Hey Radio Comrades, 

Do Your Thing (DYT) is away this week, but fear not, local legend DJ Larry Lyrebird will be filling in with some deep cuts direct from the depths of Sherbrooke Forest. DYT will hopefully be back in the studio next week for more radio fun times. 

See ya on the airwaves. :)

Hey Radio Comrades,&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.

Do Your Thing | No Show This Week | 05-03-2026

Greetings radio comrades. It's good to be back in the Forest Park Homestead studio - my apologies for being away last week. I hope local legend DJ Larry Lyrebird kept you entertained with some deep cuts from the depths of Sherbrooke Forest. 

Let’s hit the musical trails of North America to soak in some of the current alt and pop rocking hustle. The latter stages of our journey find us looking back at some of the influences of a key player in the US 'new rock' movement, before we end things in Australia’s millennial alternative rock universe.

Playlist:

(Intro Song) Do Your Thing by The Clean
Diamond Jubilee by Cindy Lee
Love Takes Miles by Cameron Winter
Taxes by Geese
Perfect by Wednesday & MJ Lenderman
Wristwatch by MJ Lenderman
She’s Leaving You by MJ Lenderman
Powderfinger by Neil Young and Crazy Horse
In A Jar by Dinosaur Jr.
Father To A Sister Of Thought by Pavement
These Days by Powderfinger

Do Your Thing | Show 267 | 12-03-2026

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. :)

All That I Have by Hannie Day
I Was The Dancer by Way Dynamic
