Hello! The second part recorded (first) on September 7th, due to somebody going on holiday. Music! It's all here and it's loud. From the surprise reunification of Oasis to several stunning local shows, music is a happening thing. We are the first people in history to ask "How can a city be dying but its music scene be so good?" Works I think we cited and if we didn't we should have: Lucy Patané - HIJA DE RUTA Ebony Lamb Michael Logie Alphabethead Dateline - It's All Downhill From Here Castleclif...
Hello! Part one of a two-part session recorded September 7th. The DNC has wrapped and now we watch the polls. The part played in art by the unsexy drugs. Auckland's true crime phenomenon. And the dark Russian interference money flooding the podcast world. Bumper music: Cave In - Waiting on Love Mark Lanegan Band - Methamphetamine Blues Gillian Welch & David Rawlings - Lawman Living Legends, Del the Funky Homosapien & Statik Selektah - The Return (feat. Aesop Rock, Blu, Chino XL, Kool Sav...
Hi! We're back to discuss everything; drug lollies, the Olympics, riots in the UK, and everything that's happened stateside since our last episode from the Trump missassination to Kamala fever.

Bumper music; MonoNeon - Full Circle (feat. Mavis Staples) Alain Johannes - Not On This Earth Elbow - things I’ve been telling myself for...
Hi, How about a few drinks? NZ Police and their alcohol policy goals. UK politics gets milky. Killer whales at the party. We've had a budget. Our bright collective future. And Trump guilty. Bumper music; Sasami - Honeycrash The Kunts - Rishi Sunak is a Rat-Faced C**t D:Ream - Things Can Only Get Better Olivia Rodrigo - bad idea right?

The campus protests and Macklemore. And dating advice. Bumper music; Justice - Generator Tallah - The Hard Reset Lesbiandrama - Muchacha Desquiciada Macklemore - Hind's Hall
Hi, Long weekend; long episode. The rolling atrocity and spiritual debt of the Gaza genocide. Chocolate eggs made it through the Red Sea after all. Sydney Sweeney as the mysterious lightning rod of all discourse. And the government embarks on brutal mathematics to enact the methods they were elected on, even though the purposes may have slipped out of reach. Bumper music; The Afghan Whigs - The Temple Hello Mary - Rabbit Ty Segall - Eggman Alain Johannes Trio - Making a Cross (live) The Dandy Wa...
Hi! Prime Minister Chris Luxon gets in hot water by smashing the Free Money button in his office, and has since promised not to do it again. Charging the country to rent his own apartment off himself is prima facie obscene, but could just be the least corrupting things about having multi-millionaire landlord rule makers. Meanwhile the sexy working class are putting in strenuous, trans-tasman scuba diving shifts at the cocaine retrieval factory in order to get their daily bread. And the imminent ...
Hello there, Recording Waitangi Day Eve 2024. Ardern is married, Invercargil sex toy thief identified, Wānaka burger options in the balance.

Hello, Chaos as hip hop and municipal sanitation issues collide in Lower Hutt. The grand tradition of New Years Eve munted rambling collides with the Prime Minister. Dumbass racists collide with the official status of languages. We both collide with Saltburn. One year collides with another, cheer and goodwill collide with all. Bumper music; HEALTH - DEMIGODS Peter Gabriel - I/O Issey Cross - Bittersweet Goodbye Skepta - Love Me Not (feat. Cheb Rabi & B Live)...
Hi, The National-ACT-NZ First coalition agreement(s?) are signed and New Zealand has a government. These foundational documents may promise things the parties have no intention of providing, contain contradictory wording, not add up, but what's new. We went and saw Napoleon in the theatres. To some it's a drama, to others a comedy, and to horses a horror. And a ceasefire-of-sorts in Gaza in even parts celebrated and lamented. Technical note, there's a weird thing going on with the RSS update fre...
Hi The negotiations to create the next coalition of chaos are apparently underway. What hydra might emerge from it, and what referenda on foundational indigenous rights issues in NZ look like if certain folks get their way? UK politics remains unstable with the Home Secretary fired, and the familiar face of regretful Brexitdoer David Cameron reentering cabinet. Bumper music; Chat Pile - Why The Dandy Warhols - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald Katie Kim - Day is Coming Supergroove - Scorpio Gir...
HI hi, Bit of a long one so let's get right to the point; An election occurred but we still don't know precisely the outcome. Has an incoming government ever looked more like they're limping home? A crackdown on gangs / looking mid is coming. The National party in a nutshell. Dan went to a gig. And the war in Palestine and it's meta discussion online - both horrors to behold. Bumper music; Charly Bliss - I Need A New Boyfriend Happy Mondays - Step On Black Grape - Shake Your Money The Gutter Twi...
Why hello, It's election time and another debate has befallen us. My, how the strategic winds have changed since our prior episode.

Hi, National's most please-shut-up MP applies for a medal for services to the grocery shop. All as both gender and vegetables form broad, misunderstood, contentious political footballs moving to centre stage this election. Politics occurs; both vote-based and nonvote-based varieties. Also Covid-19 - insomuch as it was a successful and powerful central government programme - is over. What about that eh. Bumper music; Pixey & Tayo Sound - Daisy Chain Speedy Ortiz - Scabs DJ Shadow - Rocket Fue...
Hi, Major industrial action in the city of stars. What does our entertainment and labour universe look like in the seasons to come? An election looms with the major parties nodding along or frowning seriously at the tone set by the minors. Retail politics is confusing. Eurodance is back, in parody form . Bumper music: Carly Rae Jepsen - Anything To Be With You Killer Mike - Spaheship Views Kyle Gordon - Planet of the Bass (feat. DJ Crazy Times & Ms Biljana Electronica) Big Thief - Vampire Em...
Hey we're right on time. Massive Attack's Mezzanine is 25 years old this year, and while at this age it is now eligible for lower car insurance premiums, at the time of its release things were much less predictable. Aforementioned article. Tory Whanau, who is Wellington's mayor, had a spot of bother on the fizz one evening, but whom amongst us has any ounce of grace? And they found cocaine in the White House, and we talk about Nutrigrain. Bumper music; Bodega - Doers Noizu - Summer 91 Chris Corn...
Hello once again. In the news this hour; where we've been like it's your business, the Russians are revolting a ha ha ha, big big Invercargil news, Kate Hawkesby vs a normal holiday, the National Party's AI dreams and the federation of Taylor Swift fans who have the power to end life as we know it. Bumper music; Charly Bliss - You Don't Even Know Me Any More Sting - Russians Taylor Swift - Anti-Hero
Hi! Dave's back from Japan which is interesting. We talk assassination, trains, nuclear power and the mythic power of heavy industry conglomerates.

hi! Richie Hardcore gets a form of Women's Day comeuppance but is he the real problem or is it the forces that engage him? Yes. Banks take a beating. Luxon's losing war of attrition.
