Crawley’s away and so producer Harry’s been let off his leash!!! In this week’s drive, it was tunes galore and, given that it’s the very special 100% NZ music week, they were all from our very talented homegrown artists. Yeeew!

We gave Professor Emeritus Peter Lineham a call for That’s The Spirit and boy did we chat! This week's topic was Buddhism and why it appeals to people disenchanted with traditional religion. 

Speaking of spirits, though Crawley was away, his ghostly presence was still very much felt. He even spoke to us through the medium of song.

Ngā mihi The Beer Spot!

Nicholas chats to Saul Williams prior to his show here in Tāmaki with Carlos Niño at The Tuning Fork on the 9th of June! Whakarongo mai!

Elle spoke to Cate Le Bon on the emotional core of her latest album Michaelangelo Dying. Le Bon’s thematic arc of the album, an enigmatic take on the pit of heart break. Sonically dense and laden in synths Le Bon revels in the throes of heart ache, though her disarming and earnest narrative threads.

They spoke about the writing process of the album and adapting it for the live shows later in June.
