Hoodoo Gurus Day on East FM, Saturday arvo from 3pm...

Phil from Farm Cove

Bloody rain. Anyway, it’s Australia’s mighty Hoodoo Gurus Day on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time) on East FM. Bewdy.
The Hoodoos play two Auckland shows next week – Wednesday with Silk Cut at Paraoa Brewing, Whangaparaoa; and next Thursday’s sold-out concert at the Powerstation, with Blam Blam Blam (!). Then they head south for Selwyn Sounds and Hutt Sounds.
Tickets at www.plus1.co.nz... and they’re doing other great shows now and beyond – 10CC, Henry Rollins, Proclaimers, Madeleine Peyroux, Mi-Sex and Stellar, The Stranglers and Greg Johnson.
For She’ll Be Right, we’ll play tracks from the five Hoodoo Gurus albums we’ve played a hundred times – Mars Needs Guitars, Stoneage Romeos, Blow Your Cool, Magnum Cum Louder, and Kinky – and requests are encouraged, especially what to play from the new HG album, Chariot of the Gods. Listening to it now.
We’ll also touch down in some other musical neighbourhoods in between.
East FM is East Auckland’s dedicated community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, nationally and 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. And this Saturday, we’re back to head banging to the Hoodoo Gurus. – PJ

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
