A straightforward feelgood show, digging into the past, with a certain aroma of flowers and incense, and lots of three-minute or less tracks 🙂

Sunshine, Pop, and the Unknown
You know Sunshine Pop. You know the bits that crossed over into psychedelia. Well, some of them, anyway. And you probably have heard all the big hits somewhere and somewhen on the radio.
This weekend, we’ll play the bits you (most likely) didn’t hear.
See you in the Cavern,

160 km
Or, for the unmetric, 100 miles. Or Miles at 100. In other words, we will be celebrating the work of Miles Davis in the week of what would have been his 100th birthday!

176R Play That Funky Music
A show that did what it said on the tin – played that funky music from a wide variety of bands, some of them unexpected 🙂

Give Up the Funk!
Well, you don’t really have to. This week’s offering takes a look at, well, Funk. The thing that came out of the comingling of Psychedelic, Prog and Soul at the end of the 60s and pretty much dominated the 70s, during which decade it got usurped by Disco.
We are, however, not looking at the origins and beginnings of Funk, but rather at its consequences outside what one would call “the usual suspects,” with a roster of artists one would not, normally, associate with the style.

300 A History of Electronic Music. Part 1
The long anticipated electronic music show, finally realised for our 300th new show. Not a bad record.
22 listeners max, and we appreciate your interest.

Electronic Sounds
Before there even was a transistor, there already were electronic musical (and some less-than-musical) instruments, and attempts to otherwise make music or something similar using electronic processing. Looking back from the post-DX7 era, the early history of electronic instruments is quite fascinating and starts a few decades earlier than most would likely expect.
So, this week, for our 300th new show, we are going to have a look at the beginnings of electronic music.

175R … to look for America
A Remastered 4th July show, at a time when a reminder of some of the good in America was sorely needed. Not uncritical, but the songs mostly empahsised the good things to be found there.
Mother’s Day in the US, which may have affected our audience, as we made it up to just 12 listeners.

To Look for America
The Vikings didn’t do it. Nor did a certain Genovese merchantman. Or the Polynesians. Anyway, Columbus never set foot on the continent and to his death claimed that the Caribbean was India. Others have looked for it, though, which can be somewhat confusing because most of them were already there.
Anyway, that’s who we’ll be listening to this weekend. US citizens looking for, er, America, and finding it, variously, appealing, formerly appealing, unsatisfactory, unequal, inspiring hope, dread, etc., the whole lot.
