I am in the throes of watching stuff for the next proper episode so tonight's pod is a bit of a grab bag, but my main thrust is inspired by the videos "Marine Corps Boot Camp Is Stupid And Spiritually Depraved". You can listen to the ep here: tinyurl.com/res-recs-95-...

Our very own Gill and Johns article has been published in the October issue of Touchstone!
Either Eyether - another part of the Dan Brown extended universe, with co conspirators who'll pop up elsewhere in this thread (notably Ce of Synthetic Children on bass) eithereyether.bandcamp.com/album/the-fu...
Dirt Box Charlie - astonishing funk/blues/soul trio. Suffer from the Grateful Dead problem of any possible recording being a poor approximation of seeing them live, but still pretty neat dirtboxcharlie.bandcamp.com/album/echoes...
Churlington - the first appearance (purely for alphabetical reasons) of Dan Brown (not that one) on this list. There will be more of Dan! churlington.bandcamp.com
Chris Dann (Palmy's secret jazz weapon) here with a hand-picked trio, recorded in Palmy by @objectivereality.bsky.social... chrisdann.bandcamp.com/album/music-...
Cece McMillan - fascinatingly eclectic and right at the start of her career - one to keep your eye on! cecemcmillan.bandcamp.com/album/season...
No list of Manawatū music would be complete without the inimitable @bingturkby.bsky.social and his truly astounding catalogue: turkby.bandcamp.com
Benny Tipene (I reckon the album he put out before going on X Factor is an absolute gem) bennytipene.bandcamp.com/album/benny-...
Bill Angus and the Mighty Ways - Bill has relocated further North but he's a lovely songwriter so we'll give it to him! billangusandthemightyways.bandcamp.com
Bad Schematics - I described these guys as channeling 2000s alt rock energy (and they agreed with me!) badschematicsband.bandcamp.com/album/c-o-l-...
Beef! Punk that swerves in unexpectedly arty directions, Abi turns up again... beefmanawatu.bandcamp.com
Abi Symes (possibly the only person in this thread to have run for Mayor of Palmerston North) abisymes.bandcamp.com/music
This week @objectivereality.bsky.social has tunes for you from Laluna, Beck, Charlie Parr, Lucy Dacus, and @eigenfacenz.bsky.social! Also, a rare correction, last week's ep did not have Laluna, it had Cradle featuring Car Crash Emy - a thousand pardons! Listen here: tinyurl.com/featured-tra...!
MPR announces the final farewell for a trusted and reliable colleague. “A mere decade of daily abuse? I think @brevillecanada.bsky.social should expect a sternly worded letter soon.” The coffee machine was laid to rest in a private ceremony on 1 Oct 2026. Donations to MPR in lieu of flowers.
