April showers can't take his powers. It's the return of Finders Keepers' Andy Votel and his Songs of Insolence. On episode 39 (!) of Songs of Insolence, Votel will tempt you with the contemptuous and impart the impertinent. Starting with overambitious motivational music. Why not?

It all kicks off with possibly the best piece of library music ever made...

ANDY VOTEL - RANDOMONIUM NTS RADIO SHOW- FEB 26 2022 by Finders Keepers Records

They say cleanliness is next to Godliness. Well prepare to be brainwashed on Songs Of Insolence with Andy Votel from Finders Keepers. For the next next golden hour, there are no refunds, recompenses, rules or regulations or rights to reply; subtitles not included, the interludes of the deluded.

It's Island Night on Global Ginga! There is an "island" element in today's episode that I hope will leave you mesmerized. To our local listeners, the best part is that you can watch these artists live here on our Stanford campus! Small Island Big Song is a music, film, live project featuring over a hundred musicians across 16 island nations of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, creating a contemporary and relevant musical statement of a region in the frontline of cultural and environmental challenges. The album & film were composed, recorded, shot and overdubbed in nature, on the artists' custodial land. The 2022 tour shares their new album "Our Island!" Drawing on a roster of respected first nation islander artists, the concert features musicians performing irresistible oceanic grooves to soulful island ballads. Combining music, spoken word and live cinema with AV projections featuring footage collected during a 3-year film trip across 16 countries guided by the artists on their homelands. They will be here on Feb 9th! Nella is a new voice hailing from the island of Margarita in Venezuela. She graduated from Berklee College of Music to immediately become the winner of the 2019 Latin GRAMMY® Award for Best New Artist. That same year, her full-length debut, Voy (I Go) written and produced by Javier Limón for Casa Limón Records, received acclaim from NPR and yielded the hit “Me Llaman Nella” (They Call Me Nella) which surpassed 1.4 million Spotify streams and 1.4 million views on YouTube. In addition, the title track was named the 14th best song of 2019, in any genre, by the New York Times. Nella's music is a meeting place for the folklore roots of her native Venezuela, contemporary influences, and the music of Andalusia, Spain. At the beginning of 2020 Nella signed with Sony Music Records and released her new album “Doce Margaritas” on 2021 which you can hear on today's episode of Global Ginga. You will also hear "Me Llaman Nella," her signature hit, "Volaré," her 2022 release with Pedro Capo, plus a couple of songs more from her Voce Margaritas album and the single, Mi Guitarra, a sweet bolero with Juan Luis Guerra. I finish off with an album by World renowned BBC Radio 1 DJ Gilles Peterson, Gilles Peterson, on Far Out Recordings, released initially on vinyl in 2009. A bit of jazz, funk, soul and electronic. World renowned BBC Radio 1 DJ Gilles Peterson compiles a spectacular collage mix tape from the vaults of Far Out Recordings for this fifteenth anniversary celebration. A close friend to Joe Davis for 25 years, Gilles Peterson has been a constant supporter of the original and best UK based Brazilian record label. The pair released the original ‘Brazilika' compilation on Gilles' Talking Loud label 15 years ago and now go full circle with the fourth installment in Far Out's series following block party mixes from Kenny Dope, 4 Hero and Andy Votel. Brazilian music aficionados Peterson and Davis introduced a new generation to the cream of Brazil's bossa and post-bossa artists and here expertly blend the timeless with the new breed from Far Out's vast catalogue. Gilles Peterson's ‘Brazilika' includes five exclusive unreleased tracks and is the definitive collection of Far Out's work, taking us on a breathless ride through a beautiful and barmy Brazil. Stretch the circle wider! There are many music genres and artists coming to Stanford from all corners of the world! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/global-ginga/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/global-ginga/support

Andy Votel presents the salubrious, victorious and slightly tedious return of Songs of Insolence.

On episode 6 of Songs of Insolence, Andy Votel welcomes Mancunian special guest Jimi Goodwin of Doves.

Last month, Andy Votel put out his Midlife Crisis Disco Mixtape on limited cassette and it sold out in minutes. However, the English producer, designer and DJ has very kindly given us the exclusive honour of releasing the mixtape digitally, for the very first time, through our podcast series. He is, of course the man behind reissue label Finders Keepers as well as Twisted Nerve, and has released a wealth of music under various pseudonyms on labels like XL. He is someone who is utterly free from categorisation having mixed jazz and hip hop at The Hacienda, documented the history of Welsh protest music on BBC Radio 4, collaborated with Demdike Stare, Suzanne Ciani and Gruff Rhys, and produced for Badly Drawn Boy amongst a lifetime of other dizzyingly diverse projects such as presenting radio shows for Gilles Peterson and NTS. As the title suggests, his latest mixtape is focussed on outsider disco, and is made from original vinyl pressings only. Like the tens of others he has done over the years, it’s a masterclass jam packed with heat, propped up by funky drums and run through with boogie baselines or soaring strings. The tape brims with squelchy synthesiser colour and features vocals in a range of languages that lend it a worldwide feel and global appeal. It’s one for the ages, that’s for sure.

Stepping out of a six month hibernation with our best foot forward, Finders Keepers Records Radio Show returns from our beauty sleep to a breakfast of French toast, croissants, strong coffee and a refreshing pint of petrol with-a-rag-stuffed-in-the-top! Marking 50 years exactly since the Mai 68 riots in Paris, your faithful hosts take you on a two hour journey in recognition of the huge and immediate cultural shift in French art, literature and music including the rise of forward-thinking, philosophical, thematic pop music which made France the forerunners and undisputed maverick masters of the concept album. Discussing a genre that arguably peaked with Serge Gainsbourg and Jean-Claude Vannier's notorious Histoire De Melody Nelson, your faithful FKRR hosts, Andy Votel, Doug Shipton and Pete Mitchell dig much much deeper into their vintage vinyl vaults to trace the sonic origins of feature-length French Psychedelia while they attempt to authenticate the first French concept album and trace a bloodline of existential spoken word French Funk and gritty fuzz-fuelled symphonic rock which would go-on to shape the future sound of all French pop and its inimitable sprawling legacy. Punctuated with tracks from the insanely rare Popera Cosmic LP (an LP devised by teenagers Francois Wertheimer and Jean-Michel Jarre) which formed the foundations of the Gallic galactic narrative psychpop phenomena, this two hour special hopes to open your eyes and ears to a world you always wanted to explore, but perhaps never knew existed, with an interchangeable cast and family tree that eventually branched out to the start of French cosmic disco and synth pop while influencing the sampled sound of progressive European pop music for almost a semi-century. From science fiction to malediction... From astrology to astronomy... From hypnosis to psychosis... via stone faces to cabbage heads...this show hears a fine return to form for Finders Keepers, celebrating controversial lost-pop and a bygone political hotbeds which they might call their perfect comfort zone. It's gonna be hard to cram it all in into one show but "The Revolution Will Not Be Sequelised". Ceci n'est pas une POP.

'Tis the season to be explicitly self-explanatory... Yule never hear another radio show like this because snowbody does it quite like the Finders Keepers Records Christmas congregation etc. Expect turkey from Turkey, festive French fuzz, mince pies from Melbourne, magnetic melodies from Moominvalley, Tamil tinsel and plenty of Kristmas krautrock amongst other under-the-counter shocking stocking fillers. Oh yeah, and we've also got Paul McCartney from The Beatles on the show with us, sharing sporadic chatter and make-shift Christmas singalongs with our regular presenters Andy Votel, Pete Mitchell, Doug Shipton and returning guests John McCready with James Pianta from Australian label Roundtable Records. This all vinyl (and sometimes even cassette) fuelled radiophonic transmission puts a rosy red cherry on the top of another fine year of monthly odd pop radio shows from Finders Keepers "accidental world music" record label - making global sound local since 2005 while popping a cosmic cork over the 2017 threshold after simply having a wonderful Christmas time! Buon Natale, Nadolig Llawen, Wesołych Świąt and Feliz Navidad to every man, woman, child and Moomin for this seasonal psychedelic sitting.

