Podcast 4 - Just Dance (Part 2)

It’s here! Part 2 of Just Dance, two podcasts playing the cream of 80’s/90’s dance ‘tunes’, as the kids say. In this one, we’ve got Underworld, Robert Miles, Culture Beat and yet more Prodigy and Happy Mondays! Can you afford not to dance to this podcast? When yes you can, but please give it a go anyway! www.sexandthemudhuts.blogspot.com

Podcast 3 - Just Dance (Part 1)

What would you say if I gave you these names - Faithless, New Order, The Prodigy and The Happy Mondays? Erm, that was quite rude and uncalled for, to be honest. And no, I'm not one of them! This is part 1 of 2 podcasts devoted to 'proper' dance music of the 80's, 90's and 00's

A Good Harte

We’ve had Trolls and we’ve had Trolls. Then there was John Harte. John, a man so peeved that his beloved Joe McElderry was beaten to the Christmas Number 1 spot by a ‘noisy-shouty band’, decided to set up his own Facebook group for X Factor fans to apply for free RAGE gig tickets and not turn up. Sadly, for him at least, his plan did not work. Now, a band of Ragers have set up a special place of worship to our deity, a place where you can share stuff that you HARTE – The RAGE Lonely Hartes Club Band. So it’s with great pleasure that I present this special mix of Harte-related songs, on behalf of the group. This mp3 file includes tracks from Bruce Springsteen, Nirvana, Aztec Camera, Oasis and erm, Heart. Am I purposely naming the decent artists to cover up the blatantly cheesy ones? You bet I am. It’s an hour and a bit of fun. Just stay tuned right until the very end because there may be a little something AFTER all of the Hartewank has finished! Cheers!

Podcast 2 - How's That For An Art Attack? (A Marseille Special)

I had the pleasure of watching 70’s rock band Marseille last week, who have Art Attack presenter, Neil Buchanan, on lead guitar. I enjoyed the gig immensely and it was great to see a childhood hero like Neil, in the flesh!I’ve managed to get hold of the band’s EP and an interview they did with Keith Thompson of 7 Waves Radio, last year. The interview is very in depth and will give you a good background to the band. Of course, the interview is spilt up with Marseille’s music, which I have mixed together, along with a couple of live tracks!I tried to make an audio recording of the gig, but sadly the sound quality isn’t listenable! Although, I have managed to salvage the band’s introduction at the gig, which has been edited into a 1 minute clip and is played at the start of this podcast! Enjoy and don’t forget to check out the Marseille website and MySpace page

Podcast 1 - This Is Music

I've put together some of my favourite tracks from various bands of the last 30 years, who all hail from my native North West England. I've mixed them into a podcast for your listening (dis)pleasure! Think of it as a Chris Moyles podcast, but without the shit jokes and shit music! If you're into stuff like Joy Division/New Order, Doves, The Smiths, Cast, Stones Roses etc (and of course, Wigan bands such as The Verve, The Railway Children and Starsailor) - you'll love it! It's about an hour and a half of pure (or poor, whichever you prefer) music! My Podcast Alley feed! {pca-50f986b5791682524833b1848cdb5f34}
