RatholeRadio 70 – 22nd Jan 2012

show@ratholeradio.org (Dan Lynch) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 15:24:54 +0000

Rathole Radio 70 is here already, where does the time go? I played my usual eclectic mix of independent music, performed a live song on the guitar, and generally talked too much. I’m sure I also said “erm” far too many times. I hope you enjoy the show. Don’t forget to hook up with up on social networks, leave comments and send emails. I’m interested to know what you think.

00:00 – Jonathan Coulton – Skullcrusher Mountain – CC BY-NC Licensed – Do I need to say anything about Jonathan Coulton at this point? A CC music legend. I realised this week that I’ve only ever played 2 songs of his on the show. Have to get some more in.

07:38 – DubTrak – Sandblaster Dub - CC BY-NC Licensed – A group I discovered through CCHits and then investigated more. I got their EP off the Audiocast Productions netlabel.
14:03 – The Corinthians – The Hot One (Feat Nicky Talent) - License Unknown – A local Liverpool group I saw supporting the Jungle Brothers last year and loved it. I had a chat to Nicky Talent at the gig and they’re really nice lads. Fingers crossed I can get them on the line up for the Rathole Roadshow at LEAF on Friday April 27th.

There’s also a 20lb Sounds gig at The Zanzibar in Liverpool, Saturday Feb 4th at about 8pm. Stage time not known yet. Entry is only 4 quid, bargain.

21:25 – laslow1988 – Violin High – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Interesting mix of classical and rock from this German outfit. This is from the album Panic Attack. They’re based in Berlin but there’s not a lot of other information on Jamendo. I tracked them down on Last.fm and some other places.
24:49 – airtone – something – CC BY-NC Licensed – Heard this on CCHits and absolutely loved it. Can’t find any information about the artist or the track after searching. The artist website just doesn’t load for me. Will try to find out more. There’s lots of stuff on ccMixter by airtone.

33:30 - Monkeys In Love – Traffic Or Not - License Unknown – I met Laura and her partner at an arts event in Liverpool last year. They’re based in Manchester and this is a pre-release track from their upcoming album Death Jeans. It’s due out on Feb 20th on Valentine Records. There’ll be a lunch party/gig on Feb 17th but I don’t have more details of that yet.

41:05 – Berlinist – My Darling Grace – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A Barcelona based trio who released this debut single on Bad Panda records last year. Not must is known about them. As it says on their Bad Panda release, “they prefer to let their piano, glockenspiel, accordion and ukulele speak”.

47:53 - LIVE TRACK: “Re: Your Brains” by Jonathan Coulton – My first attempt at performing a JoCo song and it went ok I think. It’s a zombie classic and hopefully I did it justice. Here’s the site I used to learn it.

54:15 – New Nobility – Paradise – License Unknown – Artist Submission – Sent to me via Soundcloud by the artist. I’ve played them before. Really like this track. Nice upbeat electro sounds I thought. These guys describe themselves as an International band, after forming in Sarajevo in 2005 they’re now based in Sydney, Australia.

Brian Fitzhugh wrote to me this week with a suggestion for a shared Google spreadsheet of all the tracks played on the show previously. He kindly offered to collate all the data and set something up which is amazing. He’s not a confident coder though. If anyone is interested in helping out contact me and I’ll put you in touch with Brian.

Thank you also to Martyn Lewis for his email and John Eckman for telling me about his WP plugin I might find useful. It’s called WPbook and it integrates FB more closely.

63:18 – La Olla Express – La Batalla – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A Spanish ska/punk/fusion outfit. Their album Panic came up in my search and I’m glad it did. It’s great! This is the opening track. Do yourself a favour and check them out. Their website is in Spanish and my Spanish is non-existent so you’ll have to investigate more yourself.

00:00 – Tab Benoit – Come And Get It – License Unknown – Heard this on the Roadhouse podcast number 324 and had to play it. Great tune. Check out Tab Benoit’s website and his new album Medicine.

06:50 – Lejo Harmeson & Essence – Complicated Man – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Heard this on the CCHits weekly review show and liked it. Got to the site, listen to the shows and vote, we need people to participate!
10:50 – Regra 4 – Samba Groove, a volta do homem pro mato – CC BY-SA Licensed - One I found randomly while surfing Jamendo.

