RNZ Feature: Songs Banned By Radio
I’m usually on RNZ once a month to have a chat about some new albums. But now and then I present features on the show too. Last year I had nearly an hour to explore the music of George Harrison. I followed that up with a chat about Ringo Starr and played some of his best Beatles drum bits […]Archive

Stubs: # 229 – Nick Cave, Wellington, 2019
I’ve now seen Nick Cave four times – in four different spaces with different line-ups. That’s as it should be – different shows, reflecting different times.

The Vinyl Countdown # 287
Dolly Parton, Great Balls of Fire (1979) Dolly, Dolly, Dolly…I’ve probably bashed everyone over the head with Dolly Parton lately – listening to almost everything she’s ever done (some 63 studio albums) for a recent chat on the radio about how Dolly is great. But here’s the funny thing, I own precisely two Dolly LPs. A cheap TimeLife compilation with the obvious hits […]Archive
