I know ... I confirm ... all credit of that bit of info to you Jaffaman

🤣. That’s the way forward. All references to old timer Frenz must be in bold type from now on.

REPLAY of the show 29th March 2020 - The Climber NOT INCLUDED
This replay has been archived on neilfinn.com and mixlr ! ... yes, BOLD type 
There’s a new FangRadio fb page if anyone is interested. Look it up maybe put song requests there and hopefully Neil will see it without the Fangradio chat getting flooded? Cheers
During this short pause in Fangradio sessions it seemed like a good idea to take a look of the depth of the material Neil, Liam en Elroy have been playing these last weeks. I think it tells us a bit about the songs that are ingrained in Neil's (muscle) memory, ie. the songs he can always play without rehearsal. It could also mean that those are the ones Neil perceives as the favourites of his audience. On the other hand Neil is willing to delight his audience with rarities and requests of whch there have been quite a few. I may also tell us which songs of his career he is most fond of, although he keeps away from naming them favourites... Anyway... here it is:

Snap. I was about to list all those songs on Neil’s social media today before the show was cancelled.
No problem... by all means go ahead.
Additionally, during the DJ portions of the Los Angeles broadcasts Neil has aired what sounded like unreleased solo demo/live/band rehearsal versions of:
The Finn Brothers' "All God's Children" presumably circa 2003; plus "Bound To Rescue", "Only Way To Go Is Forwards" and "Twice If You're Lucky" from the Intriguer era circa 2008.
Hoping to hear some more of those little insight gems.
The Ligature - can you give any more info, i.e. dates on these? I have never heard these, is this when Neil puts on his iTunes playlist at the end of a live broadcast? I've listened to recent ones bit only heard non Finn music.
I think if you go back to the autumn of last year, Neil did a whole show of these demo's and alternate 'Kitchen sink'esque' recordings. Its still on his website from the 5th November on the Fangradio page.
A great listen - I do think Neil is incredibly kind and generous to let us hear these things. Hoping one day, maybe these versions get a formal release?

As far as I can remember those tracks were part of the almost 6 hour playlist that began at 9am and ended just before the 3pm live broadcast on 26th March - that's all I have regarding date. If there was recording date information associated with the unreleased material which aired, I couldn't see it as that function of Mixlr only appears to work when listening via a desktop PC (at least for me).
It was an extensive playlist which also included the kind of selections he's been playing in other sessions. I recall there was some of his own material - from Out Of Silence in particular, a few Lightsleeper songs, Liam Finn solo, Neil & Paul Kelly, Pablo Vasquez, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, Hope Sandoval, Madeline Peyroux, Shuggie Otis, a couple of Everly Brothers tracks and several songs each by Television and Parquet Courts who both are evidently very much in favour there, plus a lot of material I didn't recognize such as the sort of African and Greek music that's been present in his other shorter playlists.
I don't want to interrupt your genuinely interesting exchange about Neil's playlist, I just wanted to quickly interject that a) I've been humming "The Second Hobbit Song" for two days now; and b) I want "Finn does Bowie" to become a thing, I absolutely love listening to his covers.

@ The Ligature I can confirm Neil added rare demo, live, ... tracks to his DJ playlist that preceded the show - indeed Fangradio was already broadcasting for several hours in the afternoon before the 26th March LIVE show .
Here's what I heard (including the info that scrolled during the chat) :
Meet Me In The Air (mix 5)
Bound To Rescue - demo ?
I Know Different (mix 1)
Beautiful Life (7th February)
... didn't catch that entire pré-show unfortunately.

Indeed, Neil's voice at times comes very close to David's ... as far as the Hobbit enchantment that has you under its spell, Mica ... guess you'll have to gather up the Fellowhip of the Sing, face many a perilous a capella rehearsal, grinding chord changes and travel yonder to Mount-in-your-Room where ye shall chant till morning cometh ... "One Song To Rule These Walls"

Don't Dream It's Over
Latest show is archived now on the showreel and at neilfinn.com/fangradio
Just checked my files. "Stereo Love" is indeed from early 2005 and turned into "Face The Stereo" later in the year. The "Face The Stereo" title refrain was included in "Purple Light", which was a remake of the song "Time On Earth". You can hear "Time On Earth" on The Kitchen Sink II.
Thank you @ Jaffaman and thank you @Inn2FINN2 for link to fb page good stuff! 👍
@ Jaffaman Thank you so much for the info and ALL the effort you make providing all of us across the world with FINN music Bliss
oh lord...these are a treasure...has anyone figured out how to save these for posterity?????
Can someone please send me the audio of “Stereo Love (demo)” I would love to put some lyrics on it - just need a high quality audio copy.
Thanks!

It sounds like an extendend version of what later turned into “Island of Peace” on Lightsleeper. With added “ruminations”?
I agree Guy, I’m sure the music is some part of recordings for Island of Peace”.
There was one more live song from Neil right at the end of the broadcast following the exit music. "So Long For Now" from Mental Notes.
I just want to say I love whoever requested Log Cabin Fever and Neil for saying he would practice it so he could play it properly.
These sessions are meaning a lot to me these days! And their breadth is just amazing. I was astounded when Neil brought out Missing Person!
It's a great gift to the fans from one of the greatest musical artists of our time.
Who just happens to care.
