Playlist for show number 15 - 25 April 2012 plus tribute to Greg Ham

Today Stibbard-me-Timbers show played tribute to Greg Ham from Men At Work who sadly left us last Thursday 19 April. We played 2 songs from the Business As Usual album which was a major success overseas especially in the US. It was the only in Australian History that an Australian music act have achieved both a number 1 album and number 1 single in the US simultaneously. Men At Work have sold 30 million copies from the 3 albums they produced, the other 2 being 'Cargo' and 'Two Hearts'. Men At Work split up in 1985 when Greg Ham left the band. It was sad that the release of "Down Under" which was number 1 in the US for 5 weeks recorded in 1981 became the subject of a copyright law case initiated by a Publishing company as late as 2002 where they purchased the rights of 'Kookaburra'. Kookaburra was written for a competition held by the Girl Guides in 1935.

Given that the case wasn't initiated until 2002, I question the reason it was initiated in the first place when this song, with the flute riff, had been made public for 2 decades. It is my opinion which I also believe are held by a majority of musicians that it was unfortunate that this case be initiated and most musicians I know thought that the result of this case was bad.

In introducing playing Down Under I announced on radio
"Greg Ham, If you are there upstairs, this riff was yours"

Here is the playlist for show number 15 - 25 April 2012:

1. Helpless Automaton - Men At Work (A song written by Greg Ham, Tribute)
2. Groove Merchant - Jakksen Fish (Live In The Studio)
3. End Of Transmission - Jakksen Fish (Live In The Studio)
4. Bandido - Jakksen Fish (CD)
5. Sanity - Jakksen Fish (Live In The Studio)
6. Devil In The Woods - Jakksen Fish (CD)
7. Put A Face To Your Name - Anna Paddick
8. Monkeys Taking Over The Zoo - Sunset Blush
9. On My Mind - Laura Clarke
10. Down Under - Men At Work
11. Fallen - Beth King And The Hemingway Collective
12. Live Like An Afghan - Fred Smith
13. Mercy, I Don't Want Any More - Joe Forrester
14. One More Jesus - Giles David Field

3MDR Community Radio Adventure 21 March 2012 by Joel Stibbard

I first got the idea of writing a blog for community stations I had visited when asked to appear on The Dotted Line on 3MDR out at Emerald.  Since then I have seeked other community radio stations around Victoria to see if I could visit them on day trips.

3MDR (Mountain District Radio) was a station I appeared on whilst recovering from an injury to my finger.  Located in Emerald, about 15 minutes from Belgrave in Melbourne's outer Eastern suburbs I was welcomed by Michelle who does a show there every Wednesday night at 9pm to 11pm.  She offered to cut the show short though so she could drop me back at Belgrave Station in time to catch the last train in which was 11:09pm, that adventure I'll tell you about later.

She was kind enough to play 6 songs from our album 'Music For Frustrated Ornithologists' and I dropped off a couple of copies to the station so they can feature it further.  We talked about the wonder of Birdwatching, walking and discovering nature in which Emerald is a place that reflects all these things.  I met her the month before at the Sustainable Living Festival where I had played a 50 minute set.

It was on the 21st of March that I had visited Emerald, still basking in the feeling of releasing the album at Wesley Anne 5 days earlier, I was buzzing as we talked about all things bird related as well as all things music related.  3MDR is a humble studio as part of Emerald Hall and they were happy to give me a few free stickers which I now have on my Guitar case.

I really enjoyed the experience out bush for the day and hope to visit again.

On my way back though I was panicking as I was relying heavily on Public Transport.  Getting there by two trains and a bus from the Northern Suburbs of Melbourne to Emerald was ok during the early afternoon but when it came to travel back I was fully aware of how possible it could've been that I'd miss the last public transport back from the City heading north.  I jumped on the Train at Belgrave and caught the train that said it would stop at Ringwood and to change trains.  As it turned out, It was the train that went to Flinders St but as it went past Glenferrie, I looked at the tram timetable on my iPhone to discover the last tram was leaving Collins St in 15 minutes.  I got in to Flinders St with 6 minutes to get to Collins St so made it by 2 minutes but it still had me worried all the way in.

As it turned out, it was a lovely day that I got to spend out in the bush with locals and 3MDR made me feel really welcome, just like Community Radio Stations are meant to do, hence the emphasis being on Community.

'In My Dreams' - Rezzalp CD review

'In My Dreams' - Rezzalp CD review

This album by Rezzalp, a 4 piece featuring all 4 Plazzer Sisters (Bridget, Helena, Maryanne and Suzanne), is a blend of Classical Vocal, Piano and Violin, Jazz, Pop with sections of Techno beats.  It's a very wordy album tells many stories including trying to get the right kind of man.

The opening song 'In My Dreams' is a tale of what is real and what is in the mind.  "In My Dreams the people are real" lends itself to the opposite, to what is unreal.  The lyrics are very visual, you can tell these 4 sisters are very well musically trained.

The two stand out tracks to me are Track 6 'Weary Night' and Track 7 'Overboard'.  Both feature film clips which you can watch from their website.

'Weary Night' stands out on this album as it features just double tracked Banjo and Vocals.  The simplicity is its strength on an otherwise very orchestrated produced album.  The film clip features all 4 sisters and 3 white kittens navigating a maze.

'Overboard' is the obvious single on the album, a pop song with a quirky bridge in 7/4 timing, it is reminiscent of Split Enz and their piano break in 'Six Months In A Leaky Boat'.  The film clip features all 4 sisters on a fishing boat.  I better not tell you more so you watch the film clip.

