The exit of Waxy Maxy

[Globaltruth]

Hard to beat Burning Spear's 'Slavery Days', but Tiken Jah Fakoly has done a grand Malian inspired job of it. Max played it in his excellent show on Tuesday with a nice reggae inspired show to celebrate the Booker Winner.

Yes, I liked that but not that deconstructed cello thing that droned on for hours.i say NO to Christopher Fox re:play.
MR allowed the occasional mistake, needs to watch our for self-conscious hippery.

"just had a twee tweet from the Cereal Killers in Shoreditch to say they were enjoying some tea-smoked duck feet Krispos whilst listening to that last one"

Like Cam and his porker, beyond parody...

Had never heard of these guys before and they are definitely my kind of thing - but then so, ahem, was The Big Breakfast.

Stick Mr GongGong's mind maps in their heads and that is a great recipe for how the whole of society should be organised.

I really couldn't be more enthusiastic about this concept if I tried - and believe me, a lot of my years have been very trying.

One of the best tracks of Max's previous week?

(opening track Weds)
Well chosen....

8 views on YouTube so far - may be in double figures by December at this rate.

Had a listen to the Max half-hour 2015 round-up this morning for breakfast, and what a lovely 30 mins it was with live Blick in there among others. But that Trio Medieval version of the 'Song of Songs' that finished the show was a total gem.

All the very best for 2016 to all.

Was it just me, or was that an absolutely terrific LJ from Max last night?

Here's a couple of samples (well, nearly)

I really enjoyed the Zea track that evening but don't beat the original...actually not much does.

Yup, some good stuff on there last night, well the first few pieces anyway.

Really enjoyed the first one, link over on the Funkpoparoll thread.

Was that the theme from a travel programme or something, sainty? It was great to hear it again.

From the safest places come the bravest words.

how come this thread has lost its thread

[Globaltruth]

You've lost me there with that liverish comment. We'd have said the same whether there were 3 or 3 million readers or just 1.
Ah well, I'll just wait a couple of years for a response.

Been very light on Hildegard Von Bingen lately on LJ, OP
You definitely need more 12th C visionary polymath nuns...

Or maybe just that Geeshie Wiley 'Last Kind Words' track. Nil desperandum :-)

[johncorrigan]

Who was that masked man?

[Oliver Postgate]

safe places brave words lost threads and masked men

Who was that masked man?

well.... teamsaint said that stuff about only the brave deserve the safe

and lennybruce told us how you never find out who the masked man is cos he has a problem hearing people say thankyou after he's sorted it all out, so he vamooses before you can say hiyo silverware

and as for Noggin..well thats a thread lost to us all

i havent heard geeshie on LJ for a few years so who knows , they might dust off the cobwebs soon, though i'd swear she was on a recent Global Beats Americana prog on world service ....which was apparently all about new artists

12th C visionary polymath nuns deserve their own show and thats a fact

is that the williamtell overture i can hear ...

[Globaltruth]

Well that's a happier gate post, and a quick return too...

Don't leave it so long OP - always a pleasure, never a chore. we'll keep on plugging. Who knows, you may even play some of my stuff from the 70's one of these days.
