I don't get this. Is it June or July?

[spzretent]

hopefully July. June has been over for a week.

blimey! thats 8 hours of music. One almightly shopping list. I can hear the sound of the bank on the phone, your overdrawn again mr Keeping...there seems to be alot of internet orders from music shops on your account...

[simonkeeping]

does anyone actually know when its going to online to listen to in the Uk? and did anyone hear it?

[sunny]

Turns out it started 3am, but it's re-run again today at an earlier hour (check website). So it's a 5 hour difference.

I enjoyed it and now I wish I'd written down the titles. A lot of it was familiar, but I was sleepy towards the end I woke up on the floor in front of my speakers this morning, so I must have nodded off. Did anyone tape this?

[simonkeeping]

cheers Sunny,thanks for the info!

thats quite funny about you falling asleep on the floor. have you got a sore neck today?

[sunny]

My neck is intact... the floor seems to suit me, it has become quite a frequent scenario. Perhaps it's due to ending a long relationship (15 years) a while back- I don't have to get to bed. I can do whatever I feel like. I even tried the stairs once (not so comfortable).

[simonkeeping]

Glad to hear youre not suffering! Its a fine skill sleeping in unusual places. I can sleep anywhere, toilets, trains, standing up. I am mocked on regular occasions for it.

I really hope someone taped it! due to my complete lack of technical knowhow Ive only just got the web radio page working on my computer. Its really good quality too!

[sunny]

I'm not as lucky as you. I can't sleep anywhere, but floors are good.

It's on again 7pm (UK)... but I can't record it either unfortunately.

[sunny]

OK, so here's the playlist;

The Fleshtones- Rocket U.S.A
Dr John-Gris-gris
Gene Vincent-Maybelene
Beach Boys-Surfer Girl

Sigur Ros-Gobbledigook
James Luther Dickinson- O How She Dances
Walter Meego-Forever

[supershonn]

thanks for the list. well done.


as for sleeping, i can't sleep anywhere. i have chronic insomnia. it's miserable. sleep is for the blessed.

[simonkeeping]

Sunny you are a legend! thanks very much for the set list.

I heard the first few tracks then had to go out to a mates birthday drinks. What i heard was really good!
Right Im off to sleep on the top rung of a ladder.

shonn, try the booze. it sends me off like a light

[dselevan2]

Speaking about all this sleep brings up a question that I have. If any of you can send me a bottle of Ambien that would be great. I'll stay up and record whatever u want.

[ro]

Henry Flynt- Violin Strobe

oh, good...
I only have one record of his and have been looking for suggestions on what to try for another.


thanks for the setlist, Sunny!
I can't even figure out their website so this is very helpful.

[sunny]

Ro- I was thinking the same about Henry Flynt. That track woke me from my slumber and made me sit up and go 'What's this?!!"

[angelsighs]

Did J speak between tracks, a la Dylans Theme Time, or was it just a bunch of songs he chose?

Also-

Sigur Ros- Gobbledigook

J likes Sigur Ros? Im kinda glad but surprised. Or is that song just on the stations normal playlist at the mo...

[BzaInSpace]

James Luther Dickinson- O How She Dances

I can never get enough of that one!

Cheers Sunny

[simonkeeping]

no chat im afraid. he got an announcer to do it for him. theres a few tracks in there Im surprised to see. Death Cab for cutie inparticular.

[warmgun.]

Yeah, I too was a little surprised by some of the songs as I don't normally envision Jason listening to much current stuff, let alone more mainstream fare like D.C.F.C., Mates Of State, Sigur Ros, Beck, etc.

Could it be that the station threw in some current playlist stuff to appease less adventurous listeners?

Speaking of Beck, his new album is a nice return to form after the last couple, which I felt we kind of disappointing... I much prefer him when he's doing his spacey-folkie stuff a la Sea Change and Mutations.

was thinking the same thing! Good news about Beck. thought the scientology had finished him.

[sunny]

Maybe we can ask Mr Spazed99 if the current songs were his choice or the stations? Everyone seems to be asking the same thing-we want information please, haha!

[dselevan2]

I doubt Spaceman was even there. I'm a big doubter after this, "we're pressing more copies of the limited 500 copy thing."

If Spaceman were there, why wouldn't he talk?

[jack white]

what a grumpy bastard!

even when j is there he doesn't talk!
from simonks post i'm assuming he wasn't even there (and am not surprised). had assumed the death cab thing (and others) were the stations own playlist.

