NEXT WEEK ON #ThePlaylist

I bought a t-shirt that made me laugh last week, and, well, @MintSpies decreed that it should be a theme. Therefore it will be a theme:

Radio Desolation

We want to know what that conjures up in your lightly broken minds, as you trawl your way across an empty wasteland, desperately trying to survive. Or as you watch people doing that from your secure, well-appointed bunker.

Ping your suggestions this way using #ThePlaylistSuggestion, OR you can use the NEW submission form on the website. Or you can send the link to it to friends who aren't on Mastodon.

Promotional artwork for my radio show. It's designed to look like the now playing screen on a classic iPod, with the show info on the right side of the screen, and a photo of me on the left. It details that the show is broadcast on Mondays from 7pm until 9pm UK time.

This week on #ThePlaylist, the theme is brought to you by none other than @swisslet and Dr Caitlin, who want to hear YOUR suggestions about being:

Broke. Skint. Strapped. Brassic.

Two hours of tunes about poverty. What could be more cheerful in *this* economy?

This week's theme specific artwork, courtesy of @Troggie@beige.party. It's a banking app on a phone, showing an empty account, £0 on the overdraft, and a bunch of failed payments to #ThePlaylist for £1. The owner of that phone is no longer allowed to listen to the show. Povvo.

Happy #Caturday!

This is my feral friend Sampson. I'm currently trap training him so he can see a vet and get neutered.

This is why I'm always asking you to buy my music! It helps me help my feline friends!

White British brother with short red hair. With a t-shirt on that looks light blue. But is probably the blue from the Phever Studio lights that he's standing in. The word Phever is written over his right (are left) shoulder. Full Pioneer set up. Moniter to the right site his left A screen behind him that's off. LABR transparent over the graphic. And over all of that in white, the words Emmet O'C. Right under that, his show name. Brack Beats. Also in white but vertical, is the website https://labr.online

The CD is finished 💿

Jewel cases here, covers printed, discs pressed, now I'm sitting at home assembling every single copy by hand

Releasing K4KUS3I entirely on my own taught me a lot: the legal side, print files, all the stuff that come with pressing a CD. And everything was made in Germany by small companies. Discs from a small pressing plant in Göttingen, covers from a small print shop in Berlin.

Honestly proud of this one. And thank you all for the support, it's wild.

Pink Floyd in surround sound. Super Audio CD /SACD. High resolution format of the past and are still being made. These (and DVDA) are as awesome as vinyl records are for analog but are digital's peak. #pinkfloyd #sacd #dvdaudio #dvda #superaudiocd #SurroundSound #music

There’s a damn good reason that “Dark Side of the Moon” is a go-to album for christening new stereo equipment. I’ve been listening to it for decades, never gets old.

What’s the album you put on first to stress test a new stereo system?

Behold the glorious return of #ThePlaylist!

This week we have another guest theme, this time from @RealAleRocks and Ben Gray, who are colleagues who work in a:

Pharmacy

So two hours of songs about having to wait for an hour because the pharmacist has just gone on their lunch break, and only being able to buy two boxes of paracetamol, despite there being nothing to stop us also going to the Tesco Express next door to buy two more, should we so choose.

Very little sleep to be had last night, so the appearance of this tune at the top of the playlist was most welcome.

£3 a month to be an Eternal Aoife. What you get for that is the knowledge that you're exceptionally cool, AND you get to know that folk who can't afford to kick in a few quid also get to enjoy The World's Most Remarkable Radio Show for free. And everyone's happy.

Everyone except those who listen to #ThePlaylist, I suppose.

In the 1990s, there was a late-1960s/1970s revival, approximately 25-30 years after the fact.
It's now 25-30 years since that revival in the 90s.
Despite similar time spans, back in the 90s the 1970s felt so distant, remote, and even alien.
And yet, now, the mid-90s feel like they were about an hour ago.

Ooh, one of the $1 LPs I bought from the public library says you specifically need to play it with subwoofers, lol. And to make sure your fuses don't blow out. #subwoofer #music

Alt...

Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by JS Bach on organ

Alt...

Long paragraph recommending subwoofers for the record and proper fuses

A light, swinging number by Kahn and Simon, elements particularly highlighted in Annette Hanshaw's cheerful 1927 recording. Alternatively, you can find a very stripped back interpretation by blues guitarist Virgil Childers (which in some places is credited to Blind Boy Fuller. I don't know if Fuller also recorded it, but on YouTube there's at least one example of the exact same recording being presented under Fuller's name).

Nothing too tricky on the chords front, even if a few of them may not be common in modern beginner's arrangements.

#1920s #Ukulele #Music

Alt...

Ukulele songsheet for "Who's That Knocking At My Door" by Gus Kahn and Seymour Simons (1927). Lyrics, chord abbreviations and diagrams, unfortunately too much for alt-text.

A little a capella Cab, from Hi-De-Ho (1947).

(Also, Jeni Le Gon should have had more of an acting career. (She had a stellar career in tap.))
