***before I start this post check out the special FREE AND LEGAL KID 606 MP3 DOWNLOAD at the bottom of this post***The DIY Chart Show is currently having a wee breakette. We'll be off until the 26th of March when we will be back at our new snazzier time-slot of 2pm til 4pm CET.
This however does not mean we'll be snoozing away...oh no. We are preparing some mighty fine things, including an interview with Jamie Lidell and The Notwist!
We are also working on an unsigned and unreleased podcast special called the Escape Pod, which we will be podcasting very soon. (a wee word of info for the uninitiated - a podcast is just a mp3 with speaking instead of music. although ours will also have music - that's how much we lurv you all- you don't need special software or equipment to listen to a podcast just a computer with speakers)
Anyway - for those of you who missed last weeks show the playlist is here
and the featured artists were Casiotone for the Painfully Alone
and Kid 606, instead of the usual write up "with words" today we are making the unedited interview available to you - where you can hear Miguel hold court on all sorts of things from downloading music to pills to social control and space exploration. It's quite interesting and a must if you are a FAN of his music. Download HERE

Casiotone For The Painfully Alone
As everyone knows, all things DIY are good. DIY chartshow, DIY synthpop, Ikea furniture....oh, wait. Sorry. "But what's that you said," I hear you ask, "DIY synthpop???"...
Yip, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone's first 3 albums were recorded using nothing more than cheapy home keyboards and 4-tracks...but now things are changing. Owen Ashworth, the man behind it all, has decided he's taken those limitations to their logical conclusion, and has expanded his sound.
The new album, "Etiquette", sees him working with producers such as Jherek Biscoff (of The Dead Science and Degenerate Art Ensemble) and Jason Quever (The Papercuts and Pan American Recording Studio), and brings in pianos, organs, strings, flutes, drums, and pedal steel guitars. However, at the root of it all, the homemade feel remains. And jolly nice it is, too.
