Now Playing: Dynamite by Cool Cool Cool
In meiner Bewerbung für einen Platz im ORF Stiftungsrat im Mai dieses Jahres habe ich fünf zentrale Entwicklungsfelder skizziert. Ganz oben auf der Liste: die Schaffung eines ORF-Pendants zum Jugendangebot #Funk von ARD und ZDF in Deutschland.
Heute habe ich in einem Gastbeitrag bei Horizont ausgeführt, warum das für den ORF so wichtig und dringend ist - und warum der schnellste und beste Weg dorthin ein Umbau von @radioFM4 zu einem Austro-Funk wäre:

This is great organic dance music, reminiscent of the collective who did the original Cowboy Bebop soundtrack. It's fast, fresh, fidgety, fun, upbeat, and not all the appropriate thing to be listening to this close to the witching hour. But I have a podcast to finish and post ...
I just noticed this yesterday evening, but didn't had time to share it on the fediverse. The full (21m41s!!!) remastered 12 inch version of America!
I have this on vinyl since its release in October 1985. Instead of other 12'' singles (aka maxi singles), you have to play this on 33⅓ rpm (instead of 45). Let's hope that this means that the Prince Estate finally continues releasing Super Deluxe sets, Around The World In A Day Super Deluxe in this case. Because this is remastered by Bernie Grundman my hopes are high.

This selection has an abrasive edge, and I wasn't in the right mood for it the first time I tried to listen. But tonight, it was just the ticket. The call to action at the end is brilliant.
