The Arts Desk Radio Show 3

Joe Muggs and Peter Culshaw discuss music ancient and modern

by Joe MuggsTuesday, 29 May 2012

Neneh Cherry: returning to jazz-punk?

After a double set of live studio guests in our last show, it's just Joe and Peter this time, and thus a lot more music and discussion. Our intrepid explorers ponder whether there's anything new under the sun, looking at new-sounding folk and old-sounding electronica, angry British hip hop, Swedish jazz-punk, Mexican boutique hotels, murder blues and Crowley-referencing ambient music.

There's an exclusive live recording of an acid folk band covering an acid house classic, a broad selection of sound due to come out in the next month or two, and a donkey joke from Peter that's not to be missed. Thanks once again to Red Bull Studios and Brendon Harding for recording and editing the show.
