I'll go between onebeat and the beast if you're ok with that. It'll be mostly acoustic.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited about Chris’s week.

I've enjoyed the first two tracks. I think I'll pop everything onto a Spotify playlist
I'm happy to slide in anytime. It will be more off the top of my head and not meticulously planned

I abandoned Spotify for Apple music. Spotify pays $0.004 per play Apple and Tidal pay $0.01 (more than double Spotify!)

But there are 3 times the song streams/paying subscribers on Spotify than Apple. So it depends how you view the axis of power. I’d suggest an artist ultimately collects a bigger cheque from the Swedes than the Silicon Valley’s

In fact I don’t stream music. I do buy records and t-shirts from bands I like as they get much more money from me that way.

My favourite bands, I buy the music and then stream it as I don't have any way to play CDs or vinyls. Bluegrass musicians don't make much money so I do what I can and, like you Tone, I know a lot of them personally.

I do buy, and play, a lot of digital music as well as physical copies, but I have it saved on several hard drives, rather than streaming.

I’m the same. I’ve not got into streaming. I still buy CDs and load them onto iTunes, topping up by purchasing individual tracks to download. That way things really feel like “my music”, rather than just borrowed.

Wednesday, then.
I promised something a little challenging today and here it is. I doubt many, if any of you, will have heard this before. I’m excited to share this one and very curious how you will all react to it. Stick with it - at one minute 12 it really kicks in..!!
The Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band are basically a mix of traditional Thai instruments and a quality rhythm section. This number is mental… super funky. It’s the track I used to do the ironing to (back before WFH). It gets me dancing round the living room.
Turn up the bass, turn up the volume (it won’t sound great on your phone speaker) and let me know what you think…

In a weird way it reminded me of some of the odd things the Damned would have on their albums, in the early 1980s, between all the usual punky nonsense.

I liked it, I wanted the rhythm section to be heavier though… But it was good.
gonna be interesting coming after Chris, I think I might be a mixture of him and tone… Plus me!

I obviously will be up for this. Featuring some Southampton bands too.

I like that song 300. It shows how folk music has common strands all around the world, including with punk, which is after all a form of folk music. There have been some Bluegrass collaborations with Chinese folk music, which have gone well. And there are now some Indian/Bluegrass fusion bands.
