Well, if he wasn’t dead you could. Last night’s When Big Joan Sets Up rode a big fat coach and horses through the Ofcom guidlines by playing a record by the 20th Century’s longest serving leader of a politcal party (I haven’t checked this, so don’t pull me up on it – I’m printing the legend), Screaming Lord Sutch which was plucked from the corners of my dad’s records collection , plus, and equally bonkers, in it’s way an epic peice from the mighty Can recorded in 1973. Oh and seeing as though we’re supposed to be a new music prgramme some new tunes too. Oh, and Annie Nightingale is a national treasure.
The Tunes:

“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors”
– Plato
With that in mind, if you are reading this before the general election (it’s tomorrow at the time of writing) please do one thing for me …..
If you were thinking of not voting at all in protest, i.e. staying away from the polling station, I would like to urge you to still actually go along, but make your protest by instead spoiling your ballot paper. The reason is this: to those counting the votes, there is no difference between your stay-at-home protest and apathy.

“Yorkshire’s best and most original independent music festival” (in their own words, and who’s to disagree?) is back, and to mark it myself and Laura Rawlings previewed the festival in our shows tonight. Partially because Bradford’s Little Attic Records (home to Wilful Missing) are curating one of the stages, there are quite a number of West Yorkshire artists playing. Laura played previous BCB session tracks by some of the artists playing, and I slotted in a few studio recordings by some of the artists too. Full details of the festival can be found on the Rough Beats website.
Here’s the full list of what I played in my show:

The following is a list of a few of the new releases played recently on BCB that aren’t included in other posts here on the blog. This isn’t everything else mind, because I don’t know what every presenter plays. It’s just the others I know of at the time of writing.
Only a wazzock would begin a blog entry about what he played on his radio show this week by discussing a band whose wares he failed to commit to the airwaves. I am that aforementioned hitherto hypothetical wazzock. I had all good intentions of playing Salsa Celtica on this week’s programme, and then when the weekly task of packing the record bag full of goodies in preparation for the programme came along, I just plain forgot. If you see me on the street, feel free to point and boo me for my continued enslavement to lacksadaisy.
The timing of the proposed play was imperative, as it was meant to serve as a “heads up” – as I believe trendy people say – to the fact that Salsa Celtica, who released their new live album En Vivo En El Norte on 19 April, are set to play at Victoria Hall this coming weekend as a part of this 2010’s Saltaire Live.
Salsa Celtica - only one of them was expecting rain.

This is, of course, one of the cries of the common, or garden Dad alongside the evergreen “You’re not going out like that, are you?”,”You can’t tell if it’s a man or a woman (normally uttered whilst watching the latest pop sensations) and the rather parochial, but deathless “He wouldn’t get through t’pit gates dressed like that”
But as those of us who are of a certain vintage are only too aware , as the gnarled hands of impending gifferdom close around our hitherto youthful and vibrant souls , we too will eventually cheat at arguing by saying “Well when you’ve lived as long as I have, son you find that that’s just not true” and piss ourselves laughing at our own jokes.
The point (yes, unusually for these missives ,there is one), is that our dads,despite their gravy stained cardigans with football buttons and inexplicable affection for the work of David Jason, were once cool, impressively coiffured young bucks who jived/twisted/pogoed to the latest tunes with the same kind of abandon as Albert Freeman in a greengrocers, and mine was no exception.
Which is why my dad came into the studio this week to introduce a new feature “Bri’s Revived 45” where I play things that I have nicked from his impressive record collection. ( and he did say “that’s just noise” during the Hair Police track but that’s because er…it is)
