SESSION 57: At Home With Rose

The Hissing of Winter Fires

>> DOWNLOAD HERE <<

It's likely this is going to be podcast to the wonderful Foxy Digitalis, so it's a dual-purpose show this week.

Mostly low-fi, mostly new(ish) with a splash of old NZ tracks for good measure. My fave has got to be the delicious White Hinterland from Portland, Oregon. Just recently discovered them and am enjoying their poppy other-worldly tunes. When I say mostly low-fi, well, this is one that isn't.

Portland is well represented in this mix I've just realised, with Grouper and Bugskull also included. I'm going to visit Portland in about a year's time. There, it's on record now, so I have to do it! Lot's of people to visit, that's for sure.

'Little Wig' off the new album by Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti is also rather lovely.

SESSION 50: At Home With Rose

Lovely low-fi

>> DOWNLOAD HERE <<

Bloody hell! Fifty shows under my belt! Pretty damned pleased about that, yessiree.

This week's theme became apparent after choosing my first 3 songs. Seems I have low-fi on my mind. And back to some good New Zealand music which is fitting cos that's where this radio show began. Mixed in are a few songs from the rest of the world, but the core is most definitely Noo Zild.

Note all the great NZ labels. Yes, we have some wonderful musicians in this country, but don't forget about the hard work done by the people that run the labels to get the music out there so you can listen to it. Amongst tonight's labels:

Pseudo Arcana
Celebrate/Psi/Phenomenon (now called Don't Fuck With Magic)
CLaudia
nextbestway
The other NZ labels here are defunct (as far as I know).

Lots of gigs coming up and no money to go to them. Darn. Wish I was going to Health and wish I was going to Isis. Ah well. It is not to be.
