All change around WYWRadio HQ. A move from Soundcloud to Mixcloud (maybe for just this one show, am not sure yet) and a new format – one hour of power, every two weeks! I’ve been asked to move to Frission Radio (http://frissionradio.com) and with great joy I accepted. Doing hour long shows is different, but let’s see where it goes…

Anyway, a quick should out for this show – you’ve got soul from The Milk, a call to arms from Rauary, newness from Anderson .Paak and Adrian Younge, an Ole Smokey edit, The Holydrug Couple and Horsebeach, a brace of excellent Athens of the North soul re-issues and some mighty tracks in the disco mould from Shake, the Players Association, Ahzz and the Don Jesse Gould. Go check, tell your friends, enjoy the music, follow to Frission – tons of other great shows on there!

Australian disco took the world by storm, it polished the dance floor boards of clubs as far as Ermington, Dundas, Rydalmere and Parramatta. You think I am joking? Bee Gees anyone? This bracket we have two tracks from the Queen of Pop, Marcia Hines from 1976 and 1977. Australian disco people. It is a thing. Then we have JPY, the king of pop and his German smash hit from 1976, Standing in the Rain. Written by Vanda and Young of the Easybeats and Flash and the Pan, this song is, like I said. Australian DISCO. andavagoodweekend.

Fausto is a lounge legend and often entirely unheralded outside of some obscure sampling and breaks. This brilliant cover comes from 17A Raccolta LP released in 1973. The sax replaces the McCartney lead vocal with an cool fuzz guitar and a whacked out lead break at the end. Genius. James Last up next starting what amounts to a VS.SAOE tribute set. One of the worlds greatest bandleaders, James Last died at age 86 in 2015. Here he is covering the Hawkweed classic ‘Silver Machine’ which was of course sung by the late Lemmy of Motorhead, OK, lets top that shall we? Not one, but two cover versions of ‘Ace of Spades’ the Moorhead classic that has had a hammering since the passing of Lemmy. First up is She Goes Bang, this dark and intense cover cracks a whip over the song revealing less speed and more metal. Next up we have the Bad Shepherds, a band fronted by Young One Ade Edmondson.

Bowie. Not much to add the reams of discourse. So I simply present these three tracks. Star by Techno Cowboy comes from the The Ziggy Stardust Omnichord Album released in 2009. Next, derpferdheissthorst which roughly translates as ‘A horse called Horst’. A german cowpony band, this is a weird cover of Ziggy Stardust. Then there was Streisand. Really, I actually went there.

And now. Satan. The Louvin Brothers. A ‘country-gospel’ duo who recorded din the fifties before they split because of the other demon, drink. This comes from their 1958 record ‘The Family that Prays’. Not as Satan heavy as their legendary ‘Satan is Real’ LP, but still HEAVY. Next up, Trio. A forgotten classic from Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt. This track was written by Linda Thompson as a damning indictment of her relationship with Richard Thompson. I simply love this version (the original is a on a hard to find 1985 solo LP ‘One Clear Moment’). It shows the sheer power that is Linda Rondstadt’s voice. The final chorus has such majesty and investment in the lyrics. Finally, we have the one of the darkest albums ever released, the final Richard and Linda Thompson LP ‘Shoot out the lights’ and the title track. This is one of Richard Thompson’s greatest works and in part shows a marriage in collapse (their marriage was over as this record was released in 1982).

Last up we head to Germany for some Krautrock to take us home. First up from the Neu! LP (1972) we have the motorik beat driven Hallogallo. Playing on the german slang for wild partying, this song is driven by a repetitive 4/4 beat that every one called motorik, but that band called a bunch of other terms meaning repetitive (see Wikipedia for the list). This is a great introduction to the Krautrock canon and features some of the legends of the scene in Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother and produced by Conny Plank. Last track of the day bar the secret bonus one (did I say secret?) is Guru Guru, another Krautrock band fronted by drummer Mani Neumeier.

First up for 2016 – all the tracks I couldn’t fit in over the last few months. A lot of vinyl, and also a lot of house/electronic bits I’ve bee dying to play but failed to. The tracklist speaks for itself, links to buy each one in vinyl or digital format are below!

Tips:

Gloria Ann Taylor – Love is a Hurtin’ Thing. Sweet Lord. Get thee to a record dealer immediately and grab this double vinyl re-issue. It’s just too got not to have – soulful as hell, with some super interesting production, not least on the long version of the title track (used to open this month’s show). Ubiquity come correct with this one.

LNRDCROY – Much Less Normal. Not for nothing was this Phonica’s record of 2015. Balearic in the best sense of the word, but with more electronics than just a recording of soothing waves on a beach. There are some really great tracks but the whole thing hangs together in such a way that means you want to listen from beginning to end each time. Recommended.

Soichi Terada – Sounds from the Far East. Rushhour in Amsterdam compiled this, and it’s definitely for fans of late 80s/early 90s house sounds – if you like Mr. Fingers you’re gonna love this. Japanese house for all ages.

(Hopefully) big news for WYWRadio next month. Stay tuned.

This month’s show is brought to you by the dulcet tones and toned abs of the heart and soul of the crew, DJ SCSI-b…over to you..

Vámonos lejos

An hour of power to ferry you from wherever you are to wherever you’re spending the holidays and New Year this end of 2015.

We start out with Carla Morrison, a huge leap forward on her new album, fierce Amor Supremo. Get it, you won’t regret it. Then, dance supremo from Colombia’s Bomba Estéreo before awesome punky/electronic angular stuff out of DC from Beauty Pill. We woke up to Sleater-Kinney soundchecking A New Wave outside our window in Barcelona, what better way to start the day? Great albums from Father John Misty, Wilco, Sufjan Stevens and more this year. Frontera stylings from Calexico, before a little something for family members heading home to the suburbs for the new year and wrapping up with exceptional stuff from Grimes.

Until the next one!
