Amazing Songs & Other Delights #101 – Oceanic edition by Raquel Pinheiro Monday 19&26 on Yé Yé Radio

Penelope and the Ducks – Underwater Woman: Swimming In The Sea

My Amazing Songs & Other Delights #101 – Oceanic edition is broadcasted Monday 19 & 26 October, 3-4pm (London time) on Yé Yé Radio: yeyeradio.com to (or on the app).

I return to ocean swimming late May and have kept it, including going to the ocean at night. At night, usually, given the conditions to walk along the shoreline, but, sometimes the water is good enough for a nightswim.

As R.E.M.’s song say that appears in the programme says “Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night”.

Preceding R.E.M. are Queens of The Stone Age with I Sat By The Ocean.
Underwater Songs are Luís Figueiredo & Manuel Rocha, a voice and piano duo that is releasing their second album Underwater Songs Vol. 2 in November.

There’s Sétimo Legião with Sete Mares, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ The Ship Song, Charles Trenet with La mer.

The Who bring Sea And Sand from Quadrophenia, The Velvet Underground, arrive with Ocean,
The Shins walk with Sea Legs,
Van Morrison’s Into The Mystic brings an otherworldly dimension.

Amalia Rodrigues singing Canção do Mar, and Chico Buarque with Mar e Lua bring deep emotion and longing.

Bernard Butler appears twice. The Sea (Edit), a b-side from Stay, a single from his debut album People Moved On, and Camber Sands from his third album Good Grief.

The closing is for the Beatles with the joyous Octopus’ Garden.

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.

Tracklist:
01: Johnny Marr – Spin
02: Velcro Dog – The Gonzo Futurist Manifesto
03: The Pineapple Thief – God Knows
04: Susanna Hoffs – Casablanca
05: Bikini Body – Leipzig (ft. Ben Katzman)
06: Meredith Sheldon – Diamonds Like
07: Soft Science – Spinning
08: Cesária Evora – Sonsente
09: Filipe Karlsson – Rota
10: The Go – Secular Century Man
11: Lucinda Williams – While My Guitar Gently Weeps
12: Garcia – Quando Não Estás
13: Railcard – Flannelette
14: Yoko Ono – Never Say Goodbye (2026 Remaster)
15: Ex_Re – Radio Station
16: Prince – I Am You
17: Bernard Butler – The Irish Goodbye (live at RTE 100)

Father John Misty, Coliseu, Porto, 02.06.2026.

Ladies & Gentlemen — welcome to the celebration of sound.

I cannot remember attending a concert at the Porto Coliseum, and there have surely been well over fifty by now,with such outstanding sound. And this is precisely where I want to begin. Credit must be given to the entire team of musicians and technicians who allow us to experience music in its purest and most beautiful state.

Father John Misty appeared on stage in all his musical splendour, surrounded by musicians capable of performing at the very highest level of what I consider quality music.

What happened there was magic. It was moving, overwhelming, and capable of making the hairs stand up on the head of even a centenarian with no hair left to stand. Everything in that music was perceptible, everything was tangible, everything was everything.

A consummate performer, possessing the natural poise of his essence as a cult artist, he wandered across the stage like a siren whose song captivates the audience with a visceral diplomat’s passport.

With a set built around 21 songs from his already long career, which from the very first second sent the audience, who almost completely filled the Coliseum, into raptures, there was no shortage of favourites such as Mr Tillman, Chateau, Buddy’s Rendezvous, Mental Health, the joyfulness of Novel contrasting with the nostalgic introspection of Magic Mountain and the agonised, warlike energy of Payoff in flashes of rhythmic poetry. She Cleans Up, of course, and finally the magnificent Mahashmashana.

That scarlet red backdrop, the deep blue tones and the lighting did the rest, and everything was simply… just perfect!

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
05: The Beach Boys – Catch A Wave (Stereo/Remastered 2001)
06: Deerhoof – Milk Man
07: Cake – Distance
08: Stereolab – Lo Boob Oscillator
09: Brian Eno – By This River  (2004 Digital Remaster)
10: Lupe Fiasco – Cake
11: Can – Vitamin C
12: Everything But The Girl – Temperamental
13: The Sea and Cake – Parasol
