All the Playlists

It’s Bad you Know – R.L. Burnside

24 July 2017

I haven’t purely been a meat eater (roots listener) for ever but in recent times I’ve been easily lead into the realm of sampling, beats and loops.

Dream A Little Dream Of Me – Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

23 July 2017

Everyone knows the Mama Cass version, and hers is fine, but nothing can ever touch the Ella and Louis recording. The lyrics make it an obvious lullaby, but there’s so much more happening here…

Indigo – Matthew Mayfield

18 July 2017

I’ve gotta get more miserable!  The tracks in the last few weeks have been way too uplifting – oh sure – the subject matter’s pretty down but these songwriters somehow seem to make you feel better.  Torch songs coming soon!

Light of the Seven – Ramin Djawadi

18 July 2017

Well come on – the series started again this week so it was a pretty easy choice!  Having said that – this is a killer track and really rewards repeated listening.

Breezin’ – George Benson

18 July 2017

Most people don’t know that soul singer Bobby Womack composed the luscious “Breezin’,” made popular by singer-songwriter/guitarist George Benson.

Unfuck the World – Prophets of Rage

18 July 2017

This year’s first new Prophets of Rage material, Unfuck the World, has all the characteristics you’d expect from RATM and Public Enemy. Frankly, it feels like it was made for the Music to Fight Evil playlist.

Dismantle – Peter Sandberg

18 July 2017

WOW, this is a perfect track to keep your mind away from the anxiety and the fears about flying. This piano solo song is able to caress your soul, driving you in a place surrounded by light and comfortable feelings.

Billie Jean – Pink Turtle

18 July 2017

After a great jazz week, why not extend it for another week showing groups making a difference in the genre. And this week we will be featuring Pink Turtle, an awesome french swing jazz band, making a great cover of Billie Jean…

Coven – Fabrice Torricella

18 July 2017

Currently I’ve been putting a lot of focus on the 90s in the playlist because I feel it was really such an important time for the underground sound. Not only was it when I personally got into the music, it was also a time where Europe really helped to propel it into the limelight.

Somebody – Dream Wife

18 July 2017

This song isn’t overly complicated nor is it overly angstyInstead, it’s a catchy tune that lightheartedly mocks the unwanted attention that pretty girls in male-dominated industries have to face. Sure, being a pretty girl has its advantages but sometimes it can also feel like a curse.

They Thought I Was Asleep – Paul Kelly

17 July 2017

So stoked to bring you another Aussie gem, back to back with last weeks “Cruel Sea”.

Paul Kelly would have to be one of the most respected Singer/Songwriters in Australia. Every couple of years he’ll pop up in an intimate Theatre or home town show, whether he’s solo or with his band you can be guaranteed the night of your life.

Funky Love – Nate James

15 July 2017

I remember hearing this song for the first time in London at Cafe 1001. I hushed my friends so that my phone could hear over the loud voices and espresso machine and tell me what song was sound-tracking everyone’s’ conversations.
