This weeks journey of music discovery - a friends FB post about Robert Altman's "OC & Stiggs" and the King Sunny Ade music in the movie has had me wending my way around online, sampling and buying appealing west African 70 and 80's grooves and psychodelia. I like these journeys and how innocuously they can start, they feel like Alice down the rabbit hole sometimes.

Charlotte Ryan on bFM's Morning Glory (9am-12pm) is pretty reliable. She reminds me of my favourite DJs back in the 80s, early 90s, who knew their stuff, and loved the job, and the music.
And, she makes the funniest ads.
'... I'm so jaded!'
One from the show this morning.

Yes I've enjoyed Richard Langston filling in for Chris Laidlaw who has the most amazingly soporific and yet irritating effect on me. Then I tune into the Sunday jazz show on bfm causing me to hurl the radio out the window.

It goes "noodle noodley noodley". The sound of self indulgence completing a journey up it's own arse.

Vintage Cuts on RDU is my favourite show. Nice to hear a random selection of familiar tunes. Plus, if we're driving on a Sunday, it's my day to choose in the car (I get three days), which means no ZM puke- the songs are bad but the banter is worse.

Can't go past BBC 6Music. My fave, Jarvis Cocker's Sunday Service, isn't on at the moment, but Cerys Matthews' Sunday morning show Cerys on 6 and Lauren Laverne's weekday 1000-1300 show are both worth a listen for decent music and interviews.

Really appreciating radio at the moment. I've got an inflamed eye, so even choosing shit from a playlist is a pain. This post is being written with my eyes closed. One of the good things about being a touch-typist.

What is it with Student radio and "Americana" shows always on Sunday arvo/evenings?
Not that I'm complaining .... The Radio Active one has become a weekly must listen for me at work, only problem with it is that it's followed but a reggae show that's slowly turning to more and more boring Dub instead of the original Dancehall, Roots, Reggae and Dub.
Often have Somafm.com running in the background the rest of the time..... Came across that one at my local craft beer bar which runs it's 480minutes show on the sound system.

An extended mix from 69.

woah, thanks for the nice words, Russell :-)

OK, so I'm a bit biased on this one - but for anyone even remotely of the punk persuasion, Phil Armstrong's "Essence of Punk" show on 95bFM (7 - 9pm on Mondays) is...well, essential. And his alter-host James Burnett on the opposite Mondays plays some very nice psychedelia-inspired tunes.
