Yaraan Couzens-Bundle: Whale Dreaming: SOPEC,  Birthing Trees, & the Resistance of Healing Country

You are at the threshold of a dream, or perhaps a nightmare, you have been here before. Many times. you are In the ethereal grasp of twilight.You don't know where this is. But you know that the obligations of reality, the social amenities of flesh and blood. They don't apply here.

Peel Show Recordings from the 1980s!

The John Peel Show had a great influence on my musical tastes when growing up. Luckily, I was keen enough to record some of the programmes using my trusty twin-tape ‘ghetto blaster’ and these tapes have survived to this day, safely stored away…until NOW!

With modern technology, I am now digitalising these precious recordings for all to hear and enjoy 😎 :)

The first tape I have transcribed includes sessions by SLAB! and Stump, amongst other classic Indie tracks from the period - track list below. Also included in the recording are John’s droll and hilarious ramblings, and the recording starts with a classic Peel moment as he throws a jumping record across the studio 😅 

PLAYLIST 
1) The Railway Children “Brighter”
2) Playground “Nothing New”
3) SLAB! “Undriven Snow" (Session)
4) The Wedding Present “Felicity”
5) Stump “Bone” (Session)
6) The Glass Keys “Workshop of my Mind”

15) The Woodentops “Hear Me James”

at 54m 30s I get a magnificent name check along with my good friend Tim (I had bumped into Peel at a Bhundu Boys gig at the Half Moon, Putney the previous week and literally trod on his foot - later passing him a note for a name check on the programme ;)

16) Jonah Moyo and the Devera Ngwena Jazz Band “?”
17) Mighty Mighty “Throwaway” (flexidisc)
18) SLAB! “Bloodflood” (Session)

24) SLAB! “Parallax Avenue” (Session)
25) Real Sounds “Tornadoes vs. Dynamos”
and that is that…

The Session Bands
SLAB! were an industrial music/alternative rock band initially active between the mid-1980s and early 1990s. They reformed in 2009. More on SLAB! here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SLAB!

Stump were an Irish-English indie/experimental/rock group active from 1983-88, consisting of Mick Lynch (vocals), Rob McKahey (drums), Kev Hopper (bass) and Chris Salmon (guitar). Their music has been described as a mixture of Captain Beefheart and The Fall, and they are best known for their influential, critically acclaimed, but poor selling 1988 album, A Fierce Pancake. More on Stump here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stump_(band)

Recorded on a Maxell XLII C-90 chromium tape (see photo) - now over 35 years old, you may hear a few tape stretches here and there, as well as jumping records!, but the tape has stood up to the test of time very well :)

Enjoy the classic Peel Show and step back into the 1980s 😎 :)
More Peel to follow soon…

Bazz's Energy Express: Journey Back (10/10/24)

You didn’t choose this place. Not consciously.
But some part of you—a quieter part—asked to be taken. And we answered.
This is not entertainment. Not comfort. Not even narrative.
It’s a controlled detour from the system of things you usually mistake for reality.
You’ve been following patterns.
Waking, scrolling, consuming, reacting—
until thought became noise, and noise became home.
But now, for reasons you don’t need to understand,
you’ve stopped.
You’ve paused.
And that silence?
That’s where we begin.
You are no longer in charge of the journey.
There is no destination.
No map.
No way back until we say so.
What you’re about to hear may not be real.
But everything in it is true.
So sit still.
Turn off the lights behind your eyes.
And if something stirs in the dark corners of your thinking—
don’t speak.
Just listen.
We’re already inside.
Let us take it from here.

new season 4 episode 2 - 10:07:2025, 17.57

You’ve found us again—though you don’t quite remember how.

For the next hour, we will guide your thoughts, shape your silence, and blur the edges of what you call the real.
You are now tuned into a signal not bound by clocks or calendars,
but by the rhythm of forgotten frequencies and unspoken truths.

You’ve crossed over.
This is the place between stations—
where the rules of your world stutter,
and a stranger logic hums just beneath the static.

We won’t ask you to believe anything.
Belief is optional here.
But attention—attention is mandatory.

What you are about to experience is not a broadcast,
but a breach.
A gentle perforation in the veil between what is and what might be.

Close your eyes.
Open your mind.
Let the transmission guide you.

You have entered an alternate reality—
where the facts are uncertain,
the voices are not entirely human,
and the silence is never really empty.

Welcome.

Been into rock and indie music since the 1970s. Went to many gigs in the 1980s when a student. Fewer in recent years - highlights include The Smiths at Kingston Poly in 1983 (for 50p!), Iggy Pop + Suicide at Hammersmith in 2010, Iggy Pop again at the Royal Albert Hall in 2016.

