Music 101 for Saturday 31 March 2012
2-3pm
SXSW 2012
Sam Wicks reports back from South By Southwest (SXSW), a music industry conference/festival which sees around 2000 acts and tens of thousands of people descend on Austin, Texas. We follow NZ artists Electric Wire Hustle, Cairo Knife Fight and King Kapisi as they drag their gear from show to show, in the hope they'll be spotted by the right people.
The Sampler: Bruce Springsteen
The Boss' new album The Wrecking Ball sees him roaring with disappointment and rage about the various ways in which the American working man has been sold down the river by bankers and robber barons. Nick Bollinger takes a listen.
3-4pm
Elbow
We have a taste of this week's shows at The Powerstation - which Radio NZ recorded for later broadcast - and all five members of Elbow talk about their funk and prog-rock beginnings, and how they came to write the theme music for this year's Olympic Games.
Access All Area: Hoodoo Gurus
Australian psychedelic rockers The Hoodoo Gurus are back, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the debut single 'Leilani'.
The Hoodoo Gurus is one of Australia's most enduring rock bands with a back catalogue of instantly identifiable songs that provided a soundtrack to a generation of Aussie kids - and the band is still going strong. For Access All Areas this week Trevor Reekie catches up with lead vocalist Dave Faulkner.
Real Estate
Jangly New Jersey band Real Estate were in NZ recently, Dunedin being somewhat of a musical mecca for them. We meet the band to talk Flying Nun, amps, and beaches.
Introducing: Black City Lights

Feature: Around The World in 80 Tunes - Part 2 of 6: Israel
Nick D uncovers the modern bass scene and discovers the passion that Israelis have for reggae and Jamaican music culture.
He catches up with one of the most important bands in Israeli music, Mashina, who mixed ska and rock, and ruled the Israeli live scene during some of the country's most difficult days.
Then, Nick talks with Tamer Nafar of the Palestinian rap group Dam - who as Arab Israelis - are unable to travel to perform in front of their own audience in Palestine and the Gaza Strip.
Module
Electro whizz kid, creator of gaming music and synesthete, Module - aka Jeramiah Ross - talks about his first 'proper' album in six years, Imagineering.
