Music 101 for Saturday 28 July 2012
2-3pm
The Sampler: Muddy Waters and the Rolling Stones at the Checkerboard Lounge 1981.
One not so quiet night in Chicago, The Rolling Stones went to see their hero Muddy Waters perform at the Checkerboard Lounge... and gate-crashed the stage, resulting in a 'loose and well-juiced' blues set. Nick Bollinger reviews the official release of that recording and DVD more than 30 years later.
APRA Maioha Award Finalists 2012
We take a listen to the finalists for the APRA Maioha Awards 2012, which celebrates te reo in contemporary music.
Toni Huata
Māori singer songwriter Toni Huata has played a large part in introducing the rest of the world to Te Ao Māori (the Māori world), having performed in her native tongue on stages in the UK, Europe, Canada, Australia and The Pacific Islands. Her latest album Hopukia was made in collaboration with Pitch Black's Paddy Free and composer Gareth Farr, and is her first to use the English language as well as te reo. Huata and Free talk about the album, and the role music has to play in the survival of te reo Māori. (Toni Huata and Paddy Free performing in Solomon Islands recently for the Festival Of Pacific Arts )

Artisan Guns
They stopped skateboarding to preserve their guitar-playing wrists and the result is a carefully woven debut album Coral.
Fugazi
Twenty five years after they formed in Washington D.C., Ian Mackaye talks about his band's huge archive of live recordings, which captures his infamous diatribes against crowd-surfing.

Musical Chairs featuring: Dr Trevor Thwaites
On a sun-shiny day in 1991, New Orleans brass band The Dirty Dozen marched down Queen St, Auckland, and later performed a show in a big shed on Princess Wharf.
Watching from a bus stop, with a crowd of his most keen music students clambering on top to get a better view, was Dr Trevor Twaithes, world class drummer, inspiring music teacher, and head of the Selwyn College Music Department.
On spotting the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, the group shimmied off the bus shelter roof to march behind the band, clapping and dancing, in awe of the virtuosic horn players.
Nick Atkinson looks back on what was a pivotal day in the musical development of several well known local musicians with Dr Trevor Thwaites.
The Sampler: The Eversons
Nick Bollinger takes a listen to these hapless protagonists and their self-deprecating humour on the Wellington pop band's debut album Summer Feeling.
