new life presents asthmatic astronaut
Tonight's episode of New Life features an exclusive live session from Asthmatic Astronaut. Originally a member of Scottish hip-hop pioneers and internationally renowned live act Underling, Asthmatic Astronaut has been releasing glitchy, woozy, beautiful electronica through labels such as Tru Thoughts, Wah Wah 45s and his own Black Lantern Music (www.blacklanternmusic.com) since 2009. He has been described by The Skinny as "one of the most exciting artists currently working in Scotland" and he played a blinding set for us in Bloc a few months ago, so needless to say we're hugely excited about his performance on tonight's show.

We're back to normal service this week - one man, one pair of Calvin Classics Under-briefs, one set of Tommy Hillfinger Summer Spectacles and 14 days - scouring the global music blogosphere in his neverending search for the "ultimate chOOn!!".
On this week's programme we take in Arabic Classical-Disco-Funk, Israeli Surf-Jams, Yemeni Guitar-Psych, Mr. chOOn!! buys a record (sacrilege), Tunisian Minimal Groove, rare African Highlife, an incredible set of Future-Synth Library Nuggets and much more... chOOn!! in!

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 26.05.12
There's some notable new music releases coming at you in the next few weeks, namely Japandroids' follow-up to 2009's "Post-Nothing" as well as the long awaited new El-P record. I've got some advance cuts from those LPs here in the first half of this episode, which has a hectic, non-stop flow. The second half of this one is a droney, slow-moving beast owing largely to this week's recommended record: Horseback's "The Gorgon Tongue: Impale Golden Horn + Forbidden Planet" compilation. Hope you enjoy the variety here. Just doin' my thing (with a little help from Tim this week).
No show on the 2nd of June I'm afraid - I'm off to Primavera Sound in Barcelona. I'll be back on the 9th, maybe with some cool stories, who knows.

The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 23.05.12
After another wee stint out of the studio the boys are back in the studio to present you with more Cheek straight from the studios of Subcity Radio, where else?
Callum is out of the studio, and has been for the past few weeks, but do not fret, as the Kev and Miks are joined by the one and only Captain Sensible, Chris.
Throughout the show we are introduced and get to know the man taking Callum's place for this week, and once we feel comfortable with him we dive right into some classic and new cheek. Defend the indefensible, Pitch it, Teen Talk, the favourites all the there. As well as the addition of their new section: BULLSHIT.
Any suggestions/queries/insults? We'd love to hear them, get in touch via Facebook or alldaycheeky@gmail.com
More soon from the Cheeky Republic
Until then,
Over and out, Bacon Fries.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 25.05.12
After an interview with John Osbourne - who is coming back to the Edinburgh Fringe with John Peel's Shed - Vile tries to capture the spirit of the great DJ by making a mess of everything. He talks to the Electric String Quartet in advance of their opening show at the Oran Mor, and gets over-excited by records he has found in the office. Again.
Luckily, Serocell has discovered some tracks for him to play...

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 04.05.12
A presenter who not only knows their stuff, but can talk about it in an intelligent and accessible manner?
Of course, the VileArts has a guest this week - Hiftu Quasem, from Bollywood Box (http://www.subcity.org/shows/bollywoodbox/) helps Vile out with some musical cuts and a quick conversation about Bollywood's history and her new show's vision.
This is followed by a trip back to the early 1980s - musically at least - and a visit to the art in The Arches' basement, Marcus Roche talking of Mayfesto and a visit from future co-host and composer Matthew. a realatively quiet week, then: but where is Producer Harry?

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 13.04.12
Vile's shambolic organisation and presentation style has always been rescued by the quality of his guests: as Producer Harry has often noted, it's a testament to the generosity of the art scenes that they are willing to come on and give the Radio Hour some class.
Kicking off with a special interview with Scottish Ballet's choreographer, chatting with Howie Reeve about his many projects, calling up Svend Brown to find out about minimal extreme, the show descends to chaos as 85a arrive to talk about their wonder extended cinema project...

complicated compilations
A visit from Edinburgh's anarchic clown Ali Maloney sets the tone for Vile's latest foray into the excitement of Scotland's cultural scene. Alan Millar, from RPZ, pops in to chat about the history of New York gender art (there's some spectacular swearing...) and extracts from an interview with Ann Liv Young brings The Srches' Behaviour Festival to the fore.
Special guests from new Subcity show Western Learnings look on in shock as they experience how Vile runs the show... from great guest to disaster and back again.

Lee Moses...WHAT a man!
He's been through the washer by the sounds of things.
Today we play tracks selected from the recently procured Lee Mosses album "Time & Place". A truly beautiful record, jam packed with emotion, soul and scratchy lo-fi guitars, just how we like it here on Funky Junk.
Due to the recent summer melt-wave as well, we thought it apt to squeeze in some SKA and Reggae tracks to to feast your ears to in the garden or park!
Expect covers, horns, twangy guitars, tortured souls, sunshine supermen, questionable production value, but most importantly, HARD HITTIN' SOUL!

last year's summer kisses
"Something is better than nothing" 8th June 2011 http://www.subcity.org/shows/kaleidoscope/1cf21/
For the last few days Glasgow has been basking in glorious sunshine and sweltering temperatures. Inevitably, 'Our Dear Green Place' gets swamped by pasty bodies on every grassy park spot available and there isn't a bun left on the supermarkets shelves for your crispy BBQ delights. I find that when thoughts turn to summer so does your music selection. My colleague talked of how she had packed away her winter coats and had brought her summer wardrobe down from the attic, I'd apply that same sentiment to my music collection. The dreary winter tones were subbed in with the more uplifting, "spring in your step" beats for the fresh months of March and April. Now it's time to unwind, grab a cool drink and enjoy music fit for a postcard of memories in moments where we find ourselves dreaming of the months ahead spent travelling, relaxing and feeling that city heat that comes but once a year.
Last June I finished the show by making a Summer tape, an a & b side at 45 minutes each to capture my outlook for the months ahead...on a personal note it's funny to remember how this was all entangled with the possibility of Summer love, again, it's a charming sentiment that can only ever possess your heart at this time of the year. Whilst sitting in the sun, the mixtape from this episode came on, it's nice to look back and see how the show has progressed a year on, how songs from the playlist have taken on new meaning or hold new memories but either way, it's humbling to know that this particular selection of songs still induce the same excitement for the hazy, lazy days of the Summer months that are just around the corner.
Love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes xx

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 24.05.12
Fuck, The Awkward Sons have missed you. We needed a break, we know, but that never stopped it hurting.
Days spent in our pants on the sofa, inexorably adding to the growing pile of tear-soaked ring-pulls on the floor didn't do anything for our self esteem. But we're over all that now. We've grown. We've matured. So it's time we came crawling back, begging for clemency.
But we couldn't come empty-handed. A peace offering for our weeks of neglect seemed like the decent thing to do. And what a fucking offering it is...
Strap your gigantic asses in for 60 minutes of primitive 1950s proto-techno, a brand new studio battering from Japan's greatest export (Fushitsusha, obviously!), some tour-only 7" action from Sublime Frequencies, skin-peeling acid psych from way back when, a bunch of home-made Australian instrument blurt and prime meat from the new Shackleton box set.
Hop in the shower, sweet thing. We'll be right over.

summer begins...
So it's the final episode of Synth on Subcity tonight before broadcast ceases for the summer, and with the sun finally making a long overdue appearance we've got nothing but straight flavour to hit you with. We'll be kicking this off with some exceptional new music from the likes of Esa & Mervin Granger, Mirrors and This Is I before jumping head-first into a specially extended mix by Dominic Martin.
Having been a main fixture on the Glasgow scene for a number of years, Dominic has made a name for himself as one of the city's most prolific producers, recently releasing a benchmark album entitled 'A Journey In Deep House' on Lost My Dog. Specialising in jacking Chicago House with a deep-burning groove, Dominic has caught the attention of such luminaries as Roger Sanchez and Lee Curtiss, finding favour with his regular remixes and outstanding original work. Expect his mix to round off this year's broadcast in outstanding style..

it's beautiful this time of year
On this week's show, we reminisced about high school protests gone awry, discussed the expression "breadwinner", and pondered about people with slogans on their T-shirts.
We also debated on whether or not sneakers on women was a good look, observed that people are becoming generally less aware of their surroundings, and discussed the phrase "it's beautiful this time of year."
We also pondered about why society looks down upon the indifferent, reminisced about toasting bread over the fireplace, and debated on what the big deal was about the beach.
We also discussed our upcoming gig: Redwings, Hivver, and No Comet at Stereo, Glasgow, on 23 May. More information here.

everybody in this bitch gettin' tipsy
Tonight's show was a truly special one, if I say so myself. Starting off with an extract from a killer mixtape by DJ 2Mello and Donnell Jones, I followed up with some choice club hits, mixed live for your dancing pleasure.
This party mix is a sample of the set I did for Lock Up Your Daughter's RnB & Hip Hop Special in December 2011 and my smutty love letter to my nearest and queerest. Get in on the action by listening again, turning up your speakers loud, and dancing like everyone is watching. You gotta shake yo ass.
If you like what you hear, write me a love letter and send it to bounceglasgow@gmail.com. Also, if it puts you in the mood, hit me up and we'll hit the club; I'll teach you how to dougie.

It will of course have passed you by if you don't like footie (what's the matter with you?!) but it seems Glasgow's being invaded today for a wee game of football by our friends in the east. In the spirit of hot guys in footie kit, She Said embraces this event and digs deep into its archives for some music with even the vaguest connection to football and Edinburgh.

a beacon of soul
Soulful Allsorts has its roots in a one off show I did on Subcity way back in in the early days. Dougal Perman heard it and when he set up Radiomagnetic it had a soul show on a Saturday. A regular guest was Fraser Dunn who gained his own show on a Sunday and eventually we moved over to Subcity.
Prior to that Malcolm Thwaite had done several shows on Subcity in its FM only days. He focussed on the sounds that came out of Memphis and other southern studios. There were very few soul shows on the internet prior to 2000. Mr Fine Wine who was on WFNU was one. Now there are hundreds.
We like to think we're still true to the original aim of playing what we think is soul and not be bounded by genres, sub classification, venues, countries and labels. We think soul is music is still being produced, high quality soul too not just records aping the classic styles of the sixties and seventies.
And yes we do feature those classic styles but we're not restricted by them.
We play soul from original sources mostly vinyl, CDs, occasionally MP3 downloads and if we ever find a cassette only release we have a Walkman on standby.

Vivid vignettes of breaking hearts uncovered with one voice and one piano.
Aidan Moffat & Bill Wells perform songs from Everything’s Getting Older, an album that doesn't shirk from its lofty aspirations, taking on “the universal cycles of birth, life and death” with wit and sparsity.
These songs are set amongst spoken words of fringe/counter-cultural poets, spatial experiments and guru punk.
NB This broadcast includes the first listen to a track from the forthcoming record by Peter Zummo on Optimo.

burning the midnight oil
On this weeks show, we debated on when a "haircut" becomes just "hair", named our favourite sitcoms featuring dogs, and told a story about finding a moth in a cigarette.
We also bemoaned the (admittedly first world) problem of YouTube addiction, discussed hilariously-named Jewish foods, and lamented at the difficulty of making hash browns.
We also debated on why anyone would still use fax machines, pondered the meaning of "bunk" in relation to "debunk", and revealed our yearning to enter the field of mentorship.
We also discussed our upcoming gig: Redwings, Hivver, and No Comet at Stereo, Glasgow, on 23 May. More information here.

guest mix - nx1
An extra special guest mix this week as we showcase Spanish outfit NX1 .
NX1 is Surit and Samot´s project, as artist and a sub-label of the upcoming Nexe Records:
Nexe means “nexus” in our language. Nexe is our link with the music and the scene. Nexe gets involved with the techno and its origins, adding our experiences, our vision and evolution. Nexe defends the vinyl as a format par excellence, living with digital format and futures that may come. Nexe is a union between music, visual and graphic arts. Nexe Records have two sub-labels: “NX1”, with which we star the project, and “A-Nexe” yet to come. Nexe is the junction between those who sympathise our doctrine and help to expand it. Nexe is above all, an independent electronic music label.

it's enough to say
In the past Kaleidoscope has often spoken about shaping and webbing shows, particularly mixes, around a track, sentiment or thought. This episode is built around 'House' by Kindness, a track that draws you in the more you listen and shifts in genre and mood as it goes along. For regular listeners and for new ones alike, this episode is a perfect example of the foundations that Kaleidoscope was built upon. Between discussing the music that is played, both in new and old finds, from Santigold, Shlohmo, Marvin Gaye, The Rolling Stones, Purity Ring, Beaches Beaches, Wasted Nights, Foreign Fields and The Kinks, to explaining "I can't give you all that you need, but I'll give you all that I feel" half an hour mix deriving from Kindness. It may not have walls or windows, let alone a roof but this is an episode to take shelter in and feel at home with.

"this is the worst week of my life..."
Source Tags and Mixtapes // 12.05.12
This week is pretty heavy on punk rock in its various guises. OFF! open this one up with a 46 second stormer from their new self-titled LP (well, I say LP; the thing's 16 minutes long), and I spin the eponymous 7" by "Birmingham DIY punks" Human Hands. As it turns out, that description isn't so all-encompassing. Cloud Nothings also muddy the punky waters with their delightfully noisy take on indie rock.
Then, things get a little dreamier with this week's recommended record: the 2012 remaster of My Bloody Valentine's 1991 opus "Loveless" - the two tracks here are remastered from the original 1/2" tapes, which definitely gives them more of a warm, earthly feel. Sleeping Peonies put a darker twist on the shoegaze blueprint with a track from the new, free EP "s l o w l y d i s a p p e a r i n g".
Elsewhere, there's a highlight from the new PS I Love You album "Death Dreams", which has finally dropped in the US. If you were paying attention to the Source Tags & Mixtapes Facebook page on the 18th, you'll have seen the link to download the album for free. Didn't catch it? Too bad, you'll have to pick up the LP now.
One last thing - do check out local band Clockwork Social. You can download their first recording, which is also featured here. It's a promising opening statement. Check them out on Facebook too.

So the question is will the She Said team return refreshed and invigorated following their wee break last week or will the excesses of a fantastic gig night in Glasgow have taken its toll? We aspire to the former but fear the latter!
Start yer Saturday evening the way you mean to continue with musical moments and tales from Errors, Divorce and a myriad of other adventures yet to unfold.

bollychoon!! - disco and warped sounds from india
A special episode of chOOn!! based on electronic Indian sounds from the 80's.
The "what the hell is THIS?" factor is high, as is the camp novelty kitsch. Bollywood Disco classics aplenty as well as a few hidden gems.
We also take in some Kollywood sounds - Southern India's answer to their more famous northern brethren - with Illaiyaraaja and company showing how it's done. We finish with some killer classical ragas played on analogue synthesizers.
Take note, this thing is ready to take a cosmic disco dancefloor (or a moderately sized bedroom) to a higher plane... chOOn!! in!

We will be beaming our mission's findings to you across space and time, which include chemically altered future-funk from Trus'me and Dam Funk, Action Bronson's food-centric rhymes, and warped deep house from Pepe Bradock.

den haan live - hushpuppy & joe crogan
Berkeley Suite & Ballroom. Friday 18th May 11-3 £5
Glasgow's very own Gods From Outer Space touch down at the Berkeley Suite to distribute their manifesto of inter-galactic awesomeness.
Den Haan are a totally unique and by now somewhat legendary feature of Glasgow's electronic music scene. A couple of italo and hi-nrg obsessed dudes who between them have cooked up an utterly intoxicating catalogue of glistening and glorious slabs of pan-galactic wonder.
Its been some time since the duo played live in the city, so its a genuine treat to be able to bring their frankly dazzling live show - a glorious mass of synths, lights and bespoke projections - to the Berkeley Suite for a Music Please event.
Accompanying Den Haan will be familiar Music Please co-horts Hushpuppy and Joe Crogan. Hushpuppy, no stranger to italo sounds and cosmic beats (the Arty's RPZ was the original Glasgow home of Italo Disco and mega-gay hi-nrg excess) and will be spinning an 80's fixated super disco sound mix of boogie, italo, freestyle, street-beat, hi-nrg and cosmic magnificence.
Joe Crogan - visualiser, artist, performer and all round positive dude - will be throwing eye-googling high-contrast projections up the basement walls to keep your eyes entertained and your brains buzzing both before and after the Den Haan live set.

i'd rather go have calamari.
In tonight's show we broke it down with some of the boys and discussed sex, love, marriage and seafood. Featuring hits from Ne-Yo, Jagged Edge and Usher, we learned how to flatter and get close to a girl in a club, ask her to marry you and then screw her over by getting your chick on the side pregnant. Stupid Usher.
If you're having girl problems (I feel bad for you son), email me at bounceglasgow@gmail.com and we'll work through it together.
Till next time.

swifty fuckwits
On today's episode, we discussed childhood fears; ranging from hairdressers that cut off ears, to dentists who delight in inflicting pain. We also discussed Watership Down and its effect on our childhood minds, our disdain for health and safety regulations, and pondered the mystery of why rich people love golf.
We also speculated on the subjects of getting high on dentist's laughing gas, cinema advertisements and their prevalence for alcohol and automobiles, and whether or not the "jumper-over-the-shoulders" look was a look worth bringing back or not.
We also reviewed Holy Mountain's recent album launch at Mono, Aidan Moffat and HEALTH's collaborative art exhibition #UNRAVEL, as well as Howard Hawk's Only Angels Have Wings, and Charles Vidor's Gilda.
We also discussed our upcoming gig: Redwings, Hivver, and No Comet at Stereo, Glasgow, on 23 May. More information here.

The first show in a while is a real belter as we welcome London's GARETH WILD!
Gareth has been causing a bit of a stir on the Techno scene with his party and now label 'EarToGround'. 2011 saw him host for the first time in the UK two Stroboscopic Artefacts Showcases. Since 2011 he's also appeared twice at fabric and has warmed up for the likes of Chris Liebing and at the massive 15 years of Drumcode party.
EarToGround records sold out their first two releases on pre sales alone. The mix includes his first production 'Get Raw' which feature on ETG003 and is set to hit the shops soon!

There's definitely a calmer feel to this week's show (hey, we can't rock hard all the time), but of course, there's an exception: a track from the incredible new Wreck & Reference album "No Youth", which is available to download on a pay-what-you-want basis.
Elsewhere, there's a staple of second wave emo music: the self-titled album by American Football, which is this week's recommended record. There's also brand new tracks by Whirr, Enemies List artist Dweller on the Threshold, as well as Ty Segall & White Fence.

glasgow west house'n association
After the rather busy month of April, Beat Beneath kicks off May with another hour of fine cuts of dance music to bring in the bank holiday. Plenty new bits, and as per usual one or two highlights from some of the ongoing hordes of world-class DJs who've been stopping off in Glasgow lately.
Name inspired by presenter's recent house move, which is also why there was no show last time. Carrying the best part of a thousand 12" records up to a 3rd floor flat is FUN.

60s u.k. (holly calder) and canada (deena jacobs)
I am so happy to have had Holly Calder of Eyes Wide Open on last night's (newly) 2 hour show, sharing sounds of the sixties, Garage, Psych, Fuzz, Freakbeat, and Power Rock; with her putting forward tunes from the U.K. and me from Canada.
I have yet to listen back to all of it, so the only thing that needs noted thus far from yesterday's show is that I misspeak a few times in my initial block of chat where I use Ontario, the province which Ottawa is in, but don't specify that the less kind words were about Ottawa, until a minute in. I like Ontario, it is my birthplace and where I happily grew up, I just have never gotten into Ottawa aside from the music recorded, but am sure loads of other people would tell you otherwise.
Enjoy the tunes, there are many this time. All the UK stuff is mixed by Holly and all of the Canada sets are done by me, the last bit was back to back.
Cheers, until next time, where David Barbarossa joins me to have fun with 45s. One of which he played me the other day, I described instantly as "if the Dixie Cups had taken ecstasy and were hanging out with all their friends making raging music." That tune by Marsha Hunt, (Oh No Not The) Beast Day, can be heard in this show, with credit where credit is due, in the block before the goodbyes.

The Glasgow band are big favourites of The Pop Cop. They were named one of the blog’s hottest 10 tips of 2010 and two of their tunes have also been listed in the best songs of the year - Everything Continued in 2010 and Darkness Coming in 2011.

likwit fusion x zero10: ras g & wavy graves
On Tuesday the 1st of May Likwit Fusion & Zero10 will be collaborating to bring you one of the most innovative, and forward thinking beatmakers in the world. Ras G.
Ahead of his live show at Nice N Sleazy's both Wavy Graves and Ras will be joining us in the Subcity studio to give us an insight of what to expect during the show as they will be providing us with a live session / guest mix and top of that we'll be having a brief interview with Ras as well.
//
Ras G ( Brainfeeder / Leaving Records / Poo-Bah / Ramp )
Ras G is a stalwart of the underground LA hip-hop movement, a regular at the Low End Theory nights as well as having one of the first releases on Flying Lotus’s Brainfeeder imprint with 2009’s ‘Brotha from Anotha Planet LP’ and more recently 2011’s ‘Down 2 Earth’ on Ramp. On top of that, he is also one of the founders of Poo-Bah records, a specialist record store and label which resides deep within the hearts of crate-digging LA music lovers.
Ras’s music takes you on an exploration into the unknown realms of consciousness. His search for new patterns of sounds balances an unorthodox combination of blunt heavy beats, sound collages, experimental electronics, and radiant boom-bap instrumentations. Striking up an homage between music’s rich and diverse heritage, conjuring up correlations between the likes of Sun Ra and Lee “Scratch” Perry, right through to Madlib and J Dilla.
We truly are thrilled to be bringing this unique and innovative musician to our city for an ultra rare performance.

brian turner (wfmu): free form concepts
Every station has its own model based on various philosophies or commercial interests. Independents have their own set of idiosyncratic differences and every station’s model has had to alter at some point. When the AMs and FMs get too crowded, when the limited reach of transmitters becomes too expensive or inefficient, or because of some administerial conflict. These independents are defined by the ethos they create for themselves, ethea that extend beyond the reductive tags of non-commercial and/or free-form.
WFMU has a commitment to unstructured-format broadcasting, its programming is created by each individual ‘air personality’, and isn’t restricted by any type of station-wide playlist or rotation schedule. Experimentation, spontaneity and humour are among the station's most frequently noted distinguishing traits.
As the station's Music Director, Brian Turner has been instrumental in the station's shift from its beginnings as a college radio station to its current multifarious, multiformat incarnation. The Free Music Archive serves as the most contemporary extension of the station's model and ethos, an impressive resource of free music and live recordings that follows the station’s ethos of never pandering to commercial interest or sponsorship.
The following talk was recorded on 28th April 2012 at The Old Hairdressers and is entitled 'Free Form Concepts and Independent Radio‘. Many thanks to Rob Churm, GI Festival and all the staff at The Old Hairdressers.

record store day 2012: a source tags recap
Source Tags and Mixtapes // 28.04.12
Record Store Day was last week. I think you know the drill by now: I've brought along my haul for airplay, but instead of playing MP3 versions, I've stuck to vinyl for the most-part, which is something I don't really do that often on the show. Have a listen to the stuff I got, and let me know if you got anything nice over on the Facebook page.
Highlights include: earlier stuff from Refused, new Death Grips, and "Feistodon", a split single between Feist and Mastodon, who cover each other's songs. Yeah, this thing exists. Recommended is the 2002 effort by the now defunct mclusky.
Posted at 19:37, 28th April 2012
yeah, mind control everywhere
Jai Paul's 'Jasmine' sets the tone for this episode of Kaleidoscope. Oozing in sexy synths with a funky bass line, the dangerously infectious track is just one of several new releases to feature on the show. The rattling and raw sounds of 'Mind Control' by Friends and tUnE-yArDs 'My Country' balance the fiesty and soulful sound of old favourites from the Flirtations and the Supremes. The return of Kaleidoscope this week also sees a new home at the Art School Union every 2nd & 4th Saturday, inspiration comes from the glitchy disco sounds of Savcloud & Kanoba as well as the extremely influential Washed Out. And finally after two months of talking about the woes of surgery and taking requests for songs about legs (erm, yeah...) the B side to 1981's 'Method of Dance' record takes place instead of our half an hour mix, with help from Japan, Magazine, Human League and Simple Minds to start pulling shapes again.
"Note, that if nothing else, the music of side two can certainly be used as a sex aid: admit that nothing is more real than nothing. Do you feel you're being led astray?" - Paul Morley on Methods of Dance side B.

record store day soul purchases
Last week show producer spent two hours in queue outside Mono to buy three 45s for £20 which is big sum of money for him to part on records.
He acknowledges that there were special release from last year's RSD still in the racks as he got closer to the counter.
Anyway he got his free cupcake and presenter Fraser Dunn phoned Monorail to confirm they still had a Clarence Carter EP and a Charles Bradley in the racks.
Expect to hear them today along with a couple of nods to Motown, two deep soul stunners and and a whole pile of records from the sixties up until last week.
You can tune into the show and participate via the Soulful Allsorts on Subcity Facebook page.
Don't forget South Side Soul at 111 Titwood Road tonight.

hyperbolic heat
So we're back tonight for the penultimate episode of Synth before broadcast terminates for the summer and what a show we have lined up! Taking to the decks this week we have 'hot-to-touch' up and comer, Illyus who has been bubbling under the radar for some time now. Recently claiming our Local Hero Award for forthcoming single 'The Rescue' as well as releasing on Southern Fried and collaborating with Dominic Martin, Illyus is very much a name to keep an eye on...
Battling it out for our Local Hero Award will be three sonically charged newcomers in the form of Grobbie, Arm Wtchs Fngrs and Cur$es - all three grabbing our attention over the last year or so and straddling that grey area of hyper-bass and Garage.
Finally, new music and mixes will come from the likes of Hudson Mohawke, Mirrors, HaHaHa Vs Raksha and This Is I. Prepare...

Unfortunately, due to my recent inability to stand up without feeling queasy, Bounce did not go ahead as planned on Monday. (And yes, technically I could have sat down and drank peppermint tea and sucked it up, but I was forcibly sent home in a cab from work - it was that bad.)
Sorry guys. However, my plans for the silkest, softest jams from some of the biggest boys in hiphop'n'r'n'b will be postponed till the next show. So save your tears till then.

'happy st georges day.. shit, we're in scotland'
Hiyerrr, we're back with another show which includes The Emotions accidentally being played at double speed and us wishing our Scottish listeners a happy St Georges Day. Great. We discuss how we've shamelessly ripped off the 80s (what do you mean it was screamingly obvious?), the new Lip Service/RuPaul's Drag Race, and how an Uh Huh Her gig essentially descended into a crowd of Glaswegians screaming 'who the fuck is Alice'. Dead queer. Hope you enjoy! Love, The Blitz Kidzzzz xxx

Whose Responsible This? // 22.04.12
We've had too much fat and sugar so there might not be straight thinking with these choices of news stories and corresponding soundtrack for tomorrow's episode. We trust none of you will notice, especially after the response from last week's episode which forced us to establish listening guidelines which include an acid tab to be dropped half an hour before we begin. For maximum effect when listening, fall asleep on your arm and give yourself a stranger.
That's tomorrow's show, yeah? 1pm.

An odd-box selection of fairly obscure songs today. Selecting tracks from the latest Belle & Sebatian currated 'Late Night Tales' mix, with the likes of Joe Pass, Wonder Who? and The Lovin' Spoonful, as well as a rather funky collection of tracks from the latest Monorail CD purchase "Jazzman Gerald presents: Let's Boogaloo - Volume 5".
Add to this a couple of tracks gifted from the fantastic TV series "The Wire", and we have ourselves a smooth, chilled out collection of soulful hits, for the cool cats out there...

are your ears painted on?
This programme is meant to serve as a roadmap through the best of the globetrotting music blogosphere. Feel free to kick back and let us do the driving as we create an alternative pop history from this lost world of undiscovered artefacts. Or, if you're feeling fresh, grab the wheel: extra hunting and gathering once you delve into our suggested pit stops will lead to hours of thrilling musical discovery (along with a seriously stunted social life).
Simply outrageous sounds await your careful attention with an oddball selection wandering through past and present independent music, worldbeat gems, exotic oddities, bizarre disco, creepy soundtracks, fuzzy library, deviant crossovers, primitive electronics, amateur incidents, nowadays outsiders...and forgotten fourth world composers. From the sublime to the ridiculous but all fit to be branded "chOOn"!
On this week's programme we sample South African Tsonga Disco, French Playdough-phonics, Greek Electronic Witchcraft, Finger snapping Library Jazz, Japanese Femme Crime Funk, Wonky Afrobeat and much more... chOOn!! in!

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 14.04.12
This week's show is a sonic collage of energetic indie rock, texture-ridden post-metal, doom/stoner rock and psychedelic kraut. But who cares about labels, right? Just enjoy. With recent material from The Men (check out "Open Your Heart"; a musically schizophrenic yet neatly connected document of rock music worship), Pelican, and another track from the upcoming PS I Love You album "Death Dreams". Also, I've said this before, but I really recommend The Dogs' excellent release "Camping", which you can download over here.
The good thing about finishing early is that I can shove some grindcore onto the end of an episode. Grindcore makes everything better.

The Hand Loom Lament radio hour returns to your earlugs after a nigh on month long separation period during which I ended up in Cologne improbably drinking cocktails and hanging out with 18 year old squares from Frankfurt, watched an outstanding game of association football in Dortmund, got snowed in in Newcastle (via Nottingham, Leeds and Milton Keynes) and then bounced back up to Glasgow to feed the guinea pig.
During that period I picked up some total fucking pearlers of weirdo wax. Getting a run out for your delectation this time round: Bernard Szajners utterly gonzo melding of Gottsching and Moroder, Carter Tutti Void, A To Austr's Lord Of The Rings on cheap acid long lost psyche adventures, Bruce Russell approved NZ fuzz garage and the new banger from Flower/Corsano/Hejnowski.
The second half of the show will feature a new Ship Canal project I've been working on. Blood Clot Brain involves me covering/heavily medicating/editing/drowning/debasing THE essential Television Personalities record, The Painted Word, in its entirety. Probably best not to listen if you actually like them.
Its one of my favourite records of all time. But don't take my word for it, Julian Cope knows:

show 25: adrian's echo - an on-u sound special
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 12.04.12
Adrian Sherwood.
Those two words alone could be the write-up for this week's show.
But The Awkward Sons are wordsmiths - linguistic sculptors carving knowledge shapes into the rocks of incomprehension.
Plus I've got loads of time to kill in work. Nice.
This week is all about On-U Sound, possibly the greatest record label the UK has ever seen. Well, in their '80s heyday, anyway. Back then, they were absolutely fucking untouchable. One listen to Mark Stewart's skull-shaving dub/industrial/funk/noise/post-punk (I know...!) masterpiece, Learning To Cope With Cowardice, is proof enough for any unbeliever.
Sherwood was the mastermind producer behind the label, turning ubiquitously incredible song-writing into head-scratching sonic perfection with the flick of an echo switch. For my money, he's up there with Tubby and Perry as one of the most important desk-wreckers in the history of modern music.
So, tonight is 60 minutes of Sherwood gold. Pretty much everything was either released by On-U Sound or features that incredible ahead-of-the-pack production. But in keeping with the label's continued irreverence for all things 'correct', there's the odd rinser that has no connection to the theme whatsoever, other than a loose historical connection with the label. I'm sure you'll cope admirably, though.
For lung-rupturing experimental dub with a huge post-punk/industrial low-end kick, you won't find anything else that even comes close.
Start writing those apology letters now - your neighbours are going to be fucking raging.

Friend of Earthly Matters, Sega Bodega, kindly put together a 40 minute guest mix for Gareth to play on the show after DJing at the latest Likwit Fusion event.
……… ……… ………
Expect glitched-up beats, syncopated rushes of sound, and hyperactive rhythms.
……… ……… ………
A regular at the Naïve club nights in Glasgow, Sega Bodegas productions intertwine elements of wonky, hip-hop, glitch, house, R’n’B, and even classical in amongst an anomalous array of offbeat sought after samples. Stepping aside from these constraints, Segas music is more than just about mere genre classification.
……… ……… ………
His music conjures up heartfelt emotions with a cinematic tenderness as if what you are listening to is destined to accompany a film on the big screen from an epic sci-fi film to a compelling drama. From the ominously deep and pensive “Bow Down” from his Hungry EP to the wistful sorrow of “The Ballet” to the energetic frenzy of “Sunburst.” Segas approach to creating music successfully combines many elements of differing styles, allowing him to create one complete sound that truly is his own.
……… ……… ………
With acclaim from the likes of Mad Decent, Radio 1 and Inverted Audio as well as an official remix for Jakwob under his belt, 2012 is going to be an exciting and well deserved year for this young, hard working producer. :)

This week's Beat Beneath comes in an April that's turning out to be particularly generous in the way of new releases and club bookings, with an inordanate amount of the show's favourite DJs gracing our fine city. Whether your stateside house allegiances on the 14th will lie with Levon Vincent's New York stomp or Omar S's machine-led, unpolished Detroit goodness; whether you're listening to the show while recovering from the pounding beats of Ben Klock and classics from Laurent Garnier and his band, or from Dixon's dark house masterclass; maybe you're still reeling from Mike Dehnert ripping La Cheetah a new one last weekend if you didn't keep it local at the Subby; or maybe you're further afield doing your own thing... no matter what, I'll be presenting my pick of the month's touring talent as well as some of the new releases I'm into just now.

show 24: tdk c60 - a tascam tribute
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 05.04.12
After last week’s 7” special, this week is all about the tapes.
From the post-punk cassette culture explosion in the late 70s, through to a pretty huge format revival in the early/mid 2000s (largely spurred on by the US noise underground), tapes have always been a favourite format for cash-strapped counter-cultures.
They’re cheap to buy, cheap to copy, and with a huge DIY distribution network at your fingertips, you can get seriously fucking creative with everything from the actual sonics through to the artwork (my favourite being a used condom wrapped in tissue – thanks, A Band!)
So, no worries about whether Walmart are going to stock it and how you’re going to front the green for that Ross Robinson production.
Much like 7” singles, this is where you find the weirdest, most off-the-map shit going.
Tonight, we’re casting the net wide, so expect heart-breaking psychedelic folk from Thailand, 10-year-old dead baby blues from Human Skab, a quick dip into the Mississippi Records tape archive, Robbie Basho’s last album before his chiropractor broke his neck, absurdist a capella sex noise from Dylan Nyoukis, Arthur Brown getting it on with Suicide’s producer, and a whole bunch of post-industrial pant-stretchers.
REWIND!

first show!
Heya,
Started my show Lady Squalor today, and for starters I want to thank Rachael of Kaleidoscope, for coming in and helping me ease my nerves; it was very appreciated. Overall, I really loved it; sharing sounds and information are two of my favourite things, coming together as one in this format. Today's show didn't really have an overt theme, but I would say is a pretty good representation of how my mind works and links through music when I am not mixing it up on the dance-floor or spinning the soundtracks to peoples' pints. I decided to call the show Lady Squalor for that very reason, though it may seem messy, and this show being my first certainly was a wee bit, it is actually very clear and logical to me to jump through genres and sounds when listening to the words or defining personal moments that are equally varied. Tangents like that, along with my some of my favourite records are what people can expect every two weeks.
Also, purely to satisfy a personal nagging, I feel I should note that I forgot to point out that the Baris Manco song was super logical to go into the Mogöllar song because he actually joined up with Mogöllar for 4 months in '71, while the group was known as Manchomnogol. Missing from my sharing of information was also the name of the album that the Group Inerane track can be found on which is Guitars From Agadez (Music of Niger). Next additional note, The Shangri Las were even more of a logical choice to represent Girl Groups after mentioning The Sophisticated Boom Boom, as we took our moniker from one of their tracks. And lastly of the information I feel I left out, the sample was that Claudia and I made the mix for Buff Club's weekly Wednesday night, Different Strokes and can be found in full on the Different Strokes mixcloud or a free download is available through their tumblr. Jus' sayin'...
There I go again, well, I won't be able to ramble on during future editions, when some mates will come through to join me in my conversation. Next time around, one of my favourite people to have music conversations across the kitchen table and behind the decks with is Claudia Nova (of Aggi Doom) whom I have been seen djing around town as part of The Sophisticated Boom Boom over the past 10 months. More on that show soon I'm sure...
Thank you sincerely to everyone that tuned in. More fun to come.
Until next time, Deena

n_ilk festival special
n_ilk stands for ‘no ilk’, no formula or genre, - ‘anything goes’.
Last year Build + Destroy went up to Dundee to see what was happening at the N_ilk festival. We caught some great acts, such as Lukid, Point To C and Samoyed and it was all held in the Botanic Gardens. We wanted to find out more about this mini festival, so we have invited Paul Gault, who organised the festival, down to talk about the festival and also provide a mini mix. Expect to hear music from people that have played in the festival as well as Paul warming up before he DJs at The Ivy with Point To C on Friday the 6th of April.

smash hits/smashed tits
Today we lost our Subcity virginity. Neither of us are hungover and we aren't as sore as the first time, so surely it hasn't gone too badly. We had a 90s theme, though it may not have been particularly present consistently, know it was ALWAYS in mind. Melissa Joan Hart's career going down the shitter and the intense accomplishment of receiving a Blue Peter badge have all been discussed. We hope you enjoy it! Love, The Blitz Kidzzzz xxxx

friends in america in session
Friends In America: the sound of fireworks being set off in your heart. They're our guests in this month's show and in five years' time we'll still look back on this moment and be filled with pride.
On The Pop Cop blog's Top 10 tips of 2012 post I described the band thus:
"Crisp melodies, an indie-rock entity with genuine variation and originality, four engrossing musicians with distinct personalities including a dapper frontman with astute lyrics you can/want to make out. Their debut EP is due for release in early 2012, but check them out live – they're heartbreakingly magnificent. I've got relatives I don't love half as much as this band."
Topics up for discussion in this show include some behind-the-scenes chat about the newly-formed Scottish Album of the Year Award and hard proof that Orange (the mobile phone company) lie to potential customers.
Check out Friends In America via Facebook, Twitter and this sex-oozing YouTube video.
As a bonus treat, here's a video of them playing Gaffe on this show.

philanthrobeats
Philanthrobeats is a newly formed charity organisation which will be running club-nights and arts events in the city of Glasgow. Working in collaboration with the city’s most experienced and respected promoters, we aim to use music and art as tools to bring people together under a common goal - to raise money for others who need it most.
== LAUNCH NIGHT ==
= PB 1 =
Philanthrobeats presents…
Mount Heart Attack Mia Dora (DJ Set) Denney & FortyWinks (Live) Tarantism
£4 * o.t.d.
Thursday 5th April Chambre69, Glasgow
*All proceeds go to Amnesty International
Launching on Thursday 5th April, our club events will take place at Chambre69 on the first Thursday of each month. Our mission is to spread the wealth as evenly as possible through enabling the promoters we collaborate with to raise the money for the charity of their choice. This first night, however, the music will be curated by ourselves (a team of experienced promoters, journalists, PRs and a legion of enthusiastic helpers), and will act as a celebration of the wide variety of artistic talent that Glasgow has to offer, both musical and visual. We have therefore chosen a patchwork of acts to represent the city’s different sounds, which will be supplemented by a collection of artwork all focused on a common theme.
All proceeds from this event will go to Amnesty International, a charity dedicated to eradicating social injustice and the breach of human rights on a world-wide scale.

Animal Hospital Monthly Check-up // 11.04.12
Sometimes life inundates us with needless and petty distractions (work, education, responsibilities, rent) which steer our attention away from the things that are really important (quality internet radio programming).
After two cold and transmission-less months for the Checkup team we are back with a bang, broadcasting from our new favourite hangout, Gabriel's living room (If you prefer the intimate feel of headphones, that whirring in the background is the washing machine).
All the tracks which have tickled our fancy over the past few weeks, coaxed together in a rowdy huddle punctuated by our oft-questionable opinions and interjections, an overview of the coming month's club highlights and a cracking midway moment with Jase and Tommy.
Enjoy!

meszian + dave miller (abstract division)
After a small 2 week hiatus while I 1. Studied & 2. Enjoyed the sun...Animal Farm is back on Subcity radio with two exclusive mixes!
First up we have Michael 'Meszian' Peacock who will be live in the studio. A relative newcomer on the scene, Michael is working his way up the ranks with various dj slots at after hours club The Unit and also Flat 0/1.
For the second hour we have an exclusive guest mix from one half of Abstract Division, DAVE MILLER.
Abstract Division is a collaboration between Paul Boex and Dave Miller. This challenging project sees them focus on the darker side of no-nonsense techno. Influenced by an exquisite collection of their own favorite sounds from Detroit, Berlin and Birmingham their aim is to educate you using intelligent and abstract tunes designed for the floor. Alongside straightforward uplifters, Abstract Division also reveals a more emotional side in this project by showcasing a love for ambient drones and a fondness of industrial soundscapes. That there is much truth to this claim is likely to prove an understatement once you get acquainted with their sound. No boundaries, just honest creations filled with those different kind of elements that make for great techno.
Their already impressive releases feature tracks, not only from themselves but amazing remixes from the likes of Milton Bradley, Delta Funktionen, Dasha Rush, Ben Sims, Norman Nodge & Mike Parker. Plus upcoming projects feature man of the moment Shifted & Berghain resident Marcel Dettmann...the future is definitely VERY bright for this Dutch duo!

this flight tonight
After a 3 week hiatus, Kaleidoscope looks back and indulges in March's greatest finds in new musical releases. From highly anticipated returns in old favourites such as Hot Chip, Chromatics and Kindness to brand new discoveries in Beta Frontiers, Heat Stroke and A Gap Between, all tracks that are played continue to meet the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes 80s synth dreams. In the absence from Subcity's Studio, Glasgow experiences a glimpse at what Summer could be, having a resulting influence on today's half an hour mix 'Squinting into the Sun' for moments of escapism that drift by all too quickly.
Posted at 17:30, 2nd April 2012
It's been a month since our last show and we've managed to pull together some class tunes. Bruising Scandinavian rock n roll, gut busting punk rock, melodic loveliness and all different kinds of craziness from the UK are some of the things which will augment our usual eclectic selection of punk, hip hop, alt rock and any other weird shit we can find and fit on our show.
You won't have heard anything quite like it. And neither have we.

lacunar joints
Quick round up of what Fergus has been listening to a lot over the last couple of weeks.
Expect afrocentric saxaphone jazz, french synth-violinists, 1960s detroit soul and some dark synthetic house alongside plenty of rare italo tracks that you would probably have to sell your own arm to be able to afford on record.

choon!! me and put me down
The variety and quality of free music available on the Internet is simply staggering. The motherlode of music blogs out there donating MP3 freebies of rare, out-of-print and previously unissued recordings make this historical moment the goldenest age ever for music obsessives (damn you megaupload). As anyone who's done a bit of online audio prospecting knows, the problem isn't just finding the stuff, it's finding the time to excavate the many armloads of albums you absolutely, desperately, ravenously must have.
Since I'm already spending practically every waking moment trawling for chOOns, I thought I'd offer a dynamite list of the best of what I'm unearthing. In essence, chOOn!! does your web-searching for you, and digs up some crazy-go-nuts obscure songs along the way.
In this first episode we sample Bollywood Disco, Turkish Wedding music, Somalian Funk, Russian sci-fi soundtracks, Arabic library records and much more. chOOn in!

44 - snafu takeover iii ft. hunt them crew
This Friday (06/04) we head back to Snafu in Aberdeen for our third session there since August.
We're taking Hunt Them Crew with us for the party, so to get you in the mood we've invited HTC & Neo Tokyo Bass stalwart DJ Kokoro down to the studio for a proper digital and rubadub session.
We're lucky enough to count Kokoro as a close pal, and from that we can say he's without doubt one of the best young DJ's that Glasgow has to offer at the moment. Don't miss!

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 07.04.12
This is a special episode of Source Tags & Mixtapes, featuring an exclusive interview with shoegaze duo Airs. There's talk about the band's long-distance recording process, touring, musical influences, and the upcoming album "Adore". All of the music here is taken from their discography; albums, EPs, live recordings and a couple of newly mastered songs completely exclusive to Source Tags. If you like what you hear, go follow Airs on Facebook.
Special thanks again to Aaron and Chris for the interview, the music, and generally for being such nice dudes.

cur$es
This week Kaleidoscope breaks with tradition by introducing a guest - Cur$es - to the subcity studio. Cur$es - aka Niall Morris - hails from Glasgow, so a chat about the city seems apt, as well as an insight into his musical background. His sounds are underscored by a fusion of influences, made more impressive by their origin - Cur$es was developed in Morris' room. He discusses the finer details during the show as well as taking over this weeks half-hour mix. Kaleidoscope is also treated to an exclusive first play of Cur$es 'Girlfriend'.
New music from other sources allows for a determinedly fresh feel as Beach House, Fort Romeau, and Nite Jewel's tracks are given a spin. Kaleidoscope does not disappoint by playing some older gems at the same time: the forever catchy Uptown Top Ranking by Althea & Donna is preceded by the influential Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye.
This experiment could signal further shows of this ilk to follow; your thoughts and feedback are more than welcome! Like, message and get exclusives over on the facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kaleidoscope-on-Subcity-Radio/128376777943

lighter, but with the same sense of mystery
Source Tags and Mixtapes // 31.03.12
The first few tracks here are taken from dutch hardcore group The Kensington Arms' debut album "Geospizinae", which comes almost as recommended as this week's featured record. Another great album which just dropped is the new effort from The Mars Volta, which more than makes up for their previous misfire. Elsewhere, there's a fresh, clean, feel-good track from the usually filthy Danny Brown, and a couple of texture-heavy curiosities from Julia Holter and Circle of Ouroborus which fit in nicely with the slow-vibes of the Talk Talk record.
Check back next week for an Airs special, complete with an exclusive Source Tags interview with the band and a few never before heard tracks, one of which comes from their upcoming album "Adore". I'm looking forward to it; you should be, too. Keep in the loop by 'liking' the Source Tags & Mixtapes Facebook Page.

Join us as we defend the indefensible, solve the world's ills, discuss the problems of today's youth. The lads also sing a beautiful song about panda pregnancy - there's even some other (non karaoke) songs to string the cheek along.
It's fully charged and jam packed, another edition not to be missed.

ob at the whiteinch centre & more..
As we posted last week, unfortunately our plans to broadcast live from the Whiteinch Centre did not go as planned. As they say though, the show must go on, so we recorded the show from last week from the centre, and it is now uploaded in place of last week, so you can listen to the full show there now.
On this week's show, expect, as usual, the best in funk, soul & jazz from Alan, with tracks so far from The Jones Girls & The Isley Brothers. We also have an interview from Morvyn, of the Birds of Paradise Theatre Group, from the Whiteinch Centre last week.
Posted at 17:15, 30th March 2012
Tonight we have a guest mix from Essen based dj/producer, Kai Von Glasow. He has recently exploded onto the house and techno scene with outstanding releases on Mild Pitch and Terpsiton. The set we have for you tonight shows Kai Von Glasow's interest in both house and dub influenced techno.
As always there will be support from us for the 1st hour...

This weekend's show could well get messy. DIVORCE are 4 people and they're gonna be joining us. ALL OF THEM! That makes 6 shady characters in a very confined space. The She Said team is not scared though, bring it on, come and have a go if you think you're hard enough.

show 23: seven awkward inches
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 29.03.12
So I've spent ages trying to think of something funny to write about 7"s. And the cock jokes just won't cut it.
Anyway, no dice. Moving on...
Tonight, it's nothing but 7" singles. Everyone fucking loves them, right?
OK, getting up every 3-4 minutes to change a record is nobody's idea of a go-to good-time, but you're pretty much guaranteed a rinse.
You either cut straight to the meat, getting the best shit from the full-length, or you get landed with the weird shit that wouldn't fit on the album in the first place. Either way, sorted.
Then there's the one-offs, the bands that just disappeared after about 6 minutes of speaker time. They're pretty much always great, eh?
All that, plus keeping it concise usually ups the fat-trimming ante - no room for any floppy thighs here. And they're cheap. All in all, pretty much the perfect format.
So expect tour-only gold from former Harry Pussy amp-burner Bill Orcutt, a wild oud and synth duo from Keith Fullerton Whitman, a Flemish cover of Fever from DDV (of Club Moral fame), raw as balls droning African folk with harmonies pulled straight from the fucking heavens and a whole load of obscure psych, garage, no wave and post punk.
Tool up, sweet thing. Shit is kicking off.

sunshine grooves and maxxi flavours...
Synth returns to Subcity Radio tonight and we couldn't be more excited about it. Whether it's the unseasonal warmth or the fact we've been sipping on MD all day (just because we have to work inside doesn't mean we can't get involved), it's always an incredible feeling bringing together some of our favourite tunes and tonight is no different.
Kicking things off, we have sunshine flavours from Mount Heart Attack's MermaidS as well as Mervin Granger and Rebecca Vasmant. You can also expect exclusive cuts from Ovr Kill and Illyus before our guest mix from man of the moment, Mirrors. Bursting out the gate and into 2012 like a raging bull, Chris McFarlane has been making some serious noise and people have taken notice - expect 20 minutes of big basslines and mad-real energy from our first Local Hero of the New Year.
Speaking of Local Heroes, we'll also be handing out the prestigious title to either Julius Funkhouser for his remix on Love Bites, the first release from High Sheen by Mia Dora, HaHaHa & Raksha or a big, fun mix from Thrust Club on Silicone Soul. Heavy bounce.

hype williams (live)
The duo’s upcoming Black Is Beautiful LP for Hyperdub drops their Hype Williams moniker in favour of the name(s) Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland. These pseudonyms behind the pseudonym recall an early interview with Dean (then known as Roy): “you immerse yourself in it, you either do it or you don’t”.
Since the self-released CDRs dating back to 2008’s Believe In The Levites, the duo have immersed themselves in Hype Williams fictions and productions. With palpable unpredictability their releases have kept surfacing on a host of different labels.
On ’Find Out What Happens...’ the harsh drones and clattering found instrumentation of their earlier work slid into the textures that frame the lucid synthlines and percussive flourishes of the record’s slow strange swagger. Then came ’Han Dynasty’, a schizoid 3 parter, it's creepy echoing jams mining some very different reference points - the vocal drawl and guitars of pt.2 and pt.3 coming off like a deconstructed Durutti Column.
Without a hint of grim ritualisation they keep coming, their side projects proving to be just as curious and satisfying. Like that addictive sleazy house Ramirez 12” on Rush Hour, or the most recent switch up: Dean Blunt’s The Narcissist II, a twisted journey akin to a Andre 3000 side project but on a far more melancholy psychedelic tip.
Their live show has continued to evolve too. Whereas, they once donned bed sheets and played a kitchen, now the duo’s nodding silhouettes are swathed in dizzying strobes backed by the delivery of 8 subs and the flex of a bodybuilder.
This recording is a live bootleg recorded in late 2010, containing tracks from their releases on Hippos In Tanks and Hyperdub as well as unheard, unreleased material.

coton tige
Coton Tige is a Parisian label born from the minimal techno emancipation. It was set up in 2006 by Thomas Clapin (a.k.a. Ekomine) and a number of his friends, and over the past 6 years the label has continued to grow as a family. A family of very talented people indeed.
Part of the INTERFACE PLUS collective, Coton Tige represents the music label sub-department. They work alongside their booking agency, Velvet, and their visuals team, NYX. NYX add invaluably to their events with incredibly impressive visual installations that have been seen to stretch across huge 3-dimensional screens the size of a double-decker bus. This professional and artistic approach to clubbing has earned the collective a very positive Europe-wide reputation, supplemented by the Coton Tige artists' quality productions.
Tonight, on Tarantism, we have the privilege of speaking with Thomas, the label co-founder, and ask him a few questions about Coton Tige (and it's odd but humorous choice of name), NYX visuals and, of course, what the electronic music scene is like in their hometown of Paris.
We are also pleased to bring you a recording of the label's first promotional podcast: a live set from Berlin-based Coton Tige artist, and Stattbad resident, Damien K. Sahri. Damien is a compulsive traveller, and you can feel it in his music. His influences spread from rock'n’roll and jazz to techno music, but also from latino percussion to all kinds of exotic shakers and cymbals. Through recording all kinds of acoustic and analogue instruments, Damien produces a unique sound that gives him a very independent identity. This live act is a small preview of his hard studio work, and is the result of extensive research towards a multitude of different musical horizons.
Damien's live set will be sandwiched by a suitably minimal mix from the Tarantism DJs... focusing, of course, on the label's own releases.
Enjoy!

