Smooth criminal - by alien ant farm I think it was.
Sympathy for the devil by Gnr.
Anarchy in the USA by Megadeth.

It's one thing to do an all along the watchtower with a song and make it your own but covering a classic is a bit pointless imo.

Gotta say - I thought it was great cover ...

Not sure what this match will really do for England except time in the middle and a look at the bowlers.

Give the English media a chance to wax lyrical about aggression, Bazball and the new stars in the making?

Not really a podcast - but for anyone interested in basic vocal 'mechanics' and the journey of an opera singer exploring metal and alternative music. Elizabeth is really interesting to listen to. The video below is Devin Townsend which was her first foray into heavier music.

I had the displeasure of meeting my boyhood hero - Gavin Hastings. What a tiresome, droning, self important bellend. So disappointing -

I had the displeasure of meeting him twice at corporate events a long time ago Very much the "don't you know who I am" sort!
Obviously matured with age as he ...

I guess most rugby players, amateur or pro, are cut from the same cloth and like to uphold rugby values.

I've only ever met a handful of proper pricks - Guscott, Leigh Davies. Can't think of any more off hand, but will have a think.

Top blokes who might surprise you, Brian Moore, Stuart Barnes ...

That is absolutely joyous.

And out for a 2 ball duck in his next game. Cricket is a cruel mistress.

But he will likely have a huge future - definitely in franchise cricket.

Seemed like a decent man - shameful institution though.
I thought he had blanked JD?

Nah - gave him a tie, some rosary's and tried a exorcism.

You all operate on feelings, exactly as a woman does (the above pics kind of illustrate that), whereas a male operates by applying logic.

Erm - my male logic suggests that a man found guilty of sexual assault, is a man to be shunned, punished and despised.

Your male logic suggests that that ...

This is a weird one. It comes across as bubble gum nothing pop - BUT - the lyrics are surprisingly moving, the sing-a-longability is off the charts and its got a catchy melody.

Please do not expect a Christmas card from ...

I hate myself - I enjoyed that.

I'd be interested in a 'B-Grade' movie getting a big remake - something like Krull or The Black Hole?

Also - even though I love the original movies - taking a movie like Cross of Iron, Paths of Glory or Gettysburg and shooting it with a big ol' budget would be visually amazing.

I was driving the other day and this came on the radio. There are songs that can make you pull over and just listen and there are ones like this that make you want to pull over and throw up.

The video actually makes it worse, a feat I thought would be impossible.

How long will they give Lawson before ditching him?

First time he out-qualifies Max?

Not even.... :lol:

holy shit, what do they do if Tsunoda struggles?

Tox Ick

I hope Yuki does struggle. Partly because it will prove that Red Bull as a team is the issue - and that Lawson is a good ...

Didn't hold out much hope with this final.

India are so very good - unsure why they need extra help - but there it is.

I hope some media push back against the ICC and their bosses being the BCCI.

Great result for NZ. The best team that has played in the tournament in the actual host country.

As for Sunday - genuinely don't think NZ can beat a VERY inform Indian team. Really disappointing that India have been given a massive advantage (that they certainly don't need) - but I hope we give a ...

It's good that India will be in the final of their home tournament.

So it is just the nukes then?

Russia can't even take Ukraine after 3 years - what hope do they have of taking on the whole of Europe?

Army sizes mean nothing now....flood the skies with drones and boom - you have more destructive force than an army of 200k boots on the ground.

......but the nukes.

Kill NATO - create something new - unleash industry for 10 odd years - create a cohesive European defense force and leave the US to themselves.

The US is a rouge nation that must be phased out.

Oh it is oh so simple.....absolutely no downside to this plan.....

Outstanding.

Got my tickets for The Pixies.....2nd try to see them after illness scuppered my plans last time.

Checking out some of their newer 2010's albums - Indie Cindy and Head Carrier are just wonderful to re-engage with. I wish I could have seen them with Kim Deal or Paz (who I have a very ...

Been watching the coverage solely on CNN, greatly enjoying their frustrated angst because their normal stunt is to just cut Trump off when he starts dismantling any of their false years-long narratives. But as it was the inauguration then this time they couldn't flick the switch on him.

And once again - a Democrat does something that a Republican/Magat would have no qualms in doing - and yet the Democrat is held to such a different level of expectation and moral decency that the news cycle will be 'outraged' muppets showering spittle of rage that Biden would DARE do such an immoral ...

Having watched Scotland live last weekend - admittedly through pub crawl eyes - SA will demolish them. Too big, too fast and too strong.

Yep. This false modesty on the part of springbok fans is just such a pile of wank.

It is funny....SA are so far above the rest of the world right now ...

Seems like Zelensky understands that to get trumps favour - you need to fluff him.

I have become less concerned about Russia as a military power. If a couple of NATO Nations start pushing back (particularly Poland) - Russia will run.

Russia barely managed to make gains against Ukraine standing on ...

Trump has lied to people, they have believed his lies because those lies play into their pre-existing biases that are part of their cultural identity (and unlike the UK there is no party to the right of the Republicans to suck up those voters once they're activated on the "legitimate concern" of ...

The craziest nickname I have heard was a for a guy that I met in London. He was an Aussie guy of German decent. The first time I joined him and his mates from Aussie for some drinks they started calling him 'jewburner'......I thought they were kidding around - but he had been called that for over a ...

And I don't think we will see a Democrat administration ever again.

Gameday (NZ time). I have a feeling in my gut that the US will see sense and then the sideshow will be fun to watch. We'll see.

One funny thing - the UK had their elections 4th July, the USA having theirs on 5th November. Such a love of fireworks.

What I keep on coming back to is the simple ...

Do we all agree that the UK boat is the best looking boat out there? The orange, silver and black absolutely slaps.

I saw Oasis at Queens Wharf in Wellington in 98. It was awful - the lads just sniped and argued and stopped songs in the middle...I think they even threw some fists?? The worst bit was the last couple of songs they played were actually amazing and showed what an on form Oasis could do.

Any bands ...

Is this race just a pretty big example of Max's lack of actual race talent?

He is brave/stupid/reckless when he doesn't have the fastest car. Admittedly - when he is racing from the front - he is incredibly fast and makes very few errors because there is no pressure on him. But put him in the pack ...

Not sure why the English are bemoaning the power imbalance in cricket? England, Australia and India are a power unto themselves. When these three teams play each other in a test series it is minimum 3 tests. The likes of Pakistan, NZ, SA, Sri Lanka etc have to make do with the breadcrumb 2 test ...

trump has won this - independent voters will not turn out for Biden and even the RINO's will suck up the stink and vote for trump.

Democrats are a terrible political party - Biden has been a surprisingly effective President - but he is too old for a second term. Dem's should have been planning for ...

NZ Cricket need a head to roll.

Choosing net sessions over warm up games???

It's like we didn't even want to be there.
