Music, Movies & Madness

Our sweet sixteenth show! And what a bunch of sweet albums as we rock with The Cribs and The XX, get funky with ‘Dr’ Lonnie Smith and chill with Richard Hawley. On the film front it was a year for Sci-Fi as we review Avatar, District 9 and Moon while Ian’s chick pea flat bread recipe is so outrageously simple, it's outta this world…enjoy!

We take a break from our ‘year in review’ and look at song’s that need to be retired! Join us as we rigorously and critically analyse songs which really have reached (passed?) their use by date.

The year is 2015 and we’ll be covering albums from Cage the Elephant, Courtney Barnett, Father John Misty and the legendary, if perhaps a bit of an unknown- Steven Wilson. On the flicks side, Glen sticks with his Aussie theme by covering The Dressmaker, David takes us to Mars and back and Martyn tells us why the Fantastic Four was not so Fantastic….enjoy!

A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bam-boom!!! It’s 1957- the early days of rock n roll. We have an A-Team line-up for you starring Little Richard, Ray Charles, Gene Vincent and The Everley’s. And once you’ve spent your last dime at the juke box, join us at the drive-in where we’ll be screening such classics as The Bridge on the River Kwai, The Incredible Shrinking Man and the not so tuiti-fruity....Peyton...

Turns out that 2007 was a jam-packed year for both great film and music! We review kiwi greats Liam Finn and Phoenix Foundation while also acknowledging classic artists such as Ian Hunter, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. Movie wise, we look at Eagle vs Shark, Juno, Death Proof and Hot Fuzz.

Joining us to share a bit about himself and celebrate the albums of 1996 we have Melbourne based DJ Mr. Dom Tupu on the show this week (aka DJ's Blacksmith, Ob Fuscate & Hugh Mane). Another jam-packed show with everything from Eva Cassidy to 2Pac, Faithless to Kiwi one-album wonder Superette and Swedish rock sensation The Cardigans .

Dig out your flares, piercings and make-up cos we’ve made it to double digits and landed dead smack at the intersection of Disco, Punk and Glam Rock! We have ELO, Fleetwood Mac and the Sex Pistols for you plus more. Mind the step as we climb over the Bee Gee’s and Sat Night Fever! It’s time to rock- late 70’s style!

From the tranquil and lofty heights of the Himalaya to the grit of British Gangsters, we have it all here this week in our movie reviews. On the Album front, auto-tunes has arrived as has Britney and friends- but you won't find any of that here....we have The Beta Band, New Radicals, Fastball and Air.....as Glen say's "it's a quality product'- well, sort-of! Enjoy!

Episode VIII- IT'S A TRAP! It’s early May and Earth rejoices one of the year’s strangest celebrations, MAY THE FOURTH. Who would think a dad joke pun would have so much traction and capture geekdom’s attention like no other? One would think that there is no more to say about the saga that rules them all! But no… Led by a storm trooper known as TK28916, also known as TK TAWA, the plucky crew of the...

Tango in the Night with us as we explore the year that was 1987. From The Lost Boys and Princess Bride to Robocop, Barfly and the film that started it all for Peter Jackson. We also have Whitesnake, Fleetwood Mac, Midnight Oil and more....it's all in here but be careful not to get 'Rickrolled' by Glen!

1970 is upon us, and while musically, we were absolutely spoilt for choice, sadly the same could not be said for movies that year. Oh well, as someone once said- you win some, you lose some! We do however review a fab selection of albums and tracks for your listening pleasure- from (Sir) Elton and Joni Mitchell to Free and Fairport Convention. Enjoy!

Yeah Yeah! 1991 reviewed! We did it! Wasn't easy, but we did it! Plug in, put ya feet up and come with us as we 'Alan Rickman' the plot of Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, pass the mic to Marc & Harry on lead vocals and jam with Metallica and Rage Against the Machine. And listeners, please help us figure out when it comes to metal, what actually is HEAVY? Enjoy!

1982- what a year! From Tron to Tootsie; Jean-Michel Jarre to Kiwi legends Split Enz! It’s all in here… plus a bit of nostalgia especially for Kiwi listeners who remember the days of Goodnight Kiwi on the tele! We hope you enjoy listening to our trip back to 1982 as much as we did making it. Enjoy!

We're feeling groovy 'cos it's 1967- the summer of love! Join us as we unravel the times which were 'a-changing' and discover that not all albums are created equal!

Come join in for a yarn in 2006- we have pirates, kung fu and Razorlight plus babyYoutube has just turned one- so much happening, so much to discuss!

Come join in for a yarn in 1986- we have jet planes, Ozzy Osborne and the Queen is Dead (not really)- so much happening, so much to discuss!
