Amazing Songs & Other Delights #28 is The I’m Looking For… edition and airs tomorrow, Monday 6th, 3-4pm (gmt+1) on Yé Yé Radio: https://yeyeradio.com/ (or on the app). I had no idea what I was looking for, but ended up with 16 songs about looking, searching for, not looking for, maybe it is found, maybe not and whatnot. The songs choice is very ecletic, from The Chi-lites to Iggy And The Stooges throught The Cramps, Belle and Sebastian, Eminem, Rádio Macau, Fat White Family. And, of course, that 80s every-indie-kid-and-radio-dj-hit Looking for Lewis and Clark by The Long Ryders. The show starts smooth, goes by a 80s-90s cult bands phase, with a twist, and a drop of 00s, says hi to the big names, yes, there is hip-hop toos, tags along rock’and’roll and dance music and ends with a big blast. Everything a proper June show must have. 🙂

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #25 is The Bernard Butler edition and airs tomorrow on Yé Yé Radio c3-4:20pm (gmt+1): https://yeyeradio.com/ or on the app. It pairs with The Steve Albini edition that was broadcast a fortnight ago. From Suede to Bert Jansch through Duffy, Black Kids, Mark Eitzel, Pet Shop Boys and Bernard’s latest collaboration with Jessie Buckley (Jessie Buckley & Bernard Butler with songs written and played by Bernard on a 1950s Gibson tuned in DADGAD ) the show has 17 songs – one of them the same, I’m Tired in its original 1998 vocals and its 2021 vocals that I particularly relate to -, that showcase Bernard’s work as a songwriter, guitarist, producer. When considering which photo to use to illustrate this post Victoria Wai’s photo of Bernard in Gosford, this past January come to mind.

For me the photo has several meanings, triumph over adversity, defiance, gratitude, humbleness, laying oneself bare, as the way Bernard played his song in December 2021 and early 2022, which requires both vulnerability and strength. Since the show airs tomorrow and April 25 marks the day the dictatorship ended in Portugal 48 years go, the photo is also par for such important occasion.

Like with Steve Albini I’ve learned a lot from Bernard and felt inspired by him. Francisco Silva (Old Jerusalem) and I even put some of Bernard’s collaborative songwriting ideas and tips to good use and wrote a collaborative song. Since, again, I don’t want to write the longest post ever, I’ll let the songs speak for themselves. And, yes that famous 1961 cherry red Gibson ES-355 features in several of them.
