Eyes Wide Open – Musical Meanderings 19th March 2013

It was back to the meandering selection tonight as I was back on my own.  Even though I’m coming to prefer my conversations and connections with guests, I really enjoyed diving into a selection of music, including some new songs recommended by friends. I got back into some Joy Division vibes recently and it was great to play Atmosphere, then Therapy?’s rendition of Isolation. Then it was a great highlight to play a song recommended by Felipe Bricknell from Herida this week by a band called Aztlan Underground. They’re a rap/rock band from Los Angeles and they really speak on behalf of the indigenous peoples, especially the Nahua in Mexico. I played Moztlitta by them and it’s completely sung in the native language Nahuatl. After that I couldn’t resist playing another band from LA, Downset, who I had great memories seeing play in the early 90s and they can also be relied upon to express powerful thoughts and emotions in their words. Tonight I played Eyes Shut Tight which brought to mind the current and latest financial crisis, this time in Cyprus and it’s now clear that a lot more people are waking up and opening their eyes to what is happening to them and the whole picture of the system that’s being imposed on us.

Then I treated myself to a little celebration of some nice vibes last week and this. I enjoyed catching up with friends’ birthday and engagement party celebrations so I enjoyed  continuing the vibe with the song Wretches and Kings by Linkin Park, which was recommended by my friends Matt and Vicky as I hadn’t kept up to date with many bands from the ‘Nu-Metal’ scene. Then of course Birthday Party by Grandmaster Flash was great way to continue celebrating! It was great to be joined by them and a few others on the chat room during the show for a mini reunion.

Into the second hour I shifted a meander back down the psychedelic route with more rocking songs I’ve been enjoying recently.
