MAK's most recent show

[Globaltruth]

>> Miss it if you dare


Will there be a short test in a day or two ?

What a brilliant idea.

Q1 Where was the second place Jackie Oates lived before moving Down south? Why is it a good place for a chase?

Q2 What was MAK's take on Dengue Fever? The band not the disease. and how refreshing an opinion was that?

Q3 Which track told us a story through hidden meanings? And what was the story?

Q4 How many beans make 5 ?

Q5 Which new release should MAK have played that she didn't? No, not that one, the one I'm thinking of. Or the other one you're thinking of.

Q6 How much more of this would you like?

[johncorrigan]

1. Was it Drumnadrochit, Global - is it because that's where Nessie exits the Loch? ( Global, I can hear you saying, 'are you asking me or telling me JC?')
2. Is it that with this new record DF (the band) have overtaken DF (the disease) on the pleasure front as far as Mary Ann is concerned?
3. Julaba Kunda — Scotland, cos it was an allegory as all things to do with Scotland are!
4. Just made Twenty-one.
5. I thought it was 'Beatles and the Stones' http://open.spotify.com/track/4omTwEOlbp5ia5g3bQH4xY but then changed my mind - are you sure you're not some kinda Derren Brown type G?
6. If it's the blinkin' weather out there you're talkin' about then no much thanks - heatwave...not up here it ain't.
7. Is that the phantom poser?

By the way, it was a fine show indeed.

6 out of 9 there JC,
Q1 - I have provided the answer in tracks 1218 and 1219 of The Chain.

[johncorrigan]

6 out of 9

I don't mind! I don't mind!

[Globaltruth]

I don't mind! I don't mind!

It's the taking part that matters.
Or is it? That's the question....



The other answer is correct - it was a fine show. Depth and breadth, depth and breadth.

I don't mind! I don't mind!

Dig.

Is this a callout for Globaltooth?
Anyway we should discuss Later... And Fatoumata Diawara.
I've been reading about her and watched the show purely because she was on it - then she gets 1 song, whilst other people less to my taste got THREE. So jury still out, must check her out on spot, her album Fatou is on there...at least a WM artist got a tiny bit of exposure on a mainstream BBC prog.

[johncorrigan]

I always remember Ali Farka Toure being on Later and he wiped the floor with everyone else - and it only took him one track. I saw Fatoumata on Tuesday's show and wondered if we'd see more of her or just more of the other p***. I've heard a few from her record but it hasn't really got to me. Not like this one anyway.

You're right; it was Wilko Johnson and his blockheads who stole the show - both music and interview. I loved the Latin tags which you could see him dragging up from deep memory. A class act and, ahem, real.

[johncorrigan]

Now that you mention it Global I did see Wilco getting interviewed by Mr Holland and talking about Canvey Island and the unbeatable view across the Thames Estuary.

Although Ms. Talkington didn't play this exact track last night, she got really close...

a good show which deserves a fuller post on the right thread..

[johncorrigan]

Mary Ann's been playing a wee bit stuff from her Cape Breton visit but for me none can possibly be finer than a track she played last night close to the end of the show by Dentdelion titled 'La rose et le lion' - I thought it was terrific. The Brendan Power/Tim Edey track was great too and with qawwali singer Adeel Saeed Chishti putting in a really interesting and enjoyable set in Lopa's company the whole was a right enjoyable listen. She also played a taster from the Bulgarian voices which as Lat said elsewhere pointing out the shortened WR tomorrow evening might have meant there ain't room for everything. Anyway I'll be giving them a good listen.

This was a very good edition of the programme. I feel that MAK includes far more Womad artists than Lopa, frequently as the contributors to tracks rather than the main artists. There was also a Peel aspect - Half Man Half Biscuit, Kanda Bongo Man.

Enjoyed it all - but the final half hour was the best. Completely agree on Dentdelion and loved La Bottine Souriante. Really looking forward to that programme from Quebec. And I did enjoy the final two - Carlos Orozco - from an interesting looking "World Routes on the Road" cd - and "Tom Devil" from Ed Lewis and the Prisoners.

[johncorrigan]

In general Mary Ann's shows are a bit more gentle that Lopa's efforts.
She had good guests, Old Sledge, on this week who seemed a pretty cheery bunch but she had a great choice of music. I enjoyed the Japanese choices especially Shunsuke Kimura & Etsuro Ono who I think may have been guests in the not too dim and distant past preceded by Andrew Kronshaw and followed by some fine music from Kosovo. Really liked the African 78s too and the Mary Hampton track - another very fine singer; and she played a great bit of sean nos - she pronounces it so well too. I find myself thinking that she is improving all the time.

Lest it slip your notice Mary Ann put in a fine shift on Friday; she hit the ground running with a bit of Brittany meets Addis. Really recommend that you don't miss Cahalen Morrison & Eli West doing 'Lost Lovin Gal' - excellent. Guests were very entertaining though the chat went on a bit too long - buncha Scots thigither cannae stop bletherin'.

Ethno in Transit 'Ej Lasko' caught me off-guard - I had already consigned it to the 'I don't like this' file when I found myself captivated. The African 78s were great especially 'Guelabiessi'.....and MA played a track from the forthcoming World Routes on the road CD out in the New Year which sounded great.
