  1. Was reading this a couple if weeks ago,the Russians have already got one brother. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-20/russia-conducts-missile-test-hypersonic-euro-atlantic-tsirkon/100308688
  2. I could listen to NOFX for the rest of my life and be happy. Nearly 30 years on still pumping out quality music. Their latest release,Single Album was going to be a double however after listening to it and talking to friends Mike culled it down to a single album. He stated that in his opinion the only truly great double album is Pink Floyd's The Wall. I kinda agree however Frank Zappa's Joe's Garage is pretty good,it does taper off at the end however it is a great descriptor of how bands start,peak and fade.
  3. Yeah it was hard not to pick the Beatles. However lyrics are slightly more important than the actual music to me. And the topics Mike writes about,social justice, politics and religion are what I research and study.
  4. On the recommendation of our of our members I have downloaded the discord app. When I try to join the this league I put cdcgml in and it asks for a 4 digit code. Can someone enlighten me as to how to join. I only have a phone and my computing skills are crappy.
  5. You know my Answer brother. NOFX And seeing that Mike owns a record label that should allow me to listen to all the band's on his label.
  6. Was also listening to a talk later in the arvo about this organisation. https://cpj.org/reports/2020/12/record-number-journalists-jailed-imprisoned/ It's getting harder to find out the truth.
  7. Not peer reviewed yet however the article illustrates how solar storms disrupt communications here on earth,one in 1989 in Quebec that blacked out the province for 9 hours. https://www.livescience.com/solar-storm-internet-apocalypse
  8. When I listened to this today while bunching my flowers it blew me away. So many injustices and so many events in the middle east over the last 30 years that can be traced back to this "operation" including 9/11. https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/sundayextra/13526274 Operatives risking Jail time speaking to him. Contraventions of the Warsaw Convention Act. Western governments totally betraying their people and then trying to cover it up for the last 30 years. The list of crimes seems never ending. As soon as the lockdown ends I will go straight to my bookshop and order the book.
  9. Aww man I am so envious of you. I would love to have been able to meet Chi Pig. Dead at my age. When I heard that last year I was gutted. His band's name says it all to me. Societies No @#$### Use PS I want that T- shirt !
  10. Gotta agree with you The definition of elite A select group that is superior in terms of abilities or qualities to the rest of the group. At any given time there are only a handful of individuals that qualify in that bracket in any profession/trade I certainly would not include Jesperi in that group ATM. While a player can elevate their game,elite players usually display their elite qualities from the get go.
  11. You will always be Chevy to me. That is such a great pic from one of his best performances.
  12. Fantastic post Brother. Take your southern neighbours attitude towards women's rights. Hard won freedoms and rights such as control over their reproductive rights are being eroded away. And this is happening all over the world. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/feb/28/rise-of-the-strongman-dozens-of-female-world-leaders-warn-womens-rights-being-eroded
  13. Evidence please ! Or I will inquisition your ass. Only took the church 359 years to admit Galileo was right.
  14. Who can forget this Goldie ! I have loved DOA for decades however since I found hockey Songs like this one and the hockey song have taken on more meaning to me.
  15. From what I can gather Mike would only imbibe while on tour. I think it was a year ago the boys staged an intervention and since then he has been reasonably straight and writing prolifically. NOFX's biography The Hepatitis Bathtub and Other Stories is a great read documenting the so-cal punk scene from the early 80's. Each chapter is from one band members recollection of events. Like witness statements no remembers things exactly the same way. Fantastic read. I didn't know smelly had his own MX team with Brian Deegan on it. Apparently they caused havoc in the pits.
  16. Who says punk is dead ? It is not just music,it's a social movement. Have you seen that 4 part series produced by Iggy Pop,John Varvatos and Derik Murray ? Absolutely great series about the evolution of punk. https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/program/punk States it is viewable to the end of October. Went to England when I was 11 in 1975. Saw all the punks with the wild haircuts. Bought never mind the Bollocks a few years later and have been a punk ever since. And I do know where the good stuff is. One example from here in Melbourne is a band called The Clowns. 4 records out,each one better than the the previous one. Signed to Fat Wreck Chords. One of the labels where you will find a lot of great new punk.
  17. Like I keep saying Brother Wolves and sheep. To expand on that most people are content to have others make decisions for them. Not many people apply 100 percent of their abilities and effort into what they do. True freedom is being with the people you love,in places that you love,doing what you love.
  18. Definition of communism A theory or system of social organisation in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs. As of 2021 there are 1,058 billionaires in greater China. By comparison there are 696 billionaires residing in the united states. Communist ? There has never been a truly communist country.
  19. A couple of stunning images from Hubble. https://scitechdaily.com/stunning-hubble-space-telescope-image-of-a-glittering-globular-cluster/amp/
  20. I remember my first season in your country and really becoming a believer in our religion. One of my friends told me the saying ,I went to a fight and a game of hockey broke out.
