I'm listening to "Mila" as I type - it's vast, exciting, & delicious.

Last night's show kicked off with "Pure Pleasure Seeker" from 2000 when Roisin Murphy was in Moloko.

Then we reviewed the latest AMRAP charts from last Monday.

Eloise shared some of her recent listens including Waax, Kučka, GLVES, Tim Shiel, Parcels, & The Wiggles.

Then a bit of a jazz glide path with Benjamin Attiche & Andrew Butt Trio + with a song with the same title as our show (Here & Now) - a nice coincidence.

That was before catching the latest ep of Barry O'Sullivan's always excellent A Jazz Hour from 2MBS Fine Music Sydney. This week's guest in the CRN (Community Radio Network) segment was bass explorer Lucy Clifford.

Listened to the show? Thanks for doing that!

Another great show last night!

We started with the two new dance releases from The Wiggles and The Tree of Wisdom.

Then a bit of a deviation from our usual Oz music to air Wet Leg's recent "Catch These Fists" - just coz its mighty.

Eloise brought in some great tunes from Emma Louise, Angie McMahon, King Stingray Band, Troye Sivan, and others.

We covered the two latest Amrap charts from last Monday, slid in a couple of jazz tracks from COAST and Adam Miller, before catching the latest ep of Barry O'Sullivan's always excellent A Jazz Hour from 2MBS Fine Music Sydney. This week's guest in the CRN - Community Radio Network segment was stride piano maestro Robbie Mann.

Caught the show? Thanks for listening!
