(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.
Pass the tim tams and turn the radio up loud.
