On Aussie, earlier tonight, (Hey), Western Union Man - Max Merrit.

That’s also played on MMM Classic Rock every now and then. I’ll…er…send a telegram to them to play it more often.

“I Believe”; now there’s a song I haven’t heard on commercial radio for years. Great song with powerful vocals, though others might disagree. I have fond memories of it being played on my local 94.9 (Power FM Nowra) at the time of release. I like the Shakespears’ Sister output as well.

On River 94.9 today:
Mondo Rock,“No Time” about 1983 I think
Icehouse,"Love in Motion"1981👍Their first hit after they changed their name from Flowers
Dire Straits,“Twisting By the Pool” 1983

More from Hawaii…

Ordinarily, they wouldn’t be listed here since they are oft aired in Oz, but being Oz songs it was quite a sentimental feeling to hear them over here…

Both on ALT 105.9 (the station borne out of the former iconic KPOI 98 Rock)

Fire And The Flood - Vance Joy
Geronimo - Sheppard
