The Show: Ruff, ruff goes the beagle to the terrier…

One of those shows where we somehow got the gentle ambient field recordings of birds, rainfall, running water and accompanying beats (thank you HAAST – HĀWEA, SODA LITE, THOMAS L. BIGELOW, MASAHIRO TAKAHASHI and OV PAIN) to somehow co-exist with the more crunchier numbers (looking at you HAVENS and BLACK DRESSES). Plus all sorts of other things in between (like the welcome returns of KITTIN, THE HACKER and DESTROYER). #somuchgoodmusicnotenoughtimeforitall

And on with the show…

The Show: Macrodata Refinement

Starting the show off at a blistering pace with a track from the new Blair Parkes album “over board”, available right now on bandcamp.

You can still listen to the recent Karyn Hay interview with Blair over at the RNZ website, wherein he talks about his favourite local tunes and the seemingly arbitrary, fluid nature of the names of Christchurch suburbs, long a bugbear at The Joint mansions.

Say, say, say, say summat to me

On an unrelated note, we can’t help imagining that Caroline Polachek is attempting a broad Yorkshire accent during at least part of her latest song.
