The Paleface Parabola - 27-05-2026 The Paleface Parabola - 27-05-2026 Live to hard drive from the Fifth Estate Studio A, we present Audio Verite – aka this week’s Mental Gymnastics and Musical Hopscotch – aka this week’s radio ruckus also known as the Paleface Parabola. Fun for the whole family and less fattening than your cup of Chubby Farmer Ice Cream (yes it actually exsists, I bought some this evening for my silver haired sexy beast). Mental Gymnastics? Abe Lincoln and Sonny Rollins. Musical Hopscotch? Reel Big Fish bringing the amped up Ska. Gil Scott Heron? A lovely track. Sparks? Played a concert two hours from our station's world HQ! Crowded House? Local heroes (at least Neil Finn is). Chris Whitley? One of the 90s best albums. And the Mystery Man’s selection of the week is superb music making. And there’s more to be had where those came from. Feel no Fret. Listen
