On today's show I am joined by my pal Bikyu to give a very broad overview of pop music from Taiwan/T-Pop. Bikyu provides some insights as to how the pop music of Taiwan has responded to various sociopolitical climates, diaspora, and indigenous language revitalisation. If you want to delve deeper into Bikyu's selections, they have curated a larger playlist on Spotify here. Bikyu has also provided reading material for some context! Thanks to Living Goodness, The Tuning Fork and Auckland City of Music for supporting Morning Glory <3
Kia ora! Today is mostly a sad show - expect Cindy Lee, Weyes Blood, Burning Star and Double Virgo. Pleased to play a new release from Awning - 'Inside Day' off the new My Friend Dog EP. Thanks as always to Progear and the Tuning Fork for letting us MG hosts play buzzy tunes on a weekday morning.
New music today from CRYER, plus a couple of ravey tunes for those who like speedy techno.
I was also joined by Andre of HEAVY CHEST(solo/unplugged) in the studio ahead of the band's Tāmaki show at The Tuning Fork(shoutout) this Saturday! Chur and thank you for playing some unreleased tunes for us also :~)
