Bygones is out on October 4th. Hear tracks by Teremoana Rapely, Queen Suticase, Swans and Letta Mbulu. Oh, are we finished already? Wherever does the time go?
Epic CSNY version of Southern Man from the awesome live album 4 Way Street to start the show off and then a musical stumble through Son Volt, Holly Williams,newly discovered Zoe Wilcox, some Johnny Cash spoken word and a nice latin vibe through Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros and Calexico. The badly spelled, found in a bargain bin with a truck on the cover Defibulators turn out all right. Reb Fountain, Kendal Elise bring us Brighton and Papukura respectively, The Eastern unleash the rugby league club and the show finishes with a brand new song from Dirtwire.
Charlie explores the devotional music of Alice Coltrane/Swamini Turiyasangitananda on today's BTG segment, and Adel finishes off the show with a Friday Favourite that he believes is one of the greatest pop songs ever written.
Big love the the fambly out there this morning, awesome to be back in studio. Had Laurelle in for the second hour with some more ambient and dubby tunes for your morning! Started off the show nice and easy slow with some Alice Coltrane and finished the first hour with some slow groove.
100% music from Aotearoa this morning. Can never fit 'em all in unfortunately - few recurring themes this time round. Bit of a chaotic start and finish, hope you caught the last of it live! Had a lovely morning with you.
Nice to be back in Studio with you. Kicking off with Docteur Nico, through to Momoko Kikuchi, Patti Austin, Fatback Back and finishing on a high with an old one from Bougie Soliterre.
