The Richy & Jeff Show #22

ep21-decameron-post

Episode 22 and we’re easing ourselves back into the swing of things with a short-but-sweet selection of “Easy Listening” and “Dad Rock”!

Jeff chooses a great, unsung piece of Folk Rock from the early 70’s that has a great story attached to it. Richy plays a forgotten 80’s number by a band who would mutate into something far more successful 10 years later.

The Randomizer lets us get all sentimental but throws up a bit of a dilemma for Richy.

The new tracks are much more “to form” with a couple of excellent electronic pieces – both of which owe a heavy debt to the past.

Not much to discuss in the way of musical highlights – always an issue in January – but despite that, as you’d expect there aren’t many awkward silences.

One imminent thing to look forward to, it’s Jeff’s “Vinyl Frontier – The Album Championship” this weekend, in which Richy – in a highly predictable move – will be singing (not literally) the praises of a Goth / not Goth masterpiece, which has little, to no hope of winning. We’ll undoubtedly report back next time!

Thanks for listening.

The Richy & Jeff Show #21

New Fast Automatic Daffodils - as featured in Episode 21

Episode 21, our first show of 2015 in which we ask look back at 2014 and ask ‘how was it for you?’

As is traditional at this time of year we take a minute (well, ok, 81) to look back at some of the great old, new and random music that we’ve played this year.

Somehow, from the list of almost 200 quality tracks that we’ve played since we started the show, we manage to choose 3 favourites each.

We own up to the few tracks that we played that seemed like good ideas at the time, but in retrospect were absolute stinkers. We’ll aim for fewer in 2015!

We also recall our favourite gigs of the year (both pretty predictable to be honest) and our other music-related highlights and look forward to what we’ve already got lined up for 2015.

What becomes obvious during this show is that we’ve both had a blast. In fact we may go as far as to say it’s been a vintage year. Let us know how it was for you?

Whether you’ve been with us since Ep 1 or you’re listening for the first time, we’re happy to have you onboard. Thanks so much for listening.
