bavawave: Italians Do it Better

This is how it started…

I am going to jump on #ds106radio with some synthwave for the next 50 minutes until the femtech 3 take over https://t.co/NdrxtHT3oj

This is how good it felt afterwards…

I jumped on the radio on a whim last night to try and do some groundwork for the headlining Sunday Special featuring the great Anne-Marie Scott, Maren Deepwell, and Tannis Morgan.

As usual we are slow to announce…

LISTEN UP! @tanbob @marendeepwell and @ammienoot will be doing our special Sunday thing again this weekend. 09:00 PST / 17:00 GMT on #ds106radio

I wanted to play some of the synthwave tunes I discovered one the Italians Do It Better website/youtube channel thanks to this Tweet from Paul Bond while he was broadcasting a fine needle-dropping vinylcast of Brian Eno and David Byrne on #ds106radio:

By the way, are you familiar with the @IDIB label? I think you'd appreciate their visual aesthetic, whether you like the music or not

It’s awesome that ds106radio is still delivering the goods, it is moments like this on the radio via Twitter that the web feels like friends hanging out sharing what they love, which is the best feeling of both connection and growth. And then when folks actually listen to your radishow? SWOON!

This show was fun and fairly tight at 50 minutes, so I wanted to get it on the bavaradio site with the idea of sometime soon backfilling the bavaradio catalogue given I have a ton of shows just sitting in my Audio Hijack folder that have never seen the light of the web since their inception.
