Pretty casual approach this week, no rhyme or reason just The Budrows, The Weakerthans, 4 Gun Ridge, The Heavy Horses. Barry Saunders and Delaney Davidson, Kendal Ellise, The Echo Oh's, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Little Feat and a heap more including a test pilot for a show that's all double-barrelled first names, Emmy Lou Harris, Mary Lou Lord and Jessica Lee Wilkes...listen to this space.
Los Lobos then a bit of Stevie Ray mooshed in after ZZ Topp and we're off. The Swearengens and Jenny Don't and Spurs keep the country country as well as new friends, The Hacks & Slow Motion Cowboy. Beautiful new song from Ryan Bingham and a stunning rendition of Ode To Billy Joe with Bobbie Gentry live at the BBC. And in an exciting radio first -The Hood Gurus 'Hayride to Hell' parts one and two back to back!! Could only play the Johnnys after that. Heaps more as well of course.
Today on your bFM Breakfast: Another sunny day in Tāmaki Makaurau; Leisha gives us the low down on Christmas ham and the trusty ham bag; Rod Oram runs us through the UK Election and a few things closer to home; Troy's got some tasty selections From The Crate; and Amelia takes us through what went down on the Top Ten last night. Shoes are optional, apparently.
The last Thursday Morning Glory of 2019! Jenn plays you some sweet tunes from the likes of Blanco, Sidney Gish, Sui Zhen and the Sons and Daughters of Lite. She will be back in the new year after lots of sun, sand and food. >>>> Tschüss! Bis bald! <<<<
Absolute chaos around the radio station with the university demolition/rebuild and the laneway site set up making access and parking not very practical. So rode in on my bike and raided the bFM vinyl and CD racks and played a few off the computer system as well. If you liked Border Radio in the 1980's, you're going to like this.
Today on your bFM Breakfast: Ah, Wednesday, almost the end of the week, right Rach? Close enough; the Prime Minister dials in catch up with Rachel about some important topics in Aotearoa; Rob takes us through the creaky door on The Mind Trench; Charlotte Yates gives us a buzz from State Highway One to talk about Mansfield; another Short Player features bFM faves, Fimo; and Natural Ange is back to help us through the week.
