Bloody heck, a meeting of two great minds on this weeks show, Rob Bollox and New Zealand's only qualified saucier Oscar tuck into a sauce made with last week's special ingredient...peas.
Kris, having spent the morning picking up records for International Record Store Day, throws down a few new purchases. And as always, Rob covers off S-S-S-Spppppoooorts and his highly aclaimed Emerdale review.
Rachel brings you a diverse selection of tracks from the likes of So Laid Back Country China, Palm, Laura Jean, The Strokes, The Flaming Lips and Ty Segall. Plus some classic rookie mistakes.
Show starts with a few old and familiar tunes from REM, The Hangdogs, Pixies doing Neil Young kind of thing, then dips into plenty of brand new tunes mainly from out of South Carolina thanks to a sampler I found on-line. Cool bands like Kid Trails, She Returns from War and Slow Motion Cowboys. Then disaster strikes!! An attempt to get fruity with the '70's vibe goes awry about halfway through the show - but stick in there 'cos it comes back with more new tunes from the likes of Late Night TV some lovely local stuff from Kendall Elise and Emily Fairlight, a Lone Justice blast from the past and Star Anna who I haven't played for a while. SO yeah, nice show with a messy interlude. Aroha mai !
Today on your bFM Breakfast: Everyone's feeling a little croaky but nothing some good Breakfast can't fix; Rob's talking dreams, and we're really getting into the deep stuff on The Mind Trench; Petra from the Eastern Women's Refuge comes in to talk about their epic fundraiser line up, and who doesn't love a good raffle?; and the Dance Plant Collective pop up to talk to Rachel about a few events they've got coming up including First Thursday's and Tūrama Festival. We made it through Wednesday with coffee, tunes, chats and great segues.
No Sam, no Oscar, no Pearl, no Finn....noooooo worries!
Rob and Kris get locked in The Retreat, covering off all that is good in Sports, Emmerdale, Beer, and Music. The boys are joined by Sarah to cover off a low key beer review, thanks to 16 Tun, and Sam joins the boys over the phone to analyse the cricket situation. Thanks to all of those who text in with such kind words!
Today on your bFM Breakfast: Aw, what a beautiful sunrise streaming into the Breakfast studio this morning; Rob enlightens us on some pyschological traits that we all seem to possess; the Prime Minister's on the line to catch up with some of the politics that we've seen in the last month; and Show Me Shorts Film Festival Director, Gina Dellabarca, pops in to talk us through watching 2000 short films and what made the line up.
