Sunday October 25th 2009

Today I had a special pal in the studio with me - Yvette Spaghetti came in with a sack of grouse tunes to spend your Sunday afternoon singing along and jauntily dancing to.

In the first bit I had a chat with this lady:

Kylie Auldist is a very funky lady. Her album Made of Stone is well worth a listen, it will put some tood in your bizzle, that's for nizzle. Or something. Good music. She's playing at the East Brunswick Club supported by Ella Thompson who has a decent set of lungs herself.

Here's the tunes I played in the lead up to Yvette's stellar playlist:

Stephanie McKay - Sure Feels Good

Cookin' on Three Burners - Cookin'

The Bamboos - The Bamboos Theme

Kylie Auldist - Made Of Stone

Kylie Auldist - Ship Inside A Bottle

Cloud Control - Gold Canary

Then this lady buzzed into the studio and took over - ahoy!

Big Heavy Stuff - Homesick

Kat Frankie - Fake

Something For Kate - Happy Endings

Today's show was truly a pleasure! I was joined by two fabulous fellas, Henry from The Holy Sea and Scott Davis, who's on holiday from the Gay and Lesbian Liaison unit. He put me onto this sensational band so I thought who better to share the interrogating with than our very own good cop.