“One of UK’s Best and most original songwriters” (Maximum Volume Magazine)
Hailing from the centre of musical greatness, Liverpool, John Jenkins has steadily been wowing listeners and critics over with each new music release and performance. 


Critical praise and loyal fan base have slowly been building in recent years. He is a renowned singer/songwriter on the UK folk, country, and Americana scene. A master of melody, understated lyrics, and deft chord changes, Jenkins’ songs have been hailed wherever music is written about.

Jenkins has developed an engaged audience of fans and has established himself as a live touring act, both solo and collaboratively and has supported Chris Difford (Squeeze), Jarrod Dickenson, Robert Vincent (AMAUK Artist of the Year), Dean Owens and Steve Tilson in recent years. 

He performs solo, or with his band ‘John Jenkins and the James Street Band’ or as he did on his last two UK tours with Oxford’s ‘Pippa Murdie’ (Storm the Palace). 

Jenkins’s latest body of work, the 2024 EP ‘Weary’ released in September 2024 continues the universal critical acclaim he has received on his recent albums. 

“One to watch” - NSAI – Nashville Songwriters Association International

Americana UK 2021 “Emerging Artist” Runner Up

GSMC 2021 Music Award “Newcomer” Finalist

Praise for the “Weary’ EP 

Americana UK
“Absolutely breathtaking, and one of the best tracks I've heard all year”
“Collecting these tracks all together on one EP, marks "Weary", out as a must have and comes highly recommended.”

Buzz Slayers 

“This is not only a true show of great musicianship but of character and it's something you don't want to miss.
… make you think of artists like Neil Young for example.”
 

Desperately Lost City 
“In the space of one song, I had gone from feeling down and drained to suitably uplifted”

Rocking Magpie
“I’ve paid a lot of money of the years buying albums and singles by household names that don’t even come close to creating raw, honest and deeply personal songs like these six; all of which will squeeze your heartstrings until you can’t take any more … but then press ‘repeat.’”

Spill Magazine Toronto
“Jenkins continues to come up with wonderful songs and has clearly carved out his musical niche. He is a talented artist, and this EP goes a long way in demonstrating his talent”
4 STARS

Louder Than War
“The Weary EP is yet another collection of outstanding songs which adds further to the diversity of John Jenkins impressive songbook”

NM Chester
“It's a stellar addition to his remarkable songbook and a true testament to his exceptional talent as a singer-songwriter”



Praise for the “Tuebrook” Album

Maximum Volume 

“This is the work of one of the UK’s best and most original songwriters”.

Americana UK

“This masterful collection highlights why Jenkins is fast becoming one of Liverpool’s most respected singer-songwriters”.

Rocking Magpie

“Nothing could prepare me what was about to unfold …This Album let me speechless”.

Spill Magazine Toronto Canada

“One incredible Album ... Tuebrook stands out in the same way Nebraska stood out for Bruce Springsteen”.


R'N'R Magazine Issue 102 Nov/Dec 2023 
“There is a beguiling honesty in the artifice that has gone into constructing the songs. The writing and arrangements variously show a debt to artists as diverse as ‘Simon & Garfunkel’ and ‘Ralph McTell’”.



Liverpool Acoustic

“This is a fantastic album and solidifies Jenkins as a truly formidable songwriting talent”.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *
‘Tuebrook” is a piece of art that moves the listener, cajoles it, defends the right of the listener to feel the crush of overwhelming humanity, and then lifts with hope…this is an album for the age, and to hear it is to love it.”

Stereo Stickman 30th June 2023
A uniquely evocative collection of songs. ‘Tuebrook’ makes for a timeless and consistently heartfelt listen, and effectively extends further still the ever-genuine repertoire of John Jenkins.

Fatea Magazine July 2023
“At times warmly nostalgic but without rose-tinted glasses, at others movingly sad, it’s an album for those of a certain age who have come to look back on their own younger days and those with whom they shared them, and as such, it’s a little gem”

At The Barrier Magazine Aug 2023 
“Some of the warmest and most intimate, wistful, confessional reveries that you’re likely to hear this side of Christmas”.

Desperately Lost City Aug 2023 
“Evocative of Paul Heaton & Jaqui Abbott’s folk pop, but without the heavy production … Add in a wistful voice full of reflection and they become as inviting as those of Suzanne Vega”

Louder Than War Magazine Aug 2023 
“Tuebrook is an album which will definitely stand the test of time and may well prove to be a defining moment in the life of John Jenkins as well as his musical career”.
