Today on your bFM Breakfast: The sun is coming out to play and it's feeling a little warmer, must be all this NZ Music Rachel's pouring out; National Party Deputy Leader, Paula Bennett, catches up with Rachel about some serious topics, this week; Rob makes Rachel feel a little bonkers; and Michael Hurst joins us in studio to talk about An Iliad. And now it's time to go and get a little bit of sun, eh?
Kris and Rob do a 100% NZ music show, with Kris managing to play multiple records at the wrong speed and up the wrong way.
Fin from 16 Tun drops in to run the boys through a Paradise Pale Ale, an Oyster Stout, and the Big Fish IPA and finds himself quized at length on all things beer.
In all things Emmerdale, Kris and Rob discuss starting a petition to get Rob an interview with one of the Dingles.
We are visited by Kerry Buchanan, Auckland record retail stalwart, writer, and local legend. We cover topics such as Auckland record stores, how corrupt the charts were (and why that sometimes was no bad thing), local clubs, the six o'clock swill, the Superbad column in the Real Groove magazine, and how sourcing music has changed since the 80's. We also pay tribute to Dr. John, RIP.
It was a huge week for new tunes, with drops from Nick Cave, Angel Olsen, Danny Brown and more. Plus Paddy from Pitch Black comes in to take us through their new album, Third Light.
We jumped back to last weeks Drive Island set from imugi for About Town this week + had a listen to some new tracks from Borrowed CS, Floating Points & Vagabon. All this plus a chat to CHAII about Whammyfest, Northern Bass & Fat Freddys Drop.
