thunder and lightning...
Was it only in Cardiff there was crazy thunder and lightning last night after a boiling hot day? I tried to take a photo, but wasn't quick enough. And also, decided that holding a metal object above my head with all that lightning probably wasn't a good idea.
Had a lot of brilliant music on the show this week - from Belgian beats to icelandic chauntesses, and Darren Haymans corking five track session - including an old Hefner song, re-worked in a banjo-stylee!
I went to see The Devil and Daniel Johnston, a great film about the singer from Texas. He's been making his own tapes since he was young, and suffered from mental health problems and gained an almost religious following. His music is incredible, and the film is well worth seeing; it's sad, interesting, entertaining and quite beautiful. Also, the mayor of Austin, texas has named this Friday the official Daniel Johnston Day to commememrate the opening of the film!
Well done Rob for running the run last weekend! - i owe you money and Ill get it to you soon innit.
Today is the 25th anniversary of Bob Marley's death. Welsh Reggae legend Geraint Jarman was on my Radio Cymru show last night playing some tunes and talking about his various gigs and projects. He chose an amazing record by Sinead O'Connor - Jah no Dead from her recent roots and reggae album. It was stunning!
Have a good show tonight Vic Galloway!
