Princess Beet Farmer here, doing my best Bill Lupoletti impressions. Starting off the show today with some tracks from across the continent of Africa which are every bit as funky as anything Bootsy Collins ever recorded, then changing pace with some killer Mediterranean string driven tracks. You’ll also be hearing music from Palsrael and Israstein (apologies if anyone heard this on my christmas show, it is the same, but the music was so good I wanted to share with a broader audience than just the 1 am crowd) and Eastern Europeans shouting. Who doesn’t love shouting?

Dubioza Kolektiv (Bosnia and Herzegovnia) Kažu Apsurdistan Menart 2013 "They Say They say that Bosnia is a country just for your relatives, and that we're top on the list for ""brain drain"". They say, Iran again is making nuclear bombs, a bubble gum cleans the teeth but it pulls out the fillings. They say, if we want it, we'll dream about it. they say, on Jamaica they sell ganja on killos. They say, don't drink water if you're hot, here the draft is killing us, we've been playing good but a referee has fucked us. They say that alcohol is healthier than marijuana, they say if you don't have a stance, they put you one instantly. They say that blondies are dumber than blacks and brunettes, and that everything tastes better with a spoon of Vegeta. They say, they'll never stop brainwashing us. As long as there are more sheep, there won't be a lack of wool. They say, our panties have fallen, we've bitten the hooks. Our heads are in sand along with unprotected ass. They say that the end of the world is relatively close, and that the banks have pulled us into the crisis. They make me go to the elections every two years, and I vote for a coffee and marijuana. From Vatican to Iran, as if yesterday we fell from the branches, from Vatican to Iran, to a monkey a banana is sufficient. From Vatican to Iran, as if yesterday we fell from the branches, from Vatican to Iran, marijuana is illegal. They say that babies are brought by storks, and that only a bottled water is healthy. They say that along with a song it's ""effectively rubbed"", it's a miracle of soap against stubborn stains. They say, they'll never stop brainwashing us. As long as there are more sheep, there won't be a lack of wool. They say, our panties have fallen, we've bitten the hooks. Our heads are in sand along with unprotected ass. They say that the end of the world is relatively close, and that the banks have pulled us into the crisis. They make me go to the elections every two years, and I vote for a coffee and marijuana. From Vatican to Iran, as if yesterday we fell from the branches, from Vatican to Iran, to a monkey a banana is sufficient. From Vatican to Iran, as if yesterday we fell from the branches, from Vatican to Iran, marijuana is illegal"
S.A.R.S (Croatia) Perspektiva Perspektiva Lampshade Media 2011 "Perspective A brain in front of a computer and the unhealthy food Cheap drugs are easily accessible for weak boys The car is only for persistent but gasoline is expensive Ticket for betting costs only twenty dinars, situation is like Milosevic has risen from the grave The EU have been waiting for us, the fridge like the pharmacy We have a bread and a ketchup, and we can sleep very well Tennis is on TV, the spider in underpants The original Levi's from Novi Pazar, the freedom is myth! We have skimmed melons cause fields are bore We are in deep shit, but we have managed to swim We haven't the salary and pension, but it is same if we have We live of music, just let play it The football is played on street, the stone is the goalpost And a beer from the supermarket for a nice feeling In society is everything better when you have problems I'll try to have better perspective! Perspective, perspective.... Our reality is black and white and future is grey Perspective, perspective.... We all have, we all have the grey perspective Perspective, perspective.... Perspective is for us a cheap cigarette Perspective, perspective.... Perspective, a beer for supermarket!"
Marčelo & Kal(Serbia, Serbia) Krasnokalipsa Treća strana medalje Multimedia Records 2008 " 1st verse: I have received word, through three days of the end of the world: planet in shock, collapse, confusion. Step up to the year in blazes heaven, Forecast for tomorrow: 'tomorrow' it does! Rus Sljoka, Amer hook, Eskimo does not even know it hurts (...). The air sick, crowded everywhere, blizzard, roar, cool & horror. But, alas - well, well, wonders: Only one country has not lost spirit, only one still partying: Let go dull life and fate! Them's the end of the world, we are the world Day of Judgment: give us a tambourine and moving the fair! Kak'a drama, man? Dance Now! Kez on your face, make all Matragi! Chorus: Here san dilo gadzo sar to dozens Ladz, sar jakha putresa, They had lectures about gilabesa, am-pam-pam-pam punk! (You're crazy Gadža how your eyes open - just playing, just sing punk!) 2nd verse: ... Because the world is not svik'o pain, them all this new ... What is now in the money and power, all the fleet and lead? And then, look at us! Digi-to see us: smile at the ready in no time, here it is! Who now has better weapons, aaa? Because when you see the bottom when you live bottom and when you know that the bottom of the wheel, and when you know that the train is long gone, there's no use to cry, my brother! Bye! Hey, it was nice ... ... And if there was, we glumismo nice! And for the end of the world - who else cares? ... Worse things get over the bar."
