No commentsThis month’s hot releases
Rump shaking maestro Raymundo Fabulosi is back with his new album Electro Biscotti, mixing electro folk, gregorian chants and smooth island rhythms in what critics have described as a unique musical nature ramble through a favela of minor and major chords.
The debut album by The Chocolate Ponies is a carnival of human expression. Front man Ruben Paella delivers punk poetry with a Wordsworthian twist, while the harmonies and basslines are reminiscent of Liberace meets The Ramones on a day out on Barry White’s yacht.
Yard sale vinyl, Episode 4
Magnus is on his way back to the cabin after a vinyl swapping holiday with Dave Stewart, but while he has been away, what has Max been up to with a mop and duck feathers to pass the time?
Who is Eagle Mirado and why is she trying to beguile the impressionable Max with her finger tickling banjo?
With musical delights and much needed interludes from the likes of Kum Bai- The Yodeling King of India, Ronnie Aldrich and his Two Pianos, King Size Cha Cha and Jim Nabor, this stormy episode of Yard Sale Vinyl proves to be spicier and more emotionally dramatic than a dodgy take-away curry.

Lets big dance
Magnus and Max were initially booked to be the background dancers for this Ukrainian entry into Eurovision 2007. Unfortunately Magnus developed an allergy to the silver fabric used in the costumes and the boys were replaced at the last minute. If you look carefully you can just spot Max in the audience, grief stricken and weeping uncontrollably.
To quote Magnus: “This would have put us back into the big time. But how can you dance when you’ve got boils on your feet?”
The boy’s loss is of course our gain. In order to forget they planned on burying themselves in a Montreal opium den, however due to a navigation error made by Harry the bush pilot they ended up at the cabin where, after an unsuccessful experiment attempting to substitute opium with beaver fat and pine sap, they started broadcasting almost immediately.

An old friend visits The Cabin
Max and Magnus welcomed an old friend to the cabin this week who was in need of some hidden seclusion. Ludwig Speil arrived in the middle of the night, via Harry’s seaplane fresh from recording a solo album in Belarus. Fortunately there was enough canned fish and gerkins in the cabin and Ludwig had brought a case of plum brandy. Come morning he was gone and it seemed like a strange dream. Unfortunately the Telly Savalas album is missing.
Max, Ludwig and Magnus back stage with Austrian pop sensation - Über Kinda.
