The Paleface Parabola - 23-04-2025
Published: 23/4/2025 10:00 p.m.
We can fix the 2 hour rock and roll hole in your soul on this week’s caper 172, all dressed up in New Zealand regalia and then podcast for the other 166 hours via the likes of the 2 island glory that bursts with Kiwi flavor. Also, there is the options of Google and Apple and wherever the heck portals take on shaggy dogs like Oaf without borders Mr fix it’s like us. Paul Revere’s midnight ride 250 years ago in the American Northeast was a revolution not televised and neither is ours. But if both were, the enemies would stomp hands and clap feet and have no time to fight because Tom Waits, Gil Scott Heron & Brian Jackson, Big Joe Turner, Burning Bridget Cleary, Roy Orbison and more have alerted the countryside. Who in turn have alerted the authorities to fix it.

I’ve often referred to our plate spin as 2 hours of rearranging lounge chairs on the upper deck of the Titanic. And on the week of when and where it sunk to the bottom of the sea 113 years ago, our program on the good ship Free FM 89.0, whose radio tentacles grip ears from the bustling bohemia of Hamilton, NZ. The Mystery Man and Me make with the big noise weekly and it’s heard at a bargain price. Frank Hutchison, The Twilights, The 5 Royales, Midnight Oil, and Lloyd Cole are our bulls on parade and there’s more such as the Mystery Man’s percussion based palooza. Lets face it, it’s more fun than ants at your picnic. A Parabola is the quest from which we return changed yet essentially the same. It’s the weekly opening of the Rock and Roll history books with twists from 7,000 miles away.

So what actually happened on this week’s Paleface Parabolicplunge? Damned if I can recall! April fools! From a damned fool! I remember that the mystery man was in good spirits and fighting form and brought the music of L Shankar to the fray. I also remember that I gave you the listener the gusto grief you so richly deserve. Sprinkled in with music and brain food. Good gravy it’s fun.

Caper 168. It made our hearts merry to perform it. Host it. Patch it together at the end and toast our good fortune to be on the radio from half a world away and to be able to play what we want and say what we want. Opinion, talk, tales (some tall, some small) and music! Be Bop Deluxe, Rev Johnny Blakey, Pinocchio James, Louis Nye, The Delines, Graham Parker, Elvis Costello & the Attractions, Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, Keith Richards& the X-pensive Winos and the cherry on top of the pie, 100 year old Marshall Allen from the Sun Ra Arkestra. All this has to hold you for the next 168 hours till we meet again. You’re nice people you are. A Parabola is the quest from which we return changed yet essentially the same. It’s the weekly opening of the Rock and Roll history books with twists from 7,000 miles away.
