one fellow's political coverage, music ramblings and general hijinks across decades under a range of guises at several locations often in a state of awe.
We’re gazing at our shoes this week on You’re Gonna Like This with Chapterhouse, MBV, and Byron’s Garage Sale. Thelma Plum and Spiderbait gets the pulse back up, and Brisbane’s The Double Happiness reminds us you can always go incognito in Nundah.
Everything seems to be in 2s today as 2-piece Party Dozen’s on twice, so’s Nick Cave, we hear 2 flavours of Oxford band Ride’s Vapour Trail and there’s 2 Micks in Bleak Squad. Plus Hobart’s QE and Melbourne-Perth’s Guy Blackman.
As they say in the TV kitchen “Adam is pushing the boat out today” by featuring Aphex Twin and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. But we’re also getting cuddly with Catatonia and The Stone Roses. There’s also three Brisbanians in one great track, and Byron Bay’s Skegss with a surf club classic.
We finally get to Tassie with Launceston’s Meres, back to Canberra with Machine Translations, then 3 faves from Brisbane and more, squeezing in 7 Aussie tracks. Topped off with a taste of what a Japanese-Norwegian co-op sounds like. Phew.
Join us for some new Brisbane fare from Bean Magazine and Tape/Off, Melbourne’s Midnight Juggernauts and the jaunty Capital City from Perth. Then a little electro with Phantogram and Ladytron for kicks.
Every song is Australian and everyone’s a winner. Many thanks to Jaimee, Bel and Bella, Nat, Chris, and Rohan for introducing their own songs in my first catch-up of the past few months’ awesome new and interesting music.
I’ve cracked out my signed copy of Drop City’s classic Magic Transistor Radio today. It goes well with a stunning new find from Adelaide, Bella Brinkworth, and Melbourne’s Maxon & Like Bear. Chased with Yo La Tengo doing The Cure and Jason Spaceman’s Spiritualized.
Lots of new and interesting Australian music today with The Electorate and Dusken Lights from Sydney, Brisbane/Melbourne’s Mess Esque , Darwin’s Emma Rowe, and more sacks – oops, tracks – from Perth’s Pond and Thermos Cardy.
I’m totally abusing my position by playing 3 songs by my favourite band *ever* as Stereolab releases their first song in 15 years. Mary Hansen from Maryborough is the lead on one. Naarm’s Annie-Rose Maloney, Grace Cummings, and Mika James ably back the greats.
I have a cold. Boo hoo me. So with a cup of Bonox I’m inflicting Amyl & the Sniffers, Peter Bjorn & John, Grandaddy, Sydney’s Sarah Levins, and former Gold Coast boy Dan kelly.
