Listen to the podcast!]]> http://www.last.fm/user/mephisto_dark/journal/2009/12/05/37pmzi_podcast_episode_57:_the_uk_by_way_of_idaho,_ny,_ga_and_ca Sat, 5 Dec 2009 06:11:09 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/mephisto_dark/journal/2009/12/05/37pmzi_podcast_episode_57:_the_uk_by_way_of_idaho,_ny,_ga_and_ca Yeah, so I’m running low on creativity these days. Apologies for the Podcast title. Anyway, it’s been a busy couple months as we wound down our Indie Of The Year contest at the end of October. Full steam ahead with some new site features, coming soon!

Today’s podcast starts out in the UK, heads over to Athens, Georgia then takes a trip to Brooklyn, stopping by California and ending up on Long Island. No real theme to this one except all great music that I’ve been into recently.

Here’s a breakdown of the playlist:

All Is Vanity – Manic Street Preachers (Journal For Plague Lovers)
Cornerstone – Arctic Monkeys (Humbug)
Made to Disappear – The Twilight Sad (Forget the Night Ahead)
My Halo – Atlas Sound (Logos)
Planting Seeds – Built to Spill (There is No Enemy)
No Intention – Dirty Projectors (Bitte Orca)
I Get Lonesome – Beck (One Foot In The Grave)
Gasoline – Brand New (Daisy)

Emmy, or better known as Archelon on Music Emissions took over the mic for this one and presents some great British acts you probably haven't heard of. Well, you should!

Hi all, this week’s podcast is brought to you direct from sunny (?) Manchester, where we’ve got a new wave of indiepop emerging from the depths of Britain’s underground clubs and pretentious indie cafes. And I (Archelon) am here to introduce you to some of them. Here’s the lineup:

The Candle Thieves – The Sunshine Song
The Hot Melts – Edith
Raygun – Just Because
The xx – Crystalised
Let’s Tea Party – Reptiles
And my classic rewind of the week: Blur – Entertain Me

It’s my first podcast for Music Emissions, I hope you all enjoy it and if not I promise to keep my mouth shut from now on.

I’ve got 30 minutes worth of music and the rough theme throughout all of the songs will be revealed if you listen closely and figure out the song titles. I won’t be given them away at all.
I will, however give you the bands and albums:

Metric (Fantasies)
Chairlift (Does You Inspire You)
Elsiane (Hybrid)
This Will Destroy You (Young Mountain)
Red Hot Chili Peppers (The Uplift Mofo Party Plan)
The Weakerthans (Reunion Tour)
Placebo (Battle for the Sun)
