This week's show featured a radio play by Samuel Beckett called Rough for Radio II from a recording entitled Seven Radio Plays by Samuel Beckett. These recordings were first heard on the BBC radio. I really wanted to play All that Fall, however it runs more than an hour. I was inspired to select Beckett this week because I just recently obtained a copy of Nohow On from a second hand bookstore. I have been looking for this for a while during my used bookstore investigations.
I also played some GHQ, a band that has been one of my favourites for a while. I played Sacramento the B Side off of California Night Buning Dreams, which I had playing under the Beckett recording. That was followed by GHQ's Part i from Requiem for Bophal. There was also track by Kites called Baby Fawn with Broken Legs from their album Peace Trials that I tend to favour a lot. I figured I hadn't played/listened to either of these projects in a while which sort of guided my selection. I wasn't disappointed.
I ended things off with a too short excerpt from a Tuluum Shimmering CS called Flowers of the Honey Tree released on the House of Sun imprint. I had no knowledge of this label or really Tuluum Shimmering before I played it on the show, which is sometimes how it goes. I picked it up on the advice of a very wise friend and I am glad I did. Since roaming the internet for some info, I've learned that that this new age drone magic was created in Flintshire, UK and has other releases on Cloud Valley Recordings and Housecraft Records.
