Living in the 70s

It’s that time of year again, when in recognition of a certain event on the Christian calendar (though with deeply pagan roots), we trawl through the Seventies musical canon for songs with a spiritual bent. And there are plenty to choose from. So if you fancy something a little uplifting to accompany you while you butter your hot cross buns and hunt for easter eggs, we’ve got the perfect playlist for you.

We had so much fun travelling down memory lane last week, paying track from artists we have seen live, that we though we would do it again. This week we remember even more concerts, featuring artists who were releasing music in the Seventies. The post Even more up close and personal appeared first on Living in the 70s.

There’s nothing quite like seeing your favourite musicians play live. This week our hosts remember concerts they’ve been to, featuring artists who were releasing music in the Seventies. It’s a trip down memory lane exploring the the incredible role that music plays in our lives, and a reminder to buy the tickets and get out there and go to the shows.

This show aired on Chill Out Festival Sunday, the festival in Daylesford in country Victoria that marks the end of Pride festivities and events for the year. To honour this fabulous event, we thought we would play some tracks that are either country, or country music inspired. It’s been a very long time since we’ve done a country show. It’s a broad genre – not all of it will be everyone’s cup of joe, but there’s bound to be something that gets you bootscooting. Yeehaw The post Howdy Pardner appeared first on Living in the 70s.

This week our show aired on World Wildlife Day, so we thought we would feature songs with some kind of animal in the title. Not all of the animals are wild and, to be honest, most of them are metaphors, but we think it’s been a great theme to highlight just some of the amazing music from the Seventies. We’ve got snakes, dogs, eagles, spiders and many more. Where would we be without animals? Not just facing extinction ourselves, but also without metaphorical songwriting richness. Perhaps not quite as important as saving the planet, but a good reason nevertheless to take action to support wildlife. Just imagine if we could never aspire to soar like an eagle?

Aaah work. We all have to do it at some stage in our lives. Sometimes we love it, sometimes it’s a grind, but everybody has to pay the bills somehow. It takes up a huge part of our lives, so it only stands to reason that songwriters are going to have something to say about it. Sure enough, there are a few songs out there talking about finding work, doing work and leaving work. So if you are at work and able to put on the headphones or the speakers to keep you company while you hustle, we have the perfect playlist.
