22.12.11 Minki's Magic Moments - "Dirty Dozen"

There are 12 days of Christmas. However, I always think that really, we have 12 days before as well as the 12 days after. It’s not that I want 24 presents, you understand, but you can’t help feeling more festive in those 2 weeks before Christmas, even if you are a bit Bah Humbug. And so, tonight, for your delectation we have 12 favourites from 2011 and 12 new tracks that will be our future favourites. (I was going to do an ‘out with the old, in with the new theme, but a. it didn’t sound right, as it’s not really OUT with the old, and b. Alex from The Forum did something similar a couple of weeks ago and I shan’t be accused of copying!) Some of these will, of course be stuffed handily into our regular brackets of ‘Double Whammy’ and ‘Snap’, but there will also, quite possibly be some listeners’ requests, just to upset the theme and my themic OCD.

We will also be deciding which Quality Street is the most quality (IS it the big Purple one as QS themselves insist?) See the results here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AriXAMefAzyYdEYxQ2VOZTNFWUhPNm9FQlFIRVNacmc

Instead of ‘Something for the Weekend’ there are 12 web favourites for your perusal, and of course these are all handily placed together and even wrapped with a big 50ft ribbon, just for you. (not really) See here: http://50ft.net/MMMNo23

Minki’s Magic Moments is back on the 19th January, so, until 2012, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to eveyone!

08.12.11 Minki's Magic Moments - 'All I want for Christmas...'

Tonight’s playlist is all about the run up to Christmas. That inevitable moment when you find that your shopping bags are more full of things for you, than for the people you set out to buy for. I have countenanced that this year by shopping online, but even then, it’s still not easy. Justifying a lunch time browsing on ASOS when you are meant to be shopping for a small boy is not that easy!

Still, no need to panic. Right at this minute, why don’t you pull up the laptop, and listen to the show while you browse your favourite shopping website, whether it be for you or someone else. But don’t forget to pop in the chat room and say hello. Of course, if you are reading this because you missed the show and have subscribed to the podcast or are catching up on any of the well-known social media sites, then stick the show on your iPod and let me accompany you around the tricky shopping time. You’ve still got 23 days left. Eek!

I'd love to know what you think of the tonight's tracks - what do you like/not like/what do you want to hear more of? Of course if you have something that gives you a magic moment, let me know - minki@rechargedradio.com, so I can read it out on the show.

24.11.11 Minki's Magic Moments

Today it’s Thanksgiving in the US of A. Ah yes, I hear you cry, but we are not IN the USA (well some of you might be, but by this time you will be starting to stuff the turkey). BUT, BUT, this will be the first ever year that I am having a Thanksgiving dinner, this very weekend. It’s also a holiday that I wish we WOULD adopt here in the UK. Why? Because Americans apparently focus so much on Thanksgiving that Christmas doesn’t even feature until afterwards, something I am quite passionate about. Here in the UK we are starting WAY too early.

And so, tonight’s playlist is dedicated not only to Thanksgiving (OK, some of the links are rather tenuous) but also the second half of the show will be all about Black Friday, and the tracks or bands will involve the word Black!

There are the usual treats such as ‘Snap’, (this week it’s “Limousine”), Double Whammy from The Scratch ( a little bird tells me Mr Andy may pop in), Something For The Weekend (so bring a notebook) and topics such as Guilty Pleasures, Minki’s Moments and things neighbours do to annoy you.

I'd love to know what you think of the tonight's tracks - what do you like/not like/what do you want to hear more of? Of course if you have something that gives you a magic moment, let me know - minki@rechargedradio.com, so I can read it out on the show.

10.11.11 Minki's Magic Moments - '20 Greatest Hits'

It’s not what you think; already a yearly retrospective rounding up all those tracks I’ve been playing. Oh no, well, maybe half is. I received a new track from Limozine entitled Twenty Greatest Hits and I have been dying to play it. Due to circumstances, i haven’t been able to … until now! And so, in honour of this occasion, the show’s theme is, yes, 20 Greatest Hits. Also, appropriately and spookily, this is also the 20th show! Celebrations all round.

To mix it up a bit, I have handpicked 10 of my all time favourites, and 10 new tracks that could well be this show’s future greatest hits, plus some more goodies such as new feature Double Whammy and old favourite Missing in Action. Of course, this also means that we need more time, and so I’ve had permission to talk a bit longer than normal; 2 hours in fact! Whether I can manage this after being to used to hourly show chunks, is another matter, but let’s see. I’m also hoping my stinking cold won’t impair the show. If all else fails we will just play more music :)

I'd love to know what you think of the tonight's tracks - what do you like/not like/what do you want to hear more of? Of course if you have something that gives you a magic moment, let me know - minki@rechargedradio.com, so I can read it out on the show.

