Twee mannen van middelbare leeftijd draaiden een paar weken geleden twee uur lang om beurten allerhande rare plaatjes, kletsten wat en dronken ondertussen gezellig een theetje. De microfoons van BBC Radio 1 mochten meeluisteren naar en U kunt dat ook, door onderstaande mp3 (feed-followers moeten wel even doorklikken) door de kantoorboxen te laten schalmen. Over … Read more
Je hebt zo van die radiomomenten die in het koppeke blijven hangen, zo ook de Worldwide waar ik het vorige vrijdag al over had. In die aflevering van 30 augustus (op Stubru uitgezonden op 2 9 september) zaten oa ook ‘onze’ Zap Mama, Seun Kuti (zoon van) en The Eternals Jimi Tenor (“Tuesday” “Too Many … Read more

Now that I found Gilles Peterson’s WorldWide as a podcast on Radio Nova I’m once again enjoying the nuggets Gilles disperses to his worldwide audience. A couple of weeks ago he played “Sifflant Soufflant” by Casssandre (yes, 3 s’es, must be a Belgian thing), a Belgian jazz singer. While looking for that specific track on … Read more
I still have some old Gilles Petersons “WorldWide” and Laurent Garniers “It is what it is” shows on my computer and once in a while I still “discover” gems in them. Just now, while on the train, I was listening to “It is what it is” Saison Quatre, emmission 2 and heard “El Recorrido” from … Read more
