A government call for mayors to help battle truancy is cheeky and completely at odds with earlier instructions for councils to stick to roads and pipes and keep their noses out of everything else. That from Porirua Mayor Anita Baker, in reponse to a letter from the Associate Minister of Education. David Seymour has written to Aotearoa's mayors asking them to help boost school attendance. He's refered them to daily attendance data and is encouraging them to quote "lead the change they want to see." Porirua mayor Anita Baker spoke to Lisa Owen.

David Seymour's calling on mayors to help in reducing school truancies. The Associate Education Minister's asking mayors to use the Government's new daily school attendance dashboard to understand how regions compare to each other. Porirua Mayor Anita Baker says Seymour's plea was vague. “So if he wants to play us a formal role, I think he needs to look at funding us." LISTEN ABOVE.

Slowjamastan, officially dubbed "The United Territories of the Sovereign Nation of the People's Republic of Slowjamastan," was founded on December 1, 2021, by Randy "R Dub!" Williams, a San Diego-based radio DJ famous for hosting Sunday Night Slow Jams, a syndicated show spinning smooth R&B tracks. The "slow jams" theme is the micronation's quirky backbone—think Luther Vandross and Anita Baker as its spiritual soundtrack. Williams, who's styled himself the "Sultan of Slowjamastan," bought an 11.07-acre plot of empty desert land along California State Route 78 for $19,000 in October 2021, inspired by a visit to another micronation, Molossia, in Nevada. His goal? Create a playful, rule-breaking alternative to the everyday grind.This isn't just a patch of sand with a flag (though it has one—plus a border sign, a "customs" post, and an open-air desk for the Sultan). Slowjamastan mimics real nations with its own currency (the "duble," pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar), passports (featuring hip-hop quotes), and a national anthem, "Slowjamastan (I Think It's Gonna Be an Awesome Place)," penned by Williams himself. The population? Zero residents on-site, but over 19,000 "citizens" worldwide as of mid-2024.

PART 1 of a 2-part BEST OF compilation of Karl Pilkington's ROCKBUSTERS (a cheap knockoff of Blockbusters) from the Xfm Ricky Gervais Show with Stephen Merchant. Not only was this one of Karl's longest running features (along with Monkey News), but it was also voted by fans as his greatest XFM feature of all time. Karl Pilkington gives a cryptic clue (it's usually nonsense) and the initials of a famous band or artist (he sometimes gets the initials wrong), and listeners either call, or as the feature developed (unless they were experiencing technical difficulties), email in their answers. The winner gets an arbitrary assortment of tat, often including a pointless DVD seemingly chosen at random from the bargain bucket. This 2-part BEST OF ROCKBUSTERS Compilation is based on the comprehensive 6-part ROCKBUSTERS compilation of every Rockbuster segment from the Xfm Ricky Gervais Show (released previously). CHAPTERS: Weezer, Coldplay, Justin Timberlake (0:00) Destiny's Child, Puff Daddy aka Diddy, The Bangles (10:43) The Dandy Warhols, Holly Valance, Whitney Houston (17:59) Foreigner, Shalamar, Bananarama (25:33) Adam Ant, Pixies, Anita Baker (33:14) Four Tops, The Charlatans, Freda Payne (40:45) Busted, The Spinners aka Detroit Spinners, Born Slippy (48:40) Limp Bizkit, Turin Brakes, Terence Trent D'Arby aka Sananda Maitreya (55:17) Junior Senior, Alison Moyet, Buzzcocks (1:06:39)

