I listened for about the 70 mins or so, good show again!
Was my post re Sk8er Boi the inspiration for this song? (I recall you saying it’s now a Gold Classic Hit during the show).
During the show, iHeart Radio song info (not always correct) credited this song to American HiFi. As far as I know, they are different bands, and my Googling couldn’t find an All American Rejects song with a title like this?
Great JCM triple play and loved hearing 'Mountain" too.

A lot of those songs I haven’t heard of before, so definitely gives me something to look for next time I’m shopping on iTunes.
I still like to have a permanent copy… then I don’t have to worry about downloading stuff onto my phone each time I fly or travel with no wifi/mobile coverage (since Spotify only keeps downloads for 30 days).
Thanks for posting this- didn’t catch all of it. I was pleasantly surprised at how adventurous this programme was, honestly NZ does everything better than us.
I listened because I was watching the closing stages of the cricket from Mount Maunganui (have to pretend I’m there). Midge Ure is apparently touring NZ which is why there were so many Ultravox songs.
Fatman by Flowers is another highlight, also played on The Conga Line.

Listening to Hokonui today and am most impressed. Live announcer - Craig ‘Wal’ Waddell. A true Southlander who rolls his ‘Rs’. Warm and friendly - like most Southlanders arrrrrre. But most impressive has been the playlist.
This is what Rebel should be doing with Breeze. This is how to do it properly. Segues and flow, each song just seamlessly blends to the next. Across the hour the tempo builds, then wanes, then builds again. Each song is carefully curated to fit. Unlike the haphazard jarring-juxtapositions of the Breeze here in the Scenic Rim which has you reaching for the off switch regularly with their self-indulgent playing of Aussie flops and nightmarish B-sides.
