#249: Alone, Taylor and Matty, Hipster turns 20

It’s been a big week of finales, and we celebrate the iconic winner of Alone Australia and those moments following the reveal. Succession and Ted Lasso have wound up too, but don’t be scared; Myf is still catching up on Succession, and Zan on Lasso, so no spoilers here for now.

As we hit record, breaking news about Samantha AKA Kim Cattrall’s appearance on the Sex In the City reboot has us shook (and jazzed). And speaking of reboots, The Office will be getting a local makeover with it’s first ever female boss.

The rumoured relationship between Taylor Swift and Matty Healey has a lot of people talking, and plenty of Swiftie’s responding. Is their involvement in her personal life crossing the line? And 20 years on, who or what was the “hipster”, and what has that reaction to “normie” culture become today?

We’ve been listening keenly of late too, with Myf banging on about Normal Gossip, and Zan loving the Saving the Franklin podcast.

Vale Joy McKean - Double J

Joy McKean isn't the biggest name in Australian music, but she has every right to be.

The first ever Golden Guitar winner, the writer of so many of Australia's most iconic country songs, a workhorse who, along with her husband Slim Dusty, blazed a trail for what an artist could do in this country.

Her music has helped bring communities together across the nation and her influence is impossible to overstate. Learn more about her incredible life and career in this special celebration of a true icon.

This episode of The J Files was originally broadcast in November 2021. In light of the news of Joy McKean's passing, we've re-released the broadcast as a podcast on 26 May 2023.

Colin Hay's songs of service

Colin Hay is the kind of guy you want to have a yarn with. He’s a master songwriter from his days in Men at Work, and the long solo career that has followed. Colin captures the world in a beautiful way. He’s also a recent recipient of the Ted Albert Award for Outstanding Services to Australian music, and came back to Australia to accept it.

While he was in the county, I asked him to Take 5. Because I knew he’d tell a good story or two, but I also wanted to know what were the songs of service to him? As someone who has honed their craft over more than 40 years, I wanted to hear him speak about music. From Booker T and the MG’s to Joni Mitchell to Leonard Cohen, this is a stunning conversation about song craft, life, and gratitude.
Booker T & the MG’s – Green Onions
Bob Dylan – Gotta Serve Somebody
Joni Mitchell – Court & Spark
Glen Campbell – Wichita Lineman
Leonard Cohen – Hallelujah

Cash Savage's love songs - ABC listen

It’s been a minute between albums for Cash Savage and the Last Drinks. But the Melbourne songwriter has returned with her band after five years, and with an album of intense feeling.

So This Is Love is a story of heartbreak, but also a celebration of love in all it’s forms, and how it changes, and can still be with you when people are gone.

This is a beautiful conversation with Cash. She shared so much, and also reminded me that, even when it hurts, love is always worth it. That feeling, the joy, the connection, and even the pain.

From Luther Vandross to Harmony to The Beach Boys, this is a deeply honest conversation with one of Australia’s best songwriters.
Harmony - Love is a Chemical High
Luther Vandross - Never Too Much
Courtney Marie Andrews - Near You
Big Smoke - Best Of You
Beach Boys - God Only Knows