15:41 – Partition 36 – The Optic Nerve – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – I played a track called “I Love Penguins” by this artist some time ago and this is a great follow up. Lovely slice of industrial sounding electro. Thanks to GamerChick02 for the tip.
21:38 – Derelict Earth – The Darkest Serenity – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A French metal band (from Grenoble), you don’t see many of those. They’ve obviously been listening to some early Metallica I think, and that’s no bad thing.

30:22 – Chamber Music Society Of Lincoln Center – Pachelbel’s Canon In D – License Unknown – Kindly sent to me by Don_S who asked why I don’t play much classical music. As he guessed it’s often the length of the pieces and it’s tough to fit them in. I’m a fan though. (Lincoln Center blurb)
36:46 – Teddy Goldstein & The Goldsteins – New York City – License Unknown - Heard this on AMPed 280 and it was submitted by Peter Clitheroe of Suffolk & Cool. This reminded me of The Eagles in the vocal style and it’s a nice tune. I bought it off CD Baby.

43:14 – LIVE TUNE – Medicine Man by Dan Lynch – A tune I wrote some years ago and I have a feeling I might have played it live on the show before. I only realised after I’d done it. Well never mind, people seemed to enjoy it anyway. I’m hoping to soon record an album of tunes like this that have gotten away over the years.

48:49 – ‘Til Dusk – One By One – License Unknown – Emailed to me by Chris from the band. They’re based in Southampton in the UK. This track is taken from their debut album Cold Lust which is released May 16th and you can find out more at www.tildusk.co.uk

57:59 – Dual Core – Magnificent Seven (feat Nerdcore) – All Rights Reserved- A big thanks to Mark Horsley for emailing this track to me. I’ve heard Dual Core a few times but not this track. It’s from the 2009 album Next Level which you can get on Bandcamp and other places and it features almost everyone in Nerdcore it seems. Beefy, MC Frontalot and more.

The first Rathole Radio of 2012. Supposedly it’s the end of the world this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make time to check out some of the best independent musicians you’ve never heard. I skipped the live song this time but only because I had a bumper show already. Hope you enjoy it.

29:44 – Monkey Gland Blues Band – Like The Blues Man Do – License Unknown – CD arrived in the post from listener Tom Sparrow who says “I wanted to do a bit of promotion for my Nephew’s band “The Monkey Gland Blue’s band” and wondered if you would play a track on Linux Outlaws one week.” I had a listen and liked the sounds.

Welcome to this Christmas edition of Rathole Radio. I say Christmas edition but I didn’t do anything different really. I still played an assortment of the best Independent music on the web and also performed a specially requested live track. I hope you enjoy it. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

00:00 – STEEP – Let Me Go – CC BY-SA Licensed – A German rock band from Munich. I’ve played them before but was reminded of them by a recent CCHIts.net.

05:49 – Robin Grey – The Hackney Gentrification Song – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – I played Robin Grey right back when the show started in 2009. I was reminded of him again by CCHits.net and I’m pleased to say he’s been busy since recording lots of great new material. This song is great, I love the wry humour. It could also be the anthem for Liverpool it seems. “Knock it down, build flats, knock it down”.
08:38 – Patricia Wake – Living In The Dark – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – Another track from The Dark Clan who I played last time. I don’t know a massive amount about the band but I like this track.

19:19 – Cider Beard Joe – It’s Not Unusual – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A friend of the show, Joe sent me this great Tom Jones cover and I had to play it. He tells me all his stuff is under a CC license but this track might be tricky as it’s a copyrighted song already.
21:26 – The Freak Fandango Orchestra – Balkans Beats – CC BY-SA Licensed – I’ve played The Freak Fandango Orchestra plenty of times on this show and I love this crazy Barcelona-based group.

28:14 – Azoora featuring graciellita – Motionless – CC BY-SA Licensed – A great collaboration between London based John Percell of Azoora and Canadian artist Graciellita. It was released by netlabel 23 Seconds. More information.
32:11 – Dazie Mae – Sofa – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A beautiful slice of French jazz/blues with a hint of Latin influence from Paris-based artist Dazie Mae. You can find more tracks and information on Jamendo.

