Living in the 70s

Were you born in the Seventies? Join us for the sounds of the 70s every Saturday morning. Martin and Venetia will take you to the decade of denim flares, burnt orange kitchen benchtops and the birth of disco and glam rock! Each week we'll have a 70's theme that we'll explore, such as songs from disaster movies, movement anthems, one-hit wonders, daggy duets, funky numbers, and disco tracks that steamed up the dance floor in many an LGBTI venue, to name just a few. The 70s produced some amazing music and we're here to make sure that music is shared and never lost. NOTE: Due to music licencing requirements this podcast is unavailable outside of Australia.

    Soulful sounds

    Soul – one of the great musical genres to come out of mid 20th Century America, and a sound that still reverberates through pop music today.  Sharing it’s gospel roots with jazz, funk, blues and even rock, soul can be a hard genre to draw a neat boundary around, but it’s one of those things that you know it when you hear it.  Tending to favour virtuoso vocals, horns, rhythm sections at the forefront and a passionate feel, soul was the secular sibling to gospel and originally exclusively performed by African American artists. But many white artists from around the globe who grew up loving soul, started incorporating a soul feel into their sound. This week’s show explores just a few of these soul influenced  tracks.

    Countdown Anniversary

    Fifty years ago, on November 8, 1974, the first episode of Countdown went to air on the ABC. It would go on to have many Australians glued to their TVs for an hour a week, getting their dose of Australian and international pop music news, performances and interviews for the next 13 years. The impact of Countdown on Australian music culture cannot be overstated. It was an institution, a cultural phenomenon, and it helped to shape the musical landscape of a whole generation – a generation which included the hosts of this show. This week’s show celebrates the 50 year anniversary of Countdown’s first airing, featuring artists that performed during the Seventies.

    We’re a bit picky

    This week our hosts are taking a break from the themes and just picking a few tracks they feel like playing. As usual, it’s an eclectic but tasty mix. Some we’ve played before, some entirely new. But all guaranteed to satisfy even the pickiest Seventies connoisseur. Enjoy

    Super Seventies

    We’re super excited! This week we explore superb, superior, supreme Seventies songs with super either in the title or in the name of the artists. Why? Well, because it’s super fun. And we’ve certainly found some super tracks.  Proving, once again, that there is no decade like the Seventies for truly super music.

    Seventies covers of Seventies songs

    Long live the cover version! Sometimes other artists do it better, sometimes they just do it differently, but it’s always interesting to hear a great song reinterpreted.  In the Seventies great cover songs could be released practically on the heels of the original. On this week’s show we explore just a few of these Seventies cover versions that had already been released in the same decade.

    We’re turning five!

    Yes it’s happy birthday, happy anniversary and how-the-heck-is-this-little-show-still-going to us! We have had the enormous pleasure of bringing fabulous Seventies music to you for the past five years.  So this week’s show is all about the number 5 – whether that’s band members, band names or song titles, the number 5 is where it’s at.  Cheers!  And may there be many more.

    Great Debut Albums

    This week we are showcasing tracks from what we consider to be some of the great debut albums of the 1970s.  There are way too many to cover them all in just one show, but we think we’ve put together a great selection, including Patti Smith (or course), The Saints, Skyhooks, Kate Bush and many more.

    Up and down

    Life is full of ups and downs and it turns out that the Seventies music catalogue is as well. In this week’s show, all of our songs feature either up or down in the title, demonstrating that there’s nothing like a bit of turbulence to generate some good lyrics. So let’s get up and dance, get down tonight, give it up and stir it up with some great Seventies tracks.
