18 June 2019
Reminiscent of the good ol’ boys of country – the living legend “Wayne The Train” brings us a second addition to the playlist this week…
Jesus On TV – The Celibate Rifles
5 June 2019
It doesn’t matter who you are or think you are – where all just ticking over doing our own shit…
If the world was on count down to Armageddon, can you image the fuckwits coming out of the wood work – LOL…
Burn My Shadow – UNKLE
14 May 2019
I gotta be honest – we’re eighty six tracks into the list and I feel like I’m getting a little stale.
Genres, sub genres and everything in between – I feel like I’m serving up steak and eggs every week – so I’m looking into my big black book of karma-sutra, cause I’m sure I can fuck your ears with a little more than my usual offerings…
Scratch – Morphine
7 May 2019
I’ve always felt that Morphine was one of the most appropriately named outfits in relation to their creative sound
Like the warm fuzz of an opioid – you can almost pack this track into your favourite implement, lay back and let the seduction take over…
Deeper Than Hell – Jeffrey Halford and The Healers
1 May 2019
There’s absolutely no question about the imagery and atmosphere that Halford and the Healers conjure with their music.
Deeper than Hell is a definite essential on your next road trip, with its rich narrative lyrics, and a blend of rootsy sub-genres and flavours…
Get A Strut On – Son Of Dave
9 April 2019
Blues Man, innovator and genius.
Son of Dave’s genre crossing compilation of sounds has set him apart from any artist I’ve discovered…
Dirty South – James Leg
2 April 2019
I recall lying on the floor in my teens, with In a Gadda da Vida blaring in complete darkness. It wasn’t the first time that I’d crossed paths with the piano or organ, though.
My Mother and Grandmother would play on the old Victorian Upright in the living room everyday – It was like clockwork – just like the old-man inhabiting the shitter at first bird’s of the day…
Perfect Wife – Amigo The Devil
26 March 2019
A big thanks to Jesse from http://www.morosity.com/ for the introduction to this weeks feature artist.
Perfect Wife has all the pleasantry’s of a Mumford and Sons mainstream super hit – except for a couple of lyrical concepts…
Sunrise – Ryan Bingham
19 March 2019
Desert or Ocean?
I just can’t decide where my heart truly lies.
For anyone that’s spent time out in the middle of nowhere, you know what I mean…
Deep Slide Blues – Box Falcon
12 March 2019
Brisbane, Australia has been subjected to its fair share of ridicule….
For years we’ve worn the brunt of shit slinging from the southern states, regarding art, food and culture.
But in my opinion, we not only have the sunshine, but we also incubate some of Australia’s finest music – The Saints, Go-Between’s and Powderfinger – to name a few….
Can’t Say No – Beasts Of Bourbon
5 March 2019
The Beasts of Bourbon have been pleasing fans down-under since the early eighties.
After decades of playing hard and truly living up to their name in every sense of the phrase, sadly we said goodbye last year to bassist Brian Hooper and guitarist Spencer.P.Jones. Unbeknown to the current line-up April 2018 marked the end of an era with their passing…
Camel Walk – Southern Culture on the Skids
19 February 2019
In the wee hours of the morning, long after any order or political correctness was present – The drunks line up for their turn at navigating the stereo.
Anything is possible at this time of the morning – the good the bad and the ugly…
