ACE TRACKS FROM GREAT MUSICIANS

Jon BON Jovi-Wanted Dead Or Alive

The Danish-born Berlin-based singer-songwriter Agnes Obel landed a pan-European hit with her disarmingly beautiful debut album ‘Philharmonics’. After seven weeks at #1 in Denmark and hitting the Top 10 in both France and the Netherlands, the deluxe double CD version of the album will be released in the UK on May 2nd on Play It Again Sam.

Entirely self-produced and performed, ‘Philharmonics’ opens with the instrumental piano piece ‘Falling, Catching’ which sets the tone for Obel’s classically inspired songwriting. The next track, ‘Riverside’, flows with a depth of emotion embedded with further character by Obel’s love of combining her sweet melodies with carefully considered lyrics that evoke the song’s innate sound. ‘Just So’ works a similar trick, its blend of melancholy and optimism perfectly encapsulated into the opening line ‘Black turns beat me bright.’ Elsewhere, with ‘On Powdered Ground’, ‘Brother Sparrow’ or her interpretation of John Cale’s ‘Close Watch’, she melds different moods and atmospheres, all indelibly linked by the brittle majesty of her music.

The deluxe edition of the album adds a second CD featuring six tracks recorded at Obel’s recent acclaimed residency of sold-out shows in Copenhagen and five instrumental piano performances.

As a child, Obel was subconsciously guided into music by the influence of her mother and father, who would play and listen to a blend of the classical greats, folk music like Jan Johansson and the timeless sounds of Roy Orbison. After discovering the likes of Portishead and Elliott Smith as a teenager, she began writing her own piano-based songs, but it wasn’t until she moved to Berlin in 2006 that she began recording an album.

Many of the songs on ‘Philharmonics’ have subconsciously found an audience through their use in film and television. ‘Just So’ soundtracked a Deutsch Telekom advert, which gave Obel the unusual combination of having a song that everyone knew while having almost no profile as an artist herself. But soon opportunities presented themselves and continue to do so. One of Obel’s earliest breaks came when three of her demos featured in cult director Thomas Vinterberg’s film Submarino – ‘Riverside’ earned her a Robert Award (Denmark’s equivalent of the Oscars) for Best Song of the Year. Her music also reached a bigger North American and international audience when ‘Riverside’ was used in Grey’s Anatomy.

iTunes extended Obel’s profile further by requesting an exclusive release of ‘Philharmonics’ and highlighting Obel on the home page of their North American website. The attention of the press has been consistently positive with Vogue and culture magazine Telerama producing in-depth features in France, while Obel will also feature in both the North American and European issues of TIME.

Lyrics:
Red light
Sirens
Baby what’s the fun without a chase
Headlines
Lyin’
I know we’ll be filling every page
Keep it
Quiet
Everybody’s got something to say
(Secrets love to escape)

We’re keepin it on the low low low low low
Only touch you when we’re alone ‘lone ‘lone ‘lone ‘lone
Nobody ever has to know know know know know
What happens in the shadow-oh-ohs oh woah
(In the shadows)

Your clothes
My floor (yeah)
Cuz my hands look better on your waist
Bodies
No control
We’re the lighting in the rain
Heartbeat
Echoes
I can hear it pound in my brain
(In my brain)

In the shadows you belong to me
Shadows where we wanna be
Only place that we call home
Only place I can be yours
In darkness hiding from the light
Darkness covering their eyes
Only heaven’s watching

We’re keepin it on the low low low low low
Only touch you when we’re alone ‘lone ‘lone ‘lone ‘lone
Nobody ever has to know know know know know
What happens in the shadow-oh-ohs oh woah
(In the shadows)
(In the shadows)

Shadows long and creeping
Fallin’ through the air
Never really sleeping
Forbidden love affair

Darkness thick and heavy
Clouded state of mind
Keeping secrets ready
For they can never die

We’re keepin it on the low low low low low
Only touch you when we’re alone ‘lone ‘lone ‘lone ‘lone
Nobody ever has to know know know know know
What happens in the shadow-oh-ohs oh woah

It's My Life

HANK MARVIN is England's very first R&R Guitar God.  Without a doubt the most influential guitarist of His generation.  He's also a very kind person.  This is a very special radio broadcast.  The idea was to introduce my old buddies to their hero.  Irishmen Colm Graham & Robbie Furlong are career guitarists & legends all their own.  Both men credit Hank Marvin as their reason for being, the man who inspired them to pursue their careers in music.  Hank was so generous with his time & just a joy to speak with.  On behalf of Colm & Robbie, I just want to say "Thanks Hank" for being such a Gent.  This radio show was a high point in our lives.  Most Appreciatively Yours, Joe

For his blogs 4th birthday Mr @Peenko asked 4 bands/artists to record a new song, which had to be strictly no more than 2 minutes long. Then he had a proper artist provide some beautiful artwork. He put them together as an extremely limited set of flexi postcards which are now available here:

ARTS.   LIFESTYLE.   SNS ONLINE.

- SNS Online started its life as a weekly hour long LGBTQ+ magazine/music show ('ScratchNSniff', hence 'SNS'!) on national Irish dance music station, RTÉ Pulse - running on and off for four years. Since then the show has evolved as an online showcase for actors, musicians, journalists, authors, script writers, stand-up comedians and more - all in the form of in-depth one-to-one interviews - all fully illustrated with archive audio & music. These are independent podcasts produced to the highest professional standards and non-profit making/also unhindered by advertising. Nick himself describes SNS Online as an 'audio love letter' to all who take part. But don't take his word for it - dive in!

- SNS Online's Nick Randell has worked in radio/TV sound for 30 years at the BBC. He has also presented for the BBC World Service - 'Pop Phrases' (a 20 part BBC English series), the UK top ten for the Azeri stream (in English, not Azeri!), radio packages for numerous BBC regions/World Service, and finally, Irish national, RTÉ (four series of weekly hour shows - music/features/guests Weds 7-8pm). 

- TV appearances Blue Peter, Newsround, The One Show (BBC One), Gaytime TV (BBC Two), The Working Life (ITV). 

- Was once described as 'some BBC suit' by The Guardian's Media Monkey, after Nick wrote a letter to Ariel which got misinterpreted. 

- Many other 'ScratchNSniff' shows from its initial RTÉ run are available to be heard via Mixcloud by searching there for SNS Online.
