GET YOUR GROOVE BACK (aka The Lifters & Leaners Show)

Dare I use the “e” (ecl#$%tic) word to describe the wide-ranging styles of music that you will hear on Get Your Groove Back? You’ll hear Muddy Waters back to back with Ali Farka Toure, Sister Rosetta Tharpe with Johnny Winter, Dya Singh with Rory McLeod. Programs include featured albums, tracks to a theme, particular styles (from blues to world), guests (some of whom actually turn up, some of whom are interesting), film soundtracks and other stuff made up on the spur of the moment. Regular features include music I borrow from the library, instrumentals and music around a moment in history. If your life has a soundtrack, the chances are you’ll hear it on Get Your Groove Back.

* “The dregs of the once all-powerful Liberal Party has made it known …that they plan to drop everything and focus all of their resources and manpower towards ensuring the upcoming referendum for an Indigenous Voice to Parliament is unsuccessful. While the party continues to limp on in the wake of the 2022 federal election bloodbath, and it seems approval ratings for Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and the rest of his colleagues have continued to soar directly downwards. But they’ve got a plan to turn this around! Firstly, by undermining the upcoming referendum – which aims to install a system that might help politicians better understand the very real and immediate social issues facing the Indigenous community.. as more and more high profile figures come out in support of The Indigenous Voice, the Liberals are growing increasingly nervous that this referendum result might be similar to the last 5 or 6 elections in Australia. Where the polls, newspapers and politicians themselves wrongly assumed the Liberals were going to win because they live in a detached bubble of political and media elites. They are also terrified that a successful Indigenous Voice referendum will mean that they have to interact with more than two of them.” [Clancy Overell, Betoota Advocate]
