Sweetman Podcast: Episode 41 – Nadia Reid
Welcome to episode 41 of Sweetman Podcast brought to you by Phantom Billstickers. A chat with singer/songwriter Nadia Reid. I guess I slowly caught on to Nadia Reid – along with most others – when I finally got around to hearing her debut album. What a record! Amazing. Sublime. Sensational. Mesmerising. All that.

Tiny Ruins & Hamish Kilgour: Hurtling Through (ep)
Tiny Ruins & Hamish Kilgour Hurtling Through (ep) Flying Nun Records This is a smart move – for both.

Laura Marling The Powerstation, Auckland Friday, October 23 Laura Marling’s latest album, Short Movie, is fantastic – but you could be worried she didn’t think so, barely choosing from it to fill her first headlining gig in New Zealand.

Robert Scott: The Green House
Robert Scott The Green House Flying Nun Records There’s a quiet charm to Robert Scott’s best work – a song, such as Little Bird, one of just several on this, his latest solo album. It’s deceptively simple, yet could only have come from the heart and mind of Scott. He’s managed his time between supporting […]Archive
