Music 101 for Saturday 29 August 2015

Hear a playlist of musical highlights and appearances from this week's guests.

2–3pm

Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo have returned to the format of their fan adored 1991 album Fakebook, with a new collection of stripped back covers. Samuel Scott talks to Yo La frontman Ira Kaplan about what it means to look back and why hearing his wife Georgia sing on the new record Stuff Like That There breaks his heart.

Introducing: Skyscraper Stan

The Sampler: Wilco – Star Wars
Nick Bollinger reviews the latest set from Illinois alternative rock sextet Wilco.

Fur Patrol
It's been six years since Fur Patrol last took to the stage, but last weekend saw the trio reunite for The Munki Mash,  a knees-up that marked the end of Wellington's Munki/Inca/Trident Studios building. Yadana Saw catches up with Fur Patrol’s Julia Deans, Simon Braxton and Andrew Bain to find out why this was the occasion that warranted their return.

3–4pm

Orchestra of Spheres
The Wellington sonic explorers join us for a session live at the Music 101 studio, with new drummer, Rikki Gooch.

MAALA
Electro-pop newbie MAALA is one of New Zealand’s most hyped up and comers, but with a label intent on keeping his identity secret, digging for information beyond his age (20) and location (Auckland) has been a rather unsatisfying exercise. Melody Thomas meets the mysterious young man behind the music.
