Tina shares some gospel, after seeing the incredible Aretha Franklin doco Amazing Grace doco, some Herbs, Troy Kingi, Ann Peebles, Curtis, Gyedu-Blay Ambolley, Lizzo and Prince originals and more fun stuff
We are visited by Kerry Buchanan, Auckland record retail stalwart, writer, and local legend. We cover topics such as Auckland record stores, how corrupt the charts were (and why that sometimes was no bad thing), local clubs, the six o'clock swill, the Superbad column in the Real Groove magazine, and how sourcing music has changed since the 80's. We also pay tribute to Dr. John, RIP.
Harmony refers to both social agreement and musical accordance, and often, the former is achieved through the latter. It is a well-known fact that music brings people together. What better way to do so than through the Auckland City radio waves?

A soundtrack for creative minds and people who spread gratitude in a confronting way.
We are joined in studio by Homance aka DJ Darkweb who is back in Auckland to do some cool stuff (like shoot the latest Ovna Ovich collection today). Off air, we discuss community, belonging and the way in which we consume music during different creative states. Remember; you're always welcome at universal harmony, and you don't need a loyalty stamp card to prove it.
