Good Morning

Morning Radio

Good morning from sunny if cool Faversham. The national radio stations are back to normal although I have been listening to BBC Radio 6 this morning as it is more Wire mag reader-friendly with Stuart Maconie hosting.

I shall be listening to Jazz Record Requests later on BBC Radio 3 and Classical Fix around midnight.

Why do I not listen to commercial radio you say? Simple. I hate the adverts!

Damon Locks - Black Monument Ensemble - Now

Damon Locks & Black Monument Ensemble’s new album "NOW" was created in the final throes of Summer 2020, following months of pandemic-induced fear & isolation, the explosion of social unrest, struggle & violence in the streets, and as the certain presence of a new reality had fully settled in. Set up safely in the garden behind Chicago’s Experimental Sound Studio, the music was recorded in only a few takes, capturing the first times members of BME had ever played or sang the tunes. For Locks, the impetus was more about getting together to commune and make art than it was about producing an album. In his words: “It was about offering a new thought. It was about resisting the darkness. It was about expressing possibility. It was about asking the question, ‘Since the future has unfolded and taken a new and dangerous shape... what happens NOW?’”
