WE’RE BACK! But, it’s been such a long time since our last show that I’ve forgotten how to write a witty intro!

Suffice to say, that we have a lot to talk about and play a load of great tracks, from a bona-fide rock classic, via a slice of weirdo pop to a heart-breakingly beautiful cover version.

Oh, and unfortunately there’s some Robbie Williams, courtesy of Jeff and a snippet of Simply Red from Richy (!)

Hope you enjoy the show, thanks as always for listening!

A right old mixed bag this week. It’s been a(nother) while since the last one, so loads to catch up on, again.

Classic pop-but-not-pop from Jeff and a melancholy, atmospheric electronic song from Richy for this week’s old tracks.

We introduce a new segment, “Richy’s 60 Seconds of Psyche” (actually, more like 90 seconds this time out) before The Randomizer throws up 3 totally different tracks. One of which cause Jeff to utter an uncharacteristic naughty and another that has him reminiscing about paying cable TV bills in Zambia.

We finish of with a complex, kinda-dancey number that pays homage to a true electronic music legend, but which needs some serious trimming down and a 2:40 psychedelic guitar pop track, that doesn’t.

We chat about:

• the two very different gigs we went to (rockers Strand of Oaks and electronic act Jungle)
• and the new standard by which all gigs will be measured
• Richy’s adventure into East london to see current faves, Colombian psych rockers Follakzoid
• Jeff’s 2nd Annual Vinyl Frontier Singles Championship

And we’re recoding the show in Richy’s new place of residence – The Shed – so if you hear any tweeting brids or kids playing in the background, that’s the reasoncwhy!

Hope you enjoy the show – thanks as always for listening!

Another long gap since Ep28 but this is a corker of a show with a very definite 80’s feel.

A selection of tracks that either come from “back in the day” or that are most definitely influenced by the “best decade in music history”, plus a folky-oddity and a brand new (at least it was a couple of weeks back!) instant Rock classic.

Plus we look back at our trips to see Heaven 17 and Simple Minds (both awesome) and our big day out at the 80s nostalgia-fest that was Let’s Rock the Moor.

Let us know if you agree with Richy’s comments about his new track – “best rock track evah!”..?

Thanks as always for listening!

The Forgotten Episode!

(In that we recorded it and then Richy forgot to publish it, so apologies for the wait!)

We talk about a bunch of gigs that have already happened and some things that we were looking forward to that have been and gone.

But the quality of the music should make up for the out of date content. New show to be recorded next week, so shouldn’t be so much of a gap next time.

Thanks as always for listening!

Episode 27 and Richy is joined by DJ Mark Cooper as Jeff is off preparing his sequinned outfit for a big night out.

A predictably dancey vein running through tonight’s show. We start with a couple of live art-rock numbers from arguably the best concert movie ever filmed, and then Mark throws in a trippy piece of electronica that will undoubtedly prove difficult for some listeners.

Richy brings it back to this dimension with a particularly fuzzy-bass-and-guitar driven (but still dancey) indie-rock track from 10 years ago. Then there’s a couple of proper dance numbers – one of which is heavily edited for your listening pleasure, down from 11 minutes (!?) to five.

Finally, in a daring move, Mark plays a video of a piece of sound-art (bear with us!) which has to been seen to be believed. Luckily the soundtrack is pretty decent too, so hopefully you’ll be intrigued enough to check it out.

No gigs to report back on this week, but we talk about the importance of “sonics” in music, Mark gets all gushy about vinyl and Richy reminisces about a brilliant live band from (not too far) “back in the day”.
