There's an awful lot of cheese over at the contrast podcast this week, as "cheese" was the theme for this episode. The cheese theme was cooked up by Fil, the purveyor of pogo a go-go, and if nothing else I think you should listen to the initial intro, because anything Fil concocts is bound to be delicious.
Turns out I had a dearth of cheese-related tunes in my music library but that doesn't seem to be the case for most everyone else, as there are a lot of interesting (weird-looking?) songs about it in this podcast. You can taste it for yourself right here. Next week the theme is a surprise, which already has me wondering what it could be. Knowing Tim, it will be anyone's guess.
So what should I play for today, seeing as I wasn't in the podcast? How about a couple of tracks to mark the month of June? I suppose that's as relevant as anything else I could think of, such as the fact that the band Fanfarlo is selling their most excellent record Reservoir for $1.00--that's right, one dollar, and you not only get the album but you get four bonus tracks as well. I may actually buy it again just to get them. You can go to their website and take advantage of this most generous offer, but you have to do it before July 4th, which is when the price goes back up. If you go here, you can watch them play an acoustic version of "Luna," which they recorded in June in a lovely English garden.
Here are two June tunes to keep you company until next we meet.
