24.11.11 Minki's Magic Moments

Today it’s Thanksgiving in the US of A. Ah yes, I hear you cry, but we are not IN the USA (well some of you might be, but by this time you will be starting to stuff the turkey). BUT, BUT, this will be the first ever year that I am having a Thanksgiving dinner, this very weekend. It’s also a holiday that I wish we WOULD adopt here in the UK. Why? Because Americans apparently focus so much on Thanksgiving that Christmas doesn’t even feature until afterwards, something I am quite passionate about. Here in the UK we are starting WAY too early. And so, tonight’s playlist is dedicated not only to Thanksgiving (OK, some of the links are rather tenuous) but also the second half of the show will be all about Black Friday, and the tracks or bands will involve the word Black! There are the usual treats such as ‘Snap’, (this week it’s “Limousine”), Double Whammy from The Scratch ( a little bird tells me Mr Andy may pop in), Something For The Weekend (so bring a notebook) and topics such as Guilty Pleasures, Minki’s Moments and things neighbours do to annoy you. I'd love to know what you think of the tonight's tracks - what do you like/not like/what do you want to hear more of? Of course if you have something that gives you a magic moment, let me know - [email protected], so I can read it out on the show. Or visit the Facebook page on facebook.com/minkismagicmoments - come and say hello! The link to the bundle of bands and events is here, all in one neat package!
