It really isn’t, what with private school fees, ski-ing lessons and maintaining two decent dressage horses, for heaven’s sake! Well, if Jeremy Hunt’s “woman from Godalming” teaches us anything, it is that poverty is all relative. Still, it is curious that only a Tory politician could show compassion for a person who is, by anybody’s standards, stunningly wealthy, while at the same time attempting to criminalise rough sleepers. This week’s show encompasses, inter alia: sweary fuzz psych and hard rock from Manchester, frantic new wave and art rock from Leeds and Stoke, glitchy drone rock from Beirut, evanescent jazz pop from East Anglia and Bristol and a gigantic slab of dream psych from Russian exiles. And euphoric Argentinian synth-rock from Berlin. OG OR MAN – music to put you in a right mood.

It’s St Patrick’s day! And you know what that means, right? Citizens of the world drinking Guinness and Jamiesons like there’s no tomorrow. I’m certain that the 5th century potentate would approve. “Hic”, as they say in the old Latin. Pictured here are my nephews Páraic and Paddy enjoying a pint of the black stuff in a pub in Dublin. Páraic’s da is called Patrick and their great grandfather was Pato. Which is just about the Irishest thing ever. Except Paddy is German. Tune in for a sup of the craythur with OG OR MAN Featuring, inter alia: idiotic novelty songs about St Patrick and his preferred mode of transport (it’s a Honda Civic of course…), Irish pubs and drinking, new releases from Manchester including bangers of the psych, punk, slacker rock and poetic rap persuasions (and whatever Marytown is), the sort of gospel jazz that for some reason gets played on 80s US college radio and Gilles Peterson live sets, and Ainu upopo folk from Japan, which sounds bloody odd and, indeed it is, but it’s also breathtakingly beguiling.

Adrift was originally conceived to be listened to in the space between the conscious and the unconscious, which is why it goes out between 11pm and midnight. I’ve always been interested in the in-between, be it The Shipping Forecast or Indian Ragas that are composed for specific times of day. For this piece I recorded the sound of the traffic outside my house, last Tuesday between 11pm and midnight and while that was happening I got the instruments out and had a play. Hope you enjoy the result.

Bob Holmes of SUSS is joined by David Moore, Peter Silberman and Nick Principe of the jambient band Cowboy Sadness to discuss influences and favorite new music, including Air, Bill Orcutt, Nathan Salsburg, Mountains and much more.

Welcome to adrift 12.
