Kirsten is joined by regular listeners Marcella and Meredith playing some of their favourite songs. It's strongly a women's night and black women in country.

Otis Mace comes up and bangs out a few tunes and after something like 15 years, I finally play Seven Spanish Angels.

Deputy Kirsten's in the studio with some classic blues, lots of bluegrass, new country and folk.

Some brand new tunes (Amigo the Devil) and some real oldies (Bob & Jimi). An exciting Wednesday cover of Drive By Truckers, more from Colby T Helms and a few strangers wander on into town as well as plenty of our familiar friends and aquaintances who are hanging out in the saloon. And that gorgeous Mel Parsons song that's doing the rounds all over playlist as well.

Easter Sunday and I have rolled out all the Easter goodies, like rolling the rock from the tomb.

With Kiwi artists Delaney Davidson, Mel Parsons, Ebony Lamb, Erny Belle, Tiny Ruins.

The great Ryan Adams redemption show. Gave him a shot after a chance encounter with a listener at a party in West Auckland. Played two songs. Still don't like him. Like MJ Lenderman though, so played him and like the track listing on my new shiny record of Neil Young and Crazy Horse 'Dume' - a repackage with exciting bonus tracks of Zuma from 1975, so played a version of Powderfinger you won't have heard. Played the Beyonce country song too - and liked that. Like the new Hurrah for the Riff...

Neil and James and the old pals like Dwight and Townes as well as new buddies, Sammy & Colby, also, popping a listeners Drive By Truckers cherry by special request. He dug it.  

Thanks for Richard Laing for suggestions for the great women artists.

Old. New. Medium. Etc.

First time back in teh saddle for a bit - some classic oldies, like On The Beach, but also a bunch of fresh as brand new tunes from upcoming albums by Waxahatchee, ISMAY, the quite awesome Chatham County Line, Sarah Jarosz and more. Also, a few tracks off Calexico's Feast of Wire to get you a long to the show in a couple of weeks.  

First show with new Deputy Louis Jarlov behind the desk solo.

Deputies Kirsten and Louis in the studio.

Three deputies in the studio.

More CD Roulette ! Crash ! Burn ! A show featuring only songs with the word Love in the title, just for amusement and 'cos we always need some love.

Lots of new releases.

Start the show with catastrophic CD failure, but still grabbed the Be Good Tanyas out of the 95bFM CD library and faced the fear.

New releases mostly from this year, my picks are "Drink From the Well" The Lowlies, "It All Falls Down To the River" Suzy Bogguss, "Coyote" Dylan LeBlanc. And the messianic "Stardust" David Borne there's an accent on the 'e'. Hear new music and enjoy.

Texter: "I love you. Mistakes like that are the best thing about radio". You be the judge.

Congratulations to the Sheriff Bernie Griffen for his Outstanding Contribution Award to bFM at the Student Radio Network Awards.

Felt like a goodie.
