#399 A Couple o' Long Songs (10th Aug 2025)

Finally! Back in the studio to deliver 2 hours of “fantastic” radio. The summer is always tricky as we’re away more often than we’re on the air. Not that you lot would know, as you’re The Listen Again Crew. We like you though, as you sometimes message us nice things about the show a few weeks after broadcast. Which is nice.This week’s show is a little different. Steve had an existential crisis while making it, so he’s mixed it up. A bit. It’s not massively different.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more!SHOW NOTESFu Manchu playing in the Swiss AlpsLo Sound Desert - the origin of desert rock (documentary, 2016)Benji B's Carnival Comedown 2019 by Old School Tapes | MixcloudBombin' - 1987 Documentary About British Graffiti and Hip-Hop CultureAphex Twin: [mostly mellow] for SupremeTRACKLISTINGFu Manchi - Saturn IIIKing Curtis - Night TrainElia y Elizabeth - AlegríaDennis Brown - AfricaDennis Brown - Africa DubJackie Mittoo and The Soul Vendors - Ba-Ba-BoomDJ Shadow - Dark Days (Main Theme)Bunji Garlin – The StruggleBusy Twist - Floor ExcitementMD X-Spress - God Made Me PhunkyJulio Bashmore - Battle For Middle You (Original Mix)Moog Dub - 2562Goldie - Timeless (I.
