After some stress in the garden this morning it’s nice to put your feet up and listen to some good tunes. Here’s an excellent one from The Itals with Brutal. Thanks to Your Host from the great shortwave music show on WRMI This Is a Music Show for playing the dub Brutality from The Revolutionaries on show 134. Thanks to Dazman for posting up the recording below. If you love good music you’ll love This is a Music Show! More on the show here.
If you love trains tune into CTRN on Sunday 19th September 2021 (repeated on the 26th September) at 2300 UTC/midnight UK time on 9395 kHz in the 31 Metre band via WRMI. Expect rail related tunes, station announcements and a whole lot more.
It also features a mix from One Deck Pete called “Off the rails” featuring tracks by Instantly Distant: Samples, Foley and Field Recordings, The Lamplighters, Commodore 98, Dennis Brown and Dub Syndicate.
So put on your best station master’s uniform, shine your whistle and tune in on Sunday evening. If you’ve no shortwave radio try this online shortwave defined radio here at no later than 30 seconds before the train is meant to leave as the doors will be closed for passenger safety. Tickets please!
When the weather’s not like it’s supposed to be (like this summer in SE23) or when the (wood) chips are down, the above clip never fails to disappoint.
We do hope Bernard Byron (who CAN speak Venusian) would enjoy our mix below which was originally broadcast (light years ago) on Radio Lavalamp via the shortwaves. Bernard, never mind what the others think about your theories, we believe you!
Big thanks to our good friend across the pond Justin Patrick Moore for sending us this picture of a volunteer (plants that self seed) zuchinni (aka courgette) that has come up on the compost heap. They thrive in rich soil so a compost heap is ideal. To say the plant is going mad is an understatement!
We only got one plant that we got from a new seed supplier we found out about this year and it’s really suprised us as it’s so large. We only sowed two, one got eaten by slugs and snails and this one has gone barmy, taking over the garden path. Only a couple of fruits so far and one of them was one of those forgotten ones which grew to a fair old size!
Looking at Justin’s site here we were reminded of this tune below and a great episode of Wireless Nights (Megahertz) from a while ago available to download here. An interesting listen if you like all that shortwave radio business! Cheers Justin!
