Nuggets 365 – Rejecting Affection

David Berman and partner

Songs about rejection, both from the perspective of the person rejected and the ‘rejector’. Uplifting in a doomscrolling way.

David Berman‘s swansong performing as Purple Mountains is just epic. Read the whole sad story here.

Nuggets 353 – Road

I have been spending time travelling recently, back and forth between Tāmaki Makaurau and Kirikiriroa. There is a new motorway that makes the trip pleasant as long as you avoid traffic. Here is a mix inspired by all that time on the road.

PS the video is of a different road.
