Well, this was a first – a show recorded on the iPad, live, and flying by the seat of my pants! Other than a slightly fluffed vocal and soudbed coming in a little too soon at the end of one song, it went pretty well (although hearing what I said coming back through the headphones a fraction of a second after I said it was really off-putting). Still, it’s good to try something different every now and again to keep you on your toes. Enjoy the tunes – there’s a real feel of energy behind this week’s selection.

Peur – Explosions

My Cruel Goro – Crapford

Zurich – Chemical / Menace

The soundbed was ‘In The Sky (Original Mix)’ by Karan & Shivil
Three From Leith theme-tune by Alex Aitken

I realised that I’m about to go off on holiday and hadn’t done a podcast since May, so thought I’d better put a quick one together before you think I’ve abandoned you all! Apologies for the rushed feel to the show, but it was done between shopping, packing & cleaning. Enjoy the three great tracks until I get back, and do let the artists know if you like what you hear.

The Kut – I Want You Maniac

Skyline Advantage – Perfect

Emerald Park – Liberteens

The soundbed was ‘In The Sky (Headpockets Pegasus Remix)’ by Karan & Shivil

This week’s podcast is one of those shows which really benefits from being played through a really good pair of headphones. A great selection, which I’m now encoding at a higher than normal bitrate, for you to crank up and jump around to – whether it be in the privacy of your own home or in full public view on the street or in the bus. Immerse yourself in the sheer joy of the music.

Faerground Accidents – She Makes Me Want To Die

The Shy Lips – Bahia Part II

The Slow Readers Club – I Saw A Ghost / Cavalcade

The soundbed was ‘He Said She Said (Offaudio Remix)’ by Karan & Shivil
Three From Leith theme-tune by Alex Aitken

Since there’ll be a new podcast tomorrow, I thought I’d better make sure the auto-publishing is working on WordPress!

If this appears after being auto-published at 19:25, the show should follow in the early hours of tomorrow without any manual intervention.

Stay tuned…..

Apologies – I appear to have been hit by the dreaded WordPress ‘Missed Schedule’ bug where scheduled posts fail to publish at the specified time.

Unfortunately, I was so busy today I forgot to check on whether TFL had published at 5.30am this morning and only remembered tonight. And when I did, Show 287 was MIA…. I’ve rectified that now by manually publishing it so it’s now available to the world!

I’m trying a temporary solution via CRON job on my web hosting for now – and if this post gets published I’ll know that it has worked and will be ready for the next TFL show’s publication date.

Until then – cheerio!

Flu defeated, it’s time for a trip back to the 80s with some eighties-influenced synth-pop from the current day. Hard to conceive that the 80s were 30 years ago, and even stranger to think back to what you were doing back then! So, put on those rose-tinted specs and come with me back to those carefree days of my teens…

Filter Distortion – Black and White

Smoking Ghosts – Dance The Disillusionment Away

I, Us & We – Lanterns

Filter Distortion – Frequency Modulation

The soundbed was ‘Ephemeral Living’ by Zero Project

New year? Check. New kit for recording on? Check. New tunes? Check. Same old blethering? Hell, yeah! It’s true – I’m finally back with a
laptop (thanks, Glen!) and a new external soundcard to create the new TFL recording studio. As I found during the recording though, I need to rearrange my studio workspace to avoid having to lean in to reach the mic & knackering my back… I also have to apologise to The Persian Leaps, as my rustiness meant that during the recording I failed to tell you what their songs were called. All that aside, it’s bloody good to be back!

Peur – Hollow Skies

Seawitches – Stars

The Persian Leaps – Fire Starter / Permission

I know – I’ve been absent again for a VERY long time. There have been a number of reasons for this, but the main one has been that the podcasting PC has not been working and I’ve not been able to record.

However, the acquisition of a used laptop from an ex-work colleague in the last week, followed by the purchase of an external soundcard, means that I am now finally up and running again and I’ll be recording this week for release next Tuesday (27th January).

If there are any subscribers still there, thanks for hanging on and I’ll be in your ears again shortly!

Perma F – Burning Angel

I’m aware that there’s been a TFL drought these past two months. The energy to produce a show has been lacking, and now I’m off on holiday for two weeks. Hopefully the break away will refresh the batteries & rekindle my desire to record.  In the meantime, thanks for bearing with me. Enjoy your summer!
