Australian A-League star to join Scottish club

May need to switch from calling supporters, “Arabs”, to “Aussies”.:D

“Newcastle Jets forward Lachlan Rose will join former A-League star Zac Sapsford at Scottish Premiership club Dundee United Football Club next season.

Reports out of Scotland suggest Rose’s two-year deal with the Tangerines will be confirmed next week.

Rose, 26, has been a key factor in Newcastle’s rise to the top of the A-League ladder this season, having scored eight goals.

Ex-Wanderers attacker and Socceroos hopeful Sapsford joined Dundee United last season.

And Rose isn’t the only current A-League star moving to the Tangerines at the end of this season, with Auckland FC attacker Jesse Randall also heading there.

Rose and Randall will go head-to-head at McDonald Jones Stadium on Saturday when the Jets host Auckland in a top-of-the table battle.

Dundee United Football Club boss Jim Goodwin, whose squad also includes former Adelaide United right-back Ryan Strain and Australian goalkeeper Ashley Maynard-Brewer, was reluctant to confirm Rose’s move.”

Derek Sherinian…

I’m not overly familiar with Sherinian’s work and mostly know him from the Sons of Apollo supergroup with Bumblefoot and Mike Portnoy. I stumbled upon this solo release, liked what I heard and gave the man some money.

Jezebellearic Beats Volume 1

This was another “name your price” release by someone I didn’t know but it sounds great so was definitely worth the money.

As a fan of 70s and very early 80s Tangerine Dream, I was totally stoked when I stumbled across this band on Bandcamp. These blokes were producing the TD music I loved but which TD stopped creating decades ago. This is the third album of theirs that I’ve bought, and I’ll post the other two another day.

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

Another late 70s early 80s band that embraced the synthesizer and forged an entirely new style of music. And like the best of their contemporaries, they embraced the “synthpop” label, while retaining the delight at what could be achieved when experimenting with the instruments at their disposal.
