STOP PRESS

David Johnston is the author of the outstanding book "The Music Goes Round My Head ? Australian Pop Music 1964-69" which was released in 2010, to much acclaim.

David has produced an audio version of his 'The Music Goes Round My Head' book, exclusively for Midoztouch Internet Radio.

In this series of audio chapters, David will be reading his own written word and further enhancing the narrative by playing much of the music that he so richly explores in the book.

On Tuesday, December 13th at 7:30PM (AEDT) we'll be airing the 30 minute introduction to David's audio-book, with the series of full hour audio-chapters to follow in 2012.

We will be repeating the introductory episode a number of times throughout that week. Details of the repeats and the book can be found at

I hope anyone who is interested in the formative years of Australian Music can listen in to this outstanding and engaging programme.
