This week I continued to enjoy
the continuing evolution of the flow of music during the show as well as the flow of life. As much as I’d like to admit that I’m progressing and as productive as I’d like, I keep receiving reminders of where I haven’t been and procrastination has been rearing its head a bit more than I’d like. I’m not particularly as against procrastination as much as most, because I’m sure it’s been used a bit too much by those who would like us keep us on the treadmill of life and separated from the natural rhythms which keep us in tune with who we are and where our instinct is directing us. There are definitely times when we should sit back and pause to reflect on where we’ve come from and whether our current pursuits are in tune with our purpose and what makes us happy. What I’ve been realising though is that I’ve been in this mode for rather too long and not making as much use of some extended free time I’ve had the grace to receive recently. This was reflected in my attempts to organise and broadcast an interview with the band One Eyed God that has been in the pipeline for a little bit.
In the absence of the interview I enjoyed playing one of their songs -Infinite Seasons to whet your appetites as well as sharing a couple of old favourites, Strut by Aphradan featuring Jenny Bean which took me back to great memories on the dancefloor many years ago and Turn The Page by The Streets which I found to be a wonderful opening song on his debut album Original Pirate Material and quite an appropriate analogy for shifting up a gear and stepping into a more flowing direction in life. I hope you’re enjoying your respective rides on the roller-coaster!
You can have a listen again to most of the show here:
