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.
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.
Inspired by holiday road trips, this week’s dreamy selection features Metric’s Emily Haines, Brisbane’s Katanak and Sydney’s Jerome Blazé, new Spacey Jane from Perth, and a classic ’90s Straitjacket Fits number from NZ.
Lots of local this week with Brisbane’s Golden Vessel, Major Leagues, and Clark Fable. Perth’s world-renowned Tame Impala and Methyl Ethyl. And Sydney’s Nick Ward features twice in this very Smiths selection.
We’ve three Melbourne artists in Augie March, Courtney Barnett, and brand new Bel Kil this week. Ball Park Music represents the locals, new Dope Lemon and Ry X from the New South.
It’s a very British-centric collection this week as Adam explores the bounce, introversion, and just plain lovely edges of the isles. Also hits-up Melbourne’s Icecream Hands and Toowoomba’s Cardboard Cutouts.
