The Bendy Thing Between Your Shoulder and Your Wrist

Leaders of the Free World.  ELBOW

This album has haunted me for about 5 years. I first heard it during a really strange transition time in my life and it really gripped my soul. Its beautifully produced, performed and written. A really top shelf production that appeals to all kinds of tastes, its got some great grooves and really quiet moments appear like street lights on a foggy night. Its beautiful in parts and elegant in its restraint. I have not been able to really approach this bands other albums but this one is a modern masterpiece that's totally slipped under the radar of most - I rarely use that term - listen to this album - its like sipping wine on a still beach and falling in love.

Icons of the 80's

I had no idea how funny this film clip was, in fact I thought it was a piss-take of the original but its not, its just a pure aussie icon from the 80's.

Listen Live to Hand Jive on Internet Radio

In 2011 Hand Jive will be broadcasting an internet radio channel live for one hour each week

The broadcast is called Afros and Cadillacs and it will be a one hour show dedicated to the best funk, soul and rare groove.

So How Do I Listen to the Set?

To listen you will need to be on your computer at the time the set goes to air - then simply cut and paste the URL below into your web browser address bar, save it as a favourite and then all you have to do is re-open that page each week at the broadcast time and the set will start playing.

http://121.223.88.234:8000/listen.m3u

The set will open in your iTunes or Windows Player.

Only 10 people at a time can listen to the set due to server restrictions.

When Will the Sets Go to Air?

Good question, as I have not started officially broadcasting yet I will contact my followers and see what suits them best, I predict it will be during business hours on a week-day when most of us are at our computers working away. A good blast of funk and soul will get you toe-tapping and in just the right mood to get through the rest of the working day....

If you are interested in hearing the show check back here for broadcast times in mid January or become a follower and I will contact you.
