Top 100, Pt.1

 

For the first time ever, 4RFM asked its listeners to vote for their favourite songs of all time.  In the first few weeks of voting, our listeners surprised us by putting LMFAO at number one.  We subtly suggested they were nuts and the eventual winner turned out to be Cold Chisel - Khe Sanh.  The above show, which can be downloaded via the image or by clicking on the title above, previews some of the songs which didn't quite make it.  In addition to the oldest song which received votes, there's a tune from the most voted for band, some Black Keys, some Jimmy Smith, some INXS, some Angus and Julia Stone ...and why didn't anyone vote for Madonna?

West to East, Pt.2

The US tour continues from Nashville to Sweet Virginia to Baltimore, Ohio, Chicago... and look out Cleveland... and then finally New York... yeah, New York... with a final stop off in Massachusetts.  Not the most direct route admittedly, but we get there in the end.  If you want to download the show, click on the title or the photo.

West to East, Pt.1

With Mr. America himself, Barrack Obama, coming to Australia it was time for our radio station to celebrate.  As you can see from this map, I took a road tour and travelled across America via song.  In the first part of this show, you'll find me going from California, taking the motorway to Roswell, stopping by a New Orleans function, and sending a letter to Memphis.  Click on the photo or title to be taken through to where you can download the show.
