Wavelength is broadcast on Resonance 104.4fm, on Fridays at 2:30pm and repeats on Mondays at 5am.Perfect Binding re-launch
Another attempt at shameless self-promotion: My book “Perfect Binding”, edition of 300 copies (too niche for publishers, so self-published by William English Editions; the esteemed outfit previously responsible for “Footprints of Animals Wearing Safety Gear” by Bill Burns). Perfect Binding: Made in Leicester is available from the Advanced Book Exchange for £20 + postage. Today’s programme focusses on characters overlooked in the last ‘launch’ and assumes posthumous musical choices on their behalf. But first a trailer for La Tete Contre Les Murs by Georges Franju (1959), one of my favourite films. Slow Train by Flanders and Swann (Kirby Muxloe reference; Mellors/Troath). Jacques Loussier’s Play Bach No.1 1959 (Peter Josephs). Rachmaninoff; Prelude in G minor op.23 No.5 (Dad). Caterina Valente; Sweetheart, my darling, mijn schat (Mum). Jacques Brel; Amsterdam, live Paris 1964 (John Cramphorn). Misty Gardens by Orin Anderson. Everybody Knows the hungry i by The Monk Brothers.
