First show of 2026, a New Year's resolution to play a track from Tim Buckley's "Greetings From L.A." every show, it's a great album from 1972 not to be forgotten. It leads neatly to a set from women blues singers about sex. Shaking the reins for 2026.

This week on Swap Meet Radio, we're moving through some favorites from the collection - Michał Urbaniak (RIP), the Visioneers, Lucas Arruda, and a couple from the new Nas and Preemo, and the current fave from ELIZA. Throw in some Turkish funk with Nese Karaböcek, Brazilian vibes from El Michels Affair and Rogê, and that DNA version of "Tom's Diner" tucked in there too. Kirk drifts into some boogie and soul with France Joli, the Ritchie Family, and Rockie Robbins, plus summer tracks from the McCrays and Ben & The Tight Squeeze Band. A little bit of everything - Paul Hardcastle, Freeez, Str4ta. Good music!

Happy new, yeh? x Thanks to Decibel Wines.