18.08.11 Minki's Magic Moments

I did try to avoid a soundtrack themed by the riots, but you know what? It proved impossible. So I gave in. This is a full on, angry, passionate playlist, which fully illustrates the last two weeks. I'm not really going to talk too much about it all, it's far too political and heavy for a one hour show. Instead, interweaved by the 'riot' playlist, will be lighthearted nonsense, nice things to do, nice things to look at on the interweb, possibly some form of confectionery and definitely the double-entendre or two. All things to take your mind off it all.

04.08.11 Minki's Magic Moments

There has been a lot of talk lately about language, about grammar and about words in general. If you follow you me on Twitter (@50ftwoman) you will know I had a good old pedantic rant about the new acceptance of "your" instead of "you're". And that was just for starters. I love words and language, and so thought I would base my playlist this week on a similar topic; All of the songs or bands tonight have been picked because I liked their name. OK, they then had to be good, but on first glance, the name inspired me to listen. Some are for more obvious reasons than others, so see if you can see why I picked them!

I'd love to know what you think of the tonight's tracks - what do you like/not like/what do you want to hear more of? Of course if you have something that gives you a magic moment, let me know - minki@rechargedradio.com, so I can read it out on the show.

21.07.11 Minki's Magic Moments - 'Summer Holidays'

And so as July appears to have done a job swap with April, it's that time .. the time we think about Summer and holidays, and so this week's theme is all based around that. Of course, it's unpredictable, who knows what might happen, we pray for sun and ice cream, and we might get showers and bad cockles. Whether you are holidaying at home or away, this week's music will hopefully take you on a journey of its own, leaving at Heatrhow and hopefully ending up somewhere exotic and sultry, rather than some soggy services on the M1.

I'd love to know what you think of the tonight's tracks - what do you like/not like/what do you want to hear more of?

07.07.11 Minki's Magic Moments - 'British GP F1 Special'

OK, so you don't all like F1, so you may not appreciate this week's theme BUT it is the British GP this weekend, AND if you listen to this show regularly you will know how obsessed with F1 I am. And so following last show's announcement, I decided to go the whole hog and base this week's playlist around F1! All the tracks relate to someone or something F1, some more tentative than others .. but hey ho! You don't HAVE to like F1 to enjoy the show, you just have to love music ... if you love both, all the better. Sit back, relax and let me entertain you for the next hour.

In the immortal words of Mr Murray Walker .... Minki's Magic Moments are GO GO GO

23.06.11 Minki's Magic Moments - 'Like A Virgin'

I got some great news this week! if you listen to this show regularly you'll know my passion for all things F1. To combine my 2 great loves; music and F1 is a dream come true. So getting the news that 50ft Woman has been invited to play at the Marrussia Virgin Race Weekend at the British GP at Silverstone is just a bit too much. After picking myself up from the floor, I decided to do something to celebrate - and so I give you *drum roll* - the Like a Virgin edition (see what I did there?). And so tonight's playlist is all totally brand new to the show - new music, virgin to the MMM ears. 

My guest on the show is the appropriately 'virgin to Recharged Radio', The Shepherd himself, 50ft drummer, Axel Lewis! he brings cupcakes, which means he is already part of the RR team , mwahahahah.

I'd love to know what you think of the tonight's tracks - what do you like/not like/what do you want to hear more of? I'd love to know what you want to hear on the regular playlist .. and of course if you have something that gives you a magic moment, let me know - minki@rechargedradio.com, so I can read it out on the show.

09.06.11 Minki's Magic Moments - 'Rage/Relax Edition'

After receiving the latest single from Black Circles, entitle Final Straw, it was quite appropriate for the sort of day I had, whilst also hurriedly putting together a playlist. It therefore all began to fall around the theme of Rage/Relax so all songs reflect on or the other. There are offerings from fellow Recharged Radio Alt Escape gig friends; The Scratch (course), The Furbelows and of course the aforementioned Black Circles.

In the first show from the new secret Recharged bunker, which proved to be quite toasty, there was also the usual F1 talk, Magic Moments from not only me, but also snoozy producer Jordan (*poke* wake up) and also Deejay Mumin who hung around after her show. You'll also FINALLY get to hear  the brand new MMM jingles, long overdue.

Yes yes, not everyone likes the idea of celebrating the Royal Wedding. Well I say, any excuse for a party, and so all tracks tonight are to do with either Love or Royalty. If I could put bunting on the radio, I would, so just assume that everything is tinged with red, white or blue. And this week's Magic Moment? .. well quite appropriate really, considering this week's theme, but you will just have to listen to find out!