Unheard and unreleased tracks by Suzanne Ciani, Jane Weaver's Fenella, Gerry & The Holograms (and more!) make up this silver tray of sonic hors d'oeuvres magnetising you to the mountains of North Wales for this special September annual event. Just in time for our annual omni-presence at Festival No Six your faithful guardians of the Keepers Cottage, Andy Votel, Pete Mitchell and Doug Shipton provide an aural tour guide to the many Finders Keepers Records' curated events over the weekend. For a festival held in the actual filming location of Patrick Magoohan's inimitable 1960's TV thriller, the B-Music brigade assemble their nearest and dearest to keep the commune cosmic, providing off-kilter treats for both the eye-drums and ear-balls. Also serving as a fine 2 hour road trip, this show cherry picks the best accompaniments for your journey into the depths of the Welsh valleys and also serves as another multifarious magnetic musik magazine for those who can't make it to the festival itself but will surely join us in spirit! Be seeing you!?

SWEAT THE SUNSHINE IN! Ideal for short breaks, long road trips, tall drinks and wide-screen couch potato salads your Finders Keepers holiday reps Andy Votel, Pete Mitchell and Doug Shipton manage to string entire sentences together while juggling exotic fuzz-ridden phonograms in celebration of sunstroke psychedelia, South American soap operas, pseudo Samba and the greatest ancient sporting festival of all time. Behold Olympic fever. Rio is our muse this month and with a lukewarm Gulf Stream between their Mancunian tootsies the guardians of the Keepers Cottage take the sacred torch and shine it on a bunch of Italian sports library LPs, some anthemic Athenian psych and twenty tonnes of Brazilian obscurities uniting São Paulo's 50c bargain bins with record fair wall pieces. Peppered with token doses of tenuous sports terminology and the usual magnetic blend of the irreverent and the irrelevant the sunshine soldiers you have learned to love, cherish and tolerate aim to sooth, groove and prove that hockey sticks and drum sticks ain't that dissimilar if you squint your ears!

OK. If this show lands on target many of our listeners will be driving in the sun, strolling on a white rocky beach or recovering from last night's paella and that extra shot of herbs… So with that in mind i'm going to keep this short. Welcome to the long-mooted and strategically timed Finders Keepers Balearic Especial. A show that does exactly what it says on the tin. Made from strictly indigenous secret ingredients with little need for preservatives or technological enhancements. For our fourteenth feature-length attempt at "Making Global Sound Local" regular Finders Keepers office dwellers and co-hosts Andy Votel, Pete Mitchell, Doug Shipton and Lee Janda use their unique brand of wax-anorak-geekery, dubious dad jokes and mountainous mispronunciations to unveil two hours of lesser-spotted Balearic uber-classics. From the islands and islets that link Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza and Formentera and continue to unite folk, funk, farmers, free-thinkers, fine food and fauna, The Finders Keepers radio hosts unearth a small selection of mid-Med microgroove discs with a trail of crumbs pointing back to the days when the first hippie communes welcomed jazzers, artists, actors and activists to those mythical retreats over 50 years ago. Including our all of our regular rigged competitions (!) and magazine features Finders Keepers also invite special guest and Manc blues prophet Victor bros who regales stories of the early days on Ibiza in the presence of a pre-Velvet Underground Nico while namedropping Don Cherry and the first free music ensembles and DJs to hit those unknown shores in the early 1960s.

