Flabby Spaceship


Once a joke holiday destination for mothers-in-law, now a 19 year-old boy from New York making cracking tunes based on the instrumentation of Eastern Europe's minorities. That's the kind of global change you only get on the DIY Chart Show. What once was a sprawling metropolis in the grib of sectarian violence is now a happy-go-lucky singing chap from New York who goes by the name of Beirut (pictured above).

This was guest presenter MeTom's tip for 2007 - while Navigator MeRobin was singing the virtues of malcolm middleton and the tussle.

This week's show also featured a wee retrospective autopsy on what went right musically for who last last year. 2006 was for most of us dominated by the resurgence of Baile Funk, the high quality soulful electro warblings of the the Junior Boys and The Knife and swathes upon swathes of 17year old indie bands like the Artic Monkeys (TM) - but different.

Anyway - see what you make of it. You can stream the SHOW HERE - for a short while. (apologies for the recording at the beginning it does improve)
