Sunday November 9

This week I had the great pleasure of interviewing a pair of accomplished solo artists who have formed a duo of the ye olde ye ha genre. Jordie Lane and Tracy McNeil are Fireside Bellows. Their album No Time To Die will be released next Saturday, check them out at an instore performance at The Last Record Store.

We discussed the important issue of which apple is most superior, Jordie failed to articulate his preference so he will be coming back in the future to get into this important detail. They brought in some fab alt-country tracks as well as spinning some of their own ditties.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO

Checking out a bit of the country I've never seen before - heading up to Alice Springs for the CBAA (Community Broadcasting Association of Australia) conference, checking out some Uluru action for a few days and chilling in 42 degree heat and thunderstorms. AWESOME. I hope to survive and stay hydrated.

MUSIC OBSESSION OF THE WEEK

Anything sad and mopey and related to FAILING AT LOVE. Paul Kelly is really good for that. 

NEXT WEEK ON LOCAL AND VOCAL

Andy Mack and Alex from Three Chords and the Truth will be filling in whilst I gallivant all over the countryside like a naughty schoolgirl. Good times.
