Welcome to the Four Play program highlights for 2nd September, 2008.
After Chris took time off from last weeks program to go report on the Sneaky Sound System concert at QBH (someone had to do it!), we thought bringing you the best four songs of the new album '2' would be the best way to convert a few more of you over to being fans of these great independent Australian talent! Given everyone has heard "Kansas City" we gave you an opportunity to listen to four other songs off the new album, which debuted at number one on the ARIA charts, last week.
Track 1 : It's Not My Problem
Track 2 : 16
Track 3: Lost in The Future
Track 4: I Want Everything
That last track is rumoured to be the next single off the album, but we will have to wait and see on that one, but also of note, the song "I Want Everything" was originally offered to Kylie Minogue as Sneaky's contribution to her album X. She should have used it!
Our featured guest set tonight came from special guest, Liam. He came to the show with an aim to increase the camp level of the guest sets, which he ably acheived, by bringing us the best of Mel & Kim / Kim Appleby. Liam took us through Mel's sad and early passing, as well as all the goss on what those hats were all about! As well, did you know, Kim's one-time boyfriend. Craig Logan of Bros fame, was also Danni Minogue's one time fiance?
Track 1: Showing Out
Track 2: Respectable
Track 3: Don't Worry
Track 4: Light Of The World
To hear what Liam had to say, Go to the podcast.
The next set for the evening, we featured Billy Joel - A man who has been on the pop scene around the world since the early '70's. We noted that in a farewell concert in 1999, Billy performed for four hours straight. We agreed a Four Play was ok, Four hours was probably a little too much Billy!
Track 1: Piano Man
Track 2: For the Longest Time
Track 3: We Didn't Start the Fire
Track 4: River of Dreams
The final set for the night was Duran Duran. One of the most successful "New Romantic" bands of the eighties, out of the UK, who have never disbanded and are still touring and releasing albums.
Track 1: Planet Earth
Track 2: Hungry Like the Wolf
Track 3: Girls on Film
Track 4: (Reach up for the) Sunrise
That last track was the Jason Nevins remix - which was from 2004 and featured on the "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" soundtrack album. The Queer Eye team described Duran Duran as the first "metrosexuals".
Thanks for listening to Four Play on JOY 94.9 and don't forget to tune in again, next Tuesday night at 9pm when our special guest will be Michy, and she'll be showcasing the artist Mark Ronson.
Look forward to having you all there!
Jay and Chris
