Monday Mixtape 28/12/2020
This past week, I’ve been listening to a lot of lute and classical guitar music, plus binge-listening to Maddy Prior, Sting and Loreena Mckennit on repeat. Comfort music, you know. But the general mixtape series were made for tracks released in the same year aka “new releases” — so I’m going to attempt to play … Continue reading Monday Mixtape 28/12/2020

Some Qawwali music for your Sunday. I love this one by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan so much. Continue reading Sunday Matinee 8/11/2020
Friday Night Mixtape 06/11/2020
This is actually several hours early for Friday Night, but a day late for the catalyst for this Mixtape: the 5th of November and Guy Fawkes Night. I’ll never forget my first, and only Guy Fawkes Night. I was five or six, and in school in Edinburgh. I was quite frightened of it all 🙂 … Continue reading Friday Night Mixtape 06/11/2020

Monday Mixtape 26/10/2020
Can’t Touch This or That or You or My Face — Kaki King Kaki King’s new album, Modern Yesterdays, just dropped! It is most excellent, I am very satisfied. Already listened to it three times!

Sunday Matinee (Flamenco Edition) 25/10/2020
I’m a huge fan of Tony Gatlif movies and Vengo is one the best, I think. So tragic, so beautiful. This movie also introduced me to the music of Tomatito. (there’s another clip I wanted to share but it has the G-word in the title so. Best if you guys just try to find the … Continue reading Sunday Matinee (Flamenco Edition) 25/10/2020
Friday Night Mixtape 23/10/2020
Well well well, it’s Friday again, the day in which I do a more eclectic mixtape. I like to drop my Friday Night Mixtapes early! The End of The World (cover) — Sharon Van Etten Oh, I don’t know why this song is earworming me. Honestly! 🙄 But it’s inspired this mixtape! One More Kiss, … Continue reading Friday Night Mixtape 23/10/2020

Sunday Matinee 18/10/2020
Been awhile since I did these. We’re in a lockdown in my state and with the terrifying rise in COVID cases, I’m not going out anywhere apart from removing my stitches in a few days time. Time to watch the ballet. Today’s collection of ballets is inspired by the Royal Ballet’s gala at the Royal … Continue reading Sunday Matinee 18/10/2020
Saturday Soiree 17/10/2020
Leysh Nat’Arak — Natacha Atlas Re-listening to some old favourites. I was big enough a fan of Natacha Atlas that I hopped on a plane from Brisbane to Adelaide to watch her live during the years when I was doing the WOMAD thing every year. (the feature picture is one of the shots I took). … Continue reading Saturday Soiree 17/10/2020
Friday Night Mixtape 16/10/2020
Not quite Friday night, but in preparation for it. One of my favourite “medicinal” personal playlists, with a balance of energies (some additions, some subtractions and obvs I couldn’t include everything). A restorative for me. Hopefully a restorative for whomever needs one. One must needs recalibrate every now and then so the good work can … Continue reading Friday Night Mixtape 16/10/2020
