Playlist: Songs My Mother Taught Me

Last weekend I played some records down at the Southern Cross. I was searching for a Mother’s Day theme (being that it was Mother’s Day). But I didn’t want to have to find songs with mum in the title or all love songs or something too corny – so I decided to pick songs that […]

DJ Setlist: Songs My Mother Taught Me – Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 10, 2015

Mother’s Day – my first time playing records down at The Southern Cross as part of their regular weekend entertainment. I figured I’d play records I inherited/first heard via my mum – so that was the theme. And it was a fun round, from 3pm-6pm down at The Cross. Hope to play there again sometime… […]

Ben & Ellen Harper: Childhood Home

Ben & Ellen Harper Childhood Home Prestige Folklore I should, in theory, loathe this. For a start it features Ben Harper. And, in this set of songs with his mother, timed for a Mother’s Day release, you just have to smell that familiar whiff of bullshit. I’ve been calling this charlatan out for years. Kinda […]
