The homie Shanalog has sent through this all New Zealand mixtape he's put together which is a nice prelude to NZ music month. Definately a few peeps to keep your ears open for. Tracklist is posted in the comments. Shot cuz!
Here's a dope synth pop band outta Australia, released in 1986 off Cleopatra Records.
Had this one on play this morning, Herbie Hancocks second album (I've been giving his more celestial influenced Sextant lots of lovin' as well!). Some really dope cuts on here which is not too surprising considering that lineup (really diggin' Tony Williams steez on the drums). King Cobra is another killer track but this is just a good end of week jam on that "everythang gon be aight" tip.
So it's record store day today, a celebration of independent records stores and the whole culture that comes with it. So take some time to go visit your local spot, have a dig and support a really dying art. With the closure of Real Groovy Wellington & Christchurch, it's quite a blow, but fortunately there are still a number of stores doin it. I thought I'd post a link to a little video on conch as Cian makes some good points on how the record/record store game is these days. Support it, cos one day it might be gone and you'll have to dig through more dumpster than your used to. (shouts to Andy M for puttin me onto the vid) 
A very slick 70's tinged heater from Washington DC's Frank Mitchell Jr, who wouldn't sound out of place on the more 80's focused Peoples Potential Unlimited (also based outta DC). That falsetto is a perfect accompaniment to a fly honey, fireplace and glass of pinot noir (oh and some trees, can't forget the trees).

The cousin just put up the latest Cave Circles. Make sure your laces are tied, you might just trip over your own dang leg. 
It's hot out and I ain't got no work.
