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…

Me too! 😉 Well maybe not this extreme, but ‘Slashed Wrists This Chrismas’ off Gruff’s forthcoming Atheist Christmas EP and it sounds like he’s been listening to Culturecide’s Depressed Christmas (you can still hear it on the Bah Humbug mix I did)…although rather more gently handled, it sums up the ambivalent feelings created…
