my heritage rules!

Quickly! Before I have to go back and do "real" work!

If you hit up the FLFD Myspace, there's tracklistings for the shows since the start of the semester, and I realise I haven't posted some songs from the past couple of comps used in the show's Compilation Procrastination feature. So, from the OOP Back to Peru: The Most Complete Compilation of Peruvian Underground 64-74 (used on the 09.11 show), here's a few tracks:



That Texao track is my shit. I looooove that! Because the jawn is OOP, I may just up it this week. Maybe. In case, you may be able to get it here, and the UK part two from here, but if you're reading, lemme know how that works out.

I'll post about this week's compilation, A Whiter Shade - A World of Hits, next week - you can still hear my selections from it up on the Listen Again. Fast-forward to 1:43:30 and relaaaaaaaxx, man.

that soul music? that soul music.

I was listening to an old Gilles Peterson podcast on the way up to uni this morning - it was the Mayer Hawthorne podcast, click here to download it - and heard some stuff that absolutely knocked me out. For me more than anybody else, check out these songs... they're just... wow. Check 'em out, then subscribe to Gilles. He's my dude. You already know.



Mayer Hawthorne - Just Ain't Gonna Work Out

Brenda Holloway - Till Johnny Comes

oh my heart's life

So, my bad for not blogging for about a week - Fresher's kicked off last week and my schedule is still needing to settle down some. I would love to blog at home in bed with a cup of tea, truth be told, but that luxury isn't coming today as I'm running about with a cold to classes, lectures, libraries, job interviews, Air3 meetings... And the internet is down in my flat so I'm afraid posts will be dotty for the time being.

But! FLFD is officially BACK LIKE CRACK NEXT WEEK on Air3 Radio and we'll be playing the best of what I've found out there on the internet. And this time I'll hopefully have a slot in the evening because very few people were willing to start their morning with the odd mixture of hardcore, drone, dance, jazz and hip-hop that usually makes up a usual playlist. But no boundaries, y'heard? That's a promise!

And here's something I'd love to throw on the show even though it would take up a full hour of a two-hour slot (those wishing to start a show this year: not a good idea for radio). Mudd Up! have revisited a post they made four years ago about Oum Kalthoum, a mega famous Egyptian singer and actress, and a live performance of her trademark song "Enta Omri" ("You Are My Life"). Now, "Enta Omri" is a song that usually can last up to forty minutes, so if you're busy you may wanna bookmark this, but I really think you should listen to this pronto. It's gorgeous.

The link above directs to the stream Mudd Up! have on their page. You should add them to your favourites while you're at it - great sense of discovery going through their posts.
