A packed show, whakarongo mai for Stage Direction with the Ratbag crew discussing How to Art,on at Basement Theatre later this week. Later Peter Lineham calls in for That's The Spirit, and then Erase Everything are in the studio to discuss new music and their gig at Whammy on Thursday.
This week's show featured some of my favourite releases of 2025 alongside some bFM bangers, new and old. Froid Dub, Jimi Tenor, Romero Bros, The CUSP, Smackos & Dim Garden and Rude Boy Rupert were just some of the artists we played. Part 2 of my 2025 faves will air next week,
Real people recordings. Art Brut. Disabled, neurodiverse & exquisite. Folk music cos its made by folks. Communities, ceremonies & field recordings. The unconventional, traditional & glorious ordinary.
The "Fuck School" special, Mookie, Buzzy and Benny jam two hours of punk shit with Mookie and Buzzy handling the stuff from abroad while Benny jams all NZ punk/metal
Mookie, Buzzy and Benny go through two hours of late night heavy bullshit, with some shit talk, miscellaneous drop ins to say hello and the usual sample ridden garbage.
