Post punk at its core, but mixing in new wave/no wave/cold wave/waving not drowning/alternative/indie (thinking)/industrial/post industrial (ignore that last one)/eclectic/electro/electronic/dubstep/grime (who makes this stuff up?)/soul/northern soul/mod/modern soul/neo soul/soul jazz/jazz funk (errr… maybe)/funk/psych/popcorn (blame the Belgians)/pop (remember that?)/(roots) reggae/dancehall/breakbeat/broken beat/beats wot broke/folk/folk talking/folktronica/’D-I-S-C-O’/world (where does that start and end?)/local/lo-fi/garage/r&b/d&b (both sorts of each of those last three ‘sorts’)/house (the years that mattered)/techno/chill out/am…bi…ent…/downtempo/trip hop/hip hop (‘don’t stop!’)/oddities/rarities/the bleedin’ obvious (if you know me)/unreleased/never to be released/lost gems/lost causes/lost and found/’found sounds’ (ahem)/mash-ups/unofficial re-edits*… and that one your mum actually liked. A banjo might occasionally crop up, but I’ll warn you, it’s only fair. Moodswings eternal but if something’s missing from the above, there could well be a good reason.

Episode 126 – Original Upload 7.4.24
This playlist is 78% vinyl friendly. Not bad. An early 1970s BSR P195, courtesy of Birmingham (UK) Sound Reproducers – with an eye maybe on reel to reel tape machines they would then make a decade later? 🙂 They were more bullish with their turntables though, having grown the company in the 1960s to employing […]

Episode 125 – Original Upload 3.3.24
This playlist is 79% vinyl friendly. Not bad. From 2022, with this being the Pro-ject Metallica Limited Edition turntable – though I have the band, Kiss in my head for some reason – it’s the only time you’ll see either group mentioned on 41 Rooms. This set up came in at around $1600 and I […]

Episode 124 – Original Upload 4.2.24
This playlist is 79% vinyl friendly. Not bad. As you can see, the Electric Banana Stereo Phono had some bold claims made on it back in the ’70s. Originally costing $40, these days you might have to pay nearer $900 if you’re daft enough to want one, with the above version residing in the International […]

41 Rooms - A Post Punk Plus Podcast

With no moving parts inside, no belt and no motor, its magnets that keep the platter hovering in place and rotating. Balancing on its feet when not in use, once the tonearm is moved into position, the feet retract, leaving […]

Episode 122 – Original Upload 3.12.23
This playlist is 81% vinyl friendly. Not bad. The idea of Istanbul, Turkey based industrial designer, Pelin Özbalcı, the ‘Ripple’ turntable surfaced at the end of 2021 and continued what he’s sees as a line of ‘joyful products, experiences, and product-user interactions… ‘ If it had been a 1960s design it wouldn’t have looked out […]

Episode 121 – Original Upload 5.11.23
This playlist is 78% vinyl friendly. Not bad. From the 1990s and certainly in one sense, solid as a rock! Dual’s Golden Stone turntable was as chiselled as any turntable is likely to be and if you wanted your music centre to blend in with your driveway or patio it was a contender. Checking in […]
