The exit of Waxy Maxy

That Sun Ra - Cantina y Su Combo Combi was a topnotcher Paul.

[Paul Sherratt]

John,
It really was.
Mind you Soundway Records does make dj'ing a much easier job

Crazily, tonight, I've been attempting to listen to two shows at the same time ... !

Any top tweets for tonight, GT ?

just the usual.

However you may care to wonder who that Dr. Goon on the chain is who follows us...

I couldn't comment (insert your own 3 dots, I've run out temporarily)

[Paul Sherratt]

What I'm a wonderin' is how when I went off to the moon with Eileen Rose following that Rose of Monterey and looked back at mother earth
a whole batch of phantom tunes had turned up.

Space debris ?

But by 'eck there are more fine items on that list than you'll hear from two or three of our national public stations in a lunar year.

So a future LJ curated by Max will play Dock Boggs or Max Mathews or Carl+Windy (huh?) at some point...aural democracy in action.

Max...trumps...last night...comes up - re-arrange into a well known expression of thanks.

I assumed while listening G, that the Dock Boggs was you inspired - can't get too much Dock Boggs in any one show. Excellent!

The sun ra thread....

Max has been known to play a bit of Sun Ra.

He (and you ) may enjoy this...

or then again not...

I particularly liked the idea of 'near-lethal doses of reverb' .

[Globaltruth]

Prog not frog - whatever that means (personally I'm with the frog)

It's good to share stuff...

try going here

http://prognotfrog.com/blogwatch

and typing in words like

' world music'

and you'll be directed to wonderful WM from the likes of Black Sabbath (huh?), Black Uhuru , Classical Egyptian Music (interesting), Charlie G's last CD (:cool2:). You can download mp3 files that will time expire for free or listen. Unless you're doing this on a Mac - just doesn't work.
Another source..

The return to the studio...

Catching up on iplayer, Tuesday's show once again suffered from the slack editing syndrome - 10 mins at the start on the healing powers of opera, all well and good but not what I'd planned to listen to. Ameliorated by some John Lee Hooker who rarely gets enough airplay or credit (and should feature in discussions on the other thread about Van M).
Tinariwen are evolving, morphing...currently a soft rock sound, so jury is out till I have heard more, but how interesting to listen to the changes Western culture continues to make to their desert sound. 'interesting'...change is inevitable.

The ambient electro lullaby was of its time (I made a mental note to maybe point Max at the Berceuse musicbox stuff if he doesn't know it already).

I loved the violin pieces - this is when the 'crazy' mix of LJ works so well - one track softens you up for the next, the aural contrast setting has to be subtlely done and Max often gets it right.

Prognotfrog didn't appear for me. Pity because it sounded interesting. On slack editing, I noticed that the interview with Abigail Washburn at Charlton Park had at least a couple of minutes of duplication. Problems with splicing on the spools I guess.

[Globaltruth]

Max returns next week, and of particular interest to some of us will be what he has to say about Vieux Farke Touré's version of The Secret.


(note to self - need longer posts, too much time twittering)

[Lateralthinking1]

Should be an improvement. Having said as much, I recall AK saying that he thought VFT was overrated, not that I would necessarily agree with him on that point.

[Globaltruth]

I think he may be evolving and developing into a powerful musician...after a/some period(s) of experimentation he has returned with what is surely a masterly album.

He also appears on this album on spot which is, er, well, what is it? a travesty? fun?

The Covers album
I'm torn between recommending that you start with Ramesh B Weeratunga if you're going to start anywhere.

or just go straight to the same on YouTube for 3mins 23 secs where Zorro meets Tonto on the beach; no curry gags please.

or should it be

Hmm only about half of it is worth listening too...shame, good idea. but I think we've covered it better on Spotify somewhere in the past...

Well after an evening in St Ives with Martin Simpson & Band where light and shade was rather lacking it has come
as quite a relief to sit down with a drink and listen to Lateish Night Radio 3 !
