If you are a regular listener to "Retro Nouveau" on Cloudmix, it will be no surprise to yourself, that I listen to a lot of music, new and old. It's strange, sometimes, like waiting for a Bus, nothing shows. Then out of know where, a pile up!
Where to start..... Phew, a ZZ Top 10 Album Box Set that selling at a silly price £23.00p approx, A complete John Denver Box Set that has 25 Albums, another superb Box Set from Jean Luc Ponty "Electric Fusion", a five disc set by Otis Redding.
New albums by Inner Road, Lindsey Stirling, Laura Marling and yet another fantastic metal album by Jorn.
As you can imagine, this will take time to digest, but rest assured you will get to hear them and more on forth coming editions of "Retro Nouveau".
If you don't succeed, try, try again. I finally manage to get my new Blake FM8 antenna up and running on the weekend. It's funny, my new QTH is only a quarter a mile for my last home, so you wouldn't really expect that much in regards to a change in reception. A few finding so far, as I haven't had chance to do a full band scan. I used to receive "City Talk" 105.9Mhz from Liverpool, that's now gone, due to yet another Sunshine Radio Relay in Wooferton Doh!!
On the positive side, it's seems I can now get LBC 97.3Mhz and BBC Radio London 94.9Mhz most of the time, which isn't to shabby, being that I am in the West Midlands. I will of course, when completed, post a full band scan.
As you may have noticed, I am really enjoying these old movies, that are now being released on Blu Ray. My all time favourite comedy, The Jerk staring Steve Martin is due out in August. If you have never seen it, it really is Steve Martin at his best, but be warned, it really is silly humour.
Fathers Day was really kind to me, I received a Spike Milligan DVD, and a Frank Carson Live DVD...."It's a cracker!"
On the TV front, we have been enjoying the new series of "Mad Dogs" on Sky 1 which is now in it's 3rd Series, and the fantastic "Playhouse Presents" on Sky Arts 1, Playhouse is superb, really I don't know whats going to happen next, week after week, it covers so many topics and themes. I can recommend this Series for a purchase on DVD.
Well, I guess I should sign off now, until the next update, and take a look back soon for the next release of Retro Nouveau.
