Als once a season drop by to recommend rad records... First, recently Geoff Barrow from Portishead and Katalyst, and one of portisheads studio engineers or something, sat down to produce a bunch of insane beats that a wonderful crop of young and vetran MC's have contributed rhymes to :: the project ...

I'm in! And very happy that we have ditched OzTips!

Was watching it in a pub near work, full of STI fans. The only raiders sympathiser was a man who had taken the raiders with a 7.5pt start... The crackle of heartbreak I felt with the pub rising to applause at Sourheads field goal was so brutally stomped a minute later with the killer determination, ...

Happily I have been keeping up with my "Buy an album a week" rule of late... And now that most vinyl releases come with a card to download the album for your portable plare, it only makes sense to buy them with the correct sized cover art... My recent additions Sebadoh - Bakesale (2011 rem...

Absolutely! The Surry Hills raiders massive gets a game within walking distance of my house

Cant wait.

Do you support the Clippers? I do -- so i guess thats toughened me up to long long losing streaks, and also I actually know what a terrible front office and coach are, and in comparison to the years of hell the clippers have been through in that regard, the raiders actually look in tip top shape......

It is tough... Every monday after I have finished my radio show, the boys from the jazz show an hour after me come into the studio, and have a yarn about the footy -- they are both saints fans, and this year its been getting harder and harder. They are good sports though, and are more just annoyed t...

when i first saw the general nrl ad of that, and read the accompanying press releases, I thought the NRL were kidding themselves... but its amazing what having a package of purely raiders highlights can do to change my mind! It worked really well, and I actually will be quite looking forward to seei...

As I sit here eating the rather average chocolate from the raiders advent calender my mum got for me at the supermarket (bless her socks), I couldn't help but wonder about all of this... I think out would be a great deal. Essential, as rodman above noted (bless his socks too). I really don't think t...

also note that Foxtel HD isnt "true" HD... its still compressed quite heavily (even though it looks a million times better than the appalling standard foxtel)... I would buy that just to have that dragons game on there to keep for life. I had recorded it on my iq box, but eventually had to...

the guys on grandstand one afternoon were very much favour of this measure, especially in the case of Carney and Greg Bird at cronulla - both who rightfully were shown the door at the time, but now benifit other teams.
I too think it a good idea with very little downside.

That horrid cross of The View and the infomercial bits of good morning australia haas to be the worst. The footy show second. Any of those racial profiling shows set in airports third.

glassandahalf

surely there will also be some players from teams still in the comp - titans, dragons, tigers and chooks?

In rabbits defence, he really is the most amazing swimming commentator, and should there be enough work in that sport I'd say he wouldn't do the nrl at all, but there totally isn't. And for what its worth being the play by play caller of a game is really difficult, I have been broadcasting for aroun...

I drove past Alans familys property in Tamworth yesterday and Hanging proudly from the front gate was a Canberra Raiders flag. Excitement is building everywhere. OMG! I drove by it the other day, noted Tongues Lane, and then saw the raiders flag and my family cheered... Had no idea it was actually ...

Hey yo... Will hopefully be at the lighty from around 3... the real question is though, how long does it take to walk to the stadium from there? 30 mins? A couple of mates want to drop down for pre's, but are finicky about long walks etc... And im curious too...
Or are there buses?

I once saw a comedian at the edinburgh festival do an entire show examining all the reasons to be cheerful listed in the song and discussing if they were valid or not. Very well done and the overall consensus was yes. Dury is a god. Heaps of great new music lately, but Jeff the brotherhoods "he...

in 1988, we were on holidays on the Gold Coast, and I was about 9 years old... anyway, at one of those bits of the holiday, I was just chilling in the room wanting to watch television (which when you're that young and on family holiday totally seems like a good idea, even though the idea appals me n...

Most of the super 14 teams dont have their home town in their name, and it definitely seems to be a trend for the teams to be known as their brand, not their origin over the whole league. I will always know my beloved super rugby team as the ACT Brumbies... they were even name checked as such in the...

thats actually a really good side.

so i assume its only selected from players of knocked out teams?

I'm a massive fan of Robbie Farrah, so probably him... Notable mentions for pietro civenocieva, and I've always kind of liked brent kimmorley...

had this question been asked last year though I wouldn't have needed to think about it for a second - it would have been Hasem El Masri.

3 - Campo
2 - Tilse
1 - McCrone

Was really worried that the (imho dodgy but probably consistant with the way its been called all year) campo no try would be the momentum breaker... So glad we hung on! Massive love to those at the ground , was cheering on from my hotel in tamworth, was actually really hard to get into it following ...

I just hope for 2011 they sweeten the deal for silver/out of town members at least back to what it was in 09 - 1 game of your choice, and $15 tickets for rocking up to bruce stadium, as opposed to this year where it was one game and one $15 game... Now, this did a good thing in me finding that mitch...

glassandahalf

yeah Butters from what I understand, our 2nd round "home" final will be at Homebush

This is 100% a joke. I have lost so much respect for the NSWRL on their behaviour around this issue. A sense of entitlement is only legitimate if its earned. I go to Newtown Jets games quite often (a fun day out, even if i feel slightly sick cheering on a Roosters feeder team), but I am so glad the ...

+1 for Murrays - cheap tickets online, and they *dont* show a movie, which might sound worse, but the gumph they normally put on... in my Greyhound days I must have seen about every single Billy Crystal middle-aged-crisis 'comedy' ever made on those buses, and would gladly have paid more to not have...

lately ive been diggging...

Jeff The Brotherhood - Heavy Days
Scott and Charlenes weddiing - Para Vista Social Club
School Of Seven Bells - Disconected From Desire
Holy **** - Latin
and the new album by The Books sounds jolly interesting too...

52 points in 52 minutes against probably the worst team in the comp is still pretty good.
Will be awaiting next week eagerly!

really unsure how Newcastle are our "famous rivals" but hey...

We can still win this, but really not the start i wanted to see... The Cowboys are hanging on to the ball really well, very confident...

Anyway, i might chuck a couple of my latest listens in... Pablo - Turntable Technology ---- a wonderful, quirky, dynamic and fun set of mostly instrumental hip hop from a Glaswegian producer who i know nothing of... Fantastic work though, and definately one of the best records ive heard in a long mi...

Really looking forward to my first Raiders game of the year! Also my first trip out to Parra stadium, I think I might take the scenic 'rivercat' out, as it apparently drops you really close to the Stadium itself! Personally, I dont have massive hopes of us winning on the road, but the Eels do have t...
