podcarsed

A slightly melancholic Podcarsed this time around, no doubt influenced by the recent tragic and untimely passing of my main hard drive. As I was plugging it in to back it up before a DJ trip to Sarajevo it failed quite spectacularly and most inconvenien tly. Back up lesson number 1,076 re-learned the hard way.

But worry not, it ain't all teary eyed selections as this episode meanders stoically across dark, sad waters on its intrepid voyage of discovery, barely skimming the surface of some of the more ethereal and sublime recent additions to the Cook musical archive; its vital mission to bring cheer to you, our most distinguished passenger.

Here's my set from the House room at Low Life a few Saturdays back on Halloween night. What a time we had. And after staying up all the way through til the end of Unorthodox/After Life what a cold we had too. It ’s a poor workman that blames his tools, so I’d just like to point out that the train wreck somewhere around the middle of my set was the monitor’s fault entirely. Well, actually it was mine for forgetting to turn the monitor back up after a DJ booth visit from an effusive and highly lubricated reveler; still at least it proves I don’t use Autosync when I’m DJing. Hope you enjoy the Low Life experience; close your and eyes you’re almost there. Now open them.

Welcome to the inaugural podcarsed podcast

Since I've just launched a new monthly Sunday gig and we've got the official after party for Low Life coming up there imminently, I figured my first podcarsed would tie in with that.

Mr Cook's Unorthodox is our new monthly soiree and the idea is to try and steer clear of the ubiquitous House & Disco and do something a bit more oddball and rootsy... so lots of Folk, Rock, Indie, quirky uncategorizable shit and pretty much anything else that takes my or my special guests' fancy.

Here's some stuff that fits the bill:

1. Intro

2. Spirit - Gorn Attack

3. Radiohead - Reckoner (Jonny Miller remix)

4. M.Craft - The Soldier

5. Tunng - Robin

6. Scott 4 - Lefturno

7. Black Uhuru - Big Spliff

8. Holger Czukay - Fragrance (2009 remix)

9. Minutemen - The Cheerleaders

10. Django Django - Love's Dart

11. Donald Fagen - New Frontiers

12. St. Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart

13. Chris & Cosey - October Love Song

14. Wolfmother - New Moon Rising (Fontan remix)

15. Outro

Mr Cook's Unorthodox is the first Sunday of every month at The Stag's Head, 55 Orsman Rd, London N1 5RA

After Life is November 1st 2009 (noon - midnight) with special guests:

Bullion (One Handed Music), DJ Strangefruit (Mungolian Jet Set), Bruce Tantum (East Village Radio NYC),

Rob J (Dropout Boogie/Main Stem), Frank Broughton (Low Life) and yours truly. Entry is free all day.

Enjoy the podcarsed
