Music 101 for Saturday 9 June 2012

2 - 3pm

Patti Smith
Musician, poet, and photographer Patti Smith has released her first album of new material in eight years, Banga. Patti discusses her tendency to write elegies, collaborating with Johnny Depp, and writing songs on the ill-fated Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia. Hear Patti interviewed on BBC's The Strand here.

 

 

The Sampler: Neil Young and Crazy Horse
Neil Young has just released Americana with his sometimes band Crazy Horse - a band Nick Bollinger describes as sounding like "a bunch of teenagers jamming in the garage with the amps cranked up to ten". We take a listen to the album of old-time folk-songs, with some unexpected inclusions.

Songs From The Backyard featuring Rodney Fisher
Rodney Fisher is best known as one of the two singer/songwriters in Goodshirt, the recently reformed Auckland pop group. Fisher's been living in London for the past few years, but before he left, he recorded a solo album with Andy Lovegrove of Breaks Co-Op. Songs From The Backyard has finally been released, we ask about the hold-up.

3 - 4pm

Yaw Boateng is a Ghanaian drummer and dancer, who has adopted Auckland as his home. He leads Zoh Zoh, a seven-piece band who bring together the beats and melodies of Ghana, Nigeria, and Jamaica. But can Yaw make Kiwi audiences overcome their fear of the dance floor? We speak to him about addictive rhythms, and the new record Lady.

No Nukes: How NZ Music helped us Ban the Bomb
Marking the 25th anniversary of New Zealand's ground-breaking nuclear free legislation, 'No Nukes' highlights the role of Kiwi music and musicians in winning people over to the anti-nuclear cause.
Featuring protest music from Shona Laing, Topp Twins, From Scratch, Don McGlashan and Herbs, alongside interviews with some of the main players, we recapture the spirit of the nuclear free movement in song.
In doing so we explore how, decades later, this country's once controversial anti-nuclear stance has become a significant part of our national identity.

Joe Walsh
A member of The Eagles since 1975, Joe Walsh has just released his first solo album in 20 years Analog Man. As the titles suggests, Joe Walsh has one foot in the past. We speak to him about the digital age, US politics, and how New Zealand inspired him to become sober.
