Yonderboi – Road Movie

11 June 2018

 Remember the good old days of film, cinema and drive in…..

The stoner endorsed yellow-coloured pop corn, a plethora of lollies being pelted from the back row – Oh, and don’t forget the four extra bodies you smuggled into the drive in, in the trunk of the Chev. 

Hold My Hand – Hat Fitz and Cara Robinson

29 May 2018

You all know of my early musical tastes from my bio, if not – I finally came out of the closet with my hardcore peers. My new found obsession of country, roots and anything with a bit of meat on the bone, there was no turning back. Just like this week’s artist, I was hooked…

Seersucker Dress – Stephen Babcock

22 May 2018

 Latest submission to the playlist this week comes in from New Yorker Stephen Babcock.

With the arrival of his latest E.P “Fiction”, it’s been a hard choice to select just one track for the list – and definitely encourage listening from front to back, but today I’m show casing “Seersucker Dress” a personal favourite…

Weightless Again – The Handsome Family

14 May 2018

If you didn’t know any better this week’s track could quite easily be mistaken for a campfire sing along.. however, it would surely ruffle the feathers at your average Scout Jamboree.. 

Kindly shared by the Music to Question Existence playlist, “Weightless Again” is this weeks feature track.

Someone recently asked me if I could focus on more female talent on the list so here we are……I knew exactly where to kick it off.

Where Is My Mind? – Trampled by Turtles

8 April 2018

I still recall hearing the original of this weeks track, back in the late 80’s .

The original as most of you would know, was written and delivered by Pixies’ front man, Francis Black. From the Surfer Rosa release, “Where Is My Mind”, has not only become a signature dish amongst Alternative listening circles – but has also been extensively used for film and TV advertisements and even video games, exposing it to the broader masses…

Ketchikan – Steig

2 April 2018

Magic Arrow – Timber Timbre

26 March 2018

 This week’s track comes from Canadian outfit Timber Timbre.

I’m going to start you off with “Magic Arrow”, from their 2009 self titled release – purely based on my path of discovery.  This track has had some exposure on soundtracks etc and figure some of you may recognise it – anyhow it’s a good place to start you on your journey.

The Way I Made You Feel – Ed Keupper

20 March 2018

I’m so lucky to live in such an amazing part of the world – Surrounded by National Parks and local surf breaks, not to mention – a world class surfing reserve.

With this week coming to an end, we’ve seen another Noosa Surfing Festival unfortunately come and go…. So for this week’s track I thought I’d throw an Australian icon into the mix……Ed Kuepper – just to help soften the blow….
