The show: Laid back

We’ve got colds. So the less we talk, the less chance of us spreading our germs, and you catching our colds.

Or in classic radio parlance: less talk, more music. Shocking we know.

And here’s the playlist in full…

A Little Light Reading

It’s been almost a year since Plan B magazine folded but there is now an  free online archive available, comprising all 46 back issues in PDF format. You can download the torrent here.

And if you’re after something to fill the gap left by Plan B, The Joint recommends a combination of Yeti and Stool Pigeon.

The show: Guest star Shannon Aston

Shannon Aston - DJing the night away in Seoul, South Korea

Shannon Aston, former Hauswerk host (predecessor of Kool & Stuie), joined us on the show today. Shannon left RDU over 4 years ago for the sunny climes of Seoul, South Korea where he teaches English, DJs, and uses it as a base for his surfing adventures.

Shannon has always had a penchant for the soulful and slo-mo side of things disco and kept us entertained with a very nice selection of tunes. If you want more then have a listen to his mixes on Soundcloud.

Total (Failure To) Recall

During the course of last week’s show Fraserhead failed to recall anybody releasing anything on 4AD records in the last 20 years. Worse still, The Herb Whisperer failed to recall the name of the band who had released something on 4AD records just last year (The Big Pink was the name he was stretching for).

To help out, Greg Dodds sent an e-mail to us with a link to a free 2009 sampler from 4AD, featuring The Big Pink and 11 other artists, including Joint favourites Camera Obscura and tUnE-YarDs.

We ♥ Keytars & Violins

Leighton Jones’ excellent Keytars & Violins MP3 blog is my usual starting point when I put together my part of The Joint playlist every week. The brilliant selections of deep techno, deep house, retro disco, and old synth action – mostly from artists and labels I possibly never would have discovered on my own – keep me going back for more.

As well as posting tracks Leighton also posts delicious mixes full of hypnotic tech-house. Perfect stuff for long plane and train rides. Last year I contacted Leighton and asked him if he would like to put together a mix for The Joint. To our delight he was keen to oblige and we played the mix on our 16 January 2010 show.
