Show 62 – Tempting Fate
Listen here or use the player on the right, though I’d love you to subscribe !
I knew it, I really knew it. Me joking about superstition and getting all smug again about at lack of visits from the Flat Tyre Fairy the other week was just tempting fate a little too much. I got one coming home on Friday with five miles still to go, requiring me to remove the back wheel and replace the tube by the side of the cyclepath. This meant I was even less organised when I sat down to record that night, yet from a position of having no music lined up I ended up with a playlist that I was really pleased with. See if you agree.
Isa & The Filthy Tongues – How Many Days
Originally sent to me earlier in the year by their label, the excellent Circular Records, this is a wonderfully raw yet restrained track from their Addiction CD. You can buy it now from Circular Records, or from CDBaby in the US.

Nick & Gerald – Clear Air Turbulence (Redux)
A wonderful, atmospheric track that’s been getting a fair amount of play in podcasting circles recently from the excellent Nick & Gerald. As a Mike Oldfield fan from an early age, Gerald’s guitar work is subtly influenced yet a delight to those who appreciate it. Their new album, Anomaly, is available to buy here now, or for download from iTunes.

Hobotalk – Me & My Mountain
A small world. An old upstairs neighbour of mine is the keyboard player in the sublime, gentle Hobotalk. Little did I know back then that our paths would cross again like this years later. Another winner on the Circular Records label, which is available to buy here.
Hobotalk don’t appear to have a MySpace 🙁

RE: Ripping Valves off your tubes
Hi grant, to help prevent ripping valves from the tubes if you chuck some talcum powder into the tyre when you’re putting things back together it allows the tyre to rotate but not pull the tube around inside the wheel, which is why valves get sheared off. (usually tubes stick to the inside of the tyre after a while)
It also helps to make sure the tyres not too soft so the tyre has less opportunity to rotate on the rim.
Hope these tips help.

Hi Grant
Being 5 hours behind (story of my life actually!) this was a great thing to wake up to this morning. Chalk up an other ardent subscriber. Many, thanks for the opportunity and support, keep ’em coming.

Thanks for the tip Matt ! If I ever have to remove a tyre again, I’ll sprinkle some talc in. Hopefully I won’t have to now I’m on Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres now…. (famous last words)

At the start of the podcast I was going to ask if you could get armour plated bike tyres, as there’s obviously a market for them in Scotland.
I really enjoyed today’s mix. That Nick+Gerald tune seems familiar, maybe I’ve heard it on another scottish podcast 🙂 I never could see the point of Mike Oldfield, though 😉
