Show 42 – Dobrodosli !!

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

Kranjska Gora, Slovenia (c) G Mason 2003

“Dober Dan, Dober Vecer in Dobrodosli”, as David Frost might have said had he been born a Slovene national ! Feeling rather sad that I can’t afford a holiday again this year, I’m pining for Slovenia and all of my friends over there who I’ve got to know over the years; Ranko, Igor, Klemen, Sylvo, Majda, drinks under the stars at the Krcma II with the lovely female staff…. ahhh, memories ! Union Pivo !! Zlatorog Pivo !! Cynar on ice !! Cooling my hot feet after a day walking in the Julian Alps, sitting by Lake Jasna. Finding mountain huts selling freshly-cooked food and cold drinks at the end of the route.

Can you tell I really adore the place ? To help me relive my memories, tonight I’m bring you a double helping of the finest Slovene rock – and in future shows this summer I’ll be bringing you some other great Slovene musicians to stave off my Slovenia withdrawals !

(apologies for the slight drop-outs in the vocals during my Saturday story – I was acting out the situation and moving too far from the mic !!)


Day Out – Setreseze

A wonderful slab of Eastern European rock, with a chorus which sounds like there’s a Cossack choir doing backing vocals. Brilliant ! It just goes to prove that you don’t need to understand the lyrics to appreciate great rock music. Email the band and I’m sure they can arrange to sell you a CD or a t-shirt !

Bombing Run – At Least
These Scots get everywhere you know… the government, all over TV and now they’re muscling in on the music scene around Bristol with cracking, stomping wodges of catchiness like this track. Fifers – you can take them anywhere !!

Day Out – Y Veter

Buen Chico – Giving Your Gifts
A beauty, a beardy and the one with a scary big hairdo ! You can tell that this trio are going to be the next media darlings with spakingly lovely tracks like this, can’t you ? Well, you heard them here first !!

This week’s Scottish Expression is absent once again – it will return next week – but I do tell you a charming little tale of childhood literacy (almost a certificate 18, too !)
The soundbed is ‘Sunrise’ by torchomatic on the PMN
Three From Leith theme-tune by Alex Aitken

Big props given out to:
Slovenia – for being one of the world’s most beautiful countries
Faith & Hope records – for sending me the fantastic Buen Chico CD and for not being Eastern European fraudsters !!

    Hi Grant – Shame about not being able to visit what looks like a lovely part of the world; certainly beats the searing heat and distinct lack of anything pretty to look at here. I love the show and have just been catching up with the last dozen, so the onus is on me to listen to this show sharpish to get right up to date. If you can play more Stop Starts that would be great. Cheers. Richard (fellow commenteer to Bob & AJ and Top Of The Pods)

    It’s catching on, this use of foreign language titles for podcasts 😉

    Great show as ever, and fancy a lake being named in honour of your graffiti-reading daughter!
