Image22Garden of the week: Doctor Strangedub’s plot in Minnesota.
Well, going into the second week of October and Dr. Strangedub still hasn’t taken his garden down. Most years we have had a killer frost by now here in Minnesota. Looks like it will be pretty cool tonight (around 45 F/7 C), but still safe for a bit. In the photos are: some green tomatoes still on the vine; some weeds up to my knees; and some very healthy basil plants. Looks like it’s time to make some Italian pesto with me basil….but the tomatoes must ripen in a box before I can make some salsa.

Doctor Strangedub and DJ Baby Swiss present the excellent radio show “The Echo Chamber” on KFAI weekly.

Spring, why haven’t you sprung yet?

Dub Chairman in the placeDub Chairman – Soldier (Citadel Records) 2004
Big up to Terry C for playing this on last week’s Echo Beach, a lovely tune from yesteryear reminding me of the best bits of the Thievery Corporation put through the blender with the sound of an ice cream van. Come on Spring where are you, mate? Click here to listen to the tune while pondering when it’s going to get warmer.

share the flameJazzmin Tutum – Share the flame – Universal Egg
A big shout to the dub poetess Jazzmin Tutum on her excellent new release on Zion Train’s Universal Egg Records called “Share the flame“. A great mix of bass heavy collaborations with Neil Perch (who also produces the tracks), Brain Damage, Hey o Hansen, Ralf Freudenberger and yours truly (Madtone). Respect to Jazzmin for working with “Calling live on channel” and “Message from Madtone”! A big thanks goes out to our good friend Dr Strangedub from KFAI’s excellent Echo Chamber for linking us up!

Gardening related tune of the week

Heard on this weeks Echo Chamber, a lovely middle eastern inspired slow-mo bass heavy track with squelchy acid overtones and available as a free download too! A track to listen to while out in the back garden on a warm summers evening sipping on some char of the Moroccan variety.

It’s a shame it’s February and zero degrees outside, roll on the summer!

Felipe Lopez – Radio Space (Ape.Choons)
Here’s a great track heard on Dr Strangedub and DJ Baby Swiss’ excellent “Echo Chamber” on KFAI a few of weeks ago. The tune is a lovely piece of dub which samples a Brazilian radio amateur communicating with the International Space Station (ISS). The les dubthiers mix (the second clip) just pips the original to the post. Get this tune, you’ll love it! Big shout to Dr Strangedub for this one.
