Time for another Rathole Radio. The 102nd slice of the pie, it must be one damn big pie. Nobody is watching me post the podcast this week and no students were harmed in the making of this episode. It’s quite a chilled selection this time, maybe it reflects my mood after a long holiday weekend here. I did work in another live track so listen out for that. Enjoy!

Back once again with another episode of Rathole Radio. Number 101. I can feel eyes burrowing into the back of my head as I publish this live in front of a group of students at my radio and podcasting class. They told me to say that, they’re listening, send help quick! Only messing. The usual mix of music and waffle, hope you enjoy it.

07:31 – Nick Tann – Crazy Momma – License Unknown – One from fellow AMP podcaster Nick Tann. This is his latest single. You can grab it at his website.

19:05 – A chat with guest and fellow podcaster Kevin MacPhail. Host of TuxJam about his new show CCJam.

36:15 – Stormy Mondays – Beneath The Gate – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – The song selected by Kevin MacPhail of CCJam and TuxJam podcasts. A fine selection it is too. They’re Spanish not Italian as Kevie and I thought.

41:45 – Visciera – Dancing On The Slope – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A bit of experimental electro for you from Berlin’s Visciera. They’re on the Headphonica label.

52:55 – An audio message from listener Tim Dobson, on a mountain somewhere.

54:42 – 20lb Sounds – Enemies (Rough mix, pre-release) – CC BY-SA Licensed – A sneak peek at the live sessions we’ve been working on for our album. Progress is slow but may this meagre offering serve as slim proof we’re getting somewhere.

61:07 – Ragz Nordset – New August – All Rights Reserved – Taken from a new EP by Ragz. Big thanks to Dave at Mellowtone for tipping me off to this. Really liking the EP, it has a mixture of influences from Kate Bush to Imogen Heap to my ear, plus a good deal of original style mixed in.

70:10 – FM Pilots – No Time To Waste – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A bit of catchy melodic pop-rock to finish off with. Another one I heard via the inimitable CCHits.net.

Well we finally made it. Triple figures baby! There were a few points where it seemed unlikely but we pulled through, you and me. So thank you all for listening and supporting the show over the years. It really means a lot to me. I hope you enjoy this celebration of 100 episodes. There’s a new live song in there too.

Pornophonique – Sad Robot – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – This track appeared on Rathole Radio 6 back on August 9th 2009. It was requested by Spoony78 and it’s undoubtedly a classic.

Rob Warren (You Me Tree) – Good For You – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed (Live At Zanzibar, 2011) – Rob and the band also came to Liverpool for the Easter weekend and joined us. They’ve since taken the name You Me Tree and are still going strong.

Greeting from Jezra

Paul & Storm – The Captain’s Wife’s Lament – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Requested by Tim Stewart via FB. I played this on episode 54 of Rathole Radio June 12th 2011. A great sea shanty from Paul & Storm. I saw them perform this in Manchester with JonTheNiceGuy and one of my abiding memories is him nearly crying with laughter as the song took off.

Corinthians – The Hot One (Live at LEAF, 2012) – License Unknown – Requested by Thomas Sedovic. I discovered the Corinthian’s music when I saw them support the Jungle Brothers in Liverpool one night. I tracked them down and we even had a good long chat on Rathole Radio 76, April 15th 2012. They joined the line up for the Rathole Roadshow 2012 and played this very tune.

LIVE SONG: “Still Alive” by Jonathan Coulton – CC BY-NC Licensed – for Kevin Grenade – Never played this song to anyone else before, learnt it for the show. Hope you like it. I got the lyrics and some chord ideas from here.

The Acousticals – Sally Anne – CC BY-SA Licensed – Suggested by Marc AKA Amsterdam Mack sent an amazing list of his favourite songs from everyone one of the 99 shows so far. I’ve attached the text file for those who want it. Makes a great compilation. This is from RatholeRadio 86 – 9th Sept 2012. Here’s a link to his text list.

Thanks to everyone who responded to the call, sorry if your track didn’t make it in. DiabloMarcus for instance.

