BBC R3 - Hannah Peel - Night Tracks - 10PM




Holy Viennese Pastries. I've only just discovered Hannah Peel's Night Tracks on BBC Radio 3. I post a lot of new Dance Music here from religious listening to a roster of BBC R1D DJs but that's because I love dancing or rather some of the best times of my life were years on end dancing in nightclubs. However, I've been restless of late. I like to listen to BBC Radio 3 when I'm reading but by some trick of the universe, I've only just discovered Hannah's broadcast at 10pm which is often a blend of classical and electronica of which she's also an artist herself.

Radio 3 is a both a thousand years old and bang up to date. I'm going to amend my BBC Women in Electronica post right now that was triggered by Olive's - You're not alone track, which is fitting, and I now have all the archive sessions (going back to September 2019) to listen to which will probably keep me going till the end of my days catching up.

I do slag off the BBC, but that's their news division propaganda. There's absolutely world class content produced by the still venerable institution if a person is selective and it's completely free, although I'd have no issue at all bunging them a donation now and again by Paypal to keep the good ship going.

可愛さ (Kawaii)



I have a theory about the Japanese and technology. I believe that as they were (and still are the only people to be) on the receiving end of atomic/nuclear technological warfare, that they shed their Samurai traditions and embraced technology with a fervour that is drenched in Kawaii cuteness but is ostensibly, an all out potential pursuit of revenge. Well it's either that or they're just really 'into it', though I urge you to read a little into the history of Astro Boy before you dismiss my thinking on the subject.