...zine.
We can all take a collective sigh of relief; Bounce has arrived. Tune in to the first show to hear some of my fondest hiphop and r'n'b memories and my wonderful ability to make up words when a mic is put in front of me. This week: "synaptical" and "emancipating" (which obviously is a word but for some reason I doubted myself).
Also tune in to hear my frank discussion about Donnell Jones' frank erection - a feeling which Next share - and my efforts to tell Christina Milian and Ashanti apart (it's hard okay?). It's fine, I've worked out a system:
Christina Milian - Likes to writhe around in ink: http://youtu.be/5z5Mvyp1QHw
Ashanti - Likes to writhe around in a glass condom:http://youtu.be/4p4ZBBIaEPQ
Sorted.

the flood of detritus
Source Tags and Mixtapes // 24.03.12
This week, I'm joined in the studio by semi-regular guest Tim McQuillian (The DDN) to play some songs before the Touché Amoré show in Glasgow. There's some chat of needless labelling, Odd Future post-buzz and more. There's a brand new Titus Andronicus track, as well as a highlight from the new Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All tape. Tim gets a shot as "Songs for Singles", choosing a relatively recent 7" from dark synth-pop duo Trust, and I finally get around to giving Oceansize's third album "Frames" the recognition it deserves as a recommended record.

The music this week comes close to spanning across a century, with an especially diverse selection. A '1920's Inspired mix' channels the mood set for cultural explosion this summer, with the impending cinematic release of the Great Gatsby in mind.
Roaring 20s aside, kaleidoscope boasts new music from Hazy Mountains, THEESatisfaction and StewRat. The first section of the show is tinged with powerful pick me ups such as 'Origins' by Tennis, before balancing the playlist with some slower hypnotic numbers.

Whose Responsible This? // 25.03.12
It took us a little while to sort ourselves out again, mostly due to the impact of two birthdays, ten hangovers and a trip to London between the last show and now, but we made sure to come back in for tomorrow's episode. We'll lay the rubbish information down for all to see from 1pm onwards.

two hours of soul from sunny subcity
Fraser Dunn once again hails the start of summer. Well the clocks go forward tonight. Anyway Two hours of great soul music in this week's show. Two nods to Motown, two deep sooul dips and music from the last fifty years of soul.
Don't forget Southside Soul returns to the Pollok ES social club next Saturday, yes Saturday 31st March.

darkness turns to light....
Yup, it's yet another time of year when the team of headline writers employed by She Said barely have to blink an eye to titillate and beguile! The spring equinox has most certainly past and as darkness fades, so we're bathed in sunshine and daylight and optimism for all things summer.
So basking in metaphorical rays of goodness, the nations favourite punks embrace you warmly with all things bright and beautiful, all noisiness great and small. Bring yer earplugs, yer hearts and some cold beers and feel the love.

show 22: hair-lip frenching
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 22.03.12
So, it's been another week of hefty wax hauls round at chez Awkward. A weekend shopping in Berlin probably had something to do with it.
(That plus a wreckless disregard for personal finances and a terrifying inability to plan for the future, eh? Let's not kid ourselves!)
But who needs a nest egg when you're faced with a stash like this?
* Early 70s pre-punk proto-doom euphorics, heavy on the fuzz and light on the smarts. Expect two rare cuts from the amazing new Bonehead Crushers compilation on Belter Records (brilliantly named), prime meat for anyone who lost it over the Jerusalem and Flying Wedge tunes from last week.
* Post-techno/fucked hip-hop action from NHK's side of the new NHK/SND split. The "bashful noise" tag suits NHK brilliantly - imagine a funk-focussed Autechre playing with Pan Sonic distortion and trying not to wake the neighbours. Monster!
* Raw, reverb-heavy gospel from Waymon Jones' Gusman Records. Gusman put out some of the most haunting, aching religious music ever to come out of America, with vocal harmonies to fucking die for, and this one's going to have you crying for Christ in no time. On your knees!
* Abrasive, primal minimal wave from 80s Belgium, made by two teenagers with no concern for fidelity or convention. With mind-blowing song-writing and a tense, drug-fucked atmosphere to boot, this is some of the best post-industrial dread I've heard since Veronica's last show.
Luckily, we've done all the work (and ignored all the bills), so all you have to do is push the button, as the Brothers Chemical so eloquently put it.
Game face!

winter into spring
Radio in Opposition // 22.03.12
This is Radio in Opposition's debut on Subcity. For the uninitiated, this show aims to gain exposure for lesser known bands. Taking cues from the Rock in Opposition movement of the 1970s, Radio in Opposition explores the artists you wouldn't normally expect to hear on the radio. For this show, I've chosen the theme of Winter into Spring and selected some tracks I thought represented this theme, whether closely, loosely, or oddly. Enjoy.
Note: This show is broadcast live on WDIY Allentown, PA (US), in addition to being hosted by Subcity. Any references to WDIY and what time it is are related to this.

from russia with love
Spring has come early to Kaleidoscope in this episode with a breezy eclectic blend to blast those winter blues for good. Refreshing new tracks filter through the soundwaves, with MIA's 'Bad Girls' being a particular highlight. A dose of soul is added to the mix by Linda Lyndell's 'What a Man', which follows the sixties spirit of The Animals track 'Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood'.
This week's half hour mix 'From Russia With Love' was cobbled together in recognition of the country's exciting current music producers. The discovery was also partially inspired by bitterTV who feature twice. The downtempo beguiling beats channel some new firm favourites and encourage listeners to tune in to this state's talent more often.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 17.03.12
What's new? El-P's back with a track from his upcoming, highly anticipated LP "Cancer For Cure". If this song's anything to go by, the new album's going to be solid gold. There's also some more beat-based stuff later on in this episode with an inspiring little number by Clams Casino from last year's excellent instrumental mixtape. Ah, hip-hop; why's it been so long?
Touché Amoré are playing Glasgow next week, and in an attempt to pump you up for their Stereo gig, I spin a selection of tracks from their debut LP "...To the Beat of a Dead Horse" - their second recommended record on Source Tags. Oh, and I share a few words about Broken Social Scene's much revered sophomore record "You Forgot it in People" here, too. It's an album which I hadn't gotten around to 'til now. Better late than never, right?

nosleep. feat shane linehan
This evening we have 24 yr old Cork based producer and DJ Shane Linehan on the show with an exclusive mix. 2 years ago Shane started producing and had his first release on the digital label NG415 last summer, he then went on to launch his own vinyl label Basic Grooves Recordings in the September of 2011 releasing 100 cheeky white labels of his EP ‘My Initial Grooves’; these fell into the hands of house DJ’s like Jeremy ‘My Love Is Underground’ and sold out within a week on Juno Records. The EP was then re released in the January 2012 and had similar success. Shane’s just had an EP out on Local Talk and his second Basic Grooves will be hitting stores this March as will a remix on Spanish label Saft. Linehan’s mix shows a slightly deeper side to his collection and features a couple of his personnel favorites. The Irish chap is busy in the studio so expect a lot more to come from him in 2012 and beyond.

A wretched week spent reacquainting myself with my own peculiar brand of sleep disorder, beaten just in time to fuck the whole thing up once more at the weekend. Don't even go out that much any more, barely drink half what I used to, stick to the softer supplements as a rule. Still no dice.
Anyway.
This week I'm bringing you a rancid, sweaty, steaming dose of the brand new. Well, as brand new as a man on my budget can possibly manage.
No themes, no bullshit. Just a mainlined fug of clapped out cyborg minge and blasted soul (not Soul)connivance. Featuring an exclusive track from Austerity Britains ultra delayed forthcoming Hand Loom Lament CD-R and dungheap fresh interventions from Robert Turman, NHK, Toshimaru Nakamura and John Butcher, Black To Comm, Ben Vida and the hearthrob dreamboat cumpuddle axis that constitutes Merzbow/Marhaug.
Might even throw in some stuff that came out over a week ago to keep you cunts on your toes.

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 15.03.12
So that new Haino/Ambarchi/O'Rourke album is the absolute bollocks, eh?
There's been a fair bit of Awkward shopping this week, but that one is something fucking else.
Mind you, John Olson's new Henry and Hazel Slaughter project is a total brain-rape as well. Like the Vanity cassettes run through a bunch of fucked junk from a Michigan pawn-shop, previous owner probably dead. It's the tits.
So it's going to be all new shit tonight (new to us, anyway) - a bit like looking into our living rooms with your ears. (Nobody wants the eyes...)
Expect the above-mentioned rinse outs, seven inches of Oxfam Music gold, a bunch of shit I got for selling some old CDs and the best find so far after a hefty dub binge.
Get greased.

If previous recordings are anything to go by, expect a loop-driven multi-layered odyssey through juke, trap, hip hop and whatever else.

saturday night news story (guest takeover)
For this episode, we're very pleased to announce that our friends Lennart & Sebastian have sent us over a special mix to play. The pair host a monthly radio show called 'For A Better Tomorrow' on the German based station Radio X, giving them a platform to showcase their wide-ranging and extensive collection of music.
Playing and selecting all kinds of genres from detroit techno to new wave, and from early disco to obscure russian space rock, when we came across their blogspot page whilst searching for information regarding a certain record one of us purchased in a charity shop, right away we noticed how similar their tastes were to ours. Keeping a close eye on the blog, over the next couple of months Fergus tuned in live a couple of times and then we knew we had to get in touch.
Expect material the likes of Chris Carter, The Arabian Prince & The Sheiks, Skudge, Lucifer and John Carpenter.

bloc-tastic!!
So....did you know Glasgow's Bar Bloc recently received the accolade of best Scottish Licence Trade music venue of the year? Neither did we! Moreover, it's the first independent venue to do so, surely a reflection of the huge amount of effort spent in recent times transforming the establishment into a happy house offering all sorts of fine noisy happenings.
She Said is delighted to welcome Chris Cusack to its midst to enlighten us with his entrepreneurial ways. We like Chris.....he’s Bloc's venue manager/promoter, musician, writer and general good guy. He comes from Stirling and does not have a beard. He likes being in a confined space with us for the purposes of saving the nation from itself, musically and sexually.
We're pretty sure you will too.

café disco in session
For the first time on The Pop Cop radio show, we've got a full band playing live in session rather than the usual acoustic shenanigans - the honour of providing the first one falls to Café Disco, two boys and two girls from Irvine, Biggar and Glasgow who have been together for just 12 months. In that short time they have honed their craft with incessant gigging and recorded some fantastic indie-rock anthems, such as Terra Nova, which was funded by donations to The Pop Cop blog. Cool, huh?
If that's not enough to make appetites whetted, we've also got a studio guest in the shape of Lloyd Meredith of Peenko fame aka The Friendliest Blogger in Scotland. Good craic and Scottish music scene gossip pretty much guaranteed then.

When Dave Box had a party for a significant birthday booked two Chicago soul stars Jackie Ross and Syl Johnson to perform.
No surprise to those that know Dave or to listeners of Soulful Allsorts on Subcity. Dave makes an annual visit to Scotland with a couple of boxes of records and brain full of knowledge on the Chicago Soul scene.
Dave has been visiting the Windy City since a young man but rather than just hit the record stores he sought out artists, writers and producers associated with Chicago’s soul sounds.
He has been a consultant for several soul compilations including the recent four cd six lp box set on Syl Johnson issued by The Numero Group.
Dave’s visits are always a treat for Fraser Dunn and Felonious and the Soulful Allsorts audience. He brings a great selection of records every time and he always has a story to tell about them. Catch him on Subcity live at 2:00pm and later on Listen Again.

first words from new sdt boss
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 09.03.12
Once again, the absence of Producer Harry has allowed Vile to stray into dubious territory. Not only does he confuse David Fennessy with David Lang (yes, they are both contemporary classical composers, but still..), play a random Asobi Seksu track and then tries to link it to International Women's day (24 hours too late, Vile), he went through his old interviews, found one with Fleur Darkin and edited it.
So the "first words from new Scottish Dance Theatre artistic director" may not be strictly accurate. In fact, Vile just took a really cool sentence and looped it over a Four Tet track. His claims that he did it to get attention are sadly accurate.
But have a listen for intelligent words from The Said Ensemble and Eleanor Morton (comedian) and two more guests from the Buzzcut Festival...

dancing shoes at the ready
This week on Build+Destroy we're taking a romp through the back catalogue of one of the UK's finest ever drum and bass labels. Don't expect any witty banter, nor any pirate radio style shout outs, for this one you're getting an uninterrupted 25 tracks in 2 hours from the darker side of Moving Shadow. We'll be starting with SHADOW1 way back in 1991 and taking you on a fine journey through the history of the squiggly man right up to one of the final releases in 2006. Superb.

daggermouth third album demos
You can download these bad boys for the princely sum of $0.50 right here. Almost certainly worth it given the quality of their previous work. Support a good band who had to die early, stump up the $0.50 and don't pirate it.

sandwell district live @ animal farm 06.01.12
Extra special show this week as we play an hour of Sandwell District's amazing live set from Animal Farm back in January. Regis & Function (plus a 909) absolutely tore the roof of the Sub and this set highlights why these two really are top tier performers.

"Du-Du-Du-Du-Du, De Dee, I can't stand the rain, against my window."
Ann Peebles knows, do you?
The week we play an eclectic, funk fuelled soul set, with the vast bulk of tracks having been cherry picked straight from a recently procured "Ace Records Sampler" CD. A fantastic compilation (Vol. 4) which covers some well known and some rarer gems from across the soul spectrum. You'll find tracks from the likes of 'The Ikettes', 'Z.Z Hill', 'Bettye Swann', 'Mary Love' and many more.

back once again
Eleanor and Thalia are united once again for another great episode of No Means Yes. This week they excel themselves by playing a vast selection of hip hop from the 90s to the present day; however the chat remains the usual low brow conversation expected on No Means Yes. Featuring discussion on Beyonce's method of breast feeding, Ludacris's blatant sexualisation of everything in all his songs and the dramatic return of Rihanna and Chris Brown as one.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 02.03.12
Vile alone in the studio... yet Producer Harry has made sure that he has plenty to play. Interviews with Errol White, choreographer (currently touring Scotland), JC Marshall, author (her play Plume is on at the Tron) and Joe Quimby, musicians (TAWWW, Remember, Remember, Hivver and collaborator of Iona Kewney, appearing in Kelvingrove as part of the Victorian weekend...) are laid out on the desk top - so at least Vile wouldn't be flying solo for too long.

Interviews in full can be found on our mixcloud. There's even a bit extra in the form of an interview with Thomas Truax.

silence from the dirty well
We threw the bucket down the old well to see what kind of Subterranean creatures we could drag up from the deep!
We brought up some wonderful night crawlers including the majestic sound of:
SCOTT WALKER, CLAUDE SPEEED, RADIOHEAD, PORTISHEAD
and some sublime words from THE DOORS, Andrei Codrescu and Ray Succre.
Plus much more so gather round and light the fires!
Tonight we feast on the minds from the deep.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 03.03.12
There's new music on the horizon... Death Grips have recently signed to Epic and are releasing not one, but two new albums this year. Hear a cut from the first one, due out in April, right here. Super fun, fuzzed-out indie rockers PS I Love You are also dropping a new album in May; I open with the second track from it.
Elsewhere, there's some effects-drenched Americana from The War on Drugs, a band I've slept on up until now, and there's some cuts from show favourites Jesu and Mount Eerie for good measure. There's also an exclusive demo from Planning For Burial, recorded just the previous day before this show aired. Thanks a lot to Thom for that one. Also, I think I found my first musical treasure of 2012. Check out this week's recommended record to find out more...

beware! the ides of march...
Tonight's 1st March show could be deemed as 'damage control'.
With the next scheduled Tarantism radio show to take place in two weeks, it lands on the ill fated 15th March, famous as the date of the once great Julius Caesar's demise.
Nathan often finds himself being compared to the great Caesar... and I, personally, do not disagree. As his trusty henchman, I fear that the end may be nigh for the two of us. Resultantly, he will sit out of this show to muster up some plans of defense using his strongest trait - military tactical genius.
Alas, this therefore may be the last opportunity for our listeners to hear the music that comes from, and continually adds to, our vast record collection. I would therefore like to take the chance to do a one off show that lacks a specific theme, or pre-determined direction...
Alone, but with the aid of regular Tarantism guest, Rebenga 'FortyWinks' Dunn, I will play a collection of the tracks and vinyl I have been buying recently, as well as a few old tunes which have crept back into my daily listening.
Will we be here in two weeks time?
What do the Ides of March have in store for Tarantism?
Does Nathan have crabs?
Et tu, Brute?

This week:
The home brewed tape scene of the 1980s has been recalibrated and spunked out into the interzone big time over the last few years. Fuck, most of us have entire hard drives dripping with innumerable ultra obscure sub underground psycho-folk from Bhutan and proto-Industrial hate straight out of a Minnesota garage in '86.
But amidst the (now temporarily stemmed) tide of one-time impossibly esoteric and largely uncontextualized infoslabs we all got hipped to by Mutant Sounds or D.I.Y or DIE certain currents become noticeable and subjectively crafted into a weird kind of horizontal scene... these people didn't necessarily know they were doing something that referenced anything outside of themselves and their own taste, but the hyper cataloguing of subculture in the age of cyberspace lets cunts like me get all blokey and try to assemble lineages or something.
So, to that end, I present a mixtape in progress that teases out... utopian synth exploration, wide eyed smacked out anti-disco, weather-beaten no budget galactic escapism (when the nearest different planet outside of your own door is probably Bolton) and full of technofuturist fetishism.
All crafted in someones bedroom years ago. All reaching for the stars.
I hope the result is more like that bloke who used to appear on North West Tonight all the time back in the day with rockets he had built in his shed than it is Appollo 13.

The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 29.02.12
After another unfortunate spell from the airwaves, the lads are finally back to present you with an hour and a half of more cheek than you could give to the elderly.
The boys discuss recent news affairs, play in what looks to be one of the best Defend the Indefensible's and one of the best Pitch It's yet.
On top of the usual fonkay tunes, Callum also helps another young teenager with his gland-issues.
As if this wasn't enough, the Cheeky Breakfast's debut multi-disciplinary performance event "The Pitch: Apocalypse" is also talked about in so much detail you'll wish you'd have been able to get a ticket!
Tune in and butter up your earholes for this instalment of unadulterated cheek.
And remember, you can put a bear anywhere.

back by dope demand...
So you may have noticed a severe lack of broadcasting from Synth over the last few weeks or so. Let us assure you that we've not abandoned the show, merely made it monthly so we can focus more energy and time towards it. Tonight we return with all our usual features and a whole stack of amazing new records to play (and when we say records, we mean high quality mp3s of course).
To kick off the new schedule, mega-hype merchant, Tim Narloch will be providing a very special guest mix in which he get's deep and bassy for your aural gratification. We've been seriously impressed by this guy over the last few months so we definitely suggest locking in. As always, music will be strictly Glasgow based with new tunes and mixes from Mirrors, Milton Jackson, Dominic Martin and Rebecca Vasmant.
Finally, three outstanding producers will be battling it out for our all-important Local Hero award with Yutani ft Zayn, Grobbie and Ovr Kill in this week's running. The countdown is on...

vitamins radio w/ checan (unknown to the unknown)
Normal service resumes this week on Vitamins and to set things off, Sheffield based producer Checan has recorded one of the most high energy mixes we've had on the show to date. As well as running the Bunga Bunga clubnight in his hometown, his latest release 'HYTZ' on Unknown to the Unknown is undoubtedly one of the stand outs of 2012 so far. Expect 30 minutes of rolling UKG, Bassline & Grime - straight party music.
We'll also be playing some of our favourite cuts from El-B & West Norwood Cassette Library, our two guests at Vitamins 7, as well as revealing the first details of what's in store

Yes, from the bottom of today's chat barrel we produced the theme 'pub quizzes', so listen in for some tips, warnings and general etiquette, as we shamelessly plug the pub quiz we're doing. At Curlers. On the 27th February. See you there!!?!
Also the playlist is exclusively eighties, and is every good as bit as that suggests it might be.

Todays show sees us take a break from rap to bring you some of the more experimental sounds that we have been listening to of late.

Thanks for listening and enjoy the change in vibe.

Before heading down to Brighton to see Deafheaven and Circle Takes the Square with Tim McQuillian (_ultra yonic, The DDN), I spin the new 15-minute single from Fucked Up in its entirity, some new Xiu Xiu from the upcoming album "Always", and some recent stuff from Russian Circles among others.
Then, Tim drops in to discuss his latest musical endeavours, and we proceed to big-up the amazing record from Glasgow-based musician Steven Gribbin, released under the moniker theapplesofenergy.

Fraser, Felonious and guest DJ Alan McKenzie played five hours of soul last night at The Pollok ES Club.
Today's edition of Soulful Allsorts will continue the buzz with Fraser's own selection of Soul from across the eras and styles.
Fraser's US friends keep him up to date with some singers, songs or recordings overlooked by lesser soul shows.
Today's show will feature at least two sides from Motown, a pair of deep soul rarities, a selection of choice album cuts and some in between record chat.

I gave in. Broken, beaten, bottom of the stairs. A teary cummy puddle of regret. Fuck, I didn't even used to wake up until midnight. These days I'm in bits by noon. Over a decades worth of dodgy downers and terrible (I mean, really really bad) booze and daysleeping has resulted in a 26 year old semi-carcass of a man with the energy levels of a burnt out Lada whose owner has left the lights on overnight.
So I pussied out big time and asked to get rescheduled. But don't worry, I'm not gunna start dropping James Last and that. I'll just have to get used to playing the weird shit in daylight. Piece of piss.
As an absolute cuntmouthed war criminal once said, a new dawn has broken (has it not). And I've heralded it by putting together a fractured collage of minature sounds, over 40 eyeblink blats of dilletante sonics, all of them under a minute long, most them not much over 30 seconds. Blocks of bleached black static, mangled semi skits, rerouted segues and gobs of pulse, retuned intervention and cocktease glimpses of the perverted sublime.
Plus brand new boogie from Richard Youngs, Imbogodom, Gonjasufi and a wild reissue from Doug Jerebine.

4-year-old Christian preachers, fuzzed-out garage/psych rarities, low-budget dub electro, harrowing a capella blues, amazing new gear from Richard Youngs and the usual load of blown-out post punk fuck-ups.

When Producer Harry arrived in the office to find Vile desperately reading Pitchfork to "find out what the kids are digging", he managed to get the host to think about tomorrow's show. And so, in a flurry of activity, Vile found his guests...
"This week, we are going back to the future: a chat about Victorian times with a member of the 85a collective, then bang up to date with Ben Butler and Mousepad. There's a few more possibles, but I don't want to give it all away."
"You know I won't be on tomorrow," added Harry. "So that's half the audience lost already."
"I have a great playlist lined up, and Josh is going to join me for a while, too. Have you heard the Grimes album yet?"

This week is a real mixed back of Rap, R&B, House and lots of other goodness in between. Black Hippy and A$AP are seriously putting in work; re-igniting a widespread love for new and exciting rap that I haven't seen for a long time. Nevermind the future - I'm excited for the present.

This week we welcome the Resurface residents into the studio as they prepare for their launch night @ La Cheetah this weekend with heavy hitting techno act ANCIENT METHODS
A force to be reckoned with, Ancient Methods have forged a unique identity, striking a balance on each release between devastating four to the floor crunchers and off-beat, broken techno. This is uncompromising, raw techno that does not sacrifice quality or care. A great chance to see one of techno's most exciting acts up close and personal!

stuck in the 60s // half an hour
This weeks show is a kaleidoscopic fusion, made especially resonant by the half hour 'sixties mix' where Chubby Checker and Shirley Ellis pick up the pace. Images of an old working mens club are duly summoned by a pick of the boldest sounds from a tumultuous era.
Echoes of the past are sandwiched between new shapes on 2012's musical horizon, from Channel Twenty's 'Western Walk through to the hypnotic 'Inside Out' by Noble Oak. Tracks throughout encourage a creative approach to listening; an ear to the past as well as an eye on the future.

fraser dunn plays some great school
Thanks for all the likes on our Facebook page Soulful Allsorts on Subcity, the e mails to studio@subcity.org and the messages to the radio thread on Essential Modern Soul.
We're still the longest running ( with a tip of the hat to George Reid and Soulville) and possibly the best for playing original vinyl and new source soul.
We still have a large live listenership on Saturdays at 2:00pm and of course we're on Listen Again at subcity.org.
Tune in for a nod to Motown, two deep soul gems, the oddball selection and great soul from all eras and tempos.

It's time for Shaun & Sam to turn the lights down real low, slip into something a little more comfortable and reveal their sensitive sides. This late night special will celebrate the music dedicated to the highs and lows of falling in and out love. From breaking up to making up, things are going to get emosh.

an exclusive mix from mr vaughn robert squire
Whether you're celebrating or lamenting another Valentines Day, there's no reason not to enjoy the plethora of amazing love songs that get rinsed out on February 14th ever year.
Today is a day of slow jams, R&B classics, and on Codeine Drums, we've got something really special for you all.
Prison Garde is a producer, DJ, art gallery curator and all round creative dude from Montreal. When we hit him up to do a mix for us, we did not expect to hear what we found in our inbox; a glorious half hour of original edits of old Disco, Boogie and R&B records, all deliciously chopped 'n' screwed, just how we like it.
You can check him at his site here >>>>

feelings 4 u // 2012
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes skips into 2012 to the beat of La Sera's 'Please Be My Third Eye'. January blues are blasted away with a mix of old gems - The Kinks 'Victoria' and Blondie's 'Denise' - and enticing new favourites. A toast to the future is given by the half hour 'Feelings 4 U' mix, gesturing to a sense of closure with a nod to all the good things to come through shimmering sound waves. A Japanese highlight arrives in the form of 'Sakura' by Caves, a true new years recharge that will have your fingertips poised over 'repeat' while traditional random thoughts and musings can be found in between.

Whose Responsible This? // 12.02.12
Hello again. There was an illness monkeying with 50% of our collected mass last time, so the show had to be put on hiatus. Fortunately, we're still keeping it fresh, so all that old news won't be brought out from my Firefox history to keep you entertained. I have new news this week. Better news, in fact. Load our nonsense from 13:00 this Sunday, won't you?

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 11.02.12
This week: some moody material from a new Planning for Burial cassette (limited to 55 copies) and a 5.25" floppy from Airs, limited to 20 copies. Yeah, ridiculously obsolete formats are what the cools kids are into. I also throw on a 7" one of my friends helped put out from a nice little local band who played in his flat (also known as "The Negi Dungeon"), and the opener from the solid new album by The Twilight Sad. Cool. This week's recommended record is a collaborative effort from Pyramids/Horseback; an eerie, ghostly thing. It's great.

FIIK. Two hours of great soul with positive and negative outcomes in the romantic stakes. Songs about love and songs about lying, cheating and a mean mistreating. Motown, deep soul and uptempo pleading will be in the mix for today's Soulful Allsorts coming from the romantic surroundings of Gilmorehill where's there a wedding each and every week.

downs downs deeper and downs...
Well it's finally happened. The She Said team have reached such levels of despair, we've finally been reduced to accepting the barrage of offers, both oral and aural, from ethereal goth upstarts The Downs. Much to our horror it seem Tony and Josh from the group will be joining us in the studio this week to bless us with their reported charm, inexplicably odd music taste and frankly clichéd innuendo.
Oh aye, did we mention they'll be playing EXCLUSIVE tracks from their recently recorded debut album? My how that word, more resplendent than ever in capitals, gets us aroused!
Be there in black.

another packed show of fun, film and fantasy
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 10.02.12
And in the absence of Producer Harry, Vile goes wild: Flatrate talk about Frames per Minute, their collaboration night with the Glasgow Short Film Festival and Words Per Minute; Tawona Sithole visits in advance of the opening of his new show at the Tron; Gail Tolley talks short film, Cargo talk publishing and Margins festival... Random Accomplice say a few words.
The playlist might be a little short on music, Vile worries...

beat beneath returns... yet again
It's been a few months since Beat Beneath last appeared on the schedule, for reasons mostly relating to the presenter temporarily relocating some 400 miles from the Subcity studio. However I'm back now and kicking off the show for 2012 with a brand new Sunday evening slot - ideal if you need that one last dose of tuneage before accepting the weekend is over.
This week's episode will dive straight into the usual type of no-nonsense quality techno and house music that Beat Beneath has been mixing up on air since 2008, with some of the playlist currently depending on whether Royal Mail make it to the office before the weekend rolls in (if not I've picked up more than enough good stuff in the last few months so no worries at all...) Get on it live at 9pm 12/02/2012 or listen anytime after.

This isn't England. It's odder than that. It's a refraction of suppressed weirdo currents, a channeling of pre-corporate, industrialized multiculture.
Expect taut as fuck folk cult moves, the implied menace of wrongscape paens to the Open University, ungovernable outsider spittle punk and the summoning of ancient demons, the ones that were birthed by the old, weird England. Replete with unfeasibly large collections of ornamental garden gnomes, pinches of snuff, pork scratchings and total class war.

show 18: city of corpses
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 09.02.12
Australia gets a pretty bad rap, eh?
Aboriginal concentration camps, cops butchering homosexuals, the mass murders of Truro, Bevan Von Einem's love of 15-year-olds, casks filled with acid and corpses, dingoes eating babies, Isla Fisher, nurses setting fire to nursing homes...you know the score.
Then there's that cunt Gillard.
But they do have AC/DC. And that Wolf Creek film. All is fucking forgiven.
So, in honour of the country that gave us one of the Simpsons' best episodes, The Awkward Sons are going digging down under.
Strap your dicks in for 60 minutes of solid gold from one of THE unsung musical landscapes on the fucking planet.
It's not all about Nick Cave, you know. Far from it.

With two parties in two cities, this weekend is shaping up to be our most hectic yet. For this weeks show, Tuff Wax crooner Yoin has done a 25 minute mix, featuring some of his own forthcoming material, ahead of his appearance in Aberdeen on Friday. Shaun & Sam will be also going through songs they are likely to include in their sets as well as some of their favourite cuts from both Lone & Mosca.
We're giving away a pair of tickets for both events. To enter, post the word Glasgow or Aberdeen with a link to a song that reminds you of either city on our facebook
A winner for each city will be chosen at random and announced on air.

no show tonight (again)
Unfortunately we're going to have to miss another show tonight on Subcity due to reasons beyond our control. We're aiming towards getting back in the studio next week and can assure you there is a good reason for our absence in the meantime. As always you can find solace in the many back episodes stored in the Subcity library...you may find the early shows particularly amusing!

mike nisbet in session
This month's session guest is Mike Nisbet, who unfortunately had to cancel his scheduled appearance in January's show due to toothache.
His stunning debut record Vagrant was in The Pop Cop's top 10 albums of 2011 and here's what I wrote about the man from Oban when I put him in my top 10 tips of 2012:
"You can't help but admire Mike Nisbet, quietly going about his business with little fanfare before releasing a remarkable debut album that makes you wonder why more musicians don't spend as much time honing their craft as they do pimping themselves on Facebook. Vagrant is a proper singer-songwriter's record, untouched by fads or trends. It deserves to make this man the biggest word-of-mouth success story from Scotland since Admiral Fallow."
Check out Mike Nisbet's music via Bandcamp, Facebook, Twitter and his website.

.. is it noise or sweet sweet music?
Source Tags and Mixtapes // 04.02.12
This week's episode is rather chaotic - there's some gentle indie-rock from Cymbals Eat Guitars just to ease you in, as well as a healthy dose of punk rock from the recently reformed At The Drive-In and Refused at the gentler end of the scale. Also here: Cease Upon the Capitol dish out some cathartic post-hardcore, and Allie bring some spazzed-out punk tricks with their contribution to this week's Songs for Singles.
But the real treat here is the recommended record: Grind Madness at the BBC, an 118-track, 3-disc compilation featuring several forerunners of the English grindcore scene of the late 80s/early 90s. Great fun. The comedown? The opening track from an album I thoroughly recommend: "Unknown Lands" by The Caution Children. Hey, it's free, why not?

ssaliva/cupp cave/squeaky lobster/sagat
Ahead of the Vlek party at Stereo on Friday 10th February, we've got the whole rooster coming into the studio, combining their sensibilities for an electrifying wild spree of funky, esoteric party jams from the thrilling, innovative electronic record label. It's the first time in the UK for the label, so the radio show and club will be a celebration of what they’re known for: “thumping 909 beats, hypnotic analog basslines, and a touch of disjointed psychedelia to top it all off.”

dirty riddims
Funky Junk settles down into the new Saturday 9pm slot with an eclectic mix of Northern Soul, and some of the more selectively sleazy Rhythmic Blues out there. After the iTunes spending spree of this week, post pay-day; we settle down to play some of our new mp3 based purchases and report on some recent soul based shenanigans. Upto and including the drama of the talcum powdered Wee Red Bar dancefloor, and why if I actually owned Frank Wilson's "Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)" on its original vinyl, I probably wouldn't be so skint...

It's Horror Comedy time on the Vile Arts, as the NTS gears up for their production of "An Appointment with the Wicker Man." Over at GFT, it's Horror Musical time, as the film festival offers Fright Night and Gene Kelly. On the Vile Arts, it's always Tragic Horror, as Producer Harry is AWOL and Vile is overwhelmed. Pathetic really.
Great guests, though...

With a flourishing discography and carreer working closely with such artists and groups as De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Janet Jackson, Heavy D, Q-tip, Guilty Simpson, Madlib, Talib Kweli, Doom, Proof and many many more, Dilla is widely considered to be one of the most influential artists in hip hop history.
This week over two hours I will be playing through some of my favourite Jay Dee tracks from his early productions with 5 Elementz, Slum Village and The Pharcyde to his posthumous albums and recently re-released classics.
Post your requests over here and I'll make sure they get played on the show.

bof house
Tonight, Tarantism will be devoid of our voices on the mic... strictly vocal samples.
Behold a groovy, bassy mix of 100% pure 4-4 rhythms hailing from all forms of the music we know as 'House'. Recorded at our residency at the famed Bofhaus, the legendary music lounge/food emporium that also serves as Nathan of Tarantism's flat.
We played host to DJ Akela of Itch! (formerly Chungo of Itch!) and rode the flow with him for two straight hours, recording the mix in one take.
Enjoy.

first show of 2012, second birthday party.
Our first show of 2012 see's us ramming in some amount of content for you to enjoy in a mere two hours.
Since it's been a while, we'll be catching up with you guys, filling you in on what we've been up to, our gossip, you know us girls. Also we'll be looking ahead at 2012 and what we are particularly excited about/looking forward to.
One thing we have been up to since we last spoke, has been partying, and one particular night gave us something to be excited about this year - How's Your Party, with The 2 Bears headlining, alongside previous guest Mia Dora and Disclosure, the latter being our new ones to watch. So we grabbed them for a chat ahead of their live set at the Sub Club, and we'll be letting you hear what they had to say on tonights show.
Another thing has creeped up on us this year, now that we are monthly - our second birthday! So expect some party shenanigans with Floyd mixing it up in a true party style.

no sleep f/ guest mix from zoo look
This week we shall be having a look at a trio from down south, 'Zoo Look'. First we shall be looking at some of their production then moving on to an hour mix from the boys! Here is a short bio:
-Zoo Look-
After years of friendship and DJing together Sam, Alex and Craig aka Zoo Look combined forces in 2010 through a mutual love of house music. Their first release ‘Holdin’ On’ was a great success after being picked up by Defected side-label Tenth Circle. The reception for the debut EP was extremely positive and this got the ball rolling very nicely for things to come, including the follow up releases on Kolour LTD, Sccucci Manucci, Tusk, More Music and many more to be announced, things are looking good for Zoo Look’s future. Now with the focus on deep house (their original true love) you can expect to hear a very different side to Zoo Look over the next few months.

have some faith in the red room
On this week's episode of The Red Room, we discussed a myriad of subjects, ranging from our love of the art-form known as the sitcom, how we would survive on a desert island, and our disdain at the book-repurposing movement.
We also discussed what our lives would be like if they took place inside a movie, reminisced about horrible train rides we've experienced, and expressed our annoyance about YouTube and Google Plus.
Also, since this week's show marked one year since we began putting on gigs, we took the opportunity to begin promoting our first gig of 2012: Tangles, theapplesofenergy, and Left of Venus at The Old Hairdressers on Wednesday 22nd February (tickets).

freezing fridays fleeing from me
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes allows dreampop sensation Friends to illuminate her feelings in this episode. 'Friend Crush' signals the beginning of a pick-me-up from snowy Glasgow, that really comes to the fore in the half hour 'Tough Lately mix'. Here comforting thoughts are layered with washed out synthesised beats from Class Actress to Cadillac.
The tracks throughout channel whistful longing and blissful nostalgia from Crystallin's 'Motorcycle Girl', Sufjan Steven's 'Chicago' and the forever resonating 'Killing Moon' by Echo and the Bunnymen.

less setback, more metaphor
When life hits you with setbacks, you can either lie there on life's metaphorical Byres Road, with life's metaphorical broken wine bottle by your side, or you can GET UP, aided by life's metaphorical three strangers (one of whom was middle aged..er...in the metaphor) or, better still, by (life's literal) YOURSELF. GODDIT?
Post punk/new wave tracks (like dem good old deadbeat days) plus some newer stuff, the playlist gives you a good indication of what it must be like to be Anna's neighbour. (This effect could be enhanced by listening to the show through a wall, but we wouldn't recommend it.)

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 27.01.12
It's another lively show, most likely caused by Producer Harry's continued secret mission. In his absence, Vile goes mad for guests (he managed to make no musical choices in this show, meaning the playlist is better than usual). Here they are - if you want to read more about them, the blog will probably feature something fresh any day now.
Begin the show with the trio of artists shouting Love at the World via SWG3... Then hear from Simon Hart about the Manipulate Festival (highlights are chosen)... Vile nips off to see Raydale, who is getting Cryptic next week at the CCA... Zorras sing live in the studio and get into alternative cabaret styles... Opul explain Poetronica... Tom Pritchard improvises... Miaoux Miaoux explains his relationship to knitting....

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 28.01.12
This is Source Tags & Mixtapes' first show of the 2012 session on Subcity Radio, which runs up until June. After that, the future is uncertain.
So, it's a new year, and there's plenty on the horizon for interesting and passionate music. We've already had some worthwhile releases, and I've cherrypicked some new material from Alcest, ††† and Have A Nice Life. Elsewhere, there's some talk of my gig experiences of 2012 thus far, as well as the airing of some new musical obsessions.
It's good to be back. Let's kill this year.

lucky episode 13
The rules are going out with the window this month at the Vinyl Cut, with a real mixed bag of disparate picks spewed direct from the 'curious' brains of Dave and Anth!
We're not straying too far from the formula, though, so you can expect the usual mishmash of legitimate soundtrack music, killer songs from movies and forgotten classics of the silver screen, including contributions from Danny Elfman, Christopher Young, Joe Esposito and even a track featuring voodoo-soaked Brazilian horror director Coffin Joe himself!
Also this month, a special edition of TV Quick with an emphasis on spy/espionage TV shows. Be seeing you!

great club night last night
The Soulful Allsorts crew with Guest DJ played five hours of soul, Motown and R&B last night to busy club and flowing dance floor. Thanks to everyone who turned up. I think we'll still be flying high on today's show.
Fraser will be dipping into his collection for a mix of soul tunes, at least two tips to Motown, our deep soul selection and an oddball choice.
There'll be a gig guide and you can contact us via Facebook

haggis, neeps and titties...
So this week's show happened to fall on Burns' night and as such our Tea Time Rave Off was specially heavy, encouraging you to through a wobbly with your Haggis. Provided by up and coming Electro-starlet, Digital Switchover, you can expect big basslines and some exclusive material from his forthcoming EP.
New music came from the likes of Zayn, Holobeams & Broken Machines and Dersonna, plus Soosh, Weakhunt and Slow It Down fought it out for our Local Hero award (although as is usually the case, all three were deserved of the title). Big in the game...

translation 45
“And it came to me then. That we were wonderful traveling companions but in the end no more than lonely lumps of metal in their own separate orbits. From far off they look like beautiful shooting stars, but in reality they're nothing more than prisons, where each of us is locked up alone, going nowhere. When the orbits of these two satellites of ours happened to cross paths, we could be together. But that was only for the briefest moment. In the next instant we'd be in absolute solitude. Until we burned up and became nothing.”
One hour session from Fergus.

This week we have a special guest in the form of Neil from the Escapologists. Among other things he will be playing previously unheard new Escapologists material and also something new from his new project, Forever Sound. We'll be playing the usual nonsense with the below average banter you have come to expect.

This weeks show is largely dedicated to new rap joints that dropped late 2011 whilst the station was off air for the holidays, and early 2012.
YMCMB do a lil' bit of hyphy-loving with Drake and Tyga, who strip the beats back and let the verses do the talking on 'The Motto' and 'Rack City'. We've been bumpin' Young Jeezy's long awaited Thug Motivation 103 tape since the end of December, as well as two ladies who we're excited to hear more from this year, Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks.
We have some really exciting mixes and guest features coming your way in the next few weeks, so hold tight for new on those.

mark maxwell (fortfied/this is our house)
I met Mark at the beginning of the month when I invited him to play a night I was putting on. Having never met him before I soon realized he had a sublime taste in music . As well as being a badman dj and a really nice guy he also co-runs the blog wwww.thisisourhouse.org. As a resident at Glasgow's seminal fortified expect a lot of great music spanning a lot of genres.

a suckmyleftone history of hiphop
This week we present a (shamefully incomplete, highly truncated and wildly biased) history of female MCs. From Lady B back in 1979 to Azealea Banks in 2012, by way of Queen Latifah, Princess Superstar and Yo! Majesty. Ladies, get ready for some Cootchie Bang and Booty Klap.

is it noise or sweet sweet music?
Perhaps against our better judgement we're BACK for some more Subcity Radio shenanigans.
Ants has listened to some NEW MUSIC meaning we'll have a pretty crafty selection of tunes this week the likes of which you've never heard us play before. We've even got a theme tune, interludes and other awesome stuff.
So tune in for our usual eclectic mix. You won't regret it.
Come join us for some nonsense.

They say you can't change a man, right?!? Oh, but you can. Who? Hugh. Hugh heard us! It's time for a new hugh (you?), and only you (hugh?) can change hugh (you?). You (hugh?) follow?
As well as handy self improvement information, our ruddy darn playlist also reflects the show's focus on change. Initially, demonstrating the interesting diversity in sound between two songs by the same artist, and then by changing (hey, why the hell not!!?) to a half hour american indie mix that has nothing to do with change whatsoever.

likwit fusion preview { inkke & ship canal }
~
◊ Ahead of the first ever Likwit Fusion event, Earthly Matters has a very exciting, special preview with two of the performers from the night. ◊
~
◊ One half of the residents, Inkke will be accompanying us in the studio to chat about the premise of the event, his recently released EP, and what his plans for the future are, amongst different other things. He will also be providing us with a guest mix. ◊
~
◊ Furthermore we will also be joined by the bearer of the Hand Loom Lament record label, and spokesperson of Subcity's Worst Chips Ever radio show, Ship Canal, who will be performing a live set for us. On top of that an interview about the Likwit Fusion event, his recently released material released via his record label's website, plus a variety of other topics. ◊
~
◊ Inkke ◊
Inkke is a young, Glaswegian beat-maker whose productions fuse elements of atmospheric hip-hop alongside uptempo influences of the UK underground with an aura of finely textured samples. You may know him from his other name DJ Jinty and his weekly radio show on Subcity Radio, Gutter Riddim.
~
◊ Ship Canal ◊
Bearer of the Hand Loom Lament, and demagogue transmitter of the Worst Chips Ever radio show on Subcity Radio, Ship Canal is one man's way of leading us into unfamiliar territories through a psychologically ominous take on twisted ambient infusions of paranoia driven VST blasts and IDM deliveries. Experimental, atmospheric, and the preeminent embodiment of all things haunting.

She Said is not best pleased with the shite weather, the never-ending darkness, the state of the economy or the abhorrent taste of aubergines. We can't put any of these things right and in a truly unjust world can only promise to do our best to warm yer hearts and lighten the burden you struggle to carry along life's hilly road.
How do we do this? By making you smile frequently, wince occasionally and almost always cranking up the volume in a frenzy of barely controlled excitement. Oh aye, we're really hot as well!!

Transmitting this one straight from the deepest bowels of the shipyards to your busted hearing aid. Pieced together amidst a horrendous headcold, this outer studio telegram celebrates hum, throb, pulse, tone and scorched earth heaviosty. Proper heavy mind. None of this loud guitar rock band shit. How boring is THAT in 2012?
I'm not taking a shit on guitars anyway. There is one in here somewhere, now I come to think about it.
But it's mostly the worst drug experience you ever had cross-pollinated with repeated false awakenings and sleep paralysis. And lemsip.
Play loud. In the dark. On headphones.
Safe.

Animal Hospital Monthly Check-up // 18.01.12
Welcome!
Ongoing transportation issues have restricted our movements so we're exploring the world of pirate radio for this month's show, transmitting from the international waters contained within Gabriel's living room.
This is our first foray into guerilla broadcasting, so please excuse any technical hitches or glitches. We shall do our best to tip the scales of your favour in our favour with our arguably aimful banter and a delightful selection of musical materials. (Feel free to get excited about the world premiere of "Animal Hospital Mastermind"...)

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 19.01.12
Another week, another character/record collection assassination.
You're bound to be sick of this shit by now.
But for those of you who view conversational grace, socially acceptable witticisms and the genuine pleasure taken from the presence of another as nothing more than a dimly lit, easily falsified memory, strap your dicks in.
Hair-melting vocal music from the Aka Pygmies, drugged and fucked drum machine abuse, serious men knocking out some seriously devotional reggae, post-Dead C misery blurt and some Japanese synths set to 'Pfft!'
9 out of 10 doctors said this show WILL get you girls/boys.

As we move closer to winter the girl with kaleidoscope eyes hosts this show with a cold. Fittingly the half hour 'Moon Mix' is inspired by the need to recover and recuperate, perfect for curling up and chilling out. The playlist plays host to some great new finds in Onra, Teebs, Rewind Back and Jessica Jalbert with a mixture of passing thoughts from The Rolling Stones, Tears for Fears and Buddy Holly. On a more sombre note, tributes are addressed to both Amy Whitehouse and Gil Scott Heron through 'Our Day Will Come' and 'Lady Day & John Coltrane'.

the end of a fairy tale
I am really sorry to inform that Guns Of Bristol won't be broadcasting this semester. The amount of workload in University doesn't make it possible to run a good quality radio show and 'Guns Of Bristol' should never go worse. Only better. That's why I decided to take a break and come back in a time that will allow me to dedicate as much heart and time to this project as both Guns Of Bristol and you, dear listeners, deserve.
It's been a wonderful adventure to show you all these amazing tunes. You've heard all my voice, trembling, hesitations and fuck ups, but also the laughter and fascination with music. After almost a year I am convinced Guns Of Bristol was worth all these sleepless nights, because I had a chance to share these aural sensations with those who appreciated it. Hopefully, some time in a broad future Guns Of Bristol will come back to broadcast. Meanwhile, in my attempts to push the domino block, I hope I wobbled at least some of them and made you interested in trip-hop. Good luck with new musical discoveries and thanks for listening.

It's 2012 and we're back on the airwaves for some more tunes inna Glasgow sound system stylee.
Fresh of the release of their second album, Forward Ever, we've got Mungo's Hi Fi in the studio for some soundclash business. Those who know about Mungo's will tell you that when it comes to sound system, dubplates, productions and parties they're seemingly unstoppable at moment, regularly touring to corners of the globe with their distinguished bass heavy, digital dub sound.
Expect nuff dubs and special versions from Mungo's & CB alike, as well as a review of Friday's sessions with Ruben da Silva and plenty coverage of all the tunes we've picked up over the festive period.
Remember, reggae is the music.

lucy @ code preview
As the head of Stroboscopic Artefacts LUCY rolls into CODE @ La Cheetah this weekend, we welcome resident NICK M into the studio for a mix.
Lucy: producer, DJ, founder of Stroboscopic Artefacts. That’s probably how you know him. But there’s also Luca Mortellaro, a published author, experimental sound designer, and the man behind the Lucy moniker. There’s no doubt that the two are linked, but it’s certainly the hidden facets of Luca Mortellaro that are responsible for the dynamic output of Lucy.
Lucy’s DJ sets are techno layered with deep dub and textured with lucid IDM. Never one to shy away from ripping into the peak time and equally in his element playing the ecstatic afterhours, elegance is the foundation of his approach. He manages to refuse the obvious and yet satisfies dancefloors’ appetites for the unexpected. A quick listen to his CLR podcast, Resident Advisor mix or the Modyfier process will attest to one thing: his elusive approach is too angular for genres and pigeon holes.

Hello all.
Thank you to everyone who tuned into the show and came to see us DJ in 2011, the love is much appreciated.
This is our first show of 2012, and we hope it will be another great year for us.
Hold tight for mixes and features from some seriously dope human beings but, for now, here's what we're loving right now.
It's good to be back.

back in the building...
It certainly felt good to be back in the studio this week! Due to unforseen circumstances we had to miss a few shows towards the end of last year but we're back now and not planning on going anywhere. The first show of 2012 was all about the names you need to be looking out for over the next twelve months and with the exception of this week's guest mix, every song on the show was from a Glasgow producer - we've got a good feeling about this year!
New music came from the likes of Ovr Kill, Mirrors and Dynamode, while Raksha, Konchis and Sega Bodega fought it out for our Local Hero award. We also had Pasty32 of Level Thirtytwo in the mix, laying down some super chilled Hip Hop for a Wednesday evening. Check out his show on Subcity here: http://www.subcity.org/shows/thirtytwo/

across the arts to tentrack heaven (starring bram)
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 13.01.12
With Producer Harry away on a top secret mission, Vile is forced to draft in two guest hosts: the mighty Bram Gieben brings news from the worlds of Coldwave and Witch House ("think minor chord electro," he suggests) and friend of the show Fielding Hope, ahead of his Cry Parrot celebration of 2012's birth.
Vile gives props to upcoming shows, chats to Michael Cox from Across The Arts and reveals his general ignorance: the ghost of Harry gives us the first "three tracks from tentracks" selection.
With Fielding also being enlisted on the secret Vile mission, it falls to Bram to keep Vile on Track: aside from his initial melancholy, Vile is cheered as he is schooled in electronic music. Sadly, he tries to keep up and show his cool by playing some Ghost Poet, Explosions in the Sky and pretending he liked electro twenty years ago.

