Rathole Radio 70 is here already, where does the time go? I played my usual eclectic mix of independent music, performed a live song on the guitar, and generally talked too much. I’m sure I also said “erm” far too many times. I hope you enjoy the show. Don’t forget to hook up with up on social networks, leave comments and send emails. I’m interested to know what you think.

• 00:00 – Jonathan Coulton – Skullcrusher Mountain – CC BY-NC Licensed – Do I need to say anything about Jonathan Coulton at this point? A CC music legend. I realised this week that I’ve only ever played 2 songs of his on the show. Have to get some more in.

• 07:38 – DubTrak – Sandblaster Dub - CC BY-NC Licensed – A group I discovered through CCHits and then investigated more. I got their EP off the Audiocast Productions netlabel.
• 14:03 – The Corinthians – The Hot One (Feat Nicky Talent) - License Unknown – A local Liverpool group I saw supporting the Jungle Brothers last year and loved it. I had a chat to Nicky Talent at the gig and they’re really nice lads. Fingers crossed I can get them on the line up for the Rathole Roadshow at LEAF on Friday April 27th.

There’s also a 20lb Sounds gig at The Zanzibar in Liverpool, Saturday Feb 4th at about 8pm. Stage time not known yet. Entry is only 4 quid, bargain.

• 21:25 – laslow1988 – Violin High – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Interesting mix of classical and rock from this German outfit. This is from the album Panic Attack. They’re based in Berlin but there’s not a lot of other information on Jamendo. I tracked them down on Last.fm and some other places.
• 24:49 – airtone – something – CC BY-NC Licensed – Heard this on CCHits and absolutely loved it. Can’t find any information about the artist or the track after searching. The artist website just doesn’t load for me. Will try to find out more. There’s lots of stuff on ccMixter by airtone.

• 33:30 - Monkeys In Love – Traffic Or Not - License Unknown – I met Laura and her partner at an arts event in Liverpool last year. They’re based in Manchester and this is a pre-release track from their upcoming album Death Jeans. It’s due out on Feb 20th on Valentine Records. There’ll be a lunch party/gig on Feb 17th but I don’t have more details of that yet.

• 41:05 – Berlinist – My Darling Grace – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A Barcelona based trio who released this debut single on Bad Panda records last year. Not must is known about them. As it says on their Bad Panda release, “they prefer to let their piano, glockenspiel, accordion and ukulele speak”.

47:53 - LIVE TRACK: “Re: Your Brains” by Jonathan Coulton – My first attempt at performing a JoCo song and it went ok I think. It’s a zombie classic and hopefully I did it justice. Here’s the site I used to learn it.

• 54:15 – New Nobility – Paradise – License Unknown – Artist Submission – Sent to me via Soundcloud by the artist. I’ve played them before. Really like this track. Nice upbeat electro sounds I thought. These guys describe themselves as an International band, after forming in Sarajevo in 2005 they’re now based in Sydney, Australia.

Brian Fitzhugh wrote to me this week with a suggestion for a shared Google spreadsheet of all the tracks played on the show previously. He kindly offered to collate all the data and set something up which is amazing. He’s not a confident coder though. If anyone is interested in helping out contact me and I’ll put you in touch with Brian.

Thank you also to Martyn Lewis for his email and John Eckman for telling me about his WP plugin I might find useful. It’s called WPbook and it integrates FB more closely.

• 63:18 – La Olla Express – La Batalla – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A Spanish ska/punk/fusion outfit. Their album Panic came up in my search and I’m glad it did. It’s great! This is the opening track. Do yourself a favour and check them out. Their website is in Spanish and my Spanish is non-existent so you’ll have to investigate more yourself.

• 30:22 – Chamber Music Society Of Lincoln Center – Pachelbel’s Canon In D – License Unknown – Kindly sent to me by Don_S who asked why I don’t play much classical music. As he guessed it’s often the length of the pieces and it’s tough to fit them in. I’m a fan though. (Lincoln Center blurb)
• 36:46 – Teddy Goldstein & The Goldsteins – New York City – License Unknown - Heard this on AMPed 280 and it was submitted by Peter Clitheroe of Suffolk & Cool. This reminded me of The Eagles in the vocal style and it’s a nice tune. I bought it off CD Baby.

• 43:14 – LIVE TUNE – Medicine Man by Dan Lynch – A tune I wrote some years ago and I have a feeling I might have played it live on the show before. I only realised after I’d done it. Well never mind, people seemed to enjoy it anyway. I’m hoping to soon record an album of tunes like this that have gotten away over the years.

