RNZ Reviews: April 2018
Once a month or so I have a chat on RNZ on their Afternoons show with Jesse Mulligan. These things start – randomly and stop in much the same way. I hope to keep doing this. For a while at least. I think I started in December of 2015, so a couple of years into […]Archive

RNZ Feature: Music Feuds
I’m usually on RNZ once a month to have a chat about some new albums. But the other day I got the call up to present a Music Feature for the Afternoons show. The topic was Music Feuds – and so I discussed The Beatles/Yoko Ono, Simon & Garfunkel, Marvin Gaye’s divorce from Anna Gordy […]Archive

My RNZ Album Reviews for 2017
For the last couple of years I’ve been turning up once a month or so and reviewing a couple of albums on RNZ’s Afternoon Show with Jesse Mulligan. A couple of times there’s been a fill-in host, but mostly it’s been me with Jesse. He’s nice to talk with about music – he seems to […]Archive

The Ghost of Electricity: War Stories by Jon McLeary # 184 Matinee Idle
