    Plas Johnson, Free Bluegrass and Christopher Nolan’s Trojan Horse

    The episode opens with the passing of saxophonist Plas Johnson, 94, a player whose name might not mean much outside musician circles but whose sound is embedded in popular culture.  Johnson’s cool, slinking work on Henry Mancini’s Pink Panther theme is his best-known contribution, but the wider CV is properly formidable: Frank Sinatra, B.B. King, Joni Mitchell, Marvin Gaye, The Beach Boys, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville all appear on the roll call. how Links Henry Mancini - The Pink Panther Theme (Official Audio)  Plas Johnson - I Hadn't Anyone Till You  Plas Johnson obit in Rolling Stone  Dr John Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya  Tom Waits - "Heartattack And Vine"  Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival website Silo — Season 3 Official Trailer | Apple TV  Evolver 62 | Official Trailer | The Beatles’ Breakthrough Year That Changed Music Forever | Out Now!  EVOLVER:62 Beatles and cakes in the village hall  The Odyssey - Official 'Completely in IMAX' Behind the Scenes Clip (2026) Othello, The Black Commando 1982 full movie Max H.

    Ep 32: A new Stones record, remembering Sam and Bob Dylan’s guitarist carousel

    There are few things more reliable in popular culture than a World Cup penalty shootout inspiring arguments about fairness, a Rolling Stones album being handled carefully, or Bob Dylan inspiring precisely no usable information from anyone who has worked with him. Episode 32 of On The Record with Brian Wise and Michael Mackenzie covers all three, plus a handy mid-year listening list, a salute to two much-loved cultural figures, and Daniel Lanois production lore.

    Ep 31: Spielberg’s Aliens, Icelandic Jazz and a Thousand Gramophones

    Episode 31 of On The Record ranges from Spielberg’s latest extraterrestrial spectacle to Icelandic cocktail jazz, via Australian festival programming, political songwriting, BBC football commentary and the fragile magic of shellac records.  It is a wide-ranging conversation, but not a random one. Beneath the digressions sits a recurring question: what makes art endure when fashion, technology and attention spans keep moving on?

    Hourly Daily Turns 30: Tim Rogers looks back without living in the past

    There are plenty of artists happy to spend their careers polishing yesterday's trophies. Tim Rogers isn't one of them. Appearing on Episode 30 of On The Record with Brian Wise and Michael Mackenzie, the You Am I frontman could easily have spent an hour reminiscing about the band's landmark 1996 album Hourly Daily, now celebrating its 30th anniversary.  Instead, Rogers repeatedly steers the conversation back towards what comes next. That restless curiosity becomes the defining thread running through one of the podcast's most engaging interviews.

    Neil Young, James Joyce and The Big Lebowski: Andy White's wonderfully unpredictable road trip

    Now and then, On The Record with Brian Wise and Michael Mackenzie wanders into territory that feels less like a podcast and more like the best conversation you've accidentally joined in the corner of a music festival bar. Returning Australian listeners may be forgiven for assuming Neil Young devotees are a niche tribe. Not so, according to Belfast singer-songwriter Andy White, who drops in from Ireland with a story that sounds almost too good to be true. Show Notes Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts - Cortez the Killer (Bergen, Norway, 20.06.2025)  Andy White The Walking Wounded  Andy White - Empty Streets of Florence / nelle strade deserte di Firenze  Jack Kerouac on the Steve Allen Show, in 1959, reciting a passage from "On The Road."  David Holmes - Ruben's In OST Oceans 11  Joni Mitchell - Blue (Full Album) [Official Video]  Joni Mitchell- Dog Eat Dog  Prince - A Case Of U  The Big Lebowski - Gutterballs  Andy's website  Andy's books  Andy's podcast

    From Kefalonia to California: Earth, Wind & Fire, World Cup Fever, and Bob Dylan’s wisdom at 80

    Episode 28 of On The Record finds Michael broadcasting from the Greek island of Kefalonia, but the conversation itself travels much further afield—from the cosmic ambitions of Earth, Wind & Fire to Tim Rogers, the World Cup and the lyrical reflections of Bob Dylan on being 80.

    The Charts Are Broken, Wilco Is Pricey, and Squeeze Still Don’t Like Each Other (But the Songs Hold Up)

    This week’s On The Record with Brian Wise and Michael Mackenzie begins where most music chats don’t: with a gripe about what the ARIA charts don’t show. Wise is baffled that Emma Donovan’s Take Me to The River—an album he rates highly after seeing her preview it live at Port Fairy—can’t be found on the main chart or the Australian chart.  The question isn’t aesthetic; it’s structural. Where do “successful” albums live now—physical sales, streaming equivalents, store reporting, some opaque blend of all three? Show Notes Emma Donovan — Take Me to The River (and the ARIA chart mystery) The revived Rhythms Chart (Top 30) World Cup ticketing + dynamic pricing discussion (BBC) Wilco — Morocco/Marrakesh 3-night concept (hotel pricing reality check) Squeeze documentary — Take Me I’m Yours (2012) Listen here to Michael's debut album Oversharing With Strangers Widow’s Bay Trailer (Apple TV) Spider-Noir (Prime Video)

    Ep 26: McCartney Gets Outscored by Ron Sexsmith, Wilco Books Africa, and the Stones' Best Secret Is a Demo

    Episode 26 of On The Record is the first fully international edition—Brian Wise filing from Melbourne, Michael Mackenzie beaming in from the ancient fortified town of Monemvasia, deep inside the Peloponnese. The contrast isn't just geographic: Wise is braving Melbourne winter; Mackenzie is swimming in warm salt water off Byzantine fortress walls.  The hate is, as he cheerfully acknowledges, entirely deserved. Show Notes RN's The Music Show: Miles Davis Centenary  RN's The Music Show: Tribute To Sonny Rollins  The Rolling Stones, Tracks Of My Years, with Vernon Kay  It's Only Rock 'n' Roll - Ronnie Woods original home recording with David Bowie  Ron Sexsmith - Don't Lose Sight (Official Video)  Paul McCartney: 10 tracks defining his life including from Chuck Berry, Elvis, Prince & John Lennon  Wilco Play 3 Nights in Marrakech - go into the comp to win the concert/hotel package  The Boroughs | Official Trailer | Netflix  "Spider-Noir" - Authentic Black & White Final Trailer | Prime Video
