    Groove On The Wireless 164

    Dr. Groove was singing some punk this week in the region of college green, Dublin on Wednesday evening, thanks to feeling like the ‘fly in the ointment’.  This presents us with the first song of the show, and from there we go into the light, the blue bucket, and daydreaming.  So do yourself a favour and take in the prescribed hour of good music, whilst the world goes to hell in a hand basket.

    Groove On The Wireless # 143

    A show made up entirely from women singers/performers for International Women’s day which took place back on Tuesday.

    As Caitlin Moran says so eloquently about IWD..”Because remember that patriarchy’s bumming you as hard as it’s bumming us. We’re bulimic, objectified and under-promoted. You, meanwhile, are unable to talk about your feelings lest you get punched in the nuts by “a lad” telling you not to be “a bender”. You are unlikely to get custody of your kids, and are three times more likely to commit suicide. Feminism’s about sorting all this stuff out. Because it’s about equality. Not burning the penises. I can’t emphasise enough how much it’s not about burning penises. No burnt penises here.”

  • Groove on the Wireless 2

    GrooveOnTheWireless2

    This week Doctor Groove takes a closer listen to some of the voices that have resonated with us, him through the ages, from the man known  as Howlin’ Wolf  (for good reason) who led to Captain Beefheart.  We deal with the delicious melt in your head magic dance from Detroit to the little more unorthodox but still danceable sounds from Black Dice. Mr. Savage teaches us Garda elocution, The Ex drop a political metaphor on us and don’t forget Yfronts play some children’s musical instruments to dinky effect.

    Regroovable – a new word – spotted on a lorry on a site in east Galway.  It is what happens when Radioactive put up an old show for when the Doctor does not manage to get his act together. But this is a new show – so the usual mix of old tunes, new tunes and rants, but all good music.

    Some details are incorrect – a Red Planet track – (classic detroit Techno from Mad Mike Banks & his crew) appears instead of Mouth to Mouth by Audion as originally suggested by your host DJ.  Secondly, it is Christopher O’Reilly , and not  Christopher Nolan (either the Director or the dead poet and/author) that did that album of Radiohead covers.

     

    Tracklist 

    • Nancy Sinatra – Bang Bang
    • Kresy – Midnight in Manhattan
    • Red Planet Six –
    • Dionne Warwick & the Spinners – They came you
    • Christopher O’Reilly – Bulletproof
    • The Tame Impalas – Let it happen [Soulwax remix]
    • Stereolab – Super-Electric
    • The Velvet Underground – What goes on
    • Joe Boot & the fabulous winds – Rock n Roll Radio
    • Radiohead – Videotape
    • Roots Manuva – Don’t Breath Out
    • Blind Willie Jefferson – John The Revelator

  • Slight Return 9

    Older folks have been on my mind recently. I met a man recently that fought in Africa in WW2 in the flight corps and said “Chocks away” and really meant it from experience. It got me thinking about age and society and how maturity is valued and thought of. Which got me thinking about how ageing and growth and the passage of time are reflected through music.

    Also, if you get a chance check out Frightened Rabbit’s video for The loneliness and the scream
