It's a Thursday morning and we try and fail to have some Political Commentary (thank youuu, technology), Jim Nothing swings by the studio for a kōrero about In The Marigolds, Tim wades through the media soup in Mediabatt, and Natural Ange is here! Whakarongo mai nei.
Classic blues women Odetta, Big Mama Thornton and Sister Rosetta Tharpe alongside new folk, new releases, Nick Cave's "Conversion" and hiphop meets bluegrass in Gangstagrass, "radical desegregation of roots music".
Blind Mango Chutney eases us in with some laidback Paul Desmond and finishes with the innovative pianist Joanne Brackeen. In between he has guitarist Alex Pipes in the studio to introduce us to his album "Square One", plus a bunch of other cool jazz, of course.
This week was a special one - We had Mary Lattimore & Julianna Barwick up for My Morning Mixtape ahead of their double headliner show tomorrow night with Roy Montgomery. We revisited live songs from Yuck at Laneway 2012 and played a ton of new songs including ones from Stef Chura, Sampa The Great & Flying Lotus.
