95bFM: Border Radio

Played "Red Flags" by Fly My Pretties and Taylah which is a great fit for Border Radio alongside the great blues women and men.  Boom Boom always works.

All Vinyl. No ads.

Fun show with heaps of new releases. Giddyup! 

The whole show was such great music, one person pulled in to a layby beside the Waikato River to listen and send a txt of thanks! Standout tracks included "Please Come On Inside" by Madeleine Peyroux, "The Dust" from The Kearns Family, "Spirits" from The Devil Makes Three and "Colours" from Black Pumas. 

Playing songs with names in the title! Heaps of good times.

Combo of; the Irish bandwagon post Fontaines DC pre St Patricks day and a fossick down in the blues hole. Including some Irish blues. yippe yi ay fiddly doo.

Celebrating greeat women artists for International Women's Day.

Kirsten's guest is music specialist and writer Garth Cartwright, for a deep dive into the Black music that formed Elvis.

13 + minutes of the CSNY live version of Southern Man to start the show and then a bunch of new, old & medium tunes.

Guest Kingsley Spargo plays live in the studio. The show starts with Lefty Frizzell and ends with a bracket of soul music.

Playing some tunes from artists appearing at the Auckland Folk Festival next weekend. And special guest Otis Mace plays two songs live in the studio.

Kirsten's in the studio. Starting with "Hold On, I'm Coming" a farewell to Sam Moore from Sam & Dave who died this week aged 89.

Back in the saddle for the new year. 

Just one Christmas song, James Brown "Santa Claus Go Straight To the Ghetto", from a Christmas album he did in 1968 called "A Soulful Christmas". That's my offering for the silly season, otherwise it's always the season for great roots music. A bit of a technical blue to start with - heck what's new? But after that it was plain sailing.

Quite a few tunes brand new to the show, the usual suspects, and a quick skim over some of the 'best of' lists. 

From Colter Wall "Sleeping On the Blacktop" to Carl Perkins "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby", something for everyone with a little codeine along the way thanks to Townes Van Zandt, Tramples By Turtles and Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. Popular.

Good times in the studio with some great tunes and a chat with Sin City about their current NZ tour. Yehaw! 

Kirsten's in the studio with great songs of the 70's and earlier, with new releases and some time for dancing.

Labour Weekend special - songs about work. Miners, farmers, drug dealers, mercenaries, cops, lawyers...

Kirsten in the studio bringing some old favourite tunes and new releases. With guests The DeSotos playing a couple of tunes live. 

All over the place as usual with blasts from the past as well as brand new tunes, getting stuck in the blues hole and a few tunes for the country fundamentalists.

Deputy Louis spinning tunes.

Deputy Louis in the house playing songs about bands all night. Lots of calls lots of requests lots of good times. 

Father's Day Special. Dad songs, one way or another. Good dads. Bad dads. Storytelling dads. And a live performance from Hoop in honour of the Ministry of Folks upcoming Neil Young tribute night. Neil's pretty 'dad' too.

Border Radio with Louis Jarlov. Lots of tunes I love tonight and a very special live performance from the College Hill Hillbillies. Get on it! 

Mixed bag of a few classics, brand new stuff and something that I thought was gonna be cool but ended up being actually bloody awful. But hey, you might like it and Grief Cat is still a cool name for a band. Couple of serato/dust/needle mishaps to keep us honest in there as well. Radio. Live with humans and equipment.

Kirsten's in the studio, she loved Appalachian Nightmare by Justin Townes Earle and Please Come On Inside by Madeleine Peyroux.

Absolute chaos when the serato/turntable/laptop shits itself - but tons of great music.

4th July birthday special. (Mine) Lots of classic tracks and a bunch of brand new ones. Ever deeper into the young musicians of the Virginia Mountains rabbit hole, and lovely new Sarah Shook and the Disarmers.

Kirsten in the studio with some old blues, new blues, new folk and country. Loved The Devil Makes Three "Old Number Seven".

Playing truck driving songs all night. Lots of requests lots of bangers. 

Some great music on the show, and Kirsten fielded some requests.

All sorts; all of side four from CSNY's 4 Way Street, Queens of the Stoneage doing Bob Dylan, Skynyrd, Emmylou, Townes, Mel, Reb and tons more.

New Zealand Music Month and Kirsten is serving a selection of tasty Kiwi tunes.

Had a go at making the show as pretty as I could, influenced by Amelia Empson's gorgeous song 'Closer'. She's my new favorite thing. Strayed off the track a bit in a couple of places, James McMurtry ain't that purdy, Jason Molina is just plain dark, but mainly true to sweeter sounds of the American persuasion.

Otis Mace comes up and bangs out a few tunes and after something like 15 years, I finally play Seven Spanish Angels.

Deputy Kirsten's in the studio with some classic blues, lots of bluegrass, new country and folk.

Some brand new tunes (Amigo the Devil) and some real oldies (Bob & Jimi). An exciting Wednesday cover of Drive By Truckers, more from Colby T Helms and a few strangers wander on into town as well as plenty of our familiar friends and aquaintances who are hanging out in the saloon. And that gorgeous Mel Parsons song that's doing the rounds all over playlist as well.

Easter Sunday and I have rolled out all the Easter goodies, like rolling the rock from the tomb.

With Kiwi artists Delaney Davidson, Mel Parsons, Ebony Lamb, Erny Belle, Tiny Ruins.

The great Ryan Adams redemption show. Gave him a shot after a chance encounter with a listener at a party in West Auckland. Played two songs. Still don't like him. Like MJ Lenderman though, so played him and like the track listing on my new shiny record of Neil Young and Crazy Horse 'Dume' - a repackage with exciting bonus tracks of Zuma from 1975, so played a version of Powderfinger you won't have heard. Played the Beyonce country song too - and liked that. Like the new Hurrah for the Riff Raff too. But Ryan's back in the naughty corner for eternity. I tried.