[simonkeeping]

even when j is there he doesn't talk!

totally! do you want to introduce the band? no. thats not his style. he likes to just get in there, get the business done and get out. I would have thought it was something set up when he was over for Coachella? even if he wasnt there, Its still his musical choices (barring a few exceptions). think of the Breezeblock sessions. now we've got another 3 weeks of 2 hour slots! brilliant

[simonkeeping]

what I caught of last nights show

low - lord can you hear me
Neil Young - tired eyes
the Beta Band - Its Over
palace brothers - you will miss me when I burn
mitch ryder and the detroit wheels - devil with the blue dress on
king Khan and the shrines - burnin' inside
fred Williams and the Jewel Band - Tell Her
Buddy Holly - I fought the Law

king Khan and the shrines is pure genius. check em out on myspace. VERY Dirtbombs, but with added James Brown-ness

[ononist]

King Khan and His Shrines rule.

[sunny]

king Khan and the shrines is pure genius. check em out on myspace. VERY Dirtbombs, but with added James Brown-ness

Thanks for posting that! I want to hear it now... Didn't King Khan do a split record with the Dirtbombs? I think I have it even...

[jesus son]

Spiritualized - Soul On Fire
Otis Redding - Just One Day
Jamie Lidell - Another Day
Adele – Right As Rain
(then as Simon listed above)
Low - lord can you hear me
Neil Young - tired eyes

king Khan and the shrines - burnin' inside
fred Williams and the Jewel Band - Tell Her
The Raconteurs - Top Yourself
The Crickets - I fought the Law
Ray Charles - I Believe To My Soul

[spazed99]

Jason supplied the station with either a complete 2 hour programme or a playlist. It was all compiled in London but was very time consuming. After the station threw in a few commercial curve balls it was decided not to complete the month so I believe they are re-running the first couple of shows. Hopefully they will resist the urge to 'spice' it up with Coldplay, Snow Patrol or the Kaiser Chiefs, for instance, but not limited to such luminaries....

Thanks for letting us know... the music biz... always the same old crap. But I'm glad we got something at least!

[simonkeeping]

Thats a real shame. The station must be kicking themselves. Totally justified move form Jason. You dont invite someone to DJ then add stuff in off your own back just so it fits in with the stations normal playlist! Especially when your trying to palm it off as stuff he's chosen. What where they expecting?

[nickh]

Ah well,

At least I got turned onto Henry Flynt.

[dselevan2]

Hello folks,
I had pretty much lost all interest in Spiritualized(complete sell out play list) and the fans that kept sticking up for him. I haven't logged into this board forever.

This was the right move by Spaceman. Something that always made him cool to me was that he turned me onto obscure psychedelic music, even punk stuff like Suicide. I'd hate to think that someone would actually enjoy Death Cab for Cutie because Spaceman played it on the radio. Glad he made the right choice and chose integrity over money.

Have a nice one,

Dave

[feetsies]

I wish there was a violin icon. Stop crying already.

[noOne]

I'd hate to think that someone would actually enjoy Death Cab for Cutie because Spaceman played it on the radio.

i could care less what Jason is listening to.
i was probably one of the first people on this
board to admit that i like Death Cab For Cutie.

but hey, im not some music purist or psychedelic
music snob.... though my record collection might
suggest otherwise.

cheers!

Was just thinking, to save all his hard work from going to waste, any chance of the lists being posted up here? Im sure i'm not alone in wanting to see them!

Thanks very much for that. Does anyone know on which cd`s i can find Arvo Part – The Hanging Man and Arvo Part – III ?

[jesus son]

Thanks very much for that. Does anyone know on which cd`s i can find Arvo Part – The Hanging Man and Arvo Part – III ?

Good question - been looking myself

http://www.sauchen.fsnet.co.uk/disco_label.htm has a comprehensive discography but unfortunately no mention of The Hanging Man as far as I can see

[bcastle21]

any chance anyone has recorded these shows? or are they archived? or can anyone point me in the direction of some of these tracks?

[simonkeeping]

BIS CD434 Arvo Pärt: Early Orchestral Works [1989]
Bamberg Symphony/Neeme Järvi/Frans Helmerson
Perpetuum Mobile, op.10
Pro et Contra, cello concerto
Symphony no.1 (Polyphonic)
Symphony no.2

Symphony no.3


could be this?

[jesus son]

The only CD I can find so far that contains The Hanging Man is on a soundtrack for a film called Mother Night from 96.
