Gardens in the snow – Number one in a series

Cheers to our good friend The Rhythm Doctor for sending us pictures of his garden in Tallinn, Estonia presently covered with snow and don’t it look great! The pic above is Hortensia (aka Hydrangea) which looks like an upside down chandelier.

The above are three apple trees in a row and a cherry tree to the left of them and the great shot below is a smart looking BBQ oven (with a hat on) standing guard outside the woodshed.

And finally below some blackcurrant and redcurrant bushes. We love these photos!

And Chris picked this apt tune from the great John Holt called “Winter World of Love”, the original performed by some chap called Engelbert Humperdink (the song was written by Barry Mason and also Les Reed, the man responsible for the Radio Northsea theme tune “Man of Action.”)

And here’s a great little mix of the featured tune by the great DJ Algoriddim check his other mixes here.

And not forgetting (below) this week’s edition of The Rhythm Doctor’s Waiting Room on IDA Radio Tallin a wonderful Monday morning show (with reggae, chilled, electronica, jazz and all sorts) from 9 – 11am UK time here. Big shout to Chris RD for playing an extended mix of Jasmine Tutum & Madtone‘s Return To The Branches at 26 mins in and also 1 hour and 10 mins in, their Earth Citizen track. Cheers Chris!

If you fancy sending us a pic of your garden in the snow send us a pic to onedeckpete at gee mail dot com plus a tune of your choice. Cheers!

Pigeons have a voracious appetite for brassicas

A big shout to Jon and George of the excellent Coughing Pigeon Radio Show on Brum Radio that plays “Not just sounds from across THE spectrum, but sounds from across EVERY spectrum” as the Brum Radio website desribes the show and they’re not wrong there!

On last week’s show they played at 19 minutes in Jazz’min & Madtone’s “Return to the branches” and at 42 minutes Stefanosis with Remembering Augustus off the great FREE Echo Chamber – Around the World in Dub Volume 11/12 on Dan Dada Records available here. Cheers Jon for plugging the compilation! Give Coughing Pigeon a listen if you’re looking for a great cross-genre listening experience!

We all love free stuff! And if it’s dub, even better!

And just as we’d finished writing the last post, we’ve just heard on the 18th of this month (4 days away!) is the release of the FREE Echo Chamber – Around the world in Dub Volume 11/12 via the Dandada Records Bandcamp here.

An action packed 28 track dub set including The Process Skip McDonald, Trevor The Technician McKenzie, The Mutant Frogs, Plastic Culture & Dubby Doo and a brand new number from Jazz’min and Madtone called Return to the branches.

And through the magic of amplitude modulation…

Here’s a recording off an online SDR of today’s One Deck Pete’s “Tunes to cheer you up” which was transmitted on Free Radio Skybird via Channel 292. This is the fifth episode in the series and this week it’s an exclusive of an early mix of a new tune from Jazz’min & Madtone with “Return to the branches”. Apologies for the non Hi-Fi quality but that’s what you get with that wireless thingy.
