ep. 733 - Translation Breakdown: 🌍⚡️ 60s Covers Gone Wild
You’ve heard the hits, but have you heard them through the ears of 1960s garage bands from Italy, Spain, Greece, New Zealand, Spain and Uruguay? We’ve scoured the international underground to bring you the wildest, raunchiest, and most obscure cover versions of 60s classics. We’re talking about local bands from every corner of the globe taking familiar melodies and putting them through the "garage filter"—resulting in something entirely new, undeniably raw, and often unrecognizable. Grab your passport and tune in to the chaos! Full playlist always posted via Retrospect 60s Garage Punk Show on Facebook and Insta. Retrospect is created by Phil Grey at Free FM 89.0 [Kirikiriroa/Hamilton, NZ].

A Sonic Youth ep 243 - Nada Surf, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Oliver Tree
Some 243 episodes later, Oliver looks back at the album that started it all! It's Nada Surf's punky 1996 debut 'High/Low' on its 30th birthday. Led by the iconic 'Popular', this is an album which Oliver thinks strikes a middle ground between the brands of noise rock heard from Pixies and Husker Du. Plus, a tribute to one of the most iconic neo-psych songs, released on the same day as 'High/Low' in 1996, and a tribute to the late Oliver Tree. Tracklist: Nada Surf - Treehouse The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Anenome Nada Surf - Popular Nada Surf - Psychic Caramel Nada Surf - Deeper Well Oliver Tree - Welcome to LA Follow @asonicyouthpodcast on Insta and Facebook. This show is part of the Free FM 89.0 YOUTH ZONE. Made with support of NZ on Air.

Back Porch Bluegrass Show - 16-06-2026
This episode of Back Porch Bluegrass has a ‘country-ish’ feel to it, with several songs taken from the country music genre. But bluegrass has always borrowed songs from other genres, and it makes for interesting listening. Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road, Special Consensus, Del McCoury and the Hamilton County Bluegrass Band all feature such songs. Of course, we have some bluegrass classics from Dudley Connell & Don Rigsby, the Stanley Brothers, and Blue Highway, and some old-timey fiddling from the Iron Leg Boys. An eclectic mix!

Echoes of Dissent
Guitar-wielding prophets protest; war benefits only the dealers, poverty is the over-populated flip-side of greed, discrimination stuns the defenceless into silence, Mother Earth gasps.

What does it say for us today? At times we will be challenged, disturbed, unsettled. Please join us.
