the goose flys through the night, visiting its empty nest and gliding upon the lake.
the swan sits on the lake and watches the goose, but only dances upon the surface of the chilled water, tense with its idea of the goose and the goose's nihilistic bombing of the tranquility of the night.
it shatters the peace in the most subtle of ways and cannot help itself not to.
the trout hide. citizens of a war torn era, a frenzy of activity. the day was over but its fight was not.
no foglights lit the night, no lights, none but the blurred gleam in the eye the goose.
It's hump day, so Rosetta and Milly have an absolutely stacked show for you lined up! E whai ake nei, coming up on the show: What's Up with Barbara Edmonds, Auckland Pride chats with Buckwheat, and a kōrero with Mikey Havoc about the Push Push reunion. Plus, we announce the bRave!! Whakarongo mai nei.
This edition of Swap Meet on 95bFM sees Oogun of Drunk Elephant Sound take the controls again.
We have to kick off with Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 (as he's just announched a show 30 May at the Auckland Town Hall), celebrate 40 years of Anita Baker's Rapture LP. From there the show journeys through Hammond organ jazz courtesy of Jimmy Smith & Wes Montgomery, the irresistible samba groove of birthday boy Jorge Ben, Zanzibari taarab rhythms from Rashid Makame, and the hypnotic desert blues of DJ Bamanan. Rail Band and Orchestra OK Jazz bring the golden age of Malian and Congolese rumba into the mix, while Ebo Taylor and the Souljazz Orchestra represent the broader Pan-African sweep that runs through the whole set.
Oogun also brings original productions - "Version for Version" and "Deep Architecture" teaming with OSC alias sitting alongside dub selections from Mungo's Hifi, Matty G and Jaffa Sound that give the show its NuZillund reggae tip. We spin Gang Starr to salute Preem's birthday, Ethiopian jazz textures arrive via Zena's "Kazanchis" (Brownswood) and AHC's "Push Me Pull You," and the cosmic soul of Nona Hendryx and Azimuth round things out. Press the button.
