This week on Fashun, our in-house en vaugue expert Penelope Noir chats about sunglasses, the history of the accessory, how to wear them, and whether you can wear them inside or at night! 

This week's show featured new music from Fabiana Palladino, Earthgang, Tyler, the Creator, the Bard of Bollox and more.

Blind Mango Chutney takes you on a journey around the jazz world, from Ramsey Lewis's take on South American classic 'Concerto de Aranjuez,' through the Head Hunters' brand of jazz-funk, to a Jessica Williams study of the Monk/Cootie Williams standard 'Round Midnight.' Top stuff as always.

We finish our chapter book plus chat with Robin from FleaBITE about their new album PIGGY OINK OINK and Peter from The Underwatermelon Man project about the 25th anniversary re-release! 

Thanks to the wonderful NZ Maritime Museum - Hui te Ananui a Tangaroa - for sponsoring the show!

Slowdeck takes over the show for the first hour, and there are notable anniversaries for The Blackbyrds, George Duke, Kraftwerk, Curtis Mayfield, Ohio Players, Digable Planets, Artifacts, Wham!, Slave, Brand Nubian and Pete Rock & CL Smooth! As well as newly released material from Greentea Peng, Homeboy Sandman, Rahaan, Roland Haynes Jr, Edward Fisher, and classics from the likes of Gary Bartz, Twilight, Rance Allen, Vesta Williams and on and on. Can you dig it?
