Episode 1041: Everyone Deserves Music with Scott - 26 October 2025
Description
When it comes to cover versions, the standard is young emerging artists covering established artists. So why is Paul Dempsey covering emerging WA songwriter Carla Geneve on his latest release 'Shotgun Karaoke' Vol 2?
Geneve is no stranger to this recognition. One of Australia's finest songwriters Mick Thomas has covered her 2019 track 'Yesterday's Clothes' on his 2025 EP 'First Step in a Homeward Direction'. They've also both had a stab at The Triffids classic 'Wide Open Road'. Geneve's 2022 take on it is inspired songwriting as she subs in her own lyrics to accompany the original melody.
On this show we feature Dempsey's cover of 'Dog Eared', Geneve's original of the same song as well as her 'Wide Open Road'. We also have a few tracks from Carla's new album 'Don't Be Afraid'. Dempsey's Vol 1 of 'Shotgun Karaoke' was released 13 years ago and it was a ripper. We'll explore Vol 2 a bit on this show with his cover of Sugar's 'If I Can't Change Your Mind'.
There's part 2 of my interview with Georgia Knight and a grab-bag of new releases from the likes of Al Matcott, Nigel Wearne, Floodlights, Magdalena Bay, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers, Gold Star, Kosmetika, Mega Fäuna, CLEWS and Ladytron.
