Top 10 Tunes

Ladies and Gentlemen! An extra big Daylglo Salute, if you please for the first DJ for 2014; an old friend from deep in the last century, from the deep south, from deepest Dunedin! A man of profound (deep even) musical convictions and a comprehensive knowledge of music of all sorts. He is that very very rare thing these days -- a (vaguely) left wing economist. And that even rarer thing -- an economist that is an extraordinarily gifted musician. He is also that very very common thing -- an economist that is completely unable to dance. Nevertheless, not known as “Nimbleknuckels” for nothing....wait, say that phrase out loud all of you, it's too good... Not Known as Nimbleknuckles for Nothing...thank you, thank you. Yes, Hazledine has always astonished us with his preternatural gifts on the piano. But he has been even more astounding when he stands up and becomes a rare voice of sweet reason, all these years -- these dark years of market driven idiocy and rampant greed....anyway, ahem, no politics here, it's paaatay time back in the old Dayglo, and here he is, a museo of impeccable taste, a DJ of rare distinction, a man whom we have seen and heard play Coltrane and Mingus and Oscar Peterson and Fats Waller and Ray Charles and just as memorably Joe Cocker or Jagger/Richards. Utterly unique, a good egg and a fine musician -- Ladies and Gentlemen, a big hand for Professor Tim Hazledine!
