Snowy came by the Music Box sweatbox studio last Sunday. Here's the mix.

Think @cornelius_blackfoot is going to take the next one, possibly Joe Garcia (think he has a new name here?) soon too.

To other people who want to explore their collection on air: Let me know if you want to come down later in the summer or later, first Sunday monthly 1-3pm, studio is in Smithfield. Cheers

First hour looks like this:

Pat Metheny Group - This is Not America (inst)
Air - Modular Mix
Depeche Mode - Further Excerpts From My Secret Garden
Sandoz - King Dread
Suns Of Arqa (feat. John Cooper Clarke) - The Truth Lies Therein
Oracle Sound - Birthday Dub
While My Sequencer Gently Weeps - Emotional Ice Cream (version)
Trevor Bastow - Integration
Alexander O'Neal - The Lovers (Instrumental)
A Certain Ratio - Sounds Like Something Dirty
The Impossible Dreamers - Spin (The Cosmologist 2023 Drums in Space Reconstruction)
Pigbag - Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag (12" extended mix)
Beloved - The Sun Rising (Gentle Night)

I put on a little interlude version of Beloved at the end, thinking I was out of time. Doh. Coulda played the full mix.

@snowy_again 's Mix commmences around 57" 40". Some really lovely things in there! i look forward to learning what the track around 1h31' is, after Aphrodisiac 'Your Love'.

So a funny thing happened when we were 'on air'... the mixcloud audio & camera feed is uploaded live by 'The Tower', one of the computers at the station. Around the time i handed over to Snowy, there was a huge thunderclap (that we heard over the monitors, in the soundproofed studio, in a basement). And the tower switched itself off! Studio guy Dave was going apeshit (remotely helping with the idents, recording, changeovers etc). Later when it was back up Dave tells me we had at that point more people tuned in than the show has ever had, just shy of 200. Bollocks that it cut off. Anyway, we'd appreciate if you gave the show archived recording a play. x

Thanks Skully, always great fun even if that room is a sweaty mess. Track listing:

I'm Still In Love With You - The Aggrovators
Idol Eyes – Common Saints
Vitamin C – Can
Beatzeps - Jaslopski
It's Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next To Me – Barry White
Turn It Up (US Mix) - Conway Brothers
Your Love – Aphrodisiac
Backtracking – Trevino
Can You Feel It – Mr Fingers
My World - Farley Jackmaster Funk
Marshall – Palace Tracks
Work It – Chicago Music Syndrome
Lost Acapellas
Florida (Move Your Feet) – Paul Sharada

I must remember to clean my records more often.

That one after Your Love is this:

I love this thread so much!

We love you too! Do you dabble? Wanna come down and do an hour?

I think @cornelius_blackfoot is coming down for the next one 🤞

Woah! just seen how much that Backtracking is going for! £75 from a UK seller with torn sleeve 🤦🏻

Ha, I didn't pay anything like that for it. They pop up on discogs every now and then at £20 ish, usually outside the UK though.

Listening to the show with Snowy now...brilliant.

:) Can't figure out why I started with a 'last tune' tune. Think it made sense with whatever the previous show had been rocking.

And half of my bag was first tunes, which is why what was meant to be chilled Sunday lunch time didn't quite come out that way.

A quick bump to say @cornelius_blackfoot will be joining me on the Bright Times Dark Times show at 1pm this Sunday. Please join us if you can, you can log in to the mixcloud chat if you have an account for shouts / abuse. We'd love that. I gather the sound is a bit better qual on the musicboxradio.co.uk player, if you can figure out how to run that sound and run the Mixcloud feed muted.

Nice one everybody. I will try and join this Sunday.

👍

Hope to catch this one

Hats and glasses on indoors: https://m.mixcloud.com/live/MusicBoxRadioUK/

Made a boo boo when I pushed the wrong button on my deck and ended a song I love too early. Hope it wasn’t too distracting/irritating. If you were watching the live stream you know when it happened..

Great show, thanks to both of you.

hahah

Cheers!

Link to the last Bright Times Dark Times here, featuring an excellent mix by @cornelius_blackfoot in the second hour

Listened back to this and boo boo wasn’t as heinous as it sounded at the time.
Will have a track listing up when I’m back to my laptop..

It's amazing how fine things that seem awful at the time usually are.