Nanowar – Self titled song – CC BY Licensed – Requested by David MN, this track featured as the opener on Rathole Radio 89 back on October 14th 2012. A great piece of melodic metal from these crazy Italian rockers. A fitting way to end I think.

Thanks to Evgeny Kuznetsov for his continued financial support of the show, and not forgetting everyone who clicks the Flattr buttons Thanks to everyone who’s supported the show via Flattr as well. It really makes a difference. It’s very much appreciated and I couldn’t do this without your help. Keep clicking those donate buttons and I’ll keep the tunes coming. Thank you.

I was a day late with this show but hopefully not a dollar short. You’ll hear that my voice was struggling thanks to a bad cold. Hence the delay. I played my usual mix of eclectic tunes and said I’d talk less because of my throat. In fact I probably talked more but did you really expect anything else?

After skipping a show I thought it was high time I got back on track and stopped using excuses like “the dog ate my podcast”. So we’re back in the saddle with the same eclectic mix of music you’ve come to expect and also the same amount of disorganisation from the host.

Ahoy hoy! As Mr Burns would say. It’s another fresh Rathole Radio for you listening pleasure. We had our usual eclectic mix of music, chatter and a live song by request. I hope you enjoy the faire on offer and if you do, send some feedback or make a suggestion for a future show. Happy trails.

00:00 – Paul & Storm – Opening Band – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – I saw Paul & Storm live in Manchester with Jonathan Coulton in 2010. JonTheNiceGuy bought all their stuff on a USB stick with a little contribution from me. He sent me a copy and I have hours of material yet to listen to. Expect to hear more.

08:22 – Loveshadow – The Sweetest Sin – CC BY-SA Licensed – Emailed to me by Nick Daly, along with some other cool suggestions.

22:43 – Jonathan Coulton – Baby Got Back (cover version) – CC BY-NC Licensed – Well known to regular listeners of this show, JoCo is one of the best known CC musicians in the world.

36:32 – The Black Atlantic – Madagascar – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Dutch acoustic warriors who I haven’t played in a long time. They make beautiful music though and you should check them out. They’re doing really well and touring extensively. Check out their debut album on Bandcamp.

Welcome to another Rathole Radio. Creeping ever closer to episode 100 here is the 95th instalment of our little show. I played my usual eclectic mix of music and talked as coherently as possible, i.e – not that coherently. We also saw the return of the live song with a slightly ropey but hopefully charming version of a classic children’s TV theme. Bon apetit.

00:00 – Midi Chips – How Were You – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Picked this one up via CCHits late last year. Midi Chips are from Pori in Finland. Maybe ultraturquiose can tell us how to say that one properly.

07:36 – Sam Page – Pheromones – Licence Unknown – I’ve played lots of tracks by Sam recently and I was pleased to get an email from him about his new album Breach. This track caught my ear and reminds me a little of Beck in places.

17:37 – On Returning – Isn’t There Really A Place For Me In This World? – CC BY-SA Licensed – On Returning are a Swedish group I heard on CCHits. Well worth hunting down. More tracks available on Jamendo. You can also find them on Bandcamp.

28:06 – Visciera – Outline Of An Inexorable Mind – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – I had an email from Florian, the main man behind this. Visciera are based in Berlin, Germany and currently on the excellent Headphonica label. More tracks are available on Free Music Archive.

39:05 – Grandtheft – We Run Dis – License Unknown – I was tipped off about a collective known as Tribe Called Red by listener Armin Krauss. Via them I found this track by Grandtheft on Soundcloud.

44:59 – Live Track: Postman Pat theme – for Moggers87 – Adrian suggests a childrens show theme song series for the live tracks. I think that’s a great call. Send me your suggestions.

49:38 – Jelixa – What You Need To Know – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – The current number one track on Jamendo. A cool slice of pop America’s Jelixa. This is the opening track from her album My Beta Music.

58:09 – Josh Woodward – Faded War – CC BY Licensed – Saw a tweet about this. A new song from Josh Woodward with a very cool video on YouTube.
