Amazing Songs & Other Delights #99 – The Luminous edition by Raquel Pinheiro on Yé Yé Radio Monday 21 & 28 September

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.

01: Johnny Marr – Spin
02: Velcro Dog – The Gonzo Futurist Manifesto
03: The Pineapple Thief – God Knows

Field Notes – The Architecture of the Lane at The Polymath

Olga Dashkevich – Old Apple Tree, 2023

Field Notes – The Architecture of the Lane my new post on The Polymath talks of a late afternoon walk I took through old lanes and modern pavements reveals layers of architecture, class and memory. Abandoned houses, workers’ housing, porcelain swallows, hidden exhibitions and a clearing carpeted with fallen apples beneath a waxing Moon.
