RB 198: The Community Supported Musician (Rethinking Music VIII)
Is there room in music industry for middle-class musicians?
Friend of the show Nancy Baym brought together three career performer/songwriters who all stumbled on the same analogy for how musicians can "make it" in the digital age: that of Community Support Agriculture (CSAs). Kristen Hersh, Zoe Keating, and Erin McKeown discuss what models have worked for them, and the unorthodox ways they’ve learned to make a living as artists.

FACT mix 177: Solar Bears
This Friday’s FACT mix comes from Dublin-based duo Solar Bears.
Recently signed to Planet Mu, we’ve been listening to this duo’s music non-stop of late – their Inner Sunshine EP, recently released with a remix by Lone, is more than healthy but it’s in their debut album, the forthcoming She Was Coloured In where the real Solar Bears treats lie. Inspired by the likes of Broadcast and Tangerine Dream, it’s an album of gentle synth-pop, swelling ambience and archaic Kosmische and prog that sits nicely next to recent work by Ratatat and Oriol, as well as Boards of Canada and Pivot.
Compiled by the group’s Rian Trench, Solar Bears’ FACT mix features Harmonia ’76, Lone, Kate Bush, Fuck Buttons and more and is sounding pretty perfect to our ears this morning. Watch out for a full FACT interview with the pair in the not-too-distant future.
Tracklist: Twin Sister – Ginger Solar Bears – Kill On George Delerue – Theme de Camille Fuck Buttons – Space Mountain Beaver and Krause – As I Hear It Lone – The Twilight Switch Harmonia ’76 – When Shade was Born Cornelius – Drop Stanley Myers – Cavatina Joy Division – Decades Julee Cruise – The World Spins Kate Bush – Cloudbusting Bibio – Segee and the Indian Paul Giovanni – Willow’s Song

FACT mix 179: Mogwai
This Friday’s FACT mix is the work of Scottish post-rock legends Mogwai.
Formed in Glasgow in 1995, Mogwai this week released their first live package, taking in a concert recording, Special Moves and a DVD companion, Burning. It marks fourteen years of existence for the band, whose early albums Young Team and Come On Die Young represent some of the most influential music of the era – taking the long-form instrumentals of Louisville’s Slint, and injecting them with a very human, and very British melancholy and sense of humour, looking to their peers Arab Strap as well as the likes of The Cure and Fugazi for inspiration. Later in the decade, Mogwai would work with Andrew Weatherall, Alec Empire, The Manic Street Preachers and more.
The noughties would see Mogwai continue to hone their sound, reaching new peaks with tracks like ‘Glasgow Mega Snake’ and ‘Auto Rock’, while also moving into soundtracking, working with Clint Mansell on Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain and most notably, providing the score for Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait, the film study of French football legend Zinedine Zidane.
Mogwai’s FACT mix was made by long-term member Barry Burns, and features The Fall, Fad Gadget, Tuxedomoon and more – you can read an interview with him about the mix and recent Mogwai goings on over the page. Special Moves / Burning is out now.

Suburban Base: Sound of the Phuture MegaMix
"I recently bought a record containing a nice megamix of [Suburban Base’s] first 12-14 or so releases. Whoever made the megamix did a nice job incorporating elements from all the tracks throughout the mix, not just blindly jumping from tune to tune. It makes for for both an excellent introduction to the label’s earlier tracks, as well as something fun for people who already know the tunes well."
