In which Matt and Matilda tell us about their theatrical Cock. (Not like _that_, even though Mikey predictably tries his damnedest.) As part of the team bringing Mike Bartlett's acclaimed play to life for a SILO/Auckland Live season, Matt and Matilda take on sexuality with all its dysfunctions and manipulations. What does Cock have in store for its players and, more importantly, its audience?
Mikey sits backstage at Logan Campbell Centre with three members of Queens of the Stone Age a few mere hours before the very first show of their new tour.

Feat. notable appearances from Troy Van Leeuwen's compliments and Sarah's knowledge of Las Vegas royalty.
Jordan Mooney stops by to talk to Mikey about playing some-other-dude named Jordan in TVNZ's new Sunday Theatre, 'The Dance Exponents: Why Does Love?' How exactly does one dance correctly to 'Sex & Agriculture' then?
Holed up in a hotel room, high above the bustling junket crows below, Mikey chats to director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim, Hot Fuzz, Spaced) about his brand new film, Baby Driver. A labour of musically inspired love, Wright talks to Mikey about finally finishing the passion project he's had kicking around his head (and iPod) for over twenty years.
On the day he starts a four date, short burst tour with Miss June, bass player Chris Marshall stops by to talk sharing the stage with Hideous Sun Demon, new singles, new videos and manages to fit in sidebar mentions for his other fulltime gig, The Miltones.

Nick and Anya from Nick Von K stop by to talk to us about their new jewellery collection and their involvement in tonight's First Thursdays on K Rd. ...Why are they providing performers? And just what are 'space cats'?

On the day of its release, we give the brand new Kane Strang album, Two Hearts and No Brain, a spin ...as well as having a chat with the man himself, live from Dunedin. As per usual, Mikey asks the hard questions: "Is your head really a firework, Kane?"
