Music 101 for Saturday 28 January 2012
2 - 3pm
The Sampler: Leonard Cohen
Leonard Cohen has just released his first album in eight years. Old Ideas sees the septuagenarian's baritone lower than ever, and still tackling topics like love and mortality with a wry smile in his voice. Nick Bollinger takes a listen, and we hear from Cohen himself.
Session: My Name Is Gideon
New Yorker Gideon Irving is travelling the length of New Zealand on a bicycle, towing a trailer of musical instruments: banjo, loop pedal, bouzouki, jews harps, and mbira... he pedals in to play some tunes. Check his website here

Ahead of the release of their second LP, and appearance at Auckand's Laneway Festival on Monday, punk trio The Transistors take host Kirsten Johnstone on a hoon around their hood - Rangiora, Christchurch.
