Michele Vescio presents a mix performed by Sebastian Calvo, a multidisciplinary artist whose practice sits at the intersection of music, performance, and experimental sound. They've performed at iconic venues and events across Sydney, Melbourne, and New York, and their collaborations span visual art and choreography, with ongoing projects both locally and internationally.Doom Scroll started as a test mix for Sebastian Calvo’s upcoming EP NOĶŒNTROL, made up mostly of their own tracks. The title comes from a track in the mix, inspired by Sebastian’s own habit of doom-scrolling - something they turned into a cathartic sound piece. This mix reflects a mindset shift offering a layered, introspective journey following their own recovery. For more on Sebastian's work, head to Apple Music, Spotify, or Linktree for a full list of releases, projects, and more. Flourish Australia - supports mental health recovery and disability inclusion. SAMSN (Support After Sexual and Domestic Violence) - supports male survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Doom Scroll (Radio edit) / Sebastian Calvo Pilgrimage (Original Mix) / Svarog Call me (Silent number edit) / Sebastian Calvo Quiet (Junior Vasquez mix) / Zoel Don’t (NoKontrol mix) / Sebastian Calvo Restitimelo (Give it back to me) / Sebastian Calvo Esoteric (Sebastian Calvo edit) / Svarog Donna (Sebastian Calvo extended version) / The Art of Noise Doom Scrolling (Sidebar mix) / Sebastian Calvo  Oxytocin (8.5 Hypnomix) / Sebastian Calvo  Image: Courtesy of Sebastian Calvo, used with permission.

Novelty records, ‘outsider’ music (used particularly in the ‘60s and ‘70s), comedians having a lend, and bona fide musicians doing what it takes to get short-term attention from the media. All intended to shock or amuse; typically, both.Kazooed on Classics / Temple City Kazoo Orchestra; Some Kazoos EP [1978]Fluffy / Gloria Balsam (Cynthia Frantz); Fluffy 7” [1979]Greg The Stop Sign / TISM; Machiavelli and the Four Seasons LP [1995]Lightning Strikes / Klaus Nomi; Klaus Nomi LP [1981]Paralysed / Legendary Stardust Cowboy; Paralysed 7” [1968]Wangaratta Wahine / Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band; Wangaratta Wahine LP [1974]Where’s Me Jumper / Saltans of Ping FC; Casual Sex in the Cineplex LP [1993]I’m the Sheik from Scrubby Creek / Chad Morgan; Sheik from Scrubby Creek 7” [1952]Love Song / Public Image Limited; Commercial Zone LP [1983]Hurdy Gurdy Mushroom Man / Neil; Hole in My Shoe (B-Side) 7” [1984]Git Dun (Shake Your Thang) / Gaye Bykers on Acid; Drill Your Own Hole LP [1987]Bohemian Rhapsody / Bad News; Bad News!

Local Melbourne author Chris O'Connor has just released a new book on Bob Dylan called, You Don't Need a Weatherman - Bob Dylan for Beginners (Melbourne Books, 2025).In this episode, guest host John A. Tait and Chris cover some of the themes contained in the book, such as the many voices of Bob Dylan, the storyteller, cover versions of Dylan songs, and Dylan’s own reworkings of his tracks. They also play a selection of Dylan's songs—some classic, some with a few surprises.

This week's episode is presented by guest host Madison Moffat of Queering The Air.One aspect of popular music that has consistently grabbed Madison's attention since infanthood is ‘the chant’. In adjudicating which songs qualified for a show that focussed on chanting in popular music, it was difficult at times to decide whether a song featured a ‘chant’ or just one of those repetitive choruses that are so common in modern rock and pop.Madison feels the distinction (or, at least, the one that feels important for her) is of the vocals having reached or exceeded an arbitrary threshold of percussiveness. Old Alabama / BB & Group / Negro Prison Songs From The Mississippi State Penitentiary [1958]Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved, Pt. 1 / James Brown; Original Release: 1970 / The 50th Anniversary Collection [2003] 48 Crash / Suzi Quatro / Suzi Quatro [1973]So Tough / The Slits / Cut [1979]Chant (Live) / Public Image Limited / Paris au Printemps [1980]Kings of the Wild Frontier / Adam and the Ants/ Kings of the Wild Frontier [1980]Double Dutch / Malcolm McLaren / Duck Rock [1983]We Got Trouble / Age of Chance / One Thousand Years of Trouble [1987]Pirahna / I Spit On Your Gravy / Fruit Loop City [1987]The Game / Tackhead / The Game EP [1987O Fortuna / Apotheosis / O Fortuna EP [1991]Cassius 1999 / Cassius / 1999 [1999]Volksarmee / PATENBRIGADE: WOLFF / Ударник [2014]Monday / Clamm / Care [2022]

