Rachael talked to Bianca Rocca and Toya Webb about their show 'Working Title', on at the George Fraser Gallery. Theo was in studio and played some Korean experimental music from the Bulgasari community. He also played some commentry from John Waters, the director of Multiple Maniacs.
Music can be a pretty unifying force, especially for the geographically isolated. Kiran talks to Mikey about music critic David Keenan's first novel, This Is Memorial Device, which evokes this idea while portraying a fictional post-punk band in '70s-'80s small town Scotland.
Alex picks a show Mike's had on the brain for ages - the '70s crime drama Quarry. With an antihero whose story spans the Mekong to the Mississippi, Alex gets in behind to make some bold claims of quality.
Oto and Jaycee spoke with Tāmaki Makaurau singer-songwriter, Reia Guess, and played 2 hours of music by singer songwriters and dreampop artists from the Asian diaspora.
Tonight's show was actually entirely curated by bFM's own Samuel Harmony, who sent Oto and Jaycee, not just a playlist, but a stack of CDs and Casettes that he collected while he was in Indonesia as part of the New Zealand Delegation attending AXEAN Festival 2025. Whakarongo mai to experience 2 hours of Psych rock, folk, disco and more by Southeast-Asian artists playing at the festival!
