Hey Radio Comrades,

The 3MDR Forest Park Homestead studio is closed this week for some important repairs. However local legend DJ Larry Lyrebird will be keeping the airwaves humming with the some tunes from the depths of Sherbrooke Forest. 

3MDR stalwart Dan (aka Dap, aka Bizarro Dan) will be back in the studio next week to continue the ‘Do Your Thing Summer Edition’. Regular Do Your Thing programming kicks off for 2026 on Thursday 29th January at 8pm.

Enjoy the summer, stay safe out there and thinking of everyone affected by the recent Victorian bushfires. 

All the best,

Daniel. 

Hey Radio Comrades,
The 3MDR Forest Park Homestead studio is closed this week for some important repairs. However local legend DJ Larry Lyrebird will be keeping the airwaves humming with the some tunes from the depths of Sherbrooke Forest.&nbsp;
3MDR stalwart Dan (aka Dap, aka Bizarro Dan) will be back in the studio next week to continue the &lsquo;Do Your Thing Summer Edition&rsquo;. Regular Do Your Thing programming kicks off for 2026 on Thursday 29th January at 8pm.
Enjoy the summer, stay safe out there and thinking of everyone affected by the recent Victorian bushfires.&nbsp;
All the best,
Daniel.&nbsp;

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.

D.
