Since I received Thomas von Wachenfeldt’s Estradörerna I’ve been listening to it non stop. I knew I one of its pieces was going to open this programme. The choice was Suite no1 in G minor (Jon Erik Hall) I. Visa Air.
Estradörerna has music by three Swedish folk musician – Jon-Erik Öst, Wiktor Öst, and Jon-Erik Hall – arranged for string trio chamber instrumentation by Thomas von Wachenfeldt. It was not chamber, but baroque music, that less to the two final selections.
The show was mostly complete. There were a few possibilities. None seem right, to fit. Returning home by metro an walking, from a concert by Orquesta Barroca Casa da Música playing seven baroque pieces with oboe, some for oboe, there was one of those moments with only the Universal can explain.
Ventos Animais, by Mão Morta and Forças Ocultas by Duplex Longo were the missing links. Each enriched the tapestry of diverse ambients present, allowing for the programme to have a deeper feeling.

My radio show Amazing Songs & Other Delights #80 – The These Are a Few of My Favourite Songs edition airs Monday 2nd, 3-4pm (gmt+1) on Yé Yé Radio: yeyeradio.com (or on the app).
This edition has a self explanatory title. Some of my favourite songs, from different time periods, in one radio show. I have many more favourite songs, and could fill 24 hours, or more with them. But, here, there are 17, including my favourite song, Will Your Me Tomorrow, sang by The Shirelles.
Will You Love Me Tomorrow is also known as Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, title that, to me, gives a better view of the longing, fear, expressed by the lyrics. It was written by Carole King, and her by then husband and co-songwriter, Gerry Goffin and first recorded by The Shirelles in 1960.
Sometimes I Drink My Coffee by the Grave of William Blake is, if not thee song,is a song I would like to have written. It’s brilliant. I would love to have written A Lady of a Certain Age by The Devine Comedy, and Canção de Amigo by Um Zero Amarelo. And all the other choises, of course.
Baby, I Love You was originally performed by The Ronettes in 1963. It was written by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich, and Phil Spector, produced by Spector. Phil Spector produced The Ramones’ End of the Century, released in 1980, in which the band cover of Baby, I Love You appears.
North Marine Drive, Ben Watt’s debut album from 1983, is one of my all time favourite records. I could have picked any of the album songs. I went with the title track.
Aftermath ranks top on my favourite Rolling Stones albums, and Under My Thumb is without a doubt my Stones favourite song.
On the department of favourite albums, there is also Queens of the Stone Age’s Songs For the Deaf. Mosquito Song is the hidden song on the cd version of the album. And eerie, gentle, yet macabre, acoustic song, sang by Josh Homme, with Dean Ween, of Ween, on acoustic guitar, that grows in crescendo and ends with a bang.
