15.03.12 Minki's Magic Moments - A problem shared...

99 problems ...

The world, it seems, is full of problems. From the people who roll up on Jeremy Kyle’s show wanting to know ‘whoda favver’ to proper ‘is the EU about to go bankrupt?’ serious stuff, it’s all there. We feel guilty for being happy, guilty for not being the shape of someone who has been photoshopped for 4 hours, guilty about our carbon footprint, about drinking, about not drinking ... when is it going to end? Of course, this all sounds like a very serious show blog. The fact that I have ‘the other JT’ as guest producer (him from the insane Crawling Home show’) and also the now ubiquitous Mr Interruption, it will no doubt quickly descend into silliness. After all, as they say, laughter is the best medicine! As always, songs loosely connected in some way to ‘problems’ will pepper our ramblings with a great independent soundtrack.

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?

01.03.12 Minki's Magic Moments - Words are all I have ...

And in the beginning was the Word.

Those of you who follow me on Twitter and Facebook will know how pedantic I am about certain failures in grammar and spelling. I don’t profess to be perfect, but I do think there are some basic rules that nowadays are just overlooked. Tonight’s show is all about grocers’ apostrophes, your and you’re, typos and spelling, with stories sent in from listeners. The playlist consists of bands and songs with exceptions to the rule, interesting words, semantics and missing apostrophes.

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.

19.01.11 Minki's Magic Moments - 'New Year Revolution'

And so, it’s a new year and everyone’s path is paved with good intentions. New Year’s Resolutions; those little things we think up in December to make life a little better next year, or so we think. But do they really change our lives?

Rather than New year ReSolutions, I want new Year ReVolutions. REALLY changing something in life. Things like, changing Tuesday to Shoesday, banning coffee from EVER touching sugar, having PROPER music history lessons in school so kids know who Bach AND The Rolling Stones are, making unlawful use of apostrophes a punishable offence (possibly by rotten vegetable throwing in stocks, in homage to the Grocers’ Apostrophe name) and banning headphone wearing from people on pushbikes and crossing the road (which isn’t perhaps as silly as that sounds).

Anyway, your playlist tonight is peppered with gems that reflect the New Year, with its time of change, abstention, overdoing it and general New Year type stuff, including a leaked track, as yet unheard, from the forthcoming Limozine album. I have been given special permission to play it and what’s more, being called Girls Don’t, it even fits in with the show theme!

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.

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.
