Hola surfers of the information super highway!

We hope you're keeping cool and well during this extreme heat.  Be sure to keep yourselves well hydrated!

A sort of tribute to the late Rob Hirst, drummer of legendary Australian band Midnight Oil, who passed away on the 20th January 2026.   I grew up with Midnight Oil in the 1980's and enjoyed many a concert during my teenage years.  My first Oils album was 1983's 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 which I have unfortunately misplaced......my Oils records collection ends at 1985's Species Deceases and I'm not sure why I stopped buying their records.  I dusted off the vinyl  and throughout this morning's shamozzle of a show I dropped the needle on the following tracks:

Surfing With A Spoon from 1978's Midnight Oil

Stand In Line from 1979's Head Injuries

No Time For Games and Wedding Cake Island from 1980's Bird Noises EP

Lucky Country from 1981's Place Without A Postcard

Kosciusko from 1984's Red Sails In The Sunset

Progress from 1985's Species Deceases EP

Broadcasting from the historic Forest Park Homestead studio in the township of Upwey, an hour east of Melbourne Victoria, Peej, Elliot and maybe even Elaine hope you enjoy some nonsensical ramblings interspersed with great tunes to tap the toes to. We love independent Australian music and spin tunes from local artists over the 3 hours...Sometimes we are lucky enough to have a live performance on the show....quite rare given that 6am is not the friendliest of times for musos...but you never know....

Elliot will be in to do the weather so you know what to wear....but remember if you're listening to an earlier episode, please do not base your wardrobe decisions on this idiot's interpretation of the Australian Government's Bureau of Meteorology website....and maybe even Elaine will do a half arsed surf report when she remembers....

Occasionally there may be a little dead air....our silent panel operator who we shall not name is responsible for all dead air....he considers dead air helps you absorb a musical bracket before we open our mouths and ramble on....

Join us live on community radio 3MDR 97.1fm every Tuesday morning from 6am or enjoy previous episodes via this show page....

We love a bit of involvement from the community whether they be listening live on 97.1fm or via the wonders of modern technologies available to access this thing they call the information super highway......what will they think of next!?

Request a tune, express your delight, or disappointment, in Elliot's weather report......or just have a random chat with an imaginary friend......so super easy...... you can contact Peej or Elliot or maybe even Elaine through cyberspace at peejandelliot@gmail.com
