music to cast (mostly) benign spells to...! thoroughly spellbound by this one already; thanks as I spiral further into the eddy... P🙏🧙♂️🤸♂️
I love that framing! Thanks for the comment.
Having The Incredible String Band followed by Crass reminds me of an old friend. We travelled to a lot of punk, post-punk and anarcho-punk gigs together in the early 80s, including one by Crass in Bishop's Stortford, and I remember he always had a tape recorder with him and a cassette of songs that meant a lot to him, including tracks by the Incredible String Band:) I can't recall if Crass were also included, John Lennon's Working Class Hero was definitely there! Cheers for bringing back these memories:)
Love those recollections! Those must have been some heady days. Not so easy to follow ISB with most Crass, but this is a really unusual Crass track!
Hi! Would you be interested in reworking one of your mixes for Radio 1190 in Boulder, CO? We're looking for new artists for our 1190 BPM series - more info at https//1190.radio/bpm 😊
That sounds cool! Any thoughts on which mix I should rework to submit?
A fascinating listen! So much striking music from before I was interested in this kind of thing, and again a great set of songs to end it.
Thanks for listening and for the comment! It took me a long time to get interested in these kinds of sounds too.
Thanks for this excellent mix!
Glad you enjoyed it! I really admire your mixes, so your compliment is very much appreciated.
