Music 101 for Saturday 12 May 2012
2-3pm
Shihad - Beautiful Machine
A new feature-length documentary film details Shihad's journey from the punk-metal scene in Wellington early 90s, to their status as one of NZ's most important rock bands, through intimate interviews with band-members, their partners and parents, and archival footage of tours and concerts. We speak to producer Grant Roa about this labour of love.
Kaiser Chiefs
Lead singer Ricky Wilson and guitarist Andrew "Whitey" White talk with Nick Atkinson about their hometown of Leeds, their dictatorial drummer, a profound passion for The Who, and that rock'n'roll staple, Coke.
The Sampler: Alabama Shakes
Much hyped soul/blues retro-ists from Athens, Alabama have released their debut Boys & Girls to critical acclaim - does Nick Bollinger agree?
3-4pm
Garbage
Though they've gone on 'indefinite hiatus' a number of times over the past 18 years, Garbage have never really broken up, and they're about to release their fifth album, Not Your Kind Of People. Fiery-haired Scottish singer Shirley Manson talks about it. (Garbage pictured right)
Shifting Sands
Dunedin songwriter Mike Mcleod gathered together an enviable mob of local musicians for his Americana tinged solo project.
The Sampler: Norah Jones
Nick Bollinger takes a listen to the latest set of songs by easy-listening darling Norah Jones, and assesses what effect the production ears of Dangermouse have had on Little Broken Heart.

Atmosphere
Sam Wicks speaks with Minneapolis, Minnesota hip hop outfit Atmosphere about rap that wears its heart on its sleeve.
Live: The Subliminals
Although short-lived - releasing two albums between 1999-2000, Auckland-based band The Subliminals left their mark, with Sunday Star Times music critic Grant Smithies describing the 2000 release United States as "the best local rock album in years".
The band reformed in November 2011 to support The Clean for Flying Nun's 30th anniversary. Radio New Zealand National was there to capture the occasion.