From his roots in Omaha, Nebraska, to touring 38 states and 50 countries, Rene has worked with an impressive array of artists, including Rock and Roll legends, Pop stars, and Grammy award winners. In this episode, Rene shares his inspiring journey, from his early influences to his current projects and collaborations. Tune in to discover the incredible story behind this guitar maestro and his remarkable discography.There aren't many guitarists who possess the versatility as Rene Benton. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, his musical influences ranges from progressive rockers Kansas to the sophisticated funk of the Ohio Players. After a stint in the Marine Corps, Rene decided to dedicate his energy towards music. Touring extensively throughout the United States and abroad(38 states and 50 countries to date), he has produced an astounding resume which includes Rock and Roll legends, such as Chubby Checker band; Pop Star artists, such as Sweden's Gigi Hamilton, with Warner EMI; and, Columbia Records recording artist – Fishbone through recording, to name a few. More recent performances include collaborations with Tuhran Terrell (keyboardist/Anita Baker), Jerome “Stixx” Davis (drummer/LaFace/Arista recording artist Tony Rich); singer Hunter Gerard (soap opera star/General Hospital); and, Louie Louie (WTG recording artist , chart topping hit “Lap of Luxury”). Rene was also involved with the modern musical Dreamscape; created and performed by Steve Reed, percussionist for fusion jazz legends – The Rippingtons As well recording with Grammy award winning writer Sleepy Brown writer of the hit by Outkast (I like the way U move) and multiple performance with Grammy award winning bassist for Latin pop star Mark Anthony Mel Brown and Christian Rapcore band Junkyard Prophet and a faction of The Fortunes(UK 70's group that had the hit (“Here comes that rainy day feelin' Again”) Taking time to record his first full-length release, Rene employed expertise from Troy Johnson, bass; and, the dynamic drumming of Todd Roberson; both backing up the likes of Michael Lee Firkins (Shrapnel records alumni), Stephen Pearcy (former frontman of Ratt); and their own instrumental powerhouse JRZ System. The result was a throttle-filled carpet ride sounding like a fusion between Stevie Wonder and Tony MacAlpine. His follow up project Rene called on more musical friends such as, Philip Bynoe (bassist/Steve Vai, Nuno Bettencourt, and Mark Boals), and Atma Anur (drummer/Greg Howe, Cacophony , Vinnie Moore, Jason Becker), Kelly Conlon (bassist Death, Monstrosity, Azure Emote) Funk legend guitarist Charlie Singleton(Cameo) and drummer/producer Paul Vowell(Radioactive Chickenheads, Green Jelly, Sleepy Brown of Outkast) along with appearances by long time comrades Troy Johnson(bassist JRZ System) among others.

If there's one musician who truly embodies resilience, it's Lakecia Benjamin.Just a couple of weeks ago, at the 60th Jazzfest Berlin, I had the privilege of sitting down with powerhouse saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin for an inspiring conversation. Throughout her career, she's played alongside legends like Anita Baker, the Count Basie Orchestra, Harry Belafonte, Stevie Wonder, the Roots, Missy Elliott, Alicia Keys, and so many more. After a serious car accident in 2021, Lakecia didn't just bounce back—she wrote new music that would become her latest album, Phoenix, earning three Grammy nominations. Her journey shows just how far small steps forward can go. Lakecia opened up about her roots growing up in Washington Heights, New York, a predominantly Dominican neighbourhood pulsing with Latin music.She shared insights into her 2020 album Pursuance: The Coltranes, her triple Grammy-nominated 2023 Phoenix, the influence of Alice and John Coltrane, and the courage it takes to reveal your authentic self to an online audience as an independent artist. I saw Lakecia in an incredible concert at Quasimodo.What impressed me the most was her attitude. I had to think of what Miles Davis once said: "Anybody can play. The note is only 20 percent. The attitude of the motherfucker who plays it is 80 percent." The concert wasn't just music, it was a party with all of us - we all celebrated life and women in music.I love her story, her truth and her drive. Enjoy listening!

Brian Kemp signed a controversial bill into law that critics say would make it “more difficult” for people to vote. Senate Bill (SB) 189 means in part that people without a permanent address will need to re-register to vote… Challenges to those voter registrations will be easier to initiate… And this bill also requires counties to tally all absentee ballots within an hour of polls closing  Story 2: Snoop Dogg is spearheading a docu-series for E! Entertainment centered around the life of his daughter, Cori Broadus. The untitled series will follow 24-year-old Cori Broadus and her fiancé, Wayne Deuce, 31, as they navigate life leading up to their wedding day.

