Howdy folks. Here’s our tribute to Sly Stone, who passed away a couple of weeks ago. It’s a bit late but that’s due to reasons that are lost to the midsts of time/are too boring to bring up.

We’ve picked some of the hits and some of the (many) songs that sampled him over the years. It’s made with love, despite how ramshackle and under-researched links are. We say in the show, if you wanna know more about the man, you should checkout Questlove’s doc, Sly Lives!

As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!

Sunday’s show, finally uploaded for your listening enjoyment. Fresh from our adventure in Chesterfield, 2 hours of pretty decent music. No theme this week. Just the two of us picking a bunch of songs from our “To Play” folder(s).

The next show is a bit up in the air as we were tempted to make a Sly Stone Tribute Show but honestly, that just feels like a lot of hard work and we won’t be able to do it justice.

Morning all. Hope you’re all having a good week. We hadn’t realised the show hadn’t been uploaded. We’ve been too busy with birthday planning, birthday celebrations and looking at 45s we don’t need but need.

Anyway, enough of the excuses. Here it is. It’s standard fayre. High energy hour one. Low(er) energy hour two.

Hopefully we’ll be back on Sunday. We haven’t really go a choice thanks to how the shows fall and that bl00dy chicken special in July that’s rapidly approaching.
