"William Burroughs, Ken Kesey, Jack Kerouac, Camus; all books were just as exciting to us as records, there wasn't much difference." - Richey Edwards, 1991
Helloooooo, is anyone out theerrre?
Dunno if this thing is active anymore - had even forgotten about it myself - but if this reaches you then you may, possibly, be ecstatic to learn I’ve rekindled the ole Wireless Show.
Apart from an improved production there’s not much change, the content is what you came to cherish back yonder: borderless music from across the globe and decades aimed at the heart and feet.
Hope you’re all well. Stay positive comrades.
Monkey's Wandering Wireless Show reaches episode 50! Can you believe it?
Many thanks to every one of you who has listened at some point. It's a nice landmark and feels the right time to close this series. It's been a real pleasure to do and wonderful that it's connected with so many of you. Thank you.
Take care,
Monk
It's time to pack up your troubles in a old kit bag and take a trip to Monkey Island. In less than an hour you'll hear some of the globe's grooviest grooves, old and new, including heavenly soul, acid evangelists, raucous garage rockers, tambourine shaking god botherers, drug crazed hillbillies, drunks with the blues, Latino dance mash-ups, bouncy pop beats and other stuff that's none of those things.
Get on board now!
Captain Monk
Howdy comrades. Thanks for your patience but the wait is over, a new Wandering Wireless Show is available now!
You know the score by now: a hour's blend of sophisticated soul, scruffy rock 'n' roll, an angry dog yapping to jazz, that sorta thing. Tracks from 1953 onwards with a very healthy number of hot new waxings to enjoy.
Thanks a lot. Hope you enjoy it.
Monk
Howdy.
Hope you're all doing okay. If you need a little escape from the the outside world for an hour, the new Monkey's Wandering Wireless Show is at hand - a hip bag of soul stirrers, head rockers, fuzz phantoms, blues busters, beefy beaters, folky flippers, jazz strokers, galvanising groovers and plenty more made up genres.
Take care people.
It goes a little something like this.
Howdy comrades! Been a while - about two months - but the new Monkey's Wandering Wireless Show is now ready for your enjoyment. Ya know the score by now so no need for me to give it the heavy sell but hope you can find an hour.
Hope you like the flyer too, took a long time to create with (digital) scissors and Pritt-Stick!
Listen up: Satisfaction Guaranteed
