Music 101 for Saturday 12 November 2011
2 - 3pm
Sampler: Tom Waits
Nick Bollinger reviews Bad As Me - a collection of new songs from the gruff American songwriter.
Gin Wigmore
After walking down railroads in Mississippi and watching O Brother Where Art Thou? several times Gin Wigmore found the flavour for her new album Gravel And Wine.
The Checks
The Checks have remained thick as thieves as they’ve graduated from Auckland high school band to established rock outfit with three records - including the new one Deadly Summer Sway - under their belt. We head to The Checks’ downtown HQ, and catch the band mid-jam.
3-4pm
Sampler: The Bats
Nick Bollinger reviews Free All The Monsters - the latest album from stalwarts of the Flying Nun label, The Bats.
Lindon Puffin
Loyal Lytteltonian Lindon Puffin’s latest lovely LP was to be released around the time of the February 22nd Earthquake, but – understandably – was put on the back-burner. He talks about what it means to go on a Hope Holiday, and finally accept that he is a pop song writer.; (Lindon pictured right)

Meet Queer-core duo Manthyng, making electro-pop in Dunedin. Hear about earlier top ten hits, and the time one of them kissed Debbie Harry.
Live: Dudley Benson with the Dawn Chorus
Presenting re-interpretations of Hirini Melbourne’s bird waiata as well as fresh takes on his own back-catalogue, Dudley Benson and his a capella ensemble of alt-barbershoppers and beatbox belle-du-jour Hopey One deliver a powerhouse performance inspired by Aotearoa’s avian beauty. This programme was recorded at the Waitakere’s Oratia Settlers Hall – the final show of Benson’s 2010 nationwide tour of marae and community halls.
