the radiofreemidwich show episode 38

Hello comrades!  I hope you and your families are safe and well.  This instalment of the radiofreemidwich show is a departure from the usual tightly edited half hour.  Instead, given the bizarre times we are living in, I’m adopting a more sprawling, conversational style and seeing where it takes us.  Would you believe I’m playing twelve tracks, double the usual number, over a lackadaisical 76 minutes?  Something to engage you whilst you pretend to work from home.

I don’t think I’ll have space in the Mixcloud description for all the details so I’ll put ’em here:

CATFACE MEOWMERS – I SWEAR DOWN (GOOD CHRIST, I HOPE NOT)

https://catfacemeowmers.bandcamp.com/album/good-christ-i-hope-not

ELENTRIC – LA NOCHE DE LAS RANAS (COMPILAME’STA)

the radiofreemidwich show episode 37

Hello comrades! I hope this episode finds you well, despite the troubling times. It was edited whilst I was off work sick with a heavy cold (don’t worry, not the one that is in the news) so there is plenty of croakiness in the links and, unintentionally, a fair amount of wooziness in the music. I must have unconsciously picked stuff to mirror my physical state. I’m well pleased with the selection, though, so take this mix twice a day with food. Doctor’s orders.

Featuring music from CADY, Gary Wilkinson, tujuh kuda, ollijohanna, Star Turbine and caroline mckenzie

the radiofreemidwich show episode 36

Hello comrades! I hope this finds you well or, if not, I hope you can get one ear to this whilst the other is on your pillow. Why not stare at the ice patterns on the attic window, or contemplate shapes in the yellow wallpaper, as you convalesce and listen to this?

Featuring music from Fit to Work, Corazón de Robota, Posset, breather, Singapore Police Background and Binky. Clinically proven to reduce symptoms of the dropsy.

the radiofreemidwich show episode 35

Hello comrades!  Following three weeks away due to real life demanding my attention I am back exploring the cliffs and caves, looking for unholy critters living in the cracks of strange rock formations…

Featuring music from PERRA VIDA, Sukitoa o Namau, beth gripps, cowp, Pinnel and Grand River, this episode is a terrific array of beautiful oddity.

Thank you for your kind attention and may I ask a favour?  Listeners do seem to drift off during any break – seeking a fix elsewhere, presumably, when their regular dealer is in jail – so please spread the good word of RFM’s return.  Cheers!

the radiofreemidwich show episode 34

Hello comrades! Ignore that rattling noise behind me, it’s just ‘real life’ trying to get into the room and demand I take it seriously. Bollocks to that, eh? I’ve stuck a chair under the door handle so I think we’re good for the next half hour. Let’s start with fury and work our way towards drone beauty via an international selection of indefinable racket. It will be therapeutic.

Featuring music from SPIT ACID, Pö, KAGAMI Smile, yol, Jodie Lowther and Fordell Research Unit.

Thanks as ever for your indulgence, your attention is precious and lending it to me is very much appreciated.

the radiofreemidwich show episode 33

Hello comrades!  Back again to rub salve into your wounds with rags of strange texture.  It’s been a stressful week for me for reasons too boring to go into here so I thought I’d compensate with an even more soul-drenchingly wonderful selection than usual.  Yes, I love all my endeavours equally but this episode hits the spot with the pavement-cracking accuracy of a superhero’s three point landing.

Featuring music from Falaun, Joined By Wire, Glaring, Romain Perrot & Andrew Sharpley, Interiority of Machine and Onasander & Ryota Horii.  Just So Good.

I hope you dig it and thank you for listening, it genuinely means a lot to me.

the radiofreemidwich show episode 32

Hello comrades! Aside from one pirate chest, open to reveal a hoard of rough cut gems glinting in the stark winter sun, this episode is all mouth – slobber, whoop, song, speech. Mostly human, but not exclusively, accompanied and augmented with buzzing synth, scrabbling racket and scything guitar.

Featuring music from Woven In, Carnivorous Plants, Phantómódel, LEAP WARS, marlo eggplant and samarobryn.

Thank you for listening, as ever, and I would be very grateful if you could spread the word about this endeavour. Comments always welcome too.
