Program Highlights for Tuesday 25th November, 2008

We opened the show this week with a track from Duffy called Mercy.

This week our special guest returning to Four Play was Morris. He last showcased Dead or Alive for us, back in June. This time he brought us a real education session on the origins and ongoing influences of the style of music known as "Hi-NRG".

Lots of great info and four fantastic 80's tracks.

Track 1: Do You Wanna Funk - Sylvester
Track 2: So Many Men (So Little Time) - Miquel Brown
Track 3: Native Love - Devine
Track 4: Searchin - Hazell Dean

Thanks to Morris once again for some really informative radio.

If you want to hear what Morris had to say, check out the podcast


Next up, An artist who at only 26 years of age has had some amazing success with his debut album. Not only that but we claim him as Australian, albeit he's really a bit of a citizen of the world and he's also out, gay and proud. He missed out on an ARIA award this year, but picked a year of strong contenders with the likes of Gabriella Cilmi and the Potbelleez.

We are talking about Sam Sparro and we showcased four songs from his self titled album.

Track 1: Black and Gold
Track 2: Cottonmouth
Track 3: Pocket
Track 4: 21st Century Life

Next, we took a look at the ARIA charts for the week. Into the dance charts this week has come a new track from the Presets. We thought we'd have a little listen to their new one "Yippeyo-ay" tonight. Let us know what you thought?

Next up, the Aretha Franklin.

Track 1: I knew you were waiting - Duet with George Michael
Track 2: You make feel
Track 3: Think
Track 4: A Deeper Love


And Finally tonight.. Hall and Oates

Track 1: Rich Girl
Track 2: Kiss on My list
Track 3: Private Eyes
Track 4: I Can't go for That


We hope you enjoyed the final show in the Spring Season. We're not going anywhere though, you'll find us in the same place for the summer season, 9pm - 11pm every Tuesday night!

See you then, and have a great week.

Jay and Chris
