Today we venture into the world of Psychedelic rock which is a genre centred on perception altering hallucinogenic drugs used to develop music themes.

It's time for my Mid-Year Report Card - the tunes and artists whose work has really resonated in the first half of 2025. There are some brand new faves like Skeleten, Daily Toll, Everyone Says Hi, Bones and Jones, Wishy, Eggy, N NAO, Wilding, The Melodrones, lilo and The Tullamarines. Some tried and true like Georgia Knight, Charlie Needs Braces, Throwing Muses, Matt Berninger, Indigo De Souza and Goose. Some familiar faces who have seriously stepped it up of late such as Lotte Gallagher, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers and Ruby Gill. And in there somewhere is my favourite track thus far in 2025!

Part 1: Join Tony and Shippa as they delve into their Autumn years…or rather catch up with The Autumn Hearts. Ed, Michael and Dave from the band chat about their years in the trade, their highs and lows, and try to explain why they wouldn’t allow the drummer to be present…the nerve! A love of Britpop/rock definitely comes through their track, with harmonies to rival The Beatles and The Beach Boys. Time for some Spring cleaning of your music collection, adding some Autumns Hearts to your playlist.

Part 2: Tony and Shippa discuss new and old tracks from current Indie Artists, former Indie Artists and a classic or two. On this podcast, we introduce The Laurels (Sydney), Le Pine (Melbourne), OK GO (Los Angeles), Foamboy (USA), Jen Frank (Melbourne), Big Red Fire Truck (Manly Beach, NSW), The Burbs (Bell’s Beach, Victoria), Piper Wallin (Adelaide), Duncan Lloyd (North East UK), Minor Gold (Brisbane & Canada), Public Figures (Melbourne), with Shippa’s Surprise let’s you know How It Feels from Amsterdam!

Ahoy Froggers,
Sometimes life throws buckets of lemons at you which is what happened here this week. However as they say the show must go on. and that it has done, just without me being at the helm and supplying all that riveting information you get th hear during the talk breaks. Enjoy the solod 2 hour of tunes supplied.
Please take the time to read the info on this weeks Picture. I found it interesting as I actually have a vinyl album that requires to be played at 45 RPM and I always wondered why. This is the RSD version, cut at 45 rpm.,   Live In Loveland! 

by Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio. Released as RSD release

The theme this week is " Cut a vital connection " ! Nigel provides a handy "step by step" musical guide to wannabe dictators planning a military coup to overthrow the government . Bernie takes a broader view of "vital connections " although with a fair bit of crossover at times with Nigel ?.  Certainly more of a challenge for this show  - thanks Brian Eno !

Part 1: Join Tony and Shippa as they chat with the Sultan of Swang…Kypo! Inspired by the smooth guitar symphonic harmonics of Mark Knopfler, Brad Kypriotis (aka Kypo) seduces us with  his cool blues selection, with a smattering of vocals MK would be proud of. Tune in to have your ears caressed with dulcet tones, and surprising chord progressions which will make you reassess your definition of coolness.

Part 2: Tony and Shippa discuss new and old tracks from current Indie Artists, former Indie Artists and a classic or two. On this podcast, we introduce Fade Evare (Melbourne), The Salt Collective (Paris, USA, UK), The Graystones (San Francisco), Push Puppets (Chicago), Halfway (Brisbane), The Grogans (Melbourne), Clean Beast (Melbourne), Folk Bitch Trio (Melbourne), Andy X (Denmark) and Press Club (Melbourne), with Shippa’s Surprise coming all the way from Toronto, Canada, mon!

For NAIDOC 2025 I've focused on this year's theme of The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy to bring a music palette that includes many current and fresh indigenous artists as well as a couple of experienced voices. These include Yirinda (Samuel Pankhurst and Fred Leona), Sycco, Madi Colville-Walker, Budjerah, Caiti Baker, Emily Wurramara, Tia Gostelow, King Stingray, Pirritu, Charlie Needs Braces, Keanu Nelson, Dallas Woods, Mitch Tambo, Thelma Plum, Nooky, Cloe Terare, Kiwat Kennell, Miss Kannina, Jem Cassar-Daley. The legacy is brought by Briggs, Emma Donovan and Kutcha Edwards. I also explore the WA Music's 2022 release Demos from Ngaanyatjarra Lands and Esperance with tracks by Rachel Vibart, Grenville Westlake and Lee Ward. All of these songs are on the current Indigo FM Playlist which has 15% Indigenous content (135 of 900 songs).
