^Good point. That seems to happen from time to time with listings on the website. Don't know why.

What a sublime selection of songs. No great surprises but none the worse for that. Alison had highlighted Yma Sumac on a radio show a few years ago - can't remember which one - and it was the first time I'd heard of her.

The first hour had a dreamy, shimmering vibe that was just perfect for a Sunday afternoon in summer. The second hour had more upbeat tunes featuring many of my favourite artists too. I've got 13 of the songs she played and other songs by most of the other artists she featured. I expect it'll be much the same with most people.

The programme trailers that popped up really jarred so at some point, I'm going to edit these out of the recording I make and will try to share this if people want.

I remember some of these songs being played in the 'Now Playing' show hosted by Tom Robinson on 1st September last year. That was the one we contributed to. Francoise Hardy, Nick Drake & Leonard Cohen - same songs then. That show also featured other songs by Nico, Prince, Cocteau Twins, Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood. You can see the trackinglisting at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b039hvd1
In fact, doing a search reveals that there's an MP3 of this still available via a dropbox link (Carpy's I presume). Nice to hear it again. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/71438256/#Goldfrapp6Music - Goldfrapp Tweet In.mp3

In my excitement I forgot to log off and have been signed in for the past 12 hours. Yes, thank you Carpy for recording it. It's definitely something people are going to want to revisit. Presently listening to Sundown Sundown again, it's all so good.

omg dear lord is there a link to this, a mp3? Birthday is just starting...

I have albums by 16 of those artists/bands so it looks like she's been rifling through my record collection :D

haha, yes me too. though it makes sense to me that we have similar tastes really. 

12 for me ;)

a most enjoyable show

i recall reading an explanation bjork gave that it was a kind of lolita-esque relationship, between a little girl and an old man. i want to say it was just a weird friendship with no actual abuse going on but i read about it a long time ago so i might be misremembering?

ok heres what wikipedia says:
"It's a story
about a love affair between a five year old girl, a secret and a man who
lives next door..."

"... It's like huge men, about
fifty or so, affect little girls very erotically but nothing happens...
nothing is done, just this very strong feeling. I picked on this subject
to show that anything can affect you erotically; material, a tree,
anything."

so there you are i guess

also! thanks for providing an mp3 carpy, much appreciated :3

Carpy, you are fantastic. xxx

I must say, that I'm shocked silly that no one picked, "Funky Town" by "Lips Inc.!" And don't give this shit that you never heard it before, I know all of you have but you didn't list it!
