Chris Schulz: Paul McCartney - The Boys of Dungeon Lane

Joel Little has worked with some of the biggest names in the music business. 

The Grammy Award-winning musician has written and produced tracks for the likes of Taylor Swift, Sam Smith, Ellie Goulding, Khalid, and of course, our very own Lorde – the place where it all began.  

But even amid all his fame and success, he’s remained humble and down to Earth – and his latest project only exemplifies that. 

‘BIG FAN’ is a not-for-profit music space located in Morningside, offering recording studios and a live music venue with the aim of supporting the wealth of musical talent in New Zealand.  

Little told Jack Tame the whole idea was to build a place of a world-class standard, to give a little bit back to the music industry that’s been so good to him over the years. 

“If someone else was in my position and I was watching them, I would kind of hope that they would do something similar.” 

“I didn’t get where I am by just like... all on my own,” Little said. 

“I had people along the way kind of say the right things or give me opportunities ... and that’s kind of what we want BIG FAN to be for people.”

The passing of one of New Zealand’s most well-loved entertainers has hit the country hard.  

Dame Jools Topp died the Saturday just past at age 68 as a result of breast cancer, something she was first diagnosed with in 2006 before it returned in 2021.  

Like many other Kiwis, Kevin Milne was devastated to hear of her passing, and he has a theory as to why so many are hit hard by the news.

The Midnight Train by Matt Haig  

When your life flashes before your eyes, where would you stop? 

No one can change the past, but the Midnight Train can take you there. The chance to re-live the moments that meant most. To see what kind of person you really were. 

For Wilbur his best days were with Maggie, the love of his life. On his honeymoon in Venice. 

Before he gave it all away. 

He wishes he could go back and live differently. But to do so risks everything . . . 

  

Honey by Imani Thompson  

Yrsa is in a funk. She’s bored of her PhD program, bored of her research on Afropessimism, bored of the entitled undergrads she has to cater to. But most of all, she’s bored of the men in her life—especially the bad ones. 

When her best friend, Nina, confesses to having an affair with her professor, and that he’s stolen her research, Yrsa is mad. On the quad, Yrsa bumps into the professor and witnesses his death: an unfortunate incident involving his San Pellegrino and a bee allergy. What she sees that afternoon awakens something in her: a taste for murder. 

Emboldened, Yrsa decides to chase that high, and soon, no sexist, misbehaving man within commuting distance is safe. 

With each murder, Yrsa feels a greater sense of meaning and purpose—finally, her doctoral research feels useful. But how long can killing in the name of feminist and racial solidarity justify her actions? Will her rampage ever assuage her feelings of rage and revenge? And how long until her actions—and buried family secrets—come back to haunt her?
