After the punk of last week, and following a course at IBM, my brain felt very tired and worn out and in need of a rest. Hence this week’s more acoustic, laid-back feel – just the tonic for a weary mind and body, weakened by talk of ‘architected solutions’, ‘cohesion’ and ‘granularity’. Whatever happened to good-old plain English ?

*** EDIT – the problem has been resolved and the file is now available. Thanks for standing by ! ***

There seems to be a problem getting Show 141 via iTunes – no idea what the problem is this time, but this is really starting to get annoying.

Please either download it directly or hang in there while I tear my hair out trying to get it sorted out…

This week, TFL comes over a bit punk. I seem to have had quite a few punk / alt-punk / ska-punk submissions recently, and I felt the time was right as I was particularly pumped-up and energetic at the time that I decided on the playlist. So, get the DMs on and start practising your best sneer as I play:

For some reason that I can’t fathom, iTunes hasn’t picked up show 139 from last week. It’s shown up everywhere else I normally check, so I’m not sure what the issue is. Until I can get it fixed, please use the download link in the shownotes to grab the file. Apologies for the inconvenience.

For once I feel rather short of words, though listening back to the show I somehow still manage to spout forth for the usual time ! I just put the brain into gear and the mouth goes into automatic… perhaps that’s where my daughter gets it from, rather than from her mother !! Heh heh… Anyway, the ladies go first this week (I’m being well trained, you see) so let’s get started

And the heat goes on… you know it’s unusual when you wake up on a Saturday morning and the outside sensor is wirelesly beaming back the fact that it’s 21 degrees centigrade at 8am, whilst the indoor reading is showing that it’s touching 30 in the bedroom. This is almost too nice to be Scotland at the start of June. But hot it is, and so’s this week’s musical selection. And I’d just like to say “THANKS, COLIN !!” because I unforgiveably forgot to mention it in the podcast – Colin Gazeley of the Ourobouros Podcast kindly recorded the Rosalita bumper for me at a gig he hosted.

Wow – what a cracking and totally unexpected Saturday of sunshine and heat, with the tar melting in the roads. It took me back to the summer of ’76, when I was Jasna’s age and we had weeks of sweltering summer heat where the pavements were melting too. Ah, memories. But enough wallowing in nostalgia, it’s time to consider the now and the new, and three great new bands to the show:

More of a mix this week, both in style and country of origin: UK, Sweden and the US. I’m joined by a little frog in my throat, and I talk about my first appearance on the Made In The UK Show. Just a typical week of TFL waffle, then !