Pint of unfulfilled potential turned into a hundred rancid sambuca scoops glugged away into the ancestrial disabuse of the malfunctioning lungs I inherited from centuries of hand loom weavers and shipyard foreman total body bust for the next week getting far too old for this twonked that stinky biffweasel til his nose turned red and wapped a kinky one up his shnozzpipe for later dinky pillock sweaty secretary general beehive buttfuck vibes.
Got some fresh meat for you nasty fuckers tonight. Triple threat Dekorder action from Daniel Padden, Ensemble Economique and Andrew Pekler. Plus two absolute headplate recalibrations from my boys at Exotic Pylon, The House In The Woods and Ronny Juzzle.
PLUS: I recently celebrated a birthday. This is the kind of thing that makes me fucking anxious. I have done nothing notable with my life. Not really. Another year closer to death. I did meet Sunderland legend Kevin Ball recently, mind. He's gone proper grey un'all. Shit one.
Anyway, the second half of the show comprises a mixtape of wanglepoops and pissmops from the often surprisingly crystalline bedroom morass of the mid 80's sub underground. This includes, but is in no way limited to, a hellishly young Andrew Chalk tossing off dark ambient PsycheDelia nothingness, heavily alcobused nutter-synth showtunes, hopelessly machninic data skronk from France and a peach from Anthony Braxtons most underrated (or overrated... it really depends which cunts you read)period. I tried not to include Jandek too, but you know how difficult that shit is for me.
Safe.

First show of 2012.
"Artists use frauds to make human beings seem more wonderful than they really are. Dancers show us human beings who move much more gracefully than human beings really move. Films and books and plays show us people talking much more entertainingly than people really talk, make paltry human enterprises seem important. Singers and musicians show us human beings making sounds far more lovely than human beings really make. Architects give us temples in which something marvelous is obviously going on. Actually, practically nothing is going on."
Returning with a brand new time slot of 5-6pm on Monday evenings.

from our hearts.....
No, not just the way it always is on She Said, this time we really mean it as we bring you some very special euro-guests in the form of Swedish noisy-popsters From Our Hearts. Hailing from Gothenburg and no doubt surfing the wave of ecstasy following their first ever Scottish gig in the 13th Note on 13 January, the Scandinavian threesome invade the studio with an impeccable selection of their own music and sounds closest to their souls.
So we're kinda expecting the likes of Suicide, Sonic Youth, Swans, Kylie Minoise, Dinosaur JR, Atomized, Jesus & Mary Chain, Shellac, Big Black, Mogwai, Kraftwerk.....and it's not often we're wrong!
Come to the Note on Friday....listen to the show on Saturday.....immerse yerself in the joy of living!!!!

review of 2011
Who says reggae is dead?! On the show this week - the first episode after the xmas/new year break - we present an action packed review of 2011 in the world of reggae. With tracks from all the biggest riddims and albums released last year, rest assured this is two hours of new reggae music you don't want to miss...
Posted at 15:44, 11th January 2012
who goes there?
Oh yeah that's right, it's Thalia.
This week as Eleanor's not here (she's off for the weekend to Northumberland) Thalia has been left to her own devices. While playing some old hip hop releases and a few new ones from the end of 2011 and looking over what we can expect to come in 2012, Thalia is also joined in the last half an hour of the show by Gareth from The Vile Arts, where we will be discussing who knows what, so listen in or listen back whenever you like!
Posted at 23:12, 10th January 2012
a new year, a new red room
We welcomed 2012 with our best show of the year so far.
We discussed all manner of subjects, including the restorative powers of coffee, weird gifts we have bought each other over the years, and our New Year's resolutions, as well as butlers, Clint Eastwood, and the perils of being an extra on a TV show.
We also discussed serial killers, prostitution and old age, we reminisced about our teenage years, debated on the relevance of radio, bemoaned the atrocity that is Spotify, and expressed our dislike of adverts on DVDs.
We also discussed Thom's new musical project, Left of Venus, as well as several upcoming gigs we are looking forward to, including Cry Parrot's New Year Festival at Nice 'n' Sleazy, Opaque at 13th Note, and Tate+Lyle, The Man From Ultra, Four Inches ov Foreskin, The DDN, and Scrambled Ovulation at 13th Note. We also discussed our friend Now Wakes the Sea and his debut album, Fluoxetine Morning.
We also reviewed films by Sergio Leone (For a Few Dollars More), and David Fincher (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo).

show 15: where's my plague of locusts?
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 05.01.12
The eschaton. Yawm ad-Din. The end of days.
2012 is supposed to be the start of the good shit, right? We've all seen John Cusack having a ball out-running gaping maws and getting the girl. It looks fucking brilliant! (No mention of how the smarmy cunt survived a post-apocalyptic Africa, though... That's the sequel we're all holding out for.)
The last era of genuine apocalyptic dread was probably the '80s. Fuck the millennium - only computer programmers and total wallys got worked up about that one. The '80s had Reagan, Thatcher and the constant threat of pre-emptive nuclear strikes. And Threads. Obviously. Good times.
It made total sense that dayglow, coke-fuelled singalongs were the soundtrack to just getting on with it. But scratch the surface, and some of the most inventive, forward-thinking music of anyone's lifetime was being made in the miserable safety of bunkers and basements the world over.
Blunt, proto-techno drum programming, post-industrial synth/effects abuse and insanely warped, pitch-black nuclear pop hooks - it was without doubt one of the most amazing periods in electronic music history. Suicide and Throbbing Gristle had a fuck-load to answer for.
So we've gone trawling through the irradiated, paranoid depths of the Awkward vaults (lead-sealed, obviously) to bring you a 60-minute mix of city-flattening, culture-erasing audio fallout. Most of this shit still sounds utterly fucking timeless, and makes a whole load of modern electronic music sound like a whimpering, self-induced almost-gasm.
That said, there's still a few cunts plumbing the fear and keeping it fresh, so we had to throw them in, too. No fucking revivalists, mind.
Time to wind up the old Doomsday Clock...

too late for garage puns.
Half hour garage mix (two Gs, one X, some inhibitions) followed by some topical 'bits' and a weary interruption of what the show could've been.
(note: our producer is on holiday this week, so any decrease in quality is reflective of her hedonistic lack of professionalism, rather than us being unable to press buttons, cue tracks or read poorly written jokes off a piece of paper.)

nosleep. + animal farm 6 hour subcity takeover
We just couldn't wait until Jan 2012, so along with our good friends over at the farm we decided that not only would we put on an extra show over the festive period, but that we would also make it a meaty 6 hour affair so we can showcase everything from deep spaced out dub right through to all things techno.
I will be co hosting the show with Animal Farm's delightful Darren quail, we will be joined by a couple of suprise guest dj s in the studio (alongside the full animal Farm + nosleep. roster) We will be reviewing what we have enjoyed in Glasgow over the last 12 months, and also looking ahead to what promises to be an exciting 2012 for both nosleep. and the Animal Farm fiddlers.
Dave Clarke also happens to be playing the subclub that night , and oh yeh it is also Mr J.B.D Carrol's birthday so, tune in for what promises to be a very intriguing spectacle

big t'ings a gwaan in 2012
Kicking off 2012 - the 10th anniversary year of Argonaut Sounds - at Blackfriars Basement on Friday 20th January, we're starting with a night of pure selection... No named guests, just boxes stacked full of our favourite reggae and dancehall records, which we've been itching to get ...a chance to spin through our own soundsystem for ages.
As always t'ings a run 11pm-3am, and its only a likkle £3 entry for a genuine sound system vibe.
We've got big plans for this year, with some cracking guests lined up, but we're really looking forward to launching this run of nights with a good old-fashioned dance in the original Argonaut Sounds stylee!
Also look forward to a special review of 2011 in our first show back on Subcity in 2012. Anyone who listened to the 2010 review last year (still up on listen back obviously) will know its not to be missed...

Don't forget that to win tickets to Fatherson at the Arches this sunday you can send in the best drawn impression of Ross Leighton. Whoever wins gets 2 free tickets and their drawing put up on Ross's wall.

Ultra lo-fi booze blues that summarizes nigh on two decades of complete and utter disappointment with the way his life has turned out. Non verbal sleep apnoea yelps mingle with gutter synth and heavily drugged guitar/internal mic sickness.

earthly matters x wavy graves present { soosh }
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ º~º º~º º~º º~º ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Earthly Matters and Wavy Graves will be co-hosting a special broadcast this week, and are delighted to present to you a live guest mix + interview from a highly talented, up and coming Glaswegian beat-making, dream-hop producer.
◊ Soosh ◊
.
After taking a year out from his part time occupation as a dentist, accompanied with a handful of his favorite musical instruments and equipment which includes the NI maschine sampler, a variety of hardware including synthesizers, and a tape recorder, Soroosh Khavari travelled to British Columbia, Canada to escape from the all too consuming distractions, and unabating nature of city life to discover his penchant, for creating heart felt, blissful, palpitating sultry beats and thus blossoming his fulfilling love for music, and capturing his desires and ideas into his first and so far finest pieces of production to date.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ º~º º~º º~º º~º ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Signed to FUSELab / Jumble records, and distributed by Alpha Pup records respectively, Soosh’s eponymously-titled, debut, “Soosh - EP,” generates a soft, enchanted, treacle-like, percolation of carefully tendered rhythms being entwined with a radiantly lit step-by-step steadiness plume of cozily luscious rattling percussion. With a layer of faintly spoken whispers elegantly echoing for a long lost loved one, whilst skimming meditatively across gentle wintry river streams, beckoning for a voice in return to call back. Soosh’s compositions are ornately brought together, as they tangibly wash into our intimately cocooned deepest emotions and personal feelings. It pleasantly takes care of us, as it comfortingly encourages ourselves to let go of our thoughts and sail away without a worry in the world, hibernating peacefully through to spring.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ º~º º~º º~º º~º ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With remixes for the likes of Shlohmo, Sina, and Lapalux under his belt, with the latter having provided a remix for, “Rainbow Hiccups,” on his debut EP. A slot alongside the likes of Lando Kal, Mau'Lin, Gang Colours, and Blondes at the highly esteemed, Streets Of Beige club nights in London back in June of 2011, and three EP's scheduled for release sometime in early 2012. The future is looking bright for Soosh as he is definitely destined to reach out to many folk from around the globe and celestial bodies from every planet across the cosmos's galaxies. It's that mesmerizing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ º~º º~º º~º º~º ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is a link to Soosh's soundcloud down below where you can listen to his debut EP, and various one off releases, which includes, "Farewell," and "Take My Hand," as well as his various remixes and his collaborations with Memotone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Furthermore, Soosh's, "Bramhall Waits," is included in this compilation which was curated by Error Broadcast head honcho, Sven Swift. Other contributions which can be found includes tracks by, Zeroh, Groundislava, Pixelord, Monolithium, Maguett, Option Command, and Nocow.

- motown madness -
For the last show of 2011, Funky Junk is show-casing a "greatest hits" selection of Motown chartbusters. For a wee while on Saturday we will be taking a break from playing 'that obscure stuff your gran likes' to hits that topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic from the early 60s onwards.
Expect belters from the likes of Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Marvin Gaye, The Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, The Temptation, The Four Tops and a good few more. Also, a run down of the past months events and what to expect 2012.
We may even slot in an alternative Christmas jingle at the end too, who knows.

It’s that time of year again! Exams are over (for most), the snow's falling (well its sleet, but let’s not be picky here) and the air is full with the sounds of the usual, tacky Christmas tunes! So as an antidote to all this I'll be bringing you a selection of some more unusual Christmas tunes to enjoy, tomorrow at 5pm!

christmas a come
For our last show of 2011 we present a wee xmas special... unlike last year, when we managed to survive 2 hours of xmas reggae without going mad, this year we'll spin just a few of our favourite festive reggae tracks, longside our usual selection of brand new riddims and classics.
Posted at 15:33, 14th December 2011
well, i can't wait for christmas...
it's that time of year again...where I get a wee red nose from the cold and warm myself up by listening to There Will Be Fireworks non-stop. Aye, this is pretty much what happens all year round but with more mince pies and Wham on the radio.
Tune in tomorrow from 12-2 to listen to some festive treats from Scottish bands as well as a cheeky wee session from a secret guest and interview with Miss Milk herself, Hannah Currie.
I am going to bring some mulled wine in a flask and some merry men.
Festive love from Foreign thoughts.

stefan blomeier / lotide / svetlana industries
Svetlana Industries
Firing their arrows from outside the walls, Svetlana Industries, founded in Belgrade by Toby and Andrea (aka Andrea 3000), became a bit of an anomaly. Built upon the bubbling community of artists emerging in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet states. Their enthusiasm to represent and amplify what was happening around them led to the inception of a label that wasn’t faceless, wasn’t centred in a specific location, nor limited to a specific style.
Svetlana’s extending roster is a different cut from some of their uber serious, uber masculine contemporaries - evident at their showcases and parties. The self-sufficient label keeps a steady flow, with a bunch a sweet records this year including BNJMN’s esoteric flavour on a house tip, Nightwave’s alluring combination of melody and clattering juke flex, and most recently 1000names compelling boogie.
Toby, who once worked as a music consultant for the British Council, talks about their recent relocation to London and unveils some plans for a new subsidiary label: Woetone.
Lotide
Hailing from Washington, this artist serves as an insight into the vibe of Svetlana’s new subsidiary label. After a little debate about the best length to make a mix, we settled on 20mins... he hit it exactly. Although, this dude has made 20mins feel like quite a journey - consider it an express service. One of the most curious mixes that have been sent this way, it takes in sample moments from ambient works, his own remixes and Otomo Yoshihide.
Stefan Blomeier
The cryptic synth-centric artist based somewhere between Denmark and Dundee makes some selections of 'inspirational tracks'. Expect a swash of early tape experiments, alt-synthpop and deep house.
Posted at 22:39, 13th December 2011
next stop 2012!
This will be the last Rumours of 2011!
Sadly Skandy can't make it as he's been buried under a mountain of revision notes, but Indra's in the studio joined by fellow Rumours resident Sultan, laying down the usual feast of beats and bass...

guest mix - tom dicicco (project squared/ism)
For our last show of this year we welcome Manchester's TOM DICICCO.
Tom is slowly but surely marking himself as someone to watch in 2012. Recent releases for Project Squared & Stockholm LTD has seen his excellent take of dub infected techno make more than a few heads turn this year. His mix skips effortlessly through some of the years biggest techno tracks.
Animal Farm residents will be on hand as always, although we are still in bits after Robert Hood's performance at the Sub Club last friday....We'll be going through some of our favourite tracks of the last year. An hour really isn't enough though.....
Thanks to all for tuning in this year! Remember our 7th Birthday celebrations on 28th December with ROLANDO then we kick off 2012 with bang with SANDWELL DISTRICT live (Regis & Function).
See you all in the new year!!
Quail, Lamb Turtle & Ronin

fnords studio takeover!
This week Caz, Sarah and Derek of zombie-garage-surf-punk band The Fnords take over the Subcity studio and produce an absolutely stonking bumper episode. With rare vinyl singles, punk, postpunk and loads of obscure grrrl-band gems, it's a SMLO not to be missed.

min-g in da mix.
This fortnight we have a first for you.
A guest mix from our good friend Michael Callaghan aka 'Min-G' Not only is this the first Roll 'N Square guest mix, this is also 'Min-G's first ever mix... and it's a belter.
He is fairly fresh on the scene but his entry in the 'Death By Stereo Remix Contest' sounds like someone who's been at it for years. A moombathon remix of Umphrey McGee's 'Deeper' that's sure to help you get your grind on.
And news just in, his collaboration with Click Refresh (Roll 'N Square's very own Chris Williams) 'Ain't Playin' has just been signed to Melonsound for their Miami WMC 2012 compilation.
Enjoy!!

the best of 2011
2011 has seen some truly amazing artists give us a much needed injection of fun.
The sheer breadth of variety is astonishing; from head-bursting smashers from Rustie to the most gorgeous, ambient house from Jamie xx, and good ol' fashioned dancefloor stompers from the likes of Mosca.
Some artists that we have played in the beginning of the year have now come to be super popular, which is amazing for us - to love someone new and see them blow up they way they do (nods to Jacques Greene and The Weeknd in particular here).
So, this is a very, very short selection of some of our favourites of 2011.
We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
See you in the New Year.

the last show of 2011
With the Christmas holidays coming up, Rosa & Floyd will be taking the opportunity on the last show of 2011 to look back at some of the years finer moments.
To kick the show off, Floyd will be tearing up the turntables with a live mix, mashing together our favourite tracks of the year, including productions from guests of Bangers & Mashup, plus a few gems from features like, "Year of the Week'.
The show won't be short in sharing love with said friend's of the show. Infact we'll be taking a bit of time to look back at some of our bests bits, but we've also put together a bit of a Christmas present, from us to you. Yes, lots of goodies so we'll also be presenting that to you.

johns lunds / yoyo oyoy
The micro-manifesto of art collective YOYO OYOY states that it’s “one expression in different forms... free of genres and artforms.” With a catalogue of productions from (what can reductively be described as) experimental musicians based in Denmark, the collective and its output represent an ambitious community of artists that aren’t as po-faced as their manifesto might suggest.
The absurd and chaotic combinations of YOYO OYOY see its identity shift from rock band to DJ team. Although, improvisation and collaboration are the main component of their regular festivals and countless shows (most notably in a continuous 24hour festival they held a few years ago), their expanding base of collaborators come from beyond the field of music, including those from the culinary world. In 2005 they collaborated with 8 chefs for a bespoke concert and menu, then in 2008 they had The Big Fry Up (a night punctuated by large platters of herring, meat and sprinkles). Their newly found performance and studio space Mayhem plays host to all manner of performance and recording projects.
This episode is an audio profile of one of the musicians and collaborators at YOYO OYOY: John Lunds. His music is often at odds with itself, insanely and conflictingly beautiful, exploring contemporary improvisation, taking in free jazz, noise and punk.

christmas special
Fraser has always played a few Christmas songs round about this time of year usually borrowed from his producer but today's show is dedicated to this winter festival.
Of course Soul has roots in Gospel so it's not unexpected to hear The Staple Singers and Who took the Merry out of Christmas.
Clarence Carter takes an old blues theme subtracts man and gives us Back Door Santa.
Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, The Temptations, The Miracles and The jackson Five all recorded Christmas albums (of varying quality) for Motown.
Stax did a couple of festive compilations as well.

footnote to howl
“Narrow minds devoid of imagination. Intolerance, theories cut off from reality, empty terminology, usurped ideals, inflexible systems. Those are the things that really frighten me. What I absolutely fear and loathe. Of course it’s important to know what’s right and what’s wrong. Individual errors in judgment can usually be corrected. As long as you have the courage to admit mistakes, things can be turned around. But intolerant, narrow minds with no imagination are like parasites that transform the host, change form, and continue to thrive. They’re a lost cause, and I don’t want anyone like that coming in here.”

the return of panda chat...
The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 07.12.11
"Tune in or Funk off" seems to be the mantra of this week's serving of The All Day Cheeky Breakfast. It's piping hot, and waiting for you - we'll be discussing whether Jeremy Clarkson is cheeky (like us) or just a complete bell end, as well as looking at the arrival of Edinburgh Zoo's new Pandas. We also discuss what the laws would be if the Cheeky Breakfast colonised the new "earth-like" planet discovered by astronomers this week.
Callum also takes a look at The National Theatre of Scotland's latest show, an adaptation of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". Featuring an interview with the director, Graham McLaren, clips from the show and a healthy dose of arts-student snobbery for good measure.
Of course, we still have your favorites - a chub-chub Teen Talk, what was described as "an all time classic" game of Defend the Indefensible, where Michael argues that Sarkozy should "Climb the mountain of Merkell", Michael's Hidden Gems and the boys' ideas for a new Reality show in "Pitch it".
Keep it locked to our Facebook Page for details of our upcoming night of music and comedy, "Building Blocs" on the 19th of December at Bloc. Listen out during the show for an exclusive Christmas track from one of our acts, Laurie Cameron.
Most importantly, however, keep it cheeky during this stressful time of year, and make sure you join us next time for the Cheeky Christmas Cracker!

We previewed some upcoming gigs, including Adam Stafford, theapplesofenergy, Now Wakes the Sea, and Lovers Turn To Monsters at 13th Note, theapplesofenergy album launch at The Old Hairdressers, Project Ability's fundraiser at Mono, and many more!
We also reviewed several films, including An American in Paris, Sunrise: A Story of Two Humans, La Grande Illusion, and The Curse of the Jade Scorpion.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 02.12.11
Vile is back in the studio, while Producer Harry is elbowed aside to make room for live music from Chris TT and Franz Nicolay. There's a location chat with artists involved in the CCA's current mini-festival of writing around visual art (thanks to 2HB), a new release from Street Debelle, and Vile's fascination with the difference between studio and live recording.
Both TT and Nicolay are far more interesting than Vile, happily chatting about troubadours and the aesthetics of touring: they were even good enough to play live in the studio, giving Vile that warm rosy glow he gets when he realises that he has accidentally discovered something exciting.

killer kitsch
Theez Boyz R Athletes // 03.12.11
This show features an exclusive guest mix by none other than Glasgow's own Killer Kitsch.
Here's the science bit:
'Killer Kitsch was launched in February 2005 at The Buff Club in Glasgow. With very few other midweek nights offering anything other than the standard chart & r'n'b fare we took it upon ourselves to try and change it. Now 6 years later Killer Kitsch is still standing tall and is now seen as an institution within Glasgow.
Over the 6 years we have booked guests such as Simian Mobile Disco, King Roc, Optimo, The Glimmers, Cass & Mangan, Audiojack, Robot Needs Oil, Freeform Five, Tramp DJ’s, Joe Hot Chip, Shir Khan, Druzzi (The Rapture), Diskjokke, Kris Menace, Grum, Nadastrom. Yolanda Be Cool, Tom Staar, Reset!, Wafa, Late of The Pier, Drop The Lime, Hushpuppy, Nom De Strip, Neoteric, Clouds, Dem Slackers.
In 2009 we then too the party through the Edinburgh's best club The Cabaret Voltaire. Since then we have made Sunday's 'slightly' more bearable for people in our nations capital with our attempt at trying to be eclectic but cohesive.'
Enjoy!

So the guests have been cast aside with carefree if not gay abandon. The studio lights have been softened, candlelight flickers suggestively whilst burning incense meanders causing occasional spluttering into the studio mics.
What is this nonsense? What delights will unfold in tonight’s show as Derek and Allan offering a comforting yet splendidly suggestive hand of support in what would otherwise be yer dampest hour? Well we're saying nothing so you'll have to damn well listen to find out!

We launched Soulful Allsorts on the the road last night at Blackfriars and thanks to everyone who came down. Particularly Jerome who travelled from Amsterdam. We had a good time time, the sound system was excellent and our Guest Alan McKenzie came straight from a night at The Gilmerton Soul Club in Edinburgh stood behind our decks and played ninety minutes of dance active soul and R&B.
I don't know if Fraser has re packed his record box from last night but I'm sure there will be a top class selection of discs on today's show.

same sex marriage in scotland and beyond
Dialectic Society Lectures // 02.12.11
As the consultation over same-sex marriages becoming legal in Scotland continues, questions continue to arise over how valuable the success of this motion would be for LGBT rights, and what impact it would have on general attitudes towards homosexuality.
In a talk hosted by the GU Dialectic Society and recorded by Subcity, Kelly Kollman, a lecturer in the University of Glasgow Politics department, discusses how the change in government legislation allowing same sex marriages would affect the lives of LGBT couples as well as the wider community. Issues such as polygamy, the attitudes of religious communities and the impact of the AIDS epidemic are also discussed in relation to these changes.

Excess consumption waste bin contraband distinction info dump flaccid trad Marxist cocktease attend to the right now ring out yer towel blast bad loan bollocks to bits consume/produce night shift data shift huff huff what kind of Keith Joseph wet dream is this?
"I don’t believe another world is possible, because I know that all things superseded stick around and stink as unwelcome reminders of that we have to deal with, so another world is necessary but only built from the gutted hull of this one"
"Cyberpunk was the dream image of neo-liberalism par excellence, albeit one that encoded within it enough short-circuits to wake itself again and again."
"for what is steam punk if not a romanticized do-over, a setting of the clock back, a time of craftsmanship and real (fetishized) objects, remaking the world, not in the mode of the ceaseless slow sprawl of cheap oil but in the Victorian self-aware world making spirit?"
"What I propose in the place of steampunk, that weak handmaiden of Obama capitalism, is what I call salvagepunk: the post-apocalyptic vision of a kaputt world, strewn with both the dream residues and the real junk of the world that was, and shot through with the hard work of salvaging, repurposing, détourning, scrapping. "
Tonight I present a mix inspired by Evan Calder William's concept of Salvagepunk, expanded and expounded upon at length in his book "Combined And Uneven Apocalypse" and his essential blog Socialism and/or Barbarism.
Who the fuck says I never bring you anything highbrow? Tunes from Elklink, Diamond Catalog, Moon Pool And Dead Band, Jessica Rylan, The Lost Domain, Patrice And Friends, Chris Watsn, Frozen Border and more. I might drop a Current 93 cover I finished t'other day in somewhere too. Easy now.

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 01.12.11
Advent calendars are a bit of a luxury this year, eh? May as well just go buy an Animal Bar (how come they're just calling them Dairy Milks these days?) and pace yourself for 25 miserable days until you're left with nothing but a soggy wrapper and the icy reminder that your parents always bought your presents and they simply don't know you any more. Hence the shit socks and Top Gear annual. Again.
Or you could peel back the labial doors of your favourite Awkward Sons instead. We won't reward you with the moulded cocoa trinkets of a perenially exploited people, but a 60-minute brain gape should do the trick. Plus you don't even need to write to us once a year to get your frosty disappointment fix. Great, eh?
Wild Turkish psych, conversational English industrial and percussive Aussie minge abuse.
You might not get what you want, but you'll sure as fuck get what you need.

the homeland of elves
Anyone who bothered at least once to search for some great music from somewhere apart from English speaking UK and US certainly knows that the northern country of Sweden is a goldmine of good music. Anything from metal to pop can be found there. But Guns Of Bristol obviously are going to focus on chillout. And find out how the skandinavian mythology of elves, closeness to the nature, relaxed and casual lifestyles and 'fika's affect the creativity of people from the Land of the Midnight Sun.

We also reviewed films by Sergio Corbucci (Django), Marcel Carné (Les Enfants du Paradis), Bruce Robinson (The Rum Diary), and more.

billa ballin'
On this week's episode of Thirty-two we're excited to bring you a very special guest mix from Billa Qause, a beat maker/graphic designer/MC and all round creative boss all the way from Athens, Greece.
We first heard Billa on Mark Farina's Mushroom Jazz compilation with a track called All Night, and since then everything else we've encountered by him has been straight up dope. His album Jazzova was one of our favourite releases of last year, and it's still keeping it's solid place in our most played lists.
As well as his solo project, Billa is also a part of Pad Trio, a collaboration with J. Melik and Kill Emil that's determined to bring the old school hip hop flavours back to the scene with a whole lot of MPC button bashing. If you haven't caught their live stuff yet we suggest you go check it out.
With recent bombs dropping on Riddim Fruit, Cast-a-Blast, and his own label Beat Quick, you can be sure that Billa's mix today is nothing short of head noddin'.

v.c. / co la
V.C.
A deft capacity for producing music that combines the sexual and robotic, V.C.’s uncluttered electro flex is closest to some originators of the skweee sound namely Pavan and Mesak. Fully formed and powerful like Heinrich Mueller remodels, sometimes sparing and cinematic, with a keen understanding of how to work a R&B bassline. Helsinki resident V.C. is no imitator. As a solo artist and 1/4 of the supergroup Yöt, he has created his own style that’s executed with economy, taking on dub and elements of non-European music tropes along the way.
Although he has releases on nearly every skweee label going (Flogsta Danshall/Harmönia/Mässy/Dødpop/Disques Mazout), as Sonic Router affirmed in a recent interview, his productions are ‘a testament to the versatility within the genre.’ This productive year for V.C. has included releases on Lo Fi Funk, Mässy and a forthcoming LP from Yöt. His recording sessions, mixed in a remote studio during the Finnish snowstorms of 2011, were finally released on the Brighton based label Donky Pitch - commanding their first foray into Scandinavian electro funk. Creating one of the most powerful EPs this year.
This episode features an interview with the producer and some unreleased tracks from the new Yöt LP and V.C.’s The Good Sweat EP.
Co La
Emerging this year with a series of sample based tapes that don’t fall into the bracket of mixtape, or 90s c+p, Co La has created a series of tapes and records that correspond with what he describes as “a new logic”. Privileging the Plunderphonic tradition; setting him apart from most contemporary electronic music producers.
The tapes and records create something that nods to Jamaican Rocksteady and 50′s American Pop re-purposing it into fresh, smart, electronic music. With smart arrangements and shifting sample moments, the differing moods have an immediacy, a fast-track immersing quality that allude to something recognisable yet transient. Other tracks are composed more rhythmically, their concise funk and repetition taking something from the musical tradition of the city he is based: Baltimore.
His latest record, Daydream Repeater, is described by NNA Tapes as “an attitude adjustment in the era of austerity,” its motivations somewhat engaging with the discourse and language of the moment. The Co La live shows explore this subversion more explictly; this subversion of a luxury lifestyle ideal.
Matthew Papich (the dude behind Co La) talks about his music and performances, as well as the changes and constants in Baltimore, Buñuel, drinking champagne and squashing peaches.

ladyrock and electroclash
This week we play a bunch of new stuff, and a bunch of old stuff. Brand new releases from Berliner's Shirley Holmes and Brazillians Ampex, are followed by some poorly judged christmas music segueing seamlessly into an extended 00's Electroclash nostaligia trip, sparked off by the brand new track from Scream Club and Electrosexual, featuring Sue Denim of Robots in Disguise. Funtimes.

sabrina chap live session
We are pleased to announce that the Suck My Left One live session with neo-vaudvillian and purveyer of radical ragtime Sabrina Chap is now available to listen any time. Playing songs from her new album "We Are The Parade", Sabrina also gives us a piece of her mind, and we also, in inimitable SMLO style, manage to shoehorn in some feminist punk from No Fit State and Witches' Revenge.

your picture
If patterns could be emotions and thoughts then this episode sees a kaleidoscopic fusion of longing, reminiscing and reflection to an upbeat soundtrack of new discoveries and forgotten favourites. An overriding element of escapism into memory, the past, and the idea of holding onto someone and something creates a cryptic message which only you can decide for. The dots ('Bedroom eyes' 'Dry The Rain' 'Remember Me' 'Take it as it Comes' etc.) are laid out and ready to be joined together. Make your own picture. Only time will show the wiser, love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes xx

The Saturday Shakedown // 26.11.11
The Liminanas are one of our favourite new groups. From, Perpignan France they have had singles on Hozac, Trouble in Mind and SDZ, and a self titled LP, 2010, on Trouble in Mind records. For this show, Lionel Liminana picked a number of his most admired numbers for us to play and it's really great!

raksha + ray in the house (3 hour special)
Tonight we're joined by our good friend Raksha from Estonia!, He reps the Glasgow division of Deadly Rhythm (one of our favourite club nights) which has brought Alex Nut, Martyn, Braiden, Samiyam, Krystal Klear and many more to Chambre69 over the past year. A top selector and producer himself, keep your eye on Raksha as we expect big things from him very soon. Check his beats here http://soundcloud.com/rakshadubs
Also joining us is our friend Ray from the east side! You may know him from such things as the skinny club listings, the skinny student guide and now a recent recruit of The Scotsman! We've found Ray to be a fine selector of the house and techno variety and tends to keep his vinyl very clean. Deckard and him go B2B 100% Vinyl
Hanlo will be playing a couple of exclusive tracks off the forthcoming FREE Duncan Powell album - 'Franked'. After the death of Amy Winehouse Duncan rediscovered his love for her album 'Frank' and decided to remix the whole thing. Inbetween that all strains of UKG.

This week's episode is a cold, dark, detached thing, with early material from Jesu, and Shellac, later material from Big Black and some classic Botch as the recommended record. Expect drum machines, workman-like rhythms and grating guitars. All that being said, I think you'll find here's a wee heart beating at the centre of all this. Delicious.

This week Eleanor and Thalia delve into the somewhat neglected scene of Canadian hip hop. Inspired by our recent love affair with Shad and the news that some of our far away friends on the other side of the Atlantic have experienced their first snow, we dig up the best from the Northern land from the 80s right on up to now, and serve with a good old dose of chat.

Episode 7: A NEW HOPE It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire’s sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy….
Alternatively, we're just going to play some music, so why not tune in for some hip hop and other electronic goodness.

The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 23.11.11
Sing a hymn to the high heavens, sacrifice a packet of Bacon Fries over the alter, and stuff your pockets full of sausages once more, because The All Day Cheeky Breakfast is back in the studio!
Join the boys as they return in a blaze of glory, loosen up their rusty joints, and fill your face with more cheek than wolf whistling monkeys in zoot suits.
You will be taken on a 2 hour tour de force as we catch up with what Kev, Callum, and Michael have been up to over the summer, and some regular items are brought back. Varty's condition is reported upon, Big Gay Tom attempts to kill the mood LIVE on air, and some more (seemingly) indefensible statements are defended.
Also, some new sections are brought to the plate, involving some games that have the lads hunting for treasure in the Subcity buildings, and Kev and Michael compete for Callum's confession in Pitch It.
You have no excuse. Tune in, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AGES GET YOUR CHEEK ON.
Over and out, Bacon Fries.

Legend is a word that gets thrown around quite a lot when it comes to music, but it's one that we're happy to use to describe the amazing AraabMUZIK. If you are a fan of early-mid 2000s U.S. hip hop and R&B, then you have most certainly heard his work. AraabMUZIK has produced hits for Busta Rhymes, Dipset, Fabolous and Cam'ron, and a quick scan of YouTube proves that he is an absolute monster on the MPC.
AraabMUZIK is playing a live show at The Glasgow School of Art on December 2nd.
It's an early show, as the union venue shuts at 12 due to a lack of a late license, but that won't hamper the atmosphere. If you are a fan of live electronic music, there's no reason to miss this live set. Whilst most hip hop producers garner a wealth of samples from soul, jazz and funk, AraabMUZIK takes a heavier inspiration from more recent electronic styles, making him not just your average hip hop producer.
We strongly recommend you check him out at his December 2nd show. See you there.

Also, DJ Mag has announced the nominations for their Best of British 2011 poll.
If you love what is happening in Scotland, and the UK overall, we recommend you go and vote for your favourites. Glasgow is being strongly represented in the nominations, with Numbers, Rubadub, Hudson Mohawke, Rustie and The Sub Club up for awards. So, go show some love.

michael forshaw guest mix
This week we have a guest mix from Michael Forshaw, ahead of his live set at Banjax on Friday 25th November at La Cheetah, alongside Ben Pest (Live). The mix features recent and forthcoming tracks of his.
MICHAEL FORSHAW - LIVE
Michael quotes his biggest influences as being Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, Visage, Human League, Si Begg, DJ Funk and all Chicago Shit and early electro...
He started DJing in clubs in and around blackpool (his home town) in 1988 before moving to cardiff and playing out regularly around that area for the next 4 years.
Michael moved back to Blackpool in 1995, bought a sampler, drum machine, a couple of synths and got writing. After a chance meeting with Dean Thatcher and Richard Thair from The Aloof and Red Snapper, they encouraged him to send them his tracks and they released two singles for him on their Flaw label in 1995. In 1996 Michael started his own record label with a mate called My Breathing (the name taken from a favourite Gary Numan track) and he released 5 records between 1996 and 1999 before starting the new label, Chan`n`Mikes.
He has also had releases on other UK and European labels such as Flaw, Red Seal, Mental Industries, Penalty, Magic Trax, Core, Automatic, Miditonal and Noodles.
Most recently he has been on fire, with his releases on Coin Operated and Banjax Crew member Dave Shades's Horror Boogie Records.
Since 1997 he has been DJing and playing live at venues in Germany, Belgium, Holland and Switzerland. He is also one half of The Flying Lurinskys, with Dan Monox.
His insane live sets of fucked up techno, electro, rave and booty are guaranteed to turn any club into a sweatbox of raw energy.
BEN PEST - LIVE
Highly talented musician Ben Pest is perhaps best known as a member of brilliant electronic funk band PEST (Ninja Tune), but in recent years has blessed us with his unique take on techno, acid, house and breaks. Ignoring current fads or trends, he has a distinctive and original sound. His punchy drums, twisted acid, chopped vocals and huge bass whip dancefloors into a frenzy. With substantial appearances at Uglyfunk, BLOC Weekend and Glade Festival, Ben is one of the most exciting producers around and his releases on Victim, Bonus Round and his own label Panic Bridge come highly recommended. He has a forthcoming EP on Horror Boogie Records so watch this space.
Ben is also one half of improvised, jacking noise live act The Black E with the legendary Cristian Vogel.

gobbledygook
This episode is dedicated to those song which simply make no sense. Some of these words have an underlying meaning, some are thrown into some kind of random assortment, and some... well... they just don't qualify as lyrics at all.
Moving from psychedelic to rock, and onward through to house and techno, this is an ode to apparent senselessness.

Yes indeed, She Said is delighted to welcome back unique and compelling contemporary folk musician Alasdair Roberts for tonight's show where amongst other things he's promised..."tracks from Alan Lomax's fifties Scottish field recordings including an appearance from Annie Lennox's dad, some Gaelic bird song imitations and an ancient Gaelic ballad about the exploits of King Arthur, a bagpipe tune played on fiddle by the poet Norman MacCaig....!!" Oh, did we mention Alasdair will also be performing live in the studio during the show?

show 12: utilitarian sex test
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 17.11.11
Even before the internet made you into a lazy listener (it did - admit it), you could usually tell whether an album was going to rip your balls out after a good 30 seconds or so. At least by the end of the first track. Hard feeling to beat, that one - a classic instant reward. Where did they piss off to, eh?
So it's album openers only tonight - 60 minutes of teasing you with the tip while keeping the bulk slyly out of reach, all the time playing with your giddy sense of nostalgia for a time when albums were a sit-down-and-shit affair.
Some of the greatest first tracks in recorded history on this one - everything from songs about your poop-chute through to two cunts on the horse recording what most folks refer to as 'their joke album'. Grimmest joke going.
And if you don't like arses and smack, we've got some grind.
Dicks out!

Who says I never play any pop music? OK, so I'm being a bit disingenuous... Tangles isn't pop music like yer Mam used to jive to. It's an aquatic exploratory drift through a half remembered, pre sleep capturing of something fucking sublime. There is far too much cynicism (most of it emanating from cunts like me) in the world these days. Tangles music makes me want to be so much less of a bastard, and, really, that's what we should all be aiming for.
Sure, it IS pretty stuff... I mean, this shit has a transitory beauty, some heavenly line of flight that soars through eyes-rolled-into-the-back-of-your-skull pedal pummeled bliss rock... but that's to miss the point entirely... it swirls, it trickles, bobs up and down in crystalline drip drip drips til it cakes your eyes with snowflakes an everything gets a bit kaleidoscopic... if half of those hypno/nugaze/whatever fruits meant it as much as Tangles did then we would all have saved A LOT of our precious time over the last few years.
So tonight the whole show is a big fat sexy Tangles takeover. Ricky will be picking some tunes that are currently getting him all hot under the collar then he's gonna play live.
Don't say I never treat you right.

red room dream
On this week's episode of The Red Room, we reviewed the incredible Acid Mothers Temple and the Melting Paraiso U.F.O. gig at Nice 'n' Sleazy, as well as films by Andrea Arnold (Wuthering Heights), Wojciech Has (The Hourglass Sanatorium), and Alfred Hitchcock (Shadow of a Doubt). We also discussed our band, Redwings, and our recent inclusion in Radar Scotsman's Best of the Rest annual list.
In other news, we also discussed our rediscovery and love of coffee (black as midnight on a moonless night, with three spoonfuls of granulated happiness), we reminisced about our audio experimentation as children, and we debated on public transport etiquette. We did not reach a consensus.

night of the red room
On this week's episode of The Red Room, we reviewed The Seventeenth Century's recent gig at 13th Note, we discussed what we did for World Vegan Day (including consuming vast quantities of cake and punch at Mono), as well as reviewing several Hitchcock films, including Stage Fright and The Man Who Knew Too Much.
In other news, we discussed our recent trip to Edinburgh to participate in a ghost walk, the journalistic integrity of gossip magazines, and rapidly approaching winter and the ensuing bitter cold. Bitter!

overture from the red room
On this week's episode of The Red Room, we reviewed several gigs, including Patrick-Campbell-Lyons at Mono, the Cave ov Lights at 13th Note, as well as our first visit to the opera, to see Gioacchino Rossini's The Barber of Seville. On the subject of films, we discussed Tim Burton's Batman, Robert Zemeckis' Back to the Future, and Stephen Frears' High Fidelity.
In other news, we discussed the joys of taking care of a puppy, the sorrows of overstuffed burritos, as well as debating on just why the clock changes during winter.

the red room is mightier than the sword
On this week's episode of The Red Room, we discussed our recent night at The Flying Duck (including reviews of sets by Redwings, The Radiation Line, and Noma). We also discussed Japanese band Envy's recent gig at Stereo, as well as reviewing Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris.
In other news, Jenny had a go at hosting the first half hour of the show herself, we ranted about the judgemental attitude of the Wii Fit, we discussed our passion for making cakes (banana cake and coconut cake, respectively), and who would be on our "list".
Posted at 14:12, 17th November 2011
hello, hello...
I am getting quite into the 2 guests per show thing. Today we had the lovely Whigs and Rakes and the ever handsome Ryan Joseph Burns in the studio to sing to us.
I also had part-time co host David Weaver, of Detour and Fantastic Man fame bringing me in some songs and some epileptic fits.

the drowned world
Tracks from the likes of Moondog to Edith Progue and from Pure X to Heathered Pearls and L'Orchestre Kanaga de Mopti. Digging through our illegitimately obtained iTunes library for tracks which we would not usually play to bring to you two hours of 100% pure, non-diluted audio sensoriums.
Something a little different from usual.

Unfortunately due to reasons beyond our control there will be no show tonight- apologies. You can always listen again to one of the previous episodes via Subcity's listen again feature and we should be back next week with a big, bouncy guest mix from Pasty32.
In the meantime you can always enter our competition to win tickets for How's Your Party? Present Benga at the Sub Club next Friday (just a suggestion): http://www.synthglasgow.com/blog/196/56/How-s-Your-Party-Present-Benga-Win-Tickets.html

For the first time this season we'll be locking the doors to the Subcity studio and throwing down some of the tracks that we've been feeling recently, it's been a long time coming but we're up to the challenge.
We're excited to have the two hour show to ourselves, expect fresh vibes and genre jumping, from house and techno to electro funk and everything else in between.
You know the script.
Posted at 15:21, 15th November 2011
newest jams for cold days
First off, our apologies for the show being 45 minutes this week instead of an hour - we had technical difficulties that held us up. We'll be back to an hour like normal next time.
This week Jamie was riding solo without Lauren, but what was lost in talk was definitely gained in good music - there's a little bit of everything in this one here. We're listening to Drake's sophomore effort 'Take Care' and getting a feel of it, and we're loving the Jamie xx/Gil Scott Heron sample.
We've also got a track from the B. Bravo release, which is out on the brand new Earnest Endeavours label of London. Already a respected and event promotions group otherwise known as Patchwork Pirates and Thugs & Hugs, they represent a tight knit creative family from New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, and even brought the incredible Dante's Fried Chicken to our shores.
We wish them every success in the new label.
Hold tight for more exclusive mixes coming your way.
Thanks for listening,
CD

the prauns of the situation
With Jamie away on parent/teacher duties, Gary Nasa fills in as a substitute of sorts on show-manning duties opting to go through the trawl through the not-listened-to-nearly-enough vinyl route rather than tie the whole thing together with some sort of vague concept. Expect some Forced Nostalgia, some Kosmiche derived Synth nonsense, a spot of Skwee and a dollop of old Mississippi Blues for your pleasure....

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 12.11.11
This week's (late night) broadcast includes my first ever use of a split 7" on Songs for Singles (coming from Tomutonttu and Oneohtrix Point Never), three short songs from the highly recommended debut record by Wire, and more stellar stuff from the Music Ruins Lives label. Genre-wise, then, I suppose it's a mix of sludge, post-punk, avant-drone and indie-pop for the forever alone. Featuring new/recent material by Girls and Atlas Sound. Parallax could be Bradford Cox's strongest record to date under the Atlas Sound moniker - what do you think?

asleep on the deck
Recorded on Halloween, Nap on the Bow, looks to the pagan festival in search of spooky, bouncy and synthy delights. Im not talking your traditional pumpkin bumpkin nonsense or cheap thrill scares, its the kind of playlist that lends to the unknown, mysterious, possessive and obsessive. From Joy Division to White Noise there is an eerie atmosphere. A special 'Trick of Treat' mix is "brewed up" which appeals to the disturbed and takes from the disturbing. Ghosts and ghouls will not be found on this episode. Love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes xx

a heart felt smile
In this episode we explore love.
Love of the child,of a mother, a neighbor or simply big love!
We have spoken word from wonderful artists such as Charles Spearin, Jared Haris and Deepak Chopra, Reza Farmand and Robert Creeley.
As well as some blissful tune from the likes of Googoosh, Bendaly Family,Gil Scott Heron and Ali Farka Toure.
So kiss some tell them that you love them and enjoy the show!

guest dj - tim narloch
This weeks show will feature a special guest mix from Tim Narloch.
Tim is one of the most talented producers I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, over the years he has made everything from breakcore to tech house using many different aliases and each project he does hits the same high standard of production. Expect an eclectic mix of all things electronic.
I will also be playing through some brand new grime from the likes of Fuda Guy, Rapid, Wiley, Tinchy Stryder, Marga, Nico Lindsay, Doller and Manga.
You can check out some of Tim Narloch's music on his Soundcloud page here.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 11.11.11
..as long as you like Optimo, Theatre Cryptic and film about dance. Vile gets on the blower to a man about a film about a man thinking about a Man: a couple of musicians improvise their way through Vile's ignorance. The Organs of Love, latest signing to Optimo's label tolerate a series of stupid puns from the host, and even STaG make a visit to talk about the toilets in The Flying Duck.
Actually, it's Vile who does that. STaG talk about their festival of short plays. Other guests who have sworn never to come back include Josh Armstrong, fresh from success at the Tron with The Little Match Girl Passion and Meryl from cool new venue The Berekeley Suite.
Look out for the intimate moment between Vile and Producer Harry.

After extensive contract negotiations, empty promises of a rider comprising tonic wine and poppers and a whole range of delightful sexual favours from Crawford (at a time and place chosen by Allan) She Said is delighted to present Glasgow punk/hardcore legends Clocked Out, woop!!
Following an exclusive live set recorded 2 weeks ago before a charmed audience, band members are being rested in a luxury health spa before being chauffeured to the studio for 2 hours of musically debauched self-abuse and sordid chatter.

Home in time for a massive teary wank and that. Hell.
It's been a tough week. I've barely slept a wink and it has nothing whatsoever to do with anything even approaching having a good time. I nearly got caught shoplifting again today. And I was sick in broad daylight outside Schuh in town. Seconds later I was that fucking close to being shat on by a pigeon that I can only interpret his last minute swerve to my left as being a pitiful gesture.
Pitied by a fucking pigeon.
You know what makes me feel mildly less agitated on days like this? Tape hiss. Lovely warm reverby tape hiss that you can climb inside and lose yourself in. I recently picked up a load of tapes I'd variously traded, bought, stole, swapped or inherited when I was back home recently, so I've slung you together a mixtape made of tapes. McLuhancy.
Liminal tracing paper noise static, ebullient afrocentricity, staggered sufi verses, PCP huffing psyche howls, squalid high rise minimal synth splats etc.
PLUS.
To celebrate the brand new Hand Loom Lament release from your total fantasy dream girl drone space synthesizer queen Emma Stirner, I've got an exclusive live set recorded in whichever room of her flat she doesn't use for storing her pathologically bagged 'n' backed collection of Weimar period erotic picture books and discarded dueling pistols.

telepathic desert
“Well, we’re not really in disguise, it’s just more or less given us our own territory, it’s more about being isolated to where you can go about your own daily business or whatnot and not really be involved, like an isolated community you know and it‘s more peaceful. If you look at some of the other documentaries about undersea life or whatever it just looks so peaceful down there, beautiful, no sunlight, total darkness, but then again how do you really know that, it could be, there’s a lot of area’s we haven’t discovered yet.”

show 11: two hard, one soft, one goat
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 10.11.11
So these dark evening are a bit grim, eh?
Whatever. I fucking love them - it's like being an extra in a film about Norweigan suicide rates every time you leave the house. Which rules.
It's also a great excuse to dig out the mankiest, mouldiest, most po-faced records you've got. You know, the ones you're ashamed to play to your girlfriend. The ones that add a bit of teenage in-ear atmopshere when you're popping over to Sainsbury's to get the stir-in sauce that you could just as easily make yourself.
So with that in mind, I thought I'd put together a show for all the Subcity goat-fiddlers and virgin-burners who see the coldest season as an excuse to listen to the recorded output of convicted murders all day. (And if that recorded output stretches beyond a demo and a split 7", those guys have fucking sold out.)
No female vocalists. No ballads. No benders.
And definitely nothing your mum would like. Unless she's cool as fuck.
*Note - there's a wee burst of silence (5 seconds-ish) about half way through the show - apologies! I made a boo-boo. Normal service resumes pretty quick-sharp, though.*
Posted at 19:22, 10th November 2011
remember.......
After the recent Compilation and Halloween specials, Build + Destroy return with just a normal show. Nothing too exciting about it, or is there? There will be some fantastic Autumnal music from Samoyed, some great remixes from the likes of Caribou, Illum Sphere and Actress and also plenty of other excellent music.
Don't forget you can always like us on Facebook to keep up to date with what is happening with the show.

don't sleep...
So as we hurtle towards Christmas the nights are getting longer and our show on Subcity is getting darker. For the first half of tonight's episode we went deep into the mix with some of our favourite House & Techno doing the rounds at the moment, featuring the likes of Slam, Rob Etherson & Eats Everything. Fortywinks provided this week's Tea Time Rave Off with some dangerous grooves to get you moving into the weekend, plus Tim Narloch, Domsko & Bass City Rollaz fought it out for our Local Hero Award. Trust us, this week it was TIGHT.

After a hectic two months, this weeks show is all about looking forward. Shaun and Sam take time to run through their favourite new and forthcoming releases picked up in the last few weeks. Selections include forthcoming material from Goldffinch, HaHaHa & Raksha, Darling Farah & DJ Akeera as welll as new songs from Dam-Funk, ANGO, Luke Vibert, Africa HiTech and tracks taken from recent PlanetMu, Factory Records and Rush Hour compilations.
The first details of our next party will also be revealed

a too-lengthy-to-type-out-the-premise special!!
Today's playlist is based around unearthing old favourites from the past decade or so. Age and popular opinion might not have been kind to them so far, but you'd be surprised how quick and easy it'll be for your ears to welcome back the Thermals like an old, whiny voiced friend.
Elsewhere: A Youtube Joke™ is attempted and then coyly abandoned live on air. Sound effects don't go according to plan. Anna is bullied on a 15 second time delay.

This week's edition of The Red Room consisted of a review of our exhibition at The Rio Café, Exploding Plastic Glasgow (also featuring the music of theapplesofenergy, Now Wakes the Sea and Laura and Thom), as well as discussions of upcoming gigs, including The Seventeenth Century at 13th Note, Cave ov Lights, also at 13th Note, and Inni at the Oran Mor.
We also spent portions of the show discussing our favourite kinds of dogs, bathroom etiquette and its effect on social interactions, as well as debating on what the superior meal was, aubergine and mushroom burritos or hummus wraps?

ango exclusive mini-mix
Continuing our series in exclusive mini-mixes from our favourite producers and DJs, as well as new talent close to our hearts and ears, todays show brings you a very special mix from the one and only ANGO. As one half of the Jacques Greene touring live show, a brilliant house and R&B producer, and one of our favourite Montreal party-starters, ANGO really does brings that lil' something special. We're not quite sure what it is yet, but our mutual love of The-Dream probably has something to do with it.
This exclusive mix of his, made just for us, is a wonderful showcase of his DJ talents as well as his impeccable taste in modern electronic music. Check it out and if you like what you hear, please do buy his brand new release.
It's out on Scotlands own LuckyMe, and it's called Another City Now. Check it here >>>>

This week's guest mix is provided by another up and coming producer, hailing from Sweden, BLEAK

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 05.11.11
This show was broadcast on Bonfire Night which literally translates from the French as Good plethora of new music Night. How apt. If you survived blowing your fingers off with live explosives in a bid to impress your girlfriend/8 year old son/crowd of strangers, or managed to avoid incarceration for stealing your neighbours fence to ignite on that pyre you constructed as a homage to the execution of Britain's original terrorist, why not take some time out to listen back to what can quite honestly be described as one of our best shows ever. Probably.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 05.11.11
This episode oddly pairs slow-tempo melancholy (Sun Kil Moon, Mark Hollis of Talk Talk fame) with misanthropic noise-grind (Ultimate Thrush) and eco-terrorist, dulcimer-based black metal (Botanist). The recommended record comes from Alcest, who weave together uplifting soundscapes with a slight black edge on their album "Souvenirs d'un autre monde".

I'm pretty sure that the onset of winter is amongst my many hang ups (flying, eating in front of people I don't know, eating food on any plate that isn't white, waiting until I'm just about to piss my strides until I run for the bog, like it's some kind of cosmic challenge to my bowels, not being able to go to bed without the light on when I'm stoned...).
I used to adore it. It meant Christmas, it meant some presents from my parents, living the Thatchero-Blairite credit dream until it went bollocks up... it meant home, it meant the vicarious imbibing of alcohol through the lived in husks of the middle aged.. it was hopeful, basically.
Now my life is like an Aidan Moffat song. A new one. Tax credits, value Tesco bacon, periodically calling up your increasingly aging parents to borrow yet more money to pay back yet more debts. Grim as fuck innit.
So here are some largely miserablist tunes. Fuck you all.
Cheers.
Also, for those of you (surely no one) who is following this series incredibly unsubtle dropping of 90's footballer names into every other show, there is another tonight. Keep noting them down for the chance to win a free copy of the next Ship Canal release (CD-R, vinyl or cassette, we're not fobbing you off with one of the digital releases) and two whole pounds worth of Premium Bonds.

the intergalactic autobahn
In the morning...
You leave your little planet behind,
In your wooden space ship.
You turn around, say goodbye!
And travel into space...
Around dinner time,
You arrive at three rows of lights
That stretches indefinitely in all directions.
So, you stop there for a while,
Without realizing...
That you are, in fact,
Standing in front of...
The legendary...
= Intergalactic Autobahn =

are you listening?
Todays show was a bloody treat. I played the audio from my interview with the LaFontaines, as well as the 2 acoustic tracks they did for me. what gents. the interview was a good laugh and covered a variety of topics such as Dennistoun, Star Wars, ginger hair and dinosaur poo.
I also had the beautiful Janine and Hamish of Vukovi in to give us a wee tune. They played two of their songs and were later joined by Ross Leighton of Fatherson for a lovely wee rendition of Jimmy Eat World's 'Sweetness'. The song will be available soon on itunes o raise money for a Childline set up children's charityv called Runaway.
See you in two weeks.

feel the burn!!
We hope you've been doing your stretches because this week we had Subcity's in-house fitness instructors, Theez Boyz R Athletes in the mix. Providing a sweaty melt of grooving Disco, jacked up House and badman bashment, you can expect to burn quite a few calories through the course of ten minutes. Elsewhere, we started on a smooth-tip this week with Pasty32, Rob Etherson and Simi Simi easing us into Wednesday evening, while Mia Dora, Grobbie and click Refresh battled it out for our Local Hero award. Bigness....

marble plated reflects {devonwho & citymouth}
º^º~~~º^º
For this particular broadcast of Earthly Matters, I am pleased and excited to say that there will be an interview from Los Angeles' funk-wizard-meister, Devonwho, and Portland, Oregon's very own experimental beat-centric, Citymouth will be providing a very special guest mix. ^__^
~~~~~~~~~~~~º^º~~~º^º ~~~~~~~~~~~~
DEVONWHO ~~~~~ { K L I P M O D E , A L L ` C I T Y }
--------
Hailing from Los Angeles, California, Devonwho is 1/4 of the coast to coast, regional partnership of LA / Philadelphia based Klipmode crew which comprises of a group of four creatively individual, immensely talented, and visionary musical talents, with the others being, Suzi Analogue, Knxwledge, and Mndsgn.
Having grown up and discovering music for the first time in Portland, Oregon, Devonwho would begin to develop an enthusiasm for instrumental based rock music which would subsequently lead to him playing percussion/drums for various funk and blues bands. Despite his passion for bands, it would be the world of electronic music that would capture his attention. From the weird and wonderful and often bewildering sounds of pioneering Warp Records artists such as Aphex Twin, Devonwho would begin to appreciate the subtle and complex sounds of, electronic orientated music and be inspired to create the music that he plays today, all the while still picking up on the leisurely, and profound, tangible feeling of soul-felt bedroom styled beats.
For a beatmaker, Devonwho certainly stands out from many of his peers. The attractiveness of Devonwho’s work is special for it’s broad musical approach, which provides us with a delightful concoction of fun wrapped gestures, oscillating flourishes of flashy synthesized tinsel-funk melodies and rhythms. Desirably controlled, cool, calm, low-curled, serenely sonorous hip-hop beats, to fine-drawn and obscurely gentle, sci-fi electronic effects and ripples.
All in all you could say that Devonwho’s music has a steady sense of patience and cheerfulness. It’s good-natured, easygoing, pleasantly relaxing which likes to play around and have fun and discover new ways of approaching music - this is also reflected in the arrangements of his song titles - yet it is deeply uplifting and heartwarming. It’s something you can dance to in a club, or take with you cycling along a nature trail. It’s meant to accompany you everywhere you go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~º^º~~~º^º ~~~~~~~~~~~~
CITYMOUTH ~~~~~ { D R O P P I N G ` G E M S }
--------
Another resident from Portland, Oregon alongside Devonwho is Citymouth who is a member of the highly magical, and oh so marvelous Dropping Gems label. Dropping Gems are fine ambassadors for capturing and providing our planet with an array of delightfully electronic-led, beat-centric, sound collage mirrors, and reflective sounds. Other organisms from the Dropping Gems label include, Brownbear, DJAO, Natasha Kmeto, Ghost Feet, Rap Class, Gumar and His Magical Midi Band, Nag Champa a.k.a. Bone Rock, Timeboy, and Digifid. It is their mission to provide a reverie of thought for the decades, centuries, and millennia ahead, and whilst we may still be living in the year 2011, these are template sounds, for what music will sound like once our planet decides to co-exist peacefully and humans lay out a platform for a Utopia to discover more and more life out there beyond the milky way.
Citymouth is a true sentinel of the spaceways. His gathering of sounds, as displayed through his, “ Holodecker EP “, are exhilarating fusions of boogie pastured coiled beats, ethereal sound gatherings that are collected from everyday sounds from the streets to traffic on the roads and the wind brushing against leaves to an effervescent vacuum of weightless electronic circuitry ebulliently jumping from cloud to cloud throughout the stratosphere, never giving up and continuing on shining brightly from dawn to dusk.
This is the sort of music that makes you feel like you are the catalyst of an activity at the centre of a nucleus. It is the feeling of being apart of something special from the beginning right through to it's culmination. It is your tool that allows you to sculpt the existence of life. As it blends and radiates a variety of scattered colors from a swooping rainbow down upon a zapped, gateway. His music is the sort that makes you stop everything that you’re doing and has you standing still on the middle of a road or pavement or hill and gaze up into sky at the faint sight of stars in space, making you wish you were up above traveling afar.
º^º~~~º^º
You can download Citymouth's mix for free, directly from his Soundcloud page on the link provided below.
http://soundcloud.com/citymouth
º^º~~~º^º
Furthermore both Devonwho, and Citymouth feature on this spectacular, "Gem Drops" compilation which is compiled by Dropping Gems and available to download from their bandcamp. The "Gem Drops" compilation also features the likes of Culp, Juj, AL_PD, Shigeto, Sumsun, Ages, Anenon, DTCPU & Filthy Ingredients, Ankaa, The Great Mundane, and yuk. 100% of all proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

makin' shit guaranteed to bust ya fuckin' melon.
As one half of the elite Jazz Spastiks, Mikey (Manyana) has really been at the top of his game recently. With their latest album Mode 7, an old school flavoured collaboration with Junclassic, hitting the very tops of the US Hip Hop Charts, and the legend that is Mark Farina queuing up for tracks for his critically acclaimed Mushroom Jazz series, it sure is a good day for REAL hip hop.
In his own time, Mikey loves his house music, be it deep, bumpin' or jackin', every time it's just straight up flavoursome, and he's got the collection to back it up however he may be feeling. We've been trying to get him into the studio for a while now but just kept on putting it back, but the time has finally come.
Expect tracks on wax from a DJ/producer and all round nice guy that we can't big up enough, along with a well rounded warm up from ourselves.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 01.11.11
This is the second broadcast of Source Tags & Mixtapes within the space of a week, and I took the opportunity to do another halloween special, a year after the first. Determined to outdo myself, I booked the studio for two hours and got semi-regular Source Tags contributors Paul McLaughlin and Timothy McQuillian back into the studio. Here you'll find a mix of extreme black metal, eerie electronic, spooky spoken word tales, and - when James T Mckay of The Cosmic Dead stumbles into the studio around 25 minutes before the end - super-hyper space dance. That's when things get a little weird.

Celebrating the first full-length release from supergroup Wild Flag, we delve into the back catalogue of Carrie Brownstein, Mary Timony, Rebecca Cole and Janet Weiss. Featuring tracks from The Spells, Excuse 17, Autoclave, Helium, Quasi, and of course Sleater-Kinney, it's an evening with riot grrrl royalty.

Animal Hospital Monthly Check-up // 02.11.11
Animal Hospital returns to Subcity after an extended summer washing seabirds on the beaches of New Zealand.
For our sophomore session, we thought we'd open up our format a little bit - rest assured, we're keeping all the good stuff. We'll be uprooting the finest musical produce to add to our two hour aural stew, generously seasoned with witticisms and throat singing.
Put all of your eggs into our basket.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 29.10.11
This is the first of two planned episodes of Source Tags & Mixtapes within the space of a week. Paul McLaughlin guests as we broadcast before attending local band Dananananaykroyd's final ever Glasgow show. We follow up the opening track from their second and last album with a classic single from one of Scotland's most loved bands The Delgados. Scottish music double blow.
There's also some great post-rock flavoured stuff from FareWell Poetry - the recommended record this week is their debut "Hoping For The Invisible To Ignite". Also here: New Wavves (feat. members of Fucked Up), underrated Smashing Pumpkins stuff and some nice trip-hoppy sounds from Phantogram. There's also a track from Ripple'Field (Aaron Kelley from Airs' solo project) which we enjoyed so much words failed us. Paul put it better when he reviewed the debut album over at his Youtube channel.
Tune in post-halloween (Nov. 1st 00.00 - 02.00) for a (hopefully) guest-heavy halloween themed show. We'll be giving away 2 tickets to (MF) DOOM at the Arches, so get on it.

With Thalia out of action in a mid-term essay crisis, Eleanor takes on the show by herself. In an attempt not to embarrass herself completely, she turns to some old favorites and sneeks in some banned by Thalia material. With a full update on those all important questions such as - what drives Kate Hudson to make only terrible rom-coms and a definitive answer to all those is she/ isnt she Beyonce pregnancy rumours, lets hope Thalia returns next week.

We were lucky enough to have the amazing Tin man in the studio for this episode. He gave us a bunch of poems including CHILD OF EDEN and LOOK HOMEWARD ANGEL.
An amazing man with enough of a sense of humor to put up with my ramblings! We discussed his inspirations, his love of urban camel treks, the KLF and pre-theatre dinners for pensioners amongst other things.
Into the mix we add music from Bong Water, Vic Chestnutt, the John Knox Sex Club, Adam said Galore and PJ Harvey. So grab a glass and enjoy!

It was all about those pesky Duo boys this week as Will Da Beast provided a super-phat, turbo mix in for our Tea Time Rave Off. With the likes of JME, Mosca, Zinc & Brenmar all crammed into ten minutes you can expect your fair share of bass. On top of that, they also featured in our Local Hero run down competeting against Gary Beck and a new collaboration between Fall & Bronagh Monahan. New music also came from Domsko, Mia Dora, Colo and Cur$es...it were well tight.

new york, new york
New York, such a beautiful disease. Walking around the Brooklyn streets, listening to the echoes and sounds. Filtering chillout from the crowd. Breathing in the contagious bacterias of musical toxines. Come over, die peacefully around the sounds in the middle, speak softly 'New York, I love you, but you're bringing me down.' Musical katharsis, to be a new born again, you first have to die.

From dancing like no one is watching, to encouraging you to dig out your rusting bike and peddle back to Summer in a last ditch attempt to remember warmth, this episode blends nostalgia with observation. A half hour mix of a dilemma between heart bursting optimism to doubt to mulling things over, carefully summaries a recording of images and sounds. 2 hours of new finds, old favourites and random musings.

tuff wax special
After playing some tracks sent to us by the Tuff Wax crew in Aberdeen, we decided - what better way to get a feel for a promising new Scottish label than to have them record a mini-mix for us to play out? The result is one half of todays broadcast. After selling out a hometown show for their record release party at the weekend, and Yoin's 'Martial Status' now available to buy through Tuff Wax, the boys have a lot to celebrate. Ears to the ground for these guys.
As well as the mini-mix, we are having something of a Planet Mu overload today. Severant (the debut album from Kuedo, aka formally one half of dubstep duo Vex'd) is a stunning release, and goes to show that good things truly are worth waiting for.
As well as these debuts, the Bangs & Works Vol .2 footwurk/juke compilation and the King Midas Sound remix album are getting serious rotation from us right now.
We always try to keep it as new as possible for you all, and today is no exception.

craving sleep cycles
“We’re so caught up in our everyday lives that events of the past, like ancient stars that have burned out, are no longer in orbit around our minds. There are just too many things we have to think about every day, too many new things we have to learn. New styles, new information, new technology, new terminology … But still, no matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, there are some things we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away. They remain with us forever, like a touchstone.”

let me clear my throat...
This week's show was a lot of fun, not least because I (Alaska) had to keep clearing my throat (it sounded like Father Jack regurgitating twenty years of cigarette depositary) but also because we had Mixking's NoFace in the mix, throwing down ten minutes of bouncy Hip Hop, RnB and Ghetto-Crunk. Check out the links below, he's probably one of the most talented boys we know.
We also went in on a bit of a House tip to start the show with some classic material from HaHaHa & Raksha, plus new stuff from Pablo Rez and Dynamode. Finally, our Local Hero award came right down to the wire with Mia Dora, Domsko & Simon Stokes all in the running...serious heat.

Austrian musician have fought for themselves a stable position on the electronic music stage. 'Where there's smoke there's fire' and a lot of smoke comes from Vienna. Flapper dresses? Charleston? Cigarettes and wine? No. It's not 20s. It's Austrian club scene of 21st century. Swing electrified with fat beats. Sweet combination to warm up an October night!

"I could bet all of the riches that I ever had, Rush in the night like a shockwave wouldn't be bad.." - SBTRKT: Wildfire
Tonight see's the return of Rosa Higgin to the studio, and boy do we have a show for you. We've decided on keeping the end of the show open for us to look at specific labels, delve a bit further into them, and play out some music. This month, we're taking you back to a favourite of ours that went well the last time - Motown. To keep it a bit different, we've dug out some tracks we missed the last time, and it's strictly vinyl.
For this months guest mix & interview, we've caught up with Glasgow duo Mia Dora Tune in for all the hype and info ahead of their forthcoming release on Big Dada/Ninja Tune, plus get first listens to exclusive unreleased material, including a collab with the one & only HaHaHa.
If that wasn't all enough, we've also got our selection of 'Floorfillers' - the tracks that are keeping us on our toes at the moment.
10pm until 12 midnight - get locked!

Late of Manchester, and now residing in Edinburgh, Ste McCabe is a one-man queercore punk disco machine. Currently touring his EP "Harrowing Breakdown", Ste is going to treat us to a session live in the Subcity studio. At once seething, sarcastic, endearing and funny, Ste sings about religion, politics, feminism and homophobia, all to searing punk guitar and dancealong disco beats. Ste will also be taking over the studio to play us some selections from his record collection, so tune in, as it's gonna be a proper treat.

Anna's away, but we're not bitter! Yes, she works in a record store, and yes she normally fills in the gaps when Izzy has nothing to say, but who needs her when you've got musical couplets (jaunty/tropical, lady hip-hop) and a certified racist in the studio instead?
So stuff it, Noel.

soul classics on soulful allsorts
Fraser is at a wedding today so he and Felonious have put one in the can for replay.
Whilst he's sweating it out in case he has to buy more than one round at 1 Devonshire you can enjoy an all vinyl Soulful Allsorts.
Fraser has dug into the vaults and dug out some stuff that he's overlooked previously but now they're seeing the light of day.
You might yourself rediscover some favourites and then again they might be entirely new to you but it's all great stuff.
Check out the playlist whilst you listen.

2011 rap special
Rather than align ourselves with the a-typical hoards of hip hop fans around the world who seem to be constantly mourning the 'death of rap', year in, year out, we believe that the past 12 months has been great for rap music.
The classic criticisms of rap - shitty mixtapes, an over-saturated market, weighted emphasis on materialism and general rap beefs showing otherwise talented artists to be narrow-minded and discouraging of new faces - are being tackled in 2011 with much success thus far.
Mixtapes are constantly improving. Their quality as a serious promotional tool, as well as providing a more immediate and DIY approach to releasing music, has shone through in recent months. There's far less DJ shout-outs and more attention to detail. We can only welcome this move.
In terms of people to watch, Kendrick Lamar is doing great things, Yelawolf's debut album 'Radioactive' drops this November, and even Kreayshawn is featured on the cover of Complex. Wut. Rap is certainly more diverse than it's ever been. Beef still goes on though. Kreayshawn vs Rick Ross seems to be alive and well(and thankfully so is Rick Ross himself). Seriously though - Kreayshawn, back off girl. Ross is boss.
On the commercial angle of rap, the Occupy Wall Street protests have attracted U.S. rappers like Talib Kweli, Immortal Technique, David Banner and Kanye West to the streets. But how can the often materialistic lyrical content of some American rap level against the public mood of today? Russell Simmons was boo'ed on camera in NYC this week as being 'part of the problem'. Hmmm.
2011 is shaping up to be a fire year for rap.
Shout out to Into The Swamp for some of these tracks.

gutted like a fish...
It has been nearly 6 months since the last show. Oops. I did a half arsed hour long show a couple of weeks ago and some of the audio from that will be played soon. Anna Meldrum of Kitty the Lion did a magnificent wee session, and it would be a shame for no one to hear it.
So...on the 3rd of november we shall return with the Kitty the Lion session audio for you all to hear, as well as a nice little studio guest yet to be named.

37 - chase vampire
Returning to the studio for our monthly visit, and October has brought a lot by way of huge releases, dance's, rarities and some nice forthcoming dates.
Tune-wise you can hear the new forthcoming Reggae Roast release Sensi Skank in full, featuring Ruben De Silva, Skinnyman, Murray Man and Placid, and some rub a dub 45 clash tune selection.
We'll also be selecting some of our favourite riddims that have been refueled and revived over the last few years. Expect the likes of Cherry Pie, Sleng Teng, Bam Bam, Shanty Town and more.
Most importantly, we'll be speaking exclusively about our next big dance on 03/12/11. You won't be able to hear about it anywhere else until we get in to November, so make sure you listen closely for the information.
And as you all know as well, this is the only place you'll be able to hear any CB special versions we've recently acquired

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 15.10.11
Notice: unfortunately, the stream for this episode is faulty due to server problems at the time of broadcast. Subcity are doing what they can to fix the audio speed, but some of the audio was also lost and can't be recovered. Apologies, this was beyond our control.
This week, I voice my fascination with ambient and electronic music with a focus on texture and otherworldly sounds. Minimal beats with more of an emphasis on stretched out dronescapes. Including recent material from Tim Hecker and Blanck Mass, and a track from a yet unreleased album from Steve Hauschildt of Emeralds. Hope you like atmosphere. If you want to hear more stuff like this, you can check out the Test Tube netlabel. They have a wealth of free electronic/ambient/drone releases.

anonymous
Not everyone is satisfied with moody looking b+w press shots of artists posing in some post-industrial landscape looking searchingly just off camera, some prefer to fictionalise like MF Doom, some want to get all po-mo by obscuring identity with mythologised press releases and bios like Hype Williams. Although, we know who Daft Punk are, those retro-futuristic cyborg masks and ensuing movie made those ordinary looking white French dudes seem somewhat alluring.
The most absurd case of anonymity is probably HeWhoWillNotBeNamed from the Dwarves. After a few years of masks and pseudonyms, the band decided to issue a press release stating that the singer had been stabbed - they even attached a tribute to the “late” guitarist on their Sugarfix album. When it was eventually revealed that his death was bullshit, they got dropped by their label and HeWhoWillNotBeNamed had some rather confused parents to deal with. His return from the “dead” was greeted with as much enthusiasm as the return of Superman in 1993.
The three artists that feature heavily on this episode are anonymous for some very different reasons. Whether its due to a concerned effort to remain faceless, or because they’re not preoccupied with having their face plastered on their productions like Pimp Daddy... although, one of them just hasn’t got his press shots done yet.
Constrobuz is a beat maker who emerged in 2009, hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina, he mainly favours an orchestral flavour on his tracks, most notably on Fecal Vomiting, he also takes on some sample moments from psychedelic pop and Philly soul. His latest record is available on tape via Cicada Shell and comes with the NB: “These works are not meant to be 12" club tracks.” Constrobuz sent over a selection of his own tracks, which emerge throughout the episode.
DJ Akeera is a producer based in Glasgow who has chosen to remain anonymous. This episode features a mix of juke, comprised mainly of his own productions. If Burial managed nearly two years of total anonymity, perhaps this could last for at least a couple of shows... he is making a mask afterall.
Melvin has an EP primed for release on Chicago label Ghettophiles, his take on the sound synonymous with that label with some UK polish take on. He has sent over some selections of his work, including a track he finished 24hrs before the episode was recorded... so it’s new.

Oh aye, in more ways than one!
So as Derek takes a break on wedding duties (who the hell would invite Derek to a wedding?!), the show is graced with the diminutive but joyous presence of noise merchant and ahem social butterfly, Kenny Love. Famed for his legendary shapes on the dance floor, hedonistic leanings and unfathomable screaming vocals, Kenny has long since acquired 'friend of the show' status so it's about bloody time he stepped up to the mark to avail us of his unique view of the world. Aye...and he's got some right good music taste as well.

Apologies for leaving you hanging there sugarpop. Me and Chris Awkward been smashing it at the Tusk festival in Newcastle. Intense man to man bacon swapping aktion.
Back, although not necessarily with any bone.
Last episode I piped new shit from a brand new label down your vibro-holes. This week it's all about pure old stuff. Like, before Ipads and that. Round the time of the third or fourth episode of Our Friends In The North like.
The Homosexuals done got a fair claim at being one of the most champion overlooked and downright inspirational cabals in all of the UK punk scene... although int' it, really... I mean, punks all postcards and mohawks and growing up to be a property developer for a lot of folk eh? Not these cunts.
They always sounded so fucking indoors, like everything outside their own windows was full of danger... luckily though they had obviously raided the only freak bloke in the neighbourhoods record collection before they decided to birth their own eco system squat experiments, snorting up otherworldly psyche, heavy dub and porno garage spunk, occasionally ripping up the odd cracked hook from somewhere behind the back of the sofa and casually frittering it away into a pan with some beans and farting it back out into the ether as some loop heavy homespun concrete project.
I love them.
And if that sounds wank, check what Forced Exposure had to say about the pimpin' three disc Astral Glamour collection that Messthetics put out a bit ago:
"They wrote and recorded for five years, but they never took out an advert, sent out a promotional record, or got paid for a gig. The legend has grown, and today the Homosexuals are arguably the most acclaimed-and-least-heard band of the postpunk era."
When Forced Exposure speaks, you bloody well listen. Standard.
I love them.
The best thing about them was that they were the total forerunners of that 2000s explosion of different bedroom bound fuckers pumping out new blats every other week under different names, often with markedly different results but always with that... summat...
You know when you've heard a Homosexuals related record. You just do.
So tonight, I'm bringing you a mix of some of my favorite homo related releases, all tossed out there by Black Noise or It's War Boys, their D.I.Y up yours moneybags labels. This shit was a beacon back in the day.
And I'm also gonna play you some wild new stuff from the likes of John Olson and Nate Youngs alcoholically spooked bass/sax/electronics duo Stare Case, some harrowing Romanian funeral folk, private press German synth obscura, some totally what-the-fuck Russian industrial bass and some kid from the states who sounds like he lunches on Jolly Ranchers and shoves E's up his arse for supper.

A wise man once said: "I don't want to be one of those pricks that sits round listening to OSTs all day".
Amen to that. So, on that sentiment, you're lucky that these two pricks sat round listening to OSTs all day so that you only have to suck up an hour's worth of them... Some of our favourite pieces of music from films, or some pieces of music from our favourite films. Either way, it's going to be a belta.

king of compilations
We love compilations. They are a great way to get access to lots of different music in one go. It's great when your favourite artist makes a compilation up with their favourite tunes, or a record label compile one of all their vinyl releases. In fact, we even like all those old NOW compilations too. So tonight, we'll be playing tunes from a variety of compilations.
We hope you can tune in and discover something new and unheard to you.

I'll also been throwing in some chilled out oldies from Physiks, Loki & Bill Breaks.

bjork - return of the ice queen
Bjork is an unquestionable queen of experimental electronica and downtempo. With her recent release of 'Biophilia' it would be a shame not to present her work and with the exploding diversity of her music, I quickly realised she would steal the show and outshine all the other artists I could include in the episode. And whether you have grown to love the biggest contemporary pop star of our times or not, her over 30 years career and involvement in music, film, education and activism gives a great story to tell. So turn on your speakers and listen to the story.

We also announced several more artists for our Exploding Plastic Glasgow exhibition on 17 October at the Rio Café, as well as our next gig; Redwings, The Radiation Line and Noma at The Flying Duck, Glasgow on 22 October.
In addition to all that, we discussed such varying topics as the feeling gleaned from owning a material possession previously thought unattainable, the dos and do not dos of cooking quinoa, and the moral implications of microwaving one's breakfast cereal.

We can't go providing exciting and talented new guests on every show now can we (no basically)? So on tonight's show we're presenting a special "no guest" special. It's all about Layman and Romance back to back. The way it should be. Expect a whole slew of new music and some old stuff too. Tune in at ten or listen again whenever. Oh and if you want to spark some form of interesting and/or topical debate email the studio via studio@subcity.org. We look forward to hearing from you.
UPDATE:O-kay. So, we weren't entirely honest with you when we said that this was going to be strictly a no guests special. Sorry guys but we managed to secure the last minute services of local medical man Dr. Phil, who very kindly agreed to pass on some of his extensive medi-knowledge to you our listeners. Thanks to all who sent in their medical nightmares. We hope Dr. Phil's advice helped.

Gilbert Denny is a friend of Soulful Allsorts and emails us when he's not at Cappielow. He along with several friends runs the Pineapple Soul Club flying the flag for soul in the West of Scotland.
We're guaranteed great music and good chat from 2:00pm

c.r.s.t in the mix
At Digital Dust we love our garage and we love our party beats so we thought who better to ask to kick off our series of guest mixes than CRST? A collective of producers from Cardiff who make straight UKG bangers. With releases on Herve's Cheap Thrills, Ten Thousand Yen, Well Rounded and countless remixes including a brilliant rework of the Shelter by the XX, its clear these boys are in demand!
Deckardo & Hanlo will be providing funk, house, garage, rnb and all the rest as per. Dusthead where are you??? :(

i dubbed the sheriff
After a quality guest set from Sultan last week accompanied by rowdy vibes in the Subcity studio Im back on my own again tonight with a fresh batch of new releases and forthcoming dubplates.
Including the entire new Calibre album, a fresh 12 inch from Dub Phizix and Strategy on Soul:r and the SPY bootleg of Zero 7 that's been doing the rounds lately. I've also got my hands on a Subcity exclusive from Glasgow based dub fiend Morphy with his new EP forthcoming on Translation Recordings titled I Dubbed the Sheriff. (...but he did not dub the deputy)

granny goes sci-fi cabaret
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 07.10.11
After the international success of the national tour, Vile struggled with his increased fame. Increasingly aggressive towards Producer Harry, and arranging the programme according to an erratic internal poetry, the Radio Hours of late 2011 were only held together by the consistent quality of the guests. For one episode, he called on the mighty Paul Puppet from Scunner and Spangled Cabaret, the cheeky Des O'Connor just before his experimental vaudeville sent his profile stratospheric, science fiction master, poet and rapper Bram Gieblen, an expert on Kandinsky and spiritual realism and a Proud Granny.
Somehow, it all makes sense...

Several hours of trawling through Eleanor's hip hop brain, and an undisclosed number of servings of apple crumble later, Thalia and pal bring you another week of the finest music to be found in our itunes collections. With a lot of help from the usual crowd of legends, we'll be chatting about our dizzying (ly dull) social lives and stuffing you full of our 'special' brand of chat.

show 7: all jacket, no pants
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 06.10.11
It's a rainy day, sunshine girl, so take the phone off the hook, pull the duvet up and spread your ear flaps for some more awkward intimacy. It's going to go something like this.
Overtone-heavy electric blues straight off Alan Licht's Minimal Top 10 list.
Psilocybin mushroom rituals from the throat of a Mexican curandera.
Heart-bursting '50s doo-wop drenched in eternal echo.
And devotional bedroom electronics with a massive stonker for Terry Riley's never-recorded krautrock masterpiece.
Just another hour with your favourite Awkward Sons.
I'm sweating already.

mad blunted jazz
Tonight, with the help of Herr Dunn and Ross Dinnett, Tarantism explore the smooth, deep world of jazz/hip-hop fusion.
Started with Cargo's "Jazz Rap" in 1985, jazz, both in the form of samples and live instrumental recordings, has become a staple part of hip-hop production, with musicians like Gang Starr and DJ Cam popularising the movement over the past 25 years.
Featuring two mixes, some interesting chat and a lot of hot air.

Another hot show this week on Synth! We've had some quality guest mixes over the last few weeks and they just keep getting better. This week Dynamode went in deep for our Tea Time Rave Off producing something a little different to what we've had recently. S-Type, Typikal and Cur$es battled it out for our Local Hero award and new music came from the likes of Simi Simi, Grobbie and Roose. BIG in the game.

zigaretten nach berlin
Techno and drugs. Mountains of drugs. We Children from Bahnhof Zoo. Or the other way round. Rigid traditionalists with and sterile environment. Scratch that. Goethe and Faust. Wagner. And Kafka's 'Metamorphosis'. Oktoberfest and Wurst. Or differently. Love parades. Colourful streets, cafes, bookshops, restaurants and clubs. And the grey concrete skyscrapers of city jungle. The city, once divided by the Berlin wall. The country, once divided by the war. The opposites and contradictions fascinated with each other once they met in the early 90's gave birth to one of the most eclectic scenes of the world, which prides itself with the great selection of electronic music.

dolphin hotel
In the early 1970s, Harold E. Puthoff and Russell Targ joined the Electronics and Bioengineering Laboratory at Stanford Research Institute (SRI). In addition to their mainstream scientific research work on quantum mechanics and laser physics, they initiated several studies of the paranormal. These were supported with funding from the Parapsychology Foundation and the newly-formed Institute of Noetic Sciences.
Remote viewing experiments test the ability to gather information about a remote target consisting of an object, place, or person that is hidden from the physical perception of the viewer and typically separated from the viewer by some distance. In one type of remote viewing experiment, a pool of several hundred photographs are created. One of these is randomly selected by a third party to be the target. It is then set aside in a remote location.
The remote viewer attempts to sketch or otherwise describe that remote target photo. This procedure is repeated for a number of different targets. Many ways of analytically evaluating the results of this sort of experiment have been developed. One common method is to take a group of seven target photos and responses, randomly shuffle the targets and responses, and then ask independent judges to rank or match the correct targets with the participant's actual responses. This method assumes that if there were an anomalous transfer of information, the responses should correspond more closely to the correct targets than to the mismatched targets.

admiral fallow in session
Louis Abbott has his finger in more pies than a pastry chef. Most commonly known as the frontman of much-loved folk-rockers Admiral Fallow, he also plays guitar in Song Of Return, is a member of The Moth & The Mirror, conductor of Blochestra and hosts the open-mic night at Bloc. Oh, and he does drumming on the side.
Admiral Fallow have been the only Scottish recipient of The Pop Cop's annual Album of the Year award, which they picked up in 2010 for their stunning debut record Boots Met My Face.
Tune in for a couple of exclusive acoustic tunes live in session from Louis - both earmarked for Admiral Fallow's second album - as well as some chat from the man himself.

After five months of silence, The Red Room has returned. We spent out first show back discussing how our summers went, reviewing gigs by Tenniscoats, Damo Suzuki, Lydia Lunch, The Seventeenth Century, Wounded Knee, The Cosmic Dead, Music is the Music Language, The Electric Frog, as well as our own exhibition at Beanscene in August.
We also discussed TV shows we had become obsessed with, including Breaking Bad and Curb Your Enthusiasm, as well as marathon viewings of the original Star Wars trilogy, our next exhibition at The Rio Café on 17 October (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=235474896503964), and our infatuation with Glasgow's burrito culture, centred around the supreme Glasgow Mega Burrito (http://glasgowmegaburrito.blogspot.com/).

On this weeks episode we have Subcity stalwart Shaun Fae Solar, who, alongside being a humanized encyclopedia of the station, helps co-ordinate some of the finest parties ever to grace our fair city for Vitamins.
In his free time Shaun likes to collect rare wax, give out abuse over the phone live on air and collect stats for the masses.
He's taken some time out of his busy schedule to throw it down in the studio today, and we've been promised it's going to be a bounce.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 08.10.11
This week, I'm excited to bring to you a special two-hour long session featuring an exclusive interview with Connecticut-based musician Dan Barrett. Dan is involved with several home recording projects, namely Have a Nice Life, Nahvalr, and Giles Corey, his solo project. He's also behind ENEMIES LIST HOME RECORDINGS, the record label that "wages war on music". Think of this one as a great big Enemies List mixtape which showcases their artists, complete with some insight as to how the label operates and why everything they do is so exciting and significant to modern music.
Special thanks (again) to Dan for agreeing to take the time out on such short notice to do the interview, and for being so insightful.
Remember to follow along on Facebook and Twitter if you're new to Source Tags & Mixtapes.

let me feel your body work
This week, we bring you some sounds from a young Aberdeen-based label called Tuff Wax.
Although we are an internet-based radio show, and station, we very much feel that we are a Scottish show. We love to support our local musicians, party-starters and everything in between, not only because talent deserves a platform regardless of genre or style, but also because we are often personally attached to or invested in those individuals. So when Tuff Wax Records got in touch, we were happy to play some of their records. Let us know what you think, and check them out for yourselves too on Facebook.
http://www.facebook.com/tuffwax
On top of that, we have some new rap mixtape joints from the U.S., some melodramatic R&B from The-Dream's personal moniker/project (what else?) and the new Sepalcure (forthcoming on Hotflush).
Much love,
CD

moritz von oswald // tikiman preview
As this week, in conjunction with Subculture, Animal Farm bring one techno's luminaries MORITZ VON OSWALD along with long time friend and collaborator TIKIMAN, I thought we would take a special look at the deep and wonderful world of Dub Techno.
In the first hour we'll take a look at the more contemporary edge of the genre and how Moritz's (alongside Mark Ernestus) blueprint has inspired a generation of producers to follow in their rather large footsteps.
The second hour will be dedicated to the pick of Animal Farm's favourites from the many original tracks and remixes from Basic Channel/ Maurizio / Rhythm & Sound / Main Street back catalogue.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 30.09.11
Musical guests and Glasgow festivals dominate the bill this week. Eddie Harrison drops in, in advance of the Mental Health Festival this month. Nick Spaghetti comes to the studio to fill us in on touring Europe with United Fruit (French government trumps the British on grassroots arts funding). More from him next week in the form of William Douglas and Willy Mason in interview. Peter Clerke and Frodo of Rhymes with Purple cover cabaret and theatre talking about Occasional Cabaret, and the Glasgow Cabaret Festival respectively. With a slight overrun to finish off, Lea Cummings at long last joins us in the studio to talk Kylie Minoise, Opaque, actions (not performances) and other projects with an exclusive track from Angel of Everyone Murder.

guest dj - bungo (chungo bungo)
This week Reggae selector and Bass enthusiast Bungo will be joining me in the studio and bringing the vibes with a heavweight guest mix.
Bungo is the co-founder of Glasgow Reggae collective Chungo Bungo and has been doing big things in the scene in the past year with his good friend and fellow DJ, Chungo. As you can see from his solo show here on Subcity you can expect to hear anything from Hip Hop, Garage & Grime to Jungle, Reggae & Dancehall and everything inbetween. So sit back, crank the levels up high and prepair for some heavy bass music.
Straight dubplate fire on this one.
Check out myself and Bungo's B2B session on Gutter Riddim back in May here and listen to some exclusive Chungo Bungo dubplates and mixes on their Soundcloud page here.

kylie minoise walks with us.....
So it’s quite conceivable this show will see the mighty Lea Cummings (aka Kylie Minoise) crash into the Subcity Studio, blood cascading from a streaming head wound, microphone in hand, body writhing in jerking movements on the floor, pained screams fighting to be heard over a crescendo of loosely structured noise.
Alternatively, we might just settle for some informative and memorable chatter and get him to select a few tunes!!
Let’s wait and see……

This episode's pretty all over the map genre-wise, but if you've listened to the show before I guess you've come to expect that.
Good vibes this week. Next week I'm going to be doing something I've never tried on the show before, so stay tuned. Especially you, Enemies List fans.

Heavy rinse or heavy mince? YOU DECIDE.
Tonight it is my absolute fucking pleasure to dedicate most of the show to celebrating the launch of Exotic Pylon Records.
Exotic Pylon is like some triple (four, five?) hardwired one man matrix of fucking getting off your arse and DOING something. It's the brainchild of my bro Jonny Mugwump, who has been bringing you the mighty weirdo echo chamber of heavy warp shtick that is Exotic Pylon radio on Resonance FM and Fnoob.com for proper time now.
I ripped that shit off summat' proper for this show, that's for sure.
Jonny is also the brains and balls behind the monthly EP nights at The Vortex in London, bringing you the likes of SHACKLETON, MORDANT MUSIC, EKOPLEKZ, NEIL LANDSTRUMM, ANDY STOTT, ENSEMBLE ECONOMIQUE and a bacon butty load more live interceptions... I'm told that the lad eats occasionally, although how he has time amid all that finger in pie shit I will never know.
But he does, and the world is a better place for it innit.
So tonight I'm gonna play you some forthcoming tracks from the label, including absolute pencil sharpeners from The Lord and Infinite Livez before indulging in the on air equivalent of one of those soul crushingly artificial porno's in which some dead behind the eyes seasoned vet of the game flicks one out in some shabbily converted suburban garage until the most artifical of orgasms... I'm gonna play you my set from last months Exotic Pylon Live at The Vortex.

Really starting to get back into the swing of things now after the summer break. As usual tonight's show featured some of the finest new music coming out of Glasgow right now with hot tunes from the likes of OOFT!, Rob Etherson and Harvey McKay. Thrust club provided perhaps our finest Tea Time Rave Off to date with a ten minute mix which literally made us kak our pants, plus Beta, Rustie and HiRO stepped up to the plate for our Local Hero award.

jeg elsker musikk
'Jeg elsker Musikk.' means in Norwegian 'I love music.', and if you really do, open yourself to new horizons. Talking about music from Norway, the first thing that you may think of is metal, but in the collision of sounds and colours of the white nights chillout was also miraculously born. And here the synth flutes and acoustic guitars befriend the empty spaces of experimental jazz. Norwegians know how to make them work together in a perfect balance.

It's been a long, dreich summer here in Glasgow, and we're glad to be back on air and alleviate some of the dullness that this June, July and August seemed to want to pain us with.

Thank you to every single person that came to The IVY last night to see some of our favourite Montreal residents - Jacques Greene and Ango - play some dope records and make girls dance like crazy. Dumb Southern rap always sounds better when there's a whole-pub singalong (with hand actions).
We DJ in The IVY the second Wednesday of every month, 9pm til 12am, so if you want to hear more of the kind of music we play on the show in a more personal setting (plus awesome food, alcohol and vibes) then come down and see us some time. We love seeing you all!
This week is back into the swing of things after the new term, with our standard eclectic mix of rap, hip hop, R&B and general electronic goodies. White labels and 'forthcomings' all round.

av take over
This week the boys from AV takeover the Subcity studio to preview their upcoming event @ Chambre 69 with Pokerflat's ANDRADE
AV returns with another quality line up having found a new subterranean dwelling in Glasgow city centre. Located underneath Urban outfitters on Buchanan street, Chambre 69 will host the next wave of AV parties with the team enhancing the club with their updated visual rig and musical selection.
This October AV bring's Parisian young pup Andrade into town for his Glasgow debut which is not one to be missed. Olivier has been cooking up a storm on the continent this year, releasing his 'Talk About' E.P on the highly acclaimed Poker Flat recordings and gaining respect from reputable house heavy weights Steve Bug, Karotte, Milton Jackson, Ralph Lawson and Alex Niggemann. Well known for his 'funky, post-minimal tech house' productions, Andrade reflects this in his Dj sets so expect plenty of solid, chunky house music with a splash or two of techno on the night.
AV resident Eddie Wagner and Animal Farm's Darren Quail will finish the night off b2b and the warm up will be provided by local veteran Dj, Colin Mclaren - back by popular demand after last years bouncing set in December! As always, AV's Andrew Winton will furnish the walls with a super abundance of visual entertainment………………….. so get your fine asses down!
Afterparty activities will also take place as usual at the not so secret - secret location x

flying solo / braille vs beat beneath
Ahsan is away on business (how very grown up) so it's Graham holding down the fort for this instalment of Braille. Kicking things off nice and slow, I'll be easing you out of the weekend and picking up the pace as the show goes on. I don't do microphones so don't expect a lot of chat, just sexy vibes followed by a bit of obligatory bass.
EDIT: As a nice surprise, Simon from Beat Beneath joined us for a little b2b session for the last hour, possibly his last session in the Subcity studio for a couple of months.

fondness and stiffed back armchairs
This was definitely our first show back of this year, with all new, bonanza FRESH material that hasn't been ripped from an unsuccessful earlier show, and anyone who told you otherwise was a liar. One of Shabazz's boys, was it? What, cat got your tongue?
In this show we play tracks relating to Summer - predominantly new releases, discoveries and purchases from the past few months since we've been off-air. Tom Vek, Tim Key, Kurt Vile...and other, less linguistically harmonious artists.
We also attempt a 'bit' with some soft cell sampling (won't be trying that again)
Posted at 16:38, 26th September 2011
techno bizness
After last show's excursions into slower, deeper territory, this week's Beat Beneath plans to start where we left off by kicking off with a few tracks of subtle, experimentally-tinged beats then brushing all that aside to launch into some proper dark techno smashers from the likes of Mike Dehnert, Skudge, a certain side-project-of-a-side-project named Pacific Blue and of course many more. Expect pounding bass, warehouse vibes and big minor chords aplenty.

small scale collisions exclusive!!!
You will not forget the first time you encounter Small Scale Collisions in real time. Their music resonates with pulses of energy and sound form, with sparkling tones sometimes apparent, occasionally implied. Words can be spoken whilst carefully crafted imagery focuses the stare. There is a very real sense of something new, urgent and compelling.
It is indeed a privilege that Gary and Ant will bless She Said with some material recorded exclusively for the show. We await their sounds, their words and their insight with a gently drawn breath.

emma's imagination in session
We're back! It's the first show proper of the new term and we've got Emma's Imagination in the studio playing two songs and chatting to mark the special occasion. Since doing this, Emma has been living the high life in London, so we had to pull out all the stops to lure her back to the motherland.
Emma has had two top-10 singles, her debut album entered the UK charts at No.14 and she received a cheque for £100,000 from Sky for winning talent contest Must Be The The Music - but is she happy? It's time to find out...

this is just another retread
Source Tags and Mixtapes // 24.09.11
There's a bit of déjà vu this week on the show as I present to you the true ending to last week's show, the other 7" from Divorce I promised to pick up earlier and another Thrice song, even though I played one on the last episode. Don't worry though, this one's from their pretty damn impressive new album, "Major/Minor".
This episode also dedicates nearly twenty minutes to Jesu in the form of two tracks from their self-titled record, which I highly recommend. I have to force myself not to play Jesu every single week on the show, so I guess this helped me get it out of my system. For now.
Oh, and I play some Planning For Burial - one of his latest tracks.
You know me.

news & summer special
Digital Domination Radio // 23.09.11
There's been a few changes here at Stomp HQ, namely that the show now goes out live on air at the new slot of Fridays at 2100hrs. You can of course still access the shows via 'Listen Again' if you can't manage to tune in live.
The other change you'll notice is the show is now one hour long, this is purely due to personal circumstances (I went back to uni so I need more time for beer*) but it means I'll be working extra hard to bring you the best industral tunage I can possibly squeeze in to that one hour of hardcore awesomeness.
DD returns to Subcity on 23rd September with a special summer show, I'll be playing a whole load of summer releases & other little nuggets of greatness I acquired while we took our summer break.
Stay in the rhythm!

Eleanor and Thalia are back in the studio after a long, not so hot summer of nothingness. In our first episode back we eat skittles, play music and chat hip hop.

northern soul special
Funky Junk returns to the Subcity net-waves for the new season with a Northern Soul 'special edition' episode. Playing a wide selection of both classic hits and rarer grooves, we delve through the record crates of the 1960/70s dance-hall phenomenon.
Playing hits by the likes of Holly St.James, Frank Wilson, Gloria Jones, Martha Reeves, Tammi Terrell and many more. The history and origins of the movement will also be discussed, along with what happened during the long summer lull, but as with everything Northern Soul, it's all about the music.

So, after pounding your fucking cocks in at the new Art School Union last night, we're gonna be playing it slow, dark and smokey for this one.

red planet
“Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine.
And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others.
And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.”

represent represent!
One of our biggest shows to date? Quite possibly. This week featured some of the best music we have ever brought you, all locally sourced and sounding completely fresh. Looking down the tracklist, we featured only two songs from outside Glasgow, with the rest standing testament to just how well the local scene is doing at the moment.
Big tunes came from the likes of Harvey McKay, Forty Winks, Beta and The Revenge, while up and coming rave-tech producer, Click Refresh provided our Tea Time Rave Off, almost blowing the monitors in the process. Our Local Hero award this week could well have been the most closely contested to date, with Daniel Donnelly, Simi Simi and Barrientos turning out some simply incredible music. As we say every week, labels listen up...half this stuff isn't even signed!
* We made a light error when talking about Simi Simi's track 'La Paz' - it is infact new and unsigned and you can check them out here: http://soundcloud.com/simisimi

maple leaves are falling again...
In our journey round the scenes of the world, it would be a shame not to stop by Canadian avenues full of vibrant sounds of metropolises and multiculturalism. This diverse atmosphere is favourable to the process of creation of brave new sounds that squeeze the hearts and plug them out. Modern Toronto, gardens of Vancouver and galleries of Montreal set the stage to the soundtrack of the passing time. We might not get a chance to see Aurora Borealis but everything might emerge between the closed eyelids and ears.

the summer should get a speeding ticket...
"In the summertime when the weather's high, you can stretch right up and touch the sky, when the weather's fine.."
- Mungo Jerry: In The Summertime..
There's no denying, when the weather is fine, it makes us feel damn fine, so to kick off our return to the airwaves, we'll be looking back to the summer for your favourite tracks & memories. With the weather getting biblical on our ass', We'll be reminiscing with the likes of Indra, Bungo (Chungo-Bungo), NoFace, Kid Robotik, Pasty 32 & more to talk about what kept them on their feet over the summer.
Also on the show, we have the first of our monthly guest mixes, from none other than Pasteman! With forthcoming releases on Second to None, and Sounds of Sumo, to name a few, and support from the likes of RinseFM, he's currently our one to watch, so we caught up with him briefly, plus grabbed this fresh mix for the show packed full of exclusives. It's also, funnily enough, his birthday today (Sept 21st.) so a massive Happy Birthday is in order, it's definitely one not to miss!
If all that wasn't enough, there will be plenty of floor fillers & new releases aswell in the tracklist, so get locked in from 10pm tonight.

underground sounds
DJ Dribbler was one of the original four DJ's at the world famous, seminal, house and techno night "Pure" in Edinburgh. As well as residing at Pure nights in Glasgow, London and Dublin he has played all over the world thanks to his stint as Orbital's tour dj in the mid 90s.
He’s been living for ten years in New York DJ’ing and 7 months in Tokyo. During this time he worked closely with Belle and Sebastian organising their aftershow parties across the states and in Japan. He also works with Roots Manuva's "Lord Gosh Sound System" throwing memorable parties in Glasgow and Brooklyn with more to come.
Recent appearances have seen him DJ'ing on Ibiza’s Sonica radio and holding fort every week at the Solid Gold Safari, Glasgow’s only all day free house party every Saturday at the almost as world famous "Halt Bar."
DJ Dribbler defines underground and has been a highly regarded and respected purveyor of the realest house music you will hear anywhere on the planet for the last 20 years.
He also saved a seal once.

sneaking in the side door
Soulful Alsorts started off life on Radiomagnetic and originally went out live on a Sunday afternoon. Fraser Dunn built up a good live following and exchanged e mail banter with soul fans from all over the world. Sadly (well for us) radiomagnetic decided to move to a listen on request format.
Soulful Alsorts transferred to Subcity and built its audience above and beyond our old listenership. Today we're in the top five shows on Subcity for live and Listen Again audiences. Our fellow top rated shows include Disco Disco, Vitamins and Screen Shrapnel. We're getting even more e mail than ever before and http://www.essentialmodernsoul.co.nr/ features a topic headed Soulful Alsorts which acted as a chat room. Last Saturday we received our first soul poke via Facebook.
We've set up a Facebook page Soulful Alsorts on Subcity. Head here

guest mc's - gasp & depths (the being)
Gasp & Depths have been making music together for quite some time now and there is no denying that they work well as a team. Lately they have been absolutely smashing the Dont Flop doubles tournament with their hillarious lyrical content and showing the world what Glasgow's got. Over the past year they have been teaming up with top producer Scatabrainz and bringing us a steady flow of hard hitting tracks such as 'The Beast', taken from the newly released Depths & Scatabrainz album 'Less Than Human' and 'Accidental Secretions', taken from Gasp's 'Trying To Find The EXIT' mixtape.
This week they will both be joining me in the studio for a live session, to let us hear some of their new music and to chat about whats been happening lately and what they have planned for the future.
You can buy the Depths & Scatabrainz joint album 'Less Than Human' for £5 on the Depths bandcamp and download his 'On My Level' dub from his Soundcloud page here.
You can download Gasp's 'Corpus Mentis', 'A Girl Called Glasgow' and 'Trying To Find The EXIT' mixtapes completely free from his bandcamp page here.

cut-ups, mash-ups and outsider hip hop
We have another fantastic action packed two hours of soul searching poetry outsider folk and left field hip hop. In this episode we play you a little more of the fantastic work from giant of the written word Langston Hughes.Two beautifully visual poems from the likes of Carl Sandburg and Vijay Seshadri. Charles Simic well crafted poem on the nature of having two sets of parents and James Tates haunting tale of the lost Pilot.
We have some stunning sounds from the likes of Nico and The Psychedelic Furs. The actress Scarlett Johansson doing a great Tom Waits cover. The ghostly delta sounds of timber timbre, plus The Van Pelt, Two Gallants and many more.
We focus on reinvention in this episode. Looking at collaboration works and artist who are reinvigorating classics including a new take on Langston Hughes, the weary blues. Because I could not stop for Death by perennia, Symphony of Science - The Poetry of Reality and DJ Krust working with Saul Williams classic poem Coded Language.
If that's not enough we have we've invited outsider musicians Wild man Fisher, Richard Swift and Tin Man to join Hip Hop artists MF DOOM and MC Paul Barman here in hotel echolalia.

looking back again
Source Tags and Mixtapes // 17.09.11
This week, Source Tags & Mixtapes gets a little nostalgic. When deciding what to play for Songs for Singles this week, I came across the first 7" I ever bought. That got me thinking about the stuff I was listening to in my pre-teens and early teens. There's a lot of stuff I couldn't bear to listen to at this stage - phasey crap one gets into because it's readily available and tailored to a specific demographic. But there's music that I still hold dear now; albums and artists that give me vivid memories of where I was at that point in my life. I can even see where my current tastes and obsessions stem from. Some of the songs on this playlist may be considered "guilty pleasures", but I hope to make a case for them and explain clearly why they belong here in this episode.
Listeners: I'd really like to hear your own music memories. Get in touch via Facebook or Twitter.

erupting rocket showers {groundislava & ahnnu}
º^º º^º º^º
An interview with WEDIDIT's and Friends of Friends LA situated aerodynamic, fantasy-guided, map weilding, arcade gaming, button basher-A-ZOID melodic hip-hop champion, Groundislava. Whose heart wandering, House music merging, nostalgic, gliding synths and arpeggiated textures smoothly climb up and unexpectedly lift you, soaring far off into wondrously pixelated lands that you haven't even dreamed of yet. Think about the water temple from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the N64 crossing paths with Final Fantasy VII on the Playstation One whilst stepping foot into the land of Kirby on the SNES combined with the sensibilities of harmoniously structured songs and LA beats.
º^º º^º º^º
On top of that there is an exclusive guest mix from Richmond, Virginia's very own sampledelic-ambient absorbing, soul stirring, beat head, Ahnnu. This young producer creates and reconfigures boogie-jazz instrumental filled, beat templates, reminiscent of early 90's hip-hop whilst being deeply ingrained within a sun-lit tangled web of beautifully constructed sounds of the forests, butterflies fluttering through the pollen filled air, all the while autumn foliage lands serenely on electronically enhanced fresh water ponds.

show 4: "i go to lots of pub quizzes"
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 15.09.11
This week our long lost awkward step-brother, the deliciously firm Gary 'G Money' Milne from NASA (yes, that NASA), will be sliding between our sweaty sheets as we dim the lights and get all doe-eyed about our favourite audio innovators.
Genre creators, instrument inventors, history refusers and echo intellectuals - chances are it's going to be a fucking stinker.

guest mc - typikal (tongue acrobats)
This week i'm joined by Tongue Acrobats crew member Typikal. He will be dropping us some fresh freestyles as well as playing us through some exclusive tracks from his forthcoming EP with Bill Breaks 'Divided Personality' which will be out on the 2nd of October.
There is no denying that Typikal's work rate has been strong over the past couple of years, whether it be through solo work or tracks with his crew, his music is always top notch. This show aint one to be missed!
This year the Tongue Acrobats crew (Typikal, Ken Da Koalah, Kid Robotik, Jet One & Tom Weir'd) released their 'A Touch Of Delerium' EP for free download. I would say its one of the freshest downloads to come from the Glasgow scene this year. Highly recomended, get it for free here.
Back in 2010 Typikal & Kid Robotik released the 5 track 'Bad Joke' EP which you can download for free here.
Catch him and his crew alongside The Being supporting Jehst next month at Classic Grand - For more information check out the Facebook event here.

a game of two halves
Tonight on Build + Destroy we're taking a break from our traditional format and taking a whole god damn hour of the show each to indulge you with our aural aurora. Think of it as radio role play - we get to pretend we've each got a guest mix slot, it's just on our own show...

what will the future bring to us?
That is the a question. But Guns Of Bristol did some spying on that topic and collected a nice selection of things that you might expect from this term in Glasgow. Autumn 2011 is not planning to disappoint the chillout lovers. To light the upcoming dark and wet months a bit, there are a lot of new albums coming on and gigs to warm you up.

guest : ivan kutz (nomad)
This week, continuing with local dj/promoters we have IVAN KUTZ of NOMAD.
Previously Ivan was resident at Club 69's Seasons, but since the formation of NOMAD, he has brought HEARTTHROB, RHADOO & KAROTTE to various venues across Glasgow. Their most recent party being held at the fantastic Glasshouse!
Animal Farm providing a more house warm up this week, as we've (I mean me) been battering the techno recently!
More updates on the Moritz von Oswald & Tikiman gig tonight as well!

Ahead of Vitamins 5 on Saturday, Shaun & Sam will be joined in the studio by some of the acts who are playing for a special 2 hour warm up session. Aunite Flo, Smiddy & Hektor Ruiez will be on the decks whilst Cur$es are hauling their synths and MPCs up to perform a live session for us.
On top of this, we're giving away another pair of tickets - to enter is the same as last time: reply to our latest post on facebook with a youtube link to the song you need to hear most on the night. The winner will be chosen at random during the show.
We will be paying our respects to DJ Mehdi, who sadly passed away at the age of 34.

post-frog deepness
Straight from the excellent Electric Frog festival and moving right into Freshers Week, this week's Beat Beneath aims to counteract the effects of too much Stella, St Helier and taps-aff antics from the weekend, and also the upcoming barrage of insipid pop music and questionable student union lineups in the coming week, by delivering a selection of no-nonsense, discerning deep tuneage to the citizens of Glasgow and beyond. Whether you're a student re-engaging your brain and liver for the upcoming term, or you've already been there and done that and just starting another week in the office, or you're the one random listener in Venezuela (statistics don't lie...), indulge your ears in an hour of quality tunes from the likes of James What, Taron Trekka, 6th Borough Project, and a couple of the stars of last weekend.

the high life
Been a mad summer, Played many party's in Edinburgh along with hosting weekly Edinburgh festival club night twenty twenty, having just returned from Outlook festival and having played the subcity freshers party at the sub club Digital Dust is now focused on returning to the air waves.
With recent departure of Didge(fresh paul/xtra p) we welcome Hanlo & Deckard who over the past year or so have built up a heavy rep in the Edinburgh club scene, rinsing out venues week in week out such as sneaky pete's, cab vol and the store.
They are now part of the Digital Dust stable and will be joining me every week to bring their heavy house party vibes they are known for.
So for the first show back we will be focused on playing quality vinyl we have collected over the summer and also anything else released that we have been feeling......
........summer was dusssssty
(Dust Head & Hanlo rock separate sets each then collab on a b2b towards the end of the show)

two minutes late
Fraser I and forgot the main gate is being rebuilt and that we should be coming in the long way off Byres Road. We were lucky that Josh was in the office and the studio open so I think we managed to get Penguin Breakdown on within the first two minutes.
The show itself flew through with a great mix of tunes. I was doing some research on them yesterday and discovered a couple of now expensive items and a whole load of cheapos as Fraser would call them. I don't think you could listen and say that now costs hundreds. The music on the show is picked for quality not cost.
Some great tunes , some new stuff courtesy of Soul junction and a few requests gathered when Fraser was DJ'ing over the last few months mixed in with some previously unreleased Motown on the "Cellarful of" CD series.
I took photos of some of the 45s and you can find them on Facebook hopefully on the Soulful Allsorts on Subcity page and more than likely on my home page. You won't find price stickers on them and you still won't be able to spot the big ticket items.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 09.09.11
And they are back. While Producer Harry Parlane spent the summer in his hill-top retreat, slowly attuning his ears to the cosmic radio (they say he can now pick up transmissions from India just by squinting), Vile took a less mystical path and bum-rushed Fresh Air - the radio station of the year according to the New Scottish Music Awards - with a five hour show of anti-talent show chaos. Reunited on air for the first time since early July, the dynamic duo have been arguing about dubstep by text for the past fortnight.
As always, the programme is packed - to Harry's despair. Exclusive tracks from Holy Mountain, Bigg Tajj, John Knox Sex Club - interviews with Linden Tree Theatre, a visit from Alan Miller out of RPZ and, hopefully, Mr Fielding Hope from Cry Parrot. Plus Vile reveals an extract of his interview with cabaret darling Camille, and explains why he didn't go for a drink with her.

`` It's a night chock-full of wonderful treats as I'm thrilled to say that we have guest mixes from the brilliant beatmaker Minipimp who is the mastermind behind the excellent Collective Resonance blogosphere, and local Glasgow hip-hop, lo-fi, folk head, Ken Da Koalah ` `
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
`` There's also tracks played from new record releases in the form of Thundercat's Jazz Flavored, funkadelic shakin', soul-gliding groovalicious psychedelic rushin', "The New Age of Apocalypse." A new one from Shlohmo's, "Bad Vibes" record, which is released on Friends of Friends and Tall Corn Music respectively. The track in question from Shlohmo, "Just Us", reflects a more touching, intimate take on his work that sounds like a gathering of peacefully gentle vocals being sprinkled across the floor of an ice cavern, the ripples and drips of an underground waterfall trapped in a hidden domain, forever shut away from the outside world and a composed sense of steady ambient patience.
Plus other captivating songs from Odd Future's, more spaced-out side, in the form of a smooth acid-jazz like electrically sex charged shape twister of a group, The Jet Age Of Tomorrow. Accompanying that will be a subdued, bassy-beat-squashing stomper that combines all of the alluring attractions of a seductively glamorous oracle from a middle eastern bollywood film, come courtesy of Vlek's Squeaky Lobster, and an exclusive beat from a talented hip-hop musician from New York, who I believe is going to be big in the future that goes by the name of Mattron. So make sure you pay close attention to his work further on down the line ` `

show 3: the junkie's piano
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 08.09.11
So, we've done drummers, singers and producers. Next up - guitarists.
Still the instrument of choice for simpering skin-tights and the romantically impaired, guitars have taken a kicking since... Well, since time immemorial, really.
Not a real instrument, the symbol of a generation's sexual and cultural decline, a sneaky fast-track to fat stacks, the junkie's piano, not to mention the endless crimes of the hair metal elite.
But in the right hands, it's still the quickest way to an out-of-body brain bleed, no matter how jaded Linkin Park made you.
Obviously, we're the right hands. Tune in tonight at 11pm for 60 minutes of insane amp destruction, riffs that would make Theresa May drip, and not one use of the word 'axe'.
(We hope)

We're back in the studio and getting far too excited for our own good. We've been stockpiling the tunes over the summer and tonight they were unleashed down your headphone extension like a tiger in your local butcher. Expect to hear fresh cuts from local producers such as Mia Dora, Jinty, Grobbie, Dynamode and Ovr Kill, plus hot shit from outside the city by Julio Bashmore, Scuba and Cadenza.
The Revenge, Hudson Mohawke and Ovr Kill battled it out for our Local Hero award (they're all winners in our eyes) and the bass was naughty.

Tune in for electro/techno/dubstep mayhem and join us dans le flesh on the 16th at Chambre69!
More about DBS:
DBS, playing out of various clubs around Glasgow, have an obsession, nae, a lifetime homage to BASS. Vik Vector with his fingers in as many pies as possible spanning fuzzy dirty electro-house through to harsh scything saw bass lines clashing with satisfying womp womp with a sprinkling of DIY punk ethic. Along with The Black Prince, who handles the business AND party end of pounding techno, electro, rhythmic pummeling and any other electronic skullduggery he can track down in his aural travels!

Coming at ya with an explosion of amazing guests old and new from Glasgow's musical underground and beyond....just you wait to see what we've got in store over the next couple of months!
So were we gonna start with a gentle meandering or a barely awake 'good evening'? No way, we started with an absolute belter as a mere 2 weeks away from launch of new album 'The Quickening' at Stereo in Glasgow, Remember Remember stalwarts Andy and Joanne joined us to rave about what those in the know (ie us!) believe to be quite simply the band's most outstanding venture to date. .

sweet home melodrama
Tarantism are back on Subcity Radio for the third year running.
If you're not by now bored of our poor quality chat and lame senses of humour, you'll be pleased to know that we now will be gracing your ears for 2 whole hours and that we will be on air every Second Thursday for the rest of eternity, in accordance to the scriptures.
Our first show back will be this Thursday : 8th September!
The pair of us and our 'friends' have spent the majority of this summer dicking around in various corners of the continent, sampling from the array of cultures, food and, of course, music that our varying destinations had to offer. Since the experiences of two men isn't enough to capture what the summer of 2011 had to offer, we decided that it was fitting to bring Tom, Dick and Harry into the studio to hear what they had to say about their respective summer escapades.
With reports hailing from the likes of Sonar (Barcelona), The Nottinghill Carnival (London), Outlook Festival (Pula), etc, etc, expect a musical diary of a summer of fun, sun and strange cultural shifts in a changing world... all accompanied by the finest stories and anecdotes.
* In the meantime, please take the time to fill out this questionnaire in order to help Subcity bring you better quality entertainment in the year to come. *

We're excited to have him in the studio today, and are expecting four to the floor bangers and low frequencys to engulf the airwaves. We know he can deliver.

songs, textures, tones & drones
Source Tags and Mixtapes // 03.09.11
Every year when that Autumn feeling sets in my hunger for atmospheric sounds gets more and more prominent, so this week's playlist brings a variety of songs from wildly different genres, all held together by that heavy sense of atmosphere and mood. There's a brand new track from Wolves in the Throne Room taken from their upcoming album "Celestial Lineage", some dreamy pop from Asobi Sesku and The Field, as well as some droney and euphoric electronic music from M83 and Fuck Buttons member Benjamin Power under the alias Blanck Mass. Songs for Singles comes from Tarwater, who demonstrate completely opposing characteristics with these two songs from their Tar Babies/Stawberry Statement 7".

Or, rather, it is actually going to happen this time.
Our much vaunted show focussing on the musical delights of the fairer sex (dependent on the ones you've met, of course) is finally happening this week. We've promised it twice, never showed once and forgot about the other - read into that what you will.
Tune in to hear a whole batch of influential, genre melting and vital music interspersed with Chris ruminating on the latest squalid avenue his Oedipus complex has led him down.

Music Is The Music Language // 27.08.11
Scottish promoters Cry Parrot, Tracer Trials and Winning Sperm Party have been putting on shows with the same fundamental DIY/non-profit ethics for sometime now, but “ethics” in the context of the music promotion business seems like asking China to halt it’s production and reinvent money. Besides, does the politics behind putting on shows really matter when all that’s important is enjoying it?
We’re spoilt. Most venues have more posters than wallpaper. It’s soo easy to ignore the defiance that these collectives conduct themselves with. Consistently low door prices; money directly to the artists; not to mention their unwavering support of the inclusive community of local artists and putting on artists from outside the UK that haven’t sold much more than 50 records let alone pull more than 50 people to their shows.
This is something that’s felt at the nights to - the vibe is very different - especially when the gigs are put on anywhere not just a venue desperate to sell booze while it’s clientele, intent on getting a winch that night, chatter in the front row.
Nothing highlights this defiance and spirit of independence more than their latest project: Music Is The Music Language. The festival is a two day event spread across a number of venues. Involving a ton of artists from the experimental pop of Muscles of Joy, the punk rock of Gummy Stumps to the afro-noise of Cut Hands and guitar goth of Vom.
In a recent interview Fielding and Emily (from Cry Parrot and Tracer Trails respectively) stated that ‘underground music is strongest and most exciting where and when the values of diversity, cooperation, inclusiveness, generosity and fun are most vigorously defended.’ With this statement in mind, the studio will be filled with a bunch of artists and organisers from the festival, all collaborating,
Plus there will be some live recordings from Hype Williams, Ben Butler & Mousepad, Damo Suzuki, Falconry et al. All recorded at past Cry Parrot shows.

