Show 102 - Back Down Under

(Weekend of March 12-March 14, 2004)

Back Down Under!

We're completely fed up with this long, cold winter so we thought we'd revisit a place where it is currently summer: literally the other side of the world, Australia and New Zealand!

We shall seek the answers to cosmic questions like. . .

How was Australia discovered, like man, what's the real story?

Is it true that not one member of the legendary Aussie legends the Easybeats is actually from Australia?

Where is Peter Garrett and what is he doing?

What teen dance TV show did kids in oz watch in the 60's?

Who wrote that way cool riff in the film music of master and commander?

Along with Aussie and kiwi legends like the Easybeats, the Saints, Toni McCann, the Stems, the Bee Gees, Midnight Oil, the Lime Spiders, Radio Birdman, the Purple Hearts, Simple Image, the Scientists, the La De Das . . .

We also tune in to groovy contemporary sounds from the likes of the Chevelles, the d4, the Vines, Thirty Odd Foot of Grunts, Jet, the Hekawis, and Mr. Brown.

No worries, mate, we can guarantee you that no kangaroos were tied down during the recording of this show.

Show 101 - On The Road

(Weekend of March 5-March 7, 2004)

On The Road!

We're celebrating Jack Kerouac this week, ahem, like without whom, you dig?

As Steven says, 'jack would devour, make love to, and push to new limits a language called English which he wouldn't speak until he was five years old. ' Indeed, "on the road" would change the world and our consciousness forever.

We're spinning some road songs and some stories about and by jack himself. The atmosphere he was born into - the legendary artists and writer who became his greatest friends - the birth of the beat generation.

You'll also hear a world premiere - three songs from an upcoming album by some folks we've dug before who live rather far away. A place where the water runs down the drain backwards.

Contemporary garage from the likes of Jarvis Humby, Gluecifer, Courtney Love, Manic Hispanic, the Charms, the Chesterfield Kings, Back in Spades, the Vines, and the Defectors.

So snap those fingers, and blow baby blow.

"It was drizzling and mysterious at the beginning of our journey. I could see that it was all going to be one big sags of the mist. "Whooee!" yelled Dean. "Here we go!" and he hunched over the wheel and gunned her; he was back in his element, everybody could see that. We were delighted, we all realized we were leaving confusion and nonsense behind and performing our one and noble function of the time, move."
