Depth of winter

I kind of like these winter podcasts. It's almost like a little piece of hope in the middle of winter. 

In any case - we have Fredrik with Black Fur; Faded Paper Figures with B Film; and wrap up our little slice of winter with Brad Laner and Out Cold. 

Warm up a bit - spring is not too far away. 

Still happy

And cranking out podcasts in the new year. This one's an interesting mix - a lot of different styles, but I think they work together, don't you? 

And some repeats here, I think, but one of my resolutions is not to worry about that. We have: The Be Good Tanyas - The Littlest Birds (which sounds like "little-ass birds", I can't listen to it now without thinking of that); Beirut - Mimizan (yes, I do apparently have a boy-crush on Zach Condon); Jamaica - Jericho; and wrapping up with Phoenix (my other boy-crush) - Napoleon Says. 

Well, how can you blame me on Zach Condon - so cute! 

Still happy. 

Totally wired

Three levels of "wired" - each with their own drive. 

We start of with The Fall and Totally Wired (natch); then on to the B-52s and 52 Girls; and wrap up with Stiff Little Fingers and Suspect Device. 

Goddamn! They don't make music quite like that any more. 

 

Moving forward

A few little tunes about moving forward! A good start to the new year. 

We start off with George Harrison and Any Road; then on to Beirut and Santa Fe; and wrap up with kind of the odd one of the bunch, Brian Eno & John Cale with Empty Frame. 

Let's go! 

End of 2011

And it was quite a year! 

So let's have a little fun before we wrap up. Kicking off with David Bowie and Sound & Vision; on to FM Belfast with Noise; and wrapping up with one I've played before but what the hell, The Russian Futurists with Precious Metals. 

Enjoy the end of your 2011, and we'll see you in the new year!
