On today's show Thursday host Emma Gleason catches up with New Zealand author Eva Wyles to discuss her new book of short stories, Deliverywoman. There's also new music from Fables, Mainard Larkin and the latest from Damon Albarn, Grian Chatten and Kae Tempest, plus some old tracks by the likes of The Secret Garden (the Audioculture article Emma mentions can be found here).
Kirk's back with a swag of tunes spanning over some 1975, 1985, 1995, 2025 jams & lots more, including a few from Roy Ayers & Angie Stone whom we lost, also a couple featuring Chaka Khan & a cover of 'Ain't Nobody' to celebrate her coming to town. Turn it up & enjoy folks.
This week in the stack we celebrate birthdays of Joe Sample and Rick James. RIP Sly Dunbar. It's forty years since Janet Jackson's Control dropped, so that's in the mix too...
Otherwise it's the usual - papering over the cracks between Brazilian boogie, Turkish psych, bit of Latin, jazz-funk, soul, whatever else made sense at the time. Three hours from the crates as usual.