Being the adventures of one Madison Moffat (Queering the Air), whose principal interests are (at least for the purposes of this show): designer savagery, dystopic romanticism, and extreme theatrical pretension. P.W.E.I. Vs. The Moral Majority / Dance Of The Mad Bastards / Pop Will Eat ItselfFrom the 1990 album Cure for Sanity; this original version features the dark lord responding to The Moral Majority Jerry Falwell Snr, summonsing us to ‘Get up…. and make it snappy!’ Streaming services have since bafflingly sanitised this opening to the album by removing that critical call to action. Bad Life / Public Image LimitedThe 1984 album This is What You Want, This is What You Get seemed to be an intentional self-parody of a band who had insisted “We are not a band, we are a company”. Plastic pop meets a remaining punk attitude; although John Lydon had long disavowed that previous musical moment. I consider this the most intentionally plastic and antagonistic track on the album. Do That Dance / Primitive CalculatorsJust before breaking up, this 246 Johnston Street, Fitzroy based band formed in 1978 and released this single in 1979. It remains for me a precursor to much of the distorted industrial stuff I hear around the traps today. Mines Full of Maggots / Alien Sex FiendFrom the 1985 album Maximum Security, the point to playing this track from my own adolescent point of view was to annoy my father as much as possible. Sheer agitated repetition, like a clock cycle on dexamphetamine. Rockit Miss USA (Deathwish IV Mix) / Sci-Fi Sex Stars (pseudonym for Sigue Sigue Sputnik).A limited edition 12” released by Rough Trade Records in 1986, seemingly because Sputnik’s contracted company EMI wouldn’t touch it. Possibly to ensure EMI’s refusal, the cover features three transgender women half-dressed in bondage gear brandishing whips. Rough Trade decided to cover their more ‘uprightly excited’ body parts with a sticker, that has become more translucent with each decade. Be Fast Be Clean Be Cheap / Age of ChanceCalling both their style of music and their 1986 mini-album Crush Collision; this track title refers to the Big Food ethos and how it had ostensibly become an industrial relations and socio-economic catchcry for the ‘me decade’. In their parlance, this track is driving with Sonic Force. Indeed. I Don’t Know What It Is / Pete ShelleyAlready brandishing substantial punk credentials as the frontman of the then disbanded Buzzcocks, Shelley’s 1982 solo album ‘Homosapien’ embraced the new wave synthpop sound while maintaining his declaratory vocal sensibility. I view this track as the album’s distillation of both. Mr DNA / Smart Patrol / DevoThrough the prism of those ‘best of 70s/80s’ compilation albums, Devo may appear about as punk as Shakin’ Stevens. But even their massive hit ‘Whip It’ suggests subversion beneath the novelty. Tracks such as this one from the 1979 album ‘Duty Now For the Future’ are a pulsating scepticism towards mainstream culture and it’s atomising qualities, sitting easily with the electropunk/cyberpunk ethos and sound. Get a Dog Up Ya / Mr FloppyOn the 1993 album The Unbearable Lightness of Being a Dickhead, Ascot Vale based Mr Floppy mixed ocker frenzy, Oi! and samples from 90s late night television content and advertisements. Their merch included t-shirts brandishing the title of this track, aptly chosen by wardrobe for Ben Mendelsohn’s catalysing character in the grim oz suburban film Idiot Box. Dictator / The ClashThe Clash imploded as a group, resulting in Joe Strummer going it alone with what appeared to be a collective of models with mohawks; releasing in 1985 the least popular album to bear the band’s name, Cut the Crap. History has been kinder to this album than critics of the time (or Strummer himself) were. The criticism centred around what I find most appealing about it, it’s cacophony. It was derided for the very same reliance on incessant synthetic percussion and sampling that would only a few years later be very trendy indeed. Seconds Too Late / Cabaret VoltaireThis is the otherwise difficult to find 1980 7” version, from the compilation “The Original Sound of Sheffield ’78 –’82. Later to be known for their Hi NRG and House/Techno recordings, this harks back to their early middling success as Dadaistic post-punks. A serene change of pace for this rather manic episode of Rotations, it none-the-less menaces throughout, with percussion occasionally resembling a metal works incident. Eight Fivers / Gilla BandWith tracks like this 2022 release, from the album Most Normal, electro-punk (loosely termed) remains in good hands. This Irish self-declared noise band claim imperviousness to any particular genre, but that has never stopped me from pigeonholing. The cynicism towards consumerism, abandonment of good taste, repetition, chanting, clash clash bang bang; all good things. Oceania ‘Tis for Thee / Nineteen-Eighty-Four Motion Picture Soundtrack [Extract]This episode ends as all would if the magnificent vision of George Orwell had been realised, striving in glory for our homeland Oceania and for the love of Big Brother. Please stand to attention.

