Our drive to work takes 40 minutes, and though people say that's a long commute, we don't mind - half of it is bush, there's only one set of traffic lights, and it's the road that takes us back to paradise. Plus, we get to listen to great tunes on 3PBS Melbourne radio, hang out together, and chat.
Sometimes we pick up a samosa from the servo on the way home. So good. I might even doze off a little.
And sometimes the skies are beautiful, like this morning - they've been burning off and there's also a bit of winter morning fog, so the clouds were gorgeous.
I often knit, or chat to Jamie, or look random things up like where the name Melbourne came from, which was Lord Melbourne, who was William Lamb, who PM of UK in the 1880's. Quite a prick by the sound, as he was totally pro slavery, and anti egalatarian - he thought there should be one law for the rich and one for the poor when it came to criminal punishment. He coached Queen Victoria through the early days of her queenship.
Narm is the first nation name for Melbourne - something that's been adopted over the last few years. There's a movement to have two names for place in Australia, recognising our history. Tassie's already gone a long way to do this and most people down there use either/or - for eg, Mount Wellington is also kunanyi.
Our drive time radio is these guys on PBS - you can listen again if you like. We really like Milo on Wednesday to Fridays who often plays banging tunes. They often have guest DJ's from 8 am - we usually get to work at 8.30. But you can also listen again.
Here's a selection of his choices for #threetunetuesday, hosted by @ablaze here on Hive. A warning - these aren't particularly chill tunes, so don't listen if it's not your thing.
Soul Wan On and On and On
How absolutely '90's rave is this? We were suprised to hear this guy was from Narm (Melbourne) - it sounded like someone who knew his British dance tunes. However, the host then said he hailed from Newcastle, so there you go.
Mike D Switch Up
This one's so new I can only give you a Tidal link - fuck Spot-iffy - here. It's been a lonnnnng time since this Beastie Boys founding member has put anything out. It feels like a jam session really but it's exciting to hear from this legend.
M Beat featuring General Levy
Jamie shouted 'yay' for this one and turned it up loud. He has it on vinyl. Imagine hearing this for the first time in '94. Booyacka booyacka!
With Love,

Wow I really enjoys beat in this "soul wun on and on" the beat is so organized and it's Apsolutly amazing, thank you so much for sharing this beautiful videos with us @riverflows 🙏
I just follow you, and I will be so excited if you follow me to🤗
One of the most annoying things on Hive, and can lead to unwanted consequences for it, is to ask people to follow you. I suggest you stop that immediately
I'm so so sorry @livinguktaiwan I never knew it can cause me a problem, thank you so much for letting me know, and I promise you I will never repeat that ever again on hive.🙏😔
Haha you're so bossy :P Love you x
You didn't know that before 😄😉
Oh hey I'm glad you enjoyed it! I will do, always after new people to connect with! Of course, I'll only follow if your thing is kinda my thing, and reserve the right to not follow you if your posts dont' connect with me.
😂😂 okay okay, I will let my post do the convincing from now on.
I love how you combined your personal experience with something educational and interesting - it's always nice to learn something new! Plus some tunes for a good mood! :)
I like the posts here that give a bit of interesting info or writing then the tunes - I love @thebigshigg and @honeydue 's #ttt posts for this!
Indeed a wonderful morning drive view, while relishing Samosa, is absolutely delightfully amazing experience to be.
I usually tune into Nova 96.9
Cheers! :)
I'm very much an afternoon samosa girl! Oh you're in Sydney???
