Holiday greetings from dr.Snikkers as we wrap this oddball year! I was reminded of, and have included in this episode, an Alan Watts reading of The Story of the Chinese Farmer — it seemed to suit the ups and downs, swings and roundabouts of 2021.
A long late lockdown though I almost preferred prerecording the shows during weekends; certainly helped when my baby boy arrived in October. bIG love to ZAMbO, Olly and Jon Bernais for stepping in to help while I adjusted to becoming a dad.
And, a HUGE thank you to Carlos [C-Lo] Avilés for another #legend year of the Sound of Sydney. It's been mesmerising hearing the sounds evolve over time. On behalf of Universal Harmony, sending love to all and trust that you'll soak in some vitamin D and top up your tally of smiles this summer!
It's our first inaugural Soup Night! Corey cooks up Nan's favourite vegetable soup in the bFM Kitchen after catching up with her after so many weeks. And we premiere a new bit with a new friend to the show: Susie's Time.
Outsider Music samples an upcoming album entirely a tribute to the mighty Casiotone suite of electionic music apparatus.
Chris and Taylor team up again for this week's show. Taylor once again puts down the dart and bids farewell to the dart board in the lounge to host the straight-up all kiwi music show. Featuring a bunch of good tunes and gorgeous tunes.
Thanks for tuning in to today's show – the loose theme is cosy indie rock, featuring new releases from Snowy Band, Fazed On A Pony and Jennifur. We also explore the wonderful staticy textures of Sparklhorse, and the new Naive Melodies compilation of Talking Heads covers – see my review here.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUDEBLOODS, This weeks show slayed SO HARD!!!
Apart from tyyyyyyyyte tuneage, I also tell a funny story about the time I almost got my tampon ripped out by an in sink waste disposal unit and get a suprise guest cameo voice message from Burzums, Varg Vikernes!!!
Show rating '9.5 Olympic gymnasts knocking out there front teeth at the beginning of a routine but still completeing the WHOLE THING SEEMLESSLY out of 10'
Apart from commiting the Cardinal sin, of repeating a song twice, all in all another luxurious romp throught the 'Grindviolence' countryside with your favourite chooser of hymnals from the devils praisebook herself...Morgana.
Shit yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
I have to give it a '6 really apologetic looking dog stares out of 10' this week, because I did play a song twice....it was a good song but!

'My Place' by Tweet, in response to "Reconciliation" and "Some hella divine essence of knowledge that will never fade" for the Emotional Request of the week (out to the numbers ending in 939 & 356)
A fucked up mix of oddities, tonight's show has quite a few live sets (notably Upsidedown Cross and Big Black) stacks of noisecore and hip-hop with samples delving into some religious mania etc.
