My friend Manuel Carvalho and I put together 13 songs and instrumentals from thirty years ago. I had never heard some of Manuel’s choices before. Which pleases me, since I love to find out new music, even if it may not be exactly my genre.
Our choices aren’t necessarily the only type of music we were listening to in 1995, but they reflect our different tastes and contrasts.
For the most part, Manuel brought long, instrumental tracks, including a jazz cover of Nirvana’s Come As You Are by Charlie Hunter Trio. I brought songs, and loud guitars.
1995 was the biblical year of Britpop battle of the bands. Blur vs Oasis. I have always like both bands. Instead of the greatest hits from Blur’s The Great Escape and Oasis’ (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, I chose, respectively, Stereotypes, She’s Electric.
I did the same with Mcalmont & Butler’s The Sound Of… Instead of Yes or You Do, I picked Don’t Call It Soul
There’s also HIM, Kyuss, Nightmares On Wax, Faith no More, Emperors New Clothes, Ron Sexsmith and more.
The apparent “this things don’t make sense together”, is misleading. Together, our choices form a beautiful musical hour.

My radio show Amazing Songs & Other Delights # 85 – The Of Love & Loss edition airs Monday October 6, and repeats Monday October 13, 3-4pm (London time) on Yé Yé Radio: yeyeradio.com (or on the app).
Of Love & Loss is a self-explanatory title. Originally, that was not how this edition was going to be called. Maybe it would have been called The Mild Ones edition. The Mild Ones are a wonderful Suede fan group of which I am part of, and there are several Mild Ones on this edition – Mark Robin White (A 90s new man called Stan), Bettina Korn, James Mediocre (The Vinegar Tasters), Simon Gilbert (Suede).
Or maybe it was going to be called something else. Bettina’s cover of John Denver’s Annie’s Song was certain, regardless of the name thos edition of Amazing Songs & Other Delights would have. Monday, September 30, Ian Pye posted Suede’s Daddy’s Speeding to the group.
I was reminded of how great the song is, and listened to it a few times, because the song has a very interesting musical change, and selected as one of my International Music Day for The Polymath.
A couple of days latter I was listening to it on repeat for very different reasons. Curve balls. Life, love, loss. The other songs were already in though for this edition, or came as soundscape of feelings and emotions.
Most of the songs aren’t necessarily about love. Or loss. They aren’t all gloomy, far from it. Daddy’s Spending does sits at the center, with its music, vocal, words, highly charged emotional landscape, but the songs before and after offer a full picture of a week filled with changes.
To lighten things a bit, in the spirit of Wally, can you spot Bernard Butler, (other than in Suede)?…

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.
