Tom Morello once said that ‘every successful, progressive, radical or revolutionary movement that has ever been seen has had a great soundtrack’. We bring you these soundtracks. Each week we have a different theme and movement, playing the songs that have provided impetus for change and given people a voice.
Each week I'll take a new up and coming band, group or artist and explore their music and the music that inspired their sound. Expect indie, folk, motown, rock, hip-hop, jazz, funk...anything goes.
We look back at the life and work of David Bowie, looking through URY presenters own personal memories, favourite songs and his amazing influence on the world of music today.
Looking from his earliest singles in 1967 all the way to his most recent album Blackstar, we'll dig deep in to our archives and find the best songs Bowie both sang on, produced and wrote.
Join Naomi as she journeys through playlists of musical significance from throughout her undergraduate years at York. A reflection on change, influence and the passage of time.
A music show taught like a history of art class, looking at how movements in history, politics, art, and fashion influenced different genres of music. And, much like in a history of art class, it effects you and what you listen to way more than you'd think.
Join us each week to take a trip back time uncovering the songs and influences that formed the beginnings of genres we now know and love
How many times have you stolen a song from a friend? I do it all the time. Want to tap into the playlist and the background story to each of the songs? Tune in! All the songs I've ever stolen from a friend with a special guest...the original owner of the playlist I've so gracefully made my own. There's only one condition: they have to come clean too and share the songs I've influenced them into blasting on repeat. First up: the poor soul that has to listen to ALL of my music; my housemate Abbie! It's only fair.
If you like blues, country and other early Americana, then this is the show for you! Let's enjoy the haunting beauty of this vast artform that has informed and influenced almost all popular music of the twentieth century. From the rural drones and tones of the delta blues to the swinging rhythms of western swing, we'll be exploring a whole range of music from this genre's family tree. I'll also be delving into the stories and myths that surround these mysterious musicians.
Science and technology span every aspect of our lives. In this show Sabina takes a deep dive into a big science topic and explores how it influences our lives and society as a whole.
