If you could make the soundtrack to your life, a mixtape, what songs would you choose? Welcome to Almost a Mirror, a podcast about Australian music from the late 1970s and 80s, where the post-punk world of the Crystal Ballroom collides with the pop icons of Countdown. Come with me, Kirsten Krauth, on a personal journey through music and memory where each episode is sparked by a song.

We enter the dirty jungle rhythm of Zoo Music Girl, a song by The Birthday Party. We look at crushes, animal magnetism, the seduction of performance, and ask: Nick Cave – is he a man or a myth? We meet the fans, the friends, and we remember Anita Lane.
