Scary clowns, oooooo. This mix got me from Hamilton back to Auckland…
Beat Happening live – yeah! Royal Headache sound so like Ray Columbus. They are from Sydney and they are touring the US at present.
Will post mix once Grooveshark settled down. Some All tunes up now.
As promised, a second lofi fix. It may just be because I have yet to thrash this one (146b) as much as 146a – but to my ears it’s the better mix.
Again, not a Festive 50, but I pulled out some old tapes I have of Peel for a listen. Sad / curious to relate that the tunes in this mix would not have sounded out of place in his show from 1980. I console myself with the thought that good music endures, and that the current lofi fad reminds us how good that music is / was. Alternatively my efforts to broaden my musical horizons have been a complete failure…
Track 22 is from the Festive Fifty for 1980 by John Peel – no time for the song by the Helicopters that Peel introduced – on the CD at least – but you can listen to the unedited track below…
