On BBC's "Download Show" + TunATheDay again!
Things are picking up alarmingly for Worldview’s Mr Oliver Shaw as he finds himself featured both on online music-buff sites and on the good old-fashioned wireless. You can hear him talking about his sideline as Junkfood Jones in Desmond Chancer & The Long Memories to BBC Radio Oxford The Download Show’s Tim Bearder, then diplomatically trying to chose their demo of the week, here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/oxford/content/articles/2005/10/14/download_team.shtml. The show went out on Saturday 15th March at 6pm and will remain online for the rest of the week. Oliver is interrogated on his mobile at around the 30min mark. And here, in an exclusive for all Vox readers, is a recently completed Desmond Chancer track, the majestic, ethereal and rain-sodden "Chasing A Dream". Featuring O. Shaw Esq on piano, guitar and production duties:
Meanwhile those nice folk at www.tunatheday.com have made a second Worldview track, "So Fearless", their Catch Of The Day for Monday 17th March (having featured "One Rule For You" a few weeks back). The song features on the recent "Our Condition" album which should shortly be for sale on I-Tunes, with a slightly revised tracklisting. TunA the Day’s Ade has noted a resemblance to Prince (musical rather than physical), and his choice of "So Fearless" is made all the more poignant by the fact that the lust-object who inspired it clearly no longer wants Oliver looking at her Facebook profile (sigh!). Hear the track below:
And he will be playing with his Worldview at Oxford’s Purple Turtle, where entry is free and the beer is almost free, this very Friday night, possibly chancing a debut rendition of the even more Prince-ly "Message 2 U"!! It’s almost too much...
