- brand-new authentic 90's #DnB

- #Punk for gardeners
- #shoegaze #grunge
There is #CreativeCommons licensed music in it, and of course there are #FediArtists featured, like @wroong (well â ok, this time just him, as far as I am aware).

Settle back in that comfy chair, get pumped up to the ceiling, and enjoy two hours of #ThePlaylist while getting your hair did, for the theme this week is:
Haaair
We thought about just playing the original Broadway cast recording of the musical âHairâ, but instead decided to once again take suggestions from the Eternal Angies out there, who stepped up and suggested another raft of utter bangers.

En un par de meses la radio cumple 5 años y querĂa cambiar la cuña o cortina principal.
Para quien le guste la idea de colaborar con su voz grabada, el texto dice:
«PipĂ CucĂș, mĂșsica para orejas curiosas».
Para grabar el audio procuren que no haya otros sonidos cercanos. Si, como otras veces, quieren enviarme varias versiones, yo encantado.
ÂĄGracias!

Cette semaine est diffusé le premier épisode d'une histoire pas drÎle, mais puissante !
Je vous laisse la découvrir ici :
https://www.radioecclesia.com/static/upload/2025/07/20250718164903.mp3
C'est l'histoire de la deuxiÚme femme d'un laboureur, d'une stérile, d'une de celles qui ne sont rien : Anne.
Anne, c'est une femme mythique qui subit l'humiliation du patriarcat et qui, un jour, relĂšve la tĂȘte et fait face. Avec les consĂ©quences que cela implique.
Cet épisode, inspiré par le livre de Samuel, est enregistré par Radio 16 et Radio Ecclesia.
Trigger warning : stérilité, humiliation, séparation des enfants.
Image :BNF. Cote : Grec 139, Folio 428v.,
Music by Michael Gordon, Nathan Hudson, Andile Khumalo, Leilehua Lanzilotti, Paula Matthusen & Adam Mirza - featuring Splinter Reeds, Unheard-of//Ensemble and more - on Not Brahms and Liszt Monday (10/14/24) 4-5:30pm ET on WMBR Cambridge 88.1 FM streaming https://wmbr.org

Put on your dancin' shoes, and behold as #ThePlaylist sashays over to you and throws you about in the most extraordinary rumba, for the theme this week is:
Weâre in the mood for dancing
Many folks are heading out to christmas parties, where theyâll be cutting the rug with reckless abandon, so weâre taking the opportunity to celebrate all things dance. So two hours of dance floor fillers, and well, dancefloor emptiers, if weâre honest. But two hours of stone-cold bangers nonetheless.

Listen! Dance! Enjoy! Tell all your friends!

Look no further (also because this is more like a full blown blog article than a short announcement)...
as there is:
RADIO IRRTUM! Special: Spoken Words in Music
(on air from Berlin)
âââ This is the English language announcement âââ
Da next issue of #RadioIrrtum! will air this Saturday, 2025/12/20, 8:00pm UTC+1, Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz / DAB+ K7D around #Berlin + worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .
Last time on FM air waves, as civic stations in Germany are banned from using "UKW" starting 2026. Because everyone has nice sustainable DAB+ radio receivers nowadays. Right? RIGHT??
#Radio Irrtum! usually is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music all over this planet's genre spectrum. Don't worry about that #GermanLanguage - it's all about the #music!
But this time it's different! It will be a Special. About Spoken Words in music. That is, because I think Xmas - among other things - should also be about listening. To each other. To stories. Or like in this case to stories told within a musical construct.
While doing my research for this, something became quite apparent: #SpokenWords in music, beside it's powerful materializations in various genres, doesn't seem to be much of a topic in music science or music journalism â despite the lasting emotional impact that all the better pieces of Spoken Words music are able to inflict.
I.e. I couldn't find a simple historical timeline here. What are the roots? I have only one hour, so I cannot provide any deep dive, just a simplified overview. The time line of this show will range from 1966 until 2025, spoken words, 40% in German language, 60% English language.
Even if you d don't speek German: This combination of words and music will give you a sense about what's going on. This may be the only "genre" in music that will carry the emotions of the words over into your soul.
Covering music styles like
- #WordJazz from 1966
- #GermanRap from 2025
- UK #RetroAcid from the 2010ths
- #ExperimentalPop from the 80s + 90s
- 80s #IndustrialMusic
- #EastGerman Cassette-Underground
- UK Trash #ElektroPunk from the 2010ths
- German Experimental #EasyListening from the 2000s
Some of this couldn't be found on Spotify, despite being all iconic tracks. And most of those tracks happen to be my absolute all time favorits btw.
Consider this a little acoustic Xmas gift :)
If at least a bit interested in kewl unusual #music, tune in! đ»
Got questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask here!
Playlist + manuscript after the show also here.
CU all (?) on Saturday.

Found this program by a Blind developer. Flux. Has an interface for Audio Vault too, but I mainly use the accessible internet radio because it presents a desktop interface to all these web services and that's something I love! It has other interfaces for YouTube and Spotify, etc. https://ims-productions.com/flux #Software #InternetRadio #Radio #YouTube #Spotify

Once more, #ThePlaylist takes up its place, triumphant upon its radio plinth, ready to be admired by all the Slack Tanyas who might cast their gaze upon it. See its plumage and be awed.
The theme this week was: Food & Drink

ROLL UP ROLL UP for this week's edition of #ThePlaylist, and the final show of the year!
Our theme this week:
The Twelve Days of Christmas
And yeah, you lot have dug deep and managed to rustle up a whole bunch of songs that are almost about the things from the song. Almost. And a quick look down the running order tells me that only two of the tunes in our massive record bag are Christmas songs. So that could well be a bonus for you.

A periodic reminder that there is an email list for my modern classical radio program.
Each week I sent out a *single* email with links to information about the week's show, plus a link to the high quality audio for the show.
(It's a link on https://samply.app/ If you have good internet bandwidth, you can even get lossless quality. But the default is great.)
