Heavy Friends
Saturday September 28th, 2024 with Heavy Lina and Jas Nasty
Music that feels like water

Water is a powerful symbol, often seen as an antidote to life’s harshness. It embodies calm, healing, and resilience. In today’s show, we’ll dive into how various genres of music capture the essence of water—its fluidity, its slow movement, its soothing nature, and its transformative power. Enjoy the show!

Next up Jas Nasty with her selection of water inspired tunes right here on CKCU!
Putting this mix together was indeed a flowing process - the inspiration began along the Sturgeon river, with the basis of Nick Drake's 'River Man' I wanted to set a dreamy, melancholy tone - and when I remembered the Brian Eno by this River song, the theme was set. Every song I found or remembered with this river theme seemed to fit the mood. I found myself reconnecting with songs I had had on tapes as a teen, Enya, Robbie Robertson, Leonard Cohen, R.E.M, PJ Harvey, the Doors, Tim Buckley.... 60s meets 90s in a wistful melange.

More water! Makes me want to go for a swim. Or tilt a canoe way low. Some time in August was a previous visit to H2O i believe?

Hi PeterB! There’s just something about its calmness and power that Jas and I find endlessly inspiring, so we decided to do a collab. Thanks for tuning in!
