Re: Upcoming guest programmers on rage

ohnoitisnathan
Here's a preview of the Hanson playlist from the blurb on the rage website:

Aerosmith - Falling In Love Is Hard On Your Knees
Taylor Swift - We Are Never Getting Back Together
Foo Fighters - Learn To Fly
Ace Of Base - The Sign
Albert Hammond - Losing Touch
Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten
Beach House - Reflector


Hmmm... what do we think?

'Learn To Fly' gets chosen all the time, and 'The Sign' has had a few airings.


It looks somewhat interesting. As we learned from the 90s special, the preview blurb is probably not the best thing to go by. The rest of the playlist could be really interesting or really bad.

Ain't that the truth!

Re: Upcoming guest programmers on rage

No doubt Katy Perry's video 'Last Friday Night' will be shown as it has a cameo by Hanson performing at Kathy Beth Terry's street backyard party.😃

Re: Upcoming guest programmers on rage

Now here's something really weird about Hanson's playlist... it looks like they only got as far as "D" in the rage red book

The picked 47 videos. 2 of them are pre-"A" (bands with numbers/symbols), 28 of them begin with "A", 9 begin with "B", and 3 begin with "D". Then they thought the better hurry up and picked 1 "E", 2 "F"s, 1 "N" and 1 "T".

That is so bizarre. rage should tell us the back-story

Well-spotted!

While I didn't notice this, I did think something looked a little odd about the layout of the playlist.

Re: Upcoming guest programmers on rage

Haha, it's a big book.

Re: Upcoming guest programmers on rage

It seems that rage are no longer providing the info on upcoming guest programmers in advance to local guides. If they do so again I will post the info on upcoming guest programmers here.

I noticed the other night that no guest programmer or special is specified for this coming weekend yet, though haven't checked again today.

Re: Upcoming guest programmers on rage

Who is Steve Lucas?

Re: Upcoming guest programmers on rage

Steve Lucas seems to be from a 70s Australian punk rock band called X. I am not familiar with him or his work either.

They programmed a couple of years ago if I remember correctly. I definitely remember a section of their videos appearing on a Saturday night, anyway.

Yes GangGajang guest programmed on 7 May 2016. Rage would not bring back a guest programmer so soon. Usually it's about 20 years between GP gigs.

Re: Upcoming guest programmers on rage

Finally an artist i have actually heard a song from prior to their stint on the (in) Famous Red Couch!

Saturday 30th September - Died Pretty

I was so pleased that Died Pretty finally guest programmed (although Ron Peno is a bit of a rambler and a lot of his music selections were not to my taste) but there were 3 videos from DP I had never seen before - Towers Of Strength, Out Of My Hands and a second version of Headaround (the '1 take' version) which I had never seen. The version I have seen is this one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztBuRjOJNmU

It's funny how after a long period of DC being about the only Died Pretty song getting an airing on rage, in recent months Winterland, Sweetheart and True Fools Fall have all been shown 2 to 3 times.

Wow, so much for Aus music month lasting the whole month

Not that I mind, really, as they tend to play the same sort of stuff every year, although they have in the past had some interesting guest programmers on they probably otherwise wouldn't have had (Tina Arena, Mental As Anything); but not this year.

Re: Upcoming guest programmers on rage

Daryl Braithwaite is guest programming this coming weekend.

Re: Upcoming guest programmers on rage

With that selection it is beginning to feel a lot like Countdown is in the air, and not that far away from the anniversary of the first time he hosted the show as well.

Re: Upcoming guest programmers on rage

Daryl is now being inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame last night. Congrulations to him.

^ Which VHS is that, Michael? I see an 'Edge' VHS on eBay currently, with live tracks followed by 4 videos. Was there one for the 'Rise' album, too? The only videos from those albums I don't have though, if they exist, are 'Sugar Train' and 'Nothing To Lose'. Do you have videos for those?

Re: Upcoming guest programmers on rage

Hi Nathan, it is titled 'As The Days Go By - The Video Collection'. I picked it up at Cash Converters about 5 years ago. It has 5 videos from 'Edge' and 4 from 'Rise'. It starts with 'Don't Hold Back Your Love and ends with As The Days Go By'. It doesn't have 'Nothing To Lose'.
