Time for another Rathole Radio already. No guests this time just an eclectic selection of independent music, a live performance and a ton of incoherent waffling as usual. So put your slippers on, relax and enjoy the show.
39:28 – LIVE TRACK – “Suspicious Minds” by Elvis Presley. I ended up learning this on Valentine’s Day earlier this week. Perhaps it was some sort of subversive measure.
A suggestion from friend of the show @kevie up in Scotland. Shout out to @weeguy and the family, best of health to you! Check out – http://tuxjam.blogspot.com/

Smarten up your acts, put on some pants and sweep that rubbish under the couch. We’ve got guests! Well, a guest (singular) to be more precise. I caught up with Kate from The Teacups to talk folk, biscuits and oddly Noddy Holder. I also played my usual eclectic mix of tunes. Enjoy!
RATHOLE RADIO GIG DATE CHANGE – Now Friday May 11th, make a note!
27:32 – Interview: Kate Locksley from The Teacups. We had a great chat about folk, tea and more.
45:03 – The Teacups – As I Roved Out – License Unknown – A song which Kate picked for us to play and she told us more about it in the intervew.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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!
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.

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

Rathole Radio 66 is upon us, just like winter seems to be. So wrap up warm, get the chicken soup on the go and tap your feet to my eclectic selection of tunes. There’s a live acoustic blues performance.
Apologies for messing up the mp3 download of the last show. It was cutting off halfway through.
45:24 – LIVE TRACK – An old blues classic, “Sweet Home Chicago”. Hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to Rathole Radio number 65. It’s hard to believe we’ve reached 65 already but there it is. I played my usual mix of eclectic independent tunes and chatted away with everyone listening live. I skipped playing an acoustic tune as we had a packed show anyway. I hope you enjoy it
13:56 – M.A.S.T – The Rise Of Eastern Star – License Unknown – This track was an email suggestion from Ratko Vujanovic. This group did the music for a Guild Wars podcast called Relics of Orr apparently.
I played a promo for The Bugcast which is hosted by fellow AMP members Dave and Caroline Lee.
24:12 – A Minor Theory – Dream In Blue – CC BY-NC Licensed – From CCHits – A slice of retro sounding electro pop that I really enjoyed. It has a very 80’s feel.
27:44 – Tabloid – The Junkie Violin Player – CC BY-SA Licensed – From CCHits – A UK band I heard via CCHits and wanted to share with you. Find them on Jamendo.
Check out Kevie’s TuxJam show. Inspired by RR apparently. I’m honoured.
36:06 – Slim – Ghost Island – License Unknown – Another track I heard via fellow Liverpool podcaster Graham Holland. A singer songwriter from Hackney, North London. Buy the album ‘Slim’ and download this track for free from his website.
42:36 – Freak Fandango Orchestra – Requiem For A Fish – CC BY-SA Licensed – I had an email from the band saying their new album Tales Of A Dead Fish was out on Jamendo. They are from Barcelona and I’ve played them before. I like their quirky sound.
Extra Barcamp Liverpool show details – Friday November 18th at 8pm UK time. See the website for venue details and come down. It’s free and everyone is welcome.
51:00 – Cathleen – Hold me – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – From CCHits – Heard this on the CCHits weekly show and liked it a lot. Despite the Irish name and slightly folky sound Cathleen is actually German. Very nice song.
55:53 – Jiboul – Naz-Party – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A track I heard on Jamendo but I’ve actually played the artist before.
I had an email from Ted Strait, also a listener of Linux Outlaws to ask if he could rebroadcast the show on http://www.radioreclaimed.com/. Of course I said yes.
64:00 – David Rovics – Occupy Wall Street – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Friend of the show, former guest and roadshow participant David Rovics with a studio recording of his new song about the reasons to occupy wall street. Obviously a big movement going on right now.

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m sixty four? That’s right Rathole Radio number 64 is upon us. I got most of the tracks from Jamendo this time and they’re full of Creative Commons goodness, plus marrowbone jelly. Ok, no marrowbone jelly but have a listen anyway. You might enjoy them. I also reprised a live version of “Stringman” by Neil Young.
CCHits.net 1st birthday was last week. Great work Jon!
LIVE TRACK: I was a little under-prepared so I asked the IRC for song suggestion and Gamerchick02 mentioned Neil Young. I wanted to play “Stringman” again for everyone. I know I’ve done it before but hopefully you like it.
There’ll be an extra bonus Barcamp Liverpool show on Friday November 18th. More details to follow

Watch out here comes Rathole Radio number 63, peeking out from behind the bushes. We had a great time chatting on Sunday night and I was pleased to exclusively play a new 20lb Sounds studio track for everyone. I also sang one of my favourite songs live and shared my usual blend of eclectic music.
50:51 – LIVE SONG – Counting Crows – Round Here – A favourite song of mine from a favourite band of mine. They had a big influence on my in my music college days. I still love them and the songwriting of Adam Duritz is something I’ve always aspired to.
