Here in New Zealand, the nights they are cold. Many of our days are wet and windy. Yup, it's winter. On the other side of the world, Brian D is getting ready to hold his annual summer party! What a lucky dude. It helps him get over the football you see. And it was on 19 June 1936 that Tommy DeVito of The Four Seasons was born. Oh what a night!

Hey hey hey! It’s Saturday and that means Bonair, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. EST here on mushroomfm.com and in all your fav music apps. I’ll be filling two hours with some great tunes, including some from the newly knighted Rod Stewart, and of course taking your requests. “Food for Thought” returns with a tasty Thai chicken curry recipe, and there will be the usual Bonnie banter to keep you entertained. I love hearing from listeners, so if you would like to contact the show, email bonnieatmushroomfm.com or tweet @bonniemosen.

From 11pm Eastern tonight, that’s exactly what we’ll be doing.
That’s 4am Sunday in the UK and 3pm here in New Zealand.
For four hours I’ll be here and ready to party, and rock and party, like it’s 1999 all over again.
Why?
Well I’ve not been on the air for the last two weeks, what with one thing and another, so I’m here to make up for lost time.
The triple threat is back, and the Live and Loud segment also returns.
The rest of the show, is um, well up to you really.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow, doo doo doo, da doo, da deeeeee. And when the Mosen Explosion is on, tomorrow will indeed be only a day away with all its excitement and promise.

Apple will be revealing plenty of exciting new features on all its platforms, and we'll be covering that extensively with our awesome Tech Team show. Are you looking forward to the big reveal? What are you hoping for? We'll look forward to all your thoughts ahead of the big day.

As we blogged earlier this week, Mushroom FM is preparing to begin a new era with more fresh content so you can listen longer. That also means that we’re able to stream a lot more information through the title bar of your media player, and the Now Playing screen in many smartphone apps. TuneIn Radio will also show you what’s on more often, even before you start listening.

Well, at least it is for the two hours following Anne's escapade into the 80s this week, because Bonnie Mosen is indisposed due to the last leg of the triple crown.

Her obedient understudy, Jonathan Modem, is here instead. And I've decided that I should change my name for this show. So from 6 Pm Eastern, for just two hours, my name shall be Phillip in, or Phil in for short.

Next Monday, Apple’s Worldwide developers conference begins with a big reveal. We’ll find out about many of the key new features in iOS 10, the operating system for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch that will be released later in the year. We’ll learn about the name and feature set of the next version of the operating system for the Mac, which may even get a new name. There may be software announcements pertaining to Apple Watch and Apple TV, and who knows what other surprises Apple may have in store.

This blog post announces a significant new chapter for Mushroom FM, taking us in a direction we’ve not travelled before. It may be considered a radical new direction, so I’d like to take some time to explain to our loyal mushroom crowd what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and why we think that you’ll be glad we’re doing it.

It feels like it's a long weekend every other week somewhere. But finally, it's New Zealand's turn. Major squee!
One is celebrating Queen's Birthday Weekend here, as one does on the first Monday in June every year. So it seems like a great opportunity to dust off those Queen albums and make Freddy and the boys one's featured artists on this week's Mosen Explosion. No one ever got fired for playing Queen tracks, one tells you, so one hopes that one is safe for another week.

Float like a butterfly sting like a bee, on this week’s Bonair, we remember Muhammad Ali! Saturday night, the time is right, on mushroomfm.com and in all your fav music apps 6:00 – 8:00 it’ll be great. We’ll take your requests from the East and from the West—playing tunes to make you swoon. The songs we play honour Cassius Clay, to help you fight another day. He was Ali’s rival, but we have to eat for survival, so in “Food for Thought” we’ll take a look from George Foreman’s cookbook. So you’re in the know, here’s how to contact the show.