• 48:49 – ‘Til Dusk – One By One – License Unknown – Emailed to me by Chris from the band. They’re based in Southampton in the UK. This track is taken from their debut album Cold Lust which is released May 16th and you can find out more at www.tildusk.co.uk

Guest next time! Wayne Mayers AKA Fit & The Conniptions.

• 57:59 – Dual Core – Magnificent Seven (feat Nerdcore) – All Rights Reserved- A big thanks to Mark Horsley for emailing this track to me. I’ve heard Dual Core a few times but not this track. It’s from the 2009 album Next Level which you can get on Bandcamp and other places and it features almost everyone in Nerdcore it seems. Beefy, MC Frontalot and more.

The first Rathole Radio of 2012. Supposedly it’s the end of the world this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make time to check out some of the best independent musicians you’ve never heard. I skipped the live song this time but only because I had a bumper show already. Hope you enjoy it.

• 33:17 – Chinese Man – Racing With The Sun – License Unknown – From Pete Cogle “Chinese Man’s “Racing With The Sun” is my album of 2011. This turntablist/Hip-Hop collective have kept my iPod warm for many months now, so here’s the title track.” – From PC Podcast with Pete Cogle

Welcome to this Christmas edition of Rathole Radio. I say Christmas edition but I didn’t do anything different really. I still played an assortment of the best Independent music on the web and also performed a specially requested live track. I hope you enjoy it. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

• 00:00 – STEEP – Let Me Go – CC BY-SA Licensed – A German rock band from Munich. I’ve played them before but was reminded of them by a recent CCHIts.net.

• 05:49 – Robin Grey – The Hackney Gentrification Song – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – I played Robin Grey right back when the show started in 2009. I was reminded of him again by CCHits.net and I’m pleased to say he’s been busy since recording lots of great new material. This song is great, I love the wry humour. It could also be the anthem for Liverpool it seems. “Knock it down, build flats, knock it down”.
• 08:38 – Patricia Wake – Living In The Dark – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – Another track from The Dark Clan who I played last time. I don’t know a massive amount about the band but I like this track.

• 19:19 – Cider Beard Joe – It’s Not Unusual – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A friend of the show, Joe sent me this great Tom Jones cover and I had to play it. He tells me all his stuff is under a CC license but this track might be tricky as it’s a copyrighted song already.
• 21:26 – The Freak Fandango Orchestra – Balkans Beats – CC BY-SA Licensed – I’ve played The Freak Fandango Orchestra plenty of times on this show and I love this crazy Barcelona-based group.

• 28:14 – Azoora featuring graciellita – Motionless – CC BY-SA Licensed – A great collaboration between London based John Percell of Azoora and Canadian artist Graciellita. It was released by netlabel 23 Seconds. More information.
• 32:11 – Dazie Mae – Sofa – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A beautiful slice of French jazz/blues with a hint of Latin influence from Paris-based artist Dazie Mae. You can find more tracks and information on Jamendo.

• 40:39 – Ghost_k (Ghost Kollective) – Stop (One More Time Remix 2011) —  CC BY Licensed – A special remix of this track from CCMixter by a group who were spawned from that very site.

47:30 – LIVE TRACK – “Hallalujah” by Jeff Buckley as a special request for Katy in Germany. I had to learn this for the show and practice it a few times, so I hope you like how it came out.

• 54:41 – Dad Rocks! – Funemployment – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Heard this one via AMPed. It was submitted by Jonny Dobson from the Edinburgh Man Podcast.

• 63:32 – Birds of Tokyo – Wild Eyed Boy – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – A nice bit of upbeat indie rock from this Australian outfit. They’re doing really well and this track is from their 3rd album which is self-titled. That album was certified gold in the first month of release.

Welcome to Rathole Radio 67. Another collection of eclectic music I present for your listening pleasure. I also did an acoustic performance of a 20lb Sounds track.

• 00:00 – The Happy Problem – Curvature - License Unknown – I heard about this band via The DarkCompass Podcast and fellow AMPer Rowley Cutler. The Happy Problem have dive-bombed NYC’s sleepy indie music scene. Their album Head Case can be found on iTunes and CDBaby.

• 06:44 – The Ink Project – Araldite Tears – License Unknown – This track was submitted to AMPed from the Made in the UK Show and I enjoyed it so much I wanted to share. I can’t tell you a massive amount about it or the artist but follow the link to read more.
• 11:00 – Laura K – Saboteur – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – I found this one via Jonny Dobson and the Edinburgh Man Podcast. I’m a sucker for a girl with a ukelele what can I say. This is a great song though and Laura K has a beautiful voice too. This is available for free download from the Eardums Pop netlabel. Check out their good work.

