Best opening line of any song this year.

There’s no podcast of today’s show, which is a shame as it’s not everyday we are serenaded live in a horse truck in an earthquake zone with a ukelele version of 99 Luftballons by a lady who hails from the same part of Germany as Nena herself.

The lady strumming and singing live in the RDUnit was Silke Hartung, host of Freak The Sheep, newsreader at 95bFM and first time visitor to Christchurch. We look forward to having the invitation reciprocated, so The Joint can perform live on the Auckland airwaves (Fraserhead on cowbells, The Herb Whisperer on Stylophone Beatbox).

Because of the absence of audio evidence we’re declaring this the greatest show we’ve ever done, safe in the knowledge no-one can prove otherwise.

The lost classic playlist in full:

• DJ Shadow – Let’s get it (bass, bass, bass)
• Deep Space Orchestra – Vanishing point (Marcello Napoletano house mix)

Evidence to back up our on-air claim that the Tonetta videos were unmissable. For the full details of Tonetta’s background we refer you to Vice and Something Awful

Hard to believe it’s five months since we’ve been on air. Our last show was the Saturday before the February 22 earthquake. Damn nice to be back.

RDU is now running shows from the fabulous RDUnit (a converted horse truck) and for the moment is based at the Colombo Street / Wordsworth Street corner in Sydenham. The RDU programme has been rejigged which means we’re still starting midday on Saturdays but now finishing at 1.30pm. Check the new RDU website for full details of shenanigans.

Great fun rocking an old skool mic too. Which might explain random sound levels. And dropouts. And lack of attention to mixing. Ahem.

• Beat Connection – In The Water (Jamie Blanco’s Balearic Beat Mix)
• Mantronix –  Hardcore Hip Hop (Nme Mix)
