acoustic confushian

confushian — Sun, 26 Nov 2006 16:15:01 GMT

After the rapturous applause for the techno podcast, this weeks broadcast is strictly acoustic, and i manage to play some tracks by the local talent. First up, (after a track by me entitled "Rosa doloraosa") is Ross Galloway from Fru$hane, with what i consider one of his best, the excellent "Hearts in my home", and to finish, the epic "Alive" from Chris Brown. Please forgive the inaccurate punctuation.

technological confushian

confushian — Sun, 19 Nov 2006 10:52:51 GMT

this week, confushian gets hold of some software, and mashes up some wicked beats with fruity loops, before pressing the delete button and getting the ukelele out to show the kids what real music sounds like, all sounds by confushian, (even the loud banging ones). The photo is a reference to the white heat of technology, made famous by turntablist MC Harold Wilson who suprisingly moonlighted as British PM.
