Kids, eh? Totally unreliable… 😉 Jasna promised to deliver me some vocal files by Tuesday night, and in the end she didn’t get round to them until Wednesday night, so I’m now set to record on Thursday. I might get the show up before the end of the day, otherwise it’ll be Christmas Eve.

The Christmas Show will be coming your way on Thursday 🙂

Isn’t technology wonderful? Yes, it’s more often than not a wonderful enabler, but when it goes wrong it’s a right royal pain in the backside! Hopefully I’ve resolved my PC issues to a level that – whilst not totally cured – will enable the podcast to proceed with much less trauma than the last few weeks of non-appearances! So, settle back, dust off those ears and enjoy the welcome return of great independent music!

A Family of Strangers – ‘Don’t Forget’

The Boat People – ‘Antidote’

Serial Twin – ‘Things That I’m Fearing’ / ‘I’m Wrong’

The soundbed was ‘Aurora’ by Bryan El

Yes, no joy again this week with the recording. I had to abandon it yet again after many failed attempts to get something which didn’t sound like fragments of a conversation spliced together from odd tapes.

I’m on holiday after Friday 10th, so I’ll get a chance to take an extended period to overhaul the PC, clear out the CPU-hogging nonsense, defrag the HDs and install & run a few clean-up tools. After that, I should be able to get things working again.

Keep your fingers & toes crossed for me!

…that there’s no show this week. I gave up after 90 mins of repeated PC freezes during recording last Friday. If I can get to the root of the problem, I’ll try the same show again next week. Sorry.

Better late than never with the shownotes, now that I’ve won against OpenOffice after an aborted few hours last night! If anyone knows how to delete folders in Vista that won’t delete though, let me know! Enough tech though, on with the show. Low memory on the PC meant that I had to re-record the vocals a number of times to get them out without stuttering losing half of what I had recorded – other than losing my thread, hopefully it’s not too obvious!

Night Noise Team – ‘Burning’

Mars Patrol – ‘That’s What You Get’

The Scottish Enlightenment – ‘Little Sleep’ / ‘Taxidermy of Love’

The soundbed was ‘Ghost Song’ by All India Radio
Three From Leith theme-tune by Alex Aitken

Life is always testing you – sometimes more than others. Between job worries, money worries and other little things, sometimes things just get to to you. Well, that’s me this week. A little more maudlin than usual, but there’s some fine ambient music to help you (and me) to chill a little before the pace is picked up a little by the last two artists.

Other things on my mind this week – yes, the little crawlers have not been completely eradicated so another extremely costly treatment is required. Didn’t really feel in the podcasting mood after finding that out…. hopefully I’ll be back next week!

We bounce off at a slightly obtuse angle this week with a very eclectic selection of tunes from three artists that have all featured on the podcast before. Slightly off-the-wall, tinged with oddness, but all damn good. And there’s also talk of the time-travelling mobile user.
