It's my job JC, I do it so you don't have to. Also appeals to the train-spotterish side....Originally posted by johncorrigan View PostThanks for shining a light on her, Global. I need to up my game!
Anyway I gave the programme a listen. An awful lot of Lou Reed stuff - to whom LA was married, ex-VU, now dead. Not all of the music played was great, Laurie Anderson and JLA talking being generally more provocative. Espcially the bit about the sixth extinction (at about 1hr 20m in) which lead neatly to this LA 2014 track, Transitory Life which I liked very much.
JLA is a fresh voice with good energy, enthusiasm and ideas. I'll give her a chance and do wonder what she'd get up to with a show of her own. (didn't have to wait long to find out - she's doing the next show too... not listened to it yet

Maybe we should lobby her to see if we can bring her focus on to WM - or, perhaps we should rebrand that as Global Sounds.Last edited by Globaltruth; 01-03-19, 13:43.Comment

Fifer James Yorkston compiled a rather excellent playlist for freak zone on BBC Radio 6 music Sounds.
...also this evening 'Words and Music' is about 'Heroines' for forthcoming International Women's Day and included a specially composed piece by Lucy Pankhurst and performed by Eliza Carthy... and there's some Angelique Kidjo and Janelle Monae and Billie Holiday. Good stuff!

If you fancy a spot of World Music for a Friday evening you could do a darn sight worse than listen to Damon Albarn and Paul Simenon standing in for Iggy Pop on 6 this evening. Top tunes.

A repeat of this 30 part series from 2013. Missed it first time around, discovered it to be definitely worth a listen....definitive history of World Music
Arcy site which contains the cave in which they demonstrate the theory about the correlation between acoustics and drawings
and a clip of a wax cylinder recording of talking drums (Episode 2)

BBC Radio 3 re-ran the Drama on 3 from a couple of years ago about Ivor Cutler with Sandy Grierson - made for a nice trip back home from Paisley this evening.

Thanks for the reminder JC, listened again and found it fascinating...
Anyway because it’s Eid, this morning Petroc T. played an Iranian maqam - Samai maqam Bayati by Moslem Rahal, Jordi Savall and Bayati Bouhassoun.
In case you missed it..here’s another version:

Nitin Sawhney was cast away this morning...nice enough collection of tunes, but he's really kinda boring and not helped by Lauren Laverne really.

Honest as ever JC - pretty much how I'd sum him up... although I did buy one of his CD's once in 2003 in a moment of weakness.Originally posted by johncorrigan View Post
I remember thinking though how odd it was that the singer doesn't get a credit - sounds like Neneh Cherry to me.Comment

In the last five or six minutes of this week's 'Last Word' on Radio 4, a celebration of the life of Dave Bartholomew who died recently at the ripe old age of 100.

Caught a bit of Mari Boine on BBC Alba last night in a concert from a few years back.

Wondered if you were listening...not enough time to do his influential life in music justice, definitely deserves a whole programme.Originally posted by johncorrigan View PostComment
