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.

ArtFusion – Gibson Street Gala

As part of this year’s Gibson Street Gala, ArtFusion will be populating Westbank Quadrant with over 30 artists’ stalls, murals and sculptures!

All The Young Nudes life drawing club is delighted to be a part of this – We love a chance to showcase our nudes! We’ll have a stall set up all day with sketches available to buy – The selection will feature work created at our Tuesday night drawing club. Anyone who has ever attended the club is invited to exhibit on the stall. Get in touch if you would like to do so.
We’ll have some ATYN sketchpads, badges, stickers and more goodies available to buy on the stall.
See you there!

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.