Just in time for the longest UK bank holiday weekend of the year, your intrepid explorers at Finders Keepers Records bring you an epic elongated bumper episode of our regular radiophonic rare record rundown including approximately 50% extra absolutely free! This time the tangled topic of rock operas, mutant musicals and psychedelic stage shows is discussed, dissected and defended by regular hosts Andy Votel, Pete Mitchell and Doug Shipton who will be joined by a crooked chorus line including regular Keepers cottage pop patron Jane Weaver, TV's "Toast" main maestro Matt Berry, Cambrofuturist Gruff Rhys and Twisted Nerve co-founder Badly Drawn Boy (as well as the usual musings of a certain slimy crolyn cestodaria). This show is served best with an open mind and closed captioning bringing foreign language rip-offs of West End repeaters, creep show cash-ins and holiday season sequels - not forgetting token doses of horrotica, bastardised ballet and Popera Cosmic anti-classics. Marvel as your hosts play expensive Japanese cross-dresser psych sing-alongs while discussing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang standards sung by stars of adult entertainment! Relax to the sound of Minimoog movements that soundtrack the Messiah meeting The Mafia. And celebrate the annual eggsploitation vacation while our combined edutainers mention the words "Jesus", “Christ” and "Superstar" over 76 times! For listeners who aren't too high-brow to compare the work of Jodorowsky and Lloyd-Webber and think that The Wickerman should have been a Vaudevillian blockbuster then this one is for you... and if not, "Dammit, Janet!" Anything you can do, we can do... odder?

Ho-Ho-Hope you're still listening… As we come to the end of our first year of Finders Keepers transmissions and podcasts, the hibernating inhabitants of the Keepers Cottage present our biggest family gathering yet just in time for the festive season. Presenting a wide range of tenuous, strenuous and overambitious midwinter nuggets, Andy Votel, Pete Mitchell and Doug Shipton welcome a co-host cameo from our Belgian buddy Gerd "Hurt The Wild" De Wilde to help us sift through kristmas krautrock, synthesised Santa jams, festive folk funk and Lollywood Hogmanay classics in this "longer than advertised" bumper edition of our serialised music therapy sessions. Bringing good cheer to the ears of this months listeners we have surprise visits from some special stateside studio guests such as legendary synthesist Suzanne Ciani (of Buchla/Atari/Stepford Wives fame) joined by Iranian wax magnet Mahssa Taghinia (Finders Keepers US/Mount Analog) who will discuss early synth discoveries, skiing locations and cross-continental chocolate discrepancies accompanied by lesser spotted novelty records while gracefully deflecting the ill-advised humour of our admittedly inebriated hosts. Raiding the drinks cabinet and running up phone bills like babysitter on boxing day The FKRR crew also connect with some no nonsense musical legends via the Christmas miracle of technology as they speak to members of Nyah Rock movement originators Cymande as well as Phil Spector's leading Christmas angel Darlene Love. With all these special guests it's hard to imagine how we would possibly squeeze in our regular contributor Tape Worm aka The Slimy Santa without spilling egg nog on the hedgehogs in our snowy woodland retreat… but we'll try. How many versions of Silent Night can you fit in a mini??? Turn On, tune in and find out!

Returning to the comfort of Dr. Pete Mitchell's king size psychiatrist couch, FK UK's pointed-head-honcho's Andy Votel and Doug Shipton top and tail in this second consultation of radiophonic regressive therapy. Recounting fuzzy facts, figures and fables from Finders Keepers ongoing cross-continental pop pilgrimage AV, DS and PM start their second vinyl voyage in 1970's Hungary taking a scenic route through Iran, Pakistan, Australia, Germany, Spain, France, America and bonny Scotland crossing-off catalogue numbers from FKR017 to the rather apt "33rd" release in the process. MARVEL at little-known facts about lesser-known acts! HEAR untold tales about unsold sales! JOIN the search party for lost pop archaeology! TUNE IN to the untuned! CHANGE the way you use your ear'oles! In an age where the Western pop industry cultivates musical metathesiophobia and readily rewards airhead repeaters Finders Keepers continues to release risky records without checking passports or birth dates. With this in mind the records we liberated between March 2008 and June 2010 (as highlighted herein) should individually sound like nothing else in your record collection and if you disagree, you should come and join us at The Keepers Cottage, there's a bottle of spud plonk or a Turkish teabag here with your name on it.

