Interviewing Chris from Yeasayer
Fun Show this week, with an interview with Chris from Yeasayer! Joel was away, but me and KC were as present as ever. KC’s Backrow Banter was entertaining as always, although it was a shame that we were back to a 6/10 film.
And the interview was fun to do. It may even get another playing at some point.
See you next week at 6.30pm on Wednesday or 1.00pm on Thursday!
Tracklisting:
Gaggle – I Hear Flies
Sondre Lerche – Bluish (Animal Collective Cover)
Yeasayer Interview
Yeasayer – Madder Red
KC’s Backrow Banter – Alice in Wonderland (6/10)
Radikal Satan – Prohibido
Efterklang – The Soft Beating
Well, I’m still coming to terms with the fact that Mark Linkous shot himself on Saturday. But his music will always live on, and I played some tonight, along with, it has to be said, some marvellous new tunes. These were they:
Soulsavers – Some Misunderstanding
Nice Nice – Big Bounce
Sparklehorse – Spirit Ditch
The Loves – Sweet Sister Delia
Liars – Goodnight Everything
Carter Tutti – Too Much, Too Much (from Liars ‘Sisterworld’ album CD2)
Archie Bronson Outfit – Run Gospel Singer
Mahalia Jackson – Come on children, let’s sing
Efterklang – The Soft Beating
Autechre – d-sho qub
Field Music – Share the words
Fursaxa – Poplar Moon
Sparklehorse – Hey, Joe
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Deanna
I was at a loss to decide what would accompany this week’s playlist at first. I like to throw something out that might be of interest rather than just chucking a list of names whenever I post on here, but this week I was struggling to find inspiration.
Thankfully, you can always rely on Sting. If in doubt, have a pop at the artist formerly known as Gordon Sumner for his latest buffoon statement or glass-chewingly bad venture into 20 minute lute plucking. Finding reasons to have a pop a Sting is a bit like shooting fish in a barrel – this is a man, after all, who bashed out the most pretentious album title of all time in the shape of the frankly vomitous Dream of the Blue Turtle, claimed to be “a bit hot” at The Brits as an excuse to take his top off and believes that “cancer is the result of undigested dreams“. The last few weeks, though, the tantric tosser has excelled himself. Not only did he announce a tour of his hits, reworked for a full orchestra (which begs the question; who the bloody hell wants to hear that? [answer: Sting does]) but it was also revealed that he happily played a gig of questionable validity, proving himself not only to be an utter dick of the first order, but in addition to this he’s either a mercenary little turd who can be bought for the right price, or else a man so interned in his own cosy little world he can’t recognise a decent counter argument when it’s rammed up his Roxanne.

Issa Juma and Super Wanyika Stars – ‘World Defeats The Grandfathers – Swinging Swahili Rumba 1982 – 1986’
With the Wanyika brand and a title like that we’re already tempted.

Lionel Richie
Ey, and indeed, up consumers.
This week’s When Big Joan Sets Up was “the usual mixture of agony and ecstacy” (c) my dad, 2010 , pushing the cultural envelope to feature tracks from noisy Americans, frenzied Spaniards, skanking Jamaicans, the sound of the greatest band who ever drew breath live,  secret coded messages from anonymous MI5 agents (really) and, sitting lonley in the pantheon of popular music like a diamond floating in a sea of cat piss and stoat offal , the single solitary good record with the name “Lionel Ritchie” anywhere near it.
And if you don’t think that that all doesn’t add up to an hour of top class light entertainment , then according to my MI5 secret code book, ( supplied by Jez’s Discount Books, High Street Kippax £1.99) you are patently a massive 542562.
Must go now, there’s something going on in the sculpture class, I think I’d better check it out.
