Do you remember Shrek the Sheep? Well 20 years ago he was big news in NZ when he was found after evading the shears for 6 years by hiding in a cave away from his flock. He was finally shorn on national TV and enough wool came off him to make 10 large men’s suits. Shrek went on to meet then NZ prime minister Helen Clark to celebrate his 10th birthday.
This weeks show has very little to do with sheep but a lot to do with the excellent music that was made or released in 2004.
Do you have a standout track or artist from 2004?
Tune in from 5-7 Friday night and relive the sounds of 20 years ago on @94.9mainfm

Where were you in 1994? And more importantly what were you listening to?
Grunge? Hip-hop? Trip-hop?
Who was big in your musical world? Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, The Smashing Pumpkins, Beck, Pearl Jam or Nirvana? Were you more into The Beastie Boys, Nas, Wu Tang Clan or OutKast? Maybe you were into something else completely. 94 was cracking year for music all round.
Last week we explored 1984, this week it’s 94 and it’s going to be a fun trip!
We will be joined this week by talented local musician who is playing at the upcoming in Castlemaine in a couple of weeks time. She might even play a tune live!

Prince, Tina Turner, Madonna and Cyndi Lauper dominated the charts, The Boss released born in the USA, Wham made an impact and Queen were making some quality film clips! We will explore some of the big bangers and try to uncover some lesser known gems as well.
Check out the Van Halen 1984 tour cap I found at the op shop!!
