Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast the 245th episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on November 04th 2025.
ABOUT THIS EPISODE
I've been really deeply affected by Christina's passing. It made me think about a lot of things, the connexion you can make with people thanks to music, the interviews I do here and of course how much Colleen's body of work made this all happen. I always thought it would be nice to share people's views on music, share their stories. In today's age of "quick stardom", I felt We, as music lovers, We also had beautiful stories to share. So when I launched this blog it felt just so natural to involve everyone from the Family. When Colleen started to share Family member's mixes, it only enhanced my willingness to keep on interviewing you, dear Friends.
And I must admit, Christina was a perfect example of what I wanted to do. Both her mix and the way she answered to my humble questions showed how much you don't need to be a well-known dj, or musician, or composer, to be able to share meaningful information about Music. Her passing also enhanced that recent idea of mine that listening is an act of love because when you listen to someone's mix for instance, when you listen to an album, you indirectly give your time to that person, you somehow fly with her on her musical journey, you let go your own boundaries... And even if you may not like everything that you hear, it still, somehow, somewhere, resonates deep down your soul... And somehow you keep something from that person within you through music...
Many of us knew Christina personally, some of us didn't, but still, thanks to the music she shared during Colleen's show, she touched us. And for that, she will be forever remembered by the Balearic Breakfast Family...
This morning’s Balearic Breakfast is now up on my Mixcloud and is mainly a request show. Thanks to all who joined me on the stream and who made requests over the weekend. There were so many great song suggestions which will be continued on next week’s programme.
We also pay tribute to one of our beloved Balearic Breakfast family members Christina DeSouza, or Tee as she is known to her friends. We recently discovered she had transitioned to the next realm earlier this year and Bert and Artur both made dedications to our late beloved soul girl, may she rest in musical paradise.
For each show I research the artists and songs and when I looked into special remix of Razzy Bailey’s ‘I Hate Hate’ that Jose Padilla put on one of his Sunset Hours compilations, AI got involved and responded, “I understand that you are expressing strong negative feelings against Razzy Bailey and Jose Padillla.” And yesterday my husband did a search to see if the recent feature interview I did with Disco Pogo was up online and AI informed him that I co-founded the magazine with editor Jim Butler. It’s hilarious but also scary as AI is mining my shows and millions of other radio hosts’ shows – all of our collective millions of years of experience – both the human successes and the human failures. Are we okay with putting our lives into the hands of AI? There are plusses and minuses but honestly, if its getting it so wrong we should proceed with caution. That’s my deep thought of the day. Or the week.
Thanks for listening and I hope to see you on the Mixcloud Live chat on Tuesday morning for next week’s Balearic Breakfast.
