Happy Birthday Bob Revisited! Going North from Nashville, Monday 21st May , 10-11pm

In this his 71st birthday week we revisit our celebration of Bob Dylan’s 70th.

He’s been cited as influencing just about everyone we’ve ever interviewed for Going North from Nashville. His music refuses to be limited to any one genre, but reaches across all types of Americana & has done so for the past 50 years. Including listeners’ requests from Bob Dylan’s extensive ‘back pages’, the programme is an excellent & varied ‘snap shot’ of Dylan’s 50 year career.

Jolene: Together Through Life

Like A Rolling Stone: Drive By Truckers version

Not Dark Yet : Time Out Of Mind

Talking Bear Picnic Massacre Blues : Witmark demos

I Belive in You: Ceris Matthews version

Every Grain of Sand : Emmylou Harris version

Blind Willie McTell: Bootleg Series 1-3

Tweeter & the Monkey Man: Travelling Wibury’s 1

Si Tu Dois Partir: Fairport Convention

 You Ain’t Goin Nowhere: The Byrds

Make You Feel My Love: Time Out Of Mind

Something there is About You:  Planet Waves

Diamonds & Rust: Joan Baez

Eclectic Mainline 16th May 2012

I’m really rather excited by the imminence of a new album by Liars.  They’re amazing live, so you should go and see them if you get chance this year.  Here’s the new single, as played in tonight’s show:

 

If you’re in Leeds tomorrow night, you should get yourself along to Gary Stewart’s new EP launch at the Brudenel Social Club.  Here’s ‘Blue’ the song I played tonight:

Blue Master-MP3 by garystewart

If you’re keen enough to listen again, or even for the first time, to tonight’s show, you will magically find an opportunity to do so here.  And I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but this is what you would hear:

The Magnetic Fields – “Andrew In Drag” (LP – “Love At The Bottom Of The Sea”) (Domino)
FilFla – “Iso-Circle” (CD – “Fliptap”) (Someone Good)
Liars – “No.1 Against The Rush” (single and LP – “WIXIW”) (Mute)
Gary Stewart – “Blue” (“Year and a Day EP”) (self released)
Volcano – “Long Gone” (LP – “Piñata”) (Leaf)
Don Preston – “Analog Heaven #7” (LP – “Filters, Oscillators & Envelopes 1967-82”) (Sub Rosa)
Flats – “Shuffle” (LP – “Better Living”) (Sweat Shop)
Neutral Milk Hotel – “Holland, 1945” (LP – “In An Aeroplane Over The Sea”) (Domino)
Amon Tobin – “Angels & Demons” (Amon Tobin box set) (Ninja Tune)
White Rabbits – “Temporary” (single and LP – “Milk Famous”) (Mute)

King Creosote – “Doubles Underneath” (EP – “I Learned From The Gaels”) (Domino)

Eclectic Mainline playlist 9th May 2012

The album by Flats has been something of a revelation to me.  A revelation partly because I thought the band were new to me, but it turns out they are not.  Phil Cope tells me I played a single of theirs last year, and it turns out he is right.  I played a Flats single  in April 2011, as did Phil, a month earlier.  But mainly the Flats album is a revelation because it’s bloody brilliant.  You can hear Moonwalk, the tune I played tonight, on Soundcloud. (embedding seems to have been disabled – dear One Little Indian, please enable embedding on this wonderful tune)

A tune that Domino have enabled embedding for is this wonderful song from the new album by The Magnetic Fields:

The Magnetic Fields – Quick! by DominoRecordCo

Another tune I can include here for you is that by From The Mouth Of The Sun.  I’ve said this a few times over the past year or so, but I’ll say it again.   If I could change my own style of music to any other style, this is what I’d like to sound like:

If you want to listen again to the show, you’ll find it over here.  And here’s a list of all the tunes I played:

Eclectic Mainline 2nd May 2012

There were several tunes in tonight’s show that I thought were quite wonderful.  One of them was this gorgeous tune by From The Mouth of the Sun:

Mention must also go to the Muddy Waters Blues Band release, Mud In Your Ear.  Luther “Snake Boy” Johnson led the band on this one, when recorded in 1967.  There were apparently contractual reasons why Muddy Waters himself could not lead the band.  It stands up well and is recognisably Muddy in character.

If you wish to listen again to tonight’s whole show, you’ll find it on the BCB Listen Again service for 2nd May 2012. Here’s a full list of the tunes I played:

Malorix – “Stretch Out Your Frown (Zea remix)” (12″ – “Malorix Remixed and Recycled”) (Makkum)

Blockhead – “Never Forget Your Token” (LP – “Interlude After Midnight”) (Ninja Tune)
Muddy Waters Blues Band – “Evil” (CD – “Mud In Your Ear”) (Douglas Records / Wienerworld)
Füxa – “Some Things Last A Long Time” (LP – “Electric Sound Of Summer”) (Rocket Girl)

After last week’s Record Store Day preview show, it was back to business as usual tonight.  I think my personal favourite in tonight’s show was this one by Clark:

Eclectic Mainline 18th April 2012 – Record Store Day special

Tonight’s was a special show dedicated to releases that are coming on on Saturday 21st April, the annual Record Store Day event.  The official UK Record Store Day 2012 website has a full list of releases coming out on the day.

Record Store Day 2012

 

During the show I spoke to Adam of Jumbo Records in Leeds.  Jumbo have arranged a really special line-up of in-store performances for Record Store Day.   If you do make it into Leeds, I would advise you also visit Crash Records who are, of course, also stocking a wide range of special releases for Record Store Day.

I must confess I got something wrong in the show tonight.  I said that the Wickerman 7″ is on BBC Records.  It is, in fact, nothing to do with the BBC, but is released on Silva Screen.

If you missed the show you can hear it on the BCB Listen Again service, here.  Apologies for the low bit-rate and low volume.

Here is a full list of the Record Store Day releases that I played tonight:
