Is This Thing On? Podcast Number 34

In a hastily put together podcast I played the marvelous Matt Blake, the sublime Real Raj, the perfectly formed King Never, The wild Will Kriski, the slightly quirky Tom Slatter, the cruel but fair Haunted Stereo, the never knowingly undersold Gideon's Demise and the often free Matt Stevens. . I finished things off with an odd little song that I hope will feature in a competition I am planning. More about that next week.


I also mentioned Pure Acoustica and Watch With Mothers.

Is This Thing On? Podcast Number 30

I kept it simple this week and concentrated on the music. Playing a top mix of tunes from the great Steve Lowis, a great track by Sigurdór Guðmundsson  and NOT Menn Arsins as I wrongly said in the podcast, the awesome Rainer Straschill, the glorious Doyle and the Forefathers (sorry I missed your gig last night guys), the huge King Never, the beautiful Lisa Hogan, I played you a live song right off of the mic, after playing one of my favourite tracks from the perfectly formed Matt Stevens,I finished off with the ever changing and brilliant Brian Wilbur Groundstrom.


Napoleon and Swineshead (Watch with Mothers)tell me they are still trapped in the Philippines due to the ash cloud and Apoc has been sent to the naughty step.

Hi, in this weeks podcast I play Kevin Fisher, Sonny, The Wilton Project, Camp Out, The Fierce and the Dead
Tom Caulfield, Nick Tann (me!) and Matt Stevens all got songs reviewed by Swineshead & Napoleon from Watch With Mothers and what wonderful people they are!

As last weeks First Fifteen was a bit of a washout I decided not to play any of them and played the wonderful Sin and Shame by Birminghams own Carvalho instead.

As I mentioned, I don't get paid for doing this podcast, I do it because I have a passion for independent music.
If you want to help support me buy some of mine or at least grab some for free!
If you like the music you hear from the other artists WHY NOT BUY THEIRS TOO?

This does contain swears, I forgot to tick the "explicit" box and now I can't find it!
