Radio OwlsNest - Episode 13 - On Air With Martin Page

” Radio Owlsnest Episode 13 “ Return to the nest, all wild OwlHeads! Return unto thy nest! It’s time for episode 13 with your untethered, untamed host, ‘Pagey’. This month’s extravaganza touches upon religiosity, with Saturday nights at the dance hall being ‘MY’ personal youthful religion. I’ll be playing a spanking new track that urges us to visit the sacred house of the dance and the groove - that holy building of the funk, shrine of the beat. The credence of the song: ‘Everybody’s got to find their own true God’. Yes - I think that’s true, don’t you? Also I’ll be premiering a brand new instrumental track from my forthcoming ambient album, being finalized now as we speak. And please join me for a sneak peek again, into a very special project of mine (soon to be released), an intimate diary album called ‘Fugitive Pieces’. An album I hold dear. I’ll be alighting upon a terrifying moment when I was producing the great Sir Tom Jones, and he cut me down to size mercilessly .... shrinking my ego down to a minuscule blob of quivering pathetic uncertainty. I’ll spin a song that I wrote with Bernie Taupin, one of my favorite collaborations with him, that deals with the minefield of fame and the uncertainty of growing old. Zeke Monroe and the Flasheads will make another flamboyant appearance - reminding us that the 80s are very much still alive and well, in Munich Germany. Abstract philosophical humor seems to be right up Zeke’s creative alley. Among the rare and forgotten odds and sods from my cobwebbed song vault, the obnoxious and bewildering quiz will make an unwelcome return... I can hear the groans from here! All in all, my fellow OwlHeads, I fancy Episode 13 is not at all an unlucky omen - but I hope a fun little side distraction away from all the political and cultural uncertainty of our present time. Music - still is and always has been for me - an escape into brighter landscapes, a retreat into the wider open imagination, a true sanctuary. So return unto the nest all feral OwlHeads! It’s time to musically hibernate once again. - Martin
