Radio New Zealand said "Fuck Fuck Buttons", apparently.
In light of the fact that there will be 33% less of The Joint for the foreseeable future, we’ll increase our on-line only content to try and redress the balance with a series of exclusive (add heavy air quotes around that last word) mixes, interviews, other podcasts and assorted oddities.
First up we’re boldly going to go where Radio New Zealand fears to tread. David Klein is both a friend of The Joint and the Wednesday Drive host on RDU. He also occasionally moonlights as a contributor to Music 101, the additional income helping him to indulge his secret penchance for chinchilla fur accessories.
Only once has the national radio station declined to broadcast one of his interviews – the one he conducted with Ben Power from the magnificent Fuck Buttons. We’re sure David explained to us at the RDU Christmas Party at Goodbye Blue Monday as to why his submission was returned to him, but we were paying more attention to trying to score another free pint of Bodgie Beer. However, we still agreed to post the item so it wasn’t lost forever.
Deano von Lounge discovers some hash resin in his rare vinyl grooves.
Deano von Lounge only makes it back to Christchurch once a year from Osaka, Japan so it’s our pleasure to have him play his most recently acquired vinyl classics and rareties.

It’s a small drop in an ever expanding ocean of Christmas compilations (“mix” does seem too professional a word for this collection of tunes), but after ten years it seemed as good a time as any to add another 2 hours to the sum total of festive mp3 collections.
You can play or download it below with total peace of mind at whatever family gathering you have planned today, it’s guaranteed elderly relative friendly (well, apart from The Toilet track and maybe The Rebel stuff).
If you don’t trust us help yourself instead to some presents from The Klaxons and Gorillaz, who are both releasing new material later today and / or Christmas Day UK time. In the case of former it’s a free download, in the case of the latter it’s an online stream only (unless you fork out to join the Sub Division Fanclub).
