It(’s not) just the same old show, on my radio

Posted on July 19, 2020 by onedeckpete

We’re listening to some mix-up business on Venture FM at the moment with PD Coolie. We’ve already had Terry Jacks’ “Season’s in the Sun” (a formative record with one Andrew Weatherall god rest his soul), The Archie’s “Sugar Sugar” covered by Big Youth & Junior Byles above, The Jamaicans with Baba Boom and earlier Fats Domino with Blueberry Hill that put us in mind of this version from the great Jah Wobble. Radio, as a medium you just can’t beat it!

And a song for a Monday

Here’s a perfect tune for a Monday night, a day where the sun came out and then we had a bit of rain. It’s from Tabitha Project and it’s called Aguamar released on the Berry Parfait label. It’s a tune and if all goes well it’ll appear next month on Radio Lavalamp.

There is no future

Lockdown is affecting us in more ways then one.Take a look at the radio for instance, the BBC has taken off the great Radio Leeds Sunday Gardening Show with Tim Crowther and we’ve just heard today they’ve done the same with Steve Barker, Fenny and Jim’s On The Wire on BBC Radio Lancashire (so that’s no Funkology with Pete and Andy either) that ain’t right!

As Jethro Binks wrote on Facebook/Twitter: “If you feel moved to voice your opinion then I know the BBC is always open to feedback, best write to the station manager at BBC Radio Lancashire john.clayton@bbc.co.uk and copy to the Head of BBC Local Radio chris.burns@bbc.co.uk”

Protest and (let decent radio shows) survive or the future may be Dire Straits remixes. Send an email to the BBC or you know what your future may hold! #saveonthwire #saveonthewireagain #stevebarker #funkology

It’s sweltering and it’s not even 12 noon yet! We’ve got KFAI on and tuned into the Echo Chamber and listening to the last few tunes of the programme played by DJ Baby Swiss AKA CAPNCOZY (who co-hosts with the one and only Dr Strangedub) and this one by Kliment & Tuatara called Super Moon was just played. Perfect for weather like this!

And through the magic of amplitude modulation…

Here’s a recording off an online SDR of today’s One Deck Pete’s “Tunes to cheer you up” which was transmitted on Free Radio Skybird via Channel 292. This is the fifth episode in the series and this week it’s an exclusive of an early mix of a new tune from Jazz’min & Madtone with “Return to the branches”. Apologies for the non Hi-Fi quality but that’s what you get with that wireless thingy.
