Tuesday Sep 12, 2023
Tuesday Sep 12, 2023
Our first group episode since RSD, back in April. Sadly, no Ness or Owen, but the Fab Four were in fine form. Some book chat, Matt's Cookery Corner and an extra-long "Medley Of The Departed"! All the usual GB&R hijinks - a perfect end-of-summer companion.

Our second mini-episode - this one runs about 45 minutes. Malcolm discusses his theory that the rock-n-roll of the 1950s and early 1960s was a direct influence on the hard rock and heavy metal of the 1970s. It's gonna get loud!

We got together for our annual Record Store Day shindig - bought some LPs, ate some food and then hit the pub. A few beers later, here's the result. Book chat, music and even history lessons, courtesy of Prof. Matt! Check this out, then fire up your turntable and give your fave LP a spin!

March 2023 Mix - Dozy Takes A Trip (a.k.a. Cake Out In The Rain)
Friday Apr 07, 2023
Friday Apr 07, 2023
I recently read Rob Chapman's "Psychedelia And Other Colours" and in it, he mentions this mix. It was originally a feature in MOJO Magazine, in their "Home Taping" section. I managed to find the tracklist online and found all of the tunes. So, here it is, a synthetic side of late 60s/early 70s psychedelia. It'll show you that you're everywhere and get you home for tea.

Monday Mar 06, 2023
Monday Mar 06, 2023
Here's a new feature we thought we'd roll out - a short discussion on one particular track. For the first one, it's The Beatles' psychedelic pop classic, "Strawberry Fields Forever", released in February 1967. It's just Malcolm and Sean, talking about the lyrics, John Lennon's LSD perception and 'toytown psych'. Let us take you down...

Saturday Feb 11, 2023
Saturday Feb 11, 2023
We finally got round to our second X-Mas episode - yeah, it's a bit late for holiday cheer, but you can consider it early for next X-Mas. No book chat this time around, it's mean and lean - just "Sprout Or Santa" and cookery chat. Ho Ho Ho!

We're back! After a couple of months' respite - it was time to fire up the glory of GB&R once again. No theme for this one - just the usual book chat and choons....plus, added food preparation tips. Don't say we never gave you anything...enjoy!

September 2022 Mix - Vinyl Williams’ ”Dream Jungle” Reconstructed
Wednesday Oct 19, 2022
Wednesday Oct 19, 2022
I tried to find this mix online, to listen to, and couldn't locate it, so I dug up all the tracks and re-created it. The cross-fades and segues are all mine, as I don't know how the original mix sounded. Check out Vinyl Williams' releases here: https://vinylwilliams.bandcamp.com/

Sunday Aug 14, 2022

We decided to shake things up a bit from our usual Western pop and rock and journey to Africa for a selection of tunes. There is a small detour to Denmark, but other than that, it's all African, baby!
