Mr Trick & Wrongtom: Show #51 (Sept.’09)

Mr Trick — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 20:20:34 +0000

With its soothing opening number and sordid assortment of visceral assaults on your ears, this is indeed a step away from usual shows. Or, we could be lying, with anyone from Lindisfarne to Rockney legends Chas & Dave both making an appearance in the one show. Which is true? Well, that would be telling…

… unless you read the tracklist below, which kinda ruins the surprise

Get stuck in people! And thanks to those of you who are keeping up the regular comms via Twitter, SMS or email (well, maybe not the latter -- even we’ve forgotten what our email address is). However we still want MORE COMMUNICATION from you dirty heathens, so when we resurface this Wednesday, be sure to send us a message by whatever means necessary -- even carrier pigeon if need be…

Tracklisting:
The Jesus Lizard “Boilermaker”
Jack Peñate “Pull My Heart Away (Jamie XX Remix)”
The X-Men “Wordplay”
Chas & Dave “Turn That Noise Down”
Lindisfarne “We Can Swing Together (Live)”
The Feelies “Crazy Rhythms”
LV “Don’t Judge”

The soundbed features a selection of tracks from the forthcoming “Marabu Series EP” by Remdog on 2600 Recordings

Mr Trick & Wrongtom: Show #38 – special guest BILL BREWSTER

This week we were joined by journalist, author and djhistory.com founder Bill Brewster, who brought with him a fine selection of tracks by artists both known and obscure for your delectation. It has to be said, Bill is very much a man on our wavelength; a true music fan with catholic tastes, it transpired he also shared our love of “double take” tracks, i.e. great tracks by well-known artists most people write off as rubbish. Ever think you’d hear a Jamiroquai track on the show? Neither did we but trust us, the one Bill selects is amazing.

If we’re honest, these kind of shows are manna from heaven for us, as they represent a chance to have someone else make the selections and potentially switch us on to both classic tracks and artists we may have slept on. Bill brought that in droves, airing killer songs from artists we knew of whilst turning us onto the likes of Kevin Hewick, Magazine 60 and The Feelies, one of Stiff Records’ lesser-known signings who -- on the basis of the awesome track Bill aired -- are to be sought out immediately.

Or, as listener JedB put it in a mid-show message, “these track selections are even more eccentric than usual!”… which we’re taking to be a good thing!

Be sure to check out the treasure trove that is Bill’s djhistory.com website, and if you’ve not already we strongly recommend you buy his excellent work with DJHistory co-founder Frank Broughton, “Last Night A DJ Saved My Life”

Oh, and this was our featured video for this show -- Mark the 45 King rocking a pair of Vestax Handytrax turntables, which Bill told us about after I’d mentioned how I’d found that Utmost 45 at a fair thanks to me having the Handytrax with me…
