It's the 50th Anniversary of @JamesBrownMusic 's seminal Payback LP so you know we have to rinse a few favourites from that masterpiece - it's the vibe: vibration! The Swap Meet are soul searching again with Kirk and Jubt rummaging around in the crates for something old something new (but let's face it mainly old).
Oto and Jaycee played 2 hours of music by Asian artists from Aotearoa for the final week of New Zealand Music Month and chatted with Alisa Xayalith, former frontwoman of The Naked and Famous.
Featuring What's Up with Leader of the Opposition Chris Hipkins, a chat with Dan Weetman of The Black Seeds about the first-time-pressing of their seminal album On The Sun on vinyl, an interview with Lucola and The Aural Emporium. Whakarongo mai nei!
