My radio show Amazing Songs & Other Delights #99 – The Luminous edition edition is broadcasted Monday 21 and 28 September, 3-4pm (London time) on Yé Yé Radio: yeyeradio.com (or on the app).

After a pause and repeat shows I’m back to new editions.

As soon as I became aware Johnny Marr was having an auction of his guitars, amps, and memorabilia at Christie’s 17 September I knew how the snow begun. Spin is taken from Johnny’s upcoming album The Age of Everything.

The last song, Bernard Butler singing The Irish Goodbye – one of his new songs live from the Irish Embassy in London for RTE (the Iris national broadcaster) 100th anniversary – was also decided.

The other songs, aside from Lucinda Williams version of The Beatles’ While My Guitar Gently Weeps that I have played before – appeared from different sources and fitted the programme flow and imaginary.

There’s a second Johnny Marr presence. He plays the guitars on Meredith Sheldon’s Once We Were Dust album which I found through his Instagram.

The guitars, or most of them, Johnny plays on Spin and Diamonds Like are no longer his, have changed hands at the auction.

The songs vary in gente, in age, in being from lost albums, or just released. Together they form a diverse tapestry I like.

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #59 The Through Mountains & Valleys aka The Epilepsy edition by Raquel Pinheiro @ mixcloud.

Monday February 12th was International Epilepsy Day. I have two types of epilepsy, photosensitive – in my case affected both by light, and certain types of sounds – and atonic (my muscles suddenly lose contraction and I fall or things slip from my hands). For many people with epilepsy the condition is like traversing mountains and Valleys. In my case that happens mostly with photosensitive epilepsy.

Through mountains and valleys is also, literally, what me and my friend Matt do. Me when walking up and down the more, or less, urbanized areas of Porto – Porto is at the end of a mountain range. Matt lives in Los Angeles and if often at places like Laurel Canyon where, in the 60s and 70s, many musicians lived at, including Neil Young who has epilepsy.

The songs selected for the programme comprise those from musicians with epilepsy as well as those from bands and artists that lived at Laurel Canyon

Monday, 12th February, 3-40pmRunning time: 60:00:08

Trackist:
01 –  Antony & The Johnsons – Epilepsy is Dancing
02 – Joni Mitchell – Michael From Mountains
03 – Chris Knox – Grand Mal
04 – The Byrds – Turn, Turn, Turn (To Everything There Is A Season)
05 – Spandau Ballet – Gold (HD remastered)

07 – The Streets – Dry Your Eyes
08 – Nirvana – Heart Shaped Box
09 – Neil Young – Cinnamon Girl

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #59 The Through Mountains & Valleys aka The Epilepsy edition airs Monday, 12th , 3-4pm (gmt) on Yé Yé Radio: yeyeradio.com (or on the app).Monday February 12th is International Epilepsy Day.

Through mountains and valleys is also, literally, what me and my friend Matt do. Me when walking up and down the more, or less, urbanized areas of Porto – Porto is at the end of a mountain range. Matt in Los Angeles and its sorrpunding areas. Like Laurel Canyon where many musicians lived in the 60s and 70s. Among them, Neil Young who has epilepsy. The songs selected for the programme comprise those from musicians with epilepsy as well as those from bands and artists that lived at Laurel Canyon. To me, Nirvana’s Heart Shaped Box gives the idea of the sudden, stop, motion, electrical discharges of photosensitive epilepsy which is why it is on the tracklist. The colour of epilepsy is purple-lavender, hence Prince’s Purple Rain. Prince had epilepsy until he was seven years old, a fwct he mentions in The Sacrifice of Victor.