Overall this is a very interesting 10 track album.  Rezzalp definitely offer something different in a world where a lot of music these days sound the same.

Xani Kolac from The Twoks joined us in the studio at North West FM - 15 February

Xani Kolac (pictured) from The Twoks joined us in the studio at North West FM - 15 February 2012.

Off air Xani lets us know that she really enjoys visiting little community radio stations like North West FM, it is a bit like that at North West FM, people volunteering time to bring music and spoken word to an audience and her appreciation is shown on air as well.

Tim opens the synopsis by describing Xani as the Jimi Hendrix of the fiddle, the laughs just started there...

Xani takes us for a ride into her experiences at the Edinburgh fringe festival as a musical performer for a full month playing a few shows each week to a great response as well as spending time in the Canadian Rocky Mountains for 3 months in Banff living in a Hut surrounded by snow where they have a Creative Inspiring Centre which gave her inspiration to write The Twoks first EP and especially track 4 on it 'Northern Lights'.

This creative centre in Banff is available to artists, musicians, dancers and even mathematicians.  They also have classes where you can learn more about the arts from others around you, being mentors or professional development lecturers.  She also tells us about life in the Hut sometimes being homesick and feeling isolated but then as she got to know the people, she saw how supportive they were - they were all artists in the same boat.

She talks further about the review culture at the Edinburgh fringe festival giving us an example of a four star review and about peoples' desire to get reviewed at Edinburgh.  Tim aludes us to one of their reviews whose only criticism was that there weren't enough people in the crowd.

She gives us an insight into classical music, Irish fiddle music and Jazz which she has studied at the VCA in Melbourne, moving away in the end from classical music for her desire to write her own and jump into the original music scene here in Melbourne.

We also had some fun on other topics like talking about sunglasses with nose-pieces missing and Joel mentioned that cheese was needed once when he was $3 short.  We find that this change of subject away from music and about life usually provides some laughter.

She then plays a stripped down version of a song live called 'Do What I Want' which will feature on the next album, adding off the cuff percussion and getting our foots tapping with her strumming Violin style.  I know Tim and I can't wait for the album!

Finally we addressed some issues about film and whether The Twoks' music would be used in film.  We addressed some of the advantages and disadvantages of musicians using their music in film, TV and advertising.  Xani explains that if her music was to be used in film alongside bandmate Mark Leahy then it would happen without intention, I'm sure it would be a good opportunity.

With this amazingly original band, you can only imagine what is ahead for them!

1 February 2012 - Transcript talking about Referendum for Constitutional change in 2013

This is a transcript which was delivered on the Stibbard-me-Timbers show on the 1st of February relating to the constitutional referendum happening in 2013.  We spent about 5 minutes 40 seconds talking about it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Joel) - Well I've been doing a bit of research and looked into the referendum that is going to be held next year and it's on Aboriginal representation in the constitution which is missing and I'll read out a couple of sections from it which got me really alarmed and section 25 of our constitution says 

For the purpose of the last section which basically describes the voting rights of people one person per vote idea and with a minimum of 5 seats for any State.  Basically it says for the purpose of that section which is Section 24:

"If by law of any State all persons of any State are disqualified from voting at elections for the more numerous House of the Parliament of the State, then, in reckoning the number of the people of the State or the Commonwealth, persons of the race resident in that State should not be counted."

So basically it's saying that under the current part of the Constitution there's a provision in there that can actually discount votes being counted on the basis of race.  

And then there's another section, Section 51 which is Legislative Powers of the Parliament:

"The Parliament shall, subject to the Constitution, have power to make laws for the peace, order, and good government of the Commonwealth with respect to:-

(Sub-Section 26) The People of any race, for whom it is deemed necessary to make special laws."

So basically what this referendum is going to do is allow us to put a cross through those sections which are basically in my opinion deemed (when they had wrote the constitution at the beginning of federation in 1901)

(Tim) - Very Very Old

(Joel) - It is, it's quite antiquated so basically I'm saying that since that's been written we've had a referendum in 1967 to recognise Aborigines in our Census and since then we've had Malcolm Fraser welcome refugees into Australia when he was Prime Minister as well as the Mabo and Wik High Court decisions in the late 80's and early 90's so basically it's showing that we've moved on from there and you know to count any race could also mean not just Aboriginal races, it could mean any race that's not Caucasian.  So anyway I thought I'd mention that on radio and …  We've also of course had Sorry Day which was delivered by Kevin Rudd in 2008 and I think, you know, making our next step is to put the line through these sections in the Constitution.

So anyway, if you are interested you can find out more by visiting a website www.YouMeUnity.org.au (http://www.youmeunity.org.au/) and you can get involved in the conversation there if it's something that interests you.  It is something that interests me.

(Tim) - So it's good of you to open the door so people can go on to the website now and really get involved.

(Joel) - And yeah, and have a look at our whole constitution which is going to have the opportunity of being looked at and so spread the word around and educate yourself and share with your friends and get the discussion happening.

(Tim) - Well we do live in a democracy which is based on people's voices and nothing's going to get changed if nobody says anything.

(Joel) - That's it. 

(Tim) - So we need to speak up about these things and we need to be as educated as we possibly can. And I need to read up about it because I'm passionate about that kind of thing as well.

(Joel) - Yes I think it's just a good time to get the discussion happening now and with a view to get a question up and it's hard, you need a lot of support, you need support from both major political parties on the issue because they don't get passed unless you get bi-partisan support.  Only 8 of 44 (referenda) have been passed so I think it's a good time to get the discussion happening.

And on that related topic, I thought I'd play a Yothu Yindi song. This is from the early 90's, it's called Treaty.
