Insects Mix

by 26 Comments

The end of November marks the end of an era, as Edinburgh based station Tak Tent Radio sadly closes down. I have contributed many mixes to them over the years, on subjects as diverse as dreams, Afro-Funk, Rockabilly, natural disasters, etc and my final one is on INSECTS. The Garden of Earthly Delights mixes will carry on of course without subscription on my Mixcloud page. Meanwhile I hope you dig this Skylarking groove!

I decided to try and start something from an idea I had. This is a new show which I will try to publish weekly but, due to work commitments, it may come bi-weekly.

The format is as follows:

Old – 3 tracks relating to a particular artist album, genre or theme with all the tracks at least 20 years old New – 3 tracks from an album issued within the last 12 months Borrowed – 3 cover songs Blue – 3 Blues tracks

In this 1st show we look at the following:

Old – Walt Aldridge – Songwriter New – Hannah Aldridge – 2014 album Razor Wire Borrowed – A mixture of cover songs Blue – 3 tracks from Otis Taylor.

If you like the music please go and visit the artist’s website and buy a CD or go see them live.

Joe’s Musical Miscellany #2 – Drinking Wine

by 3 Comments

This started out on being a 1 hour mix but I got a bit carried away and it ended up at 2.5 hours. I am sure you can all think of lots more wine drinking songs and feel free to add these in the comments. I tried to get in a variety of genres so hope that works well. Afterworders, I am sure you cannot resist – feel free to add Youtube links etc to any additions on here

Apologies for the duplicate song but hopefully will not spoil things too much. I hope you enjoy listening. Please share and leave comments
