DJ Readman History of Record Shop Series and More

First time at the Flapper, nice venue, no where to breathe although, unless someone knocks a hole in the wall. Simular to The Cellar in Oxford. Four acts were on, only heard Among the Echos. I had did receieve music from all the bands, but live, of course, is different. Saturday Afternoon Got to the newly refirbished, New Street Station. We took the long walk to the Bullring, which is now connected by a long corridor. My wife, Rhonda was with me, as she likes Birmingham and a fan of Among the Echos. Although i like the act, i was looking forward to seeing the other bands as well. We stayed at the Holiday Inn, which is not that far. After a few hours relaxing, we walked to the Flapper. One thing that irritates me about this area of the city, is there are no direct paths. Yes, there are pavements, but you have to walk the long way round in many cases, even though another hotel carpark. The Flapper Very nice place, right beside the canal with loads of locks. From the outside, looks...

History in the making, and yes, this time, that is accurate. Naked Lunch, release this bone chilling tune, Alone, on a global scale on the 23rd August. Haunting, ghostly sounds. Opening with Engima sounding pipes, which introduces the haunting voice of Tony Mayo.  Opening the doors to reveal, the whispery vocals of Jet Noir for the first time. Alone, has a unique deep sound. There are many levels of the song, like going into the mind psychie. This will ofcourse might remind you of other sounds, there is no escaping that. It reminded me of early Underworld and Enigma.  Unlike their previous release, this tune has gone down the synth electro route. Great bassline and a beat so sharpe it could cut you, like railroad spike.  Very atmosphere,  very deep and interwoven with guitar sounds. As Jet said, " So lonely". First vocal performance from Jet Noir with Naked Lunch and its definitely not the last DJ Readman    Radio Variety Show djreadmanuk@gmail.co...

I say, Radio Variety Show, my show has not always been called that. It took me four years to get the name right,lol For any new people that read this, i used to be  two deck DJ. Thats how i started on net radio.  When i found and joined Music World Radio in 2008, i was on decks and mp3s wered not really around much. At the time i wanted to use the decks to broadcast a variety of styles and sounds and every now and again do a mix.  Over time, as things do, you get ideas and the show changed. Slowly over time, i got sent music, some on CD, on vinyl, which was pretty cool, but it gradually went mainly digital. I am not the only one broadcasting on radio, but in my opinion, many people do not realise the build up you have to do over time.  Broadcasting is like working in pub, people come and go or stay for the whole 2 hour show. People expect too much when they DJ, you got to build it up I have always loved music.  My mission is part educate people, ...
