The core of Big Planet Noise was formed when Bob Irwin was just 5 years old. The day he picked up his first 45, the whole thing set to spinning – and records and music have been pretty much all he’s thought about ever since. Avocation eventually became vocation, leading to Sundazed Music and Modern Harmonic, all drawing inspiration from Bob’s legendary collection. But, what good is having so many records if no-one else can hear them with you?


Big Planet Noise is Bob’s way of inviting everyone over to hang out in the music room while he and co-host Gina Bacon flip through the stacks and play great records. And – the BPN chat room is where the action is… they yak about what’s on the turntable, tell stories, backstories, and share what was had for dinner, friends ’n family style. Gina keeps the celestial orbit steady-as-it-goes; making sure the stylus stays in the groove, the stacks don’t teeter and the drinks don’t spill all over the console. NB: Gina can also be heard on Saturday afternoons as the host of Someday Matinee (also on WFMU's Give The Drummer Radio stream), a show filled with live musical performances and artist interviews, direct from Music City.


There’s a reason it’s called Big Planet Noise… the show covers a lot of musical ground; familiar, forgotten, unheralded, unheard… The sonic menu is ever-changing; you’ll hear oddball teens, psychedelic wizards, mod lads, sitar savants, space-cadets, groovy soundtracks, and maybe even some bossa nova, when it feels right.

Unusual to hear The Hollies rock like that.

Yeah - the Sam & Dave track. Interestingly, I heard the Hollies first, and always thought it was their original.

Always my pleasure. The only other highlight of my day was a brand new interview with David Crosby on another station which was more than entertaining. Needless to say. Talking everything Byrds, Csn, Csny, personal stuff...you name it.

I always had a great relationship with him. Until we issued the Preflyte material. He gave me hell for that.

Man, despite the silly get ups, them Raiders rocked !
Avatar 8:29pm
bigplanetnoise:

Well Sean - he's a difficult guy. I worked with him on and off for years on different projects for Sony. When we went to issue the early, pre-Columbia material, he said that no cared about it, and that it was scraping the barrel. Which, of course, is not true. It's amazing material. And Cros especially shines on it!

Snayle - the Raiders are on of the top three TRULY great American 60's bands!!

There is a great band from St. Petersburg, Russia that plays some cool surf music. They're called Messer Chups, and their bass player looks like Bettie Page! Check out their video on YT, "Insomnia of the Mummies Tomb"

Indeed Professor ! I second that !!! Biggest Little Raiders Fan to this day !!!

Such a fabulous version of this song! I like The Parrots and CC and The Chasers versions as well. An odd track to have several bands go after it.
