Beard Radio 10/12/09



With Gary preparing for ATP, tonight's Beard Radio was co-presented by homeboy Colin. We bring you the FUNK, Dam Funk (pictured below) to be precise, and round things off with some horror disco that sounds like John Carpenter and Juan Atkins together in electric nightmares. We pay tribute to the late great Jack Rose (above) with one of his own tunes, a mesmerising track by Pelt, some old time country blues and some avant-hillbilly from Henry Flynt. Following on from last week's spin of the Sunn O))) epic Alice, we bring you an amazing piece of electronic jazz from the trombonist on that track, Julian Priester aka Pepo Mtoto. Plus a little festive cheer!
