Hmm. Not a good one today, if we're honest. Started badly with MePaul deleting half the tracks on the playlist 30 minutes before the show started, and kind of degenerated from there.
Fortuitously, aside from our cock ups and ramblings, there was some REALLY GOOD music, which managed to (hopefully) hide the fact that everything else was going pretty disasterously. Some Milk Kan, Prototypes, Anne Oxygen, and loads more goostuff can be found at the playlisty bit.
And now to bed. Catchyas.

Yeeeharrrr!!!
Americans. Is there anything they can't do? When they're not popping off into space to bring us back pressies from the moon, or being the World Champions at baseball, or um, making more american stuff, they have time to sit on their porches and invent bluegrass. How marvellous. So today, we played some on the show (except some of it was Canardian, and a bit more of it was from Scotchland, but hell boy, them thar 'mericans did it first). We also had mashup from Aggro1 (USA), Duke of Uke (USA), Sonya Cotton (USA) - and a whole load of other stuff from some other countries too. Why dont you just click that ol' playlist doo-hickey at the top of this here page and see for yisself?
Sorry, could never quite do an American accent.
Next week, some Briddish stuff. Maybe.
Catchya!

In Space Noone Can Hear You Scream!!!!
An odd show this week, MePaul was abducted by aliens (or something) leavingMEROBIN bravely to battle behind the controls. Somehow despite the absence of MePaul somewhat normal service was delivered. Even if MeRobin took the opportunity of MePaul's absence to play a ridiculously self indulgent set ranging from Part Chimp's Hello Bastards to Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights and from Goose's Black Gloves to Dolly Parton's Jolene.
Yes you read right, a truly mixed bag of contingency measures....
MeRobin would however like to advantage of this opportunity to showcase two brand new acts which have come across the DIY Chart Show Radar.
Earworm (www.myspace.com/earwormuk) and DEEBEE.
Firstly Earworm, now I am a little partial to a wee bit of industrial metal now and again. thrashing about the bedroom saying the F word and bouncing off the walls:
Earworm a DUO (a rare duo in a world of leatherclad foursomes) from Southampton cover all the bases with what at first seems like a fair rendition of the genre. - but it borrows so much from techno production sensibilities that it cannot fail to find a wider audience. chopped samples poke their heads out of the metallic surface from time to time reminding you that it's more that just metal. oh and it rocks.
Check it Out.
MP3- Earworm -- cock it
The second of today's specials is DEE BEE. It's surely not too difficult to make 1990's rave records nowadays, what with all the technologies available to producers today. But surely it's hard to make it sound as good as this