theez boyz present galaxian's broken britain mix.
Theez Boyz R Athletes // 27.08.11
With the return of Theez Boyz R Athletes, we thought we'd kick off the new session in suitably bombastic style. And so it is with great pleasure that we invite you to tune in to Galaxian's Broken Britain Mix.
Galaxian's been on our radar for a long time and we're seriously psyched to have secured this exclusive mix from him. We'd recommend you give this a listen, your ears will appreciate it.
Here's the science bit:
'Based in Glasgow, Scotland, the grimey murder capital of Europe provides the perfect environment for Galaxian's distinctive take to the electronic sound.
Influenced by the purveyor's of classic Detroit techno, UK electronica and more recently the myriad hybrid sounds and styles which are now at the forefront of electronic music. His mutant sound incorporates dark atmospherics, quirky and strange electronics, menacing baseline’s and creeping groove's fused with full on, twisted, mind warping hi-tek funk.
With a diverse and varied approach to sound production he fuses a variety of different styles and has found favour with discerning DJs and audiences from genres as diverse as electronica, dubstep , techno and electro. An uncompromising approach and non conformist attitude deliver an ever evolving sound which is at once captivating, innovative and forward thinking.
Currently releasing on a number of well respected labels in the USA and UK. An EP recently released on Napalm Enema Records, an album released to rave reviews on premier electro label Transient Force, upcoming EP on DJ Stingrays label Micron Audio Detroit and a host of other exciting vinyl releases due in 2011. Constantly pushing the musical boundaries, Galaxians unique and iconoclastic style continues to solidify his growing reputation as one of the most exciting artists to emerge in recent times.'

heaters.
It's the first show of a new season, and what better way to kick things off than with 2 hours of hot wax?
Smiddy's been causin' a ruckus all over Scotland for some time now, with residencies at Acid Thunder, Electrikal and Die Late to name a few, anyone who's caught him in action know's that he's only packing the serious heat. Detroit is in the house.
We'll be warming up to that with a selection of tracks gathered over the summer months, expect some after hours electro funk and booty bass.

new catastrophic planetary endgame mix.
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart
A while back, we asked our hopelessly devoted listeners if they had any themes for mixes that they wanted us to tackle.
The first respons was from Victoria Stevenson, who asked for a mix based around travelling into space. Nice and open - it was always going to get apocalyptic! We finally settled on the intergalactic evacuation of all surviving members of the human race after a catastrophic planetary endgame. Sexy.
Somehow, we managed to squeeze 42 tracks into 37 minutes. God knows how. Anyway, free download and all that shit.

the mainstream pop special!
It's a brand new term so me (The Pop Cop) and my co-presenter (Big D) have come up with something a bit different to blast our way back into broadcasting...
We're hosting a one-off Mainstream Pop Special show!
The Pop Cop team spends every waking hour trying to unearth the best music that Scotland has to offer while brain-mushing commercial pop pap is served up on daytime radio to the masses.
HOWEVER... sometimes, very, very, very rarely, along comes a song that is so close to scientific perfection that it can't fail to unite the sheep and the shepherds. You know the sort of thing we're talking about...
Beyonce - Crazy In Love
Sugababes - About You Now
Snap - Rhythm Is A Dancer
For 60 minutes, we invite you to lock away your obscure vinyl, shake the hipster fringe out of your eyes and join us as we celebrate the greatest mainstream pop songs ever made.
They charted... get over it!
Your dad knows all the lyrics... sing along with him!
Someone else probably wrote the song... who cares!
Go wild, go crazy, go POP! (for one hour only)

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 20.08.11
Source Tags & Mixtapes returns for its third series on Subcity.org on the new timeslot of 5-6pm on a Saturday evening. For now, the regular format of the show will continue as normal with a few exceptions here and there.
The first episode of this session takes an exclusive look at the upcoming Airs album "Gloomlights" ahead of its release later on this Autumn. Oh, and while we're on the subject of Autumn: many of the tracks here evoke the atmosphere and mood of that time of year in a number of ways.
I'll be back next week - until then, follow along on Facebook and Twitter to be kept up to date and to receive links to recommended music.
Special thanks to Chris and Aaron from Airs for letting me hear "Gloomlights" so soon.

Ghettophiles isn’t your usual hyped up record label. Run mainly by Matt Frederick, the label has only been around for ‘little over a year’ and was mainly started to put out chicago juke since no one else was. I asked Matt a couple of questions about Ghettophiles. You should also download the new Phil Good EP because I told you too.
How exactly did the label come about? It’s fairly new label isn’t it?
The label came out a little over a year ago. Basically, my friend Neema decided he wanted to start a label focused on the Chicago juke/footwork scene. He was friends with a bunch of the guys already (there's a picture of the Geto DJ'z with him slinking in the back as "DJ Neemah"). All that being said, the first actual Ghettophiles release was a DJ Tameil album... which is bmore and not juke. Go figure.
What made you like this kind of music so much?
I am not from Chicago originally, so juke was pretty unknown to me for a long time. I had heard a few tracks before meeting Neema and not being impressed... then one day we took a road trip and listened to juke for like 3 hours straight. What finally hooked me was DJ Rashad's "Flashing Lights" remix. Of course, what totally hooked me into footwork was actually going to see footwork battles for the first time. It's just raw energy, and as much as I admire Planet Mu for doing the juke/footwork tour, there is still no comparison to actually being at a footwork event.
Juke and footwork has obviously been about for a long time in Chicago, why do you think it has gotten so much attention over the past year or so?
It's just like with house music... house was around for like a decade before France figured out it was good, then the rest of the world decided it was cool. Juke has been around here for awhile, France figured it out, then the UK, and so-on. It's just one of those things that was bound to happen eventually.
What do you think of the new British juke inspired stuff? I’ve found it to be hit or miss.
Chicago juke stuff is also hit-or-miss. Juke is addictive and really fun to make, and I really appreciate people who like to experiment with it. Footwork music, on the other hand, is way more utilitarian. You can't really play around with the formula or else it just doesn't work. We're actually putting out a free e.p. from this dude Melvin who is out of the UK. It's ridiculously good, and I hope to see more people attempt to hit that level of polish.
Is there any rivalry between the artists/DJs? Some of them seem hella aggro.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Yep.
There does seems to a real community vibe within the actual footworking dancing itself, why is this?
Everybody teaches everybody else how to footwork. All the footwork DJ's are/were footwork dancers themselves. It just makes sense, though. What's the fun of footworking if you're the only one who knows how to do it?
What are some of your favourite juke/ghettotech/footwork records and why?
I wish I had favorite records... but there are sooooo many good ones. Or I can just say "4 The Ghetto" by Spinn and Rashad. Out now on Ghettophiles, available everywhere that sells music!
To end it up, who do you think would win in a fight; Dance Mania or Subterranean Playhouse? Night Slugs.

opaque
Fresh from seeing the riot grrrl film 'All Over Me', the penultimate episode of Kaleidoscope (for the summer) starts with a 90s inspired double from Beck and The Breeders. Granted it's not exactly from the same mould as the soundtrack, which features the Sleater Kinney and The Murmurs but I'm saving the riot grrrls for a later date. Throughout the show I talk about a vast amount of visual related content however a Prince trance set off from 'I Would Die for You' paves the way for tracks from Onra and Vanilla. Captivated by the sight of a man swimming in a lake full of jelly fish to the sounds of Radiohead, see here - http://vimeo.com/23079092, the tranquility of his actions synched with 'Nude' are perfect for a Midday Madness Cure. In an episode few of new releases, one stands out from the rest, described as "heartache for the dancefloor" by Numbers, London producer Deadboy samples Bon Iver in his latest track 'Down on Mind'. Finally, Kaleidoscope pays tribute to the late Gil Scott Heron and his wealth of music in Golden Oldies, noting how adaptable his spoken word music was over the decades. Music from Arcade Fire, Nouvelle Vague, Sun Glitters also feature.

harmönia family
“Skweee is modern electronic dance music in all the ways the overtly-polished contemporary club music fails to be” states Randy Barracuda, one of the key figures that took the word skweee from being an in-joke between a handful of artists into a very real music subculture, and onto international renown.
Alongside Mesak, Barracuda has made Harmönia home to an ever expanding number of artists. The label compilations (in a similar vein to Flogsta Danshall’s Museum of Future Sound) have always been at the centre of the label’s identity. A compendium of artists and collaborations from around the world all represented by the multifaceted tag Skweee.
Their latest release is a gate-fold album entitled the Harmönia Family Album, this is no ordinary compilation as Barracuda explains “most of the time compilation albums are just piles of second rate leftover tracks, but that’s not the case with Harmönia. The process of compiling these sixteen tracks took more than six months, since each track was carefully handpicked from a selection of more than hundred songs from around the world.”
This is an international family featuring 12 artists from 7 countries, the youngest in the family is Nero Hetare one the emerging Japanese producers. The elders are some of the most prodigious of the Scandinavian stable, like Joxaren who features on the album with Gibril Jobe as Ransta Congregation. Their track was one of the first to be selected for the album, because as Barracuda explains “we thought of taking the whole thing to the next level and asked our artists to make their own versions of ”ethnic” music...the idea took off like a lazer beam in an Ethiopian desert.”

interview: randy barracuda
Like many artists, Barracuda isn’t simply a producer, IRL he is Perttu Häkkinen, broadcaster on Finland’s national “youth” station YleX, and a columnist for HS.fi. Currently on vacation in Batumi on the coast of Black Sea, I sent Randy Barracuda some questions about the differences between Perttu and Randy, his new record B-Side Music and Stalin.
5 years of Harmönia... Wow! Why did you start the label?
Me and Tatu (Mesak) just thought that Flogsta Danshall needed a serious rival!
What has been some of the best moments you’ve had playing with the Harmönia crew?
Sitting in a basement in Stockholm and watching a gay prostitute desperately trying to pick up Joxaren. And Sonar 2008 of course. And Russia, Sweden, Germany, United States...Too many to mention.
What does family mean to you?
Hard to say.
Who are your brothers and sisters?
When it comes to bloodline my big sister Sanna and my big brother Sami. If we talk in a spiritual context I have to name all these Skweee guys as well as lot of my old friends. Sometimes I also feel brotherhood to animals. Especially to cats and squids.
What is/what happens at a family occasion?
When I spend time with my biological relatives we normally have a drink and eat good and then we start fighting about something that happened ten years ago. Inside the Harmönia family we don't fight that much. Maybe me and Tatu once in a while.
Why did you decide to call the latest Harmönia record a Family Album instead of giving it the tag: “compilation”?
Because we wanted to thank all our artists and show their faces to public.
Do you think Harmönia and some of the other so called Skweee labels cultivate a sense of community or family, if so why do you think this is?
I think so, because it still is a revolutionary movement destroying the conventions of boring and safe electronic music. Skweee artists and fans usually are very weird, but intelligent individuals with a macabre sense of humour. I guess that's one of the reasons. The other reason is that one artist's success or misfortune is everybody's success or misfortune, we don't compete against each other but together.
You are working on a new record, what can we expect?
Space age cripple funk. Songs about the garden of Eden, diggin' in the digital and masturbation.
How does it fit into the Randy Barracuda cannon of compact funk?
It's the next step, the challenging second album that will sell 93 copies and make me a total outsider.
You worked with Michael Black Electro, Mama Africa and the Afro B on the last record and there are a few songs on the new record that feature a singer. Is this you? If it is (and I very much hope it is)...what made you decide to sing on this record? If it's not who is the singer and why did you decide to work with them?
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it's definitely not me. It is still "angel of Helsinki" Michael Black Electro. I swear if you would hear me singing you wouldn't sleep for few nights. The two analogue talkboxes on the record are played by Olli, a breakdance legend from the world famous Flow Mo Crew.
Will there be a lyric sheet on this album?
I guess not. I treat human voice like it was just one instrument among others.
The new record is called B-Side Music, is this a reference to your statement that Skweee is like the b-side of music?
Yes.
Whats the differences between Randy Barracuda and the broadcaster, journalist and columnist Perttu Häkkinen?
The genes are same, but the tasks are different. In the end it's all about human communication and enlightenment. I have to say that journalism is far more risky business than playing music. So far I've been locked in a prison meeting room with an angry scissor murderer, who's trying to kill a guy, I've been in the middle of a gang-police shootout and interviewed people from druglords to copshooters.
Do you have any other aliases you wish you reveal?
Visa Electro.
You have your own radio show in Finland, how did you get involved with this and what is you try to do with this show?
The head honcho of Finnish national radio's youth channel asked me to do something. In the show I'm interviewing people and playing a large variety of music that would never otherwise reach the ears of Finnish public: Skweee, world music, funk, punk, noise, electro, ghetto house, minimal wave, italo disco, country and western, euro techno, afro, ambient, crunk, reggae, dubstep, schlager etc.
I use google translate to translate your column, unfortunately the results haven’t been completely satisfactory. What kind of things do you cover in you column?
Sex, politics, drugs, history, philosophy, theology, science, graffiti, opera, freedom of speech...You name it. I normally get a lot of feedback of my writings which is nice. Once I wrote about the pope protecting child rapists and received a hateful letter from the head of Finnish Catholic Center. He demanded a public apology and also forwarded his threat to the main editor of the newspaper. I wrote him back saying I won't apologize to an organization whose protecting itself instead of the innocent. I also told him that Jesus don't accept behaviour like that either, haha!
But, don't get me wrong, I'm equally ruthless to all double standard religions and cultures. I love people, but sometimes I think they need a kick in the ass.
You have just returned from a trip to Joseph Stalin's birth place. Is this something you've wanted to do for a long time? What is it that you find fascinating about Joseph Stalin? Is there anything you admire about Joseph Stalin?
And at the moment I'm hangin' out in Batumi on the coast of Black Sea where Stalin used to relax after slaughtering 10 000 000 peasants. Since I was a child I found dictators fascinating, especially Hitler and Stalin. I was always fascinated by history. I can't say I admire anything in Stalin, but the fact he got 60 000 000 people killed in the name of communism is absurd.
Have you ever drunk the perfect beer?
I like beer but I'm more of a vodka drinker. Aura is the best!
….About your previous question "what family means to me?" I forgot to mention my sexy wife!

interview: joxaren
I interviewed musician and film maker David Giese about his work as Joxaren and his involvement with the documentary We Call It Skweee. He was waiting on his car being fixed in a garage in Stockholm.
In We Call It Skweee you're in a car on your way to Fran’s (aka Pavan’s) studio with some of your recordings? Is this the same car?
That’s the one I’m fixing right now. I’m trying to get it sold. I bought a new one, I’m fixing the brakes now before I sell it off. Which is a shame because I love that car, but it’s impossible to have two of them and it’s a drag in winter having a car that starts one time out of three.
Why did you decide to make the documentary We Call It Skweee? What was the impetus behind that?
Actually it wasn’t my idea initially, it was the other guy Iacopo. We were working at the same production house in Stockholm. He was working on Videocracy which is a documentary about Berlusconi and corruption, I was working on this type of sci-fi animated movie called Metropia, both were made by the same production house. We meet there and after a while it turned out that we had some shared interests, one of them being dubstep.
I thought he might be interested, so i took him to a skweee show. He was soo into it, he said it was more interesting than anything he had ever worked with back in Italy. Then Nordic MTV were interested in covering our show at Sonar in Barcelona, so they wanted a cameraman to come with us, so we made them pay for his trip to Barcelona.
Before that, he started working with the camera a little bit, working on some rehearsal bits. Then the rumour spread that he was working on a skweee documentary and after a while the rumour outgrew his original plan - so he just had to pull it through.
One of the things I took from the documentary and Harmonia calling their latest record a family album instead of a compilation, is the sense of community the artists and labels making so called Skweee music have?
Definitely. I think it’s the most important part of the whole scene. That's the perfect ideal in this particular state, when we eventually decided to call the music style something, whats happens is we become members of the same community instead of competitors. You know like, here's this guy making 8-bit hip-hop dancehall music and there this other guy doing it, who's the best? Instead its like we are all the same, saying do you like skweee, or don’t you?
It has turned out to be quite a perfect move after this word came up, we tried to work with that instead of ignoring the fact that people were calling it that. Its really a big community and that’s a nice thing. It’s growing over the world. It’s a lot of friendship, I gotto say.
I’ve been in the music business a long time and there’s always competition and bad vibes, beef ya know, but in skweee there is no such thing. It’s really just everyone really happy about people making skweee, every time a new artists shows up everyone is really happy about it, there are no bad feelings.
It does feel like a big family. There is only one problem with it, the family is just men ya know. There are too few girls, I mean really there should be much more girls making skweee music.
Are there none?
Yeah, there a few DJs and there’s this American girl Belle E Belle who is making Skweee music, but she hasn’t released anything so far. One half of the Canadian band Miramichi is a girl. Not many really.
Then there’s Mrs Qeada who turned out to be a guy, and Stilitsina could have been a girl, but its a Finnish guy - so what ya gonna do? I'm always hoping for some female skweee producer, I think it would be really interesting. I don't know why its only men, it’s the only thing boring about this nerdy culture
The track on the Harmonia Family album that your involved with goes under the name Ransta Congregation. It’s a collaboration. Who is it with and why did you decide to collaborate for this one? Is this a new project you’re working on?
That project wasn’t supposed to be associated with skweee at all. Its a thing I do with an old time friend of mine, who is originally from Gambia, but we've been playing music together since 1995 or something. Gibril Jobe is his name.
We’ve been in different projects, a few years back we had a big West African electro project, with some guys playing Kora and percussion and me with an MPC. It was really nice but hard to contain, hard to keep up rehearsals and gigs because these guys were spread all over the planet. We narrowed it down to just the two of us.
I’ve always been fascinated with rhythmic structures and I get a lot of inspiration from non-western music. I don’t listen to that much club music at all. I like a lot of African music, a lot of Eastern European, a lot of Gypsy music and Indian music. It’s all there, its the same basically. It’s more inspiring listening to the music that is further away from the stuff you do than what is right next to you.
I DJ’d this track in Berlin along with Tatu, he recorded this session. Then Pertuu heard it too, these are the guys that run Harmonia...so they were like...”ok yeah! lets take this track and build a compilation around it...lets make a compilation with a bit more ethnic sounding skweee music”. So my track was actually the first one to be assigned to this album.
It was kinda funny, I really tried to make a project that wasn’t supposed to be skweee and then it ended up on a skweee compilation.
...more of this interview will be available from Saturday 24th.

zane hunter selects some good stuff
Zane Hunter has been a friend and fan of Soulful Allsorts for a good number of years. He listens in using whilst studying for his accountancy exams and let's us know when the Subcity broadcast quality dips (usually because Felonious has forgotten to blow the fluff off the stylus). He has also come in and helped produce the show in the absence of Felonious.
He is soul fan not restricted to any particular soul genre but it's a treat for presenter Fraser Dunn and fans of the show when he brings in a box of records usually accompanied by some food (Usually made by his partner Fiona.)
Anyway her's a reminder of his first appearance on Soulful Allsorts from 2009.

#9 autopsy protocol
Eduard Catafal Abril, aka Autopsy Protocol, is an enigmatic producer hailing from Barcelona. Eduard creates industrialised breakcore and gabber, which always teeters into noise and cybergrind territory. What’s formulated is an intense and uncompromising composition of head splicing Kaoss pad frequencies and heavily distorted, synthesized bass drums set to constantly changing, angular speeds. Vocal samples tend to be dark in content but still keeping with that humorous element that’s apparent in most breakcore, albeit far, far darker. Autopsy Protocol has released on Lost frog and Sociopath recordings, as well as running his own netlabel Day of the Droids.
The mix he sent us is a frenetic mix of old Dutch gabber and speedcore, entangled with mutant industrial and hardcore.
FUCKIN AVE IT!

alan beattie and soul on uk labels
If you ever check out a Northern Soul DJ's record box you'd think they never released soul records in the UK. The typical hot box contains seven inch singles with bright coloured labels and record companies with strange sounding and even more strangely spelled names. They have large holes and might be made from polystyrene. However in the sixties whilst you could buy singles on import from say Gloria's Record Bar or High Street Tops in Glasgow several UK companies issued them on black labels with UK spellings and push out or solid centre labels such as London or Stateside, or the red and yellow of Pye International. That was after they let Cilla, Dusty and Lulu pick the best of the USA girl group sounds. Smaller labels such as Sue (Island), Ember, Pama reached deals with US producers and labels to issue climbers on the R&B Charts before the major labels wakened. A profit could be turned on the sales of 500 singles and if you were lucky you might have a Harlem Shuffle or Feel Love Comin' On flying off the shelves at the one stop.
Anyway we managed to persuade a collector of these pressed on decent vinyl artefacts to come in and have them played. Alan Beattie is a soul fan not a DJ. He collects records because he likes them not because they're rare (and some of them are) and not because they fill a dance floor. There's two hours of great American soul released on UK labels in this show.

trance farmers / not not fun
We all have our own list of musical bugbears, whether it’s the hyper-compressed “never been louder!!” mastering of some 90s metal CDs, or the coked up uber-masculinity that often plagues 808 boom-bap. Amongst these, you would surely place the sound of surf guitar and vinyl scratches on one song, well...lighten up because that's way too reductive for Trance Farmers. His EP isn’t something to listen to with the usual rationale, its filled with slow cosmic jams, the hiss of vinyl, rockabilly boogie and Busta Ryhmes. Surprisingly, none of this feels like pastiche or gimmicky, its more akin to the playful cut and paste mixtape stylings that Jib Kidder had going on with All on Y’all.
The Boston native is now based in LA, a city getting pinned as being an almost utopic centre for collaboration, alluring beat production and esoteric pop. Trance Farmer’s £LVI§ ? JÅPÅN mixtape highlights some of the music being made in the city, with a pysch trip through Matthewdavid, Daedelus and some other weirdo electronics. We continued this vein on this episode with some tracks from distros and artists that mine a similar dark wave hyperactive palette, diverting via some electronic boogie with Jonwayne’s vocoder yoodle and a track from the forthcoming Niño EP out on Donky Pitch to keep in bubblin.
Vibe label of the moment Not Not Fun features heavily, interview with Britt from the label below.
How would you describe Not Not Fun?
Not Not Fun's an LA-based record label with a thousand eyes and hobbies. What we like is always changing but we're never lacking for new weird sounds to love on and obsess over and support.
What is your role in Not Not Fun, do you own it or curate it?
Me and Amanda own & run NNF together. We curate together, or take turns, depending on our moods and the particular project.
A number of your releases have been collaborative, this is also true of another label based in LA (i.e. Human Ear Music), do you feel that Not Not Fun is somehow part of cultivating a home of collaboration in LA?
A large part of the joy of music as an art form is that it can function socially (unlike writing for instance), so to not engage the collaborative possibilities seems like wasted potential to us. Right now we're living in the age of the solo project, which is fine (it's just a little less romantic than the band/collective concept), but collabs can be a real thrill when they're done right. I wouldn't say it's something we consciously seek out, but maybe we're drawn to them more than I realize?
A lot of Not Not Fun records have been released on cassette, what is it about this format that you find interesting?
Its humility -- and near-indestructability! Too many things break too easy, and neither Amanda nor I take care of our collections/objects that carefully, so it's awesome how rugged tapes are. The sound is sick too.
Are there particular attitudes you frequently encounter towards your music (whether as an artist yourself, or as being part of a label that distributes music)?
Every day. I find a lot of music fans get really annoyed by new bands/albums/scenes, etc, because they feel like they can't "keep up" with it all, so they're extra-quick to write shit off and disregard it. Which is stupid, cause there's no pressure to know everything about every release that comes out, obviously. People sometimes complain about NNF being "too prolific;" I just think that's goofy -- we're a record label, we put out records, that's like our 'thing,' you know? We like to put out as much rad music as we can afford to. Why not? Life's short and there's so much amazing art, screw being a cold-eyed gatekeeper.
What does the term DIY mean to you?
Doing things the real way. By humans, for humans.
Do you have any bugbears with particular approaches to creating music?
I'm not too familiar with the term 'bugbears' but I'll assume it's a negative thing? I like when bands come across as having actual personalities as people, rather than just some goal-based art project. Also I'm not hugely fond of excess professionalism in music; I find it rarely produces better things.
What is it about the 7” that you love?
I like their size, and the idea of framing one small sliver of music; it's like framing a sketch rather than a full finished painting. I will say I don't listen to 7 inches very often. I don't like to get up and mess with the turntable so often!
What are the best/worst things about running a label?
Best: hearing radical new music before it's even been released. Worst: the impatience and anger yr faced with doing customer service. There's a lot of people looking to vent, and a label ends up on the receiving end of that too frequently.
Where do you buy records?
Mainly I trade with other labels and bands. And there's some cool LA bargain-bin kind of spots where me and Amanda dig through abandoned dusty records for 50 cents a piece. Not all old records are valuable, and it's fun being able to make impulse purchases when the stakes are so low. In general I think most vinyl is overpriced.
What was the last piece of technology to inspire you?
My Alesis drum machine.

amerika
For our last show before the summer break, we focus on the country of the United States of America.
With the help of music about and from U.S.A., as well as our American friend, Ben, we try to understand the stereotypes that surround the country, and discuss how real they really are.
Hope you enjoy the show, and thanks for listening throughout the year.

awkward sons - 3 new mixes!
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart
Alrite you slavering sociopaths, since we've been off the air, we've been mostly toying with our arses.
In between that, though, we've been doing you up three hefty new mixes, covering wildly skewed 80s dub, psychedelic dada-influenced drone, obscure French anarcho electro, cavernous Japanese psych, David Lynch soundtracks and minging industrial techno.
You could ask for more but you'd get a fucking slap.

#8 vlek
Vlek are three 30-year old boys who have spent the good part of the last 10 years promoting Belgian artists and music in various structures, Boups, Unrezt/Thin Consolation, Radio Campus Bruxelles, Radio Panik etc. In the summer of 2009 they decided to team up and create Vlek. According to Julien from the label “the first goal with the label was to try and give a few Belgian artists the exposition they deserved, we have so many great artists in this country”, they spent a year finding the funding to do that right, at the Wallonia/Brussels federation they found the financial support they needed, and thanks to a deal they locked with Köln's Kompakt they secured worldwide distribution too.
Deciding to make small runs of vinyl, all home-crafted with care, they came up with the idea of the split 7”s. These compilations of 7"s feature a Belgian and a better-know "international" artist on each side. The first volume featuring Cupp Cave & Dem Hunger sold out, only a few remain of the second featuring Squeaky Lobster & Lapti - you can hear both volumes on Soundcloud. The next pair of AMAI 7"s are out in the Autumn.
From Vlek this summer is Cupp Cave's Dice Pool, the cover was made with a letterpress, elbow grease and some 576 dice - you check the craftsmanship involved on their Flickr. Next week they are releasing an EP from Squeaky Lobster, consisting of his older tracks that badly needed an output on vinyl. It's called 'Will-o'-the-Wisp' and is available via their website - as is all their other releases.
Expect another 12" by Squeaky Lobster, and a 12" from another Belgian producer Sagat later in the year, but for now you can hear what the label is all about on this exclusive mix by Lowdjo featuring some of the label’s forthcoming releases.

at the talkies // domino records and ten tracks
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 22.06.11
Amongst the usual fare of film and industry events at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, this year they have been hosting a new strand, Sound Tracks. Events have ranged from open discussions through to the expected film and documentaries (even a Kings of Leon flick for the kids) as well as regular club nights throughout the fortnight (appearances from Den Haan, Hushpuppy and Rustie (LuckyMe) at the end of this week).
Bringing with them a bunch of ideas, Domino Records are up in Edinburgh for a variety of events that are taking place. Label artists have been working in collaboration with filmmakers to bring us a series of creative live music and film events such as Shadow Shows with Pram in collaboration with Film Ficciones. As well as events like these they are hosting Cut & Paste on Thursday, 23rd June, a demonstration of how to cut music and film together alongside a discussion about how the relationship between filmmaker and musician can be nurtured.
Ten Tracks are also getting involved with Music Pictures, a one-off event on Friday, 24th June. Artists including Iona Marshall, R M Hubbert, Found and Kid Canaveral have each invited filmmakers to create original films for one of their tracks. The winning films will be selected by the artists and shown accompanied by live performance on the night.
Gareth and Nick spoke to some of those involved.

Apologies to anybody expecting a show to go out last Friday, due to crossed wires it could not be broadcast.
That was the last episode of The School of Song, so I just want to extend a big thank you to everybody who's tuned in during 2010-11. I've had loads of fun doing it and hope it's been a good listen.
Special thanks go to Iain Hepburn, Tom Brogan, Chris Murray, Francesca Scott and Matt Connelly for their support during the year.

xander harris interview / 100% silk / not not fun
Xander Harris has been making music for around 15 years, he recently released I Want More Than Just Blood on Amanda from Not Not Fun’s new dance label 100% Silk. I Want More Than Just Blood consists of some sweet dancefloor jams with a big 90s horror vibe. Imagine running through a field in pink neon leggings to the sound of Hellraiser and you’ve just about got it.
This episode will features an interview with Justin Sweatt (aka Xander Harris) about his record Urban Gothic, synthesisers and being awkward in clubs - something which we can all relate too. This guy knows his synths and has a lot of love for Chris & Cosy and Skinny Puppy.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 09.06.11
This is the last episode of the session. I've made this one a two hour show, split into two parts. The first takes the format of a regular episode with the normal features, whereas the second part is more freeform, with established show favourite artists/labels/genres popping up. It's been fun, and I hope to return with Source Tags & Mixtapes sooner rather than later. I hope you've enjoyed listening.
A few more things:
Watch the stunning video for "Sleeping Heart", a track from this week's recommended record here.
Get the new Mamaleek album as a pay-what-you-want download here.
I'll still be updating the Facebook page with recommended/free music and other things which may interest you. You can 'like' it over here.

Yes, for a full 100 hours (and then some) over the past nearly-three years, Left Of The Dial has tantalised your eardrums with its own unique mix of cross-genre pollination and beardy intellectualising, and this week is no exception, with tracks from established show favourites Arab Strap, Yo La Tengo and Kanye West sitting side by side with stuff from Silver Apples, Liquid Liquid, Thundercat and Amerie.

teleportation ~ glances { matthewdavid interview }
It's the final broadcast of 2010 / 11.
````````````````````````````````
Before I decide to hop through one portal and out through another into unfamiliar realms for the duration of the summer, I'm really excited to leave us with an interview from the sui generis of beatmakers to emerge from Los Angeles. The wonderfully enigmatic, Leaving Record's founder, Matthewdavid whose "Outmind" LP - which is released on Flying Lotus's Brainfeeder label - is one of 2011's most beautifully crafted records released this year.
ººººººººººººººººººººººº ººººººººººººººººººººººº
As the tide recedes, emerging from the uncomfortably ferocious dense clutches of the oceans stormy waves whilst resting softly, submerged under a thick blanket of microscopic entities within a vast and fragile underwater empire is the gentle hibernation of Outmind.
````````````````````````````````
Once ready to flourish into the ether it gently thrives along the naturally winding movement of the ocean floor interlacing it’s tender fins in between water droplet bubbles, graceful currents, and the passing inhabitants of the barriers peculiar array of species. Outmind represents the gaze of the sun’s luminous reflections upon the inhabitats scales, shimmering and tinkering softly from one organism to the other. Outmind represents the collective memories of coral families upon the shores of land. Outmind represents the tangible sense of touch from one individual to another. Outmind is scattered amongst us. Outmind is belief.
````````````````````````````````
Matthewdavid is the embodiment of diversity, a kind of optimistic energy that shines through from his experiences with Dublab, Brainfeeder, Poo-Bah Records, Low End Theory, and other active hives of creativity within the Los Angeles vicinity. The full spectrum of his work from the awe-inspiring lo-fi, dispersion on the cassette tape releases which are filled with a deep, reverberating sound on his Leaving Records imprint to the visually contented direction of the images that emanate upon each recording gives the music an additional layer of heightened self-awareness.
````````````````````````````````
His approach to creating and distributing music conveys a warm, pleasurable sensation which radiates through his precise attention to detail by focusing on what many would consider to be perhaps trivial and mundane aspects of life by focusing on the intricate sounds of our everyday surroundings through the use of sound collages and field recordings and nourishing it’s fullest potential and tapping into a lush, sonic wooziness of our deepest, most transcendental desires.
ººººººººººººººººººººººº ººººººººººººººººººººººº
Matthew kindly sent me some links for you to enjoy as well. The first link is part one of a 49 minute live transmission, as apart of Dublab Radio's - TURNING ON TOMORROW Proton Drive! - it is also available to download as well.

MESSI NEVER DIVES. MESSI NEVER DIVES. MESSI NEVER DIVES. STARDUST IN THEM THERE BOOTS.
Sooo... it's like this. Ever had a dream about Andres Iniesta covered in blood after a particularly nasty clash of heads with recently retired Espanyol legend Ivan De La Pena? Statistically, you probably have. Just variables and that innit. Freduian variables mate. So yeah, I had a dream like that, but it turns out I must be into violent blood caked gay bukkake, coz at the end of the dream Iniesta popped one out all over De La Pena's face... eeeehhhh??? Woke up from that one pretty sharpish, I can tell you.
So all week I reckon I'm probably gay. Which is totally cool. I never liked straig.................................................................................................................................................................................
.............................................. nah, what? Thought I'd lost all them files in the great external hard drive says no comedown of 2010! Serious! There they all are again, all them reissues from 2010 that I had a serious thing for way back last year (remember them days? WHEN PILLS WERE PILLS. WHEN IT WAS A FIVER TO GET INTO ANY CLUB. WHEN WIMPY WAS KING OF THE FUCKING HIGH STREET)... so what better way to prove my total hetero-supremacist street cred than by polishing off this bottle of rose and heading up to the studio to attempt to meld together all that fractured once forgotten synthwave numbers with those wacked out vanguard House pummelers... the two most stridently MACHO genres of them all. Just so you are DEFINITLEY sure that I'm not gonna try and join your military and leave my safety catch off while I eye up Private Wilsons sweet sweet ass, I'm gonna drop some new stuff by Pascal Nichols (Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides) and that wild industrio-horror tech thing what Regis did under his own name with that other bloke once.
AND FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE SHOW? It's only fucking Vickie Charmicarmicat (polymath and that... artist, bringer of pain in DIVORCE, booty mangling WAVEY GRAVES cat) with her insanely handy "Tangled Mains and Fiber" mix... THIS is how you put together a mix, y'all are gonna whisper into your cats ear. Put it this way: She starts off with Delia Derbyshire. She ends up at Ultra Eczema's doorstep, all ragged and bleary, like Behan out of a Belshill bush. That good.
"TANGLED MAINS AND FIBER" Mixed by Vickie Charmicarmicat:
1. Delia Derbyshire - blue veils and golden sands // BBC 2. Bad Boy - shooty // animal fact
3. Doggs - centipede stationary // animal fact
4. Wolf Eyes - ancient delay // subpop
5. Doggs - tongue hole // animal fact
6. Unicorn Hard-on - gold pony // self released
7. The Minty - slipstream 2 channel 9 // animal fact
8. Guam River - map3 // ultra eszcema
9. Unicorn Hard-on - in the fix of the fox // [tanzprocesz]
10. Can't - the sun the sky the world // ultra eszcema
11. Black Vomit - constdecnt // rusty axe
12. Can't - butterfly collector // ultra eszcema

soaring surface embers { 2 hour special }
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Me and Fergus have been granted a lengthy slot tonight for the penultimate broadcast before summer. We are both going to be in charge of the Subcity airwaves for a full 120 minutes. With some other friends joining us in the studio as well. Dare I say it, but we're even going to use the decks for the first time as I'm finally going to brave walking from Scotstoun all the way to the studio with some of my favorite records. So I'm dreading the thought of them being stolen from me!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
_______________________________________
so here's a brief synopsis for the music we're going to play and what it conjures up this time
_______________________________________
Soaring through the extremities of parallel embers within touching distance of the cosmos’s electrically charged, cataclysmic central position where the fulcrum of timelines of the past and future interlock beside the three barren pyramidal islands.
Whilst enduring shattered faces, transparently brittle bone structures, the consistency of syrup like gloopy-mushy mush, acid squelch mass, and abnormally distorted twisted shapes.
He searches for a prisoner caught within a sphere. The animal who revels in his enormous physical strength. A cultivator who constantly nurtured the nature of his surroundings. A golden coated vain and brazen sprinter. A collector fascinated with different species. And finally a cunning and deceitful intellect.
We’ve descended upon a cavernous battle on top of a chess board in amongst a plain and desolate desert. Reduced to the size of a particle and avoiding the treacherous optical rays that are being ferociously charged from the mightily powerful hands of the bearer of a semiprecious magical stone.
And all of this culminates in the devious capture of this semiprecious magical stone in order to take control of one half of the universe’s living entities. All six were required. All six were captured into his possession. All six grant the resurrected tyrant conscious longevity.

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 02.06.11
So, my genitally absurd co-host (Tony, obviously) is laying low till the heat dies down, which means you've got an hour of bone-withering subterranean minge straight from my dangerously bowed shelves later on. Horrific, eh? Let's just get through it as quickly as possible.
Expect everything from hermetic Moroccan spiritualism to digitally butchered NLP aggression. You know the score by now. 11pm, innit?

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 03.06.11
Although his producer Harry has betrayed him by heading off to Cornwall for a weekend in the surf, Vile has taken this week's show very seriously. He is digging out tracks by Can and Lydia Lunch to preview upcoming gigs, inviting guest presenters from the worlds of contemporary dance and science fiction, buffing up his interviews with the cast of the NTS' Dunsinane and extending invitations to Flatrate Theatre, The Virginia Gallery, Nick Spaghetti (who is bringing North American War ) and Andrea Marini. As usual, he takes Harry's holiday as an excuse to overload the Hour.

the.revolution.will.not.be.televised
The final episode of Funky Junk, before the summer break, sees a Beatles inspired 6 degrees, going from Fats Domino through to John Lee Hooker. Vintage vinyl also returns, along with a whole host of other artists including The Coasters, Frankie Valli, Cream, Charles Wright, and The Primates. Also, melancholy music from the film 'Blue Valentine', and a selection of tracks from the late, great, Gil Scott-Heron.
" You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl. The revolution will not go better with Coke. The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath. The revolution will put you in the driver's seat. "

It's the penultimate show of the session this week. Listen in for some atmospheric, moody music from home recording heroes Airs and Have A Nice Life, a new song by Godspeed You! Black Emperor spokesman Efrim Menuck, and a recommended record by Portishead. I also find myself onboard with Liturgy and 65daysofstatic, despite my initial gripes. I think this one went pretty well. You be the judge, though.
See you next week for the finalé.

i can't go for that (let's talk shop)
Have you ever noticed that some disco songs have quite banal phrases concealed in their titles? We have.
Have you ever had a haircut that makes you look simultaneously like King Henry VII, Wayne Campbell, a member of the Brady Bunch and all four of the Ramones? We have.
Have you ever done a show that features songs from Let's Wrestle, David Shrigley, the Fall and the Ravonettes? We have.
Have you ever started writing show news in a stupid way and realised you're going to have to stick to the format even though it's dragging on for several paragraphs and isn't that funny?
We have.

end of season
Sadly it's got to that time of year again... Subcity is drawing to a close for the term, and Beat Beneath has just one last show before the summer downtime. It's going to be a rather good one - brand new music from the likes of Truncate, Argy and Zentex alongside some recent favourites and oldies-but-goodies. The schedule doesn't stop til the 15th but your presenter will be happily sunning himself in Barcelona by that point and gearing up for some seriously good music at Sonar ;)
The show will of course be back as soon as possible, watch this space and as always keep an eye on the Facebook - fb.com/beatbeneath - which will be updated regularly with general music chat, nightlife recommendations and even the odd DJ mix if you really need to get your fix...

Sam is back on Scottish soil to join Shaun and the rest of the vitamins crew in the studio for a 2 hour special dedicated to the Glasgow institution of Thursday nights up The Arty.
Featuring interviews and selections from Dema from Freakmoves, Hushpuppy from Record Playerz, Ben from Mixed Bizness, Andrew Devine and Felonious Munk; this is a documentation of 30 years of dancing in the soon to be demolished and much loved Vic Bar.
Also joining Shaun & Sam in the studio is vitamins family member S-Type who will be previewing some of his new material ahead of his set at The Vitamins Art School Takeover this Thursday.
How many £1 pints of Tennent's have you consumed over the years? ? What was your favourite era, guest, night? Bob or Brian?
Note: Apologies for the sound quality during the first hour. We managed to fix it by flipping the on/off swtich while having a 30 second silence for the Art School's passing.

exclusive - shifted (mote evolver/avian)
As this years broadcast are shortly coming to a close we bring you YET ANOTHER exclusive mix from the depths of the techno world!
Shrouded in anonymity, Shifted’s productions are fuelled by a personal passion for techno.
A passion that represents an earnest expression of creativity from an enigmatic artist; freed from the restrictions of expectation and reputation. Shifted, whose identity is, for the time being, classified, but whose pedigree cannot be questioned. The debut on Luke Slater’s high-flying Mote Evolver imprint speaks for itself. His own label AVIAN has just released it's first ep to critical acclaim with much more to follow!

Animal Hospital Monthly Check-up // 30.05.11
Aloha radio world! contrary to the vicious rumour that we may have started, last month was not our final show, this is.
It's worked out well though as now we have time to showcase our good friend and music making machine Nick Dow. Nick is a resident at Animal Hospital. He breaks the mould in terms of a clubbing experience by lovingly hand crafting each set with only his own music, something which has really struck a chord with the Animal Hospital faithful and his closing set last month will be remembered for years to come.
We're stoked to have Nick in the studio today to play us out of what has been a wonderful year.
We promise this is the last show, we shall endeavour to return after the summer with bells on, all our bells.
Thanks again for listening to our wild ravings.

he looks so truthful - is this how he feels?
This week: there's no completing the jigsaw puzzle that is Bob Dylan (especially since he seems to keep changing the picture), so consider this our attempt to at least get the corners in place. As one of the most important artists of the 20th century in any medium turns 70, we go a little deeper than "Like A Rolling Stone" to try to piece together how one man has made it his life's work to fully embody every aspect of the old, weird America in music and lyrics. On air at 2pm, on listen again thereafter.

straight off the decks at the flying duck
The Flying Duck is at the corner of Renfield Street just up from The Atholl Arms and down from The Herald office or so I thought when I turned up last Saturday night. But no, Ishould have round the corner at the Kitchen Bar in Renfield Court. Down the stairs into a quirky lounge obviously part of the Flying Duck but a much more cosy lay out. No obvious dance floor but there never is with The Soul Cellar run by Stephen Scanlon and Trevor Bond. A decent sound system and a pair of Technics and a Mackie mixer.
The sixty minutes on today's Funky cuts is an extract from the two sets I played. I hope to edit Stephen's for the last Funky cuts. You'll hear an hour of mostly up tempo Funky soul.
The next Soul Cellar is in The Kitchen Bar of The Flying Duck in Renfield Court from eight. Entry before eleven is free and it's six pounds after midnight which gives you entry to Singles night in the main club.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 27.05.11
The bleeping of texts throughout this episode was part of Vile's campaign to encourage live listeners to text in their reviews of the shows.
This was the most positive one.
"I have been told to switch off the radio now, or else one of my colleagues is going to break my legs and he has described it as a "very, very strange listening experience."
Also features a new, retitled version of John Cage's classic 4 mins 33, now scored for two radio presenters, a studio and audience.

On tonights show we've got the usual mix of new D&B releases and some old school classics.

The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 27.05.11
Well here we are, the end of a (short) era, as The All Day Cheeky Breakfast draws to a close for the year. As Terry Jack or Westlife might say - we've had joy, we've had fun, we've had seasons in the sun, and today we celebrate past episodes, along with lots of the usual features you have come to love/loathe.
A cracking game of Defend the Indefensible, a cheekily insestuous Teen Talk, the news in brief, cheeky tunes and much more besides form a fitting farewell to a cheeky year.
Stay tuned to our showpage (www.subcity.org/shows/cheekybreakfast) and our facebook for news about some summertime specials, more live appearances and about our new show, coming to your ears this September.
Have a great summer, dear listeners:-

First three contributors tomorrow get all the phone numbers of every girl I know. Trust me, they can't do much worse than you lot. Growlers, the lot of them.

Can you believe it? We've got only three more shows before Subcity breaks for the summer, what are we going to do between 6-7pm every Wednesday now huh? Naturally we need to make the last three count and tonight's episode was straight fiyah...
Starting off on some deep Moombahsoul vibes we went through future Hip Hop heat from Peace & AC, tricked out Dubstep from Dillon Francis, smooth House grooves from Ooft! and HaHaHa before our incredibly addictive Blog Burner from Drake - sampling Jai Paul no less. The Tea Time Rave Off was all about the 2011 House rhythms and our Local Hero Award was closely contested between Milton Jackson, Simon Stokes and Julius Funkhouser..

guest mix from audiosyncracy
This week we have a guest mix from Audiosyncracy. Check out the blurb for more info.
Audiosyncracy is the work of Northern Irish Dj Nate Thompson. Often collaborating with long time co-creator Rob Swain, the two worked closely together during the mid-late 1990’s when they both contributed to the output of Fresco Recordings. Pioneers in their local arena they pushed quality vinyl in many of Belfast’s clubs and bars throughout the 90’s.
There’s been some exceptional solo material on several independent EP’s, tracks on obscure compilations and remixes to boot. ‘1997’ is a collection of the work produced in that year, most of which was up until recently unavailable. Now signed to gamma Proforma he had three releases last year with new material in the pipeline, expected to be released late 2011 on Gamma Proforma www.gammaproforma.com

basement reels and we are all listening!
Gianni is back from the basement and I went exploring the attic looking for rare and new material to bring to you here on echolalia.
Snogs, David Thrussell brings us a painfully aggressive poem 'The Chewing Gum of Hate' Sean M Welan ropes in a heart felt piece about love in 'Sweet Cowboy' and Archibald MacLeish poem as relevant today as when it was written The Two Priests.
Musically Lou Reed delivers a rare version of 'Caroline Says' which we absolutely love! Plus Crooner Dave Graney, Rock Prophet Nick Cave with the barely heard 'Dead the passage of Jesus' and the ever present Magnetic Fields.
So basically boxes and boxes of L.Ps we brought out of storage so come on in grab a coffee the kettles hot and there's wine in the fridge.
Grab a seat, listen up we're just blowin scenes and minds.

This week: Ever get the urge to crash that fucking airplane that that [so and so] B.O.B. is in? To stab Bruno Mars in his goddamn oesophagus? To not stop until the cops come in? Well, worry not, because we've got some Tyler, The Creator on the go, as well as Buck 65, Kanye, Jay-Z, The Roots and more. You should maybe still try to find a therapist who's fuckin' awesome with listenin', though.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 20.05.11
"Let's have a little look at this playlist, shall we?" Phil Kennedy smiled. Catching Vile as he left the studio ("If I must," he complained. "But I have Virginia Kennard's sharing at the CCA, the launch of Alegebra at Tramway, Terminus at the Citz and Tron's INK to get to..."), Phil ushered him into the palatial Subcity office.
"I know how busy you are, but let me see. Obviously, some of these tracks are from guests. Julian from Miaoux Miaoux and Dave from Theoretical were very generous... but how on earth did you manage to get Julian on without securing an exclusive radio play on the new single?"
"I thought that was kind of cool, the way he brought in other music. It bespeaks a collaborative nature."
"It was, and it was great the way you managed to insult him, and the entire East Coast. Looking forward to your reception at the Edinburgh Fringe, are we?"
"Phil, you know that I am inspired by your shows..."
"The ones where I let the music do the talking instead of letting an ego run wild in the control room."
"Harry got locked outside because Pop Goes The Revolution were setting up the bands in the Green Room. I had to take command."
"Back to the playlist. Let me see..."
"Right. Spank Rock,Gummy Stumps, Sparrow and the Workshop: all have gigs coming up in the next week weeks."
"As do Andrew Jackson Jihadi and MEN."
"Plus, they have extra resonance. MEN are the project by one of Le Tigre - we played Bikini Kill last week, and Kathleen Hanna was in both bands. And feminism is getting back in the press again, what with the Slut Walk."
"Jihadi?"
"I thought a song about hipsters was a good choice to lead into the British Art Show piece."
"George from PGTR was laughing at that. He felt the chorus summed you up quite well."
"Skud Boots are pretty cool. The sound of young Glasgow, never before on the radio."
"This is you down with the kids, grandad?"
"You know how I like to give props to my old students, Phil."
"By your account, Latin classes with you inspired a generation of musicians."
"And radio station staff..."
"And the very difficult slices of Messiaen, and the Glasgow Arcade recording?"
"You'll see soon enough... next week's show will be helpful."
"Why don't you explain this on air?"
"Look, I have to get to the CCA..."

Finally Johnny made a triumphant return to the show. He played a couple of songs and insulted some bands but all in all brought back our wonderful partnership that I've missed the past few shows.
Our lovely wee guest Louise of Reverieme was a delightful end to the show, especially with her beautiful stripped down version of Arcade Fire.

Hospitality is once again back in Edinburgh this weekend courtesy of Xplicit D&B so we thought we'd mark the occasion by putting together a Hospital records special for tonights show.
Myself and PH1 will be going back to back for 2 hours playing a whole variety of tracks from the Hospital back catalogue including artists such as High Contrast, London Elekricity, Cyantific, Logistics, Nutone, Danny Byrd, Commix and many more. 10pm - 12.00 tonight on Subcity Radio.

Pop Goes The Revolution // 20.05.11
6 days till PGTR Live III. So we thought we'd get three of the bands playing to come in and visit the studio, so we'll have Young Aviators, Shooting Stansfield and Kochka all in the studio on mic. Furthermore two of them, Young Aviators and Shooting Stansfield will be playing live in the studio. And what is the acronym of that? Young Aviators + Shooting Stansfield = YASS, which sums things up nicely.
Anyway, if that weren't enough we have tunes by Max Raptor and Black International plus a bit of a radio exclusive as play the fresh off the burning hot press recordings from PGTR favourite Rosie Jones's new project The Worry Dolls.
Update: Previous audio problems are now fixed. Audio sounds dandy.

Oh yes, the lads are back this week...wait, where did they go? Actually they were here all along but a technical difficulty (apparently Brian's fault) prevented the recent shows from actually broadcasting. Well now they're definitely back and on air. This week, look forward to some life-changing news and events, a big catch-up on the 'World of Twitter' and all the usual Saturday fun including BAGEL and a stellar bunch of tunes.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 20.05.11
Ever since he left the safe embrace of Dave Kerr's Skinny playlists, the music on Vile's Radio Hour has been a point of contention. "Last week we were folk, this week electronica," Producer Harry sighs. "And what the hell were you thinking playing the Swedish House Mafia?"
Taken aside by Phil Kennedy during an interval at last week's Matmos and Tanya Tagaq gig, Gareth had the problem explained to him. "Swedish House Mafia aren't some Underground Resistance side-project," Phil began. "They were hyped by Radio 1. Aren't you supposed to be some kind of avant-garde beard-stroking intellectual?"
Unfortunately, Vile's idea of popular radio is Resonance FM, or Radio 3's late night specials. He is a bit out of the loop about what is mainstream. Even worse, when he was a lad, loud music signified rebellion and punk. When Harry sat him down and proved how Lady Gaga's latest album is actually louder than mid-1980s SWANS, he lapsed into the silence familiar to his debtors and drinking friends.
This week, he is relying heavily on his guests. Miaoux Miaoux is visiting, as are Theoretical Records. Since Vile lost his diary, he knows that he has a few other guests, but he can't quite remember who they are. That means another news item at some point tomorrow morning.
After about fifteen minutes, when the office had managed to get back to the work that Vile had originally interrupted, he started to shout.
"Hipsters! Like that Andrew Jihad chap. Some tracks by MEN."
"Maybe some by women too?" Harry chuckled.
"No, by JD Samson out of Le Tigre. And there is a drone show coming up. I am going to mix that in with some Tallis - that is part of the West End Festival. And Mono, the Japanese post-rockers. Plus the Quartet for the End of Time. And I shall start the show loud and gradually get more relaxed. It's high concept."
He lapsed back into silence, and plugging in his hard drive. Harry could be heard muttering about how lucky Vile is to get guests as he discreetly dismantled the decks before DJ Vile worked his mash up magic.

laurel halo
An interview with Brooklyn based artist Laurel Halo on her UK tour with Gatekeeper ahead of her next release Hour Logic on Hippos in Tanks.
You played a lot of music tonight filled with 808s and 303s, a lot of it from Detroit and Chicago. Which drum machines do you favour and what other technology has inspired you recently?
The Roland “number-zero-number” series I’m probably most inspired by is the 303, but I do very much like the 909 as well. Gatekeeper actually lent me their 707 once when they went on tour and I made good use out of that, but seeing as that is more of a sampled based instrument as opposed to an actual synth, it wasn’t necessarily what I wanted.
Technology that has inspired me recently? I stumbled across an advertisement for Virgin Galactic and apparently for £20,000 or $20,000 or whatever, you can go up into space with a commercial entity such as Virgin. Its funny to me because i flew out to the UK on Virgin and had zero leg room to speak of, so maybe I can work really hard on music I can afford to go to space with adequate leg-room. (laughs)
You’ve been touring the UK with Gatekeeper. That’s quite a show they bring with them.
I don’t think there was enough fog (laughs). I’ve seen them play before and I couldn’t see 6” infront of me, I think at a Gatekeper show, the quality of it can be judged by the inability to see your surroundings. The more fog there is the better. I mean the music is always amazing, but they take very seriously the visual element of their music, so its always funny to think about.
We were staying in a flat in London and I went into their room last night and all of a sudden I see strobe lights and flashing lights and the entire room was filled with fog, they seem to bring the fog where ever they are.
I prefer a fog machine to dry ice, especially seeing that Hippos In Tanks like to call it a smog machine, because they are from LA. So I always imagine breathing in these toxic fumes as I’m enjoying some industrial techno music.
So are Hippos In Tanks based in LA now?
Hippos in Tanks is oddly international. They have been in LA for the past 8 months before that they were in London, they’re in London now and they may be in London during the summer. They’re pretty flexible with where there at, but its basically LA and London and its funny because they don’t have any artist based out of LA. I think most of the artist are in Brooklyn, Austin and in London.
Where does the artwork for King Felix and your new record Hour Logic come from?
For King Felix the album art was taken from the United States government website, it was taken from Sandia National Laboratory. Basically, there is a government lab called Sandia National Laboratory that do nuclear weapon testing, nuclear fusion energy testing, so the image on the cover is called a Z machine. The Z machine is the largest x-ray in the world, the image you see is the machine when its activated. The machine is activated for a matter of milli seconds, nano seconds, for a tiny fraction of time but in that moment when its shooting out lighting bolts of energy the temperature inside the machine reaches temperatures hotter than the sun. So basically its used to gather data for the modelling of nuclear explosions and fusion. Its pretty drastic and epic.
Hour Logic is another record i have coming out on Hippos In Tanks, it sort of employs this almost anachronistic internet art. Its this collage style art done by this amazing artist Laura Brothers. I thought it was interesting to use in the context to the music, because the music is like this fucked up observation of electronic music tropes. I just thought it would be interesting to pair that with internet art that’s made into a printed form.
So what are the electronic music tropes you are investigating on that record?
So you have your synth-funk-electro, drum and bass, ambient, synth pop, your sort of ambient techno or dub techno and techno in all of its manifestations. I guess the next record is sort of my playing with the standard expectations of an electronic music producer and digesting that and turning it around and coming back around with my damaged fucked up interpretations of all these different genres.
Do you feel that’s a pastiche?
It does run the risk of being interpreted as a pastiche, I feel like a lot of electronic music aficionados might be hesitant to like it because it takes these genres and highlights their qualities and their faults. Classicists who really cherish specific tropes and specific vibes wont like it either.
I’m a huge fan of techno and various other forms of electronic music, but I’ve always had a problem with just accepting the standardised route vibe of it all, like you need a minute or two minutes of intro with like no kick, or you need to start of with a kick but then you need to cut it out. Or you need to start of with your classic kind of string synths, like the beginning of a drum and bass anthem, or you need to have these kind of hats, these kind of claps or these kind of snares.
I think its just soo irrelevant because there is soo many types of music and types of things being made every day on the hour. There’s just this quickening of time, there’s no way to up hold a modicum of expectation because everything is just broken or bent and you can make all these interesting sounds out of this rubble of time quickening.
I don’t think it’s necessarily pastiche its more just personal expression through this various forms, i wasn’t trying to make like a techno record or like an ambient record, or a pop record. I feel like King Felix was definitely a sort of pop music exercise, just making pop songs with catchy electronic arrangements. Hour Logic is more of an interpretation of these different types of music that I love and trying to express myself through this lens in my own fucked up damaged way.
What you just said about the quickening up of time and everything being broken and bent made me think of Juke and Footwork, do you like those types of music?
I love it! I’m always scared to put it in a DJ set, if your gonna play Juke in your DJ set, you might as well play Juke and Footwork for the whole set, or just throw in some Ghettotech and your done. Its just soo exciting, it makes your heart race.
I mean DJ Rashad had an absolutely amazing set he did for Rinse FM, like a month ago and it was a joy to listen to. Its almost this sampledelia, this almost psychedelic heaving through all these different various tropes and emotions and sample moments. I just really love the total absence of a back beat on a lot of these songs, and you can just ride on this syncopation for minutes and its really exciting.
I really respect the work Ghettophiles does as a label in Chicago, I really love DJ Rashad’s music and DJ Earl’s and there are countless other producers. I also love how there is this fearlessness to it, you could say the production is amateur, i think it speaks to a very specific feeling.
I feel like on a lot of electronic music you have this perfect production: serene, perfect, beautiful...cripsy highs, full round lows, pulsating mids or whatever. Everything is also loud and smacky yet airy and light. I get that production is a very important thing for a lot of people, but you can listen too soo much of it and you realise that there is all this music that sounds the fucking same, because the production is good but there is absolutely no vibe. There is no element of searching or suffering, or any sort of uncertainty. There is a lot of certainty with good production and that certainty replaces the need in some people heads for expressing something else other than the production itself.
Do you think the UK variants or interpretations of Juke or Footwork can suffer from this?
Zomby made some tracks recently, that had a very heavy footwork element to them, meybe I’m just a Zomby fan girl and didn’t mind what he had done, but i know what you mean where other producers will take it and make it more clean.
Its just when you pull those really fat distorted subs and hard claps out of that original sound into something more rounded, i just wonder if it ceases to become what it is at all. I mean for me, Juke and Footwork is defined by the sound of the kick by the sound of the sub, the sound of the clap, the sound of the snare. Its like this unrelenting syncopation, and if you add all these different elements to it or a higher production value to it, its not the same thing. I don’t think its a bad thing that people are inspired by it, I mean I’m inspired by all these different sounds, so i cant judge another person for wanting to explore the music, or try to make the music they love to listen to.
Where do you buy your records?
I am a vicious illegal downloader, but when i do buy records, I like to go to two places in Brooklyn. One is called Record Grouch and another one is called Academy. Record Grouch usually has more deep cuts and really good recommendations, and Academy generally has a really good rotation, there is always good stuff to go through.
Do you listen to any other music, like punk for example?
I know nothing about punk music. I’m a huge pleb. I mean i feel i have very strong pockets of knowledge and complete blank zones. Although, I have worked enough shitty jobs to listen to a lot of different kinds of music on the stereo. I was a freeform DJ for a few years, so i know how to wrap my ears around a lot of differernt vibes.
Ive been listening to the Forever Changes album by Love a lot recently, I was listening to it on the ride up and i was thinking about how pastoral and fucking appropriate that album is running in parallel to all the cows and sheep that we were passing by.
The race and progression in the songs is fantastic. I think its a beautiful record of its time, that record takes traditional idioms of the time, with rock and pop, but stretches and pulls them and twists them around. The song structures are really sort of so free flowing and lucid and very psychedelic. The melodies just kill me, there are these small pitch bends here and there and these unexpected breaks. I mean i really love that record because it takes those things and breaks them and then rebuilds them into something completely unique and special.

fancy & spook live
Theez Boyz R Athletes // 21.05.11
Theez Boyz R Athletes R proud to present Fancy & Spook. This will be a night to remember and a super little warm up for Subcity's Vibes night (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=198144160230139), so if your planning on attending that why not tune in or even come down to the station beforehand for some quality Detroit influenced LIVE electro? That's a rhetorical question btw FYI.
From http://pestcontrolrecords.com/:
'Fancy & Spook have known each other longer than they haven't. They've been making music almost as long as that, most of it electronic.
They have released two 12”s so far, both on Glasgow based Heatray Records. The Detroit influenced electro of their “We Had The Technology” EP received the Dave Clarke seal of approval on release in 2006. 2008's “Extended Peril” EP saw their sound come closer to home with British bleeps and bass coming to the floor.
They specialise in live performance, taking as much of their analogue gear as they can carry and an MPC full of home-made loops with them to thoroughly road-test their sound. They are named after two cartoon cats and their favourite decades are the Fifties and Twenties.'
Tune in on the night to listen live or listen again at your leisure any time after the event at: www.subcity.org/shows/theezboyzrathletes

resplendent
A song dedication to the beautiful beast that is Bessie begin this resplendent playlist, while new music from Battles, CSLSX, Metronomy, Panda Bear & Young Montana? also feature to add extra gleam. Aretha Franklin's 'Save Me' under goes the 'Love a Cover' treatment from Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & The Trinity.

Should also mention that the 60s theme continues through into our Golden Oldies in the form of a hippie summer mini mix perfect for your VW van cruising up to San Fran. Featuring a song used for festival promotion to a festival anthem then rounding it off with a classic festival reflection in 'Woodstock'.

Busy schedules have kept me and rosa from being at the studio, and last weekend we were at Kelburn Castle for the first of four Viewpoints sessions.

r.i.p.
This mixtape is from Clair and Lila, their club night RnB Me Up was one of the only clubs in the city were girls out numbered boys 5:1, the dancefloor was always full and the grind was always complicit. A selection that makes you want to grind with your hunnies, sing-a-long with your bros and make the uggers look hella chung. Just fucking sexy music. Its the tunes you had on repeat while you got your outfit planned, or stole from your sister hoping she would never find out and tell her friends.
