Last Night A DJ Killed My Dog #009 – South-East Asia
Right now I’m taking a couple of months out to travel round South-East Asia, so I thought it would be good to have a soundtrack to accompany me along my (approximate) route. The result was a podcast that was much … Continue reading
Beijing to Hong Kong to Zhuhai to Guangzhou
Every one of my trips has a first memorable moment. In ’02 it was sleeping in Birmingham Airport, in ’05 landing in the stunning delta at Faro. Last year it all started in Zhuhai, watching Brandy have her contacts fitted … Continue reading
Last Night A DJ Killed My Dog #008 – God
Since last time the theme was the devil it seemed fitting that his heavenly counterpart should have a show too, even if just to settle that old argument about who has the best tunes. (incidentally, moderately-easy-to-offend Christians probably should give … Continue reading
Scorpions
Food – Deep-fried scorpions Location – Wangfujing night market, Beijing I’ve just spent six months in Beijing and trying the weird food at the night market seems to be the done thing, for tourists at least. Locals and resident foreigners … Continue reading
Winter in Beijing
Apparently there was a fair bit of snow in China this winter, but you wouldn’t think it living in Beijing. Though the temperature ranged from nippy to sub-zero there wasn’t any more than the briefest of light dustings. It was … Continue reading
Last Night A DJ Killed My Dog #007 – The Devil
1. Al Pacino – Speech from Devil’s Advocate 2. City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra – Theme from The Devil Rides Out 3. The Rolling Stones – Sympathy For The Devil 4. Godless Wicked Creeps – Deal With The Devil 5. … Continue reading
Last Night A DJ Killed My Dog #006 – American Tour
This fortnight we’re taking a trip across the USA. New York is being saved for another time. Incidentally I have never been to America. 1. Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers – New England 2. The Standells – Dirty Water … Continue reading
Last Night A DJ Killed My Dog #005 – Eighties Movies
This fortnight’s theme is ‘Movies of the Eighties’. 1. Suburban Death Squad – Eighties Movie Era 2. Yello – Oh Yeah 3. Simple Minds – Don’t You (Forget About Me) 4. Ray Parker Jr – Ghostbusters 5. Tom Cruise – … Continue reading
Last Night A DJ Killed My Dog #004 – Year of the Rat
Since this week is the first in the Chinese Year of the Rat, and since China is where I live right now, a rat-and-mouse-themed podcast seemed suitable. Why rats and mice? Because the Chinese don’t make a distinction between the … Continue reading
Last Night A DJ Killed My Dog #003 – The 1930s
My original plans for this week’s podcast had to be hastily shelved when I realised there were only 13mbs of space left for me to use. Instead of skipping a week here’s an alternative – a mono pod with sounds … Continue reading