After our long capricious summer temporarily leaving the keepers cottage in the hands of the local freakish fauna, our radio show regulars Andy Votel, Pete Mitchell and Doug Shipton return from Northern volks festivals, Balearic knolls and other earthly plains to rewire our minds, erect the mast and paint the town metallic. With a show packed with enough analog electro machinery to send Gwynedd's electric mountain into overdrive we present our oft mooted synthesiser spezial complete with an entire network of vintage voltage vinyl spanning continents and copper components while transcending decades between 1956 and 2167 recurring. Trapped in our magnetic current we have special guest appearances from Andy (T.R.A.S.E) Popplewell and the return of ferric annelid Tape Worm accompanied by a rather disharmonious guest who all help inspect the history of electronic chamber music, tape manipulation, electro acoustic musings, domestic synth pop and too much rare library music (if there could ever be such a thing). So plug in, turn on and pass out as the Finders Keepers radio show returns to amaze and erase music history as you know it. What's the buzz?

Art Decade? Despite the fact that the 200 release deep discography of the label technically spans over 60 decades of music AND the experience of both the labels head chefs counts for just about 50 years combined record nerd experience between them, it's actually hard to believe that Finders Keepers Records is only ten years old. But that's no reason to keep a party in a jar. “How exactly have Andy Votel and Doug Shipton managed to cram it all in?” I hear you ask. A totally self-sufficient independent anti-label releasing lost pop and foreign fuzz without subtitles on obsolete formats while combining the roles of detectives, designers, dramatists and disc jockeys and stacking the chairs at the end of the day? How does Finders Keepers exist? This is a tale of studio butchery, tape bakeries and burning candles at both ends (see what we did there?) and to explain the full story, with musical accompaniment it would take more than one late night at the bar/campfire/sauna/racetrack/dentists chair/safari park... but we've got to start somewhere. Basking in flattery after unanimous erect thumbs in response to our monthly bespoke radio show, Finders Keepers' Andy and Doug finally entrust long-running friend and co-host Pete Mitchell with the dubious job of psychedelic psychiastrist as they allow him to pick their maggot brains and explore the inner sanctums of the conjoined noggins that bring you Finders Keepers in all its guises. Providing everybody's done their maths correctly this will take approximately five appointments (episodes), which is a bonus, right? So, with the MULTIPLE mottoes ‘Making Global Sound Local’, ‘Making Old Records Feel Young’, ‘Accidental World Music Label’ and ‘Breaking Boundaries Before Breaking Even’ tattooed across their haggard consciousness, FK UK bring it all back home and give you TMI as you LOL and revel in Krautsploitation, Welsh Rare Beats and Well Hung funk while DS, AV and PM deliver the first course of this tin anniversary/birthday breakfast. Dig IN!!! Find OUT!!!

And The Sun Also Rises! As holiday season starts to distract us and it’s no longer safe to leave record bags in the hot boot, the residents of The Keepers Cottage decide to take a sonic vacation in this bonus edition of The Finders Keepers Radio Show with episode NUMBER SIX (cue Ron Grainer). What better numeric than the smallest positive integer to celebrate our love for all things related to The Prisoner/Portmeirion and the inimitable Festival No 6 at which Finders Keepers continue to play an integral role. Two short months in advance of our mass exodus to this North Wales nirvana our regular hosts Andy Votel, Pete Mitchell and Doug Shipton reveal line-ups for our three daily stages at the September 3rd-6th long weekender and play a varied crate of multilingual records spanning old and new prior to their festival live performances. Combining cosmic pop, pocket punk, foreign fuzz and soundtrack psych, this episode boasts exclusive debuts of brand new tracks by Gruff Rhys and David Holmes both of whom will play key roles in the Speedlearn Separado (Welsh-Patagonian) film tent followed by two days of live music from Finders Keepers and Bird Records (on the original location of Patrick McGoohan's unrivalled 60's TV location!). Joined in the studio by Electric Mountaineer Jane Weaver and Andy "T.R.A.S.E." Popplewell (1980s teenage synth surgeon) what better place to encapsulate all this sneak preview material than our regular radiophonic fuzz fanzine and what better time for the uninitiated to discover both www.findersKeepersRecords.com and www.festivalnumber6.com as your new favourite purveyors of earworms, eye candy and "ultimate cakes & treats" just in time for the warping season. As they say in Porthmadog's favourite communist ex-fed retirement village... "Be seeing you" xxxxxx

