Yeah I remember when they performed at the RE in Toowong in 1999. Ella Hooper was still 15! But great song.
From the same timeframe:
Steal my sunshine - Len just now on RIM FM 100.1
Also heard on RIM this afternoon:
Buffalo stance - Neneh Cherry (just one of those all time great songs, like Shane Codd).
And!
No thunder, no fire, no rain - Tim Finn on Radio Aotearoa this morning.
King of emotion - Big Country - Absolute Calssic Rock yesterday
Somewhere in my heart - Aztec Camera - Absolute radio a few days ago. Absolute seem to absolutely love this song. I love it when radio stations embrace a song and claim it as there own.
Whilst waiting at the Centrelink, I heard a good song on Nova 93.7 FM, Wonderwall from Oasis. IN addition to this they also played OF Monsters and Men’s single, Little Talks.
I used to sing this song to myself when I heard it on the radio (Usually Triple M)when I was still working at my old job,and not happy there anymore before I made the difficult decision to quit after 29 years
Plenty of songs worthy of this thread on The Sound (NZ) last night; they have an 80s alternative show on Saturday evening. The highlight was probably Ultravox- Sleepwalk and this has been slotted in for next week on The Conga Line.
Sorta reminds me of when 3ZM had Ultravox - Dancing with tears in my eyes as number one on their top nine at nine for ages in 1984… Now the song wasn’t a hit anywhere else in NZ, not played on any other station… certainly not on RTR… but in Otautahi it was cranking for a good three or four months!
Some good ones heard this afternoon on Casey Kasem’s American Top 40 on 2NUR FM. This week was from 1987
Ship Of Fools - World Party
Big Time - Peter Gabriel
Jacob’s Ladder - Huey Lewis & The News
Dominoes - Robbie Nevil
Looking For A New Love - Jody Watley
Walking Down Your Street - The Bangles
The Finer Things - Steve Winwood
Sign O The Times - Prince
I am far too young to have heard it when it was out, but I first listened to it after Chas mentioned it on PEP following Karl Wallinger’s passing last year. Well worth pausing the podcast for.
See! This is what I’m talking about. Give it to me…
I admit I have been critical of this forum in the past, being stuck in the 80s, but honestly this song is just so quintessentially 1999. Congrats to Move FM. It was the glory days of MTV and Channel V and this song reigned supreme. I think anyone who was alive in 1999 would have remembered this song… show me who you are… Satisfying baby…
Thank you for posting. I just wanna go back. Back to…
Now at Toowoomba, driving to the Gold Coast shortly where I’ll be until Monday then back home via the Pacific Hwy. Might do a day trip to the Sunshine Coast on Friday if the weather holds up.
