Been doing pretty much one of these a week for almost a year now. I guess I'll call it quits at 50. 8 more to go...
Get Funked! (feat fake Blaxploitation Trailer intro)"Informative show on Funk and Blaxploitation that features some of the nastiest, rawest cuts ever pressed on sexy black wax! Get down wit' yo' bad self!"
Psychedelic Pop (with the Psychedelic Shopping Network) "Turn the world technicolor for 60 minutes with this show devoted to the weird and whimsical world of '60s psyche-pop music."
The Blues"If you ever felt like life's chewed you up and spat you out, well the blues are for you. The blues aren't just about one man moaning over his sparse guitar picking. They also embrace folk, gospel, jazz and various other styles, and they can be just as much about celebration as disconsolation, which this show amply demonstrates."
Synth City"Very zany show on the wonderfully catchy genre of Synth-Pop which emerged in the early '80s when synthesizers started to replace guitars as pop music's optimum instrument. Featuring dozens of lost quirky pop bands that probably had number one hits in an alternate dimension but were unfairly ignored in this one. Enjoy!"
Doo Wop & Girl Groups"Two essential stages in the development of pop music. The men of doo-wop may have laid the groundwork but the teen popettes of the wave of girl groups who followed in their wake really made pop melodrama a fine art (even if most of those songs were written by balding, middle-aged men). Featuring dozens of obscurities all abrim with that breezy '60s feelin'."
Surf's Up!"Take a trip to the beach with this 60-minute radio show on the riff-tastic genre of Surf Rock. If you wish to get the most out of this radio show, please wear shorts whilst listening!"
It's a Kid's World"A collection of charming and relaxing folk songs, funny skits and pastoral instrumentals for your children or the child within!"
African Music"Exciting new surveys have proven that the best cure for depression is listening to the sublime music produced in Africa over the years. This hour-long show covers some of the gloriously danceable national products of countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Mali, Tobo and many more. Dig it!"
Noise Rock"Rock music has always straddled the line between order and chaos. This 60-minute show on Noise Rock covers some of those bands that skewed more towards the chaotic side of things, whilst still somehow managing to remain fairly melodic."
Prog On!"Progressive Rock sometimes gets a bad rap. People remember the triple-layered keyboards, the 30-piece drum-kits and the extreme noodling but often forget just how catchy and...yes, progressive it could be when at its best. Hopefully this show will jog your memory. Prog on!"
Mutant Disco"A 60-minute show highlighting disco's tastier, stranger side. The Disco revival starts here!"
Ragas To Riches"So you've heard Within You Without You by The Beatles, but have you ever tried to listen to the Hindustani Classical Music which inspired it? Well, now you can. Some of the musicians featured in this 60-minute show would spend their every waking hour for years on end trying to master their instruments. And as this show demonstrates, all their hard work and extreme concentration more than paid off. Enjoy- and don't let your exposure to Indian Classical Music and Ragas end here!"
Space Rock"Prepare to embark on a mind-melting voyage into the outer reaches of the galaxy with this hour-long show on the extreme psychedelic sub-genre known as Space Rock. Bon voyage!"
Jingle Jangle Mornings"An hour's worth of invigorating Jangle Pop music from Indie's early days, with a couple of sweet '60s tunes thrown in for good measure. Loaded with informative commentary on everything played. Enjoy!"
The Experimental Institution"A one hour musical trip inside a mental patient's brain. Only recommended for the very sound of mind, for it is very probable that you will find yourself becoming completely mentally unhinged before the hour's over thanks to the wild and unpredictable music contained within. Are you feeling lucky...?"
Musica Italiana"Charting Italy's always over the top and always enjoyable music scene. Expect to hear some gorgeous psychedelic folk, some crazy operatic prog, a lot of catchy post-punk and several excellent pieces from scores by masters like Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota. Grazie!"
Industrial"A bleak and unremitting exploration of the Industrial music scene that emerged in the early '80s, when hundreds of headstrong anarchists broke all the rules and helped change music for good in the process. Though the music contained within may be challenging, it's also incredibly ahead of its time and well worth delving into by all you adventurous experimentalists out there..."
Abstract Hip-Hop"An antidote to those harbouring the delusion that all Hip-Hop is obsessed with gold medallions and cookie-cutter beats. This explores Hip-Hop's weirder side, where the rules get thrown out of the window and almost anything goes."
Modern Classical"If the word "classical" makes you think of something old and musty, this show should change your mind. Modern Classical encompasses everything from early electronic experiments, film scores, angelic/hellish choirs, gorgeous '70s progressive works and everything else in between. Enjoy the show!"
