Special Fetes


I picked up this tape in a flea market in south Paris a few weekends ago.  Not really sure what song is which or what the song titles are but I was loving this arabic cover of Barbie Girl by Aqua.  I've also included two other tracks just to show what it sounds like.  I thought it was also interesting that one of the tracks, while sounding like typical party music you might hear blaring from a Lebanese restaurant, also has shades of Scottish bagpipe music.

5 year Annivesary radio show!

Having done this blog for five years, I thought it would be a good idea to do something special for the 5th anniversary.  Five years ago in April 2006 I started the blog with this post.  Luckily, the people at the new London Fields radio station invited me to do a new radio show and so here you have a 5 year overview of the good stuff from this blog.
