Finders Keepers Radio Show Ten Years Of Finders Keepers Records Part Two

Posted on: October 19th, 2015 by Doug

Returning to the comfort of Dr. Pete Mitchell’s king size psychiatrist couch, FK UK’s pointed-head-honcho’s Andy Votel and Doug Shipton top and tail in this second consultation of radiophonic regressive therapy. Recounting fuzzy facts, figures and fables from Finders Keepers ongoing cross-continental pop pilgrimage AV, DS and PM start their second vinyl voyage in 1970’s Hungary taking a scenic route through Iran, Pakistan, Australia, Germany, Spain, France, America and bonny Scotland crossing-off catalogue numbers from FKR017 to the rather apt “33rd” release in the process. MARVEL at little-known facts about lesser-known acts! HEAR untold tales about unsold sales! JOIN the search party for lost pop archaeology! TUNE IN to the untuned! CHANGE the way you use your ear’oles! In an age where the Western pop industry cultivates musical metathesiophobia and readily rewards airhead repeaters Finders Keepers continues to release risky records without checking passports or birth dates. With this in mind the records we liberated between March 2008 and June 2010 (as highlighted herein) should individually sound like nothing else in your record collection and if you disagree, you should come and join us at The Keepers Cottage, there’s a bottle of spud plonk or a Turkish teabag here with your name on it.

FINDERS KEEPERS RADIO SHOW SYNTH SPECIAL

Posted on: October 5th, 2015 by Doug

After our long capricious summer temporarily leaving the keepers cottage in the hands of the local freakish fauna, our radio show regulars Andy Votel, Pete Mitchell and Doug Shipton return from Northern volks festivals, Balearic knolls and other earthly plains to rewire our minds, erect the mast and paint the town metallic. With a show packed with enough analog electro machinery to send Gwynedd’s electric mountain into overdrive we present our oft mooted synthesiser spezial complete with an entire network of vintage voltage vinyl spanning continents and copper components while transcending decades between 1956 and 2167 recurring. Trapped in our magnetic current we have special guest appearances from Andy (T.R.A.S.E) Popplewell and the return of ferric annelid Tape Worm accompanied by a rather disharmonious guest who all help inspect the history of electronic chamber music, tape manipulation, electro acoustic musings, domestic synth pop and too much rare library music (if there could ever be such a thing). So plug in, turn on and pass out as the Finders Keepers radio show returns to amaze and erase music history as you know it. What’s the buzz?