In this show, Brendan Bonsack presents tracks from The Clearing, an album by Jerome Ellis, exploring speech, dysfluency and history. As the liner notes describe the work, "The Clearing is a conceptual and musical tour de force that combines Jazz with the narratives of enslaved Africans, and experimental electronics with historical accounts of Black rebellion. The album centers speech but uses it as a starting point to not only depathologize dysfluent speech but to build new tools to critique anti-Blackness, linear time, culture, and power in our society." The Clearing is co-produced by Northern Spy/NNA Tapes and the Poetry Project.

On this week's episode, a crew of anti-pinkwashing, anti-Midsumma queer 3CR programmers have grabbed the mic for a collaborative takeover with their selection of certified bangers from Palestinian, Arab, First Nations, queer, and radical artists. Presented by Priya of Thursday Breakfast.  This episode includes an interview with Amber, a white queer trans settler who speaks about the importance of autonomous queer and trans resistance against pinkwashing following this year’s protest action at the Midsumma pride parade on Feb 4. The action shone a spotlight on the hypocrisy of including cops in the march when vic pol assaulted, choked, and slapped resistors for refusing to normalise including the systemic violence of this colonial, carceral institution in what we’re supposed to believe is an event celebrating queer and trans people. The participation of people attending Midsumma and other bystanders in harassing resistors alongside the cops amplified how unsafe these events really are for those of us who reject ‘diversity and inclusion’, and how violent, carceral logics have infected our sites of self-expression. Later in the episode you’ll hear a reading of the PINK PRESS RELEASE published on QUEER KILLJOYS’ instagram on Feb 6.  Tracklisting:Feel It Too / RONA.Falasteen Flow / Big RigsNasak / Clarissa and Nabil BitarJustice / TootArdRadio Romance / Mashrou' Leilaburn the flag / _moPalestinian Revolution / Riad Awwad (via MaJazz Project)Angel / Shygirl and Fatima Al QadiriHizam Nar / Kokym  Remember, RISE has been calling for a boycott of Midsumma for years - read their 2024 statement here. For more info about Midsumma’s pinkwashing of police, prisons, ‘Australia’s’ immigration detention system, political parties, and corporations, check out the work of queer killjoys, trans queer solidarity and crym. Read, sign and amplify the liberatory demand from queers in palestine published in november 2023 under the ruthless genocidal onslaught waged by ‘Israel’. To learn more about how ‘Israel’ uses pinkwashing to launder its image internationally, watch the documentary ‘Pinkwashing Exposed’ here for free. Want to do something useful for queer and trans people?

I'm Alex K, I co-present and produce a show called the Greek Resistance Bulletin on Tuesdays at 10:00pm. We cover news about Greek politics, social movements and the extra-parliamentary left.My shows on Rotations are an enjoyable self-indulgence in that I try not to restrict myself to explicitly political and Greek music that I would normally play on GRB. I'm into all sorts of fuzzy/lo-fi/weird/sounds from and influenced by underground movements from the late 60s onwards.These movements breathed the same fumes as the long waves of class, political and social struggle so what I play is political but maybe indirectly.

