Listening to the #GraceJones special on #NtsRadio reminds me that both Grace Jones and #RobertPalmer covered #GaryNuman

In Focus: Grace Jones 15th February 2019

Playing Pop, New Wave, Dub. These days it's commonplace to see artists straddle the worlds of music and fashion, from rappers to producers and songwriters, but Grace Jones did it first, and few since have done it so effortlessly. Born in Jamaica and raised in New York, the supermodel soon became an icon for the city's cutting edge cultural legacy, releasing albums with Island Records that blurred the lines between new-wave, dub, disco, post-punk, & pop, essentially defining 1980s cool. Our latest In Focus is a two hour trip through her sensuous, hybrid discography. This show is currently unavailable in the USA.

I survived the skinheads and other #flagshaggers on the Tube, and made it to New River Studios in Haringay, missing about three bands.

#TheeAlcoholics were great, I was on Bandcamp within two minutes of getting in the venue.

#TheNone are next, #punk I suppose. They have t-shirts.

It turns out that the promoter is also an #NtsRadio DJ who I already follow https://www.nts.live/shows/anthonychalmers

I had quit Spotify long ago and more recently ditched Apple Music because I don't want to support the services that are squeezing the artists.

My replacement consists of two main elements:
1 - FM radio, like our ancestors used to do in when they lived in caves
2 - NTS Radio (https://www.nts.live/)

I'm still procrastinating it, but will subscribe for the perks such as enhanced tracklists. I just wanted to spread the word in case someone is looking for alternatives.

Live radio, and especially radio that focuses on bringing diversity like NTS, is actually pretty refreshing.

DE-PLATFORMING MUSIC CONSUMPTION

Streaming music sucks, but it’s also so convenient and ubiquitous. Having access to music streaming means that any song I want from any era is constantly available.   

What that really means, though, is that choice paralysis freezes me from making any new choices—I effectively spin the same 10 records most of the time.   

A lot of my friends have tried to get off streaming […]

I like the fact that Ross Allen can be on two different radio stations, and isn't restricted from discussing the other station on each

Interesting to hear Don Letts playing #DavidHolmes on #bbc6music . David Holmes' programme on #NtsRadio has been scathing of Donald Trump and the coverup of Epstein - you would never hear it on the BBC.

The DJ David Holmes has his monthly show on #NTSRadio - it's titled "Humanity as an act of Resistance - EPSTEIN CLASS EP2". There's a lot of soundbites about Trump, Epstein, Israel, and Iran that I've not heard before.

Radio is boring this morning. NTS is playing "Death Is Not The End Jugowave & Finnish Punk, 16 Feb 2025" on one of its Infinite Mixtape channels, that will have to do.

Unfortunately there's no tracklist, so I have no idea what's going on.

Oddball post-punk, industrial provocation, and minimal wave.
