And I think this radio show reflects that. Despite some horrible technical probs, which meant having to ditch a bunch of tunes AND cut down on the bullshit chat, this was one of the funnest shows ever. I even had a dance around the office despite, for the first time in ages, there being no techno on the show (hmmm, does The Knife’s opera count?)

So if you want to download, head over here, or there’s the obligatory gutted Spotify playlist here.

1. Hypnotic Brass Ensemble – Party Started from Hypnotic Brass Ensemble (Honest Jon’s)
2. Chilly Gonzales & Boys Noize – Never Stop (Piano-Pella) from Never Stop (single) (Phantasy Sound)
3. Kronos Quartet – The Castle from Dracula (Nonesuch)
4. Kronos Quartet – Dr. Van Helsing and Dracula from Dracula (Nonesuch)
5. Kronos Quartet – The End of Dracula from Dracula (Nonesuch)
6. The Knife – Seeds From Tomorrow, In A Year (Rabid)
7. School Of Seven Bells – The Wait from Disconnect from Desire (Ghostly)
8. Dirty Projectors – Two Doves from Bitte Orca (Domino)
9. Belle and Sebastian – If You’re Feeling Sinister from If You’re Feeling Sinister (Jeepster)
10. Race Horses – Man In My Mind from Goodbye Falkenberg (Fantastic Plastic)
11. Vampire Weekend – California English from Contra (XL)
12. Eddy Current Suppression Ring – Second Guessing from Rush to Relax (Melodic)
13. O Children – Fault Line from O Children (Deadly People)
14. These New Puritans – Attack Music from Hidden (Domino)
15. Gregory Isaacs – Rock On (Observer)
16. Thom Yorke – Harrowdown Hill from The Eraser (XL)
17. Mount Kimbie – Blind Night Errand from Crooks & Lovers (Hotflush)
18. David Kitt – Still Don’t Know from Explorer’s Club: 5. Berlin-Stockholm (Lo Recordings)
19. Samamidon – Saro from All is Well (Bedroom Community)
20. Tindersticks – Keep You Beautiful from Falling Down A Mountain (4AD)

One major omission of the show was playing a track from the new Mount Kimbie album and completely failing to give my review or even backannounce it. I was going to say something like this:

Laid back sample-heavy album, in style of Luke Vibert’s more gentle business, overtones of DJ Shadow \ the Avalanches (ie it sounds a bit old). But it’s quite lovely to listen to, just not sure why it’s getting super-props all over the place. People say it’s dubstep, but there’s not enough bass over the entire record to warrant such an opinion methinks.

SCAD supports over 300,000 people in two districts to free themselves from a life of grinding poverty and debt to one of hope and opportunity through education and training. He is raising funds for the project on behalf of the charity.

The initial target is £500 but he would love to manage a bit more.

Gemma is running a half marathon to raise cash but Bob’s knees are too shot for that, so he is going to attempt an eight hour all-nighter internet radio marathon. It’s going to be on Friday 30th July from 10pm till 6am. Stick it in your diary.

As Bob digs deep in his record collection, risking back ache and square eyes, please dig deep in your pockets and sponsor as much as you can.

Bob’s donation page is here:

Cheers!

Also, we’re donating all 2010 profits from the sale of Purple Radio clothing at Dizzyjam to the good people at Festinho who’s ace festival is in aid of the Action for Brazil’s Children Trust (ABC), which is dedicated to helping the most vulnerable children and young people of Brazil.

See you in a field (hopefully in a nice new t-shirt), soon.

Cheers

Due to space issues on my account (cheapskate that I am), there is only room for two shows to be hosted at a time, so I will be taking the oldest one down each time I post a new one.

As of now, the June and July shows are available – the June show will disappear when the August one is uploaded and so on…

If anyone wants any of the previous mixes just contact me and I’ll sort something out for you.
