Gigz choice this week is not really my taste (which puts me in a vanishingly small minority) but I can definitely identify with the 11 year old who worries about everything and its echoes into adulthood. As for songs that made 11 year old me happy, I would nominate Van Halen’s Jump. Still a banger.

Introduce yourself with 10 bands you’ve seen live. Queens of the Stone Age Iron Maiden AC/DC The Drones Slayer Primus Nine Inch Nails Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds The Hilltop Hoods The Sunnyboys

This is a great idea and the first song Gigz chooses is… somewhat obscure, but comes with a great story and delivers on the promise. #1 on my Happy Monday list would likely be Give up the Funk by Parliament. I dare anyone to listen to that song without bobbing their head and smiling.

Foxtel commentary on GC vs Port is ahead of the vision. It is very disconcerting to hear Derwayne accurately predicting the play.

As a confirmed atheist, please God let North win this game. Our supporters have had so much pain, and this would make a lot of it worthwhile.

Exactly this.

I know I’m very late to the party, but I’ve just discovered this mob youtu.be/bpzqW-zBYcA?... Oh. My. God. Their stuff is magnificent!

Why isn’t the umpires’ whistle audible on Fox Footy? I’m finding it very off-putting. Can’t tell when a mark or free kick has been paid. #AFLSwansHawks #FoxFooty

Marnus is getting VERY close to simulated fielding. Any chance the umpires intervene with a 5 run penalty? #AusvInd
