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!

Our last show for 2024, join us on the other side!

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.

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.

Music has always been a part of Todd Hearon's life and following a brief break for other creative pursuits, he's returned with a three-part album release and in this interview, we dive right into what this is all about. The Texas-born songwriter goes into the story behind his most recent release, “Impossible Man” and how it follows his 2021 and 2023 albums, “Border Radio” and “Yodelady.” We also talk about his musical hiatus to go to grad school in Boston and co-found The Bridge Theater Company, an independent troupe in Boston's Theater District. Todd shares how his poetry and other writings blend with his music, and gives us the story behind Myrtle, his 1950 Gibson J-50. Opening the interview is an excerpt from “Guillotine” and closing things out is the song “Looking Glass,” both of which are from the new album. 

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.

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.

Kirsten is joined by regular listeners Marcella and Meredith playing some of their favourite songs. It's strongly a women's night and black women in country.

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

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

Neil and James and the old pals like Dwight and Townes as well as new buddies, Sammy & Colby, also, popping a listeners Drive By Truckers cherry by special request. He dug it.
