#426 "The Animals Went In Two By Two" (26th Apr 2025)
Apr 2801:58:58Tap to summarizeSo, it’s an animals on wax special. Songs with animals in the title or band name. I know how to party. It’s rough and ready, not fixed anything and if you listened live, you got a bonus 3 songs. I was going to edit them in but I thought “you should have been there”. Shout out to Phillie B for giving me the idea of a theme within a theme.As always though, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.TRACKLISTINGAmos Milburn – Chicken Shack BoogieThe Mighty Imperials - ThunderchickenJackie Lee - The DuckClimaco Sarmiento Y Su Orquesta– La Pata Y El PatoMike Dorane & The Cimarons – Penguin FunkThe Penguins – Earth AngelThe Shandells – GorillaTarantula Ghoul – King KongRufus Thomas – Bear CatDr. Octagon - Bear WitnessThe Gaturs – Cold BearThe Swinging Tigers – Snake Walk (Part 1)Al Wilson - The SnakeCurtis Mayfield - SuperFlyDavid Axelrod - The FlyJelly Roll Morton And His Red Hot Peppers - Turtle TwistFlying Lotus - Turtles x 2Bill Boyd – Under The Double EagleBoards of Canada - An Eagle In Your MindThe Gospel Song Birds - I Want To Be More Like HimLeonard Cohen - Bird On The WireFleetwood Mac - AlbatrossThe Pharcyde - Emerald ButterflyVerve - ButterflySwan Silvertones - Trouble In My WayThom Yorke - Black SwanBlackalicious - Swan LakeBlackalicious - Swan Lake (Instrumental)Dave Bartholomew - Shrimp and GumboRobert Johnson - Dead Shrimp BluesJaguars - Drive InThe Jaguars - Night WalkerJapanese Television - Lizard MoonApex Twin - Pancake LizardNils Frahm - You (Bug Lover Rework)Bessie Smith – Mean Old Bed Bug Blues

It’s been a minute since we’ve done one of these, which is a travesty (in some people’s eyes).So here it is, 120ish minutes of weird music for you to enjoy/endure.No show from us tomorrow (19th April) due to legitimate reasons. We’ll hopefully be back next week with another great show.As always though, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.SHOW NOTESCharanjit Singh, acid house pioneer | Music | The Guardianhttps://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/apr/10/charanjit-singh-acid-houseThe 101 Strangest Records on Spotify: The Space Lady - The Space Lady's Greatest Hits | Music | The Guardianhttps://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/mar/26/the-101-strangest-records-on-spotify-the-space-lady-the-space-ladys-greatest-hitsCosmic Intervention: An Interview With The Space Lady | The Quietushttps://thequietus.com/interviews/space-lady-interview/The House Carpenter by Clarence Ashley [Anthology Revisited - Song 3]https://rlhargis.substack.com/p/the-house-carpenter-by-clarence-ashleyTRACKLISTINGPigmy - Baby Sticks And The KingtonesKing Curtis - Night TrainPeanut Vendor - Play AlongSun Ra & His Arkestra - Island in the Sun (Complete Version)Cheng Minjang - RainwaterMaster Steps - MelodyAphex Twin - Logan Rock WitchTortoise - Oganesson (Saul Williams Remix)DJ Haram - LifelikeCharanjit Singh - Raga BhairavAngine de Poitrine - Sherpa (Chiptune Commodore 64 Cover SID6581 by Gabriel Champagne)Tipsy - ZenithTiger - Rap Pon RydimThe Space Lady - Born To Be WildTrio Ramberget - TR / IIIGrain - Untitled B1AmédæeMy Bloody Valentine - Instrumental No 2Clarence Ashley - The House CarpenterWeston Olencki - Omie Wise / Coda (How Great Thou Art)Godspeed You!

Apr 602:02:18Tap to summarizeAlright party people! A Monday upload that we’ve been putting off all day as it’s been sunny. It was a solo show from Steve, but that’s not the important bit. The important bit is there’s AN AMAZING GUEST MIX THAT YOU NEED IN YOUR EARS. Freakbeat Brónagh’s Land of Make Believe Mix is one for the ages. Don’t panic, we’re going to upload it clean in the week so you don’t have to endure Steve’s dulcet tones and dull chat.Back next week for a standard show. It’s #425 so we could do a weird one. We might, the jury’s out.As always though, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.SHOW NOTESBeta Band Tour DJ Sethttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/13lIHJIOAP0g7Cc41lDxYE?si=0dff8239e0e340f1#270 Mark Lanegan Tribute - (6th March 2022)https://www.mixcloud.com/RadioNightTrain/270-mark-lanegan-tribute-6th-march-2022/#62 David Axelrod Tribute Show (2nd March 2017)https://www.mixcloud.com/RadioNightTrain/62-david-axelrod-tribute-show-2nd-march-2017/Digable Planets: Noochie’s Live From The Front Porchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuVkDXNaOJwTRACKLISTINGStereo MC's - Ground LevelKing Curtis - Night TrainRichard Berry & The Pharaohs - Have Love Will TravelDeee-Lite - What Is Love?

Mar 1602:00:04Tap to summarizeParts of this show were made in a hurry. If we didn’t tell you that, we’re not sure you’d know as the bits we made are pretty good.

Mar 102:04:41Tap to summarizeIf it’s a choice between no show and a ropey show, most listeners would probably like a ropey show. That’s what this one is. Not the bits on the mic, those are as stellar as always. The music is also good. It’s the ordering of it, we’re a bit rusty so it doesn’t quite flow as well as it has in the past. Perhaps we’re over-thinking it (very likely).Anyway, here’s the show.
