Kia ora bFM angels. With many injuries to the morning glory starting XI, Eli the substitute was here to play for 2 hours. 💞 Welcome to spring.
We started the show off with French goodness Papooz. Dabbled in the Future Islands side project The Snails. Kicked the show into another dimension with some Loefah. Rolled through some Puerto Rican punk by Los Saicos. Then threw it way back with some Car Seat Headrest and Modest Mouse. I even stole a song from Stinky grooves (Nekta). And closed out with a big ~~Remix of the Day~~ from Vegyn.
Spotify (yes slightly problematic) playlist for your convenience.
