Rob and Callum are chatting about this thing WE call ‘life’ over a nice dinner of songs, take a seat it’s a nice meal. They went to the music butcher especially to get the good chunks of musicmeat and popped them in the stew of life served alongside whatever’s in the pickle jar. ‘What colour is your day?’ we’ll talk about that. Choices this week are [flame emoji] fire and soothing ice, you need the fire but you need to soothe the burns: fire comes producer and rapper Nolan The Ninja who comes straight out of Detroit with the kind of heavy hip hop that city is famed for and at the top of the show eastern beats and low-ride grooves from def.sound. Blue Jean Committee provide soothing Californian harmonies served with champagne filled coconuts, Sam Giambalvo serenades with comforting guitar picking and hushed vocals and Shay and the Laufman’s send you down the river on a soft-pop lullaby. There’s more besides, it’s all good.

Rob and Callum celebrate the now, a time of taking bits from every corner of the world of every genre and smushing everything together; there are no scenes in places, it’s a world scene, a ‘smush scene’ and you’re living it with your cassette stores and great $2bandcamp albums.
This week we have two bands from British Columbia Painted Fruits and Healing Waters who put all the good sounds of them old indie records and make them into new records for the NOW listener, we have the sophisticated sax-pop of King Cyst who sighs every morning hoping for the ‘good stuff’, swinging pop from MPHO and them ‘all the Manchester bands’ feels of Talking Bush. There’s also vocoder funk from Benny Sings, some sincerity from Bears and other ace sounds.

Rob and Callum hail the new vigilante, today’s fighter of justice; enemy of the corrupt, the greedy and the dastardly. Thank you man at the keyboard, thank you for patrolling the cyber streets of the dark web and posting that catholic priests bank details onto 4chan. You are the hero we deserve.
And this podcast contains the music he deserves: afro-funk from the Grant Phabao Afrofunk Arkestra, hippy jazz folk pop from Me and My Kites and fretless bass pop grooves from Zach Burba. That’s all good for when our hero is chilling and wants some funk but he needs the heavy and the immediate which comes in the form of hardcore punk from Nail Polish and the power pop of Melbourne’s Pronto.

A pivot table changed our lives, vlookups got us off the bottle and format painter will be walking us down the aisle on our wedding day. Thank you excel.

There’s also killer punk from the GOGGS, muscle car rock from Faux Ferocious and of course power pop from Pujol. Enjoy the show, give us five of your stars and share the love.
