As you may know, it’s NAIDOC week, which is an annual celebration held in Australia during the first full week of July to recognise and honour the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It's a time for all Australians to learn about and celebrate the rich heritage of First Nations peoples. The week also serves as an opportunity to acknowledge the ongoing challenges faced by Indigenous communities and to promote reconciliation.

Let’s lace up our hiking boots, jump on our bike or start up the car and head off on a musical journey around the Australian landscape in acknowledgement of NAIDOC week, and to explore and celebrate some of the diverse range of musical goodness created by Australia’s First Nations people. Our journey will traverse the mountains, deserts, forests and coastlines of this vast land, soundtracked by a collection of songs that meander from traditional to folk, to electronic and beyond. 

Do Your Thing would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri people, traditional owners of the land from which we broadcast, and pay our respects to their elders past and present. Just a note to any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander listeners - this week's show contains the names and singing voices of people who have passed.

Playlist:

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.
