The Post Eurovision Comedown
Before we go any further...this is Andrea:
Andrea presents the show after ours, and she is lovely. This week, she has new hair, which is also lovely. That is all.
So, for the second week running we found ourselves overwhelmed with a veritable welter of music to plough through, curiously much of it from Sweden. No idea why. It just was. Even more strangely, nothing from Finland, despite them being crowned musical Kings of Europe last night - if the Eurovision's anything to go by (which, fortunately, its not).
So the aural mouthwash we provided to wash away the taste of the Song Contest was made up of some mellow acousticky stuff from Espers, psychadelia from The Aliens, sleazy hip hop from Robyn, rock - and indeed, roll - from Howlin' Wolf AND Aretha Franklin....and, and, and, well just look at the playlist, eh?
Also had some poetry (very grown up, eh?) from Ivor Cutler, which can be found here
AND...check out the toolbar on the right - see that? That'll be the Jamie Lidell interview, in mp3 format, for you to download for FREE! How good is that? Eh? Eh?
Have a wonderful week, but don't go too far - remember you've got to be back for next Sunday's show. Tra.
