Mikey reckons this weeks genre is a little too slow for his frequency but Dr. Kirsten Zemke is into it. British Lover's Rock features Lousia Marks Caught You In a Lie, Janet Kay's Silly Games, and The Investigator's Baby I'm Yours. Sway along with us to these saucy numbers.
Dr. Kirsten Zemke gets sidetracked with recent conversations about banning Michael Jackson, giving Mikey her thoughts on the matter. And afterwards, getting stuck into some Mexican Surf Punk, featuring on TELEKRIMEN's Mutantes, Sr. Bikini's Fuera Ropa, and Los Elasticos's Blue Sunday.
Yacht Rock. The songs speak for themselves, Steely Dan's Peg, Players Baby Come Back and Daryl Hall & John Oates Kiss on My List. Dr. Kirsten Zemke has given Travelling Tunes life again as we dive into the weird and wonderful world of genre.
Have you ever heard of the Hang drum? Dr. Kirsten Zemke reunites with 95bFM Breakfast with morning with an instrument she describes as 'new age'. Featuring in Portico Quartet's Prickly Pear, Rafael Sotomayor's Supersonic and Hang Massive's The Secret Kissing of the Sun and Moon. Very cool.
Dr. Kirsten Zemke joins Mike and Tess in studio for one last Christmas cheer, talking laughter in songs. Creepy or uplifting? David Bowie's The Laughing Gnome, Paul Evan's Happy-Go-Lucky-Me and even Screamin' Jay Hawkins's I Put a Spell on You give us something to think about...
Dr. Kirsten Zemke talks sleigh bells, Dance, Dance, Dance by The Beach Boys, Welcome to the Good Times by The Black Crowes, and Come by Prince. See, the sleigh bell is a versatile instrument that features in many genres, not just Christmas classics!
Dr. Kirsten Zemke is back, and yes you might think she has thought of aaaaall the instruments you can imagine, but no - there's more! Talking the Portuguese Guitar, with Victor Vicente, Kirsten's ethnomusicology friend. Tragic or heartwarming?
Dr. Kirsten Zemke has taken a listener request from last week, and turned it into a wonderful segment for you all this week. Talking the interesting world of ~feedback~ this week, with The Strokes New York City Cops, Sonic Youth's Silver Rocket and Jimi Hendrix's Machine Gun. As well as Mikey's personal favourite track featuring feedback, but what could that be?
The doctor is here to examine the Lute this morning. Dr. Kirsten Zemke's instruments are weird, wonderful, and always interesting and this one features on Sting's Can She Excuse My Wrongs?, Julian Bream's Greensleeves and Mignarda's Let All Mortal Flesh Eat Silence (which is actually a Christmas song, it's getting closer).
Not only are spoons a handy utensil for soups, ice cream, and sugar for your morning coffee, but they double as a smashing instrument. Featuring on Soundgarden's famous track Spoonman, Chris Rodrigues & the Spoon Lady's Angels in Heaven and Barde's Le violon accordé comme une viole. Oh, and Deb from Australia's cover of The Black Keys Lonely Boy.
