Le menu – Wed 28th Feb

Hello you,

Ok, have you seen the bit of paper I wrote the track listings on for last week’s show? It’s A4, white with scrawl on it, probably a bit crumpled by now?Are you hiding it? Help! I’ve looked everywhere AND unpacked every banana box in the flippin living room and it’s just not there. So, I start this post with an apology for bad filing and a promise that I’ll try really hard next week. On the upside, it’s better to listen to the show so put this addy in the bar at the top if you missed it…http://www.podcast.canstream.co.uk/bcb/index.php?page=16

and scroll down to click on The BCB Sessions

We’re sending out a big BCB Sessions bon chance to all the bands heading off to SXSW and playing at the Yorks & NE SXSW 2011 Showcase on Sat 19th. Thanks Pat (Timeless Music Project) for coming on the show and making us all jealous! Thanks also to Duane Simon – featured artist of the week…I had your track going round in my head for ages, a proper ear worm.

Now then onwards to this week’s show (Wed 9th March) and we’re doing a full on nod to International Women’s Day with female DJ’s from across BCB’s specialist music schedule and friends of the show talking about their favourite female artists and playing some of their songs. The show’s live from 9pm on 106.6fm and online at www.bcbradio.co.uk If you miss it then you can listen again by clicking on the pink highlights box on the BCB homepage. If there’s a particular female fronted band or artist you’d like to hear then get in touch: laura.rawlings@bcbradio.co.uk and we’ll put a quid in the BCB jukebox and see what happens.

Until Wed at 9,

When Big Joan Sets Up 3/3/11 – Stay Alive in ’75

I'd wear itA change to some listings this week, as the dreaded manflu (defintion – like women’s flu but MUCH WORSE!) has sundered my previously mellifluous tones and replaced them with something that sounds like someone sandpapering a door frame.

So – back, back, back, we go to a conversation that I had with Albert about a year ago, when we speculated as to what our prgrammes would have sounded like had BCB existed back in the day.

Galvanised into action by this conversation I asked Albert to name a random year for me to build a programme around. Having already dealt with 1987 previously, his second suggestion was 1975.

So this week’s programme was a tribute to the days when, if you were very good and ate all your Vesta curry and Angel Delight , your mam would let you stop up and watch “Fawlty Towers” and if you were bad she’d make you listen to the Radio 1 breakfast show with Noel Edmonds.

Starting with the obvious but enduringly wonderful….

A golden year in the making?

Is 2011 already developing into something of a golden year for music?

We’re only two months into the year but I’ve already been impressed by a huge number of records – many of them from new bands.

So settle down to this week’s edition of Bradford Beat and listen to new tunes from the likes of Young Knives, Fleet Foxes, Gang of Four, Chapel Club, Tom Williams and the Boat – not to mention Bradford’s very own flavours of the month handmandhands and Terrorvision.

Bradford Beat is on air every Thursday from 8pm to 9pm on BCB 106.6FM

Radio Buffet #20

On episode 20 of Buffet, Jenny Jet asked the question “Coldplay – why?”. We don’t like them, they are very beige. But we did play some music we like very very much, including a snapshot from a re-issue of Spunkle’s 2003 soundscape Music for DXing (on First Fold records). Here’s a video link: http://www.youtube.com/firstfoldmusic#p/u/3/Tt1PdFDmgAs

And here’s a complete list of what we played, which you can, of course, hear on BCB’s new listen again feature:

1. Theme from Tales of the Unexpected
2. MOGWAI – George Square Thatcher Death Party
3. CAROLINE – Gone
4. THE COUNT AND SINDEN – Elelphant 1234
