Thanks to Gokula Music

This week's show featured new music from Troy Kingi and DIIV. 

SPOOKY! On this special Halloween edition of Platos, the boys are joined by returning guest Joel Tobeck; Kris plays scary music; Rob does sports and TV; and after all of that, they take the opportunity to do some broadcasting from the bFM balcony with a Hallertau in hand. 

This week on Sages our wizards are getting weird! Instead of a year, the magic spell has flung them into a strange timeline where every day is Halloween. To celebrate, they're playing the eeriest of tracks from only the spookiest of artists, including Witch Post, clipping., and Thee Golden Geese. They also share some scary stories about all the terrifying things to ever happen on Halloween. See you in 1981!

Whakarongo mai!

For Travelling Tunes this week, Dr Kirsten Zemke yarns with Johnny about Brazilian psychedelia. A cultural and musical movement that sprouted in the late 1960s, which combined traditional Brazilian rhythms like samba and bossa nova with psychedelic rock, pop, and Avant-garde. The lyrics featured irony, surreal poetry, and social commentary. Featuring:

Gal Costa - Cinema Olympia (1969)

This morning we had Out Of Luck in the studio for Fancy New Band !! 

Out of Luck is a pop/punk band that was formed in 2021 and lead by songwriting powerhouse Reef Brazendale. 

In the past five years the band has pumped out 4 albums, the lasted being 'Please leave the tv on!' which came out early this month and luckily for us the band played 3 of the tracks live this morning!

Lily Greig is a Tāmaki-based artist currently working across sculpture and installation, while orientating the work itself within this cultural framework of mythology. Recalling these archetypal characters from mythology itself, as well as psychoanalysis. Bringing together these various modes of meaning making that are often found within these very texts, and the objects that arise within.

Greig's work Doorscape (formula for not dying again) is currently included in Artscape Aotearoa's Chartwell Trust New Commissions group exhibition, Group Admits Mistake, along with fellow artists Lolani Dalosa, Ken Faber, Ton Ray, and Rangi White. In Doorscape (formula for not dying again) Greig displays a new sculptural installation that almost embodies a scene like structure. Creating an alternative reality to that of the gallery space. A white freestanding door, embellished with imagery of demons, and a wax casted boy lying before it.  Leaving viewers witness to an aftermath of sorts.

Here, the work itself calls out to various texts and imagery. The most prominent calling out to that of the Duat, an Egyptian netherworld where the dead must pass through the gates guarded by demons. But this scene of sorts is not linear in its story telling, it also speaks to the world of fairytales and fables. Specifically in relation to the growing nose of the figure laying before the door - a nod to Pinocchio, a suggestion of lie. Pointing the audience towards a mode of looking beyond its very reality. Asking them to ponder at the larger fable at play, a story with no fixed ending, submerged in temporality. 

Maya caught up with Lily about the exhibition as well as her overall practice.

October 30th, Halloween Eve... This can only mean that some spookiness is in order... Sofie starts off this spooky morning spotlighting the various projects of Leon Michels, in celebration of the new El Michels Affair single, 'Oh, Medaase!'.