I'm Alex K, I co-present and produce a show called the Greek Resistance Bulletin on Tuesdays at 10:00pm. We cover news about Greek politics, social movements and the extra-parliamentary left. My shows on Rotations are an enjoyable self-indulgence in that I try not to restrict myself to explicitly political and Greek music that I would normally play on GRB. I'm into all sorts of fuzzy/lo-fi/weird/sounds from and influenced by underground movements from the late 60s onwards. These movements breathed the same fumes as the long waves of class, political and social struggle so what I play is political but maybe indirectly. Visit https://3cr.org.au/rotations for a full list of previous Rotations programs and hosts.

Innez Tulloch is currently filling the shoes as the 3CR Volunteers and Training Coordinator. Usually, behind the scenes, Innez reached out to Joe 3CR's Music Coordinator with a request to program this special edition of Rotations. Innez is joined by Matthew Ford, founder of Tenth Court Records for a special tribute to Naarm based artist Katharine Daly who moved on from this realm a couple of months ago.   Katharine leaves us with an incredible catalogue of rollicking modern folk music. Sometimes playful, sometimes mournful but always with a political slant, sticking it to the man with humour and sass. Innez and Matthew share songs by Ostraaly and other projects Katharine was involved in, as well as some of her favourite tracks picked by Kath's bandmates. We hope the 3CR community enjoys Katharine's music as much as she loved creating it.   To listen to more or to download Ostraaly head to Bandcamp - https://ostraalyband.bandcamp.com/  Visit https://3cr.org.au/rotations for a full list of previous Rotations programs and hosts.

I presented my Tom T. Hall tribute show on 10 October 2021 following his passing on 20 August. As a child, Tom’s amazing song-writing and storytelling was something all my family loved; I found much joy and inspiration in the words and music.  The show was vastly different to Out of the Pan – nothing queer; all the same, still some sense of justice e.g. The Monkey Who Became President and Tom’s cover of John Prine’s Paradise (environment).  Song selection was hard because I love every Tom T. Hall song; as well as his more thoughtful songs, I hope the range I played conveyed love, including for his sense of humour and respect for country and bluegrass.  I wish listeners much enjoyment.  Visit https://3cr.org.au/rotations for a full list of previous programs and hosts.   Tracklist (all songs performed by Tom T. Hall): The Ballad of Forty Dollars, Margie’s at the Lincoln Park Inn, Salute to a Switchblade, The Year that Clayton Delaney Died, The Monkey Who Became President, The Story of Your Life, Country Is, Lyin Jim, Negatory Romance, Paradise, Your Man loves you Honey, Three Sofa Story, Greed Kills More People than Whiskey, Soldier of Fortune, Song of the South, A Headstone for Harry.

My name's Karina and I consider myself a bit of an all-rounder vollie at 3CR, also helping produce City Limits on a Wednesday morning. This week on Rotations I played a bit of an emotionally high 'n' low selection of music, which I reckon is pretty reflective of the turbulent emotional time we find ourselves in.   My favourite track from today is "Another Spring", one which I feel encapsulates the perspective that has come with the slow move into springtime this lockdown.   Visit https://3cr.org.au/rotations for a full list of previous Rotations programs and hosts.  Tracklist: Mood Ring - TrueMendous Elocution - Sleaford Mods Heels - Billy Nomates Rainbow - Boris Featuring Michio Kurihara Before the Ship Sinks - Traz Feat.

I've always wanted to hear "Lazy Sunday Afternoon" by the Small Faces on a lazy Sunday arvo, so it was a joy and pleasure to open my first Rotations show with that song.   However when it comes to finding the most interesting music these days I'm attracted to predominantly local, female artists. I don't why but the tunes our local girls are coming out with are just the best. Maybe it's got something to do with empowered expression at this particular moment in history, or maybe I just haven't been listening hard enough previously. Anyway it's a lovely time to be listening for new audio enhancement.   Hope you enjoy the songlist.  - Kev Gaynor, The SUWA Show   Visit https://3cr.org.au/rotations for a full list of previous Rotations programs and hosts.
