Playing Neil Young on vinyl on East FM Saturday arvo
Now that Neil Young has withdrawn his extensive music catalogue from a certain streamer, we’re going back to old ways – playing his Comes A Time vinyl record on this arvo’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time) on East FM.
Had to laugh recently when hearing a DJ on another radio station asking listeners: What are you going to do now you can’t listen to Neil Young on Spotify? My reaction was, well, I’m going to spin the hardcopy albums, CDs and, yes, even cassettes.
Comes A Time represents a return to my roots, a gorgeous country-themed work released in 1978 that hasn’t a dud song, and with all the madness in the world presently, it’s the perfect album to play in entirety at 5pm to momentarily forget the serious issues facing mankind.
Other records have also been pulled as we’ll also take our usual tour of all the music neighbourhoods on The She’ll Be Right Show with PJ, strumming out of East FM, East Auckland’s vibrant 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.
It’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. – PJ… in the Field of Opportunity it’s ploughing time again…
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
