Two absolute Aussie classics right there. I’m glad Goanna’s Spirit Of Place album is now on Spotify, too.

Wa Wa Nee’s “Inspiration” on Nowra’s Power FM yesterday. Last time I hear that song was on the “Stereo Rock of the 80s 2SM” in 1986. 30 years ago when I was in Year 7.

It was the perfect way to end a weekend away in Mollymook. My best buddy and I cruising up the Princess Highway at 100km an hour and singing out loud “All I need to get is stimulation so get me up against the wall…”

Do you mean “Stimulation” ?

I think so, but perhaps any additional innuendo in his post would trigger the attention of the mods…

Self Control- LAURA BRANIGAN (2CA). Heard whilst taking a nighttime jog by the bay bridge, which made for a very GTA:Vice City moment.

I am cheating here a little bit but they were still great songs to here:

  • Pilot’s January
  • Bill Wyman’s Je Suis Un Rockstar
    Not heard on the radio but at the Oxford Hotel in Petersham on Saturday night. Played in the courtyard - very loud - with a few wines - perfection.

I know - off topic - but such good songs. And shiraz.

Led Zeppelin - Hey Hey What Can I Do
Frenzal Rhomb - Never Had So Much Fun

No prizes for guessing which station played these today. Between 5 and 6pm

Hearing Frenzal Rhomb on a commercial station is almost unheard of actually, even for the most delinquent of rock stations. They are the epitome of a Triple J band, the bloke even hosted breakfast there!
