This week we discuss controversial Sydney rockers "Sticky Fingers".

At one time this group described themselves as the "guinea pig for cancel culture". But was their cancellation justified and their own fault? As well as diving into the music Jay and Jesse discuss how this band might not have been prepared to deal with the negative media attention that came their way a few years ago, and how they bounced back to continue releasing new material.

"Roots to Grooves" is a production of SIGNL.

Bjorn Stewart is a slashie. An actor, director, writer, and comedian; I became a massive fan seeing him doing Quarantine Cooking Challenges on the lockdown TV series At Home Alone Together. He’s also written and appeared on Black Comedy, and has been performing on stage for years. Recently Bjorn flipped to director, and will soon showcase his latest project, a comedy called All My Friends Are Racist. I wanted to get to know Bjorn, so asked him to Take 5 with the full course. Five songs for five sides of his creative life... from appetizer all the way through to cheese. He thoroughly embraced it.

Gorillaz -  "19–2000 (Soulchild Remix)"

Thelma Plum - "Woke Blokes"

Run the Jewels - "Walking in the Snow"

Janelle Monae - "We Were Rock and Roll"

Electric Fields - "2000 And Whatever"

Jessica Mauboy is a ray of light. We met her on a singing show more than a decade ago and since then she’s been flat out being a renaissance woman with a helluva big voice. I’ve wanted to do a Take 5 with Jess for years; she’s one of those people you just want to spend time with. Her beautiful energy sucks you in and charms the heck out of you. She’s also always struck me as incredibly grounded; through all of the twists and turns in her life as a pop star, Jess has kept her feet on the ground. That ground is often her home town of Darwin where, away from the cameras and stages, she can unwind with her sisters and parents. Just be Jess. Darwin is also the home of the National Indigenous Music Awards: an annual celebration of the best in First Nations music. Jess was due to headline the event, and the day before she joined me to Take 5 with her songlines. She came up with the theme; Jess wanted to talk about the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island artists who had inspired her, and led a path for her own creative life. Across legends and new voices alike, the connection Jess has and the places she takes you on this Take 5 is something else. Head to the Top End with a legend.

Yothu Yindi - 'Djapana'

Christine Anu - 'Party'
