My Amazing Songs & Other Delights # 76 – The New, Found, Remembered edition airs Monday 10, 3-4pm (gmt) on Yé Yé Radio: yeyeradio.com (or on the app).

The title is self-explanatory. This programme is a mix of new songs, songs I chanced upon from different songs, some new, some not, and songs I remembered.

It’s also another case of one thing leads to another. As a whole the 19 songs from various decades, with emphasis on very recent ones, on Amazing Songs & Other Delights # 76 – The New, Found, Remembered edition form a fresh, engaging, beautiful programme.

A friend posted about Robert Wyatt’s 80th birthday, Epic Soundtracks song Jellybabies with Wyatt singing flashed in mind.

Berkley’s Gram Theft Parsons is one of those songs that tell a story, a narrative style often absent in recent songs. Gram Theft Parsons is the story of the final months of Gram Parsons life, told with no sugar coating.

Crazy Horse are better know as Neil Young backing band. I Don’t Want to Talk About It is from their self titled debut album, released in 1971. I Don’t Want to Talk About It was written by Danny Whitten and would become a hit for Rod Stewart and Everything but the Girl. Ry Cooder plays pedal steel guitar and slide guitar on Crazy Horse’s original that is produced by Jack Nitzsche.

Marlon Williams’ Aua Atu Rā is the first single from Te Whare Tīwekaweka Williams first album in Māori language. OMIRI’s Pé com Pé mixes of Portuguese traditional music and dance music, resulting in an attractive, strange song.

Love No More comes from The Durutti Column 1989 album Vini Reilly, re-released last year on Record Store Day. Durutti Column Vini Reilly re-released is one of my records of 2024.

Rent Boy, a song by Jude Alderson is from the 1986 documentary Andy The Furniture Maker, about Andrew Marshall, part of the documentary series Six of Hearts, directed by Paul Oremland. I learned of the documentary by reading an article on The Guardian. I liked the documentary and loved the song.
