Episode 29: February 16

Dan Vo, formerly of The Fool and The Opera, filled in Johno's shoes tonight.

We shined the light on emerging Sydney singer-songwriter and Triple J presenter Brendan Maclean. Brendan has just released a brand new EP titled "White Canvas", which is available to purchase through his official website. In the interview, we talk about the making of the EP, the reception to his crazily entertaining live shows and being an openly gay performer. Petro also drags a skeleton out of the closet...


The Australian Music Prize shortlist was also revealed this week. The winner of this prestigious award is awarded $30,000 plus promotion on some major media outlets. We reveal the nine shortlisted artists and play tracks from a few of them.

Bertie Blackman — Secrets and Lies

Lucie Thorne — Black Accross the Field

The boys also discussed the SLAM (Save Live Australian Music) Rally, taking place in the city on February 23rd. The campaign challenges the Victorian Government's new liquor licensing laws which are forcing the closure of some of Victoria's small live music venues.

Episode 28: February 9

Oooooh supersensual indeed! We caught up with Sound Museum favourite, the beautiful and multi-talented Natalie Bassingthwaighte.

2010 looks to be another big year for the Bass with a swag of different projects under her belt. She is currently hosting the third season of So You Think You Can Dance, will star in the new Underbelly series The Golden Mile, and has just released a brand new single titled "Love Like This".

The track is the fifth single from her #1 album 1000 Stars and is the official anthem for the Wear It With Pride. The campaign aims to spread awareness about the recent 85 law reforms favoring same sex couples. For more information, head to the Wear It With Pride official website.



The single is available at digital retailers only. A 6 track EP for only $2.49 - not only is it amazing value, but all proceeds go towards LGBT causes. So what are you waiting for? Click here to purchase the EP off iTunes now.


We also went through the Top 20 Worst Pop Stars of All Time, according to Virgin Media. And who makes the top of the list? Poor Peter Andre! Nice abs...shame about the music.
