Greetings!
I recently acquired a nice, large stack of CDs from Latvia, so get ready for some amazing songs from our Baltic friends. I have new stuff from Zipper, Lambrini Girls, Layout, Rāde, Robber Robber, Suitor, Spiritual Law, Indikator B, Tiikeri, Pletyka, Pura Manía, and more.
I also have a song from the new album by Angine de Poitrine, and the hype they receive is justified. Finally, I have a cut from the 50th anniversary box set of the Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart album Bongo Fury.
I try to keep my in-show talking to a minimum to make more room for music, but I do have more to discuss about what I play, so check out my companion show notes over at http://davidondandelion.blogspot.com
Enjoy the show!

Ayyuka - Yukadans
Ayyuka
Image from Discogs
Powered by Audioscrobbler™The roots of Ayyuka started in high school when guitarist Ozgur Yilmaz and bass player Altan Sebuktekin came together and started improvising. The next step in the development of Ayyuka occured at Eskisehir university when guitarist Ahmet Kul and drummer Alican Tezer joined. The group played covers(Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Ennio Morricone, PJ Harvey, Blonde Redhead, Erkin Koray, Orhan Gencebay, Neşet Ertaş) and continued improvising, and they started calling themselves Ayyuka. The word ayyuka has two very different meanings: "To the highest part of the sky" and "To tell that a secret has been revealed" (an idiom).
