Dr. Groove · December 14, 2018

Another show, we edge closer to the big half century. I was eating Vietnamese food in Parnell street when I spotted Thom Yorke on the far side of the street in Neary’s. I popped over for a chat. Unfortunately, much as I admire him he wasn’t very chatty. I think he’s one of the good guys …

Dr. Groove · December 14, 2018December 14, 2018

Yesterday I buried a friend, an inspirational man who I was lucky enough to call a friend. Crucially he was not only a class warrior, but he was an organiser and and a proud anarchist, so his dream for a new world lives on. Like Joe Hill he will never die, because that vision cannot …

Groove On The Wireless # 44 Chelsea – say my name

Dr. Groove · November 16, 2018

Wanting people to see the truth is now officially a crime punishable by 35 years. Orwell said it well. A momentous bold brave move by a young soldier which caused a chain reaction throughout the world ends up with her (Chelsea Manning) going to prison for 35 years. What does that say about …

Groove On The Wireless 235 – Spirit

Dr. Groove · October 27, 2018November 2, 2018

Dr. Groove gets excited when he manages to get his record players working, and records a show which has much vinyl in it. Low leads to Talk Talk and a song that can only be described as spiritual – from a solid non-believer, and so we went on to end with more inimitable minimalism from Talk Talk. Tracklist …
