List Mgmt. Welcome Bailey Smith - officially (and finally) traded to Geelong

[Hamingja]

Don't believe those with rose-coloured glasses, men in their 20s have been pr0n-obsessed horndogs since day dot and the difference is that you no longer have to pretend to be interested in Country Living magazine before accidentally procuring something with a plastic seal.

Back in the day before bigfooty I used to buy the Herald Sun and hide it between Playboy and Hustler. I only bought it for the footy coverage, I swear.

Amateurs

All I had was my imagination

 

[The Unforgiven]

Eh, Zombie was written by an Irishwoman 70 years after the fact and still slays.

Silverchair was still a great band. Gotta just enjoy the music for what it was. It's a shame the guys couldn't keep it together as a whole band for another album or two, though.

The Irish War of Independence was indeed something that happened 70 years prior to the release of Zombie. However, Zombie was written about a specific incident that happened in 1993 during The Troubles in Northern Ireland.

Not sure about your reference of “70 years after the fact”.

The Cranberries’, ‘Zombie’: Delores O’Riordan decided to write a song that reflected upon the event + the two children's deaths after visiting the town, where two IRA IEDs, hidden in litter bins, were detonated in a shopping street in Warrington, England on 30 March 1993.

It became an Irish footy anthem, first for the teams from the Cranberries' hometown of Limerick + later for the Ireland national rugby union team starting in the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

Still absolutely slays!

 

[Lana]

More embarrassment at who I was while listening to silverchair. Also, read the lyrics to pure massacre and stop to consider it was written by a white English speaking middle class kid with no experience of conflict.

Anyway, should probably end the thread derailment

People can write about things they haven't personally experienced, song came out in early 1995, between Rwanda, the former Yugoslavia, and Chechnya, any one of them could have been on their mind.

While people are more connected to events now more then ever before (at a pace where we're leaping from one shattering event, that gets lost in the next) It is a process that has been building for sometime.

Ah - I screwed up. I always thought it was about shellshock in WW1.

Maybe I'm confusing it with PJ Harvey's Words That Maketh Murder, which absolutely IS about that.

The defining Australian songs about Vietnam were Khe Sanh and I Was Only 19, both written by people who'd never experienced war.

Indeed. Macklemore has multiple songs regarding the current events in Gaza. Hind's Hall, decrying many aspects of the conflict, but specifically the death of five-year-old Palestinian girl, Hind Rajab.

thread or music thread, I can’t keep up

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Is this a Bailey smith thread or music thread, I can’t keep up

Man i detailed this thing fast

 

[calder_daddy]

Man i detailed this thing fast

Tbh it turned to shit when people for some reason cared about whether Bailey needs a haircut or not

 

[cats_09]

We've moved from what hairstyle Bailey should rock up to day 1 of preseason training with, to starting to compile a mixtape play list for him to listen to while training

Well, at least that's what I'm assuming the music chat is about

Clearly Bailey is starting a hair metal band

 

[My Tilly]

Honestly don't care either.

I just hope we are strong again next season and can finish top four. Only this time around, a player like Smith will be critical in the last 5 minutes of a preliminary final. Something we sorely lacked against Brisbane 4 weeks ago.

Probably the most irrelevant Bailey smith post, but I assume you are a female from your pic?? I always had the naive perception big footy was the equivalent of a male lodge or moes tavern online!

 

[Romeoh1]

I think we need a thread poll, Hair cut or no hair cut. cats_09 ?

Am on team- Keep the hair Bailey! And bring your best footy.

The Band Played Waltzing Matilda is another (WW1).

I feel like I just wasted the first mouse click of the morning.

How could anyone possibly suggest anything OTHER than the Cult of the Headband?

Once you're in there's no going back.

It's amazing really how when you're young you just listen to them rhythm / beat and as you get older you start listening to lyrics.

I only started a deep dive into Prince' music after he died. And boy o boy. Everything is sex.

I'm to young to have listened to Prince but I fully endorse this as a driving force to your art. Might start listening

I'll give you two to start with. Raspberry beret and cream. And guess what? Cream isn't a song about a product made by Bulla.

Prince shagged anything and everything that had a pulse.

Even worse when you consider he taped Kim Basinger and him having sex in the recording studio and used it in his Batman soundtrack
