Every now and then I break with the familiar routine of Radio Slipstream and present an episode that is defined by one theme or another. People seem to find them more interesting than regular episodes.

Episode 95. Released January 22, 2008
Radio Slipstream counts down what it sees as the best albums of 2007! The tip top of my top albums of 2007 list that was fiddled with constantly throughout the year (and in its entirety went up to 280…uhps). Sure it’s a bit late, but that just means it’s more […]

The final episode of Radio Slipstream aired on CFMU. Nothing new here (except one old favourite that somehow never got featured on the show), just a selection of my most favourite songs. Like a flashback episode I suppose. I worked pretty hard on this, both the show in general, and on squeezing down 3 and a half hours of music into 2 for my final radio program. I hope you like it.

This past weekend I trawled around the sights and sounds of the LOLA festival. I used my status as a community radio host to get some interviews with various folks (festival director Andrew P Francis, visual artist Mr Ghosty and Constantines singer Bryan Webb). I also managed to record a few special LOLA performances, and there’s even some pictures and videos to enjoy!

Every song on this episode is simply named after a girl or woman. That’s it. No last names, no other words. It would be considerably more challenging to do this with male names.

In my youth, these songs on London’s FM96 shaped my appreciation of music to a large extent. Then I branched way the fuck out.

By special request (well, that’s what I’m calling it) I was invited to fill the prestigious 6-9 am slot on CFMU this wednesday morning live in the student centre with all manner of life swarming around me. It features a selection of my favourite sections from the summer shows I did, with special emphasis on the last one, since it was only aired at a really odd time and is one of my personal favourite playlists.

040306: sweet ass jams to make yr booty mauve

This is sorta based around the DJing gig I did for the theatre and film semi formal (with the help of Marco. or really it was more like I was helping him). Only about half the songs here actually got played, but the other half I would sure have liked to.