Let's cut to the chase for once... This month’s Finders Keepers Radio Show features GEORGE CLINTON and DENNIS COFFEY in person!!!! If you feel the need to read any further, on our fifth edition we ask Dr. Funkenstein himself about his favourite horror films and quiz him on the first Afro-American occult LP! Then we get "the white Jimi Hendrix" to tell us about the more obscure Sussex artists like Paul Parrish and Priscilla Coolidge while discussing his cassette only rap collection and dropping some heavyweight Coffey-breaks in between. Add a sprinkle of overused sound-effects, some O-Level amateur dramatics, tenuous micro-genres and a world record Rotary Connection namedrop count your faithful presenters Andy Votel, Pete Mitchell and Doug Shipton put a lively cast of characters in a big purple box and tie a paisley bow around it with a card that reads PSYCHEDELIC SOUL. These days the indulgent funk records that many of the Finders Keepers crew bought as teenagers are collectively worthy of their own record shop divider and with the help of childhood buddies like Mark "Boney Votel" Rathbone (and Preston soul fiend Stan), cosmic PSSW Jane Weaver, Invisible Spy Benjamin and 808 statesman Graham Massey we lay down a fine blend of obscure, obsessive, obsolete, oblivious and plain obvious spooked-out soul jams and fuzzy funk from around the globe (but mostly from the wild west). So gather round the bearskin rug for all this and much much less without a protective inner sleeve or a bottle of isopropylene in sight. The funky worm has turned... on!

This time our hungry wax detectives return to one of their most familiar feeding grounds and spotlight some of their favourite freak funk , cosmic concept LPs and Parisian prog from Gallic magnetic pastures and beyond with this French vinyl special. Our Keepers Cottage residents Andy Votel, Pete Mitchell and Doug Shipton are graced with sporadic visits from Silver Globalist Jane Weaver, Lee Janda and the tapeworm and are also joined by ex-Stereolab legend Laetitia Sadier and her band to discuss the recurring themes of madness in French pop and try and work out the meaning the mysterious post-68 No-No movement. With regular magazine features, tedious in-jokes, prizeless competitions, Olympic standard mispronunciations and music that you're unlikely to hear anywhere else, part deux of our ongoing cross continental pop pilgrimage is now online to electrify your camembert and fry your cabbage heads.

After a decade of airwave truancy and dog eating homework excuses the Finders Keepers Records family finally commit their unique blend of niche humour, obscure record knowledge, half-baked opinion, lighthearted slander and Olympic scale mispronunciations to a regular feature-length radio broadcast available to stream online and via global airwave syndicators. Soundtracked by a combined collection of the usual lost pop, misplaced foreign funk and experimental mayhem that has come to shape the ten year old label Andy Votel and Doug Shipton have joined forces with award-winning wireless veteran and local hardman Pete Mitchell (The Pete & Geoff Show) who will celebrate, vindicate and mediate between a host of likeminded guests, brave and foolish enough to grace the Keepers Cottage studio with their presence. With regular visitations from the likes of Laetitia Sadier (Stereolab), Graham Massey (Biting Tongues/808 State) and Jane Weaver (The Silver Globe) and in house japes and judgments from FK office props Lee Janda and James Pianta amongst others the label and DJ collective fly their "Making Global Local" flag at full mast spiking the world music map with thematic features and underdeveloped magazine articles to break up the Brazilian fuzz guitar solos and Russian synth workouts. Ten years in the oven with a fifty-year-old palette of vibrant outer-national noise at our disposal, welcome to the Finders Keepers Radio Show.

Andy Votel from Finders Keepers returns to present mounds of mischievous music via vintage vinyl vessels.
