Balonius presents (Volume Two) Trinidad: The Wining Must Never Stop

Balonius presents (Volume Two) Trinidad: The Wining Must Never Stop:

They say that if a Jamaican, a Bajan and a Trinidadian all had massive heart attacks, the Jamaican and the Bajan would drop dead on the ground, but the Trinidadian would wine her way down.

I recently returned from Carnival in Trinidad, where the ubiquitous, loud and relentlessly uptempo pulse of the Soca beat was utterly unavoidable and, fortunately, quite embraceable. My connoisseurship of tropical rhythms extends mainly to Jamaica, Cuba and Brazil and my previous knowledge of Soca was limited mainly to the usual “Feeling hot! hot! hot!” jams, so I did some poking around the annals of Calypso and Soca and this podcast is the result. There is no shortage of “mindless” exhortations to party and dance, but there are some nice bits of social and political commentary to be found here, too.

OK, so maybe you’re not at a non-stop party in a tropical climate but, at the very least, this podcast might make your housecleaning chores more endurable than you’d ever dreamed possible

And The Wind Cries Furry:

“As a body, everyone is always single. As a soul, never.” - Herman Hesse

Centuries of domestic torpor - so-called evolution - have calcified what Jung called the “shadow aspect” of our collective unconscious, blinding us to our primal instincts. This video reimagines our archaic remnants - those spaces from which our aggressively-follicled ancestors call to us - as we warm our anima by the crackling fires of the all-extensive world-soul.

Balonius presents (Volume One) Brazil: Tip of the Iceberg

Balonius presents (Volume One) Brazil: Tip of the Iceberg:

This is my first podcast. In fact, it’s a live recording of a DJ set I played two nights ago where, for the first time in my DJing career, I played a set entirely consisting of some of my all-time favourite tracks from Brazil of (roughly) the 1970s. I’m glad I captured it. There are no fancy tricks here, just great, great tunes, back-to-back. (I wish I could present it at minimum 320kbps but this account has limits…for now.)
