Good show so far, I really do wish youd encode the tracklisting in the comments part of the ID3 tag.

The last time I tried to encode a large chunk of text in the ID3 tag it only caught the first x letters so I never bothered again, but I'll try once more, just for you.

Do you have some special trick you do with the comments? I've never seen any advantage to them myself but if you've found one, do tell...

Like what I've heard of these so far and I haven't had time to listen to them all yet! The quirky mix of tunes is excellent, better than most of 6 Music and without the wanky 'idents' which is a real bonus. My reason for writing is your open question on the Ilygaaluit track by Tumasi Quissa. Listening to it I thought the tune was 'Jambalaya' which I recognize from being exposed to The Carpenters when I was too young to fight back. Could it be an Inuit version of the above standard?

Shaun - I have absolutely no idea! I'll have to track down Jambalaya and have a compare, not being much of a Carpenters fan...

You're right. According to the WMFU blog (where I got it from) "Tumasi Quissa's trademark was singing in the voices of the characters in his songs. In this one he sings both parts of a conversation between an old man and an old woman, to the tune of Hank Williams' Jambalaya."

I've gotten hold of the Williams version and should it please my ears might well make it into the next show.

Go Pete!

You can use any and all HTML when leaving a comment. If you want to link somewhere, and as long as you're not spamming me I encourage you to do so, it's best to leave the link in proper tags rather than just dump the URL in. For example: <a href="http://www.somewhere.com">somewhere cool</a>.
