All over the place tonight with a blast from 1974 Rory Gallagher, brand spanking new Mary Elaine Jenkins and Sarah Shook and the Disarmers. Some outlaw country that might have actually been a bit shit, Marty Robbins, and some sadly beautiful Slaid Cleaves. Billy Bragg and Joe Henry because Billy's here this week, and a nudge to The Eastern and a couple from Reb Fountain just because those folks are national treasures.
Today on your bFM Breakfast: Mikey got splashed by bus making his way to Breakfast this morning, but that doesn't stop him folks, bringing you a zany Wake Up Call as per; Dr. Bryce Edwards dials in from Auckland this morning (so close, yet so far) to talk about the recent ongoings with the Pride Parade and NZ's political polls; Tess and Mikey are joined in studio by a furry friend; and Troy brings in some very exciting new records this morning, make sure you get in fast everyone. Happy days!
It is Jenn's inaugural Morning Glory show. Listen to her earning her daytime DJ wings with tracks by Banoffee, Reveena, KMD and Labi Siffre. Find Keria now on Fridays and Danielle taking good care of Totally Wired on Saturdays. Catch you next week! ; ) <3
Today on your bFM Breakfast: December's here and so are those Christmas tunes; can anyone remember all the Metal Memory Monday tracks? Mike puts faith in the listeners memory; Kiran brings in a book Mikey has to get his hands on immediately; and Natural Ange knows the best spray to keep those mozzies away. A very warm welcome to summer.
This week Jenn continues to settle in bringing you tracks old and new. We hear from the likes of Les Papyvores, Dennis. and some sweet 90's inspired House from Pascale Project. The lovely Mel Parsons joins Jenn in studio to talk about her new album Glass Heart, touring and recording in th U.S.A and performs an acoustic tune for us all to treasure.
This was fun. The great cliches of rural american music: factory closures, no good cheatin', "i done a crime and will be hanged", "troubles I got - you have no idea mate", "this town is fucked, i'm leaving" and the classic "all my problems are solved by drinking to excess". As well as few songs about significant weather events and a couple of warnings that war is bad and love is a bit tricky.
Today's musical treats include a remixed track from post punk Canadians Ought, some classic Japanese alt rock from the pillows and the usual, intermittent field recordings and funky grooves. Tune in to hear Jenn poorly pronounce all of the French songs she chose to play you ;)
