Our 51st show was another BIG show. Special thanks to Anthony Callea for coming in and sharing some time with us.
We opened the show this week with a band, not yet released in Australia, but sourced instead from Jay's secret source, straight out of SonyBMG in London (thanks Phillippa).
The band are The Hoosiers, their debut album was released in the UK earlier this year and their sound is reminiscent of The Cure and Jeff Buckley. They describe their sound themselves as "odd pop".
Track 1: Worried about Ray
Track 2: Goodbye Mr A
Track 3: Worst Case Scenario
Track 4: Cops and Robbers
Hope you enjoyed this peek into the london music scene.
Next up, joining us in the studio... A man who at only 25 years of age has some pretty big acheivements under his belt. He is an ARIA award winning singer, his debut single, a cover of a duet originally performed by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli, was released in December 2004 and became Australia's fastest and highest single of all time, going 4 times platinum. A man who has toured with popular music greats such as Celine Dion and Diana Ross and whow recently has been trying his hand very successfully at stage performance. He is of course playing Boq in the amazing Melbourne production of Wicked.
Anthony Callea shared a number of great stories with us and also his genuine admiration for a couple of biggies of popular music in the last 3 decades, Elton John and George Michael. He brought to us his favorite selection of George Michael songs - a great selection.
Track 1: Amazing
Track 2: As
Track 3: I Can't Make You Love Me
Track 4: Don't let the sun go down on me (with Elton John)
If you want to hear what Anthony had to say, you can listen to the podcast. 
A big THANK YOU goes out to Anthony for joining us tonight!
Next, we took a look at the ARIA charts for the week. We've been seeing "Get Shaky" by the Ian Carey project prominent in the Dance and club lists for week after week after week. This week it has entered the Singles charts at number 31. Interestingly JOY added it to the daytime playlists, way back on September 15! And we had a quick listen.
Next up, the Fine Young Cannibals.
Track 1: Suspicious Minds
Track 2: Johhny Come Home
Track 3: Good Thing
Track 4: She Drives Me Crazy
And Finally tonight.. The Carpenters

Track 2: We've only just begun
Track 3: Top of the World
Track 4: Rainy Days and Mondays
We hope you enjoyed another big show. Have a great week.
Jay and Chris
