Amazing Songs & Other Delights #32 – The Autumn Is Here edition by Raquel Pinheiro @ YÊ YÊ Radio

The Autumn Is Here and so is Amazing Songs & Other Delights #32 – The Autumn Is Here edition that airs tomorrow, Monday 10th, on YÊ YÊ Radio: https://yeyeradio.com/ (or on the app) 3-4pm (Lisboa/London time).

The 16 chosen songs don’t directly have to do with Autumn as in having Autumn on the title or so, more with having what to me is an Autumnal feeling.

There will be jazz (Arkadia Jazz All-Stars), there will be crooners (AntÃŗnio Vale da ConceiÃ§ÃŖo), there will be Bowie, there will be 90s popisih (Heavenly), there will be a mercury prize nominee (Jessie Buckley & Bernard Butler), there will be Mick Karn, sorry, Japan, there will be a fictional producer that once lived in downtown new york above a shop among his uncle’s records and so (Wolf Manhattan), there will be Cream, but of course there will, and there will be more, much more. Tune in.

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #31 – The Heroin Diaries edition by Raquel Pinheiro @ mixcloud

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #31 – The Heroin Diaries can now be listened to at YÊ YÊ’s mixcloud.

The Heroin Diaries is the name of one of Nikki Sixx ‘s (Motley Crue’s bassist) memoirs.

The 16 songs on the tell it in my place the trials, struggles, sorrows and losses from heroin addiction that so many friends, acquaintances, neighbours, people I work with, strangers and, of course, musicians and other artists who paid the price for.

When I start reading through my 80s diaries I was surprised to find so many around me using it. Surprised in the sense I had totally forgot about it. Also, by then, and again now, Porto had a serious heroin addiction problem. In recent years I’ve had a few less than cool encounters with people asking me where to buy heroin and the likes because when you’re “strung out on heroin” all you think about is beetlebum, chasing the dragon, brown sugar since she’s a cruel mistress.
