Comes With MP3s - A Radio Show
Comes with Mp3s is a weekly radio show going out every Saturday
from 6pm to 8pm on Radio Woking. Episodes are then made
available for catch-up on Mixcloud, free of charge.
The show takes its name from the complimentary downloads
supplied with the purchase of a vinyl LP. Each week a different
enthusiast presents, with no playlist or rules. These are simply
people who like music, playing music that they like, and this is
what makes the show special. Comes with Mp3s is a place of discovery, two hours whereby a
presenter takes listeners on a tour of their record collection, leading to a uniquely eclectic
experience, every time. Whether or not your tastes align with that week’s DJ, over the course of
every show you will certainly hear something unfamiliar and interesting. From electronica to
Americana, indie rock to noise, hip-hip to soul, alt-country to post-rock; all musical life is here,
every Saturday evening.
Alan Devey is one of the presenters on Comes With Mp3s. He believes that today, with all
recorded music just a click away, more than ever music lovers need real people to guide them
through this blizzard of infinite choice. That’s where the show comes in; more effective than
algorhithmic recommendations or supposedly personalised marketing campaigns. In a digital
age when few of us have the time or energy to locate all the finest sounds available, we need
knowledgeable aficionados; men and women intent on exposing us to the best in new and
classic music. If that sounds like your kind of thing, give Comes With Mp3s a try.
