bespoke

the final in this series of 1 hour of music in 20 minutes bespoke is up on abc dig now.

bespoke is a tribute to some of my favourite songs that are favourites because of their lyrics. i noticed a few trends in my own playlists when it comes to adding spoken/wordy songs. they're funny, odd, poetic, beautiful, silly, insightful and delightful.

tracks in this 1in20 are as follows:
(track/artist/album)
gas daddy gas/tobin sprout/carnival boy
everybody knows/leonard cohen/i'm your man
what's he building?/tom waits/mule variations
take 5, d/minutemen/double nickels on the dime
old red eyes is back/the beautiful south/898
when i win the lottery/camper van beethoven/key lime pie
if i had $1,000,000/the barenaked ladies/gordon
the young lutheran's guide to the orchestra/garrison keillor/lake woebegon loyalty days
new math/tom lehrer/the remains of...
the east river/jeffrey lewis/the last time i did acid i went insane
bruces philosophers' song/monty python/the ultimate
my pink half of the drainpipe/bonzo dog do dah band/cornology
fifteen/baterz/the yellow corduroy ep
bowie/flight of the conchords/folk the world
the remix/demetri martin/these are jokes
ideology/billy bragg/talking with the taxman about poetry
from little things big things grow/paul kelly/best of

and this is the last because things are changing in the digital radio world as well as in my little life. i will keep an eye out for opportunities to share music that i love with people who want to know what that might be. i never assumed that i had any more 'right' to select music than anyone else. i just love it. if you love it, then i love you.

if you've enjoyed any or all of 1 hour of music in 20 minutes - then i sincerely thank you for listening and wish you all the best!

yours in music,
