Music 101 for Saturday 16 January 2016

Gillian Welch
In the genre that’s come to be called Americana, there is no figure more respected than Gillian Welch. On the eve of her second New Zealand visit she talks to Nick Bollinger about songwriting, her long creative partnership with guitarist Dave Rawlings, and feeling like a Martian in Nashville.

Viet Cong
Calgary, Canada art-rock quartet Viet Cong might not be making music under their chosen name for too much longer after it saw them catch heat for alleged racism and cultural appropriation. We talk to the band before they raise a ruckus next Thursday at Auckland’s Kings Arms.

1-2pm David Bowie Tribute Hour

Samuel Scott co-hosts the hour dedicated to the Starman and  musical shapeshifter David Bowie.

Dave Dobbyn on Bowie
Dave Dobbyn speaks to Samuel Scott about experiencing Bowie as a young musician fresh out of school.

The Sampler - Blackstar by David Bowie
Nick Bollinger turns an ear to Bowie’s 25th and final long player, Blackstar for the first The Sampler of 2016.

Alastair Riddell's All The Madmen

2-3pm

Stomping Grounds: New Gum Sarn
Before the formation of the Auckland Super City, Orewa and Puhoi were parts of the Rodney District, and both towns were home to musicians who would go on to form New Gum Sarn. Now residents on the other side of the Auckland Harbour Bridge, New Gum Sarn's Oscar Dowling and Durham Fenwick travel up State Highway 1 with Zac Arnold to offer him a guided tour of their original Stomping Grounds.

Young Fathers
Young Fathers are a Scottish trio who entered the public eye after their surprise Mercury Prize win in 2014, their winning album Dead combining hip hop, soul, rock and tribal influences into a singular musical stew. Tony Stamp speaks with Young Fathers’ Graham Hastings, one-third of the band’s vocal onslaught.

3-4pm

Thomas Oliver and Louis Baker Live Cushion Session
For the last live music recording of Summer Music 101, we invite Wellington six-string slingers Thomas Oliver and Louis Baker to perform in studio, their Weissenborn slide guitars in tow, plus a (very) select number of M101 listeners in attendance.

4-5pm

The Mixtape: Anna Coddington
Raglan native Anna Coddington is the curator behind our final Mixtape of the 2015/’16 Summer Music 101 season, selecting a yacht rock-heavy playlist of easy, breezy summer tunes, including classic cuts from Toto and Michael McDonald, plus new tunes from Leisure and Bombay Bicycle Club.
