Latest old greats on WFMU

New music, in no particular order of favouritism.



Sciflyer - Lush sounds teleported straight outta the nineties in some UFO accident. Listen to "Never Come Down" on the Andrew Lisfield Playlist (the preceeding tracks are ambiently nice) here.

Antibalas - Che Che Cola (Makossa) - Could be my new sound for the summer, maybe needs a techno remix before that happens. The Makossa remix heavy backbeat version certainly helps..... Listen to it here, from Hatch's playlist. I have to recommend listening to the whole playlist as well, apart from the 20 minute jazzy bit in the middle.

Lee Scratch Perry - Judgement in A Babylon - from the Brian Turner playlist here, this is a stinging attack on Chris Blackwell, which is also very funny and groovy. Listen to it here

Mogwai - Hunted by a Freak - from the Push Bin with Lou playlist - which was taken from the Peel Sessions. Listen here

The Ken playlist from 28 March 2001 - some good music on display here - from Little Axe's Ride On, which I remember from some years ago when my DJ friend got a promo and we played it to death, to Lee Scratch Perry and the Os Mutantes. Also my favourite Moby track Run On is here too!

Pseu's Thing With a Hook playlist from 24 June 2005. Starting with the Ramones, then the Jesus and Mary Chain ( a personal favourite of mine), then the Ravenonettes, David Bowie, it also introduced me to Joy Zipper's best song (in my humble opinion) a lot later on in the playlist. Unfortunately there is no accuplaylist, and I can't quite remember how long into the playlist that the song starts.... Before that incidentally is the Teenage Fanclub - a band I had the pleasure of seeing live in my home town.

My Bloody Valentine - To Here Knows When/Swallow - from the Karaoke Alarm Clock playlist, I hadn't heard the second MBV track before, and was immediately hypnotised. Listen here.

My Bloody Valentine - What you Want. Well caught up in a bit of MBV nostalgia, been listening to Joy Zipper as a susbstitute..... From the Push Bin with Lou, listen to it here.

Joy Zipper - previously mentioned above, listen to The Christmas Song here, from the Evan Funk Davies show

Serge Gainsbourg - Cargo Culte - from the playlist for Scott Williams there is no accuplaylist, so click on realplayer and scroll along to 1 hour and 58 minutes to listen. One of my favourite finds of the last 6 months, it immediately became apparent where I'd heard the bassline before! and when that choir sound kicks in....!

Shelagh McDonald - Liz's Song - from the Hatch Sept 3 2005 playlist. Found via the WFMU beware of the Blog web ... well.... eh... blog. Listen here

Vashti Bunyan - Diamond Day - Listen here. From the Acapulco Dance Party playlist, also found via the WFMU Beware of the Blog site. Yeah I love it.

Loads more Vashti Bunyan on the This is the Modern World with Trouble playlist here, plus an interview with said person. It's all good.
