Daniel Kitson Live In Hull part 2
- A soundtrack to cooking, washing and making the bed. Wild!
Guardian Podcast – Paul Morley interviewing Damon Albarn
- Albarn charmingly says he knows what a show-off prick people take him for, then proceeds to waffle on about all the amazing cultural mind-expanding he’s done and the cool people who want to work with him, and so on. Bless.
First six Get This podcasts
- When the show got axed and it was announced that MMM would take the website down, I diligently downloaded and saved every single podcast. I’d not gotten on board with regular listening at the start, just trying the odd pod here and there, possibly until the team fully gelled in the second year with the addition of Richard Marsland. I thus planned to listen...
Paul Kelly – C
- Nice to hear some latter-day groove-based stuff here, though let down by the acoustic framing

Junior Boys – So This Is Goodbye
Soulwax - Part Of The Weekend Never Dies
Daniel Johnston live in the studio on FBi Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds at ATP Cockatoo Island Jan 2009 - lol reminder of Nick forgetting lyrics Princess Superstar – My Machine - last hip-hop concept album before Cuban Linx 2?

Tensnake – Bodytonic Five Tracks
Strictly Kev – Kev’s Kraftwerk Kovers Kollection 5
DJ Shadow and DJ Krush – Mo’Wax Headz tour at Sankeys Soap, Manchester, 9/11/1994 (first side of someone’s tape)
- Very 1994, and obviously Shadow at this point – Biggie, Bahamadia and Flava...
Kano live at the Jazz Café for the Electric Proms 07? - ha, he says “don’t let the name of the venue fool you, we gonna make it grimey in here!,” then proceeds to jazz the fuck out for 45 minutes My Name Is Tiga episode 7.2 - ah okay, not quite so old, he’d started recording with Gonzo already
The Two Tones (with Daniel Kitson) – RRR 12/1/10
Richard Fidler – live Conversations thingy with Bettina Arndt and Linda Jaivin on female libido
- Unsurprisingly, they differ in their opinions

Guardian Music Podcast interview with Gonzales
- Focussing on...
Tensnake – RA.187
Fat Freddy’s Drop – live at Koko 18/12/05
Hackney Podcast – Edition 16 (Hackney Empire)
George Martin BBC doco thingy part 2
- More Big Trainery from Mr Martin, not enough geeky playing with multitracks by the doco makers.
Simian Mobile Disco – FACT mix 107
- Surprisingly boring! Poor BDO kiddies.
Savage Love 165
Savage Love 166
- Lesbians and cuckolds.
The Two Tones on RRR 5/1/10
- Would you credit it, lots of chat about 80s movies and footballers’ erections!
Phantom Slasher – Puddle & Spout
- Remarkably funky for such rigid edits!
Gomez – If I Ask You Nicely (triple j tv vodbyte)
- Such polite boyzzzzz
Dinky – Fact Mix 105
- Quite pretty! Gets musclier about 25 mins in.

-perhaps I was foolish not to buy tix to this for next month
Pet Shop Boys – Christmas EP
...
Idjuts - SNL2
base58.com - 00s instrumentals part 3
Rock Da World Radio with Rex The Dog part 1
- No Rex in this part, except for the Frenchies responsible dropping some of his tunes and remixes.
Ween – 2006-08-01 State something - a Quebec-heavy set, reaffirming that I missed nothing by sitting that one out. Good recording though. Madness – The M.I.S. Live Tape, side 1 - so artefacty! Dubbed from a compilation tape originally sent out to fan club members in the 80s. And not just audibly compiled from reference cassettes, at times it even sounds like the edit was done on a boombox....
Savage Love 164 - Actually, I think the dude should stop his aspie slut sister from marrying the virgin. Richard Fidler – 612 Conversations with John Rendall and Anthony “Ace” Bourke - step-by-step “and tell us about” recounting of their book about rearing a lion cub in a 1960s London furniture shop. Marc Maron – WTF 25 with Janeane Garofalo - She lives with her rock drummer boyfriend Pete,...
Marc Maron – WTF 24 live at UCB LA
- Maria Bamford sounds maddeningly cute. Someone put her on a comedy gala or panel show so I can indulge this reaction further (or dispel it, I suppose.)
Automating and Crab Smasher at Difficult Music Festival in Sedition Gallery, Darlinghurst
- Humid.
The Moth – Simon Doonan: Fear Of Squat
- Queeny, chatty.
Oasis live at BBC Electric Proms 08: - hadn’t heard any new songs since whichever album had Fuckin’ In The Bushes on it was on the radio. Holy shit, Songbird is so bad that even Liam pulls his head away from the mic at the end of every line as though he’s too embarrassed to let them out properly. What the hell are these people hooting at Daniel Craig? Well done on resurrecting the 1972 George...
Adam Carolla with Bryan Cranston
Base58.com – 00s instrumentals part 2
Richard Fidler – 612 Conversations with Ray Martin
- disappointingly obsequious interview about how he’s never talked about his deadbeat dad until the ingeniously titled autobiography Ray.
The Reels live at Becks Bar
- an underwhelming fifth line-up since their reformation a year and a half ago
Severed Heads live at Becks Bar
- reuniting just to split, Ellard has spent most of the prep time...
Idjut Boys – More Or Less
Very chilled, not really motivating me to work fast. Recommended!
Gerling – Bachelor Pad 7”
Public Enemy at Days Like This
triple j’s Before Too Long – the Paul Kelly Tribute TV version
- Unsurprisingly reverent, not much reconstruction. I wonder if the actual show was 2 hours long and more interesting? This TV edit is a mere 57 minutes, though at least the...
Idjut Boys – Noid Long Player
- Some really tight edits in this one, every track sounds busy.
J. Period – The Best Of The Roots
-not as mighty as the Q-Tip one, but shit swings nicely and the re-versionings are fun
The Temper Trap – Like A Version 27/11/09
- Hey wow they love Bruce Springsteen but didn’t get to see him at Glastonbury because they had to fly to Finland...
Paul Kelly – A-B
- I waited 26 months for the full set of Kelly’s every-song-ever live downloads to be serialised, and now I have 530mb of the bastards to listen to.
Midnight Oil live at the National Convention Centre, Canberra, 12/3/09
- I went to their proper secret reunion show last time they were warming up for a charity gig, which was magnificent – on the Northern...

