Wood / Would

Tonight on A Mixed Bag with Chris B on 93.7 Edge FM, our theme was wood / would, so we heard lots of songs with the word "wood" in the title, or a song (or a band) with a type of timber in the title or the lyrics - the band Redgum, the song The man from Ironbark etc.. Also a few songs with the word "would" in the title.

We also heard an interview with Chris McGill from Narooma Boats Afloat, who talked about the Wooden Boats Festival coming up in Narooma later in the year.  To listen to the short interview, click on the link below, and check out the photo I took at the Narooma Boat Festival in 2012.

Tonight on A Mixed Bag with Chris B, on 93.7 Edge FM, your community radio station in the Bega Valley, our theme was "The Carpenters".  We played lots of songs from Richard and Karen Carpenter, songs you know really well and love to sing along to, including "Sing", (They long to be) close to you, Rainy days and Mondays, Calling occupants and many more.  It was quite a contrast to the Nick Cave theme last week.
As well as all the Carpenters hits, we also played "If I were a carpenter" the Johnny Cash and June Carter-Cash version of that song into the mix, and a couple of songs from "If I were a carpenter", an album of covers of Carpenters songs by various artists.

Don't forget that the Regional Achievement & Community Awards nominations close on Thursday 31st July 2014, so you still have time to nominate and reward some regional achievers.  To find out more about you can listen to an interview with Teesha Cupples, Director of the Regional Achievement & Community Awards.

NIck Cave theme

Last night on "A Mixed Bag with Chris B", our theme was Nick Cave, an Australian icon, a prolific lyricist, a screen writer, an author, and lead singer of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.  Nick Cave appears to be a family man who leads a "normal" life, happily involved in the lives of his wife and children (twin boys to Susie Bick) a son to Viviane Carneiro, another son to Beau Lazenby.  On the other side of the coin, Nick Cave has created an imaginary world through his writings, a world that is dark, has dark characters, many biblical references and themes of loyalty, betrayal, justice, revenge, and even love.

We looked at fashion through the ages, talked about influential fashion designers, and played fashion related music.
We also touched on the subject of Eating Disorders, and looked at how the media and the fashion world can influence women and their body image by presenting images of extremely thin models.

The Butterfly Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation which provides support for people with eating disorders.  Please click on the link below to hear our interview from tonight's show.
