A new sighting and site for Japan Blues. The debut for the new monthly show peeks through the obscure tea-house window of psychedelic music, in late 1960s Japan. Covering lysergic productions and groovy, woozy pop. They may not have sipped much kool-aid, but they had their own take, and the technology. Paisley Madras jacket, jack to fuzzbox, faze and reverb set to maximum, turn on…

Beautiful chaos may well have been this month’s musical theme, had the songs not picked themselves. These are tunes of the untethered: artists who exist outside the musical boxes we insist on confining them to. Artists who’ve paved the way, and those still pushing things forward… and then there’s Ariel Pink, still making everyone feel a bit uncomfortable, though a visionary nonetheless.

This week Gabon went to the polls to elect a new President and its been just a couple of years since President Ali Bongo was ousted in a coup, and 16 years since his father President Omar Bongo died. Presidential power has been in the the Bongo family and their one party state since 1968. This show however presents some of the glorious music during that time featuring Pierre Akendengué, Patience Dabany (Omar's wife), and bands like Missema, Kakoula Djele de Bongoville, Mikouagna de Mounana, Groupe Kounabeli de Masuku, Franco & TPOK Jazz, and harp player Papé Nziengui. Whats not to enjoy!

Liam is live at the studio to bring you another pick-me-up just before Monday hits! Loads of great songs to pick from, so little time. Oh, and especially the day after Record Store Day! Featured artists are Wir, Nina Kohout, and Harriet Goldberg.

This one is full of folk weave through the contemporary lense. Some reworked music and some authentic. Really enjoyed doing this show. Retrospective of the past two weeks. Faithfully - Bo 🫡☀️❤️
