So, dear listeners, it is now 2010, and it seems awfully old fashioned of me to talk about last year, but you see, the thing is, I haven’t yet told you what I played in my last show of the year on 30th December.  This was part of our Warp Records night on BCB, so sandwiched in the middle of my show was a Warp20 (Minutes) mix of tunes on said record label, celebrating their 20th anniversary.  This is what I played:

APSE – 3.1
Phosphorescent – Can I Sleep In Your Arms
Magnetic Fields – We Are Having A Hootenanny
Fever Ray – If I Had A Heart
Vic Chesnutt – Like A Monkey In A Zoo [RIP Vic Chessnutt]
—
Warp20 (Minutes) mix:
Boards Of Canada – In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country
Autechre – Rale
Grizzly Bear – While You Wait For The Others
Aphex Twin – Girl/Boy Song
Gonjasufi – Kowboyz&Indians
Sqarepusher/AFX – Freeman Hardy & Willis Acid
Battles – Atlas
Bibio – Kaini Industries
—
Flight Of The Conchords – Hurt Feelings
Big Star – Blue Moon [played because 31st December was indeed a blue moon]
Camera Obscura – French Navy
Antoine Dougb̩ & Orcheste Poly-Rythmo РYa Mi Ton Gbo (Legends Of Benin compilation)

Phil Cope and Laura Rawlings also devoted a third of their shows that night to Warp20 (minutes) mixes.

And, if it doesn’t seem ludicrously old fashioned, I would still like to write a bit of a blog looking back at 2009, so I may yet still do that.
