Jon Lemmon
There are two basic rules in film-making: never work with children and never invite a film crew into your house. For his new crowdsourced music video ‘When It Came Along’, Jon Lemmon broke both rules by inviting friends and family to dance “full vibe” in his single bedroom. Yadana Saw gets behind-the-scenes of the video shoot.

Anatomy of a Song Series 2: So So Modern ‘Worst Is Yet To Come’
Anatomy of a Song is a radio series produced by our friends at RDU in Christchurch, in which Spanky Moore and selected New Zealand musicians dissect the different elements of one of their tracks, getting to the bottom of what makes that song special. This week he looks at So So Modern’s ‘Worst Is Yet To Come’.
