I’m off travelling for the next few weeks – although I’ll still be on air with a brand new show every Friday. I’m currently in Sesriem in Namibia, looking out at the endless desert.
I was hoping to travel to Kolmanskop while I was here, but it’s too far out of the way (and a lot of the roads have been knacked by the recent rains too which makes a lot of travelling difficult). Kolmanskop is a former mining town which is now abandoned and is currently being reclaimed by the desert.
Tame Impala used an image from the town on their 2020 top 3 album The Slow Rush, so we started tonight’s show with a track from that.
