Yma

Born in the Peruvian rainforest, Yma taught herself to sing by mimicking the calls of the local wildlife, eventually developing an unbelievable four (five according to some sources) octave vocal range.

Summer Playlist Bonanza!

Ok, it would appear that I have managed to build up a nice big backlog of playlists to share with you folks. So, without further ado….

Covers!

As promised, here’s last week’s cover versions only playlist!

Desmond

Well, due to the potent combination of some Spotify ‘improvements’ and my laziness there hasn’t been a new playlist post for an age. Time to rectify that with a bumper blog full of past playlists, although perhaps lacking a tad on the entertaining babble front.

Jimi

After a decade without Jimi, listening to Electric Ladyland and Axis: Bold As Love on loop has made it a happy week for my ears.

Kim

Last week saw Sonic Youth’s super talented bass player Kim Gordon turn a scarcely believable 58. I chucked one of my fave Youth tracks into the playlist as a wee tribute to a true musical heroine.

Goatfell

While you folks were all sketching away on Tuesday, I took a wee trip over to Arran to climb Goatfell and top up my sunburn (sometimes factor 30 isn’t enough, even in Scotland).

Spirited Away

And here’s Joanna and I’s sonic selection for ATYN 099. Sorry about the recent tardiness, I’ll be quicker and more productive on the writing front next week!

Miles

Here are the tunes that accompanied ATYN 098, apologies for the delay in providing them. You can give them a spin on Spotify here
