RC 386: Bagpipes, Big Smoke & Bling
Bagpipes are the new rock n’ roll, as is fiddles, accordions and folk is not a four letter word. From London to Scotland via Ireland, we visit hiphop, mashups, deep house, the new ANOHNI album, new Grove and new-ish AFX, and visit two kinds of Drakes (and don’t talk about one of them). And the…

Mash of the Titans
After the deluge of albums on Friday I took a while to check out the rest, and was surprised by the Panos T compilation ‘Mash of the Titans 10’. Sure there are heavy doses of EDM mash and pop that isn’t my usual thing – but given it’s Pride month, and sunny my pop tolerance…

Nice! More over at their site called ‘Visions of the Future’…

Who Stole the Sunshine and Show 244? Well it seems to be this little fellow, obviously working for the NSA (National Sunshine Allowance, not No Strings Attached). Thankfully the sunshine escaped the PRISM and is now back, but show 244 seems to be still in chains somewhere in Gitmo after a brief trip on a…
