About Joe Blossom from Wellington
SOUNDS LIKE
You are listening to John Rowles’ fifth phone message about doing a collaboration, the media are wanting comments from you on an alleged brawl between yourself and Frankie Stevens, Brendan Duggan is spreading rumours in Woman’s Day that you’re his love child and a Roxy Music song is stuck in your head… but what’s really on your mind is whether you’re going to move back to the Manawatu and take over the farm. It’s sonic piano pop.
