Ahoy! This @nzmusicmonth I'm posting 31 of my favourite #nzmusic compilation albums from over the years. Each day I'll also pick an artist from that day's release, and say one of the best gigs of theirs I went to. Buckle in.

And it sounded great on air again @stef_animal 😍

[Sam Huggard @SamHuggard]

So one of my favourite songs in the whole wide world is @stef_animal's One Two Three Four Five. It's just the loveliest synthetic popular music ever. But the ONLY place you can find it is a 17 year old CD which I finally nabbed while up in AKL for JunkFest. I still adore it Stef!

[Sam Huggard @SamHuggard]

I'm baaaack. With you until 9pm on @RadioActivefm

Didn't quite manage one of these this year but last year's effort is still fun to look back on for @nzmusicmonth #nzmusicmonth.
Day 2, day 20 and day 26 are all HDU themed - how good is news of their November show, and also Higher EP vinyl coming! (https://t.co/0lmsUkd1dH @95bFM)

Weaving through the audience to Night Swimmer, then instructing adoring crowd on our dance moves to Low Brow, from a top the bar at Meow 😲. Chelsea Jade's show on Friday night not likely to be forgotten anytime soon by anyone there ❤🎙🎧. So good!

[Sam Huggard @SamHuggard]

Rest in peace Ernie Abbott. Vice president of the Wellington cleaners and caretakers union, Wellington Trades Hall caretaker, and killed 41 years ago today in the Trades Hall bombing. Never forgotten. Rest in power.

Elliot & Vincent are your new favourite band 👏💜. @meow_live

[Sam Huggard @SamHuggard]

The tail end of 'I Only Said' off Churn by @Shihad_Band last night at Meow Nui. An absolute giant of NZ metal 🖤. Was just like being back at the Powerstation in the 90s for me. They spoilt us with a 3 and a half hour set, and was quite moving as they wrapped up at the end.

[Sam Huggard @SamHuggard]

Look my liberal high-culture RNZ-only friends may mock this, but I dont care - I stand by talkback radio. Tonight on Marcus' show - are there more traffic lights or roundabouts in NZ? Spoiler - it's roundabouts - but the calls & texts are a lovely window on our towns and cities🌏
