Brian’s Mixtape #40: New York, New York

Brian’s Mixtape #40: New York, New York

Brian’s recently gotten to thinking about how much of the music he loves is about the cities, suburbs and plains of the U S of A.  He was going to do you a playlist about the whole darn country, but realised that that was biting off more than he could chew (which isn’t much...

Brian’s Mixtape #35: Leave the Animals Out of It

Following a delectable week of Joni Mitchell, Brian’s allowed his hippy side out of the oak tree for a pad around the forest floor.  Now, don’t get Brian wrong: he’s not about to give up his beloved dormouse suppers.  He has been thinking a lot about lentil-munching, Haribo-avoiding vegetarians a lot over the weekend,...

Brian’s Mixtape #25: Hello, Sunshine

Every discerning folk fan’s foul of choice, Brian Wilson II, is pleased to announce that spring has most definitely sprung.  He’s spent most of the morning being dragged around a meadow by a fresh-born lamb in whose fleece his talons became most unfortunately entangled, and yet his pleasure in the changing of the seasons...

Brian’s mixtape #24: Because We Want To

Readers, we’re a little worried. After his absence a couple of weeks ago, Brian’s been acting a bit strangely. He used to be such a lovely tidy, polite owl but now Brian’s stomping about like a petulant teenager, his roost is an absolute shambles and he’s taken to shouting “boring” whenever he loses interest...

Brian’s Mixtape #21: An Education

Although his primary love is, obviously, all forms of beautiful music, Brian’s a bird with more than one string to his bow.  He likes nothing better than curling up in his nest on a grey winter’s day with a good book.  He’s not fussy – fiction, non fiction, myth, legend or Modernist tome.  He’s...
