Lazpod 29

Latest Lazpod is one hour and forty minutes of quality vibes, as per usual. Some of them are a little out there. But it's always good to widen those ear horizons. I always learn something new listening to a Lazpod, and there are some whopper tracks thrown in. Loving that midway Squire track!

01. Insanlar - Kime Me (Ricardo Villalobos Remix)
02. Red Axes - Spider Feel
03. SLG - Varsovia Marimba
04. Francis Bebey - Sanza Nocturne
05. Damon Albarn - Photographs (You Are Taking Now)
06. Condry Ziqubu - Gorilla Man
07. Jungle Music
08. Hunter/Game - Bermuda
09. Squire - Midnight Garden (ft. Squire)

Lazpod 27: The Lovepod

So I guess for a blog called Swooner there isn't much else on here but mostly dance music and the odd gif of Jean Claude Van Damme punching a snake. Until now! Damian Lazarus' latest Lazpod is 90 minutes of pretty amazing love songs, a mix he says he has been perfecting for over 10 years. Fair play to him, I am part robot but even I think this is pretty great. Loads of classics* but also a bunch of gorgeous songs I'd never heard before. I'm sending this across the interwaves to my friend Julie in Rome, it's her birthday today and she loves SONGS WITH WORDS. Tanti Auguri, Giuliana!

I've posted a couple of other Lazpods check 'em here. Always learn so much listening to them; they are all so different and even within each episode there is so much going on. (They remind me a lot of the Django Django mixes in that way, a chance to listen to music not normally on my radar.) Go follow soundcloud.com/damianlazarus to check out the rest too!

* I even made it all the way through Chris Isaak's 'Wicked Game', a song I can't usually bear. It was worth it! 

Lazpod Live #1

This is the first of a live Lazpod series Damian Lazarus is doing - this one was recorded in Hong Kong to celebrate Chinese New Year - well worth a listen if you like any of his regular Lazpods, always a bananas selection of stuff, old timey songs along with some whopper tracks. Includes short interviews with Jason Swamy (the Robot Heart guy) and Subb-an (Crosstown Rebels) who plays some sweet tunes; makes for good radio if you want something a little different:

There is a minute of silence when the guest Xioa musician, Tam Po Shek is interviewed because of a mic problem but stick with it!

I have posted a few of his regular Lazpods here, check 'em out here or go to lazpod.com/ for the whole lot. To be honest I found the last one (#26), quite hard to get into, but any of the other ones I've checked out have been great.
