A quick glance around the schedules

On In Tune today (4.30) Breabach perform some lively tunes live.


(looking forward to that a bit more than a string quartet playing RadioHead on LJ but you never know...)

On In Tune today (4.30) Breabach perform some lively tunes live.

I heard and enjoyed them Global - and they played a Karine Polwart tune and did a fine version of it.

[Globaltruth]

ok, next I'm hoping this might lead to some interesting sounds on LJ...

Genuinely, I love Stonehenge. It lifts the spirits. Actually, it would be great to write songs for a CD that are all about the A303.

Achill-henge isn't quite as good but is impressive in its own way. My theory is that it was built by Irish sun worshippers who played the entire works of Turlough O'Carolan on a hammer dulcimer every other Friday.

If you look closely enough, you can see that it as an exact replica of the Giants Causeway.

The markings of the stones tell me that they must have been carried on the backs of whales from the Rhondda Valley by vegetarian monks, probably two hours and seventeen minutes before a lunar orbit:

Cerys played Nusrat FAK yesterday morning - that was great Sunday morning listening - mind you she followed it with the Floyd - curious! I keep finding myself enjoying Lambchop when I hear them/him on the wireless (which is almost what I was this weekend - wirelessless). John Cooper Clarke's compilation at 12 yesterday was a good listen too.

[johncorrigan]

I thought Cerys kicked off her show nicely this morning with a very fine bit of crossover - Nusrat Fatah Ali Khan's Mustt Mustt performed by Canadian Indian singer Kiran Ahluwalia with Tinariwen.

I wonder where she got that idea about playing some pre-revolution, Iranian pop ?

Not really my usual kind of thing but I found the piece from today's Woman's Hour about Erin Headley and the Lirone interesting and the music quite beautiful.

Nice day for Cerys in the garden this morning - they were broadcasting from Maida Vale...... Joe Boyd was on and chose Leroy Carr as a Blues Hero of his and played this. Apparently Leroy's liver gave out at 30 and you can tell he likes a drink.

Joe said that he had first been in that very studio on his first job out of College as organiser of the Blues/ Gospel train, and it was decided on a day off to make an Otis Spann record, so they got Otis, Muddy and a few others from the show in to make that record. He's good value that Joe Boyd. Recited a rather excellent ee cummings poem too for Cerys' poetry corner. Apparently writing a book about World Music just now.

At 7 tonight on BBC4 one of my favourite Nashville singer-songwriters performs: Diana Jones.
Plus Steve Earle & at least 1 other.

Back on r3 on Sunday 18 March, at 11.00 p.m. in a jass slot, its Mulatu Astatke.

Also upcoming is Oilrig with the Songlines nominations and the good Doctor at 10 on Sunday explains how she cracked the nut of Brazil. maybe

The Essay this week is on the topic of mountains...don't think there will be much WM in them but you never know.
The first one sounds interesting as does Lucy Skeaping's show on Sunday at 1300 on the lullaby - looks like there is at least 1 WM track.

So, let's join Mr Lartigue's Cousin Bichonnade and jump into the aural unknown during next week...

[handsomefortune]

oh i love jacques henri lartigue ... he knows all the tricks globaltruth - every single one. my all time very best photographic exhibition visit ever too, curated by his family ....(not an 'unhelpful' curator's comment to read anywhere). after, we went to the catacoombs under neath paris, which i also enjoyed although was itching to steal some bones .... for some unearthly reason, (as i' don't usually experience cleptomaniac tendencies as a rule).

i'd best put it down to 'over excitement'!


speaking of which, thanks very much for all those great upcoming radio tips global ....obviously, am specially pleased that we're heading back to ethiopia for the 18th.

[Paul Sherratt]

But what is the trick with Cousin Bichonnade, handsome ? Where was the Lartigue show ?

[johncorrigan]

was itching to steal some bones

Humerus tale that! Dry bones I assume, hsf?
