FIVE FROM SEVENS AND TWELVES
Our hosts, Dave and Mark, are two music obsessives who first met in 2008 at the community radio station RTRFM 92.1 in Perth, Western Australia. Bonding over a love of post punk and other alternative music genres, they soon began making music together and are still heavily involved in the city's fertile local music scene. They also like nothing more than a yarn about music, and their favourite (or not so favourite) bands. These conversations are often amusing, sometimes serious and occasionally, potentially libellous. Thus, the idea for this podcast was born. Each episode the lads choose a theme and each select five songs to explore the topic. The show is free flowing and so the facts are sometimes hazy and the chat can go in any direction. This is not your typical music show.
FIVE FROM SEVENS AND TWELVES
Eyes
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Our eyes are vital because they capture up to 80% of our sensory information. Some believe they are the window to the Soul and there is certainty they can produce a biological and chemical connection. Unsurprisingly Eyes make highly adaptable symbols in song writing. We choose 5 examples.
