💚 Another NZ music week show where we have been blessed with some fantastic new releases while also uncovering some older gems.
We start off gently, then pick things up with a Rockers Hif-Fi stomper. We continue to cycle through the genre windmill before landing on our Obtuse Tune Of The Week which is a deep, dark, and captivating 2019 collaboration betwee Klinical and Fre4knc.
We sneak in some Jai Paul and Burial for out atmospheric synth loving divas. And land on a live recording from Joe Armon-Jones and Mala for Live Before the Entertainment Guide. The final hour sees a plethora of new release, a dub section before ending on a tribute to acknowledge the passing of Herbs and all round legend of Aotearoa music, Willie Hona.
Thank you to all of you who came out and gave your energy to Fancy New Band last Friday at the tuning fork, that was very much appreciated.
See you all same time next week. With love!

On Wednesday Labour’s Carmel Sepuloni dominated political headlines with news that she is believed to be a contestant on this year's season of Celebrity Treasure Island.
The last MP to compete on a reality TV show was David Seymour, who competed on Dancing with the Stars in 2018. This appearance resulted in a now infamous video of Seymour twerking in 80s getup.
Last years Celebrity Treasure Island also drew headlines for including famous political figures, notably Tame Iti.
Political news this week has also included an announcement from Paul Goldsmith that the Government is looking at stopping election day voter enrolment due to the administrative burden.
Caeden asked about both these topics for our weekly catch-up with Carmel Sepuloni. They started by asking if she would appear in Celebrity Treasure Island.
Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith has announced the government is considering removing election day voter enrolment.
A spokesperson for the Electoral Commission told 95bFM background information on what election day voter enrolment is including that:
Election day enrolment was introduced for the 2020 General Election, so there have been two elections when it’s been in place.
It means people can enrol or update their details, and then vote, on election day.
Before 2020, people needed to enrol by the day before election day.
In 2023, about 110,000 people enrolled or updated their details on election day.
Anyone who enrols or updates their details in the month before election day needs to cast a special vote.
Minister Goldsmith's reason for looking at abolishing election day enrolment included; that few countries have this ability and the electoral commission does not have enough resources to deal with these special votes.
Opposition MPs, including Green Party Leader Chlöe Swarbrick has spoken out against removing same-day voting and enrolment, stating in a Press Release “any imposed barrier [to accessible elections] is rightfully open to serious criticism of voter suppression.”
Caeden asked political scientist at Victoria University Dr Lara Greaves (Ngāpuhi, Pākehā, Tararā) about the proposal and its resulting opposition.
They started by asking her to explain the issues with same day enrolment and voting.
