Post-script:

This was such a difficult list to come up with! I recall last year's selection being much more straightforward -- but it's hard to complain when the reason is that there was just an overload of so much great music this year. Anyway feeling oddly nostalgic after tonight's show and here're a few more songs that meant a lot to me this year but which just wouldn't have fit into the programme. Thanks once again all for listening!

7 more honourable mentions of 2010:
* Blonde Redhead - Spain (4:56)
* ceo - Come with Me (3:51)
* Ikonika - Fish (4:37)
* Shining - The Madness and the Damage Done (5:20)
* Sun Araw - Deep Temple (11:30)
* Sun Kil Moon - Alesund (6:27)
* Women - Heat Distraction (4:05)

Syndicate 6.5: Open Space

Dear friends, Free Music Now! will be taking a break this week to attend Syndicate 6.5: Open Space. Our favourite dub + beats night takes an even more conceptual turn, working with archival (and contemporary) images in collaboration with the Human Studies Film Archives of the Smithsonian Institution (Washington DC). More info posted below.


A collaboration with the Human Studies Film Archives of the Smithsonian Institution. Syndicate will be presenting original and reworked found music, archival and contemporary images reprocessed from laptops on the theme of Open Space in Southeast Asia.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Human Studies Film Archives of the Smithsonian Institution

The Human Studies Film Archives (HSFA) celebrates 35 years of preserving, documenting, and providing access to moving images for the broad study of world cultures and the development of ethnographic filmmaking.

The collections encompass a wide range of documentary, travelogue, ethnographic, and amateur film genres that span most of the 20th century and are supported with still photographs, audio and paper records.

In 2009, HSFA's "John Marshall Ju/'hoan Bushman Film and Video Collection, 1950-2000" was inscribed on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

SYNDICATE

A melt down of audio experimentation and visual dares from the bass bins, beat baskets and image banks of the Syndicate, an audio-visual super-group of beat-makers, DJs and VJs.

Syndicate reengineers your perceptions of electronic dance music, crunches your brains with multimedia projections, and shakes up expectations.

Don’t miss out on this sideshow peep into the world of audio-visual mutations and jarring encounters with Singapore’s own sonic aliens

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Admission is free. Show starts at 8pm sharp and ends at 10pm.

Radio Yesterday

info@resonancefm.com to me

Radio Yesterday
00:00 to 24:00, Saturday 19 June 2010
on Resonance104.4fm
broadcasting in central London, streaming worldwide on www.resonancefm.com

Most radio stations rely on playlists. Most rely upon the repetition of familiar tunes. Resonance104.4fm, the award-winning radio station which famously does not have playlists, presents an entire day devoted to a single song.

Radio Yesterday presents 24 solid hours of radio in the company of The Beatles's “Yesterday,” reputedly the most covered song in history - in as many cover versions as it's possible to secure. Midnight to midnight, the day after Sir Paul McCartney's 68th birthday.

Radio Yesterday is one thing, Radio Yesterday is many things. It's a forensic examination of “variations on a theme.” It's an homage to an enduring masterpiece. It's an investigation into what turns a pop song into currency. It's a satirical take on “golden oldie” playlists. It's a exercise in casual listening taken to a crazy extreme. As comfort zone turns into endurance test and back, Radio Yesterday is presented as a conceptual radiophonic artwork by Resonance104.4fm, the winner of the Radio Academy’s Nations and Regions Award for London.

Radio Yesterday is conceived and produced by Ed Baxter. It is curated by sound-artist Dan Scott. It features the voice of continuity announcer Piers Gibbon.

Radio Yesterday!
