Cabinet of Curiosities Show 43 – I never promised you a Rose Garden

“Sometimes since I’ve been in the garden I’ve looked up through the trees at the sky and I have had a strange feeling of being happy as if something was pushing and drawing in my chest and making me breathe fast. Magic is always pushing and drawing and making things out of nothing. Everything is made out of magic, leaves and trees, flowers and birds, badgers and foxes and squirrels and people. So it must be all around us. In this garden – in all the places.”
— Frances Hodgson Burnett (The Secret Garden)

Time to relax and sit in the garden.

We guarantee that the only Wasp in this show is Mad…..

Tea in china cups, little sandwiches, maybe a secret gin cocktail in the teapot…?

You are all welcome to the Curious Garden Party……

Cabinet of Curiosities Show 42 – The Mixtape Experiment

“A good compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do. You’ve got to kick off with a corker, to hold the attention…..and then you’ve got to up it a notch, and you can’t have white music and black music together, unless the white music sounds like black music, and you can’t have two tracks by the same artist side by side, unless you’ve done the whole thing in pairs, and … oh there are loads of rules.”
― Nick Hornby, High Fidelity

The Great Mixtape Experiment.

Cabinet of Curiosities Show 41 – Same Title, Different Song

Words have meaning. And Names have power.
The universe began with a word, you know.
But which came first?
The word or the thought behind the word?

There are only so many words out there,
so it’s inevitable that songs will wind up with the same title…..they’re rarely similar though, which can always be fun if you happen to find the wrong song….

Tonight, we bring you a selection of curiosities that both sound the same….and also very, very different!
