Hope you are doing well on this cool and still evening here amongst the tall eucalypts of the Dandenong Ranges, a calming backdrop for our collective weekly musical wanderings. Our on-foot ramblings take us down a mostly Australian musical trail, with a few adventures off-track to catch some tunes from the British Isles and North America. All are brought together through a love of reflective music with pop, indie, folky, and alt-leaning sensibilities.

Note: There were a few uncharacteristic technical issues during the show this week. My apologies. :)

Playlist:

(Intro Song) Do Your Thing by The Clean
All That I Have by Hannie Day
I Was The Dancer by Way Dynamic
Butterfly Eyes by Kisses
Car Buried In Snow by McKimmie
Leaving Home by Yo La Tengo
Time Is Intimacy by Hannah McKittrick

Paper Boat by The Motifs

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.
