Caught up with my old Basketballing buddy Mal Padgett recently to explore his life/musical story. This podcast - part 1 of 2 - tracks Mal's early years growing up on a farm outside Cobram then moving to Melbourne to study Graphic Design at the hottest Design studio in Australia - Swinburne Uni in the late 70s. When I met Mal he was a multi-media specialist at AAV studios in South Melbourne among a creative brat pack of edgy animators, graphic designers and music technicians. They also played fun Basketball. Mal also spent time in Taiwan doing multi media installations. Through all this, Mal's radios, reel-to-reels, walkmans and mini-disc players were close at hand providing the musical soundtrack to these experiences. Along the way I throw in some musical selections also.Mal's choices include The Reels, Led Zeppelin, The Church, Rick Wakeman/Yes, Roxy Music, The Rolling Stones, Supertramp, T.Rex, Jethro Tull & Jimmy Little.Scott's choices - Supertramp, Dry Cleaning, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, The Reels, The Rolling Stones and RVG.Elsewhere music from Hot Tubs Time Machine with Our Carlson as well as Kelsey Jean & The Bad Health.Deezer playlist here
