Celebrating the release of Adam McGrath's solo album, Dear Companions. Tracks from that, The Eastern back catologue, Adams mates and heroes and influences and stuff I thought he might like and a rambling chat with the man. Also, Upper Hutt Posse on the Border Radio Show - tick.
It's Monday - and Saudi Arabia have got some interesting rules regarding religion. We also ask if Chris Bishop's in-law's are pissed about their son-in-law's comment on them as "not family".
Why the heck is the Fast & Furious movie franchise still being made? And we do more hehe's for What's Cooking - as the NZ International Comedy Festival plays out.
Got some blues for ya, some great local tunes off the system and handful from the 95bFM vinyl library. Very pleased with how the 'no power to the laptop' situation was handled and discovered perhaps the worst thing joe strummer ever did. you be the judge.
The great Ryan Adams redemption show. Gave him a shot after a chance encounter with a listener at a party in West Auckland. Played two songs. Still don't like him. Like MJ Lenderman though, so played him and like the track listing on my new shiny record of Neil Young and Crazy Horse 'Dume' - a repackage with exciting bonus tracks of Zuma from 1975, so played a version of Powderfinger you won't have heard. Played the Beyonce country song too - and liked that. Like the new Hurrah for the Riff Raff too. But Ryan's back in the naughty corner for eternity. I tried.
Some brand new tunes (Amigo the Devil) and some real oldies (Bob & Jimi). An exciting Wednesday cover of Drive By Truckers, more from Colby T Helms and a few strangers wander on into town as well as plenty of our familiar friends and aquaintances who are hanging out in the saloon. And that gorgeous Mel Parsons song that's doing the rounds all over playlist as well.
