Retrospace Radio #32: Music for the Maypole

noreply@blogger.com (Gilligan _Retrospace) — Tue, 18 Sep 2012 22:33:00 +0000

I'll be the first to admit this music isn't for everyone. So, if you try it and don't like it, no offense taken. But I will recommend you enter with the right frame of mind. This ain't Barry Manilow - these are songs that hearken back to Britain's rustic past. But don't think of Irish jigs and the Chieftains.

Let's just say the hippie movement brought about a sort of pastoral appreciation. Even the Kinks longed for the simple life of ages past. Pink Floyd sang about Hobbits, The Incredible String band sang about a witch's hat, and a bunch of bands recorded a song about a werefox (Reynardine). If this doesn't clue you in to what kind of music I'm talking about, maybe this podcast will clear it up.

Perhaps if the Beatles had latched onto the trend it would have gained more traction. The Fab Four were perhaps too entrenched in the smokestacks of Liverpool and Hamburg to really jump on the rustic bandwagon. Plus, their attempt to escape the urban world via the Maharishi had ended in spectacular failure.

Whatever the case, it was a very interesting moment in pop music history. And it is interesting to see the various angles it took. For instance, Kaleidoscope came with a psychedelic twist and Zeppelin brought a hard rock vibe. Some of this is not easy to swallow, even critics of the day couldn't tolerate Bert Jansch's voice "akin to dirty water finding its way down a partially clogged drain." Different strokes for different folks.

A few announcements regarding the Retrospace Podcast....

First, it is now to be called Retrospace Radio. It has annoyed me immensely over the past year or so that this isn't technically a proper podcast. I don't ever talk - it's just music with various clips thrown in. When I initially started these posts, I had every intention of recording myself - I even bought a mike. That dream was short lived. Let's just say, Johnny Fever I am not. I sounded like Bob Ross on quaaludes. It was awful and I've been sticking to the music ever since... but the title remained "podcast" until today.

Also, I am changing the format of these podcasts (now radio episodes). In the past, they have been a beautiful tapestry of nostalgia - an admixture of commercials, movie clips, songs, TV themes, etc. Needless to say, they took forever to make. I could write ten posts in the time it took me to make a single podcast. So, I am primarily sticking to just music, without a whole lot of bells and whistles. This sucks, but on the upside I can now deliver podcasts much more frequently... and they'll be longer. This one is thirty minutes.

And lastly, each episode will have a theme. For instance, there will be episodes with songs only about drugs, TV theme episodes, porn soundtrack episodes, etc. You get the picture. To start with, we'll go with something simple - "instrumentals". Enjoy.
