This Sunday the imaginary radio stations crew have a right treat for you. KTAB will be featuring “Yesterday’s music today” on 9395 kHz at 2200 utc on Sunday 31st July 2022 via the magic of the wireless.
The show will feature all sorts of old time music from the year dot to the late 1950’s including a mix called “I’ve got those broadcasting blues” from One Deck Pete at 24 minutes in featuring this classic from Keith & Enid called “Worried over you”. Tune into the shortwave time machine.
Thanks to everyone who’ve been sending us their accordion classics since last week’s transmission of WELK.
Thanks to John F. who alerted us to Kimmo Pohjonen. We had no idea that this sort of madness existed, talk about taking the accordion to the next level! We love Kimmo’s get up but don’t think the local allotment committee would allow this sort of gear to be worn on-site especially in this forthcoming heatwave. A great tune by the way.
And he reminded us about this great tune by Les Negresses Vertes a band we here have seen a few years ago but had well forgotten about.
And also Slim of the Urban Voodoo Machine, Slim Cyder Co etc. Here’s the great man in action with Joe Ely from a few years ago.
He also mentioned the Grace Jones tune “I’ve seen that face before” a reworking of Astor Piazzolla‘s “Libertango”.
Steve Barker had also said about the maestro Astor Piazzola amongst lots of others (Clifton Chenier, Rocking Sidney, Boozoo Chavis and Amédé Ardoin and many more) which we’ll look into soon. He also mentioned Flaco JImenez and this tune with Ry Cooder.
And last and not least Mark Paytress who sent us this classic and called it “perhaps my fave squeezebox tune of all time” and he may be right! The Three Suns “Delicado”.
Keep on squeezing as they say and thanks to everyone who have got in touch with their recommendations.
Big shout to all the bus and train spotters out there! This Sunday grab yourself a shortwave platform ticket and hop on aboard CTRN via WRMI at 2200 utc on 9395 kHz for some locomotive classics.
Below is an old CTRN from last year with all sort of railway tunes including a mix from One Deck Pete at 40 minutes in called “Off the rails”.
Here’s the track listings:
Instantly Distant: Samples, Foley and Field Recordings – Bank Negara Station
The Lamplighters – London Station
Commodore 98 – Mind the gap (interlude)
Dennis Brown – Westbound Train/Version
Dub Syndicate – Night Train
Now here’s a nice track for a “Will it rain or will the sun come out again?” Friday afternoon. It’s from Danijel Zambo out of Augsburg, Germany and called Concertina. It’s a chilled affair which will feature on the show WELK on WRMI very soon. Have a good weekend and may that weather be with you
Tune into X-Raydio tonight on WRMI at 2200 utc (2300 U.K. time) on 9395 kHz for a bit of an ultrasonic treat.
In a few hours tonight at 2300 UK time is the third transmission of KBIN on 9395 kHz via WRMI featuring amongst other interesting stuff a couple of mixes from our very own One Deck Pete.
The first “All up in the air” for KSOL at 10.30 mins in features Joe Meek, ARK, Rubin Steiner and AVEM. And for KDUB at 44.58 minutes in “A mix for KDUB for KBIN” featuring all sorts of dub goodness including the tune by Wayne Wade below. Tune in!
On Sunday 10th April 2022 at 11pm UK time (10pm UTC) on WRMI on 9395 kHz is the first of a set of transmissions called KBIN if you want to hear something a bit different this weekend. Expect several mixes including some for KMRT and WGTR (Golden Throats Radio). If you haven’t a shortwave radio use an online software defined radio like this one here and tune into 9395 kHz on the dial. There’s even 50% off for the first 50 listeners so get in early!
Have a look here for some previous programmes from the imaginary stations crew, and if you like a bit of dub…
