Who saw Motocade Al’s Bar last night? Oh SHIT they were good. Like really really good, super tight, great sound and not ear bleedingly loud which was much appreciated, or maybe I’m getting old. Anyhoo we had them on the show yesterday for a live to air, check out the video yo!
And that’s all I’m posting today, have yourself a great weekend, take care! Remember Spanky’s away Tuesday and Wednesday next week, so I’ll be manning the controls and playing everythin mainstream I can find on my ipod just to piss Benet off. Love you Benet!
Keep checking back to this ‘ere blog for a video of Motocade playing a mean as live to air in the studio this morning. Eden and the boys came in early which is SO FUCKING RARE for a band to do after they’ve played a gig the night before, so we take our hats off to you boys. It sounded great.
Finally this morning we had an Iraq expert on the show to tell us what’s going on over in Iraq with the US troops being withdrawn. Listen to the response as Spanky refers to this move by the States as ‘withdrawl being a solution to their problem’ or something like that. We find out what this means for the future of Iraq, the relationship between the two countries and what this will do for the oil field bidding wars. I never like seeing ‘war’ and ‘oil’ in the same sentence, makes me feel weird. Anxious.
You’ve got to be careful with having marketing people on the show. Some times they just don’t know when to act like a normal human being or revert by default probably, to a souless marketing machine. A great example of what I’m talking about is this interview here, we spoke to Shane Lamont from NZ Natural (they make that yummy ice cream and frozen yoghurt) and they’ve begun selling their product in Russia of all places. Sounds like it could be quite an interesting interview right? Like haha it’s like selling ice to eskimos ay Shane. Well NZ Natural sells it’s product in a billion countries around the world, our NZ Natural premium ice creams are made from blah blah blah… you get the idea, but hear it for yourself! I have re-learnt this valuable lesson of sourcing marketers as interviewees.
Catch you tomorrow for awesomeness, we’ll be chatting with Lua Talaoloa E’etau the guy who got into NZ Fashion week by making a dress compleltely from toilet paper, Sophia Lee on Living Dolls lingerie show happening this Saturday at the Bedford, Arjee Bhajee’s Curry for Breakfast AND we’ll talk with Bob Todd on hoedowns for over 60’s. Brilliant.
We thought we’d get all anti smacking on yo ass this morning. Larry Baldock joined us on the show to tell all about the Vote No campaign, I think he was calling from overseas. Where he was hanging out with his two grown children who were smacked during their childhood and have turned out fine by the way!! I’m going to vote o to be honest, there I said it. Have a listen to Larry’s interview then watch the you tube vid below that some creative opinionated cat made. New Zealand’s got talent!
We used to chat with Ruth Dyson on a regular basis towards the end of last year about local Laboury stuff, today we caught up with her about a specific issue. In the budget it was released that over 4 years $150 million will be cut from adult education. The big thorn in her/the public sector’s side is the government chose to put $35 million into private schooling! Whaaa? Those peeps already got the cash! Feeling you Ruth! Make sure you sign the petition to make some change with this seemingly ridiculous move from Key and his party.
Hands up who’s got some form of eczema? Sam McSorley, Breakfast With Spanky’s resident medical herbalist gave her natural remedies on how to alleviate the discomfort of this common ailment. Don’t scratch it gods sake! Have a listen and find out how you can deal with the problem naturally like.
With numbers of confirmed pork flu infectees increasing by the day and the recent discovery of the first case of swine flu showing resistance to Tamiflu in Denmark, we thought it was time to catch up with our old mate Reuben. We spoke to Reuben 2 weeks ago after he was diagnosed with swiny and put in quarantine, so this was a bit of an update which hopefully had a calming effect on those of you who are still panicing out there. Turns out, Reuben is fine, the swiny took him out for a couple days just like any other flu and now he’s all better. Listen and feel good.
We got hold of Christchurch’s godmayor Garry Moore on his cell as he was driving to Kaikoura, in a small pocket of cell reception. Garry balances out Bob Parker, and we got his thoughts on these all important signs the CCC is erecting around our parks to discourage smoking, and much much more. Check it out yo.
It’s now reported legendary Kiwi singer songwriter Chris Know is out of hospital after suffering a stroke on the 11th of June this year. We wanted to find out exactly what stroke is and who they can effect. How long does it take to ‘re-learn’ functions effected by a stroke? We spoke to Mary Griffiths; stroke coordinator at Christchurch Public Hospital, have a listen:
I have to agree with the man, Transformers 2 is PANTS. Our very wise and often impartial film reviewer Andrew Todd came into the studio this morning to review the 2nd installment in the Hasbro franchise. Michael Bay purges 2 hours and 38 minutes of eye assult. BAM! Awesome, have a listen.
Ever wondered if your pets get depressed, like really depressed, or suicidal even? Do we as humans impose upon them our own range of emotions? Well one man who knows the answers to our cross species quandries is none other than BWS’s resident pet expert; Steve Hamlin. After Michael Jackson’s death, there are bound to be a lot of sad monkeys around, so find out how you can cheer them up.
I’m sure you would have heard by now about MJ’s passing away. We got our fantastic music reviewer and general knowlegdeable fella Grant Smithies on the ‘ol dog and bone for basically what was an obituary of Jacko’s colourful career.
Finally Bob Parker joined us to tell us about CCC’s view on the power of signs. This in light of our chat with Alan Bywater on Friday concerning those signs they’re planning on erecting in parks ‘discouraging’ people from smoking. To be honest, Bob doesn’t sound terribly convinced him self, but you be the judge…
... if you wouldn't mind. (please don't steal anything either)
Coming on the show tomorrow, we’ve got a doozy for you. Russel Norman will be phoning in, we’ll have Garry Moore’s response to Bob Parker this morning as he drives to Kaikoura, we’ll be finding out from a medical expert about strokes and overdosing - covering Chris Knox and MJ in one cause we can. Wrapping up the show we’ll have our very own pork flu victim Reuben on for an update - how he’s feeling 2 weeks on.
