Your eyes are not deceiving you...

This weekend, at 8pm on Saturday night, there will be a one-off edition of Seasons Of Change, that's leading up to the last ever edition of Seattle & Beyond on PBA-FM with Wardy at 10pm that night. 

There will be a heap of new, Australian music - after all, some time has elapsed since Seasons Of Change last went to air in April this year. New music from here in Adelaide from United Progressive Fraternity and from Matt Goodluck; and of course new releases are due soon from two prominent Adelaide bands which have released songs via social media for promotional purposes. Plus tributes to two talented musicians who passed away in the last few days - Robbie Robertson (gutarist and songwriter with The Band) and David LaFlamme (violinist, lead singer and songwriter with pyschedelic late '60's / early '70's US band It's A Beautiful Day).

This week marks 10 years since the death of Bill Putt, the long-time collaborator with the Aussie music legend Mike Rudd (Spectrum, Ariel and many other projects and collaborations) - in Mike's own words earlier this week:

  • "Bill Putt (or Bilge Pump as Harvey James dubbed him) has been gone for a decade already. 'Jeebers’ as he'd say. For anybody lucky enough to be in his orbit, his acts of kindness, his story-telling, his love of kids and his nutty sense of humour are as legendary as the man himself. He'll be remembered fondly by many for years to come."

Music with pictures...

In advance of their imminent new album, "Seven Chambers", Adelaide band Unitopia has released a couple of videos for songs taken from that album (in an earlier time, these may have taken the form of a "single") - here is one:


Meanwhile, in advance of their imminent new album, "Another World", Adelaide band Southern Empire has also released a video for a song from that album, featuring their new singer Shaun Holton (aka Projected Twin):


And Matt Goodluck has also somehow found time in a doubtless busy schedule to compile a couple of videos to accompany music from his new album - here is one of them:
