A number of possible superstitious origins for customs associated with birthday celebrations have been suggested. It was feared that evil spirits were particularly attracted to people on their birthdays and to protect them, they would be visited by friends and family who would bring good thoughts and best wishes.

This special edition of the AudioVaVafesto celebrates the 10 year anniversary of our friends over at Radio Magnetic. May they be visited by good spooks bringing forth their very best intentions for many more years to come.

A story is everything and everything is a story. This story compiled by A La Fu and Brent Handlebear brings the familiar smell of karma in future islands, that search for a safe place, the right face in the wrong place.

Sleep is scarce while the drama takes over. All you wanted was for her to be honest but now your honey has ran and you find yourself stranded in the jungle. But the band keeps on playing. She can
kill the man but she can’t kill the dream.

You find yourself in a far away land which in truth doesn’t feel that far away at all but you are in the midst of change, the new year has again reared its familiar head as you try and guess just what year we’re up to now, while with blasted fervour you dig deep for that solid plan for the next 12 months.

You are not alone.

Look to better days ahead, you are in control and can make it happen. Make it happen.

Until next year.

The air is blue, thick with disdain, pain and of overwhelming loss. You’ve got a bad liver in alcoholic fervour trying to numb the broken heartache. A whirlwind of emotion you turn to the only reliable source and hint of healing you know, your record collection and it’s countless cries of loves lost and cold analysis.

You’re not the only one it reminds you, art is born of such sentiments.

Brent Handlebear takes us through a personal trip, working his way through the blackness, blackness everywhere  where little light shines, the blackness drags you down,  let this compilation light the candle in that poor heart of yours.

I hope it’s better when we meet again.