It is expected to be operational by next month.  Story 4: Congratulations to 96-year-old Opal Lee, also known as the Grandmother of Juneteenth…  She was recently honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom… And just last week, she also received an honorary doctorate's degree from Southern Methodist University.  (21:05) - We Up, We Up, We Up!    (22:41) - Blackurate News/Pop Culture   Welcome back to the Amanda Seales Show… I'm Amanda Seales…   Story 1: Alabama Senator Katie Britt introduced the Moms Act, which allows child support claims to begin during pregnancy, and proposes a national database through Pregnancy.gov.  (26:39) - Supreme Splaining – Recorded    (31:26) - Big Up, Let Down  Big Up - Goes to great security  A recent concert in Georgia turned into a disappearing act. Tyrese was in the middle of belting out his hit song "Why You Wanna Act Like That" when a security guard walked over and warned him that there was a process server at the show. Without skipping a beat, Tyrese bolted stage right, mid-song. He managed to yell out a quick “I love you guys!” but all the audience saw was ass and elbows. In the words of J B Smooth, ain't nothing faster than poooom!  Let Down - Bad recruiting tactics    The Miami Beach Police Department proudly introduced their latest recruitment tactic: a $250,000 Rolls-Royce patrol car. Because, you know, nothing says "protect and serve" like luxury wheels.  Forget about offering competitive wages or ensuring psychological stability—let's just flash some bling and hope people sign up to play cops and robbers.  (35:38) - And Another Thing  (38:04) - We Up, We Up, We Up!!  (39:41) - Am I Trippin - Part 1  (41:32) - Am I Trippin Part 2  (45:32) - Blop Quiz  (49:32) - The Word for the Day…  (51:25) - Politicians Say the Darndest Things FOLLOW THE SHOW ON ALL SOCIALS: @Sealessaidit @Amandaseales @thesupremeexperience If You Have A Comment Leave Amanda A Message At 1 855-Amanda-8 That's 1-855-262-6328See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the show this time, it's a very special throwback episode, featuring a live performance from the Detroit legend - Rodriguez. Detroit, Motor City. It churned out all those classic cars, but it is also one of the great American music cities.  Motown obviously, which is enough all on its own. Punk from Suzi Quattro, The Suicide Machines, The Romantics, and the MC5. Pop and R&B and Hip Hop from Was Not Was, J Dilla, and Anita Baker. Sufjan Stevens, Bob Seger, or Eminem. And - from the quiet streets of Woodbridge came the psych-rocking songwriter Sixto Rodriguez. He released 2 studio albums with little success in the US, but he did well in Australia and New Zealand, and South Africa. In fact, he was a huge hit in South Africa. He didn't know it at the time. He lived a simple life, working hard for very little money. It wasn't until his daughter discovered a website about him in the late 90s that he realized how many fans he had in other parts of the world. His records were re-issued by Light in the Attic in 2009 and he toured - including to Seattle. He played many packed concerts to adoring fans - finally getting a taste of the success he deserved. He died in 2023 at the age of 81. Recorded 06/23/2009.

Parts 1 and 2 If the shoe fit, go grab some socks "without community, there is no liberation, only the most vulnerable and temporary armistice between an individual and [their] oppression."--Audre Lorde Join us for a special episode of Black People Tell Black History (yes, it's giving very much Anita Baker 365 days of the year same ol love) with our love Elle Moxley talking about community, how some of ya;ll wouldnt know what it is if it fell and hit you in the head and how market forces, capitalism and white supremacy are driving us away from each other, the theft of our culture is driving us away from each other in an attempt to lessen our pride in our shared identity and even that's not enough to assure solidarity, gentrification is physically doing the job of isolating Black folks from one another. So what do we do? When it comes to liberation, everybody won't come (and don't want to) Everybody is not your friend and how we (mostly Ebony) are resisting all of that and subsequently learning the hard way. Thank you, ReesaTeesa.