40:39 – Ghost_k (Ghost Kollective) – Stop (One More Time Remix 2011) — CC BY Licensed – A special remix of this track from CCMixter by a group who were spawned from that very site.

47:30 – LIVE TRACK – “Hallalujah” by Jeff Buckley as a special request for Katy in Germany. I had to learn this for the show and practice it a few times, so I hope you like how it came out.

54:41 – Dad Rocks! – Funemployment – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Heard this one via AMPed. It was submitted by Jonny Dobson from the Edinburgh Man Podcast.

63:32 – Birds of Tokyo – Wild Eyed Boy – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – A nice bit of upbeat indie rock from this Australian outfit. They’re doing really well and this track is from their 3rd album which is self-titled. That album was certified gold in the first month of release.

Welcome to Rathole Radio 67. Another collection of eclectic music I present for your listening pleasure. I also did an acoustic performance of a 20lb Sounds track.

00:00 – The Happy Problem – Curvature - License Unknown – I heard about this band via The DarkCompass Podcast and fellow AMPer Rowley Cutler. The Happy Problem have dive-bombed NYC’s sleepy indie music scene. Their album Head Case can be found on iTunes and CDBaby.

06:44 – The Ink Project – Araldite Tears – License Unknown – This track was submitted to AMPed from the Made in the UK Show and I enjoyed it so much I wanted to share. I can’t tell you a massive amount about it or the artist but follow the link to read more.
11:00 – Laura K – Saboteur – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – I found this one via Jonny Dobson and the Edinburgh Man Podcast. I’m a sucker for a girl with a ukelele what can I say. This is a great song though and Laura K has a beautiful voice too. This is available for free download from the Eardums Pop netlabel. Check out their good work.

19:01 – Kellee Maize - Healing Tones - CC BY-SA Licensed – An interesting US rapper from Jamendo. Kellee hails from Pittsburgh. This track is the intro to the album and I wanted to play it for you first. I will play another song later once this sets you up. From the album Integration.
20:45 – Kellee Maize - Shadows - CC BY-SA Licensed – One of my favourite tracks of her album Integration. You can find it on Jamendo. Nice guest rap too.

What month would you like the Rathole Roadshow 2012 to be? You can vote – http://poll.fm/3f932

29:44 – The Dark Clan – (Man With A) Clockwork Heart – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed - Good friend @JonTheNiceGuy tipped me off to this group. They lived up to their name on the track he sent, it was incredibly dark and slightly disturbing. So I opted for this quirky tune from their free tracks collection on Bandcamp.
33:37 – 8in8 – Twelve Line Song - CC BY-NC Licensed – Another track from CC supergroup 8in8 which features Amanda Palmer, Ben Folds, Damien Kulash and Neil Gaiman. I’ve played tracks off their EP Nighty Night before but not this one.

40:30 – Libra – Morning Traffic – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – An interesting bit of Polish drum & bass. Not every day I get to say that sentence. I found this via Pete Cogle and the PC Podcast. You can find the band on Jamendo and there’s loads of stuff to be downloaded. This is the opening track from the album Drum Your Life.

45:50 - LIVE TRACK: 20lb Sounds – Teardrop – CC BY-SA Licensed. An acoustic rendition of one of the songs we’ve been doing with the band. It’s a track I originally wrote when I was 16 but the words have improved a lot since. (Sorry for the poor sound quality at times during the live song)

49:21 – Rachel Brown – Diamond In The Rough – License Unknown – I’ve played New York singer songwriter Rachel Brown before but I thought I’d treat you to another track. I can highly recommend her single Bumblebee to you all, you can get it on Itunes, Amazon or CDBaby.

61:33 – Alex Hulme – There Was A Boy – License Unknown – I heard Alex via Graham Holland and Liverpool Acoustic Spotlight. Then I went down to their Christmas do and got to see Alex live, it was amazing. His use of live loops and his voice are excellent, plus he’s a really nice lad. Check him out and buy some of his music.

48:49 – ‘Til Dusk – One By One – License Unknown – Emailed to me by Chris from the band. They’re based in Southampton in the UK. This track is taken from their debut album Cold Lust which is released May 16th and you can find out more at www.tildusk.co.uk

Guest next time! Wayne Mayers AKA Fit & The Conniptions.

57:59 – Dual Core – Magnificent Seven (feat Nerdcore) – All Rights Reserved- A big thanks to Mark Horsley for emailing this track to me. I’ve heard Dual Core a few times but not this track. It’s from the 2009 album Next Level which you can get on Bandcamp and other places and it features almost everyone in Nerdcore it seems. Beefy, MC Frontalot and more.

Rathole Radio 66 is upon us, just like winter seems to be. So wrap up warm, get the chicken soup on the go and tap your feet to my eclectic selection of tunes. There’s a live acoustic blues performance.

Apologies for messing up the mp3 download of the last show. It was cutting off halfway through.

00:00 – Brad Sucks – Bad Attraction – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Another track from Canadian CC artist Brad Sucks. I’ve played him many times before but not this song.

06:44 – Lee Maddeford – Le petit jardin (with Les Gauchers Orchestra) – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed- From FreeMusicArchive.org – Gorgeous, acoustic instrumental works by Lee Maddeford performed by Les Gauchers Orchestra and Les Gauchers Quintet. The pieces range from seemingly Hungarian gypsy dances that would warm the heart of Béla Bartók to pieces that would work for British society bands and on to lush works with string arrangements.
09:27 – Big Bill Broonzy – Baby Please Don’t Go – Public Domain Licensed – A classic track by a legendary blues singer Big Bill Broonzy. If you don’t know about him check out the information on Wikipedia.

18:27 – Stereo Electric Mistress – Famous On Facebook – Licence Unknown – I met Clare the band’s manager at Barcamp Liverpool via Graham Holland. She got me a copy of this track via Tom one of the members. To be honest I really wasn’t sure what to make of this at first. It quickly grew on me though and by the end of that first listen I already liked it. That’s a good sign
22:12 – Juanitos – Super Exotic 60′s Beat – CC BY Licensed – Another one I heard on CCHits and liked. Loving the retro sound, suits the song title.

27:42 – Hank Penny – Rabbits Don’t Ever Get Married – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – A cracking bit of country old style country music with humour I thought. This is from the Bloodshot Revival collection on FreeMusicArchive.org. I have to give a thanks to Heeed for sending it my way and he heard it via Dave and Caroline on The Bugcast. Are you confused yet?
30:22 – Plushgoolash – Big Gay Waterfight – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Can’t tell you much about this artist or track other than the title caught my eye. It’s currently near the top of the chart on FreeMusicArchive.org.

36:09 – Mamma Reggae – Ragga – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – A nice bit of reggae I came across on Jamendo. Not much info on there but it looks like they’re Argentinian so I assume they’re singing in Spanish. Light up a fat one and enjoy!
39:24 – Broke For Free – Night Owl – CC BY Licensed – Another track I found on the FreeMusicArchive.org chart. An art student from Santa Cruz Californina by the name of Tom Cascino. You can buy his music from Bandcamp.

45:24 - LIVE TRACK – An old blues classic, “Sweet Home Chicago”. Hope you enjoy it.

50:14 – Pete Vyler – Backstreet Emperor – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A very cool punk track I came across on Jamendo which is actually by a French artist. There’s a full album so I look forward to hearing more.

57:31 – Patrick Lee – Quittin’ Time – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Another one from Bad Panda Records, one of my favourite netlabels. I loved this tune when I heard it on a recent CCHits weekly roundup.

00:00 – Tab Benoit – Come And Get It – License Unknown – Heard this on the Roadhouse podcast number 324 and had to play it. Great tune. Check out Tab Benoit’s website and his new album Medicine.

06:50 – Lejo Harmeson & Essence – Complicated Man – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Heard this on the CCHits weekly review show and liked it. Got to the site, listen to the shows and vote, we need people to participate!
10:50 – Regra 4 – Samba Groove, a volta do homem pro mato – CC BY-SA Licensed - One I found randomly while surfing Jamendo.

15:41 – Partition 36 – The Optic Nerve – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – I played a track called “I Love Penguins” by this artist some time ago and this is a great follow up. Lovely slice of industrial sounding electro. Thanks to GamerChick02 for the tip.
21:38 – Derelict Earth – The Darkest Serenity – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A French metal band (from Grenoble), you don’t see many of those. They’ve obviously been listening to some early Metallica I think, and that’s no bad thing.

30:22 – Chamber Music Society Of Lincoln Center – Pachelbel’s Canon In D – License Unknown – Kindly sent to me by Don_S who asked why I don’t play much classical music. As he guessed it’s often the length of the pieces and it’s tough to fit them in. I’m a fan though. (Lincoln Center blurb)
36:46 – Teddy Goldstein & The Goldsteins – New York City – License Unknown - Heard this on AMPed 280 and it was submitted by Peter Clitheroe of Suffolk & Cool. This reminded me of The Eagles in the vocal style and it’s a nice tune. I bought it off CD Baby.

43:14 – LIVE TUNE – Medicine Man by Dan Lynch – A tune I wrote some years ago and I have a feeling I might have played it live on the show before. I only realised after I’d done it.

Welcome to Rathole Radio number 65. It’s hard to believe we’ve reached 65 already but there it is. I played my usual mix of eclectic independent tunes and chatted away with everyone listening live. I skipped playing an acoustic tune as we had a packed show anyway. I hope you enjoy it

00:00 – Paul Liddell - Ghost Car – License Unknown – I heard this via the Liverpool Acoustic Spotlighthalloween show and friend Graham Holland. Buy the EP Help Yourself Float from Paul’s website.I played Graham Holland’s amazing Roland Ratbumper he made for me!! 08:48 – Triplexity - That Feeling – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Heard this on Jamendo. A Spanish artist I’ve played before who mixes jazz with breaks and other interesting elements. The track contains mobile phone interference noises, it’s not me!!

13:56 – M.A.S.T – The Rise Of Eastern Star – License Unknown – This track was an email suggestion from Ratko Vujanovic. This group did the music for a Guild Wars podcast called Relics of Orr apparently.

I played a promo for The Bugcast which is hosted by fellow AMP members Dave and Caroline Lee.

24:12 – A Minor Theory – Dream In Blue – CC BY-NC Licensed – From CCHits – A slice of retro sounding electro pop that I really enjoyed. It has a very 80’s feel.

27:44 – Tabloid – The Junkie Violin Player – CC BY-SA Licensed – From CCHits – A UK band I heard via CCHits and wanted to share with you. Find them on Jamendo.

Check out Kevie’s TuxJam show. Inspired by RR apparently. I’m honoured.

36:06 – Slim – Ghost Island – License Unknown – Another track I heard via fellow Liverpool podcaster Graham Holland. A singer songwriter from Hackney, North London. Buy the album ‘Slim’ and download this track for free from his website.

42:36 – Freak Fandango Orchestra – Requiem For A Fish – CC BY-SA Licensed – I had an email from the band saying their new album Tales Of A Dead Fish was out on Jamendo. They are from Barcelona and I’ve played them before. I like their quirky sound.

Extra Barcamp Liverpool show details – Friday November 18th at 8pm UK time. See the website for venue details and come down. It’s free and everyone is welcome.

51:00 – Cathleen – Hold me – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed - From CCHits – Heard this on the CCHits weekly show and liked it a lot. Despite the Irish name and slightly folky sound Cathleen is actually German. Very nice song.

55:53 – Jiboul – Naz-Party – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A track I heard on Jamendo but I’ve actually played the artist before.

I had an email from Ted Strait, also a listener of Linux Outlaws to ask if he could rebroadcast the show on http://www.radioreclaimed.com/. Of course I said yes.

64:00 – David Rovics - Occupy Wall Street - CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Friend of the show, former guest and roadshow participant David Rovics with a studio recording of his new song about the reasons to occupy wall street. Obviously a big movement going on right now.

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m sixty four? That’s right Rathole Radio number 64 is upon us. I got most of the tracks from Jamendo this time and they’re full of Creative Commons goodness, plus marrowbone jelly. Ok, no marrowbone jelly but have a listen anyway. You might enjoy them. I also reprised a live version of “Stringman” by Neil Young.

Shearer – Day’s End – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A track from one of the most popular rock bands on Jamendo. Shearer hail from Germany and I like their frantic sound. I’ve played theme before but this track comes form the 2010 album Monument which is new to me.

Microcobra – Mizuki’s Last Chance – Backlash (Microcobra Mix Edition) - License Unknown – Heard this one via AMPed and the award winning Pete Cogle of PC Podcast. A great piece of 8-bit electro from netlabel Sociopath Recordings.
The Underground Collective – Melodios Hamonics – CC BY-SA Licensed – From a compilation called Mix Tape vol 2 which you can get on Jamendo. Short but sweet I thought. Nice track.

Plug’n’Play – Lost A Friend – CC BY-SA Licensed – You could easily be fooled into thinking this band were British with the jangly indie sounds and Morrisey-esque vocal. Actually they’re Polish. This Lublin-Warsaw band released a wonderfully titled EP Whoreship in 2008. Grab it from Jamendo.
Stefano Mocini – Leaving You – CC BY-SA Licensed – A great Italian pianist. Check out his album A Cat Playing on Jamendo. I highly recommend it. Lovely instrumental piano music. Love the artwork. Possible Lolcatz endorsement on the horision I think

CCHits.net 1st birthday was last week. Great work Jon!

Vampire TNA – Mean Parade – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – An interesting Greek electro artist I found on a dubstep playlist in Jamendo.
Sean Wright – Sipping On A Red Bull – CC BY Licensed – A strange but interesting rock tune from British artist Sean Wright. I like his voice and it has a slightly Bobby Gillespie vibe to my ear. The song seems oddly concerned with Red Bull, no commercial endsorsements here!

Mr.Tac a.k.a. “Chocolate” – Where I Come From – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Some phat hip hop from an artist I’ve played before. New York producer and rapper Mr Tac. Love this track, great beat and a nice flow.

LIVE TRACK: I was a little under-prepared so I asked the IRC for song suggestion and Gamerchick02 mentioned Neil Young. I wanted to play “Stringman” again for everyone. I know I’ve done it before but hopefully you like it.

Esgi – Alone Again – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – A nice bit of Ambient music I found on Jamendo. This artist is British and this is from the 2007 album Echos In Time. Great chill out music.

There’ll be an extra bonus Barcamp Liverpool show on Friday November 18th. More details to follow

Blackanges – Breeze – CC BY-SA Licensed – Another slice of Dubstep, this time from a German artist. This is the sort of track that makes you sit up and take notice. The dirtiest analogue bassline I’ve heard in a while.

Donations & Support:A kind donation came in from Evgeny Kuznetsov. Plus all the people who clicked the Flattr buttons.

Watch out here comes Rathole Radio number 63, peeking out from behind the bushes. We had a great time chatting on Sunday night and I was pleased to exclusively play a new 20lb Sounds studio track for everyone. I also sang one of my favourite songs live and shared my usual blend of eclectic music.

00:00 – No Snow No Alps- Luminerao – License Unknown- Bought on CD Baby – From Nick Tann and Is This Thing On Podcast, via AMPed. Did a gig with this band in London.

06:46 – The Chicago Kingsnakes- Stop Drop and Roll – License Unknown – A great Chicago blues band. Head this one via The Roadhouse podcast and apparently the band have been going since 1983.
09:52 – Whiteshoulders - Eart – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed - http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/26060— Experimental French electro from Whiteshoulders. This also came up during the “coffee” search. It’s different but I like it. I can’t explain why

16:08 - Oneside – Into The Night – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Another one from CCHits. Will talk more about that in a bit. Nice vocals on this and great production.
20:16 - MyNameIsJohnMichael – Elders – License Unknown – Another great track from this New Orleans artist. I originally discovered them via those great Creative Commons compilations of New Orleans bands my friend EdyTheMighty tipped me off to. Since exchanged some nice messages with the artist.

27:55 - Alex Palumbo – Awkward Silence (Markojux Remix) – CC-BY-NC-ND Licensed – Heard this one on CCHits. A bit of minimal techno, which isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but give it a chance. You can download this from Soundcloud.

39:39 - Lorelei Loveridge – Oh India – License Unknown – I first heard of Lorelei via Graham Holland of Liverpool Acoustic Spotlight. I then went to see her at the View Two Gallery in Liverpool and loved the show. She played this song with her band at the time, who were also all very talented.
43:38 - Freeky Cleen – Can’t You Hear Me Callin – CC BY-SA Licensed – Heard this on CCHits again and loved it. Anyone else getting a Robert Plant vibe from the singer? No bad thing! Hat’s off to JonTheNiceGuy for the find. Met his wife and young child (Daniel) yesterday. Apparently he already has a Twitter account, nice work.

50:51 – LIVE SONG – Counting Crows – Round Here – A favourite song of mine from a favourite band of mine. They had a big influence on my in my music college days. I still love them and the songwriting of Adam Duritz is something I’ve always aspired to.

58:31 - Burning Shapes – Silence Amplified – License Unknown – This is a 4 piece band from Kent in England. They’re currently giving away their entire album through a fascinating QR code treasure hunt. The codes are posted on random websites and also printed out sometimes at gigs. Amazing idea, I love it. The song is good too. Thanks to Toby from Coffee Artists for sending this to me.

66:25 - 20lb Sounds – Rip It Up – CC BY-SA Licensed – The first of the new studio recordings from my band. This is a world exclusive first play. There is more new material to come and it’s gonna get better and better. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

48:49 – ‘Til Dusk – One By One – License Unknown – Emailed to me by Chris from the band. They’re based in Southampton in the UK. This track is taken from their debut album Cold Lust which is released May 16th and you can find out more at www.tildusk.co.uk

Guest next time! Wayne Mayers AKA Fit & The Conniptions.

57:59 – Dual Core – Magnificent Seven (feat Nerdcore) – All Rights Reserved- A big thanks to Mark Horsley for emailing this track to me. I’ve heard Dual Core a few times but not this track. It’s from the 2009 album Next Level which you can get on Bandcamp and other places and it features almost everyone in Nerdcore it seems. Beefy, MC Frontalot and more.

The 62nd edition of Rathole Radio is upon us. This time I played my usual eclectic mix of music and also performed a rather interesting live song. My impression of Brad Roberts low singing style went astray in parts but should make for an entertaining listen. So settle in and enjoy the music.

00:00 - cypher tales – ce produit fait de I effet - CC BY-SA Licensed— Banging choon!!! Get your glowsticks out and worship at the altar of rhythm. Big box, little box etc French artist living in Britain now I believe.

08:00 - These Animals – Side By Side – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Not much information available on this one. Found it in a random search on Jamendo. Liked it a lot. http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/88212
11:19 - 8in8 – Because The Origami – CC BY-NC Licensed – Another track from the Creative Commons super group. This group features Ben Folds (You should know him), Amanda Palmer (Dresden Dolls), Damien Kulash (OK Go) and Neil Gaiman (Legendary writer). Love the tag line “tomorrow’s super group today”.

18:17 - No Colour - Broken Turntables – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – Another one from CCHits. Interesting instrumental hip hop.
22:06 - Elephant Noise – Please Let Me Be An Animal – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A Spanish band I found while doing a search for Elephant on Jamendo. This new way of finding music is cool. This is from their self-titled album – http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/79202

Creative Commons label Bad Panda Records have passed 100 releases and they celebrated by making the tracks available in one big download- 9 hours 46mins of music in a 1.1GB file.

28:04 – From Bad Panda – The Parish Of Little Clifton – It’s Okay, Rosanne – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Canadian multi-instrumentalist who’s only 19 years old. Impressive stuff.
32:23 - Orphan Songs – What You Want Is Lost - CC BY-SA Licensed — Lovely bit of folky stuff from Swedish artist Orphan Songs. Really enjoyed this.

38:23 - The Patinettes – Mystic Monkey - CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/92449 – Found this during a random search for “monkey” on Jamendo. Spanish band with female singer. I like them a lot.

43:45 - LIVE TRACK – My rendition of “Superman’s Song” by Brad Roberts. One of their lesser known songs but a classic in my book. Thanks to Craig Edgmon for emailing with this request and reminding me of the tune. I used to sing it many years ago. It’s been a while.

49:39 - Dickey F – Snake Skin Blues – CC BY-SA Licensed – Some instrumental blues with nice guitar work from Unkrainian Dickey F. I don’t know if the blues is big in the Ukraine but it sounds like it should be http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/94015

57:39 - Kursed – Generation – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Kursed are a French band that my friend Anna found on Jamendo and kindly sent me. We were discussing searching Jamendo with one word and this came up – http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/96921

00:00 – Tab Benoit – Come And Get It – License Unknown – Heard this on the Roadhouse podcast number 324 and had to play it. Great tune. Check out Tab Benoit’s website and his new album Medicine.

06:50 – Lejo Harmeson & Essence – Complicated Man – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Heard this on the CCHits weekly review show and liked it. Got to the site, listen to the shows and vote, we need people to participate!
10:50 – Regra 4 – Samba Groove, a volta do homem pro mato – CC BY-SA Licensed - One I found randomly while surfing Jamendo.

15:41 – Partition 36 – The Optic Nerve – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – I played a track called “I Love Penguins” by this artist some time ago and this is a great follow up. Lovely slice of industrial sounding electro. Thanks to GamerChick02 for the tip.
21:38 – Derelict Earth – The Darkest Serenity – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A French metal band (from Grenoble), you don’t see many of those. They’ve obviously been listening to some early Metallica I think, and that’s no bad thing.

30:22 – Chamber Music Society Of Lincoln Center – Pachelbel’s Canon In D – License Unknown – Kindly sent to me by Don_S who asked why I don’t play much classical music. As he guessed it’s often the length of the pieces and it’s tough to fit them in. I’m a fan though. (Lincoln Center blurb)
36:46 – Teddy Goldstein & The Goldsteins – New York City – License Unknown - Heard this on AMPed 280 and it was submitted by Peter Clitheroe of Suffolk & Cool. This reminded me of The Eagles in the vocal style and it’s a nice tune. I bought it off CD Baby.

43:14 – LIVE TUNE – Medicine Man by Dan Lynch – A tune I wrote some years ago and I have a feeling I might have played it live on the show before. I only realised after I’d done it. Well never mind, people seemed to enjoy it anyway. I’m hoping to soon record an album of tunes like this that have gotten away over the years.

Another Rathole Radio is upon us. My first from the newly relocated studio. I haven’t moved into some expensive purpose built studio, I’ve just moved everything from my bedroom to the spare room. It’s working out well so far though. I hope you’ll enjoy my usual eclectic mix of music and also a quick live performance.

00:00 – Secret Archives of the Vatican – Veiled Beauty Dark Magic – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – from CCHits.net

07:54 – The Orchestra – Like A Beetle On It’s Back – License Unknown – Another track from the Swedish band I met in Liverpool recently. Nice guys and great musicians.
12:14 – Koimatsu – Party, soul and funky – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – An interesting bit of jazzy Spanish funk. Love the cover art too. Will add a link in the show notes.

19:39 – Henrik Jose – The Little Things – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – Recommended to me in person by Bob from LivLUG, a new way to submit suggestions perhaps. This is from the 23seconds.org net label and it’s from an EP of the same title.
24:42 – Brownout – Olvidalo – CC BY-NC Licensed

31:27 – Damscray – Dancing Tiger – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed
34:30 – Daniel Bautista – Moonlight Sonata – CC BY-SA Licensed – From CCHits.net

42:12 – Macroform – Stress Response – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – Suggested via email by Jonthan Archer – American electro/instrumental artist from Troy, Ohio. Where Lolcatz come from of course. This is from the 2010 album Return To Knowing.

47:30 – LIVE TRACK – My version of “Redemption Song” by Bob Marley. I hope you like it.

52:45 – The Teacups – John Cherokee – License Unknown – Been talking to Kate Locksley from the group and we’ll have them as guests soon. Thanks to Adrian for putting us in touch.

I mentioned Professor Kliq and his college fundraiser.

60:08 – You Me Tree – This Race – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – This sounds like Rob Warren on the vocals and I see it was uploaded by McMack in Amsterdam so that would make sense.
