This week I revisited some long not played artists in twos. With half an eye on Soulfly’s visit to The Black Sabbath event at Hyde Park in July, I enjoyed playing a song from Prophecy once again. Then I spoke a bit of the disparity between the information we receive and what is happening around us, which led to a nice revisit to Sepultura after too long. Along the same topic I thought it would be great to play a couple of songs from Bruce Springsteen who does more than most to highlight the disparity between the haves and have nots and what we hear about them. I played a live version of The Ghost of Tom Joad which featured Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine, who kicked off the show.
Also in the doubles was Spiritualized, one of my favourite British bands of the 90s and I enjoyed hearing their recent Sweet Heart, Sweet Light album, along with heralding some wonderful new good weather with Lay Back In The Sun.
I rocked into this weeks electronic vibes with some fantastic acid techno from MK303, then recent music by the likes of Archaic and Digitalian. You can hear it all again here:
