Me sick, so in bed listening to the radio. My favourite radio station is KEXP in Seattle. No news, no weather, just a roster of DJâs with a sprinkling of live sets. Itâs on the ânet of course (iTunes, everything else) although I listen on my Boom.
What I particularly like is that the Boom lists the song and artist playing on KEXP so I can check out any bands that sound interesting.
The Great Unwashed (AKA The Clean) lauded Duane Eddy, king of the twangy guitar. Here is a twangy mix. havenât finished adding links etc., soon.
1) The Staunton Lick (Lemon Jelly) 2) Strange Dream (WITCH) Second outing on a Nugget for this Zambian psychedelic band from the 70âs. 3) Destroy Everything (White Fence) More trippyness 4) My Head Explodes (Ty Segall) Off a single shared with Jeff The Brotherhood. 5) Crazy Rulers of the World (Surf City) 6) Harsh Realm (Widowspeak) Hope Sandoval sound a like from Brooklyn 7) Melanie Down (Cinema Red And Blue) Hamish Kilgour et al. 8) Funeral Baby (The Limiñanas) Was going to include the Bats so I covered off all the members of the Clean, but why listen to Rob Scott when you can have the French version? 9) Before Itâs Gone (Male Bonding) Shop assistants break out. 10) Ome Is Where The Art Is (Moondad) AKA The loudest band in Leicester. Get the rest of their songs for free. 11) Caseman (Die! Die! Die!) On tour, appear to be on their way to Turkey.
