Kia ora whānau, thanks for tuning in to Tuesday Morning Glory. Two key words today: psychedelia and electronica – we cycle through the folky goodness of Dream Sitch and Snowy Band before the swirling ambience of Cousin and Yu Su later in the show.
Plenty of variety on the show this week, starts off with some oldies, JJ Cale, Michelle Shocked & Dwight Yoakam. Then into The Hacks, White Owl Red and Sleepy Eyes Nelson. Some interesting quite sleazy blues from Israel with Noya Sol, the fantastically dark and lonely Doc Feldman and The LD50 and a cool band called Late Night TV. Went for a rummage through station vinyl and found a Lone Justice LP and a Jason & The Scorchers EP - and unfortunately played them. Some parts of the '80's have not travelled well in this genre! Meanwhile back in the present century, locals Kendal Ellise & Emily Fairlight. A pretty groovy outing in spanish with Gatomajodo. Some Old '97's, Johnny Miles and The Kilometres , Slow Motion Cowboys then back into the station vinyl for The Triffids(!), live recordings of Marlon, Townes and Social Distirtion before returning to the station vinyl which redeemed itself with the very interesting Warumpi Band from Northern Territory Australia. There's more too of course.
Today on your bFM Breakfast: Bryce comes in hot with some Hirschfeld-fuelled political commentary; Delaney finally confronts Breakfast's saffron fiend; Troy's got another super special secret vinyl track to share; and Pearl bests a three-day bender all so you can have your Top Ten recap. Hope you're happy.
