Here’s the playlist for Chris T-T’s Midnight Campfire episode #51, first broadcast Wed 12 Aug 2015. Man, I love this show: gems in the first hour, a Campfire Songbook entry from Joan Baez and then a themed second hour of mind-bending music from the end of the world. I had to do a lot of work with the swear-knob for FM radio, to play out the Sun Ra masterpiece but the online link is uncensored (we don’t worry about Offcom on the Interwebs). Anyway, LISTEN TO THE SHOW and here’s what I played…
