Amazing Songs & Other Delights #97 – The Of Sea & Cake edition por Raquel Pinheiro on Yé Yé Radio, Monday June 1 & 8, 3-4pm (London time)

The Sea and Cake

My radio show Amazing Songs & Other Delights #97 – The Of Sea & Cake edition is broadcasted Monday 1 and 8 June, 3-4pm (London time) on Yé Yé Radio: yeyeradio.com to (or on the app).

For some reason I had the programme title for a while. Probably, because of Sea and Cake, the band that opens and closes the show. Since I recently went ocean swim again and I like cake, it was a perfect match. Ideas and life catching and matching up.

The songs and instrumentals aren’t necessarily about cake, sweets, or the ocean, although enough are. Like Savoy Truffle written by George Harrison for The Beatles’ White Album is literally about chocolates, and was written for Eric Clapton and his love  of said sweets. For The Of Sea & Cake edition I picked the live version Dhani Harrison singings his father’s song.

The Beach Boys’ Catch A Wave is another literal song, this time about the ocean and catching a wave to surf.

Tracklist:
01: The Sea and Cake – Four Corners
02: Dhani Harrison (Live at George Fest) – Savoy Truffle
03: Air – La Femme d’Argent
04: Queens Of The Stone Age – Monsters In The Parasol

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #53 – The Fórum Sons edition by Pedro Rios & Raquel Pinheiro @ Yé Yé Radio, Monday 6th

Xiu Xiu

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #53 The Fórum Sons edition airs tomorrow,  Monday 6th, 314pm (London time) on Yé Yé Radio:https://yeyeradio.com/ (or on the app)

The Fórum Sons edition is mine and Pedro Rios’ (one of print Mondo’s writers and current Ipsilon, Público’s culture suplement,editor) homage to the thrilling, crazy days of Fórum Sons music and much else online forum that saw Portuguese music writes, musicians and music lovers endlessly debate the virtues, or flaws, of a given artist or band. And boy, could we debate. And argument.

Those were the times of no one, but us, have heard of Antony and The Johnsons The White Stripes and Queens of the Stone Age. Of Wolf Eyes, Xiu Xiu, Deerhoof, Lightning Bolt. As well as of loving Low, Daniel Johnston or Mark Eitzel.

On Fórum Sons life long friendships were forged, marriages came to be a and ended there, writers were enlisted – I lost count of how many people ended up on print Mondo through Fórum Sons. We lost people too, namely Fernando Magalhães, a beloved veteran Portuguese music critics. Even a five aside Fórum Sons team was born.

My first Fórum Sons display name, Monsters in the Parasol, for years shared with my by then husband, is from Rated R, the second album of The song is part of my choices. My second Fórum Sons name Miss Library became the dj name I used when I lived in Lisboa and my dj sets were called Amazing Songs & Other Delights. Pedro Rios display name on Fórum Sons was AKA Idiot. For real! No one ever said Fórum Sons was the most sane,logical, serious place on earth, but it was an extraordinary place. We miss Fórum Sons dearly. Fasten your seat belts, you’re in for quite the sonic ride.
