You’re listening to KDUB, KAY DUB

This Sunday 7th March 2021 (and repeated a week later) at 12 noon UTC/UK sees a transmission by KDUB on 9670 kHz in 31 Metre band on shortwave. There’s a whole hour of some great drum and bass heavy music including a mix by One Deck Pete called “In Dub for KDUB”. If you haven’t a shortwave radio to hand click here at 12 noon this Sunday. Also check the KMTS mixcloud site here after transmission for a recording of the whole show.

And here’s a tune that isn’t on KDUB but it is a classic and a tune with the great Mark Perry on vocals, Alternative TV with Life After Life from that grand old year of 1977.

And while we there, here’s a cover by Mark Perry of The Whole World’s Down On Me by Ken Boothe and B.B. Seaton another tune we love by Mark P!

Brand new secondhand

The other day while sorting through a box of old magazines and yellowing punk fanzines we came across a piece we wrote for the good folks at Mojo Collections* (Big shout to Mark Paytress!) many moons ago. Reliving the memories of some of the best second hand record vendors from the past really made us smile. We are presently writing a piece about all the crazy things we’ve experienced while downloading MP3’s, so do look out for that as it’s looking quite lively at the moment! Below are the fine tunes that are featured in the Article.

Have you memories of a second-hand record emporium that smelt of rising damp, a sheepskin-coat wearing market stall vendor whose records had no prices on them or a favourite mail order outlet that sent you anything other than the record you wanted? A story of a great tune found between piles of such classics as Singalongamax and I missed again at your local charity shop? You once paid an arm and a leg for the Contempo – Black Jade dub LP from the Record and Tape exchange only to find Status Quo’s You’re In The Army Now 12″ when you got it out of its cardboard sleeve on the bus home. Well we would love to hear from you!
