As broadcast October 25, 2023 with a boatload of fierce, hard-earned independence in tow.  Tonight we got on the plane once again for some wonderful traveling without moving and headed for Armenia's capital Yerevan.  Much like Korea, Armenia's history has been marked heavily by interference and aggression from their its larger neighbors, but that has only hardened the Armenian people's desire for self-determination, even when it can only be over one's self.  Spread all over the world now, the connection always remains to their now wholly independent country, and we took a trip all over the audio and geographic map to track down some of the best Armenian music from down the years up to the present day.#feelthegravityROUND TRIP –Armenia (Flight TD111)Tracklist (st:rt)Part 1 (00:00)Arkadi Dumikyan ft.

As broadcast October 9, 2023 with plenty of good vibes in tow for the festival hangover.  Tonight, in our final edition of the Busking World Cup Special Series, we welcomed two very talented artists to the studio for a heavy dose of folk, classics, and just downright sunshine as one of the best ongoing events in Gwangju wraps its 2nd edition.  First hour we welcomed Pompey native folk singer Sam Brothers to the show, who not only is the spitting image of David Bowie and Mick Jagger's long-rumored love child, but also took us on a journey of influences across a variety of eras and styles.  For our final busking guests of the week, we welcomed Steph and Georgie Fisher, who are the Sydney-born Berlin-based duo that comprise Sissos.  Much like their own places of connection in this world, they showcased some of their friends from both places, and talked about the duality of family and artistry in a fascinating and exceedingly funny interview to wrap the week properly.#feelthegravityBusking World Cup 2023 Special #62023.10.09Tracklist (st:rt) Part 1 with Sam Brothers (00:00)Sam Brothers – Still I’m Here, As AlwaysColter Wall – The Devil Wears A Suite and Tie (Original 16 Brewery Sessions)Sonny Terry – Key To The Highway (Live at Sugar Hill)Devendra Banhart – Now That I KnowVan Morrison – Star of the County DownJoanna Newsom – Easy  Part 2 (37:56)Sam Brothers – Gwangju Busking World Cup App VideoBob Dylan – On More Cup of CoffeeJoni Mitchell – CaliforniaJeff Buckley – GracePlanxty – As I Roved Out Part 3 with Sissos (69:08)Sissos – You Can’t Have BothJessie Monk – Gets Me DownStu Larsen – Lost in a HazeJoe Mungovan – Soaking Up The SunshineSonny Casey – A Thousand Setting SunsMichael Brinkworth – Good Old Feeling Part 4 (1:43:10)Sissos – Leave My Dreams for MeFirst Aid Kit – My Silver LiningLucas Laufen – WeatheringJulia Jacklin – ComfortJudy Blank – KaraokePaul Kelly – To Her Door

As broadcast October 8, 2023 with plenty of variety for everyone.  Tonight we welcomed a very wild and worldly collective named Famous Japanese to take over hour one of the show.  We talked with their Berlin-based lead singer Nanako in the studio as the band took us on a rousing trip through their influences, which include traditional Japanese folk songs, Turkish and Middle Eastern vibes, and so much more.  It's honestly hard to even know who or what shows up when the band is in town, as they can morph up to eight members and we cannot recommend their show in Seoul this coming week with No.1 Korean, as that should be a very unique experience.  Speaking of unique, our second hour we welcomed Melbourne-based vocalist Tanya George, who discussed her appearances on The Voice Australia along with support from the Lord Mayor herself!  An incredibly interesting look into Tanya George's creative process with influences listed from Billie Eilish, Jamiroquai, Florence + The Machine, and more famous names along with local Aussie shouts for AKOSIA, Blush'ko and Tayana Taylor in the process.#feelthegravityBusking World Cup 2023 Special #52023.10.08Tracklist (st:rt)Part 1 with Famous Japanese (00:00)Famous Japanese – Famous JapaneseSayuri Ishikawa – Tsugaru Strait/Winter SceneryKula Shaker – Govinda Ismail Kivrak – MastikaIkuzo Yoshi – We’re going to TokyoPink Lady – Pink Typhoon (In The Navy)Gultekin Ekrem – Damat Oyunu Part 2 (35:07)Famous Japanese – ABUDAEBIBeats Antique – EgypticDALI – Moonlight LegendNo.1 Korean – RosaTOSH – Something’s WrongKen Matsudaira - Ken EDM Part 3 with Tanya George (66:15)Tanya George – WoodlandBillie Eilish – What Was I Made For?AKOSIA – GOErykah Badu – AppletreeBlush’ko – Know You Better Part 4 (97:22)Tanya George – WelcomeFlorence + The Machine – You’ve Got The LoveAriana Grande – Into YouH.E.R. – Focus Jamiroquai – Virtual InsanityTeyana Taylor – Gonna Love Me

