Eclectic Mainline 16th March 2011

Well, I didn’t get half the tunes I wanted to get in tonight.  Grrr.  Many had to be held over to next week.  While I was on, the 2011 Bradford International Film Festival was getting under way.  If you’re in Bradford you should defintely try and get along to see at least one film during the festival.  It is always really amazing the number of great films they manage to find.

If you missed tonight’s show, you can listen again for up to 4 weeks.  Here’s the video to the Bibio tune I played:

Here’s a full list of what I played:

Selection Box Shows 161, 162 & 172

Yes, yes, I know that this new numbering system is not sequential. I did go to school, as demonstrated by the fact that words like “sequential” pour out of my fingers without so much as a pause to blow my nose. Simple counting is not something which I find a major problem – though don’t ask me to help with your algebra homework because you’ll be given short shrift. And I’ve forgotten how to do it anyway (though from memory, I recall it was surprisingly easy).

Time, however, is something I seem to have appalling problems with, and once again the weeks have slipped past and I am even further behind than I was previously. Luckily, the teething troubles that have been preventing Selection Box from appearing on BCB’s new Listen Again feature now appear to be ironed out, and you can now listen to this week’s show again here. A pincer movement from either end will therefore help us to get back up to date, so here’s two shows as yet uploaded to the blog brought to you by the loveliness of Soundcloud, starting with a seasonal “treat” from December which also features that there Albert Freeman. Merry Christmas.

Selection Box Shows 159 & 160

I was informed this week of the exciting news that BCB has gone live with a Listen Again feature, which should make things a bit easier in terms of blogging, and it will now mean yet another way that you can decide not to listen to my programme.

However, due to a slight teething problem, Selection Box is currently missing form the Listen Again list, and as they only remain for a month and I am still over a month behind on playlists I’ll not use a link to the Listen Again feature just yet as I continue the catch up.

Courtesy of these lovely Soundcloud players you can listen to these shows again for a limited period (probably about the length of time it will take to stop vomiting after watching that Paul Whitehouse as a ghost advert). Sadly due to copyright and such blah the show cannot be made available as a downloadable file.

Selection Box Shows 157 & 158

Two more shows for you to place wrap your side-head flaps of aural-catcher flesh around. One day I will catch up to the present day. And then I will probably self-destruct.

Selection Box Shows 155 & 156

Two more shows for you as I continue my attempt to catch up to present day parity.P&PeteTommyHeadWestbourneStudios22Sep2007

Show 155 saw the chocolate-throated thespian Pete Gallagher take time out of his schedule with the touring production of Oklahoma! – at that time playing at the Bradford Alhambra – to come and lark about with me in the studio for a bit. Pete and I have known each other since he brought life to a bloody great red robot called Tommy whilst I pretended to be a pretentious Nick Broomfieldesque documentary maker, and he’s quite one of the loveliest and funniest people I have the pleasure of knowing and I’d very much like to lick him all over; made out of chocolate or not.  Quite why he’s prepared to associate with a miserable shit like me is really anyone’s guess.

You can view Pete’s metallic appearance (and my wooden one, before anyone else does that joke) here:

Anyway, courtesy of this lovely Soundcloud player you can listen to these shows again for a limited period (probably about the length of time it would take to collect enough earwax to make a bust of Ronnie Corbett’s head). Sadly due to copyright and such blah the show cannot be made available as a downloadable file.

Eclectic Mainline 5th January 2010 – a pea new ear!

snow-pea-01

There’s nothing like a good pun.  And that was nothing like a good pun.  I couldn’t find a picture of an ear that didn’t make me feel a little ill, so I spared you that one as well as the pea.

This is what I played tonight, a mixture of new and old tunes, as this is traditionally a quiet time for new releases:

School Of Seven Bells – “I L U” (single) (Full Time Hobby)
Wanda Jackson – “Thunder On The Mountain” (LP – “The Party Ain’t Over”) (Third Man)
Mogwai – “Mexican Grand Prix” (single) (Rock Action)
The Decemberists – “Down By The Water” (single) (Rough Trade)
The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart – “Heart In Your Heartbreak” (single) (Fortuna Pop!)
Girls – “Heartbreaker” (single)
Deerhoof – “I Did Crimes For You” (LP – “Deerhoof vs Evil”) (ATP)
Vision Of Trees – “No Flag” (single)
Low – “Taking Down The Tree” (LP – “Christmas”) (Tugboat)
Gruff Rhys – “Shark Ridden Waters” (single) (Turnstile)
PVT – “Window” (single and LP – “Church With No Magic”) (Warp)
Jonny – “Candyfloss” (single) (Turnstile)
Allo, Darlin’ -  “My Heart Is A Drummer” (single) (Fortuna Pop!)
HEALTH – “USA Boys” (LP – “Disco 2) (City Slang)
The La’s – “Feelin'” (LP – “The La’s”) (Go! Discs)
The Go! Team – T.O.R.N.A.D.O. (single) (Memphis Industries)

Selection Box Shows 151 & 152

Oh, alright, I give in.  Months have passed by with me trying to write something interesting whilst also catching up on playlists.  We’re now into 2011 and I’m still giving you lists from October.  I’ve had enough of being miles behind, so I’m going to bite the bullet and just shove up the show lists and start afresh once up to date.  So here’s two more.

Selection Box Show 150

The featured track for this show is the first single from the new album by Liverpool’s surgically-masked noiseniks Clinic.

Now on their 6th album, this track demonstrates a rarer toe tip into a rather lovely lilting dreamy sound for which the band are not often noted. Thankfully, the full thrust of the album, entitled Bubblegum, doesn’t entirely dismiss the minor key guitar howls and Philips Philicorda keyboard wibbles. They say if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. It’s nice to tinker though, eh. Ruddy marvellous.

Courtesy of this lovely Soundcloud player you can listen to this show again for a limited period (probably about the length of time it would take for a hedgehog to consume an entire wheelbarrow of slugs). Sadly due to copyright and such blah the show cannot be made available as a downloadable file.
