Music 101 for Saturday 8 October 2011
2-3pm
Portishead
We ask Geoff Barrow from revived Bristol band Portishead what went wrong the first time around, why they're touring now, and about Beth Gibbons' shy stage manners.
Chris O'Connor
Poly-rhythms abound when local drummer Chris O'Connor tests a theory on the relationship between rhythm and harmony.
Bert Jansch
We farewell influential acoustic guitarist and singer Bert Jansch, who died this week.
Mono
Japanese noisescapers Mono brought their drawn-out loud-quiet-loud sound to New Zealand recently. We speak to them about their evolution over 12 years together.
3-4 pm
Bella Kalolo
Soul singer Bella Kalolo is currently playing shows in support of her debut solo album Without The Paper. Bella talks with Nick Atkinson about her ties with Samoa, playing Glastonbury and missing Mum.
Rip It Up: Leonie Hayden
Magazine editor Leonie Hayden was one of the casualties when the glossy monthly Real Groove merged with weekly freebie Groove Guide. A year on, she has a new gig as editor of long-running local title Rip It Up. We speak to Leonie Hayden about the politics of publishing.

Live: Princess Chelsea in session
"I'm kinda like New Zealand's answer to Katy Perry… but with a vintage aesthetic". So says Chelsea Nikkel a.k.a. Princess Chelsea - only partially tongue in cheek - during this charming, fun session, captured live at Roundhead studios in Auckland. Attended by a band including Jonathan Bree of The Brunettes and Little Chief Records, and co-conspirators from Chelsea's former band TeenWolf, we eavesdrop on songs from the album Lil' Golden Book. These woozy pop tunes feature glockenspiel, xylophone and whirly, while telling tales of boyfriends, personality clashes, smoking, drinking, the 'great' Kiwi O.E. …and the end of the world.
Princess Chelsea live at Roundhead
