All over the place again this week, some great tracks and a couple of (not so) guilty pleasures. We had a lot of fun with this one!

Voodoo swamp-blues, twee and not twee indie, classic 70s, and bang up-to-date-out-this-week goth-tinged stadium rock and several points in between.

C W Stoneking – The Love Me Or Die
Six By Seven – Brilliantly Cute
U2 – Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me (excerpt)
David Soul – Don’t Give Up On Us Baby (excerpt)
Helen Reddy – I Am Woman (excerpt)
The Boy Least Likely To – I’m Glad I’m Hitched My Wagon To Your Star
The Horrors – In And Out Of Sight
The Horrors – Sheena Is A Parasite (excerpt)

All this, plus a shout-out to the guys at www.UKpodcasters.com, pub quiz nightmares, misheard lyrics, the worst music currently being used in a TV advert and Jeff plants a horrible vision in Richy’s mind.

This week’s “competition”: we’re after more subjects for The Randomizer, so post your suggestion/s on Soundcloud or Facebook. We’ll choose our favourite one and if you’re local to us you’ll win a pair of tickets to Jeff’s Electric Eighties night, May 16th in Marlow, if you’re elsewhere we’ll send you something nice 🙂

Thanks as always for listening!!

Definitely our most diverse episode yet.

Commercial dance music from 90’s South Africa, bonkers 70’s synth from Nigeria, disappointing industrial rock, some sad folk (is there any other kind?) a stomping indie-electro-dance number and a few other oddities for good measure.

Richy realises that things have moved on A LOT over the last 20 years and Jeff gets to play a favourite synth track that definitely won’t get an airing at Electric Eighties 2 (…or will it?)

Mandoza – Nkalakatha
William Onyeabor – Good Name (excerpt)
Love Spit Love – Half A Life
Carl Douglas – Kung Fu Fighting (excerpt)
The Revolting Cocks – Stainless Steel Providers (excerpt)
Adam Holmes – Oh My God
Liars – Vox Detuned D.E.D.
Visage – Mind Of A Toy (excerpt)

Looking at that track list now it really does look all over the place! There’s definitely some interesting stuff there and I think we managed to keep it reasonably coherent!

This week’s “competition”: we’re looking for some more subjects for The Randomizer, so post your suggestion/s as a comment on the soundwave above or on Facebook and we’ll choose our favourite. If that person is local to us you’ll win a pair of tickets to Jeff’s Electric Eighties night in Marlow, May 16th, if you’re elsewhere we’ll send you something nice 🙂

Thanks again for listening!

Follow Head To Head Podcasts’s board EP 5 – The Richy & Jeff Show on Pinterest.

Fourth episode and two very different tracks for our first choices and then – totally coincidentally – we both went for folk-infused, psych-rock Americana for track two.

There’s a couple of tracks from – what feels like – a loooong time ago, some classic reggae and an equally classic late’s 80’s dance hit.

Plus introducing two new features

– “The Randomizer” – not sure we’ve quite ironed out the concept yet but it led to two great tracks
– The Competition – win tickets for Jeff’s “Vinyl Frontier – Exodus” on April 16th (or something else if you can’t make it – details at 1hr 5mins if you want to skip straight to it!).

Plus – hear the phrase “ghetto blaster” three times – are we even allowed to say that these days..?

Tracklist:-
Bob Geldof – The Great Song Of Indifference
Puressence – This Feeling
Phosphorescent – Song For Zula
The War On Drugs – Under The Pressure
Strawberry Switchblade – Since Yesterday
Depeche Mode – A Question Of Time
Bob Marley – Exodus (excerpt)
S’Express – Theme From S’Express

Third episode and I think we’re getting pretty good at this!

(Note to Jeff – no more songs with whistling please. Ever.)

Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip – Thou Shalt Always Kill
The Chameleons – Don’t Fall
The Chameleons – In Shreds (excerpt)
The Chameleons – Swamp Thing (excerpt)
Bastille – Pompeii (excerpt)
Laibach – The Whistleblowers
School Of Seven Bells – Low Times
Cosmicide – Talos’ Corpse (excerpt)
St. Etienne – Hobart Paving (excerpt)

Thanks for listening!

Our second show, building on what we learned from recording the Pilot show.

The same format as before, but with added music – we decided we’d play some excerpts of tracks from some of the “related artists” that we end up talking about. Let us know if you think this works.

(Richy got a bit carried away with Ryan Adams…)

This weeks tracks:

Nick Heyward – My Heavy Head
Ryan Adams – La Cienega Just Smiled
Ryan Adams – New York, New York (excerpt)
Ryan Adams – New York, New York – Live piano version (excerpt)
Billy Joel – New York State Of Mind (excerpt)
Polly Scattergood – Please Don’t Touch
Daniel Avery – New Energy [Live Through It] William Orbit – Water From A Vine Leaf (excerpt)

Thanks for listening!

Richy & Jeff

Follow Head To Head Podcasts’s board EP 2 – The Richy & Jeff Show on Pinterest.

Our first show, unsurprisingly containing a few equipment-related hiccups, but overall a pretty good stab at it.

This week’s tracks:

– Billy Bragg “Waiting For The Great Leap Forward”
– Black Lab “Without You”
– Bright Light Bright Light “I Wish We Were Leaving”
– I Break Horses “Weigh True Words”
– Coldplay “Midnight”

Notes:
– When I talk about The Shins, I obviously meant Broken Bells
– It was Marillion not Simple Minds (or T’Pau!)
– M83’s album is “Saturdays = Youth”

Thanks for listening!
