Nick Luscombe with a Valentine's Day playlist
Nick Luscombe selects adventurous songs for Valentine's Day, including tracks by Charles 'Chick' Ganimian, The Magnetic Fields, Cal Valentine, Duster Valentine and Matt Valentine.
Nick selects songs for sonically adventurous lovers on this starry-eyed day. If you're Valentine-less tonight please accept these odes and twisted little love notes from around the world.
There'll be a funny valentine from Charles 'Chick' Ganimian, two love songs from the Magnetic Fields, and nominatively-appropriate appearances from Cal Valentine, Duster Valentine and Matt Valentine.
Plus, hear music from the late experimental composer Basil Kirchin, who features on Late Junction all week, and Tim Buckley, born 70 years ago today.
Produced by Jack Howson for Reduced Listening.
