Like your style there 'hardtack' . Good stuff . Here's a nice little number from Jeff Lorber , another premier pianist/keyboard player . Macca 2.3

Qld vs Tassie in the final hey ! "Back to back" for the Tassie blokes ? Lets hope a "sporting" wicket is produced so we can get a good game . The match is supposed to be on Foxtel but my listings don't show it yet . Maybe it'll be listed in a day or so . Will probably be streaming on "cricket.com.au" Cheers

Couple of classics there JJ from STP . I think you're right . All there songs offer something . Here's a track from "Lacuna Coil" , an Italian gothic metal band (now there's a combination !) This band have had some chart success and I just love bands with a female lead singer . Evanescence , Paramore , No Doubt and Flyleaf being amongst my favourites . This song is one their hits . It did well in the US and the UK . Macca 6.8

The film "Ten Canoes" is one of the better movies I have seen in the last few years . The events of the last 48 hours or so has made me think of how this film in some ways represents the values of indigenous culture . This movie will surprise you with it's honesty , humour and on how human behavior hasn't changed that much over time . It's a really good mystery with native language (subtitles) . It won a host of awards at the 2006 AFI's (including best film). Every Australian should see this film . Highly recommended and here's the IMDb link for reviews and trailer . 4 stars out of 5 . http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0466399/

So where is Peyton gonna end up ? Apparently there's 12 teams after him . Perhaps more ! And he says he'll make a decision in a week . My tip - Denver . Reckon Elway will get him across the line . It's just a guess though . Cheers

Thought I'd resurrect this thread started by 'Cards13' Watched a terrific thriller last night called "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" . Having watched the entire Swedish trilogy a while ago I was a liitle sceptical about the English version remake but my scepticism was ill-founded . This film was very well done and was great from start to finish . 4 stars out of 5 . To borrow a phrase from Roger Ebert - "Two Thumbs Up" . Over 2 and a half hours so make sure you've lots of popcorn !! I'd love to hear from other posters recommendations of films young and old . Here's the IMDb link for reviews and trailers on this movie . http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1568346/

Here's a nice track from "Pieces of a Dream" Certainly has a "jazzy" feel to it ! Macca 2.2

Don't know a great deal about him . Left arm quickish . Can bit a bit . Originally from Canberra ? Certainly a bit of a race for the shield final now . Points :- WA 34 , QLD 30, Tas 30 and the Vics 30 . One full round to go (next weekend). Tas vs WA , QLD vs SA and Vic vs NSW Cheers

Here's one of my favourites from Aerosmith Macca 6.7

Brilliant song JJ , here's one from "The Monkees" in memory of the sad passing of Davy Jones . Macca 6.5

The question is - what happens to all your "Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image" thing-a-me-bobs when we log on ? They mysteriously disappear (slowly) Cheers ®

Good video Franky and a good combo . Liked the song as well obviously . Was watching the Wales/England 6 nations match this morning on replay and there was Tom , looking resplendent in the crowd ! Beaming smile in the end as well . Cheers ®

Macca 6.4

Have seen 2001 so many times - great sci-fi . Richard Strauss' original was magnificent but the funky version was great as well . Here's some more funky jazz from the "Down to the Bone" crew . Think they're still kickin around too . Macca 2.1

Macca 6.3

The new TV series called "Luck" may appeal to those who follow horse racing . Not sure when it will hit our shores but it's quite popular in the States . Dustin Hoffman stars ................. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1578887/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvcRr_faDrI

The Strokes are the best ............super talented bunch ! A track here from Steely Dan , transcends time . Macca 6.2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpwVFuWTeFQ

Must have a listen to some of Joss Stone's music . I've made a note ! Here's a track from Steely Dan ( probably my all time favourite band / Duo ). Their songs are a mix of jazz/funk/rock and in all reality they have their own genre . Was going to post it on "Nuggets music videos" ( 3rd person!?) but it may be more suited on this thread . It's their last track from their last recorded studio album . Slide show is a bit odd but it's best to close your eyes with this song ! Macca 2.0

Here's a classic from the one and only Janis Joplin . Departed this world at such a young age . What a voice ! Macca 6.1

Terrific choice and keep posting . Great to have you on board ! Suppose my whole idea of the music video is that it aids as a hook to get people to listen to a song . Btw , post anything you like video or no video . Lots of great rock doesn't have a music video . As I said , it's just a hook . And I agree with you that it's the music that really counts but as a means to an end .................... So far the thread has been angst free . My thoughts are that if people don't like , just scroll to something you do like . There should be something here for everyone ( for rock fans ) Cheers , Macca

Yeah , with regards to the Stones , I was never a huge fan but did like quite a number of their songs . But after discovering "Exile on Main St" ( 1972 ) and "Sticky Fingers" ( their 1971 album ) my opinion has changed a lot . Stones at their best - earthy , great driving rock n roll . And I reckon it stands up more than well . Their use of a fair bit of brass was in some ways quite unique . I now have a way more open mind to all sorts of rock ( and jazz of course ) whereas quite a few people I know have gone the other way . It's all about embracing the new ( within reason ) and retro IMO . I'd like to explore a few more bands from the 60's and 70's . More your classic bands such as The Who . Moody Blues , Led Zeppelin , Deep Purple and the like . I know a lot of their hits buts it's their other stuff I'd like to explore . Btw , I'm right into the Stone Temple Pilots thanks to your good self . Cheers JJ

This is the 1st track from The Rolling Stones 1972 classic album "Exile on Main St" . A brilliant album and arguably their best . This song is underrated IMO . Slide show only . Macca 6.0 (battling away , keeping the thread on topic!)

Yeah mate , episode 1 certainly gets you wanting more . No spoilers though hey ! Cheers

Decent combo here with Herbie Hancock and John Mayer . I think this is jazz ? It's certainly funky Macca 1.9

Yeah it was ! But I should have posted something amusing to "stay in the mood" ! Maybe later ! Been wanting to post some retro stuff for ages btw , there's so much from the Stones , The Who and the Fab Four that I could put up . We might get 'Wyl' back with us if that happens . Cheers JJ and here's one of my favourite Beatles songs - . Macca 5.9
