September Pottacast





















Apologies this is posted twice and neither will delete! Nearly the end of the month, however here is the September Pottacast, once again a side A and B.

Getting straight to business with Canon Blue [itunes and emusic]and 'Odds and Ends'. Ignore the rather sixth form ramblings on last.fm about him. See what I mean? I'm sure I've read he is from Nashville, but the more I think about it, the more I think that can't be true. He sounds as far removed as an artist from Nashville, in my mind at least should sound.

'Is there a ghost' has been heavily blogged. I'm not a big Band of Horses fan. Having said that I think this a fine single and there is always one stunning track on each of their records ('Weed Party' on the last). Find them here at itunes.

The Galactic record is incredibly good leftfield Hip-Hop. Tragically, I'm a big fan of 'outros' and the Bonobo version of Alice Rusell's 'Mirror-Mirror...' has one that produced a satisfying nod from me at least.

Caribou [emusic], Banhart [itunes], Damien Jurado [itunes] and Iron and Wine [itunes] don't need much of an intro. The latters track has a astrange dub feel to it, hence the lead into Ticklah. He has some great honky dub on his side that is well worth hunting out. The Maria Hansen record is beautiful and Akron, odd as usual. The track here is probably the most straightforward. Nothing as good on this album though as their last.

Jingle- Rangles

There seems to be some call on the Guardian Football Weekly forum for the safe return of the jingle.

According to podhost James Richardson they have been removed, not because they became 'a little tedious' , but as men in suits realised they may infringe certain copyright laws.

You can still find some here in the Old Jingles Home.

Funky16Corners




Excellent post here on the always brilliant funky16corners blog. The guy is 45, which next to 33 and for those who make it, 78 are pretty important ages for him as the fella is a DJ with a somewhat exhaustive knowledge of his genres. He was probably born between 12:00 and 12:10. Happy birthday.

The whole blog is always full of inspirational soul and funk. Every week there is a new album length mix of tracks - available mixed or as zipped up mp3's - with posts highlighting artists and styles slotted in amongst them.
