Pumping On Your Stereo
Episode 23
Set the controls for 2 hours of positive playback as Steve Miller delivers another colourful palette of upbeat and energetic tunes from the past eight (8!) decades, curated and collated to soundtrack 120 minutes of your day.
Along with a ton of musical anecdotes and detail, there’s songs by barbarians and cannibals covering everything from pyromania to one-handed drummers!
There’s also regular features in the form of ‘mixeR’, which this time around delivers a hip-hop spin on a psych-rock classic; ‘Versus’ which for this episode pits the ladies against the gents as two very different songs with the same name slug it out to see which deserves its title; and the always engrossing ‘Cover Story’ where, here, New Wave Berlin nightlife is delivered through a reggae-tinged lens.
Go on, make your day by hitting play and get yourself pumped!
