Great songs heard on radio

Tina Arena- Chains

Jethro Tull- Living In The Past

Sunshine FM Nambour today. The format is a little haphazard at times (they play some genuine old style 2CH ‘beautiful music’ as well) but still a decent listen.

Sunshine FM is basically the Sunshine Coast equivalent of 2NUR (Newcastle) & Coast FM (Central Coast), and is a decent alternative to the local commercial stations (Sea, Mix, Hot, Zinc).

It has a strong following in the region, which is backed up by this ratings report:

Yes similar but 2NUR is a bit more upbeat overall, which is why I prefer it.

These were in the Missing Six, all about the impending GTA VI release. All of these featured in the extended trailer, along with Against All Odds (Phil Collins) and Love Bites (Def Leppard).

Thanks again for listening…I never know when you’ll audit my show, so I make sure to hit a six every time :slight_smile:

Heard on 2NUR’s Saturday night party shuffle:

Sandii & the Sunsetz - “Sticky Music”

Great song, and another one I’d never heard before! Surprising to learn that a Japanese band had a top 20 disco hit in Australia in the mid-80s.

Yes, I remember when it charted around mid 1984. Had no idea they were a Japanese band until a few years ago.

Some pearlers heard on Double J’s dinner mix this evening:

  • Beck - Where It’s At
  • The Definition of Sound - Pass The Vibes
  • Jamiroquai - Alright
  • DJ Shadow - Midnight in a Perfect World

If they played this sort of stuff as the default mix, I’d definitely listen more often. ‘Pass The Vibes’ is a great (mostly) forgotten one from the 90s.

Unfortunately there is much too much mediocre indie rock and hip hop in the regular playlist.

In the car this morning, heard

You I Know - Jenny Morris (on 103.7 2NUR FM Newcastle)

Sweet And Sour - The Takeaways (on 97.3 Lake Macquarie FM - a shame they don’t broadcast in stereo as they play some good music sometimes).
