Dankeschön, Silke Hartung

A belated thank you to Silke Hartung (BFM’s Freak The Sheep host) for dropping into the show last Saturday and playing us some fresh ukelele.

Silke is a crazy lady.

Instead of going to Rarotonga for a beach holiday she decided to spend some time, and her birthday, in cold, pre-winter post-earthquake Christchurch. It might have something to do with her liking NZ music and wanting to see how the local scene was faring.

Despite me trying to distract her with questions about her hometown team FC Köln being relegated and selling Lukas Podolski to Arsenal, what tips she had for the Champions League final, and why she preferred Puma to Adidas she still managed to play an original tune for us. That’s class.

RIP Donna Summer (1948 – 2012)

No one did sultry like Donna Summer did. And teaming up with Giorgio Moroder was a stroke of genius. A real musical match made in heaven. “I Feel Love” is one of the all time classics.

If you ever wondered what we do when the microphones are switched off and the music is playing, this video for “Love To Love You Baby” from 1975 will give you an idea of our super smooth moves.

The sights and sounds of Saturations

Just in case we didn’t make ourselves clear on Saturday’s show (and listening to the playback we probably didn’t) the new Saturations album Runaway is now available to purchase over at Bandcamp for NZ$1 per track or $9.90 for all 10. Have a listen below:

Blair Parkes, Mr Saturations himself, has put together videos for three songs, one from the new album and two from last years self-titled EP. They have a permanent home over at NZIndieScene’s YouTube channel but no need to click and search – we’ve posted them below for your ease and comfort.

Radio Soulwax “Introversy” aka Trainspotter’s Delight

Listening to the TRAAMS track “Klaus” last week got me listening again to Soulwax’s “Nite Versions” album. And that led me to downloading the Radio Soulwax app. And that in turn got me listening to and watching “Introversy”. I must have been sleeping under a rock to have missed this first time round.

So here are 420 plus song introductions and accompanying animated album artwork. Good if you have a short attention span. Antagonising if you want to hear the whole track! You can’t help but love those Dewaele brothers can you?

Ed Muzik “A Song Falls in the Woods”

In case you missed it here’s the new video for Ed Muzik’s “A Song Falls In The Woods”.

Bit gutted because we were meant to be in the “audience” scene and finally get our 15 seconds of fame.

But we blew it.

Sorry Ed for not returning your calls. We weren’t listening. But your video is probably better for it.
