We made it!! Tis the final show of 2020 and Sam goes out with a bang with a mixture of disco, city pop, funk, soul and more. There is also time for new music from The Avalanches, BadBadNotGood and Burial.
Mara TK's "Bad Meditation" is due out May 7th, and we have a sneak listen to the whole thing. Go and preorder at https://maratk.bandcamp.com/album/bad-meditation
A couple of technology management issues during an otherwise pretty cool show. Interview with Miles Calder about his album Autopilot Life and accompanying tour - and a whole bunch of songs from the U-Turn Collective, sent to me from Arizona on an actual record. Awesome tunes too. Do some discovering.
I tēnei ata kei te Hōtaka Parakuihi: The hilarious duo Two Hearts (Laura Daniel and Joseph Moore) come up to the studio to chat about their show in the NZ International Comedy Festival, We're Pregnant and the Baby is Music; Jenna talks us through the Ockham NZ Book Award categories and nominees in Loose Reads; and Justine answers all your work woe questions in Red Dead Redemption! Whakarongo mai!
This week's show featured new music from Troy Kingi, Durand Jones & The Indications and Japanese Breakfast. Gareth Thomas also joins Sam in the studio to talk about his new single "Word's That Don't Come Back."
