Absolute chaos around the radio station with the university demolition/rebuild and the laneway site set up making access and parking not very practical. So rode in on my bike and raided the bFM vinyl and CD racks and played a few off the computer system as well. If you liked Border Radio in the 1980's, you're going to like this.
Today on your bFM Breakfast: Rachel and Sherry are holding the fort while Tess has a day off; David Slack says wash your hands, techno legend Ritchie Hawtin has a chat ahead of Beacon Festival this weekend, Troy has some fresh new vinyl for us, and Amelia fills us in on the 95bFM Top Ten. Big chur to that.
The Retreat team are one Sam down this week. Jenn brings in some of her birthday vinyl, Rob Bollox covers off sports and the Emmerdale review, and Kris calls upon the bFM listenership to tell the hosts what they are wearing in the month of October. Thanks to Cassels brewing co for their delicious (and award winning) milk stout this week, accompanied by a song from one of the team's favourite Ōtautahi exports.
Fukumodo reviews his experience staying at the backpackers last week in 'Overnight Bedroom Review' - Tyler Baikie reviews Plate Up in signature WikiHow fashion - and a peak into the bFM Archives looks at Breakfast's Lawline segment.
Musically, we head to Auckland's Mainstreet venue where The Narcs and Coconut Rough perform a few live goodies - Outsider Music takes us to Edmonton in Canada - and Corey's chucked in a couple tracks you won't hear elsewhere (unless you've got them on Vinyl!)
This afternoon we had a great gest session featuring Jaimie Webster Haines spinning some favourites and exlcusives to warm up the dancefloor for her Body Electric session with @CMJCT featuring Joyce, Brenda Russell, Marlena Shaw and of course Nathan Haines! Zoot tells us about his upcoming gig at the MPS School fair.
The return of Kirk James (@KirkJames13) dragging out a freshly stacked bag of boogie vinyl, joining Apera and Jubt to spin some dusty discoveries. Enjoy!
RIP to the great Renée Geyer! To mark her passing we play an interview from a few years back and a few favourites from her backcat, also RIP David Crosby, and spin a bag of vinyl classics covering jazz, highlife, street-soul, kwaito, gospel, boogie, disco, jazz/MPB, zamrock and the rest!
Special guest this week is Kọla Ògundípẹ AKA @OoGuN of the Base institution Drunk Elephant Sound who takes of a joyride through his record collection from Sabres of Paradise, J Saul Kane, Horace Andy, Moody Boys - vinyl selection - the crackles are the seasoning!
