Groovy feature album on East FM, this Saturday arvo from 3pm

Phil from Farm Cove

Okay, so the head's still in Waikiki (no kidding, PJ), and the body's back in Farm Cove, so that means we're playing rock 'n roll from all eras on this arvo's She'll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor on EAST FM 88.1 107.1 3pm to 7pm (NZ time).
Got a cool, special feature album - Daddy's Home by St Vincent (aka Annie Clark, originally of Dallas, Texas) from last year - one of the recent purchases from Barnes and Noble in Honolulu.
Read a lot about St Vincent and this work Daddy's Home over the past year and a couple of plays have revealed it's very musically clever, interesting, diverse and ultimately groovy. There's a lot going on. We'll spin it in entirety from 5pm.
The rest of the show will be spent touring all the other musical neighbourhoods.
East FM is East Auckland's dedicated community-powered public service radio station, broadcasting on local frequencies 88.1FM and 107.1FM, globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio 📻
She'll Be Right 👉 it's all about the vibe; it's all about the groove. - PJ

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
