WE BE THE DEE (1893)

Here's a tune by Blue Bones Jones called "We Be The Dee (1893)".
BBJ says about it ..."I wanted to get away from the cliched kind of football songs that usually contain extremely corny sing-a-long choruses and tiresome anthem styled music. This track, although it has a catchy tune and is upbeat, is a bit more subtle, and unusually for a football record, can be defined as a leftfield electronic groove. A sound that breaks new ground but still with its content kept rooted in the past. Music always keeps up with the times - and the club, in 2013 has adapted to changes too, but they continue to move onward along the tracks that were laid down in 1893."
Blue Bones Jones has a strong link with another Dundee tribe of music makers, Calabar Cult, who collaborated with BBJ on this track.
The visuals too (made by Shangeau) are not your usual kind of football video. No players, no action, no stadium, just the use of the rarely seen 1972 shirt crest set in a variety of illuminated backdrops.
You can grab free copies of both the mp3 and video.
Here is the link http://sdrv.ms/1dxXmdb
The mp3 is around 8MB and the large hi-res video is 110MB.
It's just a low-res one on display here below which is why some scenes are a bit blocky, but the large version is perfect to view full screen.
Something a bit different anyway.

THE DUNDEE DOLL

On a recent trip to Prague, my brother spotted this Dundee FC Russian doll on display in a shop. He first took a picture of it on the shelf in the shop (top photo), then he decided to buy it and so brought it back with him. The other picture is it back home in Dundee, separated into it's segments, with the added bonus of there being different players names on their backs.

Those who made it to the Prague Doll Of Fame were - Antoine-Curier, Paton, McHale, Malone and McMenamin.

HOME RULE

This image seems a bit abstract at first but after a closer look you can make out what it is, with a little help from the caption.
If anyone can put the graphic to good use, feel free to grab it by clicking on the image and saving the hi-res large version.

BILLY DODDS - HPF HALL OF FAME - 1990

Dundee fanzine - "It's Half Past Four..." - had this free poster in issue #4.
This was during the 1989/90 season and Billy Dodds was the star player & top scorer, his talents also helping him have the honour of being the first to be featured in the mags Hall of Fame.
It folded out into an A3 size poster and it was drawn by Stuart Sang.

SETTING SIGHTS ON PROMOTION

If there is 1 target we all want to see Dundee hit this season, then it has to be the return to the SPL.
And all going well, the Dee will be BANG ON!!

SIGNED CANIGGIA CARICATURE - 2001

When CC met GG....
The idea behind this was to have reproductions on sale at the Dee shop, but due to lousy timing, Caniggia signed it just a few days before he buggered off to Rangers, and so it never saw the light of day! Having said that, it did crop up a few years later on the cover of Norrie Price's DFC history book - "Up wi' the bonnets!".

DEE'S BOOTS...

Dee's boots are made for walking
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days
Dee's boots are gonna walk all over you!

A wee parody of the Nancy Sinatra classic "These boots are made for walking".