The reason this selection is so awesome is because these two chicks from R’n’B Me Up don’t care about doing some rewinds and needle drops like some lame taps-aff bro-step dude. Instead they make girls drop to the floor when they drop some Destiny’s Child and when they are asked by Booty Bass to “shake that ass bitches and let me see what you got” - they do it, with absolutely no qualms.

Mostly improvised live-to-disk, plus a couple studio-built pieces. Yours for Five Quid (includes postage to any Google-confirmed Earthbound location. Mythical destinations, lost cities, parallel dimensions, etc are extra. Sorry.)
Make-do and mend. Broken music for a Broken Britain."

ally reid - guest mix
Ally Reid provides a glitchy, fun-filled mix of techno on the more minimal side of things, reminding anyone who went along to the sadly now-defunct night BON BON at the Sub Club a year or so ago, at which Ally was a resident DJ, that the boy still knows how to pick a party tune or two ... keep an ear out for Ally as he surfaces in the most unexpected places around Glasgow to deliver quality tuneage ...

trance farmers
We all have our own list of musical bugbears, whether it’s the hyper-compressed “never been louder!!” mastering of some 90s metal CDs, or the coked up uber-masculinity that often plagues 808 boom-bap. Amongst these, you would surely place the sound of surf guitar and vinyl scratches on one song, well...lighten up because that's way too reductive for Trance Farmers. His EP isn’t something to listen to with the usual rationale, its filled with slow cosmic jams, the hiss of vinyl, rockabilly boogie and Busta Ryhmes. Surprisingly, none of this feels like pastiche or gimmicky, its more akin to the playful cut and paste mixtape stylings that Jib Kidder had going on with All on Y’all.
The Boston native is now based in LA, a city getting pinned as being an almost utopic centre for collaboration, alluring beat production and esoteric pop. Trance Farmer’s £LVI§ ? JÅPÅN mixtape highlights some of the music being made in the city, with a pysch trip through Matthewdavid, Daedelus and some other weirdo electronics. We continued this vein on this episode with some tracks from distros and artists that mine a similar dark wave hyperactive palette, diverting via some electronic boogie with Jonwayne’s vocoder yoodle and a track from the forthcoming Niño EP out on Donky Pitch to keep in bubblin.
Vibe label of the moment Not Not Fun features heavily, expect some exclusives from their forthcoming releases and an interview with the label soon.

Stephen Scanlon has invited me to do a guest slot at the relaunched Soul Cellar at The Flying Duck on Saturday 21st May. I've scanned the shelves and dug out some tunesthat might meet the criteria of Funky and up tempo soul. Today's show will feature recordings from The 19th Whole, The Chambers Brothers, Dyke and the Blazers, The Vibrettes, Lee Fields, The TSU Tornados and Andre Williams amongst others.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 13.05.11
At the heart of The Vile Arts Radio Hour is a struggle for power. As Vile himself points out in the closing minutes of this episode, the fundamental dualism between himself and Producer Harry echoes a series of less tangible polarities: between youth and age, dancing and listening, performance and representation, Aristotlean attention to detail and the broad sweep of a Platonic vision. Yet this series can be reduced to a single defined conclusion: where Vile stumbles, Harry catches.
For this episode, Vile's tour around Glasgow has led to an excess of riches: Harry begins the show locked in the office, fixing up the sound on a variety of different interviews. But even with Harry's hard work, the show is overloaded, giving the team a chance to boast of their latest enterprise - the Mix Cloud.
Deatils are currently sketchy, but Vile will make an announcement soon. What is certain that this episode features: a chat with Leann O'Casi, the director and actor that Vile has a massive crush on, talking about Crazy Gary's Mobile Disco (that the cast member she brought along is virtually ignored is a testament to Vile's inability to remain objective for a second); an argument about the value of performance against recorded music, with a thoughtful introduction from Wavy Graves, in advance of his Art Rock gig at The Flying Duck; Green Film Festival Fun; Jo Shaw explaining the aesthetics of Slut Walk; The Mutual art collective discussing their latest exhibition and the politics of collaboration and a bunch of tunes that preview the month ahead.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 13.05.11
As Vile makes the final preparations for the show - he claims a deep meditative state, but it just looks as if he is just staring at the No Means Yes team in the studio, again - the many people that support his infinite loop of egotism go into action to make things happen.
IT maestro Gavin remins the crew that it might be time to get some show news going: Wavy Graves warms up for his guest appearance in support of his gruelling DJ schedule. Producer Harry hits the files to clean up the interviews, removing all trace of the Vile dribble from meetings with The Mutual and Jenny Soep and The Crew from Loop. Phil Kennedy inspects the track lists for traces of Jesuit influence, while the Tron sends across the wonderful Leann O'Casi to chat about Crazy Gary's Mobile Disco. The GFT offer their Green Film Festival and SlutWalk strolls across to deconstruct some language.

Pop Goes The Revolution // 13.05.11
Well with PGTR Live III only a couple of weeks ago, we play a couple more tunes from the bands playing our series finale gig, as well as visiting a couple of acts from previous PGTR Lives.
We See Lights release their EP on Saturday, so we caught up with them to record a few special acoustic tracks and so they could explain exactly what happens at a Twee Jamboree.
Add to that some brand new tunes by Skinny Villains, Reverieme, Max Raptor, Where We Lay Our Heads and a lot of other bands with names, then we can consider it job done.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 12.05.11
This week, I'm joined in the studio by previous show guest Timothy McQuillian. This episode is based around some classic hardcore punk and post-hardcore bands, as well as a couple of genre-bending black metal artists. "Violet" by Deafheaven is very much the centrepiece - I urge you to hear their fantastic new album "Roads To Judah".

It's just Anna and Rachael in the studio today, so Anna's silly quavery voice in the first link remains unridiculed. Rachael's back from Berlin, Anna's back up from Newcastle, so the playlist is appropriately travel-themed - Art Brut, Delta 5, Shriekback, the Clash
...and a story about stolen mobility scooters.

supa beatz and turbo rhythmz
So after last week's special episode featuring brass-crazed Trumpeter, Ray Foxx we had nothing but straight tunes this week - and they were sounding BIG. I know we say that every week but this time we truly mean it (not that we haven't on any of the other occasions).
Quality House vibes from Broke One, Prince Club, HaHaHa & Raksha, big bassey Drum&Bass from Ray Vose and straight future Hip Hop vibes from Lunice & Indra. We also had a rather deep Tea Time Rave Off, a super sexy Blog Burner from Tensnake and a closely heated battle for the Local Hero award between Dirty Basement, AKA-SA and Megamegaman.
Get on it.

california dreaming
While we are all here stuck in Glasgow sweating and fighting in a battle with exams, it would be a perfect dream to jump on a plane and get our shiny bodies tanned in hot Californian sun. Maybe 'American Dream' would be quite an inappropriate expression for the uncomfortably beautiful and mesmerising music from the neighbourhood of plastic dream factory. Let's see if seriously the only thing we can musically get there is spoiled sweet tunes for always smiling actors from 'blend-a-med' commercials or tattooed kids. Maybe not? Perhaps there will be another niche of echoes and love.

harry surveyed the carnage...
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 06.05.11
"I can't even revise for my exams anymore, without you demolishing the studio, can I?"
Gareth's usual brash exterior was, momentarily, replaced by a grimace. "I did it on purpose."
"Okay," Harry replied. His demeanour remained unruffled, and the smooth tone of his response, familiar to regular listeners as the only way to bring Gareth out of his flights of artistic fantasy, allowed the host to make his plea.
"I wanted you to know I can't run the show without you."
"But you had done all the work. The interview with Kronos - admittedly, I arranged the call and the technology. And the chat with Watson for King of Scotland - you actually had a radio celebrity and the star of Only an Excuse there. Well, I edited that. And the John Knox Sex Club. And Fielding Hope rescuing you with a playlist. Plus the guys from Big Foot's. You even had a competition to win tickets at Tramway for S'poart."
"It isn't complete without you."
"It isn't complete if you leave the microphone off for forty five minutes either."
And so, in silence, Harry spends a sunny Sunday fixing up the audio. It sounds great now.

Formed in 2009 with the aim of creating a completely unique new type of musical act the duo have developed and refined their show since then into an explosive live experience that re-interprets some of the biggest, most popular and best loved tunes across all musical genres. The pair talk about their unique live act, mixtapes, recent gigs and upcoming events.

kollektikast // ivy sessions volume 1 // behaviour
This week, Tarantism promote the launch of the first of a series of Podcasts from Glasgow based DJs, KOLLEKTIV, named the KOLLEKTIKAST.
Kollektiv currently play Wednesday nights fortnightly at The Ivy, on Argyll Street, at which a sub-section of the Kollektikast, named The Ivy Sessions will be recorded and released, also fortnightly.
The first of these Podcasts was recorded by Kollektiv's own Doug Shearer, a.k.a. Behaviour, who has decided to take a different approach to the conventional mash-up of lounge, chill-out, lo-fi and house that Kollektiv normally bring to their bar-sets.
Instead, Behaviour played a 50minute long mix of ambient and experimental sounds, using the new Traktor 2's sampling facilities to its fullest, with recordings of birdsong and the click-clock-click of grandfather clocks smoothly complementing the soft tones and relaxed drone of the tracks he selected to play.
The next Kollektikast // Ivy Session:
IVAN KUTZ.

sordid saturday??
Well we can live in hope! It's probably fair to say though that the combination of Allan and Derek aka the She Said crew in the confined space of the lovely Subcity studio flooding the masses with our tremendous tunes and arousing patter is just about as sordid as it can get on an increasingly dreich Saturday evening.
So what are you waiting for, tune in and text or email yer abuse and we’ll shower you with sticky love!!

ray foxx
You must simply know when you’ve got it – that one tune that people are going to instantly react to, the tune that is going to soundtrack a summer. For London based producer Ray Foxx, that tune is ‘The Trumpeter’ – a brass laden, feel-good House number with a bassline which resonates pure, head-nodding funk. The Spanish conquistador vibe is one that we are currently loving and as such invited Ray to provide a special guest mix for our show this week...
We also had an interview with the man himself on our blog, check it out here:

On this weeks episode of Metropolis Sound I've got 2 brand new D&B albums in the box, "Under The Ice" by Shogun maestro, Icicle, and "21" by the legendary Marcus Intalex.
I've also got the freshly released "Hold It" EP by System on Digital Sound Boy plus a handful of newly acquired old skool jungle records to chuck in the mix as well. Friday, 10pm - 12.00 on Subcity Radio, get locked!

Another shoddy, rambling solo effort from me as Johnny got a wee bit steaming last night. If you want to hear me mix up words, press wrong buttons, do a wee cheeky unintentional mash up of Reverieme and Take a Worm For A Walk Week, then this is the show for you.
Next show I will definitely have a guest, and perhaps a co host too...

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 06.05.11
In the moments leading up to the show, Vile finds himself alone in the studio, with interviews on every format from reel to reel through to MP3. Will he find time to run the competition, chat to Kronos, get some John Knox Sex Action and make Bigfoot's and Cry parrot feel at home?
Tune in to see what happens. It is anybody's guess at this point...

Pop Goes The Revolution // 06.05.11
Well we've got a lot of it. Between new releases from some great record labels such as Flowers In The Dustbin, Olive Grove and Philophobia. Add to that a small internet trip to previously unexplored territories for us such as Wakefield and Bradford, and what you soon have is a rather nice little playlist.
On a seperate note we're having PGTR Live III - the series finale on the 26th May. We'll be announcing the line up on the show. Trust us, it's going to be pretty special.

"What hope for a country where people will camp out for three days to glimpse the Royal Couple? Where one store clerk refers to another as his 'colleague'? ... God save the Queen and a fascist regime ... a flabby, toothless fascism to be sure. Never go too far in any direction is the basic law on which Limey-Land is built. The Queen stabilizes the whole stinking shithouse and keeps a small elite of wealth and privilege on top ....
The English have gone soft in the outhouse. England is like some stricken beast too stupid to know it is dead. Inglorioulsy foundering in its own waste products, the backlash and bad karma of empre. You see what we owe to Washington and the Valley Forge boys for getting us out from under this den of snobbery and accent, this ladder where everyone stomps discreetly on the hands below them:
"Pardon me, old chap, but you aren't you getting just a bit ahead of yourself in rather an offensive manner?"
... The English thing worked too well and too long. They'll never get all that ballast of unearned privilege up into space. Who wants that dumped in his vicinity? They get out of a spaceship and start looking desperately for inferiors."
- William Burroughs, The Place of Dead Roads
(Except I haven't read that one, so I nicked it off K Punk. Cracking though, eh? Oh what? Fuck off! I've read Junkie, Naked Lunch, Interzone, The Soft Machine and possibly another one... 2005 was a bit much...)
Tonight I'm bringing wild synth fantasies old and new (Harold Grosskopf/Nigga's With Guitars), raging hardon white man outsider metal (White Boy and The Average Rat Band/Bone Awl), murder gawking horror OST fear (Tobe Hooper), a prostate pokingly camp Franco disco funk melange (Arpadys), harrowing documentary folk and phantastical bastard song (Karen Dalton/Alexander Tucker) and a hunk of yum from the Nurse With Wound List ( Pekka Airaksinen/Agiation Free).
And a thrumming piece of vintage Oramics to finish you off. Plastic sheets over all yer sofas.

In todays episode
We feel the sting of Gra Linnaea, Richard Eberheart and Heather Taylor as they bring some pollen to our hive of angry wasps.
Tom Waits is trying to find out what he's building in there and Sarah Coles quietly breaks the wings of Birds.
On the Jukebox we're dusting off some classics by Liz Phair, Nirvana, The Magnetic Fields and Mazzy Star. Discussions on love from Alicia Sometimes, Ivor Cutler and Julian Cope
Vic Chestnutt asks "Where were you?" and Lords of the Empty Ballroom give us their final Correspondence.

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 05.05.11
Voting Day! A day to celebrate our glorious democracy, and what better way to do so than by inviting Dictator and Friend of The Show Tim Malseed back into our booth and loins. With his assistance in manning the controls, and in spite of him bullying us, we'll be bringing you 60 minutes of Protest Music. It's so convoluted that we're doing this today it could only have been planned that way, right? Wrong! You give us far too much credit.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 05.05.11
This week, Source Tags & Mixtapes bring more hip-hop to the table with some reissued material from MF Doom and a cut from the upcoming "Goblin" album by Tyler, The Creator. Elsewhere, there's melancholic folk-rock from Y'all Is Fantasy Island as well as from Red House Painters on this week's recommended record. Throw in some classic-sounding post-rock from Explosions in the Sky, another great Enemies List artist and a particularly good Deerhunter b-side and you've got this week's episode down.

lawrence english
Lawrence English is an Australian sound artist with a penchant for field recordings, audio sculpture, and other intellectual acoustic practices. English curates Room 40, as much an international collaborative body of work as it is a record label. Each of his performances offer a unique take on the room; playing its resonant frequencies, rumbling its tables, and forcing its occupants to get contemplative, or giggly, or leave. This recording serves as an account of his exploration of Nice ‘n’ Sleazy, an excerpt of a live show intent on provoking deep listening, a shared artistic experience, and - ultimately - enjoyment.
How did you come to be involved in sound art?
My interest in sound comes out of a very simple experience I had when I was a kid. When I was very young I used to go birdwatching with my dad. There was a particular kind of bird called a reed-warbler, it's a really small, brown marsh bird. It basically lives in very dense reeds. We'd go looking for this bird when I was a kid and my dad would say, "Listen, what you have to do is close your eyes and listen for where the bird is. Then once you get an idea of the space the bird is in, open your eyes and look for the bird." It almost always worked. You'd find this bird, whereas if you'd just looked in the reeds you'd see nothing. If you listened you got an idea of space and a sense of where it might be, then you understood it. So, while I wasn't thinking about it at the time, for me that's probably my first experience with this idea of space and sound, which are basically the fundamental building blocks of what I've been interested in since then. A large percentage of the concert tonight involved actually playing the room, physically manipulating objects and, unfortunately, making glass bottles fall off and smash on the ground. That was an unexpected side effect, but it's very much about this idea of how sound influences and can be shaped by the space in which it is found.
Which medium do you find the best for your art?
I think I enjoy them all differently. Everything is a quite discrete experience. What you do in the studio, for example, never translates necessarily into live practice. The same goes for the art installation. Working in installation is probably the most direct way to create an experience with people because in some ways you're actually setting the circumstances in which people will experience the work entirely. Whereas, if you record an album, the moment you finish that album you hand it over to someone and they either listen to it with their ipod earphones in, or they put it on a home stereo, or they put it through a big PA. Your control ends at the point that you issue it and give it to the world. In a gallery context, you're controlling that to some degree.
Full interview from Crasier Frane.

This week: your humble host turns 25, so we're playing nothing but songs that were also first released in 1986 to see if they've aged as poorly as he has over the past quarter century. Expect The Smiths, New Order, Beastie Boys, R.E.M. and - yes! - The Real Roxanne. Live at 2pm, on listen again shortly thereafter.

absent shows
Hello all you fans out there (25),
Unfortunately LLV (Live from Las Vegas) will be away for the next couple weeks as the exams are coming up and if I don't study I'll be stuck pretending I have a job in the media, sitting at my laptop masturbating to twitter, instead of getting a job. Until we return with some hot new topics like 'royalty', 'religion' and 'psychological geography'; I suggest you listen to some older shows from our encredible back catalogue.
You could join us in our leap into 'the future', aid me in my search for my pussy in 'cats', help us on our quest as we battle 'myths and legends', come on 'holiday' with us and special guest bafta award winning director William Campbell, or check out the 18year olds in 'jabes'.
Go on give it a try. It isn't illegal. Just listen. Do it. Just click on it. Click on it. NOW. Click NOW!... please, please click. I didn't mean to shout. Please just click - I need this. For my sake, will you just click?... Oh screw you then! Fine, fine I don't care. Do what you want. I don't give a toss if you listen or not... It would be a laugh though. The jokes and the banter. Ah go on - give it a listen eh? FUNKING LISTEN WILL YOU!

'where did our love go?'
Rosa & I had agreed this week we'd get back to basics in the studio, so tonight its just us and the music, no interviews, no mixes, no features or guests, and certainly no technical hitches.
Now with the summer vibes well and truly setting in, all the summer music has been coming out of the shelves and off the harddrives, and we've non stop been all over the legendary sounds of Motown.
Without, Year of the Week, we haven't had many opportunities to stick on some old school classics, so this week, we've decided to dedicate a whole show a bit of a Motown special, where we will be bringing to the table many of the classic motown tracks of the past few decades, plus our usual banter.

Aye, aye it’s that time again as She Said is very pleased to welcome the return of accomplished novelist, playwright, performer and undoubted music fan Alan Bissett to the show. Not only will he be terrifying us with tales of glamour and excess from this week’s New York Book Festival, we're sure to get a wee sneaky insight into his forthcoming novel set amidst the bedlam of Rangers 2008 UEFA cup final in Manchester.
And of course there will be tunes, lots of them...

gareth k vile and his producer officiate
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 29.04.11
The Vile Arts Radio Hour brings you the Civil Partnership that they are already calling the wedding of the century: the holy union of arts and politics. Vile once again tries to convince Producer Harry that religion has a higher hit rate for aesthetic endeavour then secular ideology: Harry counters that it doesn't need to be explicit to count as political, citing Black Watch.
Since neither of them have actually seen the play, they quickly switch on some Holy Mountain.
The ceremony is attended by members of 85a, the three artists who will be making Cryptic Nights a sound CCA special, a representative of A Bunch of Fives, who are bringing back the political cabaret of 7:84 and Wildcat, the star of Scottish Opera's Rigoletto, Nick Spaghetti and his plus one Blochestra. The hymns are provided by The Kronos Quartet, and the signing of the register conducted to the Creative Martyr's romantic acapella.
The reception features a selection from Vile's research into the upcoming gigs: Kid Robotik brushes shoulders with Prince Rama.

Our Guest this week hails from Edinburgh and is one of the founding members of the Electrikal Sound System. As well as this, his residencies at both Jungledub and Big N Bashy allow him to unleash his intense medleys of jungle, drum & bass and dubstep upon respectable crowds most weeks while also co-hosting the weekly Big N Bashy show with Deburgh on internet radio outlet, Nasty FM. Just lend him 10 minutes of your eartime and he’ll no doubt show you why his nickname of ‘The Don’ has been affectionately bestowed upon him by those who see him ruff tings up.

topical royal wedding gag factor
Fucking inbred bunch of humanoid lizard people. That's what they are.
I'm fully aware that in the wider political cosmos one wideo ballbag's utterly cackhanded armchair activist posturing is completely empty.
But I'm fairly familiar with cowardly emptiness, so piss off.
Seriously. State of us. That we cowtow to the likes of them... and those MENTALLY ILL folks who camp out over night in union jack sleeping bags... is that just to get a wee documentary realist take on the disgusting social problems that their beloved Maggie pissed out onto us? They should make them sell Big Issues while they await the unjustified authority of the royal slugfuck?
So yeah, tonight I'm pumping my big radio wedding cake with creamy jets of Topic records. Seriously, I know earnestness and all that is not really in these days, but folk was better when it were like that. Trust.
And there will also be some stuff from Clay Man In The Well, Kode 9 and Spaceape, Russell Haswell, Gunter Shickert and Cosmic Dead.

This week, the features are based around two heavy as shit, yet strangely humourous bands: Harvey Milk and Pissed Jeans. This week's recommended record is in my opinion Harvey Milk's most playful and enjoyable effort, and the 7" by Pissed Jeans isn't available on any of their albums. Also here: that band Airs I've been getting excited about, a couple of recent tracks by artists I've missed out on until now: Six Organs of Admittance and Cass McCombs. Come join the misery!

Andrew Marr attempted to take a 'super-injunction' out on this weeks episode citing it to be "Too good for anyone else to know about" but unfortunately letting on that he had indeed listened to the show while informing everyone to its existence regardless. Now how can you not listen to it?

i love coffee, i love tea
In this week's episode of The Red Room, we discussed the various trials and tribulations of getting up to do our show in time, Jenny's venture into the exciting world of vegetable patches, and the exhausting yet satisfying joys of employment. We also discussed our cameos in a twee pop music video, a book by Derren Brown (Tricks of the Mind, from which we did a short reading), as well as our methods for curing phobias. We also discussed the movies of Woody Allen including Hannah and Her Sisters and You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger.

a tremendous amount of wheat
In this week's episode of The Red Room, we discussed the recent gig at Mono from friends of the show The Seventeenth Century, our chance encounters with some playful canines outside the aforementioned venue, as well as another recent gig at Nice 'n' Sleazy that one of us played the flatwound bass guitar at. We also, in somewhat of an echo of last week's show, discussed Woody Allen and his movies, including Love and Death and Radio Days.
Posted at 01:27, 27th April 2011
i'm listening
In this week's episode of The Red Room, we discussed the pitfalls of "married" life and the laziness that ensues, our recent forays into the exotic world of culinary excellence, and our current obsession with the sensation that is Frasier. We also discussed haircuts (and the inevitable arousal that ensues from receiving a shiatsu from a pretty hairdresser), our recent gigs at The Paisley Arts Centre and The 13th Note, and embarrassing incidents from our lives involving toilets. We also discussed obsession with Woody Allen, as well as several of his films, including Manhattan and Manhattan Murder Mystery.

In this week's episode of The Red Room, we discussed chance meetings with unbelievably small canines, the repercussions of bowing to uncontrollable anger, and the pitfalls of fronting a charging tyrannosaurus of despair. We also discussed the recent Crystal Stilts gig at The Arches, Thom rescuing Jenny from a potentially sticky situation by impersonating Clint Eastwood, and films by Richard Ayoade (Submarine), Alfred Hitchcock (The Wrong Man), and Oliver Stone (Platoon).

coming this week
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 29.04.11
By May 2011, only four months after beginning the Radio Show, Vile's delusions became terrifying. Once a familiar face on the Glasgow circuit, he began to hide at home, spending hours perfecting his interviews or mixing obscure electronic music into local Glasgow bands' demo. In a late April episode, he managed to pull together Joe from the mighty Hivver, the star of Scottish Opera's Rigoletto, the producer behind the revival of Wildcat and 7:84's cabaret agit-prop A Bunch of Fives, before ranting about the dangers posed to democracy by the closure of The Ramshorn Theatre. Even his closest friends, and Producer Harry, were concerned.

Live From Las Vegas // 20.04.11
That Takeshi's castle is well funny isn't it? Makes me laugh so much to see those wazzocks falling down or hitting their heads off things. It's a laugh, everyone on it seems like they're having fun. Sure sometimes they get hurt but people get hurt playing any kind of sport. They're just having fun. What's wrong with laughing at people having fun? The wazzocks, all having fun fun fun fun fun.
The Chinese version of Takeshi's castle isn't fun at all. Nobody is smilling and they all have to wear the same outfit and there is only one challenge - "peaceful liberation".

guest - marcelus (deeply rooted house)
oooooft.....
What a weekend! Kenny Larkin was unreal at the Sub Club, never heard it so loud!! Then the Frog....well if you were there then you know what it was like. Fantastic day/night/afters/after afters! Ben Klock @ Substanz....wooo!
So back to tonight's show!
Special guest mix from newcomer to he techno scene MARCELUS. With only two ep's to his name, this young French producer has definitely made a stamp on the world of techno. Releasing on Dj Deep's DEEPLY ROOTED HOUSE, EP1 was a deep atmospheric stomper, designed to destroy dance floors worldwide! EP2 offers more of the same, with tinges of acid bouncing between metallic drums, twisted between rasping hi-hats, head down, dancing fodder!
Marcelus' mix provides us with more of his house influences, drawing on more recent techno at the end. A great Summer's night listening!

suspire / goodbye nikki
Pop Goes The Revolution // 22.04.11
Well it's a show of mixed emotions. Good news: The awesome Suspire came by and chatted about their brand new single, for which the press launch is Tuesday at the Captain's Rest. They talked about the band, music, the universe and everything else that came to mind. Briefly they also brought along Gordy Goudie of Echo & The Bunnymen fame, who produced their new release.
Combine with that a new exclusive track from Male Pattern Band, an album teaser from Natalie Holmes and another new Max Raptor song and it's all celebrations right?
Not entirely... Nikki has left the show till September. Till Series 4, there's now just two of us.
NOTE: The previously reported audio problems are fixed.

The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 22.04.11
Once again playing the part of a badminton widow, the boys lack Kev. Thankfully, however, Big Gay Tom swooped in to save the day, taking up Kev's mantle and looking dashing while he did it.
The boys get up to the usual cheek, we ask Diana to stay just one more time before the royal wedding special, Callum gives us his recommendations for what's on in and about the Glasgow toon, and Miks shares some "gemmes cachées".
We also find Varty is suffering from a very complicated psychological trauma. And Callum pulls another teen back from the brink of oblivion in Teen Talk.
Kevin's not here, but it's not bleak Cause we've got bags of choons and cheek.
Get it down ye.
Over and out, Bacon Fries.

Gareth K Vile and Harry Parlane would like to announce that they are ready to sell out. Should any multi-national corporations or secret societies, even repressive states wish to become Media Partners with the Vile Arts Radio Hour, do get in touch. We's shamelessly plug your product, mysterious agenda or illegal torture camps for the slightest of fees, and wear your clothes, eat your food or drink your alcohol copiously.
In the mean time, listeners can tune in today to hear interviews with Rekindle theatre, Polka Dot Punks, The Creative Martyrs and Miss The Occupier. Between tunes, Vile gets excited about Easter and religious music while Harry is unconvinced. Tracks from award winner at the EMMAS Alex Smoke, The Kronos Quartet and a trio of artists featuring at Frost and Fire...

pals in taiwan..
It's bloody sunny outside, and I was cooped up for an hour in the studio with the lovely David Weaver (who I think has been on the show more than Johnny) and Matt and Liam from Friends In America. I played a nice wee mixture of songs, many from Edinburgh, many a wee bit different than what we usually play but all really gid. Also had the token classic and obligatory there will be fireworks number thrown in too. Also, the Bronto song was played twice in a tow for no reason at all other than it is pure good.
They played a really lovely set in anticipation of their gig tonight, which everyone should attend and eat some cake.
Also tonight You Already Know are playing in the Cathoose for free. Their new album is a peach and available on Bandcamp.
Tomorrow night is the amazing line up of Paws, St Deluxe and Bronto Skylift in King Tuts. It will be bloody incredible.
Enjoy the sun, enjoy the show. ta.

the green lama strikes!! { dibia$e interview }
It’s fair to say that Los Angeles is going through a renaissance period at the moment. The reason for this thriving, positive interest can be attributed to the burgeoning new swathe of producers, musicians, artists, DJ's, designers, record collectives, and quality club nights which are currently running within the city. With the weekly club night, The Low End Theory, the gig venue, The Smell, independent radio stations, Dublab and BTS Radio, and record labels such as Brainfeeder, Plug Research, Sun Ark, Not Not Fun, DATAMOSHPIT, Stones Throw, Leaving Records, Poo-Bah, Alpha Pup and My Hollow Drum amongst others doing the rounds. The driving force behind this electrically charged, big burst of enthusiastic excitement can be traced toward a healthy community of melody makers, beat makers, beat heads, beat-wave, brain drain bedroom beat maestros that are consistently creating new and thoughtful sounds on a regular basis.
/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\
One such producer that springs to mind when speaking about the sounds that are coming from the coastal lines of California goes by the name of Dibiase. Signed to the likes of Alpha Pup, All City, and Fat City Recordings, and accompanied along with releases such as “Machines Hate Me,” “Cakeology,” “Up The Joystick,” "Sound Palace," and a recent collaboration with fellow contemporary P.U.D.G.E. on All City’s, the LA Series, Dibiase is perhaps one of Los Angeles most unique and distinctive beat makers to emerge within the past number of years.
/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\
His sounds incorporate a happy blend and melded fusion of 8-bit, chip-tune like, glitchy hyper-active madness, unquantized beats, funky, soulful, jazzy interludes. Smooth, hazy, sun-drenched hip hop melodies, fun, eccentric samples whilst going awash down a mountain top stream and evaporating into the ether. From listening to his beats, they all add up to a seamless, transitional blend of memories transgressing through the boundaries of reality, making you end up in an entirely different state of mind and environment altogether.
/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\
We talked about sampling computer games, his All City collaboration with P.U.D.G.E, to the Roland SP-404 to WWE wrestling. There's also a fun anecdote about his purchase of the Emu Systems SP-1200.
/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\
Enjoy.

West Coast, mostly Bay Area with a few exceptions. An assortment of early 90s established classics, forgotten cuts from practically unheard albums (Pimpville?) and a selection of more recent material including a killer album cut from Too Short's album from 2010 and an old school style R&B number from Dru Down's most recent album. Personal highlight: Lil E's Sicc Out The Moe, a sort of peculiar, detached vocoder soaked gangster lament.

section 27 - label showcase / guest mix
Tam Ferrans of Scotland-based experimental/electronica/IDM netlabel Section 27 provides a mix for INDUSTRY and gives us the low-down on the label (http://section27netlabel.blogspot.com/):
So, tell us about Section 27...
"Section 27 began in April of 2009. It was originally conceived as a platform for Andy and myself to release our collaborative and individual music projects through whenever we felt like it, both of us really being into the DIY ethic of labels like (the sadly no longer in operation) Monotonik and could keep complete control over what we put out and when. After a few weeks we started to release music by artists we had got to know through Myspace and Soundcloud and this grew over time, through that we ended up where we are right now. For me personally it has been a great way of hearing new music and meeting some bloody talented individuals along the way. We do develop quite a queue of releases sometimes. There is a minimum of two weeks between albums (one week for short EP's) which can be a frustrating thing to some people having to wait a couple of months before they see their work released but so far everyone's been understanding and really nice about it. Can only be a positive thing I guess."
And what's this mix all about?
"The tracks in this mix are a blend of past, present and future work that we have on the label. I prefer the music to talk for me here. It's a real shame that I couldn't include every roster artist in this one, the idea was originally to get all artists who have released music on Section 27 till now shrink wrapped into one very restless mix, but hopefully this one is an enjoyable listen and gives a feel for where we have been and are going. There are a couple of little exclusives in there too for those that listen to it. ;)"
How is running S27 as a netlabel working out?
"Running this netlabel is a lot of fun but understandably there are a few downsides to being a strictly "digital" netlabel. First off all our releases are just that, digital. A lot of love goes into the releases and they are great pieces of work, but we still remember when we got excited about physical formats. Certainly you can burn the releases onto a CDR, but it isn't the same as having a complete package with printed art and stuff. Another downside is that there are literally hundreds of netlabels out there on the web, so with all of that choice and quantity it makes it harder for some labels to break out of that. With the ability to share your art online it has opened up a whole new way to create which is both a blessing and a curse. There are a few notable netlabels that we personally follow as their output is consistently of high standard and their cover art is brilliant, I believe I listen to more "unsigned" music than I do commercial music these days and always seem to find something new on a regular basis. Having music licensed under Creative Commons and released through a netlabel is a great way to get your stuff out to people for free. It doesn't take a genius to know that the music industry is all about profit and is teetering on the brink of collapse and more people are going independent... From an artist's perspective netlabels can be an additional mode of promotion plus they also have a dedicated core following that have a tendency to check out anything new they put out. In turn artists could get exposure to an audience that may seek out other releases on the label, just because they picked up something they really enjoyed listening to. I have done the same thing many times myself."
What does the future hold for Section 27?
"We just release what we like the sound of, it would be very good to have live nights where we get some artists to play at it. Realistically though due to everyone's geographical location this would be a very difficult thing to get into operation! Its also been discussed in passing between Andy and I the subject of doing some limited runs of physical releases at some point in the future once we can afford to press up a few CDs and distribute them, or just play host to an artist that wants to do a physical release and they deal with the shipping and Paypal stuff. There are a lot of things we have talked about regarding the future for Section 27 but nothing has been set in stone, the spirit is to keep the music free to obtain so that will always be the primary focus. Some ideas get suggested from the artists too, they always have suggestions they contribute to us. It's a community and we really could not have got this far without them, which is (by shameless plug) evidenced on the latest Section 27 compilation called "Sectioned v2.0". The response to shape the sound of our second year celebration was overwhelmingly positive and the feedback from people outside of its creation tells us it has been very well received do far. That for me is enough, to know that people are listening and feeling the sounds we share is such a great thing. Here's to more.

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 21.04.11
None of Morrow's marrow this week unfortunately, but you'll get a super creey solo sex show instead. Repulsive, eh?
Orchestral covers of Whitehouse tunes, blunt 80s industrial, dub jazz and some almost dead blues. You could ask for more, but could you be fucked?

it's a big soundcloud pokey bum wank in absentia.
I can't afford to eat meat at the moment. Not even some coley portions or any of that imitation prawn ring shit. I can't even eat vegetables without risking imprisonment (supermarket self service. No bar codes on onions. That's all I'm sayin').
So I'm back home at my parents place. Mum cooked me fuckin' PRAWNS today. Living the dream, serious.
Anyway I'm getting shit DONE. I'm a million miles away from my skunk dealer and I'm not drinking myself half to death every other night because I'm shit scared I'll end up in one of those horrendous botty clenching conversations about how much I'm totally inspired by, like, your life, Dad... what was it like to see The Pop Group? I FUCKING LOVE YOU.
So yeah, been writing a load of poop and making music. I've even started using Soundcloud recently, summat like 30 years later than every other cunt. Social bloody butterfly me.
I've discovered a fair bit of awesome weird on there too, as well as being able to check out a lot of stuff by folk I already totally spunked over in the first place. So tonight the mix is made up of completely free completely killer stuff by people I "follow" or who have been deluded enough to "follow" me. Yeah, I'm like Mohammed and Jesus and Rio Ferdinand's Twitter feed. Rio pure got merked by Balotelli innit. Amazing.
So I'm bringing some rapturous free psyche from Vampire Blues, gothic isolated wooden hut backwoods jings by Mystery Phil, an outrageously magick reworking of You Got The Love what Universal Swimsuit made, some more Somerset oddball electronics from Kek W (seriously need to do a Somerset special like) and a corkin' remix from Lunar Halo. Plus loads of other stuff that I would be genuinely suspicous of you if you didn't like.

sugary sweet
Sisters With Voices are a pretty big deal. In this show we've got some sweet girls with cutesy voices. Grimes is also a pretty big deal. Hailing from Montreal, she's part of the Hippos In Tanks gang who are on repeat on any radio station with a clue. We'll be playing some of her new stuff that she released with D'eon...not the usual D'eon we play. We also have an exclusive from Nino who is on the Brighton based label Donky Pitch. Most of the music featured has got some really sweet words to it too. I went all soppy for a brief period.

A selection of local bands will also be played this week, as well as a bunch of more subdued tracks in order to sooth the scares of last episodes noisefest.
BRING IT!

۞ anna karina ۞
Fairly recently I've been lying low during these past few weeks, and the same applies for tonight.
The reason for this is to allow me to work on new ideas, discover new artists, train new thoughts, etc, etc, before the summertime arises. Beginning with next weeks show, which features a special guest interview from one of Los Angeles most prolific beat heads.
So my producer Fergus is doing an hour long mix tonight, featuring lots of early uk garage and funky music apparently. Which are styles I'm not entirely used to, but it's something different so it should be interesting to listen to. There is also the customary odd bit of hip hop thrown in for good measure as well.

another portion of links to warm your hearts
They Took Our Jobs!!! // 18.04.11
Hello Dear Listeners, By that point you probably got tired of my monologues. But don't worry - if everything goes well and Michał's plane doesn't get shot down by the Liberation Front Of Guersney Island we shall kick in with some powerful tunes after my three weeks of jazz and mellow melodies. In the meanwhile however, I'd like to provide you with a couple of myspace links. Several artists we have played on 18th of April have released some hot stuff for free. I would recommend starting with Odme and DeFacto projects you can download from Odme's myspace. You'll find them on a right side of the page. http://www.myspace.com/panodme
And make sure you also check out Robak's profile. He seems pretty good in recycling classy tunes. Two albums you can legally download from his website. http://www.myspace.com/robakccc

joshua inwood (ctv)
Joshua Inwood is Christian Television (or CTV), compiler of mixes and tapes, composer of non-linear, adult contemporary jams - a selection of CTV's music is available via KBOO a community radio station based in Portland, Oregon. His Last.fm is more like a "you have never heard of this" generator than a "you might like this", throwing up classical compositions from the likes of Francis Poulenc and Igor Stravinsky, alongside Jan Terri and Sibylle Baier.
His blog the Pony Engine is a collection of some of the most ridiculous yet sincere trash pop, like the middle aged California artist Leonte who dresses in different cultural cliche outfits on each video or shoot, or George Smallwood's internet soul classics performed on different community TV networks. Amongst all these oddities is some lush seductive pop, precisely produced, pitch perfect and addictive - this episode features Joshua Inwood's selection of that kind of pop music.

After a 2 month break, Vitamins Radio kicks starts this week with Shaun alone in the studio with a crate of new releases and rediscovered classics. He hasn't slept but that's never stopped him before.
We've been keeping it fairly quiet recently but we have big plans coming up for summer and the rest of the year. So keep an eye out for new mixes, parties and a new home for all things Vitamins.
Sorry for leaving you like that. It won't happen again. Promise.

The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 15.04.11
It's approaching the exam period for the chaps in the studio, but while they scrabble about in the dirt-pits of knowledge they still find time to crawl out of their hovels for that All Day Cheeky Breakfast.
The boys discuss their loss of faith in you, the quiet listeners, whilst sharing the usual serving of cheeky tunes, chat and more Royal bashing than you can shake your inherited wealth at.
We discuss the new advert we made, now gone viral*, and we showcase a plethora of terrible accents. Callum also extends his helping hands to another crooked teen.
Strap yourself up with bacon and dive in to the frying pan.
Over and out, Bacon Fries.

a commune with the spirits
He didn't know whether a ghost so transparent might find himself in a condition to take a chair, and felt that in the event of its being impossible, it might involve the necessity of an embarrassing explanation. But the ghost sat down on the opposite side of the fireplace, as if he were quite used to it.
Charles Dickens
This week, drifting through the ether towards you is our show on Ghosts. Music includes some great folk songs, the original version of Riders In The Sky and a couple of tracks from Esopus magazine inspired by ouija boards. We listen to some different ghost noises and Dave and Sean get a bit carried away à la Ghost.

difficult third album
This week: second albums are often known as the 'difficult' ones, but what about the third? More often than not, that's the one that shapes the future career, whether for good (finally hitting that unique sound and sticking with it) or bad (failing spectacularly and retreating to safer ground). We'll looking at classic thirds from Springsteen, Talking Heads, Radiohead, The Replacements, The Stooges and more, and arguing that they're the real legacy-makers for any band.

no real theme this week, mainly recent stuff...a quick overview:
some throwback LA/Bay Area jams + one track culled from the Thizz Nation back catalogue
Tony Yayo's world weary wisdom (or terrible rapping, however you wanna call it)
Spaceghostpurrp's resurrection of the Memphis sound
Keyboard Kid (based affiliate) with some oddball number that sounds a bit like a spacey Egyptian Lover b-side
Soulja Boy's #based ramblings over Super 3 production
some post #based, post #snooki super tasteless but totally awesome stuff from V-Nasty and Kreayshawn
an assortment of Main Attrakionz/Green Ova stuff that i'm currently obsessed with - the perfect culmination of crazy hypnotic lo-fi crunk/celestial abstract blunts
plus some ye olde classics (DJ Quik, in honour of his upcoming and sure to be awesome LP: The Book of David + a cute and somewhat misogynistic jam from Filthy Phil's second tape offering released while he was on the run after being on America's Most Wanted for allegedly killing a police officer...his label was called Fugitive Records...clever huh?)

a silence descends...
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 15.04.11
... over the studio. Eventually Harry shuffled uneasily.
"It's lucky that the name DJ Rubbish is already taken," he murmurs. "What are you going to call this megamix?"
"The Vile History of Electronic Music," Vile replies proudly. "It's a tribute to the Electronic Music Awards for Scotland. It's got a bit of Alex Smoke, some Autechre, Kid Koala, even Bjork. Plus an exclusive from Psignal."
"And what brought on this foray into experimental composition?" Harry sighs. "When did you get into electronic music? We were a folk show a few months ago."
"We respond to the streets of Glasgow. When Celtic Connections was on, folk was the sound of Sauchiehall. Now it's time for some clubbing: Electric Frog is coming up."
"Have you ever thought we could have a theme to the show, a consistency?"
"Ah, but look at how I arranged the show. We start off with an interview about the Veil at Tramway - nice bit of live acoustic guitar there. Then I segue into the Mummers, who are up here at Tut's - a nice folky connection that leads naturally into Explosions in the Sky: they are touring in a bit. Then that moves nicely- the atmospheric sound - "
"Into two Russians shouting over Taz Buckfaster," Harry interjects. "Where did you find that?"
"My record collection is vast and deep. Like the sea."
"And equally insensible to rationality."

you bunch of cynical automotons.
That's what you are, with your bloody vicarious spunk offs wrriten pseudonymously underneath essentially fucking inane pieces of news and comments that we absolutely MUST read. YOU ARE IMPORTANT. Got it.
People that do that really puncture my rim. It's the overbearing micro-climate of NOTHING HAVING ANY MEANING ANY MORE that really fucks me off.
Sidney Lumet was twice the man you'll ever be, punk.
He's also just died, so to add to the grim catalogue of mortality (check out the DEATH SPECIAL I blessed you with the other month) that Worst Chips seems intent on documenting as a wankerish method of making you realize how CULTURED I AM, tonight is about Sidney Lumet.
Well, it's mostly me playing stuff, but I'll make a vague gesture toward including some samples of his films.
The Wiz wasnt THAT bad, anyway.

woebot
On this episode we host a jackin’ mix from Matthew Ingram aka Woebot. Woebot started life as an influential blog, part of the nameless network of critic theorists that also include Simon Reynolds and k-punk. As evidenced by his mix of ambient jungle for FACT magazine, Woebot's revelatory discovery of rave was perhaps the formative experience of his musical life. But as a blogger Woebot didn’t just stick to things associated with the hardcore continuum. His influential post of his 100 greatest albums of all time included Can, Slint and Big Black.
Next came Woebot tv, an internet series that included a look through JD Twitch’s record collection. Woebot has a multitude of Glasgow connections, including being one of the founding members of Sweet FM, Subcity’s predecessor. The Woebot blog and it's later incarnation of Cybore are both now retired, though Matt remains an online presence running the crucial Dissensus forum.
Ingram now focuses full time on making music and running his Hollow Earth label. He started out around 2008 making budget hauntological collages using a trusty MPC sampler, though now his records have become more conceptual. Last years ‘Moanad’ used guitar samples to subvert the modern day association of the instrument with tedious corporate indie rock.
On his latest record ‘Chunks’, he tries to reclaim pre kraut rock blues based boogie rhythms from unfashionable genres like metal and prog, and tease out the strange quirks inherent within. Despite this, you can still hear the distinct echos of rave, and his approach to making music and his use of sampling is still very much informed by hardcore and jungle.
The mix Matt has sent us is called ‘Slave to the Rave,’ and it's a full on hark back to his musical roots!

the great sticker hijack
The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 08.04.11
At long last, the latest serving of The All Day Cheeky Breakfast has arrived, steaming hot, at your table.
Join us on another adventure as we seek to insult each other, put our very unique spin on current affairs, and get our cheek on to some questionable music selections.
This week we tell you about our new stickers you've probably seen in Glasgow, why 80s synths are a sure fire way to score a number 1, and once again question why Princess Di left her grieving children to fend for themselves.
It's all day, it's cheeky, and it's a (wholesome) breakfast treat.
Tune in, or funk off.
Over and out, Bacon fries!

guest - deepbass (informa)
Fantastic show lined up this week as Informa label boss Darren Roberts aka DEEPBASS will be performing LIVE in the studio!
"Darren Roberts aka Deepbass has been part of the techno scene since 2009. He has had some major releases on his own labels Informa Records & Dark Beat which have received support from everyone from Speedy J to Ben Klock to Len Faki. Earlier this year he also done two exceptional remixes of Claudio PRC & Svart 1's track Black Moon on Mono Records. Deepbass has recently joined the Rising Management team and shares a strong roster of artists together with Claudio PRC, Jeroen Search, Max M & Ness. The rest of this year looks good for the up and coming Glasgow producer with international dates confirmed and a solid string of releases lined up. Including the 2nd release on Informa Records with remixes from Modern Heads (Prologue) & Schermate (Schermate Recordings) which will be out on 12" at the end of April and the digital release due on the 10th May."

allen spion - guest mix
For the 4th installment of INDUSTRY, host 27B welcomes the first guest DJ to the show: ALLEN SPION. One of Croatia's finest, this up-and-coming DJ/producer delivers a superb mix of dubbed-out chords and tough techy beats. Allen's mix includes tracks from techno stalwarts such as Sandwell District and Ben Klock, as well as the critically-acclaimed Swedish young team, Skudge, who are currently conquering clubs across the world with their powerful analog assaults. Mixed in Allen's typically flawless style, this mix reads like a who's who of quality underground techno right now ...
Be sure to take a listen to Allen's releases and remixes, which you can find on Deep Nota Records and Balkan Connection, to name but a few. To get you in the mood for the show, take a listen to Allen's recent mix for Public ∏: http://publicpee.alternacija.org/2011/02/public-025-allen-spion.html

Ahead of their upcoming EP launch, we are joined by Selective Service frontman Ian MacKinnon as we found out what sounds influence one of Glasgow's most up and coming bands. Expect an ecclectic play list too match an eclectic band.
http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=136794319725535"
"Selective Service launch their 2nd EP (You Best Believe) at Glasgow's newest and coolest underground space. Chambre69, the door you never knew existed, leading to the club you always wanted to find; inspired by the dive bar/speakeasy culture that is sweeping New York. The band will perform an extended live set on the night, followed by a set from Kasabian tour DJ DanRalphMartin. This is Dan's first ever gig in Scotland, and the band are delighted that he has picked this night to debut his skills north of the border. He's in huge demand down south, not to mention the fact that his musicianship features on every Kasabian album to date, with word reaching us that he will also feature on the new album out this year. The evening will commence at 9pm with a champagne reception and will run all the way till 3am - not your typical record launch that's for sure!"

metaphor!!
Aye metaphor, that's the word of the day. The She Said team's day (yeah that's right, we live together just like the Monkees used to) began with a mega hangover, that wasn't a metaphor though that was the real thing. Then the sun shone in Glasgow which in many ways was indeed metaphorical cos we always bring sunny happiness into yer Saturday evening or whenever you damn well listen.
And then we just had to play Squirrel Song by Shellac cos that's the only one we know with the word metaphor in the lyric.
So you see what we mean then? Aye? Good!

pasteman (cut & paste) & euby (second to n
Tonight on the Custom show, we bring you Pasteman & Euby in advance of their show at SUBFRICTION tonight @ CLUB 520!!!
PASTEMAN (Cut&Paste) A long time in the scene and a sound system veteran, Pasteman is part creator of in the infamous Leeds sound system known as Cut & Paste. Although he started out on the underground Rave scene in Leeds, Pasteman has began to focus more on his productions taking a unique approach to dubstep with stripped down sublow sounds and complicated melodies which progress into often soulful and clever breaks, his many influences show in his take on production and with his attention to detail and hard graft approach he looks to showcase a sound that pulls away from the harsher side of the scene. With more and more doors opening up to Cut & Paste and Pasteman it is sure to be an important year.
http://soundcloud.com/pasteman
and..
EUBY (Sumting New/Second To None) Another household name in the scene down in Leeds, Euby has recently been signed to COTTI'S label "Sumting New". This guy has some big releases on their way. Promises to go in hard on his Glasgow debut. Watch out for this guy! http://soundcloud.com/eubydub

the vile sulk
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 08.04.11
Despite his claims of being "on the run" from undisclosed injunctions, the rumours spreading around Subcity HQ are that Gareth K Vile has thrown a massive strop after he lost his copy of the new Orkestra Del Sol album. He is not currently in hiding, but sitting in his bedroom, lights off, listening to a Wavy Graves mix.
Fortunately, the Hour has its own consciousness, and in the host's absence, it has collected together some interviews, a bunch of exclusive tracks - the final nod to the beginnings of electronic music may hint at the sort of music artificial intelligences love. So: Nick takes command of the musical interviews, meeting with Fangs; Claire Cunningham talks dance and singing; Orkestra Del Sol back up the promises of a Balkanarama special and that interview with Boom Monk Bem finally hits the internet. More words on Lent Fest and a visit from Graeme from The EMMAs Awards.
Perhaps Vile should be encouraged to sulk more often...

long/drawn out
Sound good? Aye, thought so.
After last week's aural abortion of a program, in which your preternaturally sozzled host managed to semi-puke his way through an hour of meticulously planned best-of-the-first-quarter-of-the-year radio sound with all the verbal panache of a sack full of Premier League post game interviews... I have decided to play it oh so fucking safe this week.
Six tracks, one hour. BIG FAT LONG SONGS. Weirdo gurgle spasms and broken glass blips that nudge at the ten minute mark (and then some). Ecstatic synth drone, sound art, free jazz, gutter HxC and total teuton machine worship.
Hope I'm back in your good books or summat.

Tonight we had one of the most tightly contested Local Hero awards since we started doing the feature, with Aymard, Monopunk and mysterious new producer, Ovr Kill all clashing over the prestigous title.
The Tea Time Rave Off was strictly dub based with low-slung Hip Hop, jump up Dubstep mainroom Rave. Meanwhile our Blog Burner went to Ray Foxx for his summer anthem in waiting 'The Trumpeter' and we also had new music from Joy Orbison, Julio Bashmore and B-Tone. It were phat.

déjà vu
Last month saw Subcity Radio turn 16, as part of their celebrations I was asked to make a mix as well as play at the 'Sweet Sixteen' party in the Arches.
To be honest, I had mixed feelings about being 16 but it certainly was a formative year for my music.
I started to pick up on artists that had come from years past, mainly because the music in 2004/2005 was dreadful (Crazy Frog, Eamon, James Blunt...BOKE) I raided my older brothers cd collection and came across 'Kid A' - the first play of 'Everything in its Right Place' dumbfounded me and I was hooked. The release of Sofia Copella's 'Lost in Translation' not only provided my teenage self an insight to a similarly gloomy love life but a flawless soundtrack, the closing scenes saw 'Just Like Honey' blaring out as a sultry Bill Murray left Tokoyo's concrete playground.
The first generation of the mini ipod had hit the streets but I was rockin' (yep, not cool) the sony discman stuffed in my blazer pocket look, crumpling English notes in its wake. I wore doc martens shoes (not the boots because of the grief that would ensue from my strict school uniform) but thats as a "rebellious" as I got, and at that the only recognition they gained was from a ned by the neighbouring shit school who exclaimed "ho! Geeky shoooews!" in his nazely pre-ball dropping voice.
Great.
Six years on, having left lime and orange bacardi breezers behind (my jaw just clenched with sugary disgust at the very thought) I still have my docs and continue to experience 'Teenage Kicks'.
Being 16 was definitely the platform to a better life, the start of parties, the importance of music, the stereotypical heartache and having fun with friends and not having to worry about much else...until the exam results came in the post. For me joining the dots from then until now in terms of my likes and dislikes in music draws out a massive map of journeys, memories and experiences some which I am fond of, others I hope to forget in years to come
Enjoy the mix and the live set from the Arches!

sebastian
While the rain batters against your window cast your minds back to Wednesday when Kaleidoscope had brand new music from Anna Calvi, Eternal Summers, Metronomy and Holy Touch on the show. Joined in the studio by Sebastian Rivera Varas we get an insight into his musical mind as well as his thoughts on the records that he has chosen. Fresh from the John Maus gig the night previously, I talk a wee bit about his performance and play one of his tracks alongside Sleater Kinney, Aretha Franklin and the 'warm your bones perfect' Tame Impala track which is the show title.

We'll be blasting out tunes from Thirty-two favourites Jazz Spastiks, AGT Rave Cru and also giving you the first listen to our latest set, recorded live at Fiasco last weekend.
If you want to catch any of these guys live, we're on it. On Wednesday the 13th we'll have Mr. Manyana (Jazz Spastiks) and Ed Marco (Fiasco) bringing the Chicago vibe to Glasgow at In About It, and on the 22nd you can catch AGT Rave Cru and Simtek playing alongside us at our Die Late > Everything Starts with an E Launch Party.

Animal Hospital Monthly Check-up // 04.04.11
We are a bit strung out this month, so we'll let the music do the talking. And talk it will.
We've chosen to get a bit more excitable, after last month's foray into the dark murk. For that reason, we've elected to cast our attention somewhere a little bit hyperactive.
Our featured artist this month is Sébastien Léger, a frenchman who doesn't just make electro-filter house.
Our label is Form, brainchild of the mighty Popof.
Enjoy!

Fresh off the back of a rocking remix of Erphun's 'Brood2' and SLAM's 'Collecting Data', Sasha's productions continue to go from strength to strength gaining support from industry hard hitters ( Stephan Bodzin, SLAM, Tom Hades, Alan Fitzpatrick, Virgil Enzinger, Umek, Dustin Zahn, Spektre and The Advent ) as well as actively collaborating with fellow Italian, Joseph Capriati. As founder of Globox and Phobiq recordings the guy know how dance music should sound with super crisp production, powerful grooves splashed with twisted reverberations, noise and effects guaranteed in all of his works.
Sasha's Dj sets combine his love of techno, funk and breakbeat that create an explosive mixture that's definitely not to be missed.

house sounds
Strange, she thought, pausing on the landing, and assembling that diamond shape, that single person, strange how a mistress knows the very moment, the temper of her house! Faint sounds rose in spirals up the well of the stairs; the swish of a mop; tapping; knocking; a loudness when the front door opened; a voice repeating a message in the basement; the chink of silver on a tray; clean silver for a party. All was for the party.

This week, Buildings. We made a trip to St Peter's Seminary at Cardross, near Glasgow. A seminary is a training college for priests, and this one is quite spectacular. It was built in the '60s, but it's already derelict - a modern masterpiece with the atmosphere of an ancient ruin. We spoke to Mark Baines at GSA about this intriguing building. While you're listening, you can look at pictures on our blog. We also have half a feature on the fascinating London Sound Survey. More on this next time when our theme is Ghosts.

The Kaleidoscope team (producer Scott & I) have been joined in the studio by 'the one who does not speak' also known as Alice Esher, for the last couple of weeks. Finally in this episode we manage to coax her to the mic to not only broadcast her voice to the Subcity masses but also bring some tracks in to let us hear what goes on in her musical world. On top of this we have an ode to the Hetherington chaos that was descending at the time in the form of our 'Midday Madness Cure'. Music from Ariel Pink's Hauted Graffiti, Love Inks, Metronomy, Girls, Star Slinger, LCD Soundsystem, Craft Spells, StewRat and The Hundred in Hands also make it on to our 'Morning Light' playlist. Rub those eyes, stretch and open your ears to these sounds.

have you seen any rainbows recently?
On the table beside the thurible, a brightly coloured book was lying open. I approached and saw four strips of different colours on the page: yellow, cinnabar, turqouise and burnt sienna. A dragon was set there, horrible to see, a great dragon with ten heads, dragging after him the stars of the sky... And suddenly I saw the dragon multiply, and the scales of his hide become a kind of forest of glittering shards that came off the page and took to circling around my head.

to tell the truth, this could be the last time
This week: end of an era. As James Murphy lays LCD Soundsystem to rest, we dedicate an entire show to one of the most important bands of the past decade. Think of it like the helplines they set up for teenage girls when Take That split up, only with more jaded twenty-somethings.

descended path «º« producers takeover
A cave or cavern is a natural underground space large enough for a human to enter. Some people suggest that the term cave should only apply to natural cavities some part of which is in total darkness; however, in popular usage, the term includes smaller spaces like sea caves, rock shelters, and grottos. Speleology is the science of exploration and study of all aspects of caves and the environment which surrounds the caves.
Throughout history, primitive peoples have made use of caves for shelter, burial, or as religious sites. Since items placed in caves are protected from the climate and scavenging animals, this means caves are an archaeological treasure house for learning about these people. Cave paintings are of particular interest. One example is the Great Cave of Niah, in Malaysia, which contains evidence of human habitation dating back 40,000 years. Another, the Diepkloof Rock Shelter in South Africa contains evidence of human habitation and use of symbols dating back 60,000 years.
Porth yr Ogof is an open access cave with several entrances and a very bad reputation for deaths. The cave is very much overused by adventure groups and for military training. The main route follows the river which in wet weather flows into the main entrance, the largest entrance in Wales (20 m wide and 3 m high). This route is generally very wide and between 10 and 1.5 m high. Upstream inlets enter a complex divers only area and to the right inside the main area, a complex of passages bypasses a deep section in the main route. A survey is available on the UBSS site. The resurgence pool at the water exit is the area that has claimed so many lives, being 4-5 m deep and cold with undercuts and strong under-currents. As there are 15 entrances - the most of any cave in Wales - the exit is best avoided by using one of the other entrances. Notices within the cave before the exit pool warn of the danger and point to the safe ways out.
The current death list follows. Please do not add to this list. Only very experienced cavers who are strong swimmers should attempt to cross the resurgence pool.
23 June 1957 Leonard Garraway (experienced) [20] died crossing the resurgence pool
20 June 1966 B. Speakman [age unknown] died crossing the resurgence pool
7 August 1968 Anthony Stannard (experienced) [28] died crossing the resurgence pool
18 October 1970 Stephen Sedgewick (novice) [18] died crossing the resurgence pool
13 February 1971 Paul Esser (trainee cave diver) [21] died while diving in an upstream sump - not the resurgence pool
19 July 1973 Graham Alston (cadet soldier, novice) [15] died crossing the resurgence pool
22 July 1981 Adrian Luck (novice) [28] died crossing the resurgence pool
28 July 1986 Gwynfor Hughes (outdoor persuits instructor leading a party) [45] died of a heart attack whilst installing a rope across the resurgence pool
16 June 1992 Amanda Stead (soldier [sometimes incorrectly stated as an army cadet], novice) [26] died crossing the resurgence pool
14 October 1992 Graham Lipp (one of two leaders of a party of children from an outdoor pursuits centre) [34] died crossing the resurgence pool, while trying to retrieve the body of a 15 year old from his party who had just drowned in the pool but was successfully revived

electronic honking and walking
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 01.04.11
A bit of bitter banter with No Means Yes, a tip of the hat to Glasgow's first Electronic Music Awards, a shout out to Alex Smoke and a missed birthday greeting to Harry and Vile's sister: the opening ten minutes are jam packed with Vile disasters, that only recede as the parade of guests arrive.
Balkanarama is remembered and respected, Take A Worm for a Walk Week speak of their future ambitions as cover stars for adult magazines, a spot of Scottish Opera, words from the Arches and the CCA, and the usual eclectic musical selection (and rancour between the musical tastes of Vile and Parlane). However, the interview with Jeremy Millar is a great walk through of his exhibition, and Platform 18 offers a performance supergroup.

deal with it
'I agree with many of the views expressed here (and have felt this way before).
It makes sense that deadbeat club would plea to songmeanings.net (it's known by radio experts that on radio shows, underprepared presenters almost invariably resort to songmeanings.net... this phenomenon transcends time and space to be almost universal).
Powerful and moving do not begin to describe the force of this show. Deadbeat club have tapped into something (emotions, memories) that is almost dangerous to contemplate. A truly beautiful show.
Anyone who has worked in a studio (i have, actually) will tell you this is so rare as to be amazing. Just makes me love the song more.

shiny new things
...in which I play a selection of records that are not chronologically schizophrenic in the least. I know the Worst Chips Ever all three of you listeners know and love has built it's continental reputation on a solid foundation of plopping out a pre WW2 primative blues 78' right after a throbbing gob of lo-fi noise scuzz recorded in someones bedroom the night before and available in an edition of 10... but tonight I'm keepinbg this strictly 2011.. OK, that's essentially a massive porky, as I'm gonna be dropping some mythical Brazilian psyche to kick things off in tribute to the great Lula Cortes who sadly popped his clogs recently. And yeah, fair enough, there will be a wee little something from the reissue of The Black Artists Group seminal free jazz opus "In Paris, Aries 1973"... but sandwiched inbetween them it's all stuff from the last three months. I hope...
So you can look forward to that incredible new UK funky banger on Hyperdub from Funkystepz, the latest transmission from the chilly trance-folk universe of Christina Carter, weirdo late night fuzz disco from Maria Minerva, earworm candy pop from Dirty Marquee and Illum Sphere remixing Bjork.
Contemporary as FUCK mate.

We give you our three-way combined guarantee of an hour of absolute pleasure, but if you're not satisfied then Dan will sort you out in the GU bogs if you email your phone number into the station.

dark matters
Source Tags and Mixtapes // 31.03.11
This week's show focuses on music rooted in the black metal sound, though all of the tracks here stretch the definition of the genre in some way. A lot of the focus is on interesting acts coming out of the U.S. rather than on black metal's origins in Norway, though the show does kick off with a couple of artists from there.
As well as this week's recommended record, I'd like to draw your attention to Mamaleek, a very experimental (and shadowy) duo from San Francisco. You can pay what you want (or don't pay at all) for their new record "Kurdaitcha", which is available for download here. Pick it up on vinyl if you like what you hear - it's limited to 150 copies!
I'll be doing loose genre-specific shows like this from time to time. In doing so I hope to provide an introduction of sorts to certain types of music through personal recommendations. Let me know if you think this is a good idea by leaving me a comment here.
Fuck kvlt - you are not excluded. This music is for you, whoever you may be.

I can't stress enough what Subcity has done to us to force us into the position of caring less, but it wouldn't be too hard to imagine. Just Google Paul Shane and You've Lost That Loving Feeling.

This time the gun will be pointed at the heads of London's producers. But don't worry Ninja Tune will be safe, that's another of long stories saved for the future. Cigarette smoke, taste of red wine on the lips in obscure jazz pubs and underground clubs, the fever of the big city and uncomfortable thoughts blinded by the lights explode in a blend of completely diverse interpretations of downtempo. Not always so chillout.

dubstep history
tonite::tonite::tonite
