Episode 5 Jordan Bakker

Commentary Podcast

I’d like to begin by acknowledging the Traditional Owners of the land on which this podcast was made in Naam, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation and pay my respects to Elders past and present and any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders that may be listening.

Where Art meets Post Punk is how Severins formed out of the early 90s. Now 30 years on and still recording new music and in part 2 of this episode Geoff Berry explores the themes behind his writing and how that connects to his work and his studies to achieve a PHD in philosophy.

Geoff talks about how the band has formed it's unique and wonderful sounds and his respect for the other members of Severins.

You can also find out a few things more like what he likes about Talking Heads, which Rolling Stones album is a good beginning and you have a fear of Mick Jagger and who a First Nation artist you should listen to.

Commentary Podcast

Part 1 of this episode is dedicated to Richard Moffat; because I did not mention him in my favourite, inspiring, supportive radio presenters from back in the day on Triple R. 

Where Art meets Post Punk is how Severins formed out of the early 90s. Where there was a boundary they wanted to push it and now 30 years on, you may hear if this perspective has changed..

The podcast touches on cancer and so if you are feeling a bit sad maybe catch part 2, or jump past the Ange-fest talkfest. It starts around 18m50s to 22m01s.

In Part 1 of Episode 4 Geoff Berry and I talk about the early formation of Severins after Gerry Sonts Tartan Hotpants went missing. If you don't know who Gerry Sont is, you might find out in this episode.

We also explore Sub-Terrain a venue Geoff ran in the late 90s that hosted some of the best unknown talent in Melbourne, including a moment about our favourite Melbourne pianist, Julitha Ryan.

You can also find out a few things more like which moment in time music first grabbed Geoff's attention.

Also sorry for the bad host, laughing, you find out why I laugh or it makes more sense halfway through the episode.
