radiopotta – late june podcast – side b

Late arrival, considering it’s july already… however here it is - a playlist for ‘late june’ that begins with Tall Ponys manifesto for a successful relationship ‘I’m your Boyfriend Now’ [“…I will not spend more than three hours at your parents… etc etc”].

Also included is Engineers ‘Sometimes I Realise’ from their second, and now quite possibly, ‘lost’ album. This one is here as it is still sounds like a great single to me.

For me the best albums of the month have been these [admittedly startlingly obvious]
choices, The White Stripes and Fridge.

I’ll be back in a couple of days with a July ‘cast.

Regards,

a couple of random listens...

bed - spacebox

i managed to miss this album when it came out in 2003. it wears it's 'laughing stock' influences on it's sleeve but is still right up my street, and leaves you feeling very 'warm-veined'.


ryan adams - easy tiger

there was a time when i'd have been really excited about a new adams record. easy tiger is the most middle of the road thing i have picked up recently - however it has still got some charm about it. the reviews of it seem to suggest it is his 'best one for ages'. i always get alarm bells when you see reviews like that (it always occurs when artists go through a wall of about ten albums and so prefixes every album review of everyone from the fall to paul mcartney these days) i tend to think it means, 'i can't remember what the last one sounded like - but this ones okay (if you like that kind of thing).

the ting tings

i'd really recommend giving this lot five minutes of yr time. i know it is a bit 'of the moment' 'bit made at a barfly' - however i still rate it!

radiopotta - early june podcast

as usual there is a c90 theme going on so here is side a....

there is a darkish, psychedelic-electro-dub feel to this bit of pod. the red screen record, "future rock" is a particular favourite from this year - as are both the gudren gut/thomas fehlmann "i put a record on" and apparats "arcadia". the slowdive reissue of 1995s "pygmalion" fills a retro slot - but sits nicely with what i've been listening to this month...

Red Screen - Strategy

Move Me - Gudrun Gut

Arcadia - Apparat

Forever Heavy - Black Moth Super Rainbow

Crazy For You - Slowdive

Deserter (4Tet remix) - Matthew Dear

Space Jam 2000.17 - Christian Prommer's Drumlesson

Un Beau Jour - Jay Bharadia

john peel show, 30th may 1984

here is the peel show from the night we won our fourth european cup against as roma, in rome with penalties from neal, souness, rush and kennedy. its an exuberant affair and is co-hosted by peels rhythm pal, david "kid" jensen. jensens role appears to be to stop peel going off on an adrenalin fuelled rampage of hysterical hyperventilation - and to chip in with his somewhat sketchy knowledge of 'soccerball'.

the tape starts with a recording of alan kennedys final penalty, summariser emlyn hughes can barely contain himself.

and the way it is recorded takes me back to listening to radio two commentaries of liverpool games being broadcast from tbilisi or dresden. they were inevitably interrupted by waves of french pop radio and the like , to my battery operated radio stationed under my pillow.

i'll go with fades in slowlys tracklisting:

-We begin with the final penalty in the shootout
-Kop Choir - You'll Never Walk Alone
-The Mighty Wah - Come Back
-The Undertones - Teenage Kicks
-The Pogues - The Dark Streets of London
-The Wailing Souls - John's Shop
-The Membranes - New Breed (I'm not sure if band and song match here, let me know if I'm wrong)
-The Great Unwashed - Duane Eddy
-Duane Eddy - Hard Times
-Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band - Pachuco Cadaver
-Theater of Hate - Legion
-Anti Nowhere League - Streets of London
-Ivor Cutler - Scenes from a Scotch Sitting Room Vol.2 #17
