Who could believe it? Not me! Annabel and Callum are back celebrating another big week in New Zealand music. We had Jonathan Pearce on the line from the beautiful Ohiwa, sharing some predictions and polling some local birds; then after a bracing conversation about the “father of the nation” Sir Edmund Hilary we glugged down the first in a trilogy of Glenfarclas single malts in Whisky Business, all while counting down the 10 biggest songs in the nation!
This week Finn McCahon-Jones joined Theo in studio and they spoke to Louise Menzies about her exhibition In an orange my mother was eating, which runs until February 14 at the Wallace Arts Centre. Later on, Theo talked to Uma Tuffnell about Jonald Dudd, an exhibition at Christchurch's Hot Lunch gallery.
What the hey? It’s the 95bFM Top Ten with Annabel and Callum! Tonight on the show we welcome a rare guest, Callum’s older brother Sam; we put our data analyst Dr. Jon Pearce to his biggest test yet by paying off a month old prediction; we tasted possibly our most delicious whisky yet in Whisky Business; and grilled Sam with a series of probing questions… all while counting down the biggest songs in the nation!
In the first half of the show, LA-based pop band Girl Friday called in from a heat wave to talk about their new single "I'm Impossible," and what's next for their music. Later on, multi-media artist Judy Darragh came into the bFM studio to chat about Competitive Plastics, a solo exhibition at Objectspace which folds together a number of Judy's longstanding material and conceptual interests.
