No better way to describer this music than Zydeco Punk…the track that I chose for the Frukie stream is from their album Le Grand Bleu. Check out this video…the album is not as full on as this track and has a stronger Zydeco sound as well as Americana and Rock crossover. Watch the Video: [click to continue…]

Maybe it was because I spent most of today walking around a farm with like minded people that I’ve been revisiting a lot of music that I played in the past to add to the Frukie Stream…who knows. I’ve just been listening to Jorge Carfune, here is his biography:
Jorge Antonio Cafrune (Jujuy , August 8th 1937 – Buenos Aires , February 1st 1978 ) was a one of the most popular argentinian folklorist singers of his time, aside from be a unflagging investigator, compilator and diffuser of the native culture. [click to continue…]

Sometimes its nice to share something which isn’t music related. I Caught these wonderful summer visitors on camera a couple of weekend’s ago. The Juvenile Swallow had such a striking face and I watched them fly gracefully around me for what seemed like ages.

I recently watched “The Devil and Daniel Johnston” which is a documentary about Daniel’s life. As a documentary it goes to the very soul of a life. I’ve never watched anything so intimate and open before. I had mixed feelings by the end as you get an insight into his personal struggle with mental illness. Throughout I felt overwhelmed and saddened but I also laughed at his humour and genius. I’ve posted the trailer below along with a more recent interview in which Daniel talks about the film and it’s affect upon him. [click to continue…]

Brighton based British Sea Power have scored a 1934 silent film about life on the Aran islands off Ireland’s western coast. This may seem like an odd choice seeing as the original consisted of Irish folk songs. But it works in a strange way in that it brings a greater reality to what you are viewing. You will be able to hear some tracks on our Frukie stream very soon.
“Man Of Aran” was shot by American filmmaker Robert J. Flaherty, who’s most famous for 1922’s Nanook Of The North. Man Of Aran itself is docufiction; its footage comprises both real and staged scenes of human subsistence in the unforgiving environment of the Aran islands: splitting rocks to find precious soil, harvesting seaweed to use as mulch in potato fields, repairing boat hulls with oilcloth”.

We had a nice relaxing day at the South Somerset Green Fair a couple of weeks ago and this pictured seemed to sum it up for me.

We’ve re-introduced track votes on the Frukie stream so if you like a track you can rate it between one and five stars. It’s all done through the “Now Playing” widget. Don’t leave it until the end of the track though as it refreshes every 30 seconds so there is a chance you may vote for the next track…life is never straightforward.