• 19:01 – Kellee Maize - Healing Tones - CC BY-SA Licensed – An interesting US rapper from Jamendo. Kellee hails from Pittsburgh. This track is the intro to the album and I wanted to play it for you first. I will play another song later once this sets you up. From the album Integration.
• 20:45 – Kellee Maize - Shadows - CC BY-SA Licensed – One of my favourite tracks of her album Integration. You can find it on Jamendo. Nice guest rap too.

What month would you like the Rathole Roadshow 2012 to be? You can vote – http://poll.fm/3f932

• 29:44 – The Dark Clan – (Man With A) Clockwork Heart – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed - Good friend @JonTheNiceGuy tipped me off to this group. They lived up to their name on the track he sent, it was incredibly dark and slightly disturbing. So I opted for this quirky tune from their free tracks collection on Bandcamp.
• 33:37 – 8in8 – Twelve Line Song - CC BY-NC Licensed – Another track from CC supergroup 8in8 which features Amanda Palmer, Ben Folds, Damien Kulash and Neil Gaiman. I’ve played tracks off their EP Nighty Night before but not this one.

• 40:30 – Libra – Morning Traffic – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – An interesting bit of Polish drum & bass. Not every day I get to say that sentence. I found this via Pete Cogle and the PC Podcast. You can find the band on Jamendo and there’s loads of stuff to be downloaded. This is the opening track from the album Drum Your Life.

45:50 - LIVE TRACK: 20lb Sounds – Teardrop – CC BY-SA Licensed. An acoustic rendition of one of the songs we’ve been doing with the band. It’s a track I originally wrote when I was 16 but the words have improved a lot since. (Sorry for the poor sound quality at times during the live song)

• 49:21 – Rachel Brown – Diamond In The Rough – License Unknown – I’ve played New York singer songwriter Rachel Brown before but I thought I’d treat you to another track. I can highly recommend her single Bumblebee to you all, you can get it on Itunes, Amazon or CDBaby.

• 61:33 – Alex Hulme – There Was A Boy – License Unknown – I heard Alex via Graham Holland and Liverpool Acoustic Spotlight. Then I went down to their Christmas do and got to see Alex live, it was amazing. His use of live loops and his voice are excellent, plus he’s a really nice lad. Check him out and buy some of his music.

• 06:50 – Lejo Harmeson & Essence – Complicated Man – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Heard this on the CCHits weekly review show and liked it. Got to the site, listen to the shows and vote, we need people to participate!
• 10:50 – Regra 4 – Samba Groove, a volta do homem pro mato – CC BY-SA Licensed - One I found randomly while surfing Jamendo.

• 15:41 – Partition 36 – The Optic Nerve – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – I played a track called “I Love Penguins” by this artist some time ago and this is a great follow up. Lovely slice of industrial sounding electro. Thanks to GamerChick02 for the tip.
• 21:38 – Derelict Earth – The Darkest Serenity – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A French metal band (from Grenoble), you don’t see many of those. They’ve obviously been listening to some early Metallica I think, and that’s no bad thing.

• 30:22 – Chamber Music Society Of Lincoln Center – Pachelbel’s Canon In D – License Unknown – Kindly sent to me by Don_S who asked why I don’t play much classical music. As he guessed it’s often the length of the pieces and it’s tough to fit them in. I’m a fan though. (Lincoln Center blurb)
• 36:46 – Teddy Goldstein & The Goldsteins – New York City – License Unknown - Heard this on AMPed 280 and it was submitted by Peter Clitheroe of Suffolk & Cool. This reminded me of The Eagles in the vocal style and it’s a nice tune. I bought it off CD Baby.

• 43:14 – LIVE TUNE – Medicine Man by Dan Lynch – A tune I wrote some years ago and I have a feeling I might have played it live on the show before. I only realised after I’d done it. Well never mind, people seemed to enjoy it anyway. I’m hoping to soon record an album of tunes like this that have gotten away over the years.

• 48:49 – ‘Til Dusk – One By One – License Unknown – Emailed to me by Chris from the band. They’re based in Southampton in the UK. This track is taken from their debut album Cold Lust which is released May 16th and you can find out more at www.tildusk.co.uk

Guest next time! Wayne Mayers AKA Fit & The Conniptions.

• 57:59 – Dual Core – Magnificent Seven (feat Nerdcore) – All Rights Reserved- A big thanks to Mark Horsley for emailing this track to me. I’ve heard Dual Core a few times but not this track. It’s from the 2009 album Next Level which you can get on Bandcamp and other places and it features almost everyone in Nerdcore it seems. Beefy, MC Frontalot and more.