As broadcast October 7, 2023 with plenty of good tunes and good people in tow.  Tonight we enter part four of our six chapter Busking World Cup spotlight with a couple of wanderers who have happened to touch down here in Gwangju for the 2nd annual event held in our fair City of Light.  First up is a semi-nomadic artist out of far northern Cairns, Australia named Tessa Devine.  A brilliant singer-songwriter, Tessa Devine actually ended up winning the People's Choice Award at the event as the audience's favorite, and she's certainly a favorite in our hearts as well.  In an interview showing both her very free spirit and tasteful selection process, Devine shouted out some of her favorite Aussie compatriots in an hour of excellent music and an at times uproarious interview.  Hour two we highlighted a rather wild trio making their debut at the Busking World Cup called Music In The Jungle.  The trio of Jacelyn, Katie, and DJ 2Shay certainly were one of more original artists on the roster this year, with a repertoire that included live paintings made with each appearance.  Katie and 2Shay literally came straight into the studio with luggage and everything in tow fresh off their flight, and the trio took us through a selection of tunes from their favorite audio compadres in the world along with their roots in Canada and the place they met in Costa Rica.#feelthegravityBusking World Cup 2023 Special #42023.10.07Tracklist (st:rt)Part 1 with Tessa Devine (00:00)Tessa Devine – It’s YouRob Howe – CarolinaTullara – Better Hold OnTones and I – Fly AwayFelipe Baldomir – YouLT – Act Your Age Part 2 (33:15)Tessa Devine – WildAmber Reid – Side LinedThe Dreggs – You and MeMardi Wilson – SaltyGreta Stanley – It’s Cool to Be in LoveKim Churchill – Window to the Sky Part 3 with Music In The Jungle (63:55)Jacelyn – FoolLeh-lo – Patience Zig ZagNya Marquez – 7 ElevenDonavon Lee Carpenter – Born to Love YouMan Crush – Don’t Be Trippin’Editus feat Manuel Monestel – Cahuita Is a Beautiful Place Part 4 (96:40)Jacelyn feat Asha – Kaleidoscope GRiZ – Mystik DubClari Sol – Yin YangEddy Ruyter – DaydreamPanArmonia – Oli Gis AnthizeiGwen McCrae feat Ferry Ultra – Let Me Do My Thang (dOP remix)*

As broadcast October 6, 2023 with plenty of gregarious laughs along the way.  Tonight we welcomed two great Europe-based artists to the show as our Busking World Cup celebration continues into day three.  First up, we welcomed Dutch-Indonesian Dublin-based artist Jacob Koopman, who is the only artist in the world who has featured in both editions of Gwangju's famed celebration of street players everywhere.  Jacob talked about his transition from being a drummer to guitarist, showed a bit of his metal side, and talked some of the music that has inspired his own sound since moving into the multi-instrumentalist realm.  For the second hour, we welcomed a trio of internationalist legends in Diogo Picao, Olmo Marin, and Juninho Ibituruna to the studio for a lot of laughs and an exploration of their friends doing amazing things back home in Lisbon, and the absolutely unbelievable local legend that Juninho is in the Portuguese capital.#feelthegravityBusking World Cup 2023 Special #32023.10.06Tracklist (st:rt)Part 1 with Jacob Koopman (00:00)Jacob Koopman feat Neolithic – Tell meJakub Zytecki – Light a Fire (Fight a Liar)brakence – rosier/punk2Sueco – LoserSaibh Skelly feat Jacob Koopman – Is Your Bedroom Ceiling BoredDaisy Chute – London’s On Fire Part 2 (31:46)Jacob Koopman – Weight of the WavePolyphia – Playing GodPolyphia feat Sophia Black – ABCDiogo Picão – Ais ou Menos Josiah & The Bonnevilles – Chronically Cautious (Country vers)Futurescape feat Dani Barilli – wake me up Part 3 with Diogo Picão (62:31)Diogo Picão - Palavras CarasSambacalao - Deu à CostaOrquestra Latinidade – CajóCristina Clara - Lua Nicolás Farruggia - Olho d’águaLuca Argel -  Gentrificasamba Part 4 (1:40:03)Diogo Picão - Credo João Pires – CAÊDandara - Para um amor em ParisNancy Vieira - Peca sem dorJhon Douglas – NeuzianaTcheka - Storia Estrada

Taki, who are led by Sergio Taki and accompanied by Nacho Padron, Diego Gonzalez, and Tommy Min.  All the members hail from different places in the world but work with one heart and mind, creating a multi-genre cumbia-centered sound in their work.  Great discussions with both of these very talented artists to watch out for at this year's Busking World Cup!#feelthegravityBusking World Cup 2023 Special #22023.10.05Tracklist (st:rt)Part 1 with Daisy Chute (00:00)Daisy Chute – Lion Eyesmidori jaeger – Breeze (Acoustic)Hannah White – Chains of OursMichele Stodart – Push & PullLady Nade – Everything Is FreeJacob Koopman – Ego  Part 2 (37:30)Daisy Chute feat Hannah Brine – Spirit of the Singers (Live)Beth Nielsen Chapman – This KissLara Eidi – SunFern Maddie – Ca’ the YowesFlo Perlin – BaghdadMatt Kent feat Daisy Chute – Fly to You Part 3 with S.
