Episode 72 - So Many Smiths Covers

I think most of my generation had a Smiths phase growing up.  There is always that one song that resonates most with you.  Over the years, I have amasses a lot of tribute albums, and random covers from hundreds of bands, and put together my favorite Smiths covers here.  Starting with the faster and harder ones, and ending with some nice light takes on this wonderful music.

Episode 71 - That Alone is the Pursuit of Life

A style olio.   Variety is the spice of life, I've heard.  This journey is cohesive enough to bring much joy on a day like this.  Starting with some exotica that everyone should recognize, then touring the middle east and back through Europe before hitting a beatnik inspired toon from a crooner.  Transitioning into my favorite Sugarcubes song, enhanced by the Reid brothers to great effect.  Then alternative rock country with a great take on My Bloody Valentine, followed by some interesting and appealing electronica and remixes.  Then Tori doing a classic 80's tune in her inimitable style, and ending with some of the Velvets doing a more country styled version and another of those great Bjork covers by a fellow Icelander.  Lots to digest and all worth the price of admission.

Episode 70 - Nový Svět - pt1 Stupefacente!

I fell in love with Novy Svet the first time I heard them, and again with every subsequent release I came across.  They came across my path via CDr swapping over two decades ago, and I had requested some rarities (aren't they all) from the group Mirror, and I recieved a handful of EPs and an album or two from Novy Svet.  While nothing like Mirror, I just knew I was on to something completely unique. 

As their Discog's profile correctly states, "The group is neither tied to any musical style nor to any language."  

The industrial, cabaret, neofolk, ambient, absolutely bonkers music was so refreshing to me.  I spent countless hours and lots of money tracking down their releases.  I found such interesting labels like Old Europa Cafe, Klanggalerie, Hau Ruck, Achtung Baby!, Nekofutschata, Punch, Treue Um Treue/Reue Um Reue.  

The greatest is still their collaboration with martial pop artist Derniere Volonte (both sides of that 7" featured here).  I've included appearances by J. Weber (half of Novy Svet with Frl. Tost) in the groups Mushroom's Patience, Unidad Sasao and O Paradis.

Episode 68 - Attachment Disorder

A lot of this music stems from the Trance Europe Express and Wire Tapper compilation series which introduced or enhanced my appreciation of so many artists.  The bookend Orbital tracks are still my favorites from them, as is their peel session which blends these two together.  The rest is a nice mixture of rarities, b-sides, and just some fun trancey electronica.  Ended with my favorite album closer, from the Fred (former Psychic TV member) remix EP.
