Big show today, probably most notable was the announcement of this year’s Best Demo Competition winner. It’s an event for producers or musicians who have recorded, mixed and produced a finished track of any genre. Anything goes but you must primarily have had involvement at one stage during the writing and production of the work. The judge of the whole comp is the one and only Recloose joined us on the show to put us out of our misery and announce the winner. WHO is Ed Muzik aka James Dann!! Have a listen to what is was about the track that has now won him a trip to Auckland Redbull Studios to lay it down proper with Recloose. A BIG Congrats Ed!

Next off the rank was a man by the name of Jason Northover, now he is the manager of the MAC or Military Activity Camp based right here in Canterbury. You may have seen a lot of press about this programme lately, but we wanted to skip the politics and get straight to the nitty gritty - what actually happens at these camps? Obviously they receive a bus load of down and outters, young repeat offenders, but do that yell in their faces and break them with constant starjumps or crawling under barbed wire fences in the mud? Let’s find out:

It was all very last minute but we managed to get hold of CCC councillor Yani Johanson on the old dog ‘n bone for a discussion about Dave Henderson being made bankrupt. Looks like Dave won’t be offered the oppoortunity to buy back his properties that the Council bought off him, mainly due to the quite significant fact that he is now bankrupt, so what to do, what to do… The CCC has a lot to answer for really, $17 million down the gurgler.

Brightening up our morning and I know yours too, was Labour leader Phil Goff joining us on the show for his fortnightly catch up. We wanted to know his thoughts on the Pike River mine royal commission enquiry, what he hopes will come from that and also if he knew of Nandor’s anti mining blog. We asked Phil what he thought of Wikileaks too, because he was Foreign Minister for New Zealand once upon a time.

You have most probably heard about Wikileaks in the media lately, so we had a chat with Scoop.co.nz co-editor Selwyn Manning about the whole issue - a little history behind the site, the founder and the latest leaks to be published.

Also on the show this morning we had a catch up with Green Party co-leader Dr. Russel Norman. First up was his thoughts on mining in New Zealand of course after the Pike River tragedy, during this very sensitive time, is he tempted to push for an emotive anti-mining message? Also covered was Nick Smith’s announcement of the $2.1 billion ‘community environment fund’ - is it all it’s cracked up to be? Russ thinks not…

What a weekend! Saturday night at the Dux de Lux saw the Grand Final of Roundup 2010 band competition which was HOT. Barney Hodges did a fine job taking care of the MC duties as the top 5 bands from this year’s fierce competition battled it out for the title. So much talent! Finalist this year were: Sandfly Bay, Lupus Lunar, Mmdelai, The Guest and Valdera - such a mix of genres and all very tight. In the end though the judges decision was made and after much deliberation behind closed doors, The Guest came out victorious. We had the lads from The Guest in studio this morning to tell us of their win and what’s next, have a listen:

This morning I featured a segment entitled Self Massage. I’m not even going to go into, but if you’re feeling tense, or stressed there IS a way you can relax and I believe my system will help you. Shut your eyes and listen to the podcast, or rather, start it then shut your eyes. Yeah, do that, then let me know how you feel.

It kind of slipped under the radar a little, but this weekend just gone Oamaru was host to the Raleigh 20 Nationals. One man from Ashburton, one retro bike riding thoroughbred stallion of a cyclist by the name of Stephen Cook escaped slips, dodged fallen competitors and out cycled conditioned triathlete to win first place. I had a chat with Stephen this morning to find out what his secret was, what training went into the race and what's next for this Ashburton man. Oh yeah, he took out the Healing race too!

Hey well, what a sweet show we had this morning! Bit of a breakfast party in the studio with our mates Keith Preene, celebrity chef Jonny Schwass and Maria Walls popping in for some fun and awkward moments. Rather than explain it with words, have a listen to the podcast where myself, Spanky, Jonny and Keith all chow down on some amazing breakky courtesy of Mr. Schwass - his latest culinary invention: Savoury Porridge.