- A drunk host, John Darnielle, Tony Shaloub, and a curse being placed on Bill Pullman and Julia Stiles live on air.
Jane Kennedy and Wendy Matthews on The Conversation Hour with Brian Nankervis and Jon Faine
- Faine tugs it re: Joni Mitchell
Cat Power, Neon Indian, Theo Parrish, Roots Manuva, Ugly Duckling, The...
Dexter & Grrrilla Step at Martin Place
The Black Armband Band in the Domain
Al Green in the Domain
Todd Edwards – FACT Mix 109
- Squelchy mixing, sped-up vocals, but a loping pace maintained throughout – ace running material
Tim Sweeney – Part 2 of Beats In Space 20/10/09
- Having seen him live again recently, it’s interesting how BiS is so often deep, compared to how party-rocking his sets for an audience are
Lee “Scratch” Perry – BBC 6Mix 20/5/2007
- Done for...
Little Boots live at Glasto again
- still really good.
Craig Mathieson and Ronan Keating on the 774 Conversation Hour with Jon Faine and Myf Warhurst
- Keating’s accent is so lovely I almost want to listen to a song. Mathieson has exactly nothing to say about his book, which doesn’t bode well. The Sell-In was a mess, too.
Shit Robot on Beats In Space 20/10/09
- ...
Hot Chip – One Life Stand - heard it playing in the record shop and went looking for it. Annie – Don’t Stop / All Night EP - this could have been a good pop follow-up to the first album – especially if she’d worked with Xenomania then – but just feels too late and undercooked now. Will still listen a couple more times to try and find a way in. Darren Emerson – Global Underground 020 –...
Primal Scream on the Breezeblock, 15/12/1997 (first half, up to where someone flipped the tape during a Mary Anne Hobbs ident)
- Primal Scream mixing records in 1997, and playing dub, ragas, PiL and Free Satpal Ram, you say? Fan my surprised flush! I wonder if they might expose us to some Can in the second half? Mind, that home-made-sounding organ and drum jam before the version of...
Madness live in London’s Regent St (Absolute Radio?)
JD Twitch - Optimo Podcast 3 - Take A Stroll Through Your Mind
- Wait, what’s all this 70s rock music? I wish I hadn’t put this on for the gym, and had read Homicide in bed with it instead
Beats In Space 11/10/09
-Jerry Fuchs tribute should have bumped the last hour (DJ Nori mix). BBD in full effect! More rock music opening Marcus...
The Full Frontal Album - Shaun Micallef’s first go at putting out an old-school comedy album. I can’t tell how much is repurposed from the show and how much is new, but there’s definitely at least some new stuff. The Laurels and Smudge at the Excelsior
- Morgz got bored during Missing You, put his guitar down and took the mic into the crowd to watch the band. Rob Cranney came out of the crowd...
Mariachi El Bronx – Like A Version session
- Hosted by the new boys, Tom & Alex. “If mariachi is wrong, I don’t want to be right!” – this is the kind of creative comedy that gets you a national breakfast radio show at 19, folks.
Primal Scream live at the Paradiso, Amsterdam 1994-05-05
- Wonder if the short radio edit was bcz of smack-addled laziness? Good vers of I’m...
Radio National Breakfast interview with Shaun Micallef and Stephen Curry
- V glad I didn’t risk going to their Pete & Dud covers show, there really didn’t feel like any zing or snap from their interaction here
Robbie, Marieke & the Doctor interview Paul Kelly 11/11/2009
- And Mr Kelly sounds uncomfortable being spoken to repeatedly about how awesome triple j’s tribute...

Base58.com – 00s Instrumentals mix part 1
- Reading Homicide on the sofa. Obviously mixed from mp3s, judging by fidelity ups and downs.
Later With Jools Holland S35 ep 10
– nothing much in this bar The Big Pink, and that’s a stretch. Trevor Horn’s interview was a waste, as though Frankie was the only thing he ever did. Cooked an omelette.
Roisin Murphy – Ruby Blue
Washington – Like A...
NPR podcast: 20091130_me_12
- Neil Gaiman talks to folks about audiobooks. Listened while falling asleep at 6am
