Down in Sydney for a few nights
On the way down, I heard
Get Back - The Beatles
(Triple M Newcastle)
Montego Bay - Allniters
(Coast FM Gosford)
Cocaine - JJ Cale
(Northside FM 99.3)
Mountain - Chocolate Starfish
(SWR 99.9 - must have been just before they lost power)
That must have been the ‘Don’t tell Bill I’m playing this’ song of the hour.
And after that, @matt86 probably spouted a few Four Letter Words.
yeah that was a wind and a half!

Triple M Nights with Dave Gleeson
8:15pm: “Elevation” by U2
8:51pm: “Numb” by Linkin Park
Might want to lay off the Vindaloo mate!
Time by Pink Floyd got played on Dave Gleeson’s show tonight! It was in the ‘Classic 9 at 9’ with the theme being songs with sound effects. Second time I’ve heard that one this month.
Was ‘Time’ followed by the reprise of ‘Breathe’?

Smallzy’s Surgery
7:53pm: “Mr Brightside” by The Killers
8:48pm: “Bring Me to Life” by Evanescence
Triple M Nights with Dave Gleeson
7:45pm: “Mr Brightside” by The Killers
Interesting to see Mr Brightside played on both shows within ten or so minutes of each other.
At 1:12 PM today on 2MMM 104.9 FM (Triple M Sydney) I heard Australiana by Austen Tayshus. Still a classic spoken word single with Aussie puns!
I’m a bit surprised Triple M don’t play more songs like that… it’s very blokey and “boganey” and it would suit their demos to the core.
Same with playing bits of the 12th Man, maybe even bits of Rodney Rude?
And Chris Franklin’s parody of the Meredith Brooks song “Bitch” is another (as below)… I love this one!
Triple M Gold Coast are playing double Paul McCartney songs across the day ahead of his Gold Coast concert tonight. Unusual by a pleasant surprise to hear songs from the 70s especially 60s from The Beatles and Wings.
Heaven help us all when Taylor Swift gets here though…
I can see 104.1 in Sydney become “2TAY FM” for a day and go all Taylor Swift for a few hours! (hope no one from SCA is reading this thread…)
Similarly if/when Olivia Rodrigo comes here, whenever that is, the radio stations will spam their playlists with her music.
This is going back a bit, but no doubt some on here will remember P!nk Radio on DAB from around 2009-10. Then there was Classic Hits Plus which featured all Beatles music for a time (though if any artist deserves a dedicated station, it’s the Fab Four).
2UE (then under Fairfax ownership) used to run a dedicated station for The Beatles called “FAB-4”. Likewise for 4BH in Brisbane (also under Fairfax ownership at the time), who ran “4FAB”.
This was in the very early years of DAB+ in Australia (ie. 2009-10).
Interesting when there’s already a station called 4TAB.
I used to like that one too
Just heard the song ‘Lemon’ by U2 on C91.3 Campbelltown, NSW.
Not sure why I’ve never heard of this song on the radio previously.
Released on the Zooropa album back in 1993. 30 years ago…
Did it not get much airplay previously?
It’s a great song, video clip on Youtube too.
Good on C91.3 for playing this song. 
It got a bit of airplay in the 90s (along with ‘Numb’ from the same album) but it’s very rare to hear it now. Both ‘Lemon’ and ‘Numb’ get a run on my show.
Was just playing/watching that song on Youtube
