What is cool? What is trendy? Who decides these things? In the context of this show what constitutes “Different”? In simplistic terms people send me things, or I buy them, based on past listening experience. I listen to them, if they sound sufficiently interesting, or they tug at some emotional string somewhere in the brain or heart, then they get on the show. This music sounds good to me, not stuck in some mainstream dreamed up in a committee meeting somewhere. It feels like Miles Davis Birth of the Cool did when I first heard it, recognisable as jazz but somehow completely unique in its’ construction of delivery. So this is “cool” music, or is it?PLAYLISTJesse Sykes And The Sweet Hereafter - Forever, I’ve Been Being BornOld Dirty Buzzard - Death Becomes Your Dying Worldmicroplastique - PropaneDubmatix - Echoes In The SmokeUgly Stick - Pig Pen Perpacity - Lille FlammeKariti - Fragile Joe’s Truck Stop - Midnight On The OhioColeman Williams - Alley SongOromet - Forsaken TarnDenial Of Life - Love StingPaitra - A Universal FeelingScissorgun - Gone RogueKawol Samarqandi - The Mirage of Khor Fajklan (part two)Mark Corrin - Stone Tape RecorderJessie Kilguss - Lost CausesDave Graney ‘n’ The Coral Snakes - Night of the Wolverine (live)Mark Snarski - I Need ConvincingOn Diamond - Hold the Cloak of TimeThe Apartments - A Handful of TomorrowWest Coast Sick Line - Break In PlayMoff Skellington - fark nebrous yelkin2 Lost Souls - Ballad Of A Lost SoulThe Parasite - The Men Who Drop The BombsThe Go-Betweens - The Clock (Airlock Demo)Tortoise - VexationsEmber Rev - Esprit De Corps
