In acknowledgement of the anniversary of Napoleon's surrender aboard the HMS Bellerophon, this evening's episode of What I Say is a repeat of Ben's Less-Than-A-Minute Special from back in 2020. Blink and you will miss all 68 songs. From 6pm.
This evening is a Ben episode, featuring Alistair Galbraith, Richard Youngs, and Pretty in Pink, as experienced on a recent trip to Melbourne. New interest, The Roches, will be introduced. Recent favs mostly populate the remaining space - Alison Cotton, Tierra Whack, Free Live Sports, Miss Grit, The Huskees, and Living Clipboards. From 6pm.
TDCs are often a great alternative take for an artist to make and WIS favourite, Tierra Whack, does not waste the opp.
This Black Music Month, Tiny Desk is giving the ladies their flowers. We’re releasing nine Tiny Desk concerts from Black women artists, from veterans who’ve ...
It does have that early 90s FN sound, kinda like Cyclops or Chug, so it's no surprise to find Tex Houston behind the k***s and faders.
9 track album
It's big and loud, just like all loud and big things should be.
7 track album
I haven't been this punked about pop since Cher O'Bowlies - The Pick Of The Undertones.
10 track album
If all goes according to plan, this evening will be a quadruple triple play. The Huskees, Miss Grit, Free Live Sports, and Denise Roughan all get three songs each. It will be wonderful. From 6pm.
New releases from Yazz Ahmed and Alison Cotton feature this evening, and this prompted more fusion, so there's Herbie Hancock and Can too. More NZ, as per usual, with Stephen Cogle's Minus 2 and The Garbage and The Flowers. Tierra Whack continues to delight.
No, no, no, it's NOT Ben drooling over Cowboy Carter this evening, the timing just wasn't right. Instead it's Ben swooning over World Wide Whack and The Kicks, with The Huskees, On, The Garbage and The Flowers, and Electrelane too. From 6pm, streaming worldwide at edgeradio.org.au
What I Say's feature disc from Ben this week - several tracks will be played on Monday.
The Philadelphia rapper takes her Missy Elliott-gone-Sesame Street vibe to a darker place on her debut album proper
Ben went to Hobart recently, this means Pere Ubu, Filthy Little Star, Michael Rother, and Shonen Knife will feature on What I Say this evening. Than, apart from Yazz Ahmed, the rest is music from New Zealand...sweet, noisy, fragile New Zealand.
This evening's episode will kick off with some brilliant axe-work from Geordie, who died...no, not that Jordy. Then Ben will sing a little song and talk about The Breeders gig. Following that there will be some classic mid-nineties Australian underground music. Yazz Ahmed follows, there are some other things interspersed, and it all ends with BDP. Listen to it, or it never happened.
Most importantly today, the final edition of What I Say for 2023! It’s Robert’s 2023 wrap - that includes the best of 2023 pop, TV, oz music, new discoveries, a final Cleaners from Venus and continuing the new tradition of closing out the year with a viral hit. From 6pm on 99.3FM or stream at the edge radio website xoxo
Ben's Best of 2023 just kicked-off with Built to Spill's Spiderweb, imagine what else might get played! JUST IMAGINE. It's not things released in 2023, just things that featured heavily by Ben on What I Say during the year.
Robert hosts tonight from 6pm! Features are Mount Trout’s fantastic new album Petrol Bush, as well as the country Sri Lanka, the rest is made up of Strange songs by Magnetic Fields and marking the start of summer with The Beach and Suns Out Guns Out…
This is the new one from Teresa Winter, the older stuff is available here: teresawinter.bandcamp.com
9 track album
Tonight, Ben will play a song called Strange 5 times in a row. The Fall, Que, Teresa Winter, and K.M.D. to beef the remaining cheese. From 6pm.
Robert hosts tonight from 6PM and to celebrate Edge Radio's annual fundraiser, it is a special edition of What I Say with guest Bobby K, who has curated a playlist tracking the tradition of the English folk song through (mostly English, also Irish and Welsh) folk-rock, anarcho-punk and post-punk. That's Pogues + Richard and Linda Thompson, it's Mekons, it's also Chumbawamba and the Television Personalities plus a bunch of lesser know and rare gems. Stream *and donate* at www.edgeradio.org.au xoxo

Ben's ep this evening, featuring Judee Sill. And some free jazz as a palate cleanser. Then also Ken Pomeroy, Connie Converse, Jesse Lark, Warner, Smith & Bancroft, Filthy Little Star, Sentient Desert, and Cuticles. From 6pm.
I once said that pavlova is one thing I am willing to accept will not be part of a vegan diet. I have been since told to keep faith in fava juice. But where are the liquorice allsorts? Don't sneeze when walking on wings, your neck is far too long. Oamaru is North of Aramoana, along the coast road.
5 track album
Here is the Door is pretty wild, but there's even wilder stuff on there. If you are going to buy any 50s artist who disappeared in the 70s, make it Connie, make it Connie Converse.
34 track album
It costs $11.11 for the Diggers. Essential Tasmanian purchase.
10 track album
One reason to play a live Built to Spill track - apart from me not actually owning any BtS studio material - was to highlight the incredible and oft forgot resource that archive dot org is - for BtS alone it is the source of HUNDREDs of live recordings. Beat the bootleggers and put yourself out there:
Built To Spill
Ben hosts this evening, and it's all guitars and singing. Current favs Pretenders, The La's, Pretty in Pink, and The Kelley Deal 6000 will feature. Also new stuff from Michael Valentine, Warner, Smith & Bancroft, Cuticles, and Connie Converse. Complete the picture with Surfergirl, Filthy Little Star, The Who, Ken Pomeroy, and Built to Spill . Lawks a-mercy.
Robert hosts tonight from 6pm, with the theme being music from their infinite playlist that they know little to nothing about, plus the return of Tim Robinson Taught Me.
Nothing fresh tonight, listeners. Ben sends his apologies. Maybe a secret repeat? It's all old cold gold, can't go wrong.
