News from legendary producer and author JOE BOYD "LUCKY 13" enters its final
month - all episodes still podcast at Resonance FM.
"I’ve had fun doing the first 13 episodes of "Joe Boyd’s Lucky 13" on
Resonance FM radio. It is inspired by the fact that 4 years ago I moved flats
and decided to re-organize my vinyl collection, all 5,000 of them!
I deliberately jumbled them up, then started counting 13 with a divider,
listening to whatever came up and filing it in the new system (or giving it to
Oxfam if it was crap). It was such a pleasure being surprised every day with
some unexpected music that I decided to turn the idea into a radio show.
Fortunately, I have also marked the good stuff and figured out a way to
combine my vinyl and cd collections (plus the cassettes I am transferring to
cd) so that I can start at arbitrary points and count 13 good ones and pull
out a plum. Then I use my favourite track on the album the system gives me as
part of a short set of tunes related by genre, location, artist, subject
matter or whimsy.
I’ve rather reluctantly provided Resonance with a track-listing - in an ideal
world you wouldn’t be able to view it until you’d listened to the show! I like
people being surprised by what comes next. I plan to revisit this once I have
my new book under control. I found myself sitting on buses and tubes thinking
about what tracks to combine instead of thinking about how to begin the next
paragraph. And that will never do!!
"If you want to check out one of the episodes, go to Resonance FM , then click
on "Podcasts" and my name is under "J" in the left hand column.
There are 10 up now, with three more coming before the end of February."
