Warm up your living room this cold Saturday



I know I've banged on about this before, but you really should subscribe to Gilles Peterson's podcast, but I'm going to do it again. Well, he's gone a bit quiet lately - I hope he's not stopped doing them.

Every now and then, I find one that I didn't get around to listening to at the time, and it's always a pleasure. This one interviewing Aaron Jerome, and listening to his stuff is particularly lovely (vol 1, no.17). It starts with a great cover of Terry Callier's Dancing Girl, it's got some good African fusion and some really nice Talking Loud-ish Acid Jazz (which you'd expect from GP I suppose...).

Nearly an hour's worth of good stuff there. Go get.

Here's the original of Dancing Girl. As a song it has that bit of Leonard Cohen's Hallelulia's potential for misinterpretation that means it will probably crop up on X-Factor next Christmas...



Remember where you heard that prediction first....
