This week we talk to a very special guest about some very special music, we riot at the funky ballet, and a combination of naiveté, mondegreen, and an egregious typographical error cause Amelia to play a song with offensive lyrical content, have a panicked realization, and subsequently erase the above event from the historical record. (I cut a track out of this podcast, can you hear the edit points?)
Joined on the airwaves by Philip Kelly i tēnei rā! Flicking through an array of genres... from Djrum, Herbie Hancock, and Bobbi Humphrey, to Broadcast, Young Marble Giants, and a Brian Eno - David Byrne collab.

Murray 'Legend' Cammick stops in to talk Iggy Pop's pajamas and his latest photography exhibition, AK 75-85.
“I tried to document the music and the scene as a ‘fly-on-the-wall’ documentary photographer. You either contribute to the myths/bullshit of rock n roll or you try and show some of the reality of the grind of touring and promotion. I recall being the designer at Craccum in 1976 and being delighted that our music editor John Robson came back from a press conference with a photo of Frank Zappa drinking a cup of tea. How sublimely un-rock n roll!”
Today on the show we are joined by National MP Simon Bridges who talks us through all the drama at the opening of our 52nd Government. Lachlan speaks with Steven Winter from Auckland University Politics Department on the week’s events in the house. We are then joined by Dr Liam Martin from the school of cultural and social studies at the University of Victoria, talking about the developments at Waikeria Prison, and Harry speaks with Professor John Hewson on his thoughts that the current global political economic scene is riskier and more unpredictable than any other time since the late 1960s, ahead of his speech at the University of Auckland tomorrow night. Finaly Ben takes us back to this day in history in 1989 when the Berlin Wall met its demise.
