Hypnotic Brass, Adam Page, The Bamboos, The Verses...why not?

Date aired: 13th November 2011

Well this week I had very little time to prepare for this hour of music so I threw together some tunes from my personal collection. Which of course includes a fair amount of Australian content.
I was a little disappointed to miss out on Hypnotic Brass Ensemble playing again in Adelaide on Friday night after seeing their 2010 performances. They really are a dynamic live show. It's just no fun going by yourself... :)

 Ella doesn't drive. There was no stunt double. A stressful day for the owner of that classic car....! But it was all cool...nice vintage Australian styling for this music clip.

If these dudes were playing music outside my train station I'd be late for work that morning....and rather short on cash for the day... :)
Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. They're all brothers...not just in music...

Global Lounge gets jigging! In a Celtic way....

Date aired: 10/7/11

This week we started with a song, or two...by the Decemberists..
The playlist was inspired by the music of the Decemberists and started with a song about a mining tragedy that happened in the US, June 1917. Seemed like a good time to think of mine safety and appropriate considering the audience of our community station, many of whom are here for mining.
I followed the roots of the music from the album "The King is dead" and along with going to REM and Bruce Springsteen, the story song format led me to the Emerald Isles and Scotland and traditional folk music for a modern audience.
