This week on Morning Glory Hunter played new songs from Gregor, Mapili & Eno x Dirty. For 'About Town' this week he highlighted live tracks from Street Chants performance at their 'Means album release show' back in August 2010. You can also check out his My Morning Mixtape interview with Peter Dickens from the New Zealand Music Foundation.
Today on your bFM Breakfast: Mike and Tess talk outfits of the day; Rod Oram catches up with Mike about our politics here in Aotearoa, yikes; we're serving up a brand new track from Soaked Oats; and Troy's picks this week even include some dub for Mikey. All that for a sensational Breakfast, just for you.
Today on your bFM Breakfast: After the tragedy on Friday, it's undeniably a sombre Monday; Pennie joins Mikey in studio with special guests from the Fashun world; Professor Peter Lineham talks about the tragedy with Mike; Jenna brings in some books that help our perspective; and Natural Ange is doing what she can to help you grieve. Hard to know what to say, so we're looking to music for solace.
Minimal shit talk from Mookie, Buzzy and Benny as they fumble around with seven inches all night, nothing particularly new, mostly old shit, but fuck me if the Cry Now, Cry Later comps don't go hard as eh. Remember when black metal bands insulted each other in their liner notes? We sure do.
