  • Rock Lounge – Ep 2

    My second monthly Saturday night Rock Lounge slot on Yellow Submarine, this time focussing on great monologues in rock. I’ve noticed recently many of the new releases by new indie bands such as Sleaford Mods, Dry Cleaning, Black Country, New Road, Speed Week there’s a focus on poetry or unconscious rants spoken, shouted rather than…

  • You’re on mute… – Episode 2

    Second episode (first one here) highlighting the best music that got me through 2020. Expect some clunky rambling chit chat from me on context and often the wrong names of things… oh well. More prep next time. Playlist with correct names to songs and links to the related album/track on Bandcamp (if available) below… Enjoy!…

  • You‘re on mute… – Episode 1

    I’d been sitting on my hands for ages thinking about doing a radio show. Many years ago I used to do a 5UV radio show with a uni mate Simon where we’d share our loves and knowledge of music scouring Australian music mags and sea mail shipped NME’s. So rather than wait to find a…

  • Rock Lounge – Episode 1

    Still getting my tech sorted out but after the success of the mixtape session on Yellow Submarine I’ve been asked to run one of the Rock Lounge slots. Given it was my first one, I thought I’d begin with an Australian Rock special showcasing some classic big names from AC/DC, Radio Birdman, Scientists to more…

  • Silent Days, Plutonian Nights (for Ben)

    My good friend Ben M had a milestone birthday back in January and I dragged my feet getting some presents to him. Eventually I did and our mutual love of music, both challenging, sweet and obscure that has strengthened our bond over the years is represented here. This mix gave me the utmost pleasure in…

  • 65daysofstatic

    Village Underground – 20 November 2018 I’d never heard of 65daysofstatic until my mate Mudge had messaged me to say he’d bought me a ticket. They were doing some sort of multimedia performance where the music was generated via algorithms or some such computer generations. This was going to be a night of laptop music.…

  • The pattern once known as you

    Was in my local record shoppe on Sunday, it was Feast day, a local community festival so it meant there was a DJ spinning some tunes rather than the proprietor playing his favourite psych rock album. The guy – Robin The Fog – was playing a great set of down temp ambient, field music and…

  • Music of 2018

    This is an annual list of things I’ve been listening to and bought this year. Not necessarily released in 2018 but certainly discovered or re-acquainted with. I’ll update this over the course of the year and by the end you’ll get a list of my picks for 2018. Sign up if you want to be…
