Lol, Quarantine 1000. Trust the Ms to think of that. Maybe they can take some tracks out of their own quarantine, aka the dusty corners of the “record library”.

Fantastic songs both of them. I’d forgotten about Short Note, what a forgotten gem that song is.

I’ve heard the weather has been ridiculous in the Metropolis of Brisbane, as in well over 30C. Summer must have missed the Short Note of goodbye that I gave it- (Matt) Finish already!

Yes it has been the summer that just will not end. 34 on Friday and still quite humid. Although today was much better.

Sweater- ESKIMO JOE

Noise FM now. Apparently the band disowns this song; I’ve always enjoyed it.

You Got Me Going Again - Machinations (1985)

Just played on 2NUR-FM.

Haven’t heard that on the radio since… well, probably 1985!

Rebel FM have played Dire Straits - Telegraph Road twice in the last week or so, in its entire 14 minutes of glory, and I for one have enjoyed it both times

And another to mention, although I’m not entirely sure it qualifies for this thread of ‘great’ songs, but something at least noteworthy from Breeze this morning:

Exactly what an album rock station should do imo.

As for the Fox song, I could definitely live with never hearing it ever again! One of the cheesier disco hits…and I’m no fan of disco in the first place.

Agreed entirely on both counts

Talking In Your Sleep - The Romantics

Just played on 2CHR 96.5 Cessnock.

Love that song!
Another one that I don’t understand why commercial radio doesn’t play more often.
Much prefer that to ‘What I Like About You’ also.

I’ve heard that tune a couple of times on The Mechie Show.

Mustang Sally - The Commitments

Heard on Mix 106.3. When I realised it was a fake cover made for a movie AND didn’t really chart well statewide I should’ve wished it never became a radio staple [Maybe that was because of the movie’s success?] but I still liked it.

It was released as a single from the album and reached #63 in the UK Singles Chart, #43 on the Australian charts and #17 on the New Zealand charts

Seems pretty real to me
