Good to be back at the Forest Park Homestead studios, radio comrades, after a week away. Thanks as always to local legend DJ Larry Lyrebird for filling in with an hour of goodness direct from Sherbrooke Forest. Good on ya, Larry. See ya at a forest doof sometime soon. 

We have been in a pop, lo-fi, and indie mood the last few weeks here on Do Your Thing. It’s been a good place to be and a well-suited soundtrack for the mid-autumn stillness and late-season warmth we have been enjoying here in the southern latitudes. Let’s continue this pop sojourn by popping across the ditch to Kiwi land - one of our favourite musical zones - for a collection of NZ pop treats.

Playlist:

(Intro Song) Do Your Thing by The Clean
Loline by The Bats
Psychedelic Clown by The Clean
People To Talk To by The Mad Scene
Everyone by Voom
Cruella by Norma O’Malley 
Antarctic by Kathy Bull
Beat The Bullet by Christine Voice 
The Holy Room by The Rip
Eddie by The Sombretones
As In Blender by Alastair Galbraith
Seemingly Stranded by David Kilgour & The Heavy Eights

A weekly music based show on Thursday evenings between 8pm - 9pm (AEST). 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.
