Music 101 for Saturday 7 January 2012 Music 101

12 - 1pm

The Little Willies
Norah Jones and her fellow New Yorker band-mates formed Little Willies as a "Willie Nelson Covers Band" - they talk about their latest collection of country classics.

Adventures in Musicland: Tokyo
Tokyo provides a full sensory experience, with its dazzling neon, crowded streets and a music scene like no other. Armed with some knowledge of the language Nick D tests out his Japanese skills and takes a snapshot of the contemporary music scene. From the sickly-sweet hyper-cute J-Pop that assaults your ears on every corner, legends like DJ Krush (pictured right), to the new young movement pushing underground sounds to the top, and not forgetting the pioneers of a certain kind of electronic music that has had the most profound impact on all of our lives - video game soundtracks. Nick D uncovers a scene that's as colourful and alive as the streets of Shinjuku themselves.

1 - 2pm

Panel: Predictions for Music in 2012
Possible music trends, hotly anticipated releases and tours, crazy notions of the future of the music industry, wild speculation about collaborations and developments which may or may not happen in 2012.

Summer Camp
British Duo Summer Camp write nostalgic music with a distinctly 60s Californian summer sound - we speak to them about their debut album 'Welcome To Condale'.

2 - 3pm

Paul Simon - So Beautiful Or So What?
Paul Simon gives a personal insight into the thought & process attached to the making of his well received 2011 album So Beautiful or So What. An eclectic album brimming with international influence, he describes using the sounds of Tibetan gongs, steam engines and wildebeest in his unique approach to song writing, and of his collaboration with producer and long-time friend Phil Ramone.

Horace Andy
Jamaican reggae singer Horace Andy has been in NZ touring with Shapeshifter this week - we spoke to him while he was still at home in Kingston about how he keeps his voice so pure.

3 - 4pm

Live: Sami Sisters
After the release of their residentially recorded debut album Happy Heartbreak, sisters Madeleine, Anji and Priya Sami swapped their usual acoustic setup for the more robust sound of an electric band and took to the road. We catch up with them in Auckland at the Kings Arms, alongside drummer Alistair Deverick and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Toy, where they are at their uplifting, heart-warming & often humorous best.

Victoria Girling-Butcher
She's leaving the big smoke to move back home to Taranaki. Nick Atkinson dropped in on Victoria Girling-Butcher as she was shunting boxes in preparation for the big shift. Her black Labrador, Rosie, was looking pensive and so was Victoria as she contemplated leaving Auckland. "I'll miss all the musicians" she said, while reflecting on the making of her latest album Summit Drive, which features Jol Mulholland, Andrew Keoghan and Wayne Bell, who all play on yet another record produced in The Lab studio, Mt Eden.

4 - 5pm

MixTape: Julia Deans
In which we ask musical guests to compile a C60, and talk us through the selections. Lead singer of the now defunct Fur Patrol has moved back to New Zealand after almost a decade in Melbourne, and has been busy this year touring as a solo artist, and as part of Jon Toogood's band, The Adults. Julia Deans makes a mixtape consisting of 'Track 1' from each of her favourite albums
