Although I feel time has not been kind to Laurent Garnier’s music (it sounds rather dated now, but it could just as well be me getting old), but I do love listening to his “It is what it is”-radioshow on Radio Meuh which he duefully also uploads to his SoundCloud-account. Garnier’s musical taste, which he displays in his radioshow, is that broad that every show there’s at least one song that I get all excited about. This time it’s a solo improvisation from Bill Evans from back in 1958, titled “Peace Piece”. So beautiful!

Just now, while on the train, I was listening to “It is what it is” Saison Quatre, emmission 2 and heard “El Recorrido” from Acid Mondays.

Ain’t it funky now?
Music from Our Tube; Nathan Fake – Stops (bye Laurent)
“It is what is is”, Laurent Garnier’s weekly radioshow, stopped airing in December. His entire last episode featured songs about “the end”, including the Doors’ epic song at the very end.
But it was this electro-thingie by Nathan Fake that jazzed me up;
