With some trepidation we step out for our first show since leaving Resonance FM in Dec. 2009. Battling a few technical gremlins we toured the usual broad array of treats, taking in anything from poorly freestyled classical to rap reggae to southern harmonies to blaxpoitational soul. And Rastamouse.
[..]Rolling in for show 2, we battled the usual technical gremlins to deliver a spread of music taking in slow jams, reggae glory, math rockin’ guitar heroics, 808 drum classics and the dumbest 80s party anthem of all time, courtesy of Flipper.
[..]This week we veer from the Cumbia sound of Colombia’s caribbean coast to the Ealing-made post-punk DIYness of Celebration via a former Digable Planet and the pairing of drugs hoovers Ministry with straight-edge, Fugazi legend Ian MacKaye. Much talk this time around, taking in the Loudness Wars, the merits of Neil Young, the mis-pressings of Del Shannon and more… Take a listen!
[..]This week we delve into the world of Bass music, dropping Pink Panther theme, Ghettotech soulfulness, easily the daftest Miami Bass track Trick’s ever heard and a curiously brilliant UK track from Rudi Zygadlo. In addition we visit a classic from the Ze catalogue, a ska shaving advert, choral music played by a sex tourist (or at least a man who looks a bit like one) and argue over afro-rock…
[..]This week we’re joined by friend of the show and host of The Divine Chord Gospel Show, Greg Belson, who, we can’t deny, raises the standards no end with a selection of rare 45s that blew our mind. And we say rare, we ain’t lying: one of them is only one of nine in existence – and GODDAMN IT IS GOOD. Stellar lost funk and gospel are on the cards here and every one is simply sublime. Take a listen to hear what we mean – then go check Greg’s own show where you’ll find all these and more…
