Show 269 – Counting Down The Days

Listen here or use the player on the right, though I’d love you to subscribe !

Well, by the time you listen to this it’ll be 8 more working days until I’m off work on holiday until 2013 – as the title says, I’m counting down the days. It’ll also be my 3rd last day working for my current employer, exactly 20 years and 6 months since I started. How time flies! There were no such things as iPods or podcasts back then, but there was – and still is – an abundance of fine, independent music. Enjoy, then, another fine selection of the best there is.

Nine Lies – Tragedy

Russian Gun Dogs – Dresden

Argonauts – Monet / Touch Electric

The soundbed was ‘Hotel Madras (Inevitable Remix)’ by All India Radio

Time to slow the pace down a little, and mellow down as the show goes on. Of course, this would be spoiled by my blethering, so this week is a special laid-back mixtape. Enjoy!
