I have discovered
Duke Special
just bought the album and I will be taking him, the band/artiste, on holiday with me.
Also away for a week ...........
Fat Freddy's Drop
my favourite album at the moment and it is interesting to see them sell out two concerts in London this week.
I am into grooves at the moment and I just love, and have done for three months, a track called "Mulholland"
Search and buy it off the iTunes - won't tell you who it is by - might spoil it for you - fab groove - about 8 minutes long.
Reminds me that Alex from 'Jazzanova' - one of 'I am mad on' artistes, has a fab and long and fresh mix in the middle of Gilles Peterson Radio One show this week. Listened to it about 5 times already this week. It will be on 'listen again' until Sunday at 11pm - get the sparks flying.
Jazzanova - out of Berlin - do some great stuff and we have something new soon.
A star of the future
Eska ................ first album out soon. First saw her at the 'world wide winners' gig in December last year, wondrous voice
Also loving it, and a star of the future, is 'Stay With Me' a song with a vocalist with a voice that grips. Tiombe Lockhart is her name. Only ever heard her with 'The Platinum Pied Pipers' a band out of the states which I lurve. Hear their album 'Triple P'
It is hip hop with grooves. You may not like - I never recommend - but it swings my soul.
Also on my 1 gig iPod, for quick change music and lightness when commuting, is
Journey Prelude by Rivertribe a Australian band who I met at Greenbelt. I saw them live and the did a full on energetic dance set - and great blokes with, a sort of, 4 xxxx burned into their souls.
Other items on the said iPod
'Taking Friendship to a New Level' - a seminar featuring Pip Wilson BHP and the Level Fivers - a Greenbelt Mp3 which you can buy on line
The Battle For God another seminar by Karen Armstrong who is an expert in fundamentalism.
Ray Ray', what a groove, by Fat Freddy's Drop - album is 'Based On A True Story'.
And these radio programmes on the multi mentioned iPod hmmmmm :-
BBC BenJi B 1Xtra Midnight Thursdays - maybe my favourite listening at the moment.
BBC STOCKI Radio Ulster 7 pm Sundays. This man, Steve Stockman, is like a stick of rock with the word 'Greenbelt' running all the way through him - and many other beautiful words too!
BBC R1 11pm Sundays - Gilles Peterson - see my rant about him on my home page.
And another bbc gilles programme - mentioned above, with the Alex Jazzanova Mix.
BBC PETE TONG - THREE HOURS OF HOUSE MUSIC TO PUMP ME UP and drown the noise of the London Underground.
BBC DNA - Destination Africa, sounds from all over the world with an African influence.
All this because I woke at 5 am again - whats this all about ..............?
