Playlist 247 - Dec 11 2012
Last show of the year, featuring a few more Christmas pieces and a few more of my Best of 2012 choices.
I was all set for a great segue, from ‘Cheer up Charlie’ (from the film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, which is of course de facto Christmas music), on into Mumblin Deaf Ro’s brilliant almost-riposte ‘Cheer up Charlie Brown’, but I almost fucked it up. I forgot to bring the former with me and just about managed to pull it off via a crackly youtube link.
We also had the incomparable Dylan Thomas reading his own ‘A child’s Christmas in Wales’, a peerless piece of writing and delivery, followed by John Cale’s song of the same name to finish the show.
The Spook of the Thirteenth Lock, Jherek Bischoff, AU, Hidden Highways and Sone Institute all helped to make 2012 great musically, for me. There’s also new music from (The) Caseworker, Cat Power and Seb Rochford & friends, in the latest of the Days & Nights at the Takeaway series.
And one of my favourite Cork bands, The Great Balloon Race , with a beautiful piece of drifting psych pop from their just released debut album. More on most of the above in these pages.

The version of the John Cale song on the show was taken from the live album Fragments of a rainy season. Here's another more expansive live version, with a great semi-improv sounding intro, from 1983 in Hamburg.
