A fine Friday morning tune (even though the weather isn’t)

It’s supposedly going to be a sunny weekend so we may be going out in the garden and even sticking those indoor sowed vegetable plants out to harden them off so they get used to the weather they’ll be eventually facing outside. Take them out when it starts to warm up in the morning and bring them in when it starts getting cold.

To cheer us up we’re listening to a wonderful tune called Promised Land from The Nairobi Sisters (Terrie Nairobi and Judy Mowatt). It’s a different slice of reggae and it’s the version which is the tune (the one on the Gayfeet pressing is in our opinion a slighty better mix to the Flames release as there’s more of the killer hand drums). We only found out recently the tunes has been sampled by a few people including A Tribe Called Quest for “Whateva Will Be”. A tune for a Friday!

The Flames release is now available again thanks to the excellent Death Is Not The End bandcamp that has a wealth of great stuff to search through.

Yesterday once more

Here’s the studio audio from last night’s KTAB, the latest in the Imaginary Radio Stations series transmitted to the world via the valves and wires of WRMI.

At 24 minutes into the recording is One Deck Pete’s “I’ve got those broadcast blues”. Here’s the full track listing of the 15 minute mix complete with the Bandcamp sites the tracks were obtained from. Do check them out as there were a lot of interesting stuff on the labels, Death is not the end feature tons of tunes from Jamaican Doo Wop to Pirate Radio Adverts from the Acid House days and as for Canary Records, there’s a truck load to explore there!
