Michael McMartin, the late, great artist manager who guided the career of Hoodoo Gurus for more than 40 years, was a big champion for Australian music. One policy he, and Hoodoo Gurus live engineer and Coastie Marshall Cullen pushed for was that an Australian must support touring bands in Australia.



Now, a music body is pushing for policies to be adopted to help support the Australian music scene in its darkest of days, with the initiative known as 'Michael's Rule'.

The full recording (minus songs) of our final ever radio show on Coast FM 96.3, broadcast on the 15/04/2024.

Eamonn comes to us from Hayman Island this week. But, the week prior, he was down in Victoria at Pitch Festival, which was ultimately cancelled due to a fire danger and extreme temperatures.



The cancellation has raised a number of questions in relation to patron safety, insurance payouts, and who should ultimately make that call.



Eamonn shares his experiences, and Cam gets his thoughts on last week's news topic - Spotify adding music videos.

Spotify is officially adding support for music videos. The audio streaming service describes the feature as a “beta” with only a “limited catalog” available as of today in 11 markets. Supported artists include Ed Sheeran, Doja Cat, Ice Spice, Aluna, and Asake, with Spotify’s global head of consumer experience Sten Garmark saying that Spotify’s full music video catalog will eventually include “thousands” of songs.
The music video feature is accessible via the Now Playing screen on supported tracks, where a “Switch to Video” icon will appear above the song title. Tapping it will restart the song, and start playing its music video in the centre of the display. You can rotate an iOS or Android device to play the music video fullscreen, and tap “Switch to Audio” to return to the more traditional Now Playing interface.
The feature is currently available in a limited number of markets; the UK, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Brazil, Colombia, Philippines, Indonesia, and Kenya. Garmark says these markets were chosen “based on a number of criteria including market size and the availability of local content support.”
As well as iOS and Android, Spotify says the music videos feature is also available on desktop and TV devices. You’ll need to have a Premium subscription to watch them.
This feels like a natural progression for Spotify, after expanding to video podcasts and audiobooks in recent years.
