This cat's going places, especially after being on She'll Be Right lol...

Phil from Farm Cove

Very excited to write we’ve got rising Kiwi Americana music star Miller Yule as featured artist on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time) on East FM.
The Auckland born-and-bred singer-songwriter is coming into the studio to talk about his fantastic new album Let It Burn and his life in music from 3.30pm. We’ll play the 10-song work in entirety, too.
It’s also the second of three SBRs to feature artists on the bluestacular line-up for the Auckland Blues Festival, on November 12, and we’ll be spinning tracks by artists on the bill.

Miller Yule says his debut album Let It Burn is “explosive, emotive, invasive, passionate, and fiery!”
He’s thought carefully about life and presented his storytelling in beautiful musical form. There’s some serious storylines without being too heavy, wrapped in excited and catchy melodies and beats.
“It will give you that pumping, kick-start, upbeat vibe as well as those slow-burning, passionate and reflective feels.
“Let It Burn covers the journey of fire. From the spark to the flame, becoming engulfed to dying out, smouldering smoky embers to ash and dust.
“It’s a body of work that captures my life in my 20s. The good, the bad, the highs, the lows, the falling in love, the heartbreak, the regrets, the depression, the fulfilment and the emptiness, being lost to being exactly where I was meant to be all along!
“Simultaneously exciting and terrifying, this was my 20s… along with everyone else!
“Releasing this album is the final cathartic act of letting go of these experiences and letting it all burn away.
“You can’t erase the past, but you can let go, let it be and let it burn. You can accept everything for what it was, who you were and who you’ve become from the experience, the struggle and the transformation. This is life and this is Let It Burn!”
He sure has a way with words, Miller Yule.

She’ll Be Right - it’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. And this Saturday, we’re getting busy on variety. – PJ

What word sums up 2024, neighbours?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....

In one word, how would you define 2024?

We're excited to see what you come up with!

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
