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”

14) Fabulous Salamanders “Mayen”
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)

23) The Undertones “Teenage Kicks” Peel’s ALL TIME FAVOURITE RECORD!
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…

Peel Show Recordings from the 1980s

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.

🎶 Latest Release: Restless Hearts (2025)
Released 4 July 2025
Self-Produced | Recorded at Crosstown Studios, Liverpool
Following the success of Tuebrook (2023) and the poignant Weary EP (2024), Jenkins’s new album Restless Hearts showcases twelve original tracks steeped in warmth, nuance, and narrative elegance. Inspired by the simplicity of Dylan’s John Wesley Harding and the clarity of Nanci Griffith’s storytelling, Jenkins explores love, faith, loss, and renewal — themes drawn from life’s restless journeys.
💬 What the Critics Are Saying:
•	⭐ “Restless Hearts is a triumph of songwriting and soul. John Jenkins has never sounded more assured—or more needed. One of the UK’s most compelling voices in the Americana scene.”- Liverpool Acoustic

•	⭐ “With Restless Hearts he has come up with his best album to date... pure music and stories.” — The Spill Magazine, Toronto
•	⭐ “A quietly powerful collection that invites the listener into a world of emotional ambiguity and faded light, Jenkins has a gift for conjuring characters and moments that linger — not because they are grand or dramatic, but because they feel true.” - Americana UK
•	⭐” Nobody tells a story and soothes the soul quite like John Jenkins… Restless Hearts is another stunning album, and perhaps his most impactful project yet.”- Stereo Stickman
•	
•	⭐ “John Jenkins draws you into his narrative with a gentle, soothing voice. It’s this personal touch which makes him stand out as a great songwriter.”- Suzy’s Musical World
•	
•	⭐ “These may be songs of restless hearts, but they beat with the blood of a master craftsman.” — Fatea Magazine
•	⭐ “John Jenkins returns to the emotional front and picks up the mantle of faithfulness to the dedication of storytelling within song.” — Liverpool Sound & Vision (9/10)
•	⭐ “You rarely hear a full album of songs that are authentic the way this release displays them... listening to this record is like reading a book.” — Buzzslayers
•	⭐ “John Jenkins is a lovely storyteller. His compositions feel fine, but they do have a good touch and also a nice level of complexity.” — Flyctory (4.4/5)
•	⭐ “Restless Hearts reinterprets Americana with British soul, delivering a moody and melancholy reflection that’s perfect for these troubled times — Jenkins remains one of the UK's most original songwriters.” — Rockin’ Rich Lynch
