Men Often Keep Returning to Places That No Longer Make Sense to Other People at The Listening Room HQ

The Cobbler – Scottish Images & Art Prints

Men Often Keep Returning to Places That No Longer Make Sense to Other People, my new post at The Listening Room HQ my men’s practice and The Polymat sister site – speaks of workshops, garages, allotments, and other familiar places that continue giving men rhythm, continuity, competence, and human anchoring long after practical or financial logic begins to fade. It can be read on The Listening Room HQ site.

Mondo Bizarre Magazine Amazing Sounds & Other Delights, Radio Show, Raquel Pinheiro, YéYé Radio

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #96 – The We’re Still In Spring edition by Raquel Pinheiro on Yé Yé Radio Monday 18th and 25th

Saint Sappho

My radio show Amazing Songs & Other Delights #96 – The We’re Still In Spring edition is broadcasted Monday 18th and 25th May, 3-4pm (London time) on Yé Yé Radio: yeyeradio.com to (or on the app).

There’s seventeen songs of different genres and time periods. By new bands and longs established ones. Some of the songs aren’t an obvious Spring choice, but they make sense to me in springtime.

The programme goes from a Spring song for children, The Kiboomers – Ladybugs Fly, to fado with Rita Braga’s tropical interpretation of Amália Rodrigues and Don Byas’ Rua do Capelão.

There’s space for indie songs, Again and Again and Again by Silly Boy Blue, Sun It Rises by Fleet Floxes, Stranger Baby by Gifthorse or Whole Again by Saint Sappho. Along Schubert’s Frühlingsglaube sung by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, and Test Department with the South Wales Striking Miners Choir singing Take Me Home.

The heavy weights contingent includes  Taylor Swift, The Beatles, The Avett Brothers, and The Kinks.

And that’s not all.
