Wow – 300 shows. We often talk about how much we have learned about Seventies music since we started doing this show, and also how our musical tastes have gathered both breadth and depth. So to celebrate this milestone, we thought we would share some of the songs that we have discovered along the way that have now become firm favourites. If you have been on this journey with us since our first show, some of these choices may surprise you. I think they would have surprised us.

Lovey dovey
Aaaah love. It makes the world go round, no doubt, and has been the inspiration for songwriters since songwriting first began. Sadly, many of the resulting ditties are less than memorable. Some love songs, however, truly do stand the test of time and are destined to be sung plaintively into a damp pillow, danced to joyfully at weddings or shyly shared in a DM. These are just a few of our hosts favourites from the fabulous Seventies.

Tracks we might have missed
In the Seventies, not all great tracks were released as singles. So if you didn’t buy or borrow a band’s albums, there would be a lot of material that you might never get to hear. On this show, we can sometimes be guilty of playing an artists best known songs – usually single releases – and skipping over plenty of other great tracks. So we thought we would fix this and showcase some lesser known tracks that could only be found deep in the albums. We think we’ve found some bangers.

Dream a little dream
This weeks show is all about dreams. Day dreams, night dreams, wishful thinking and fantasies, these are things all humans experience and of course have provided the inspiration for song writers and story tellers since we first gathered around a fire. So what better theme for a show than songs about dreams.

This podcast rocks!
On this week’s show, Marty and Venetia are getting heavy and rocking it out to explore the music of Seventies rock bands. In honour of the passing of that heavy rock icon, Ozzy Osbourne, the show features two Black Sabbath numbers as well as tracks from other heavyweights such as Aerosmith, AC/DC and Kiss. It’s a blast of a show!

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 bench tops 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.
