Journeys // 1200-1400 16.01.10

old news - sat 16th jan 2010 - 12-2 pm

Hey there folks,

Having brought you the contractually obliged (having advertised it so long ago) rain-based show last week, I am now ready to kick off 2010 good-style!

This week's show is a review of the music that was new to me in 2009. That doesn't, of course, actually mean 'new' music. This is Journeys not the NME. So, I will be playing a selection of decades-old tunes that I heard for the first time in 2009. Simples.

It will also act as a taster of sorts for upcoming shows, featuring, as it will, a genre-busting selection of funk, soul, reggae, African, Cuban, electronic, Brazilian, psychedelic, indie and erm... probably loads of other forms of music that I can't even think of just now...

No Spotlight this week, so that I can just cram in as many tunes as possible.

The Weird But Wonderful vote features just about the only two bands whose new releases I paid any sort of attention to in 2009 (and only because I'm already a fan):

1. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Zero

From the album 'It's Blitz!'. They still f*cking rock! And Karen O is still going all out for the 'arty-kook-punk' vibe.

2. Doves - Push Me On

B-Side to the single 'Kingdom Of Rust', from the album of the same name. One of my favourite live acts ever. Have seen them a few times, the most memorable being the Barrowlands Ballroom here in good old Glasgow toon, just after The Last Broadcast came out. Sweet.

To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.
