the svelte selection
If you're new to all things svelte, my radio show is full of new tunes from across the musical spectrum, from folk to techno, Mozart to Muhly, pop to po-faced pretension. I also half-arsedly review shows to which I have been, records that I have liked, art that's delighted or disappointed and sometimes a bit of politics.
At first I'll simply be podcasting my full Purple Radio show (2 hours every month), but I hope to move to an hour a fortnight to make it a bit more manageable. Each episode will come with a link to the blog and a fulltracklisting so you can go and get your mits on the glorious tunes and support the artists making the stuff you like.
Oh, and if you've got pointers to records or musicians you think I'd like, or want to send me your music directly, please please PLEASE do.
