It’s a calm spring evening here in Upwey with rain gently pitter pattering on the roof of the 3MDR Forest Park Homestead studio set amongst the low mountain range of the Dandenong Ranges - a branch of Australia’s beloved and vast Great Dividing Range. Amongst this landscape we will take in a collection of mostly Melbourne-based, old and new indie, pop, lo-fi and folky musical goodness, as well as a few sojourns to connect with our Kiwi and American indie buddies.  

Playlist:

(Intro Song) Do Your Thing by The Clean
Working On Me by Winter McQuinn and Acacia Pip
Hit Me With The Light by Birdpop
Bumblebee by Program
Catseye by Minisnap
I Prefer The Twentieth Century by The Lucksmiths
Taste Tears by Lower Plenty
Documentary Footage by Pop Filter
Close by Lachlan Denton
We Can’t Have It All by The Autocollants
Not Like I Was Doing Anything (original cassette version) by The Cat’s Miaow
He Said She Said by The Shapiros
Did I Tell You by Glen Rey
Get Better by Flora

A weekly music based show on Thursday evenings between 8pm - 9pm (AEDT). A sharing of a record collection, a journey through old favourites, recommendations, discoveries from the depths of the inter web, record shop finds and current musical obsessions.

Exploring but not limited to the following musical worlds:

New Zealand guitar pop, post punk and Lo-fi sounds.

"Stories from the Australian Underground" with a focus on the mid 70s to late 80s and beyond. Punk, post punk, folk freaks and indie releases. The Australian sounds will be rounded out with a smattering of the current "Australian underground hustle".

Good roots/country music. Poetry from the dust and highways. Not what you may come across today, which as Tom Petty said ‘is basically a bad rock band with a fiddle’! From Hank to Townes to Emmylou and plenty of ‘Cosmic American Music’.

British and American folk, tied in with some good old blues. Plenty of Chicago Chess Record sounds with a journey down the Mississippi River to the northern hill country of Mississippi for some dirty country blues finishing with a side trip to Texas for some Lightnin’ Hopkins licks.

Some weeks may also feature a sprinkling of east coast hip hop, jazz, Ethiopian grooves (good for the soul), African desert blues and Greek Rebetika folk music from the depths of Asia Minor. Psych, garage rock to proto-punk, indie, shoe-gaze, dream pop, ambient and general noise. Blah blah blah.

See ya on the airwaves.
