Time for the Blues – 39 years hard labour

I’m officially out of work – have I got the blues? Well, I have a blues show, but am quite chirpy really. I left Bradford Council today and (only partly as a result) the 22nd May show is all Blues, with a capital Blues. The main reason for this week’s programme is that I was contacted by Blues Boy John of Keighley Blues Club, and that made me think it was some time since I had an all Blues programme. He sent me some music by Cherry Lee Mewis (geddit) who is at the club on 10th June. I’ll play the tracks on the 29th May programme, next week. Very good they are too. www.keighleybluesclub.net

Water Melon Slim – Hard labour
Slim Harpo – Sittin’ here wondering
Taj Mahal –You’re gonna need somebody on your bond*
Elmore James – Dust my broom
Lil Ed & the Blues Imperials – You done me wrong for the last time
Captain Beefheart – Ah feel like ahcid
John Mayall – Ramblin’ on my mind
Jimmy Reed – Baby, what do you want me to do
John Lee Hooker – Dimples

When Big Joan Sets Up 19th May – What We Did On Our Holidays

Last weekend me, Albert “Did You By Any Chance See Waterloo Road Last Wednesday?” Freeman and our friends Jim and Simon went to the All Tomorrow’s Parties festival in Minehead, ate too much candy floss, got terrorised by killer Nazi geese, won the F.A. Cup,  saw some ace bands and avoided some rubbish ones (hello, Animal Collective).

Once we have washed our underpants and had a nice sit down, we’ll tell you all about it, but for now, tonight’s When Big Joan Sets Up featured some of the records that we spent far too much money on while we were there as well as three tracks from the masterful new P.S. Eliot LP “Sadie” and to start the programme the team up that we’ve all been waiting for…

Eclectic Mainline – 18th May 2011

Here’s the exquisitely sad video to the brilliant Low tune I played tonight, taken from their marvellous new album, C’mon.

Before my list of tonight’s tunes, an adendum.  I seem to have neglected to mention in my playlist of 2 weeks ago that I played something by Mark McGuire.  Do I go back and edit said playlist or mention it today?  I’ll do the latter.  I played “Slipstreams” by him 2 weeks ago, and another tune from the same album tonight.  Here’s the *full* list of tonight’s tunes: Continue reading

What up dawgs, as the Middleton family say (note:check is this is right).

Eclectic Mainline – 11th May 2011

Every so often (actually, quite often) some music comes along that I think is amazing.  Every so often (literally) I see some album artwork that I think is amazing.  Enter M. Ostermeier, whose new album combines beautiful music with a quite captivating, ‘is that real?’ cover photo.  It is real, and to find out where it is from, simply clickety click on the photo below.

You would be forgiven for missing the first half of tonight’s show and watching Waterloo Road instead because I, as one fifth of Wilful Missing, had music featured in today’s episode.  A very proud day indeed.  If you did miss any of my show you can listen again for up to 28 days.  Here’s a full list of what I played (several long tunes tonight, hence a smaller number of tunes in total): Continue reading
