I suppose the recent news answers your question

Did he relentlessly sledge all the other dogs at the park?

Probably an improvement…

On another thread… we are having Shitmas (a Christmas gig where you get each other terrible presents). We are also doing a Shitmas playlist. I need your suggestions for the worst ever songs to go on this playlist.

I did think, “why can’t we do something with a great Geelong band?”, then googled Geelong bands and very quickly answered my own question

70s music, for me, is the girl with the curl right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good (Led Zeppelin IV), she was very very good... but when she was bad (Paul Anka's You're Having My Baby, Paper Lace's Night Chicago Died, etc) she was ******* horrid.

I wasn't even alive then, but I can safely say that I have never wanted to be a double bass any more strongly than when watching that video.

Aurora Borealis? Localised entirely within her music studio?

Looked at getting my teenage sister Dua Lipa tickets for Christmas. At $199/head, that'll be two Christmases, plus a few birthdays...

It's a good song, but there is plenty of music just as good being made now. Not necessarily in the same style - it's very, very seventies and there's a particular sound to that. The strings are incredibly schmaltzy at times, but it makes sense at the end. I'm not sold on the chorus though, it's...

Absolutely - but sites like https://www.albumoftheyear.org/, theaureview.com (for Australia), the Double J and Triple J feature albums, the Guardian's excellent music section, and of course the ubiquitous Pitchfork are great for finding a few gems. Unless you're feeling real brave...

One major problem is that they have to tour to make money. You can no longer make enough just off record sales alone. Hence, bands have zero time to write and produce. I mean, the Stones put out five albums in Beggars Banquet through to Goats Head Soup in six years. You cannot do that now.

I disagree about “today’s” music. Ed Sheeran, yes - but that is one small segment. It’s akin to bubblegum pop of the 60s or boy bands in the 90s/00s. Other artists are doing amazing things.

It absolutely was - especially the leap into the Strawberry Fields era. But I feel that it is also that there was somewhere to go at the time, and pop was an untapped goldmine to explore. I don’t know that there is quite the same amount of room left now.

Yeah, Kashmir blew me away too. But I genuinely do think that music being made now is just as good as music was then, it’s just that those bands were the first adopters in a revolution in the way that popular music sounded. They also had a lot more “clean air” once they broke through. From...

Most people who grew up with those decades. The great albums are just as great as they always were IMO.

Probably because it was the peak of popularity for the genre. I mean, it's like saying that 70s was the peak of disco, 80s of hair metal and new wave, 90s for grunge, 2000s for hiphop and 2010s for pop.

There is some fantastic stuff being made right now, but you do have to look a little harder because there is so much noise and information out there… and you do have to be a little bit more open to electronica in music.

Bahaha, my thoughts exactly with this thread.

Why you'd remix one of the best-engineered albums on earth (apart from money) is a bit beyond me.

Same here. God we can be insufferable at times

Oh, ok. I haven't seen the footage. This changes things for me.

Mm, depends. More broadly - and shifting away from the original point, granted - it reminds me a lot of those who get *very* heated under the collar about "snowflakes".

In all seriousness, I don't think lefties - of which I call myself one - would give a damn about calling anyone a bald-headed flog. If they'd called him another word starting with f and ending with g, sure, that's at least homophobic, but flog? That's not left or right, IMO, that's just...

Jeebus. That's like watching your Nanna hop in the car and do burnouts. I was not expecting that. Also: how low-slung is that guitar?

So are BigFooty posters ;)

Speaking as a non-parent, I'd put them all in the shower and sellotape the door shut

I loved it for what it was, and for what it's worth, I'm not the type of person who generally goes for that type of film. In fact, that might be why I liked it - not so much the action, but the usage of heat, fluids, power, metal, octane. That said seeing it on a TV would be vastly inferior.

Just got dragged to Batman vs Superman. Do not recommend to anyone. Too much talking for fans of action, too much pointless nonsensical talking and enormous plot holes for fans of drama.

I believe Greg Champion of coodabeens fame did one in the early nineties to the same tune about Ablett Sr - called "Ablett's in the air"...
