FOXTEL Music plays good music.
I think you can still also stream it on the Stingray app in high fidelity at 320 kbps.

Funny that⌠CDs are now generally around $20-22 for new releases.
Ones that have been out for a while are often cheaper.
And LPs, which back in 1986 were $13 are now generally over $40.
Does anyone got some rare finds on MTV Classic?
Was surprised to her Amiel - Stupid Lovesong on Nova the other night. Great song. Of course, it was only played late night (after 10pm) when they play all the Australian music. But at least they played it and it was good hearing it after all this time.
At about 8:30 last night, MMM nationwide (given both Metro and Regions now take Dave Gleesons show) played Elvis Costello - Veronica. Not only was it the first time in a long time that Iâve heard it on radio (it is on my personal playlist), given my Great Grandmother (fatherâs side, mother to my late Grandma) was named Veronica and itâs been close to 20 years since her passing it does have some extra significance personally.
In 2002, Kylie Minogue released âCome Into My Worldâ, the fourth and final single from her album âFeverâ. Nova FM, in particular played an edit of a bootleg white label remix known as the âParkside Mixâ before switching to the single version weeks later. Nowadays, both versions are rarely heard on local radio.
âCome Into My Worldâ is one of my favourite Kylie songs.
Youâre right, it doesnât get played much anymore anywhere.
That is one of Kylieâs best. It always reminds me of the UK as I was there on holidays about the time. Believe me it was on MAXIMUM rotation on so many stations there at the time, commercial and BBC. I could barely go an hour or two without hearing it.
At 6:07PM tonight, MMM Regionals in Qld heard Iâm sure for the first time on a regional network for many years, Bachelor Girl - Buses and Trains. Almost certain this wouldnât have been played here since Tania Doko (lead singer) left the disaster that was Popstars Live close to 20 years ago very early in the season.
A question on âMillionaire Hot Seatâ earlier this week reminded me of this one hit (well two hits actually) wonder from the 90s⌠Tori Amos.
The question was regarding âProfessional Widowâ (who sang it), but it reminded me of her other hit - âCornflake Girlâ⌠a great song I havenât heard in ages anywhere⌠I just love the piano solo towards the end.
Perhaps Nova, KIIS, Hit or even Triple J might play her occasionally, but as I donât listen to those stations much, I wouldnât have noticed it!
Cornflake Girl made the Hottest 100 in its time too, and very occasionally pops up in more your Double J type settings, but youâre right that itâs been largely forgotten. Was it mainstream popular at the time of its release, or more just in alternative circles? (Iâm just that bit too young to remember that level of detail about 1994)
Was mainstream popular ( and I grew up in a country town), little bit of a novelty factor with the song title amd opening line, and was included on a 100% Hits compilation album.

At approximately 9:20 AM EST (emphasis on the EST at this time of the year), MMM Regionals in Queensland would have heard what appeared to be either a live or unplugged version of Australian Crawl - Oh No Not You Again. Especially on regionals MMM generally only give Errol, The Boys Light Up or Reckless a run every now and again. I do say it sounded like a live or unplugged version as James Reyne wasnât really joined by backing singers on the track so it may have been recorded from one of his many live solo shows post Aust.Crawl.

I have heard The Way It Is by Bruce Hornsby and the Range twice this weekend on radio. Itâs quite a well known song but itâs one that I hadnât heard on radio for a long time.
Weirdly I heard an updated remix of this when I was overseas a few months ago, was kind of shocked to hear someone had done something with it
Nice!
Chocolate Starfish - Mountain was heard on Breeze 100.6/92.1 this evening. Another song from around 1993 that was huge at the time but rarely heard these days.
