Magic Light show, Kadish Tolesa, Spring 2017

Yoda put on another light show for us in Magic Tolesa and we followed up with a dance party, as is traditional 🙂  The Kadish bay was a great place for the light show, with lots of space for the audience to spread out along and a big flat area to perform on.  The dance afterwards made use of one of the best dance floors in MOUL, the interior of the pyramid puzzle building.

The light show was accompanied by music from Malcolm Cecil, Robert Margouleff and the TONTO synthesiser, one of those unique electronic instruments that in fact turns up all over the place, but only credited in the small print, if at all.

A second set of Covered Up songs, where we find the original versions of songs and then play one or two covers that are interesting and different from the original.  A bit nerd-ey perhaps, but fascinating if you are into that sort of thing.

Saint Patrick’s Day 2017

Radio Free D’ni provided some of the music for the St. Patrick’s Day parade and post-parade bop, and here is the playlist :).

The preshow was, as usual, designed to let people find the broadcast channel and get tuned in to the music.  Unfortunately, I had not created the playlists, and doing so took up so much processing power that the channel dropped out for most people.  However, I promised not to do that again, and the listeners returned…  at one point, 43 folks were listening, more than were in the cavern, and we still had 27 on line when I handed over to Joker at 15 KI.

International Women’s Day 2017

For IWD 2017 Radio Free D’ni presented a four-hour show of music by female artists, presented by Root Beer with AlanDJ, Malaclypse and Edison Rex.  Hummingbird was with us on the plaza, and delivered some reminders of what the day was about, and biographical details of significant women, some famous and others not so.  In addition, Ghaelen D’Lareh (who could not be with us due to other commitments) contributed a spoken piece about Mary Woolstonecroft and Mary Shelley.

We had over 35 listeners for the majority of the show, with a peak of 43 – Do join us again 🙂

62 No Fillers 1

For this, we chose albums that we consider to have no weak tracks at all, that is, no fillers, no tracks just to pad out the album to its full length. Naturally enough this is a little bit subjective, so if we haven’t included your favourite, I apologise, but will note that we have several albums left over in our list, enough for more shows on this theme, if you like it. And do please send us your own suggestions for this category.  Tracks were chosen as far as possible to be the less-well known and played ones from each album

The Preshow was made up from the F section of my stash, with Flanders and Swann interjecting some humour between Fairport Convention and Fleetwood Mac.

The Postshow consisted of tracks that didn’t quite make the cut for the main show, given that we restricted ourselves to two tracks from each album.  This was one way to fit those extra tracks in.

61 One-Hit Wonders

As a result of a request from the audience, we produced a set of One-Hit Wonders, always a risky category as you can end up mired in novelty songs, which are generally uninspiring out of their context.  However, not only did we manage to assemble a good set of tracks, we had a large audience as well, with up to fifteen in the cavern and a top number of 33 listeners – the first time I can recall where we had more listeners outside the cavern than on the plaza.  We also had a new recruit to the team, Root Beer, who shared announcements with us.

The preshow was all Mal’s doing, and a right good mixture it was too

That’s The Way That It Is Uriah Heep The Best Of…Part 2 1998
Would the Christians Wait Five Minutes? The Lions Are Having a Draw Man Man 1970

The show itself had more tracks than usual, as one-hit wonders are generally of the 3-minute single format, so we ended up with 30 tracks.  Actually we ran over time a bit, but nobody complained, not even the neighbours.

60 Playing The Game

Radio Free D’ni’s 60th show coincided with the 7th anniversary of MOULa’s revival, and in honour of that we had a selection inspired by playing the game – adventure games mostly, and the various Uru incarnations especially.

The preshow was selections from the end of the ‘D’ section and the start of ‘E’ from my CD stash.  The Nightfly is on later than we are and has to deal with much wierder callers.

The postshow had some of the tracks that almost made it into the show.  Rush’s Farewell to Kings is obvious, Places to Go is what we all have, the Cannonball is found in Teledahn (in the gun) and could also be the imitation stone of Sisyphus in the Path of the Shell.  Several places could be a Temple of the Winds.  Running on Three is what it feels like when you can’t quite solve a puzzle and Available Light is needed in Kadish Tolesa, in the moon room and the pyramid.

58 A Bad Year for Good Music, part 1

Yes, 2016 was notably bad for the passing of many fine musicians who have enthralled and entertained us as we grew.  So many, in fact, that it will take several shows to mention even a few of them.

In this show we concentrated on just five: Bernie Worrell (P-Funk and Talking Heads amongst many others), Keith Gemmell (Audience and Stackridge, amongst others). Leon Russel (too many to mention), Greg Lake (ELP mostly) and Rick Parfitt (Status Quo).

Preshow was put together by Ed from earlier shows – I didn’t have time to do it myself, for reasons that are clear to those who listened to the show.
