Plentycast #8

Brr... bit nippy out isn't it? Luckily, this podcast is brought to you by two of the finest words in this situation - "central" and "heating". I did take up my own advice at the start of the show and turned the heating up and got a nice cup of tea (no cat to curl up with on the sofa alas, not now that Simba's moved away (he was a neighbour's cat who used to frequent the stair and subsequently my flat!)) I really should get a cat of my own one of these days...

So yes, I've survived a three gig week, something that would have been impossible while I was racking up 100+ hours of flexi-time in my last job (I was so tired that I would have been lucky to make three gigs in a month!) so I have to say that it's been something of a success. There's another podcast folly of a repeat artist 2 shows in a row, but The National are worth it and I've got a wee bit to say about their spellbinding show in Glasgow a couple of days ago.

The next show should have a Godspeed You Black Emperor ATP theme, for that's where you'll find me next weekend. I'll hopefully draft in some special guests to have a chat about the weekend and maybe do a wee round up at the end of each day. We'll work out who's Charles Colvile and who's Bob Willis and "Harmy" later on...

Jocky sez "click me"...

Another fine mix C. It was oddly thrilling to hear 'About A Girl' once again. That surge of guitar in the middle is hugely satisfying. Also thought your comments on Eska were 'vert to the max'. That's a magic song that. Am also looking forward to the ATP special. Maybe we should do guerrilla style interviews with Yomul Yuk/ The Berg Sans Nipple??! Might I suggest that you look to bolster the numbers of listeners by playing nowt but Of Montreal/ Patrick Wolf/ anything of that 'am dram' shite??? Millions of 'Indie' fans can be wrong and often are...word...

Just catching up with these while in a quiet spell in the madhouse, once again smashing.
A few gems in there I'd never heard in there too.
