Sky High
Sky high or Sky fall?
The sky can prompt a wide range of feelings and moods. The brilliance of a clear day - to the sombre tones of an overcast one, is a mirror of the kaleidoscope of human nature.
Music inspired by a stormy sky can sound like turmoil or conflict, using dynamic and dissonant elements to convey tension. On the other hand, a composition inspired by a serene, open sky might sound peaceful and harmonious. A lullaby rather than a hullabaloo..
This week, we explore both sides of the musical sky..

Graduating from Oxford
Oxford became a breeding ground for influential indie and alternative bands during the 80s and 90s.

In 2005 Brighton Institute of Modern Music (BIMM) put out a compilation of student bands called 'How to Mend a Broken Pier'. On it was a band called Supersmile led by Simon Kaye. I think we may have tracked down Simon to Melbourne and have included a 2018 track from him. There's a 1966 band called Monks who literally created holes in their hair. There's a track from Lady Blackbird - in the highest echelon of soul singers in the world. And what is the link between Galaxy and Baby-D? This will end. But not until 7pm..
Hour One

Being Brave
Noteveryone wants to be brave – and that’s OK. If you feel better b eing vulnerable or seeking support when faced with challenges, that's fine. Being brave is not compulsory; it's a personal choice. People have different coping mechanisms, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach to handling life's ups and downs. Ultimately, the key is to be true to yourself, try to avoid any regrets and just let the music play..

Music Manifesto
There was a time when bands made as many manifestos as they made records.
A manifesto is what you want to change in the world through your art.
Music isn’t just about how to write a song, it’s about making a cultural impact. Manifestos have the power to spark whole movements, provoke social change, and cause revolutions that change our vision of art, music and beyond.
They can predict the future. They can re-set the past..
These are some of my favourite music manifestos. Have you thought what yours could be?

Reach Out
There are people in our lives who stand by us, offer support in times of need, and celebrate our successes. Friends are the ones who lend a listening ear when we need to vent, offer a shoulder to lean on during tough times, and share in our joys and sorrows. This absolute support and trust in one another makes the world a brighter and more secure place. Knowing that our friends will always be there for us is a comforting reminder that we're not alone as we walk the sometimes lonely road of life.
Let's play some great songs written about this.

Dreams escaping from Towers

Carried by the Wind
Throughout the globe, both wind and our words can either connect people or send them fleeing for physical or emotional safety. They can comfort or devastate.
Whether a gentle ocean breeze or healthy gale, a strong storm or destructive hurricane—the wind is simply the movement of air from high to low pressure due to differences in air temperature.
But it is so much more.

State of Independence
After Bastille Day on Friday and its rallying cry, ‘Liberté, égalité, fraternité, we sometimes forget that true independence is all three of these qualities, not one. The hermit’s cave on the mountain may look independent, but is a little bleak. When the head of an indie label signs an act it means that they have committed to them 100%.
When an artist signs, they are choosing a community that believes in them and are in for the long haul.We need people who understand us. Who treat us as equals. Whose trust in us gives us real freedom.
Today we play music that understands that real freedom is found in the company of others.
This week a playlist that celebrates both independence and artistic community.
