Show 07/03/2010

Friends, sad news. Due to technical issues, last week's show is lost forever. It has vanished into the empty (internet) radio waves.

We may never know what really went on that day, but here's one (unconfirmed) suggestion:

Wilco - Handshake Drugs [Kicking Television version]
American Football - Never Meant
Shellac - Song of the Minerals
Pavement - Gold Soundz
Richard Thompson - Calvary Cross
Crash and Britany - Nora's a Mirror
Teenage Fanclub - Verisimilitude
Rocket From the Tombs - Ain't It Fun
Mazzy Star - So Tonight That I Might See
Art Brut - DC Comics and Chocolate Milkshake
Sparklehorse - Cow

RIP Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse, a truly exceptional songwriter.

Show 07/02/2010

This weeks show has 20% extra snap, crackle and pop, and comes in glorious mono. Also a noise track (Temperatures) which prompted our most scathing email ever:

"Does this sound like music to you? Cos it doesn't to me, the wires in your brain must be crossed or sumfin. Were you dropped on your head as a child? Or possibly a rugby injury from teenage years?"

So yeah, you might want to skip that one if your feedback tolerance isn't very high.
