Lord, I cannot wait a single moment more…

nuck-caveToday’s episode features seven insights from Nicholas Edward Cave for us to reflect upon.

If these seven psalms get too heavy for you there’s lots of relief for you in the form of new cuts from Ben Woods, Fazerdaze, Motte, the legendary Dr Hitchcock, and many more.

The Show: Who killed the KLF?

Who indeed killed The KLF?

Spoiler alert: It wasn’t us. Honest.

But Chris Atkins might possibly know.

His new documentary “Who Killed the KLF?” irreverently chronicles the early lives of Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond, the formation of The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, how to make hit records, the evolution of The KLF, the pranks, the controversies, the art, and of course the burning of a million quid. Alan Moore appears and lovingly sums it up: “Everything was about confrontation, everything was a challenge.” Haven’t enjoyed a music doco this much in years…

The Show: This song is for you…

This is not a Christmas special.

It’s definitely NOT a Christmas special but we do start proceedings with THE FALL’S peerless version of JINGLE BELL ROCK. If you can handle that opening salvo you’ll be rewarded with many seasonal gifts such as a sneaky threesome from Otāutahi Christchurch label Club Unique, some dark synths from Distant Stars, beautiful Parisian electro pop via Il Est Vilaine plus too many others to name.

And on with the show…
