HEAVENLY JUKEBOX
Boy Azooga have covered the title track from the cult-classic private-press psych-folk-rock masterpiece U.F.O. by the legendary Jim Sullivan, who disappeared without a trace (some say abducted by aliens) in 1975. They’ve also made a very sweet tribute video. Watch below.
Following The Orielles, here is a brand new playlist celebrating 30 years of Heavenly Recordings.
A note from Romeo:
“Here’s a little playlist I put together of 30 of my favourite releases on Heavenly Recordings to celebrate their 30 year anniversary as still being one of the best Independent labels around. Heavenly released the first 3 Magic Numbers albums and we’ll always be thankful for that. Hope you enjoy Romeo x.”
Featuring tracks from HALO MAUD, Ed Harcourt, M. Craft, Katy J Pearson and more!
⭐️ LISTEN AND FOLLOW FOR UPDATES⭐️
It’s been 15 years since we released The Magic Numbers debut album.
Available again for the first time since its original release in 2005, in a beautiful 2LP package, don’t miss your chance to fill this hole in your collection on Record Store Day!
To follow up from yesterday’s radio recommendations, we wanted to particularly highlight Emma Warren’s Worldwide FM show from last week, where she was joined by poet Belinda Zhawi (Ma Moyo/Born Free) and harpist-beatmaker Marysia Osu.
The broadcast features the regular two hours of music exceptionally curated by Emma, as well as a live session by Belinda Zhawi and Marysia Osu which is truly beautiful.
The trio also have a warm chat about their communities, their creative process and more. We really can’t recommend enough that you fill your homes with these good vibrations to stave off the cabin fever.
Jeff has updated our Spotify with a brand new playlist. Have a listen here and read what he had to say:
“It’s obvious from this playlist that I’m currently enjoying a lot of new soul and R&B records that sound a lot like the old soul and R&B records that I’ve loved forever.
“The new Daptone imprint, Penrose Records, was launched recently and there is a lot to enjoy among their first batch of releases. I’ve gone for the testifying vocal sound of The Sinseers, the joyous uptown swing of Jason Joshua and the Smokeyesque and utterly gorgeous When You Go by The Altons. All these and more are coming soon on 45 and downloadable from the Penrose Bandcamp page.
“Always keep an eye on Khruangbin, those recent remixes by Scientists are ace and this hook up with Leon Bridges has reminded me that the guy can sing. Ace arrangement / production too. The Mia tune is my real big fave right now I’m just gutted that the vinyl release is heart shaped and red. Bummer. What else? Redbone turned up in a music doc recently (Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked The World) and took me back to my pre punk teens, what a tune, and thanks to our Sonny for turning me on to Jean Grae and Quelle Chris. I need to investigate further.”

To celebrate last week’s announcement that Stealing Sheep are playing the BBC 6 Music festival in Liverpool on March 30th, the band were asked to put together a playlist to “show love” to some of their favourite tracks.
Some of the tracks were played on Mary Anne Hobbs’ show, and the band also came on to talk about Liverpool and premiere their new single.

Our Monday morning ritual of tuning in to James Endeacott’s Morning Glory show on Soho Radio was particularly pleasant today as he was joined by our pal Nick from Rough Trade East!
The pair played an excellently eclectic array of tunes from the likes of Golden Teacher, Michael Chapman and Cosey Fanni Tutti across a 2 hour long show which you can listen back to here.
Nick will be joining him bi-weekly, so be sure to tune in for another dose of his luscious radio voice. You can get an idea of his excellent taste from his 2018 albums of the year list (cough cough Anna Burch at no. 1!)
