This programme starts with two tracks from Blowing Stones by Jam Money, a new vinyl LP sent to me by Mat Fowler and Kevin Cormack, their latest release on Spillage Fete Records. Then the Shahid Quartet’s invitation to Black Power from the CD Listen Whitey! Suspended closure, suspended, by Jimmy Robert which starts out as spoken word and ends with singing by Gert Hohmann (2009). Eldridge Cleaver distancing himself from Timothy Leary, his house guest in Algeria (Listen Whitey!). H-Town K H-Town by Karl Holmqvist, a strangely hypnotic spoken word LP on the White Columns label which sounds like it was recorded backwards (?) (the flip side of this was played last week). Then Roy Harper sings I Hate the White Man, recorded live in 1969 at Les Cousins Folk Cellar in Soho. Last, sounds from Honey-Suckle Company and Konrad Sprenger from the artists’ record Non Est Hit (2006).
