Handclaps & Harmonies

9 Jul 2013

Handclaps & Harmonies first show – Sunday 7 July

Uncategorized

Interesting times being back on air and on my own for the first time. I hope you enjoyed week one of Handclaps and Harmonies. Really my whole aim is to play you some interesting indie pop, strummy lala and plinky lala tracks to soundtrack your Sunday mornings.

Quick definitions

Strummy lala = songs that are primarily acoustic guitar and a singer/ songwriter.

Plinky lala = see above except a piano replaces an acoustic guitar.

My Music Pick of The Week

Back when I was co-hosting Diff’rent Strokes with Dave we would take turns to pick a song for the week. I decided to carry that segment over to Handclaps and Harmonies. My pick of the week for July 7 is The Melodic and their song ‘On My Way.’ It comes from their EP of the same name. You definitely should check out the whole EP it’s amazing.

I played a bunch of other songs that I’ve listed below. If you’ve got recommendations for me email me: handclapsandharmonies@joy.org.au or send me a tweet @handclapsonJOY

Then and Now

Every week I’ll also be trying to play two tracks by artists who have been around for some time. It’s a good chance to hear how an artist has or hasn’t changed over their careers. This week I played two tracks by Franz Ferdinand.

Franz Ferdinand – Michael
