Thanks for thatđ
Thatâs a solid playlist! Special mentions to the following nineties tracks:
Always The Last To Know- DEL AMITRI
American Life In The Summertime- FRANCIS DUNNERY
Cornflake Girl- TORI AMOS
Break In The Weather- JENNY MORRIS
Peaches- PRESIDENTS OF THE USA
- the usual 80s gems like Matt Moffitt.

One rhetorical question has to be asked: Why isnât any of the commercial FM stations in Sydney & surrounding areas (inc Central Coast & Illawarra) are doing the sort of thing that River 94.9 does every Wednesday?
C91.3 wouldâve been the perfect station to do that sort of thing, but instead theyâre just another CHR-skewed station for most of the time, which its format is already well covered by 4 other commercial FM stations (KIIS, Nova, 2Day, The Edge) that are well received within its licence area.
Then again, probably the reason why River has a âvariety hitsâ format is because Brisbane doesnât have a Smooth or Pure Gold station on FM, unlike in Sydney.

Nova 96.9 and the remaining Novaâs have finally started doing Throwback Thursdayâs which has been on Nova 106.9 for almost a year now.
The Throwback Thursday playlist on Nova 96.9 was heard across all Novaâs except Nova 106.9 which has their own more adventours playlist.
Picks from the National Throwback Thursday playlist-
Kids - MGMT
I like to move it - Reel 2 Reel
Billie Jean - MJ
Mr Vean - Culture Beat
Insomnia - Faithless
Jump Around - House of Pain
Regulate Warren G
Itâs Tricky - Run Dmc
Nova 106.9 Throwback Thursday
Bonkers - Dizzie Rascal
Shooting Star - Bag Raiders
No Diggity - Black Street
Friends In The Field - Art v Science
The Nova 106.9 Throwback Thursday playlist was my favorite of the two. It was great to not hear the same songs repeated every two to three hours.
KIIS in Sydney was playing more old School today to counter.

Wow, Dune Buggy! Bravo to River for hauling that one out. Ditto for The Badloves; Lost is one of the nicest pop rocksongs around.
When Itâs Love- VAN HALEN (WS FM). Worth mentioning because itâs not âJumpâ or âDreamsâ.

Thanks mate. Underplayed gem IMO.
Isnât it funny sometimes how when you see a rare one listed here, you happen to hear it not long after? I say this as Rebel played âI am an Islandâ the other morning, just after I read it listed here.
Also, Gold FM cranked out Pat Benatarâs âShadows of the Nightâ the other day, which is another great yet underplayed track
Nobody Told Me- THE MONITORS. (2GN). Iâve only ever heard this on Rage. Sounds like a vinyl rip too
