    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…

    Same as it ever was

    Love this cover of Talking Heads ‘Once In A Lifetime’ by Angelique Kidjo – reclaiming and rebooting those African rhythms. She’s recorded the whole of Remain In Light, adding her own lyrics and style, so it comes full circle. I love her take on appropriation – she doesn’t see why it’s a problem if it’s…

    As you might have guessed from the last post I’ve been revisiting past eras to find music of resistance for today – the UK and Trump situation isn’t a new one, resisting Thatcher, Nixon, Reagan and Bush v1 and v2 created a lot of music pertinent to today. One of those is The Au-Pairs with…

    Jonathan Pie: State of the news

    Many a truth spoken in jest ‘off camera’ about Jeremy Corbyn. It is crazy that during #piggate and all the stuff and nonsense about an atheist republican not singing ‘God Save The Queen’, there’s been tax cuts for the poorest, trying to scrap free school meals, the refugee crisis, an estimated 50,000+ people died of…