Before it became as commonplace as the term 'Angular Guitar Music' Dubstep was once seen as an exciting new derirative hybrid genre stalking out of garage b-sides and the like. Very quickly we were all salivating over each new prospective DMZ, Hyperdub, Deep Medi or Tectonic release and so it continued for a few bass driven years which we aim to pay homage to. From here we go to the second wave of producers from various other genres, expanding, evolving the notion of what the music could be whilst undeniably raising the production bar. We then finnish up by taking a look at some of the biggest tunes from the past two years whilst asking head in hands 'where did it all go wrong?' This is merely our own interpretation of how things have went and since we only have two hours can't really look at many of the great new music that has been influenced by or is a direct offshoot of the dubstep sound... Hope you darlings enjoy

toes on the nose // surfer rock
Tarantism explore a genre of music that has been known and loved throughout the latter half of the 20th century by both surfers and non-surfers alike. Paying particular attention to genre pioneer, Dick Dale (a.k.a. the 'King of the Surf Guitar'), friend and Surfer Rock lover Alex Martin joins us in the studio to give help discuss the cultural, social and musical impact the genre had on 1950s and 60s west-coast USA.
Acting as a bridge between rock-n-roll and psychadelic rock, the chilled but groove-orientated sounds of Surfer Rock have been perpetuated throughout the years by both the original recordings from the 50s and 60s, as well as the continual re-invention and re-use of the style by musicians and producers from all over the world. Bands like The Coral and Queens of the Stone Age attribute much of their musical style to Surfer Rock, as well as even more contemporary acts like Dent May, who in the year 2011 are still paying homage to a genre that was first conceived over 50 years ago.
Enjoy.

This was the first poem by Lawrence that I have read, and it is beautiful!!!!!!!!! On an evening like this, it fits perfectly! I hope it was as beautiful with you as it was with me!

This episode features a little more heavily on the founding vibe of the show - our love for hip hop and rap, both commercial as somewhat guilty pleasure modern pop music, and the more underground artists that are on their way up by doing their own thing. The Weekend are creeping across the internet, and they personify everything Jamie and I love about modern R&B. Here's hoping they blow up something crazy.

easter challenge - day eleven!
GOODMORNINGALL!
Day eleven's poem has to be 'Macavity: The Mystery Cat' by TS Eliot!!!!! http://www.poetry-online.org/eliot_macavity_the_mystery_cat.htm
Oh what a wonderful poem it is!!!!! As a cat-lover and owner myself I know that the contents of this poem are incredibly true!!!!!!! It is a beautifully written poem and completely captures the characteristics of a cheeky cat!!!!
Most of you probably know the this poem from the musical Cats, a musical that, I must admit, I am not particularly keen on!!!!!! However, It remains a beautiful poem, one that is a lot of fun to read allowed! Try it!
"And they say that all the Cats whose wicked deeds are widely known (I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone) Are nothing more than agents for the Cat who all the time Just controls their operations: the Napoleon of Crime!"

easter challenge - day eight, nine and ten!
BOOKCLUBBERS WELCOME!
Apologies for a combined number of days!!!! I have been reading my poems, just not writing them up here! I am now writing to you from my beautiful bedroom at home in sunny Lancashire! EXCITING TIMES! So let us go back to Thursday and see what was rocking the poetry boat........
Day Eight - 'Daffodils' by William Wordsworth. On Thursday I left Glasgow (Sad sad sad), but ohmygoodness what beautiful weather it was! On my way to university I walked past Park and saw the beautiful Daffodils on the embankment. Immediately it was this poem that sprung to mind! And what a wonderful poem it is! Wordsworth's attention to detail in this poem is incredible and I guarantee just reading it will transport you to a hillside somewhere surrounded by a blanket of yellow daffodils. See what you think.....http://www.poetry-online.org/wordsworth_daffodils.htm
"My heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils."
Day Nine - 'The Owl and the Pussycat' by Edward Lear. This is one of my ultimate favourite poems! As a child I had it written on a painted plate in my room. It was always above my bed so I would read it as I went off to sleep. It is without a doubt one of the best childhood poems ever written! I remember reading it to the class at School when I was in Year 8 - very nerve racking! The rhyme scheme in this poem is so so simple, but it really captures the reader, and creates a rhythm which allows us to picture the two characters dancing at the end in perfect harmony. The romance in the poem is something that will remain with me forever, as my introduction to romance! http://www.nonsenselit.org/Lear/ns/pussy.html
"Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl! How charmingly sweet you sing! O let us be married! too long have we tarried: But what shall we do for a ring?'"
Day Ten - 'Wild Nights' by Emily Dickinson. After waking up to a cold and grey morning, it was time for a bit of 'Wild Nights'! It is a short, but very very effective poem! Its wild and ferocious description of the see, is to me incredibly romantic and exciting! As a lover of the sea, anything related to it has attracts me! Just close your eyes while you read it, and imagine the sea and a special someone! http://www.potw.org/archive/potw58b.html
"Were I with thee, Wild nights should be Our luxury!"

we're still going... for the kids.
The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 25.03.11
Tune in for another jam packed, full fat edition of The All Day Cheeky Breakfast. Kev is off playing Badders, so Mikkers and Callum are joined in the studio by the incandescent Big Gay Tom to add his southern views and passing observations to the cohort.
We discuss the news in brief, talk about recent happenings at the University, enjoy a "delicious" Teen Talk, narrowly miss the spirit of Diana and of course we find out how Lisa Varty is doing.
Great tracks as well from The Clash, The Beatles, Steely Dan and of course, the man himself - Prince. All in all, it's not to be missed. Remember to contact us with all your complaints, compliments and critique to alldaycheeky@gmail.com and don't forget to tune in next week, 10AM at www.subcity.org!

one more joke and a bag of coke...
Once again I braved the Subcity studio alone, without my unreliable yet reassuring co host Johnny. I was joined by INSTINCTIVE RACOON records co creator Jamie Webster. Jamie played us a couple of his favourite songs and brought with him the loud, but ever endearing Ross Clark of Three Blind Wolves.
Have a listen and enjoy.
Ross is playing with TBW in the Arches tonight with Open Swimmer and Bwani Junction. Also playing tonight is Glasgow's Otherpeople with Carnivores and You Already Know as part of Glasgow PodcART's Mix up Mayhem night in Bloc. After that if I am still standing I will be going for a dance at Clouds in the Subclub.
Back again in two weeks. Love x
Posted at 14:50, 25th March 2011
don't worry!
So I realise that I Haven't had a show in about the last moth, but never fear, I will most defiantly be back in two weeks! So expect the usual mix of all that's good in folk and indie music, interspersed with a little babbling from my self!

you say you want a revolution?
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 25.03.11
Producer Harry breaks cover - following his acts of guerilla film-making, he is currently in hiding from both the forces of establishment repression and radical revolution - to prevent Gareth K Vile from making any jokes about student protest. Fortunately, a packed programme ensures that Vile has got his serious face on.
Howie Reeve from Tattie Toes kicks off the Hour, before Lizzie Cass Maran of the Skinny comes in to talk comedy. Then a quick visit to the park for a spot of zombie spotting, and a chat with Lent Fest's artistic director keeps Vile on the straight and narrow. He then pauses to top up his Kinky Karma... before being booted off his own show, again.

memphis
2066, the Zombie Alan Lomax swings his cyber machete, cutting through the digital undergrowth, tripping over expired mediafire links, brushing away low bitrate transcodes, 96kpbs distorted cassette rips, bass overload, in the red...untagged! cautiously, he enters the sordid depths of the sonic jungle, seedy blogspots, depraved fragmented tumblr postings, pixelated jpegs, trap doors...blogs last updated 4 years ago, the graveyard. a box of tapes. hazy... sinister cassette jams from 90s Memphis, Tennessee. Production values = el zilcho
horrorcore? not quite, beneath the murk and tape hiss there's a groove, distant remnants of funk and soul + the early seeds of the crunk movement (see episode: http://www.subcity.org/shows/itsatrap/31422/)
post show note: the cassette motif worked out quite well: lousy sound quality and abrupt endings...authenticity!

live: mass meeting with the principal
Subcity Update should be bringing you the principal's emergency open meeting with staff and students to you live. That is unless the builders dig up the secret cable we have had planted in the Bute Hall for the past 16 years.
This emergency meeting was announced yesterday after the events of the 22/03/2011 where both university security staff and Strathclyde police attempted to evict students from the "Free" Hetherington. The incident drew the attention of the media across Scotland as the police launched a major operation in an attempt to control the situation that arose which included police dogs, a helicopter and after the eviction police on horses patrolling the area.
The incident has caused major embarrassment to both the University of Glasgow and Strathclyde Police as questions were asked about the "disproportionate nature" of the operation.
To comment while the meeting takes place head to www.facebook.com/subcityupdate or tweet to us @SubcityUpdate

Pop Goes The Revolution // 25.03.11
It's been a while since we've played a whole batch of new artists. So we've gone away and brought you a whole batch of artists never before played on the show. To songs inspired about chemical processes to songs that sample people chatting about staring into volcanoes, a whole new list of bands join the PGTR playlists.
If that weren't enough, on top of all our usual features, we'll be bringing you the lineup to PGTR Live II - happening on the 14th April at The Captain's Rest.

protest/summer special
Hunks, hunks hunks // 24.03.11
"oh look its the Hunks protest special why don't I listen?" yeah why DON'T you? Because you are a self centered little snotbag piece of crap, flip you. Or if you ain't a jerk and just wanna josh around, its also the Hunks: SUMMER SPECIAL.
Because everyone is protesting that they want summer NOW and then the police were like "Thats unfair we only get on holiday for summer" so everyone started being jerks.
Look, we all like summer. Sand, orange juice and sunshine and shades. But please, being a jerk ain't gonna make Mr Sunshine turn up at your party.

fuck you lemsip
I'm on some Unlucky Alf shit right here. Swear down.
In the park next door to my house there are feral Rangers fans with taps aff smacking footballs square in the face of students on that hill. Old Swampy is loitering with the sheer intent of talking to you, off on another one of his gargling poppers or eating dog poo sized kernels of hash and banging on about he had all his dub 7 inches stolen by someone at a party and he finally managed to get reunited with his family when some mad bastard taught him how to use the internet and he did the whole Friends Reunited out yer face on cheap Brandy shtick.
Frosty Jacks is getting supped and warm tonic wine is at that stage where its all spicky and weird and calpoly. Some skater just vommed next to that ice cream van where that NEDS style hammer incident happened a few years back. One of those fucking horrendous Glaswegian just stepped outta the Belle and Sebastian LP cover goons is tootering around on one of those lame bicycles (never a BIKE with these twee cunts, eh?) and everyone on the hill secretly wants her to fall off and graze her sickeningly smug face off and go all Mel Gibson in Man Without A Face. Try getting your leg over at a Camera Obscura gig with THAT look loser!
Some weirdo on day release is feeding the ducks. That ALWAYS happens.
Anyway all that bop is happening in the park but I'm indoors in bed and I do not feel well at all.
So I've bunked off the studio stuff tonight and instead produced this mix of odd from old and new stuff I've been digging recently. Including a new one from Falty DL's latest, some archive synth action, NDW spittle subversionists Die Todliche Doris, abusive reaction wind and brass humping from Arnold Dreyblatt and Colin Stenson, total underground brain-out with Acid Birds and more.

the red room runs the voodoo down
In what is probably our most/least controversial episode yet, we discussed such topics as the recent events surrounding the Free Hetherington and the students who are occupying it, the times where you find a total bargain in a used record shop of a totally amazing record, and the horrors of employment.
We also discussed encounters with crazed Englishmen, attending wedding receptions, and also inserted several references to The Simpsons throughout the episode, see if you can find them.
In addition to all that, we discussed the latest films we had seen, including films by Stanley Kubrick (Barry Lyndon), Wayne Wang (The Joy Luck Club), Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Freidman (Howl), and more.

Expect the usual compendium of sheer noise terror, quasi-religious bullshit and relentlessly overwhelming urge to rip yr own womb out. Then we'll stop talking and play some tunes.

episode 26: mountains out of molehills
We did have a super cool idea for this show, but unfortunately we were poltely requested to refrain from carrying that idea out by the Subcity Board of Management. So, instead what we've done is we have replaced our usual chat about how many girls cheeys has failed to have sex with this week, with a unique overview of the Campus goings on from the past week. With such colourful viewpoints, who knows what will be the conclusion? All we know is that it's worth a listen.

live broadcast from src council meeting tonight
Subcity Update will be broadcasting live from the SRC Council Meeting tonight, where amongst other business, an emergency motion which calls for disciplinary action against Hetherington occupiers is being discussed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The motion is as follows:
"The SRC opposes any kind of occupation that affects the quality of learning and teaching, such as the continuing occupation of the Hetherington Research Club. Furthermore the SRC requests that the University takes disciplinary action against:
a) Any student who vandalizes or damages university property
b) Any student that assaults university staff
c) Any student whom actively seek to disturb the learning and teaching environment of the university.
Council reaffirms its commitment to free expression and consultation, in a constructive manner, in keeping with the University of Glasgow’s tradition of student representation. "
In accordance with the SRC Constitution Schedule 6, Section 3.2, I hereby submit an ‘Emergency Motion’. We consider this matter to be time sensitive, because discussion is ongoing with the University regarding the continued occupation of the Hetherington Research Club is ongoing and there is a growing demand from fellow students for the SRC Council to take a stronger stance against the actions of University Students on Tuesday 22nd March 2011.
I trust an email will suffice as a submission in writing. However should your require written consent, we hope you will allow us sufficient time to do so.
Yours Sincerely Matt Morrison (SRC Clubs and Societies Officer)
Seconded by:
- Ana Cohen (Post Graduate Convenor)
- Flo Weber (Arts College Convenor)
- Hannah Mary Goodlad (College of Science Convenor)
- Ellen Grant (Charities Officer)
- Stuart Ritchie (College of Social Science Convenor)
- Jenny Court (Women’s Officer)
- Suzanne Milne (General Rep)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
We understand that Flo Weber (Arts College Convenor) has since withdrawn his support for the motion.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 24.03.11
This week's playlist has a lot of catchy, straightforward pop-rock brought to you by likes of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Girls and The Smashing Pumpkins. J Mascis makes a whole lot less noise with a track from his new solo LP, and Explosions in the Sky get to the point a whole lot quicker with their new song "Trembling Hands". TV on the Radio bring this week's Recommended Record ahead of the release of their upcoming album "Nine Types of Light". A final treat comes in the form of a Public Enemy cover by the Dillinger Escape Plan. Featuring fuckin' Chuck D. That's what I'm talkin' about.
Tune in next week for something a little more sinister.

P.S. Here's a download link to the free Smashing Pumpkins album mentioned in today's show: "MACHINA II: The Friends and Enemies of Modern Music". The link works at the time of writing.

dave reed special
Pop Goes The Revolution // 18.03.11
Well the famous random letter selecting powers of Dave Reed have been used many times before on the show. So it felt only right we used his marvellous invention for a special guide through the historical back catalogue.
We play songs from the first two series of PGTR for those that might have missed our younger years BC (before Caroline). And to help us choose the songs from the back catalogue, we enlisted Dave's excellent random letter selecting abilities. So join us as we scrape over old forgotten playlists to pick out a few gems from yester PGTR year.

The new Jackie Your Body episode will feature a mix from the Freak Beat's Blog from Kaptain Cadillac. His new sound of french juke and mixing has been on repeat for me along with DJ Rashad's most recent record on Ghettophiles; Just a Taste. Get some tissues, I've realised this is a pretty emotional record, well as emotional 160bpm juke music can be. I'll also be playing some DJ Manny, another Ghettophile boy who released Harvey World back in January.

This is another wonderful children's poem, and believe me it still makes me smile today. I love it! I used to love doing the voices for this poem with my Grannie, and even today it is a fantastic poem to have a read over. Basically, AA Milne is just a genius!
Here is a link: http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-king-s-breakfast/
'The Queen took The butter And brought it to His Majesty; The King said, "Butter, eh?" And bounced out of bed. "Nobody," he said, As he kissed her Tenderly, "Nobody," he said, As he slid down the banisters, "Nobody, My darling, Could call me A fussy man - BUT I do like a little bit of butter to my bread!'

masha was beaming // tailor made
On this episode we started of with one of the best remix's I've heard in a good while. Floating points have always been a favourite with their own productions but they also know what it means to remix a song, both making it their own and respecting the original.
Apart from that we played a tune from the début release from Koreless who we had play at our last Deadly Rhythm party and loads of new stuff from FaltyDL, BNJMN, Joy O and the massive 'Thomp'and 'When I dip' from Instra:Mental. Big stuff.
To hear those last two in their proper surroundings Deadly Rhythm will be hosting Instra:Mental at our next party on 16th April.

easter challenge - day six
DAY SIXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Today is the day for some Roger McGough! I have chosen his poem 'You and I'.......here is a link: http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-and-i/
A short but extremely good poem for today! I have been to see Roger McGough at poetry readings a few times and he is utterly superb. I love his use of rhythm and punctuation in this poem, really gives it some bite. Let me know what you think!
'You bleed. I see crocodile tears. I withdraw. You reel from the impact.'
Posted at 19:49, 22nd March 2011
deep, dark and dingey,
Loads of dark tunes on the show this week, as you may have guessed.
Got 3 new productions from the Thirty-two massive and a special back to back set a bit later on as well.
We have also introduced our first feature, "Twonko's Late". Oh aye, we're rockin' the features now.
Don't like it? Try it, you might like it!

So, yeah, everything we're playing this week dropped within the last few days either online or in record stores. Doesn't get fresher than that. We're loving Pusha T's new material from his upcoming Fear of God mixtape on Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music label - seriously different feel from his typical coke rap style of Clipse, but rappers can do pop music brilliantly, albeit not very often. Pusha T seems to have a good thing going here. Killer Mike is consistently fire, and Chris Brown is making his comeback as their heir to Usher's dancer/singer/heart-throb throne, albeit with a public awareness of his domestic abuse incident with Rihanna. There's something rather bitter about the whole tale - how quickly a public can forgive and forget. "I don't care if Michael touched those boys, Billie Jean is my jam!". Yeah, heard it before. It really does appear to be the case that there's no such things as bad publicity. Still, we'll see how this one rolls out. We're still obsessed with the cryptic The Weekend - we're dying to here more material - and Wiz Khalifa has quickly asserted himself as Top 40 pop without even dropping his debut yet. Rap truly is the new pop.
Posted at 23:07, 21st March 2011
Jamie and I have a real soft spot/passion for R&B producers such as Just Blaze, Timbaland, Ryan Leslie, The-Dream, et al. The list goes on. Your childhood jams were pretty much all made by these guys, and we think they're modern pop music at it's best. We're also into the new Hyperdub releases, which show us that the summer of funky house that we drank and danced to a few summers ago is still alive and well with releases from Funkystepz and Ill Blu. Real mixed bag here, hope you're down.
Posted at 23:00, 21st March 2011
Our ethos is always to represent the music that we love and to play you the newest possible music every week - be it through hunting through blogs, getting exclusives and white labels minutes before the show, and the occasional sneaky under-the-table record that has passed through very few hands indeed. Sometimes the music isn't fresh that week, or that day, but they'll be gems that fit seamlessly with what's brand new too. The new Jacques Greene remix dropped the morning of the show, OFWGKTA seem to be taking over with their second album, and Koreless is yet another example of the many stupidly young and stupidly talented producers dropping great tracks on a regular basis. That, and r'n'b goes with everything. Musical hot sauce.

easter challenge - day three, four and five
BookClubbers, apologies for the combination of these three days! I have been in Edinburgh over the weekend and finally touched down back in Glasgow!
Day Three - On Saturday morning I read Tennyson's 'Tithonus' for the first time in about a year. Oh such a good poem! I studied Tennyson at school and this was always one of my favourites out of his collection. Like Hardy, Tennyson's ability to capture the emotion of the narrator is incredible. It is hard not to feel very involved with the life of Tithonus in this poem. Have a read and let me know what you think! http://charon.sfsu.edu/tennyson/TITHONUS.HTML
'The woods decay, the woods decay and fall,'
Day Four - Yesterday was time for a childhood classic! After a tiring weekend it was nice to snuggle up in bed on a Sunday night with a bit of AA Milne! I read his delightful poem 'Lines and Squares'. This was my favourite poem as a childhood, and I can remember it being read to me endlessly. My dad was of course wonderful at it, but my Grannie was incredible! I remember she bought my a copy of the Milne poems and I always begged her to read this one to me. She did the voices wonderfully! Even today I still play this game! It is set in London, so whenever I go I am always playing lines and squares in my head. I even did it when I went two weeks ago at the age of 18! Next time you are walking down the street, watch out for those bears! http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lines-and-squares/
"Whenever I walk in a London street, I'm ever so careful to watch my feet;"
Day Five - TODAY! Seamus Heaney day I feel! Another one from the schooldays! I studied this poem, 'Death of a Naturalist' in Year 10 for my GCSE's and immediately fell in love with Heaney as a poet. I have been obsessed with his work ever since. So thank you to my GCSE teacher Mr Bisset!!!!!! I especially love this poem because of its descriptions, they are incredible. The immense attention to detail makes you feel like you are the one literally seeing the Frogspawn in the pond. The way Heaney uses these descriptions to emphasise his themes is another fascinating element which draws me in all the more! I hope you like it too! http://www.eliteskills.com/c/9327
"Some sat
Poised like mud grenades, their blunt heads farting.
I sickened, turned, and ran. The great slime kings
Were gathered there for vengeance and I knew
That if I dipped my hand the spawn would clutch it."

guest - horizontal ground (1n4)
Extra special how this week as we host a fantastic guest mix from the highly secretive HORIZONTAL GROUND collective. provided by producer 1N4.
Since parent label FROZEN BORDER launched in early 2009, the collective have fired out some of the most modern innovative techno in years which is reminiscent of artists such as Dan Bell, Robert Hood, Basic Channel, Downwards Mexus 21/Mark Archer, LFO, Robert Gordon, Peter Ford, Joey Beltram and Sleeparchive.
Since Horizontal Ground was released as a sub label, it can boast a large number of the world's top ranking djs as followers, with the outlook that it should be more about the music than the producer behind it.

radio presenter abducted
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 18.03.11
After the previous week’s debacle, when Vile’s plaintive appeal for Harry touched the hearts of both his regular listeners, and the complaints from all quarters about the general lack of technical expertise, bad fact checking and pretentious monologues that replaced the usual conversations between Vile and his producer, Harry is safely returned to the fold. Just in time, too: with a bumper line up of guests, the studio has never been as crowded. Even Keith Richards turns up with some advice.
Vile’s roving has taken him to Edinburgh, where he spoke to Dee from the Itsy Collective about the forthcoming Torture Garden. Gary MCNair explains his work with the National Theatre of Scotland and Nick Underhill gives a taster for his next play at the Tron, What Happened Is This. The studio is upsurbed by the Wee Man and Bratchy, leaving Gareth struggling in the cupboard, hog-tied and gagged. You can even hear him struggling to escape during one of Bratchy’s introductions.
Interviewed following his dramatic escape – after Harry found the key to the handcuffs – Vile claims that the show is taking shape. “The mixture of music, both local and visiting, and performance is becoming clearer. I’ve also learnt that Harry’s advice to me about broadcasting was very useful, and I regret ignoring it. I also regret putting on that Patrick Wolf track. Harry was right. It is not very good. But I am not apologising for the Van Der Graaf number.”

soul cellar special with stephen and trevor
A few months back Stephen Scanlan and Trevor Ford invited me to their club The Soul cellar.
As well as taking a box of records I packed the digi corder and taped three hours of solid soul and funk sounds.
Both Trevor and Stephen played some great soul and funk sides mostly up tempo and a lot were new to me.
We've selected some tunes played on that night and we'll be chatting about them, what's happening to the The Soul Cellar and a joint club nigh Stephen's involved with.
But mostly the show will be devoted to the music

The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 18.03.11
Tune in for a low fat serving of the All Day Cheeky Breakfast!
Without Callum "The regulator" Smith in the studio Kevin and Michael run riot. What little moral conventions they had previously fly out the window in the 2 hour onslaught.
We find out what's wrong with Varty, we delve into another Hidden Gem, the spirit of Diana descends once more, and we are visited in the studio by the one and only Big Gay Tom.
Not only do we have all these features, but we also are visited by a real life, genuine Turk!
Ceniz is her name, and she wants to tell us all about STaG's new 'found spaces' piece No Way Out. More importantly, she wants to tell us where Hummus REALLY comes from.
The away team then take on the home side in a heated Defend The Indefensible, an epic match not to be missed.
Tune in, get your cheek on.
Over and out, Bacon Fries!

dirtbox: last japan & calvertron interviews +
OHKAY!
Another busy week of getting good content together has come and gone, but what a show we have for you.
Another prerecorded show (due to Mungos & Uni Commitments...)will see us presenting to you - Dirt Box, a fresh monthly night at Stereo brought to you by Fraser Welsh & Crocky! The boys launched last month, with a banging line up of local dj's to support the massive dj/producer Will Bailey, and this month, they have turned the heat up.
Next week will see the Glasgow debut of Last Japan, along with Calvertron, who has been an established producer on the UK electronic music scene for well over ten years, notably as one half of duo Twocker among more. So to get you hyped, we caught up with the guys on thursday ahead of the Glasgow gig to find out what they've been getting up to, what we can expect from them next Friday and anything they could spill about what they have in the pipeline. If that's not enough, the Electrikal soundsystem will be powering this one, so get bass faces at the ready. Here's the event:
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=178507788854245
We'll be giving away guestlist + 1 to the event so tune in tomorrow to find out how you can get your mits on that. We'll be announcing that on the day.
Aswell as that, we'll be playing a Last Japan mix for Big Up Podcast, and an exclusive Calvertron mix for Dirt Box on next weeks show. Also on next weeks show, we will have some exclusive productions from De_Phect, Pete Mullen with live vocals from Lu Angel, so it's not one to miss. We have put together a schedule of content right through until May, so keep your eyes peeled and ears to the ground for more information on upcoming guests... trust me, there's some mega exciting stuff coming up..
In other news, after our final night Blackfriars last week, The Subfriction crew have been keeping busy and getting prepared for our re-launch at Club 520. Mega thanks to all the DJ's who came down to Blackfriars like Indra, Skandy, Bungo, NoFace, Taz Buckfaster and All Caps, we had a great time! If you aren't up to speed, here's the link to the Subfriction Tumblr, where you can find some great stuff plus all the info on our move.

This show featured a selection of excellent funky cuts chosen by Layman and a special "Sweet 16" mix recorded by Romance in celebration of Subcity Radio's 16th birthday. Happy birthday Subcity!
Thanks to regular guest Sarah "Shawsome" Shaw for joining towards the end of the show to keep Layman company.

easter challenge - day two
Morning BookClubbers
Day Two = Poem Two!!!!!!
Another of my favourite poets today, Thomas Hardy. I adore his poetry!
I have chosen his poem 'The Going' for today. This one of my favourite's of his, but also has a lot of significance to me through personal experience. Here is a link to the poem: http://www.poetryconnection.net/poets/Thomas_Hardy/2716
I first read this poem at a time when I had lost someone very close to me. The accurateness of Hardy's description of the emotions one feels at the time of a loss is incredible, and for me was spot on. When you read it, focus on his use of techniques and how he uses these to convey his emotion.
It really is a very, very beautiful poem.
"I seem but a dead man held on end
To sink down soon...O you could not know
That such swift fleeing
No soul foreseeing -
Not even I - would undo me so!"

Manchester. Fuck all to answer for, now you ask, y'nosey cunt.
The Peterloo Massacre. The civic totem of the Chartist and Suffragette movements. The worlds first nuclear free city. Fuck, the worlds first CITY In industrial terms. Cottonopolis. Friedrich Engels Dad's factory was kickin' about, his broke mate Charlie Marx and him came up with a few ideas. It was one of our lot who first imported E into the British Isles too, so sorry about that.
And then there was Acid House and shit. Factory. Which everyone knows about. Joy Division, New Order, all that. Oh aye, the birth of the Football League and the Trades Union Congress happened in the capital of the north too.
This is part one of a personal view of the Mancuniun underground. We have more to offer than testosterone fuelled cock slapping Gallagher tragedy snuff rock. Serious.
Guy Called Gerald. The Stranger. Irma Vep. Big Flame. Tools You Can Trust. Infinite Light. Autechre.

mesak (harmonia)
This episode of Wavy Graves hosts a live set of new material from Harmonia’s Mesak. Oscillating bleeps and micro glitches stutter and falter over raw synth harmonies and experimental tonalities, all under laid with almost acidic basslines. This robotic, left field electro-funk is skweee at its darkest.
Alongside our favourite finnish electronica we’ve got some fresh post dubstep from Boxcutter. ‘Allele’ is off his latest release on Planet Mu and integrates the scattered toms of footwork with contemporary garage vocals. We also rinsed some fractured, sub aquatic sounding 8 bit from Dem Hunger from his split with Cupp Cave. We then reduced the tempo to 108bpm with some tracks from 'the fall of moombahton' compilation from Heartbreak.

easter challenge - day one
BookClubbers HELLO!!!
Today is Day 1 of our Easter Challenge! I hope you have read or are going to read your daily poem!
Today I have chosen to read my favourite poem OF ALL TIME, 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock'
Here is a link to a copy of the poem: http://www.bartleby.com/198/1.html
I first discovered the poem about two years ago, when my old English Lit teacher suggested it to me. It was indeed love at first sight with this poem! Have a read through it and consider the use of imagery and the self deprecation of Prufrock himself. It remains my aim in life to find J. Alfred Prufrock. Never mind Brad Pitt, Prufrock is perfection.
'I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.'

family
Live From Las Vegas // 16.03.11
Oh families. I remember my family. Odd lot of pricks so the were. There was one day when father of my family came home from work early and heard the strange noises mother was making. He rushed upstairs to see what the cause of such commotion was. He found mother on the bed naked, sweating, and breathing heavily. "What the cuss is going on?" enquired father. "I'm having a heart attack" replied mother. Father rushed downstairs to call an ambulance so that mother could be safely taken to hospital. Before the call could go through, however, sister came through and said to father: "Uncle is hiding upstairs in your closet; he's completely naked!” Father dropped the phone, marched upstairs, opened closet and proceeded to kick the cuss out of uncle while screaming "you cussing prink! My wife is having a heart attack and you're running around naked scaring the kids!”
"Happy families", my mother whispered. "Happy Families".

show 18: droning in express stella
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 17.03.11
This week sees the continued separation of The Awkward Sons. Faced with having to fill in whilst Chris is grounded on account of his rampant drug abuse and horrific porn collection, I've decided to fall back on an easy selection for myself. Tune in or listen again for an hour long mix of drones, noise, ambience, shoegaze and beats - and you'll probably not even have to listen to my fearful quivering voice.
Everyone wins.

rip nate dogg
Hip Hop lost a true legend yesterday. King of the hook and West Coast original Nate Dogg past away and we thought it only right to start this week's show with a certified classic in the form of 'Regulate' with Warren G. Nate Dogg was an inspiration in Hip Hop and we're looking forward to digging through his back catalogue this weekend! Sad times...
Anyway, local heat to move your feet came from the likes of Raksha Vs HaHaHa, Domsko, Koreless and Quahaze this week while OOFT!, Worx & Barrientos battled it out for our Local Hero Award - quite possibly the closest contest we've ever had!

the shades and bristol sound.
Time to start the trip and meet those, who created trip-hop. This time Guns Of Bristol will introduce you to mothers and fathers of downtempo and reveal some stories behind the beats. It will be dark, gloomy and hypnotising. Food for those who are led by curiosity.

sweet love for planet earth
In this week's episode, we were broadcasting eight hours later than we usually do, which, in addition to giving us eight hours more sleep, also enabled us to deliver a more upbeat and jaunty show, despite both being quite, quite ill. Topics discussed included the films of Ahn Hung Tran (Norwegian Wood), Alfred Hitchcock (Dial M for Murder, I Confess), and Ivan Reitman (Ghost Busters).
We also discussed Jenny's theory about everyone having feline familiars, upcoming gigs we are looking forward to, and the ethics behind paranormal fellatio, as well as discussing victims of bullying standing up to their tormentors, the stars of the Golden Era of Hollywood vs. today's celebrities, as well as Jenny's tremendous homemade tomato soup and pancakes we had earlier in the week (though not together, for that would be disgusting).

technical hoo ha
Yes, you guessed it, Week Two got off to a less than stellar start as we battled with a few technical issues at the start of the show. There's about a minute of silence after the first song and we almost played the Backyard Babies again instead of Flags Raised.
BUT WE SAVED THE DAY.
The second half of the show is pure gold, so don't let that put you off. Bitchen.

spoken word
Tonight Tarantism explore a world of music that utilises the power harnessed by the very ordinary medium of spoken word, from the voices of Iggy Pop to Black Francis.
The songs chosen for this show will hopefully help illustrate that some of the most emotive and endearing atmospheres can be created by pieces of music which instead of using singing put to use the most elementary form of human musical contribution - the basic tones of the speaking voice.

tiger blood!
Join us once again for another show jammed with chat, news and tunes. This weeks affair will be a trifle more subdued than the previous one and slightly more diverse, but will be no less rawkin'.
This weeks mixtape theme is "Artists In Bands Who've Made Great Music as Solo Artists" and will contain a couple of surprises, let me tell you. We'll also shoe horn in a bit of discussion on this weeks Monday Mixtape.
Also, we'll have some two word reviews of some new and upcoming releases (there's more than last time!) as well as a couple of unsigned acts to wrap your ear lugs around.
Expect that a whole lot more, including some irreverent chat about pointless rubbish.

tingling ˜˜˜˜ tongue ˜˜˜˜ meltdown
My producer and record connoisseur, Fergus, in whom I owe an enormous dosage of thanks for trekking through the severe winds, torrential rain and generally abysmal Scottish weather, compiled the playlist for this broadcast as I negligently left late, arrived late, and ultimately ended up playing nothing for this particular installment. so props to FerGo.
However, as previously mentioned it was left in perfectly capable hands so enjoi this wonderful variety of sounds which includes swathes of hazy, glacial, exotic, and shimmering, brewed up beats. From the sliced up, dark-step presence of a high-pitched wailing of a desperate lover’s search on Dark0’s, “Icebox Rmx,” conjuring up a scene involving a ghostly, and somewhat mystifying walk on a treacherously steep, foggy, marshy mountain on a crisp winter’s night where clouds lay low and the oxygen levels reach tipping point on the verge of running out, to the spatial exploration of the imaginative virtuoso of Flying Lotus’s, “RobertaFlack,” remixed by another virtuoso of the recent, contemporary wave of beatmakers, Mike Slott, as it ebbs & flows from one tinkering grazing comet to the other. The android, liquid-boogie, love hop of Onra as he searches for, “The One,” with the help of Slum Village’s T3, (r.i.p.), to the embryonic ambience of the rather ethereal and pleasantly hollow, tranquil sounds and quaking beats of Mount Kimbie’s, “Before I Move Off,” to the playfully quirky and erratic stop-start, broken melting beats of Dimlite’s, "Firevomit (O.D.N.)," a downtempo yet aurally uplifting, otherwordly composition which always helps the senses to thrive and awaken or reawaken our state of consciousness. Finally we subsequently culminate with the fantastic remix of MF Doom’s “Great Day,” remixed by the always amazing Four Tet.
( also on a minor note - - - - Listen out for the mention of the former WWF/E wrestler and former olympic gold medallist, Kurt Angle by MF Doom, or otherwise he'll ManGLE you and make you Tap out - - - - !!!! )

you got to walk home, baby
I thought I heard the creaking of an ancient ship: ropes and timbers straining to hold it all together. An awful chorus of discordant screeching and scraping, it was, before some final coming-apart. But the sound came not from beyond the windows, nor even the bed where I failed to sleep. I was sickened to discover that the sound came from me, and that I was that creaking ship.

This week, Transport is our theme. Cars, trains, planes, spaceships, tractors, hovercraft, pogo sticks - we discuss how we have and haven't travelled, and place the pleasures of boats in their correct order. There's a story about a moral dilemma on board a speeding train. Songs, variations on these themes, including Sun Ra, Elvis, The Young Knives and T-Rex.
Here is a complimentary ticket across cyberspace to our blog. Travel safely.

sweetness and light
What can I say? Possibly the most glorious moment of our little lives, we visited the Tunnocks factory in Uddingston to talk to Boyd Tunnock, the head of a mighty biscuit dynasty. I hesitate to compare this to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory because, frankly, it was better. Look at some awesome pictures of our trip here.

dj jinty live at subcity party
This week I'm joined in the studio by Alexander of the imfamous G20 crew and for the first half of the show he will be spitting over some of the freshest beats to come from the scene. I also have new music to play from Dream Mclean, Wiley, Rival & kozzie.
On the second half I'll be playing the recording of my DJ set at last years super sweaty Subcity party. The event was mad! About 200 people packed into Sleazys basement, tunes supplied by Bangers & Mashup, Biba Nights, Codeine Drums and myself.
The mix itself is about 40 minutes long and full to the brim with classic grime bangers and theres a wee bit of crowd participation in there too!

So we're taking up the gauntlet - 30 songs in an hour, without sacrificing the show's regular features or eclectic tastes. The rules: THERE ARE NO RULES, except nothing over two minutes, and they have to work as songs in the same way that anything longer would. Can it be done question mark

This week, we are dealing with the aftermath of another messy friday night in Glasgow, with our own little afterparty!
Last night was indeed Subfriction, so tonight we'll have a live b2b with our very own Floyd, and Co-Resident at Subfriction, Kid Robotik, plus some exclusive productions to play from him. We've also got some banter with the one and only Dj NoFace, so it's not one to miss.
We'll be filling you in on Subfriction, and the big tings to follow, along with upcoming interviews & guests for the show.

the discrete charms of a bourgeois radio show
On today’s Screen Shrapnel we discuss the latest cinematic appropriation of a Philip K. Dick novella. How appropriate, then, that the structure of the show follows the Philip K. Dick formula: namely, things appears mind numbingly normal until some all knowing force reveals to us that the whole show has in-fact been a sham(bles). That omnipotent force is our regular (and perhaps only) listener, Matt Lloyd. Cheers for the blue pill / facebook post. The good thing is we can now blame our poor broadcasting skills on the mysterious men in fedoras who pull life’s strings in the Adjustment Bureau.
Also shambling through their lives, teetering on the edge of despair, is the well heeled family at the heart of Joanna Hogg’s second feature, Archipelago. Helen found sympathy in this disintegrating clan of toffs; Jamie loved watching them suffer.
What are your thoughts?

identity crisis
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 11.03.11
It's been a busy week for Vile. Having discovered both My_____ and ReverbNation, he has been chasing local bands with the tenacity of a yapping, annoying dog. The yapping then turned to growling, as Vile explains to Harry that he has become the champion of the Glasgow Underground. Harry's sighs are clearly audible throughout the show.
In an attempt to capture some of the cool left over by the previous show - No Means Yes - Vile begins with a spot of Primal Scream before settling into his eclectic musical selection. Visits from Quinn, Bigfoot's, Paper Girl Scotland and a quick visit to the RSAMD rescues the airways from yet another monologue about the nature of performance and how great critics are.
Harry, as always, denies all knowledge of Vile's activities.

large and in charge...
Nothing but big tings on this week's show...
After finally recovering from Subcity's Sweet Sixteen (big thanks to everyone who came down early to catch our Hip Hop nonsense) it was time to get some big tunes together, and as always Glasgow produced. Raksha dropped a free EP on us last week which provided us with a few gems as well as the new Heartbeats compilation 'Beastiality' which is finally available for free download.
Further to that we had new heat from Profisee, Julio Bashmore and Classixx as well as the customary Tea Time Rave Off which was distinctly Garage tinged this week. GET ON IT YO

... but no folk ever take their eyes off their chop suey in time for me to make off with it. Fair enough. Shit is like 6.50.
Anyhow, Sarah invites me to the bar round the corner from my flat, and she's buying. Between her and another nutter I know (this ones Italian, which makes him even more bonkers) we get absolutely Summerslammed on pink wine. Sarah legged it off somewhere quite unexpectedly, me and Enrico watched the football. Lovely.
The next day I woke up next to a full bottle of wine. I drank that wine. At some point, my mate Tim came over with another bottle of wine. I drank that too. In the studio Earthly Matters were on it. I drank more.
This show is the result of a two day binge. It is, therefore, not for the faint hearted.
It was meant to be about the concept of friendship, but I circumnavigated all that by playing a whole hunk of St Vitus and Heresy and shit.
Don't really remember much from half an hour in.
Go forth. Be brave.

show 17: the friendly ghost hour
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 10.03.11
So, last week's show was all about the recording, the use of studios, about men sat behind desks getting that perfect sound for the artist. As visceral as that can be it's just not the same as taking that full on experience of a live show right in your face. Recorded live shows get a bit of a bad press, they can be doctored within an inch of their lives and the line between studio and live gets blurred - but that's not going to put these guys (loose use of the term) behind this desk off.
Get involved and hear our take on seminal live recordings tonight. Your room will look like a painter's radio by the time we're done.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 10.03.11
Source Tags & Mixtapes returns once again and, for better or worse, I'm single-handedly presenting the show from this episode onwards. There's also a few guest spots in the pipeline for future episodes. This week sees the start of a new feature where I'll be pulling a record from the Source Tags vault, highlighting why I think the album's significant and playing key cuts from it. This episode has a focus on some gloomy, droney music, with a couple of exceptions as always. Along with a nod to Trent Reznor's oscar win, the mood is set by show favourites Swans and Planning For Burial. While I'm on that: you need to check out the Planning For Burial/Lonesummer split.
See you next week.

If you've never listened to footwork (what, have you been under a rock or something?), then this is probably the best place on the internet to start. This article from XLR8R will give you all the need to know background much better than I could ever give you;

Shaun fae Solar came down and done a live mix of all his favourite footwork tracks which basically became an essential listening for footwork, with a little bit of J Dilla thrown in.

Whose Responsible This? // 10.03.11
It's been pretty rough on fans of the show given my obligations elsewhere but empirical evidence suggests that tomorrow a show can exist in this dimension of March, like a strange singularity of white hot hate spooging across the interzones. Just a onesie until April I think, but I need to scratch the monkey. Expect topics of choice news about your crippling social deficiencies and some science as well as tunes of a fantastical nature. You can listen in or you can seek fulfillment in that seventh muffin you've shoved in your language pipe, it makes little difference to me.

living in and out of tune
Another back-to-basics, raw, uncut episode of The Red Room, in which we, while belatedly celebrating International Women's Day (and more importantly, Pancake Day), discussed/reviewed/rated the nudity in movies by Fritz Lang (M), Chan-wook Park (Cut), Sam Raimi (Evil Dead II), Dario Argento (Suspiria), and more, as well as our experience at Glasgow's Grosvenor Cinema and their All Night Horror Madness event.
Some of the off-topic discussions we inevitably wandered in to included the proper ethical methods involved in the successful running of a band, basslines that are fun to play while performing music, the loudest gigs we had attended, the current trend of domesticating foxes for home use, and the merits of having a girlfriend who dresses awesome and rocks out on the bass guitar.

Remember when Dubstep was a sacred thing? Before the days of matinee gigs and electro synths? We do.
We're taking it from 2006 tonight with some real reggae dubstep, meaning all the tunes we play tonight are going to be dubstep with a heavy reggae influence behind it.
Listen up for a tracks from the WAR dubs series, Mungo's Hi Fi, 6blocc & other reggae steppers.

So, with Graham frolicking in an antipodean paradise with koalas and possums, it falls to Jamie to take the reins at the Screen Shrapnel mix-desk – expect links as smooth as Gordon Ramsey’s forehead. Helen Wright, film buff and 3D nut, is gracious enough to join Subcity amateur hour this week to save our audience from a very boring monologue.
On the show we discuss the Os-s-s-s-s-s-car results, cast our minds back over eleven days of cinematic fun at the Glasgow Film Festival, and we dissect the pointy shenanigans of Nic Cage’s latest subdued character study, Drive Angry 3D.
Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed.

I finally play the Nite Jewel cover that I've been saving since last year and in between times preview new music from Hard Mix, Sleep Over, Keep Shelly in Athens and Jamie XX with Gil-Scott Heron. Old favourites from Washed Out, Bibio, Wild Nothing and The National fill up this diamond of a playlist. All that glitters is not gold, besides this.

look who came crawling back....
Animal Hospital Monthly Check-up // 07.03.11
Believe it or not, our New Year's Resolution was not "miss every show this year".
We're itching to get back into the Subcity intimacy den, and after being consistently usurped by circumstance and error, we've made a pact that nothing short of armageddon is stopping us this evening.
This month, we cast our focus over some exciting talent a little bit closer to home...
Scotland has undeniably been a driving force behind the forward motion of European techno in recent years, and it's high time we paid tribute to to the people carving out their own niche in a constantly evolving scene.
Our featured artist this evening is Gary Beck, who's been a veritable whirlwind over the last couple of years. His distinctive yet varied trademark sound has been heard across the continent, ever since breakthrough single "Consumed" was snaffled up and championed by a certain Mr. Richie Hawtin.
On the label side of things, we've selected Sleaze Records, consistently one of our favourites of recent times. Also coming straight out of Glasgow - you'd be forgiven for thinking label boss Hans Bouffmyhre is some kind of Swedish-Flemish-Ukrainian male model. He's from Paisley, and it's not his real name.
So, join us, as we cement the reputation of that old adage - "third time lucky".

Tune in for another jam packed, fun filled edition of the one and only All Day Cheeky Breakfast.
The boys celebrate in style as they arrive at their 15th show (totally coincidental that it co-insides with Subcity's Sweet Sixteen), by doing more of the same...
They discuss this week's news, play a great game of defend the indefensible, find out what's on In Glasgow (kind of) and what's up with Lisa Varty.
Great tracks too from The Commitments, Yelle, Feist, Prince and some cheesy party tunes thrown in for good measure. We revel in the joy of mid-90s TV theme tunes, with yet another revelation from Callum's childhood. Don't forget to stay until the end, to splendour in the boys enjoying a good old fashioned run-rig to bring the birthday to a cathartic close.
It's another good one! Get involved with the next show: song requests, slanderous abuse and creepy stalkers all encouraged: e-mail alldaycheeky@gmail.com or find us on the old facey-book.

den haan album launch - rpz & wrong island
The Official Album Launch night for "Gods From Outer Space" by DEN HAAN.
Friday 11th March 2011 Stereo, Renfield Lane.
Entry £7/£6 11pm - 3am
Den Haan (LIVE), David Barbarossa(Hung Up!) Teamy (Wrong Island), Hushpuppy (RPZ/Death Disco).
On Friday 11th March RPZ & Wrong Island jointly present the official launch party for DEN HAAN's debut album "Gods From Outer Space" at Stereo.
DEN HAAN are a live synthesised dance act - Glasgow based duo Matthew Aldworth and Andy Gardiner. A chance meeting some years ago saw the two bond over their love for insane euro-disco and HI-NRG, and it was in that moment that the idea of Den Haan was born. Den Haan are the sounds of a seedy 1970's disco - sweat, synths, mechanised tribal rhythms and dazzling lights. Den Haan are two guys cruising the night for kicks, rock gods soaked in poppers with booming vocader-vocies and hungry for cheap lovin'. Their debut LP is a loving homage to the ground-breaking productions of Azoto, Tantra, John Carpenter, Patrick Cowley and Claudio Simonetti and a live performance on the night will provide an ear-gasmic glimpse into the musical journey that awaits the listener on the "Gods From Outer Space" debut double LP.
Supporting deejay duties on the night will be provided by two of the LP's fabulously manly cover stars - David Barbarossa (Hung Up!) and Teamy (Wrong Island) - along with RPZ and Death Disco resident Hushpuppy.
DAVID BARBAROSSA (Hung Up) - A regular contributor to club events on the cutting-edge of the musical spectrum, Mr Barbarossa has lent his considerable crate-digging credentials to events by Huntleys & Palmers, Optimo, Fun Sized, Future Sonic and the Wee Chill, playing alongside Todd Terje, Matthew Dear and Black Devil Disco Club. With a record collection running into 5-figures and a musical knowledge of equally immense stature, this pint-size DJ is one of Glasgow's biggest disco hitters.
TEAMY (Wrong Island) - Teamy is an avid collector and consumer of music whose passion for the politics of dancing was forged in the heat of a thousand sweaty Optimo Sundays. He runs his own Wrong Island Event with fellow DJ Dirty Larry, and despite its mere three and something years of parties has become, according to the taste-making Lucky Me collective, somewhat of a "glasgow Institution". The first to host Glasgow parties with LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy & Pat Mahoney, King of Town, Xaver Naudascher, George Issakidis, Ramadanman, Shit Robot, Andy Blake and Prince Language, Wrong Island is firmly established as one of the city's most ambitious and eclectic underground events.
Hushpuppy (RPZ/Death Disco) - Hushpuppy was the creative brains behind seven club-scene-defining years of the Art Schools thursday nights (with RPZ, now monthly at Stereo) and is also main room resident at Arches super-club Death Disco. In addition to years of successful club running he has added his expansive deejaying abilities to major film premiers, Burlesque parties, fashion shows, Art exhibitions and music festivals, sharing the stage over the years with Aeroplane, Zombie Nation, The Crookers, Bang Gang, AC SLater, Brodinski, Villa, Don Rimini, Erol Alkan, Rex The Dog, Siriusmo and Surkin to name but a mere few.

Live From Las Vegas // 02.03.11
Happy birthday to me... Happy birthday to me... Happy birthday to me...
It was birthday fun all round. There was cake, there were balloons, there was jelly (and I'm not talking about the stuff in my pants... because the doctor gave me pills for that and it's clearing up); birthday joy was had by all. "Who's this one from?" I asked, referring to a neatly wrapped blue box adorned with a ribbon and no indication of who it was from. When no response met my inquiry I shrugged and set about opening the package. It was so carefully wrapped and sealed that it took me the best part of four hours to open, cracking my fingernails and cutting my hands to shreds in the process. When finally the present was open a horrible smell was released from the box. I hesitated to look in. What I saw in there was some kind of sea pig, gasping for breath and dying in the open air. Its movements were slow and alien. I could hear a sound coming from its little mouth. It sounded like little more than a moan but for some strange reason I thought I could make something out of it. I leaned in closer till my face was but an inch from the creature’s dry crusty mouth. Then I heard it speak to me: "you beauty".

~ celestial journey ~~ we goin' explorin' 2nite ~
Have you ever read that Silver Surfer comic, “In Thy Name?” Well this particular episode of Earthly mATTERS is inspired by that comic as it follows the Silver Surfer wandering aimlessly throughout the SpaCe WaYS, searching for intelligible life forms in a Cosmos which can seem so desolate, barren and lonely. So we're packing the bags and goin' off on a journey throughout the universe's huge vacuum which is full of delightful spectacles of stardust, nebulas, exotic, planetary surfaces, and solar systems, whilst dodging organ pirates, corrupt utopian galactic empires, and a being that devours planets. SHEEKS!!!! It is an exploration to seek out new and unusual discoveries.
_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_ _^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_ _^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_
SO as PER usual, it's brim full of fluidic, hazy, steady streaming, psychotic beats, tribal squelch rhythms, and tracks from the most wonderful and obscure labels that deserve recognition for consistently exuding their creative juices on a regular basis and pushing the barriers all too frequently. Record labels such as Leaving Records, My Hollow Drum, Alpha Pup, Plus Research, Circulations, Thin Consolation or anyone similar; amongst others.

towards a hermeneutics of post student radio
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 04.03.11
... Gareth K Vile proudly claims that the Radio Hour is an expression of a specific post-modern approach: the emphasis on surface, the refusal to delineate between high and low art forms, such as the awkward segue from Stravinsky's Orpheus suite to the raging roar of Holy Mountain, the battle between Producer Harry's musical sensibility and Vile's vision of himself as some sort of free form jazz musician. Yet beneath all of this, there remains a fundamental narrative to the Radio Hour, and in this it is more primitive than post-modern.
Vile's intention is to link the threads between the various artistic communities on the West Coast. For this reason, the apparent juxtapositions, from Andrew Catternick's intelligent musings on visual art, via advocacy of New Territories, to Paul Puppet's cabaret invasion are not so much random or de-centred, but focused on Vile's agenda. Or, as he often admits himself, a ridiculous exploration of one man's endless egotism.

It Ain't Workin' Chief // 05.03.11
Revolution and Change provide this week's theme, partly inspired by a new book about the history of Protest Songs http://33revolutionsperminute.wordpress.com/ and partly by various protests that you might have noticed have been kicking off lately...

focus on fachwerk
Industrial techno don Mike Dehnert will releases his 6th album, "Framework", this month. INDUSTRY's second episode focuses on Dehnert's FACHWERK RECORDS label, which is responsible for delivering uncompromising, machine-driven tech perfect for warehouse parties, but equally at home in a dark and dingy basement club (on this note: can someone PLEASE bring this man to SUB CLUB!!!)
Most of FACHWERK's releases are crafted by Dehnert himself, but Sascha Rydell and Roman Lindau also feature.

show 16: secret queers - totally rockin'
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 03.03.11
This week, it's all about the producers who've made those great albums into total fucking clit-clenchers, the gods on the knobs, the fruits on the faders, the dicks behind the desks.
And speaking of dicks behind the desks, the sexiest of all the sexy co-hosts, Tony 'Secret Queer' Morrow, couldn't make it tonight cos of a hard drive problem. He's driven it hard into me plenty of times before, and it's never been an issue. Guess his computer is less forgiving than my billowing hoop. So it's a solo spectacular, much like my crusty, tear-stained 'love life'. HOT.

Good day and a very happy 16th birthday to subcity! In celebration we bring you a jam-packed 120 minutes of fun and laughter so that you can start your weekend (and the rest of your life) as you mean to go on. Be on the lookout for our World of Twitter where we bring you all the latest from the micro-bloggers, our weird and wonderful News segment and of course the always joyous BAGEL (Brian and Andy Get Everywhere Loads).
Topping it all off there's the usual great tunes, a special appearance from producer Alan Morgan and the positive thought for the day.

The Couch Club - 'Tireless on the wireless'
Posted at 09:16, 3rd March 2011
the first show!
"Industry" will present the finest in deep and dark house and techno, with a focus on dub-techno flavoured, industrial-strength techy goodness. The show will also seek to expose the work of some of the many unsigned DJ's and producers, both locally and from around the globe, who use platforms such as Soundcloud to share their talent. Expect to hear tracks from labels such as Ostgut Ton, Fachwerk Records and Zeeec, as well as your obsessive techno pal who never leaves his home "studio" unless he's nipping out to buy cables, equipment or play a gig.
For the first show, host 27B drops some Nadja Lind, Mike Dehnert, Roska ... and even Nina Simone ...
*** My favourite track of the show? This outstanding, dubbed up remix of Nina Simone's "Strange Fruit" - check out Glasgow-based producer INERTIA's Soundcloud, this track has already had over 1,000 listens and nearly 300 downloads, one to watch: http://soundcloud.com/inertia_soundcloud ***

sweet sixteen warm up...
Damn yo, where did the time go? Seems like only yesterday Subcity was broadcasting out of a kitchen in the mid-90s and now we're going in big at The Arches for the second year running. That's right, this Saturday is Subcity's sixteenth birthday and we're getting our party face on for a night of out and out bass abuse. The line up includes our pals Beat Beneath, Hahaha b2b with Raksha, Jackie Your Body, One More Tune, Data Rape and of course your fave radio fools..Synth.
We'll be kick starting the dance arch from 11.40-12.20am, playing a variety of badman riddims and getting seriously silly. You can still get your £8 advance ticket from the SRC Reception in the John Macintyre building or Arches box office, we suggest you get firmly involved.

c'est le plus beau
For this week's episode of The Red Room, we decided that, after more than a month's worth of special guests, we should go back to the basics; good old raw, unfiltered, Red Room Radio.
We discussed, as usual, movies, including the works of Jean-Luc Godard (Alphaville), Fritz Lang (M), Takashi Miike (Ichi the Killer, Audition), Chan-Wook Park (Oldboy) and more, as well as launching an attack on the abomination that is 3-D movies.
We also discussed/reviewed the recent and utterly tremendous Mondo Morricone night at the Arches, The Red Room's own A Night of Experimental Film at 13th Note, as well as a gig by theapplesofenergy at Mono Café Bar. We also veered off topic several times, discussing things such as our first forays into the world of smartphones, hanging out with Yoshimi P-We for a day (we wish), and the decline of society due to its growing obsession with technology and the internet. The very internet you are reading this on now.
Enjoy!

worst chips ever
Worst Chips Ever // The Portal To The Counterulture
“Punk was the portal to the counterculture. That’s where I belong. That’s where I live. That’s how I got there”. Ian Mackaye is right. He's always fucking right of course, inspirationally, magnetically right. So unutterably correct that I often like to think, just by way of atheistic bet hedging, “What would Mackaye do?” before I ignore Mackaye and do something totally unethical.
Ian Mackaye's bands changed my life. More specifically, the record label that Ian Mackaye founded changed my life. Even more specifically, hardcore, the subcultural ferment that gave rise to all those things, changed my life. If you are currently between the ages of 13 and 19, you are not a teenager, at least not in the sense that I ever understood the term. Instant access to all knowledge ever, free music and socially networked micro-scenes are just yummy, I know. But it's all just there, innit? The postmodern freeplay of signs and meanings, the subversion of the mainstream Mojo humping rock canon with outsider modes, that shit is basically spoon fed to you moptop kiddos these days. Have you seen Altered Zones? Fuck me.
25 year old pensioners like me remember what it was like before all that blah. Mine is the last generation to remember what life was like both before and after the internet. I wasn't a precocious kid but people thought I was. I was just lucky to have a Dad who had a seriously killer record collection. When I asked him if he had been a Mod or a Rocker during the 60's he simply looked at me, all cockeyed and funny like, and said: “Nah son. I was a freak”. Being a freak meant Beefheart and Bunuel and John Fahey and Can. When punk happened he was all over it like a recently divorced woman is Tina Turners later work. Loved it. Real kick up the arse he said.
But Dad carried the scars of the mid twentieth century idealist. Thatchero/Blairism was an abomination that tired him out and now and again he would come over all defeatist. When I told him about this band I had just read about in the NME (uh huh) called Fugazi who refused to sell their records in shops that stocked them for extortionate prices, who only played benefit shows for worthy causes in and around their hometown, who used the same amps and guitars that they had when they were 15, who released everything one hundred percent independently on their own label which they ran themselves, who barely broke even and ploughed all their money back into the collective, who booked tours all by themselves with no promotion, who refused to be put on the front cover of any magazine under corporate ownership, who refused to be interviewed in any other publication alongside adverts for tobacco and alcohol... he just stared at me, blankly. “But all bands sell out in the end.”
Except, of course some bands don’t. Ever. Because you don’t need to. It might well be now easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism, but it doesn’t fucking have to be. I had discovered hardcore. D.I.Y. It didn’t stop me from doing all sorts of ridiculous shit during my teens, questionable, to say the very least, predilections in other areas of musical interest most amusingly. But this is the stuff that still moves me the most from those years, the stuff that opened up another world. Every subsequent musical, personal and political life-changer since I discovered these records has been coloured by them. Free jazz, drone, noise, psyche, dub, avant garde composition, rave... my love of all these things and the reason I play them on my show in all their strident, underground, I'll-opt-out-thanks-very- much glory, is because hardcore led me to them.
- Daniel Baker (Worst Chips Ever)

jackie your body // datarape
Jackie Your Body // Butt Weans
McDonalds has given us a lot, the double cheese burger, the big tasty and wack hybrids like the mc gangbang, but what its really done is insure white girls aren’t lacking in their booty game. These high fat products have irreversibly changed the Caucasian women’s form - everybody can get back and everyone loves booty, especially Sophie Reilly who presents Jackie Your Body.
When she was 16 she unashamedly loved R&B, didn’t wear Ugg boots, or baggy pajamas outside her house, didn’t shop at Holister, let her palls get changed round her place because their mothers wouldn’t let them wear Interlock Mini Skirts - didn’t judge. A beacon of testicle-shattering awesomeness.
What makes girls like this such teenage wankfest epiphanies isn’t all their swag, but that they might just surprise you with the Aidan Moffat album Songs About Love, because girls like that...they get it! If your a 16 year-old boy and want to find a girl like this: stop masturbating, get a fake ID and start going to clubs and bring some big game, because girls like this are awesome. They might even put Can on a mixtape too.
Datarape // Chez Nous
Older dudes could get bitter, having to endure the barrage of friend requests from school friends who have squirted weans out, having to block them all, then looking at their stupid bodies reject some of their head hair, but you know...some of these guys didn’t turn into their parents immediately after high school, they don’t have to go on summer holidays with the girl they started dating in school, they have more money than you and hey life is still awesome at 24...amiright?
Back when they were young, French house was fucking huge. In the late 90s, the golden Roulé album covers guaranteed some slick soulful house music that although sounded more sophisticated than the Dance Mania records it took something from, it didn’t loose any of its dance floor muscularity. Daft Punk made next level pop music and next level videos, the Daft Punk Essential Selection ‘99 still sounds pretty fresh, taking in more rhythms than their Chicago House heavy Essential Mix ‘97. They lead the way, but their were plenty of others out in France creating some machine funk house music topping charts while HMV was still open.

vp learning & development
SRC Elections 2011 // 01.03.11
VP Learning & Development is a role that carries a range of positions; bridging both the sobriety of following the University’s academic policy as well as the less sober mess of Freshers Week. The in coming VP will be thrust into the dizzying hectic world of organising the ‘best week of your life’, before midway through September being dragged back to their desk for a year of reading policies and sitting on committees.
Issues including fees, advisers of studies, class reps, exam timetables and a range of other bits and pieces that play a part of Glasgow student life are all under the remit of VP Learning & Development, so there should be lots to get our teeth stuck into.
Running for the position this year is Razvan Balaban, Cormac Beagan, James Harrison, Kenneth Law, Neal Robb and Marc Smith. The episode also features insights from current VP Learning & Development Tuula Erikkson.

Live From Las Vegas // 23.02.11
Here's an idea for a movie: Scarlette Johansen is this plumber and she's fixing a leaky pipe when suddenly the pipe turns into a dragon and she flies on it's back to a fantasy world that's a cross between Narnia and Ashton lane, there she meets a king who's played by Patrick Stewart but the twist is everyone is played by Patrick Stewart, even the dragon. The dragon seduces her at one point to get pumbing information, it's like inception or something. And then she wakes up and thinks it was just a dream but then she finds out she had a dragon VD. That's the twist. Morgan Freeman can play god.

Live From Las Vegas // 02.02.11
It was a curious case indeed. It happened in February while the winter winds still shocked my cock in his hutch at night. The victim was found with in the early hours of the morning and was thought to have been killed the night before. The unusual thing about this case was where the gentleman's head should be; in its place was a house. "But who could have dropped the house on his head?" I asked Homes. Homes replied, "That is elementary my dear Watson. This was a new walking house ala http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvxIB83Y0PA." He continued, "It must have chased him down and sat on his face". I quickly responded by saying "Sat on his face? Are you suggesting a sexual connection?” To which Homes gently nodded his head and smiled for it was the question he had been waiting to hear for years. We kissed then made furious love to one another in our...HOME.

The past few weeks have been very productive in the grime scene with new mixtapes, singles and free downloads coming out left right and centre. On this weeks show I'll be playing through as many of the most recent tracks as I have time to.
Iv got brand new material to play from MC's like Rival, Wiley, Footsie, Rinse, Trim, Jammer and Japanese MC Dekishi! Aswell as new beats from producers such as Scratcha DVA, Rude Kid, Rustie & Hudson Mohawke.
I also plan on playing a selection of tracks from The Street's recent collaboratory grime mixtape 'Cyberspace & Reds', the new Butterz Zip and from the 'Burrrtish Edition' of Gucci Mane's Free Gucci II which features tracks with Wiley, Dream Mclean, Tinchy Stryder and remixes from Toddla T, The Blessings & Swerve.

Most of the music featured in this episode was recorded at the Soul Cellar which is in the basement of The Liquid Ship in Great Western Road and meets on the first Saturday of the month. It's run by Stephen Scanlon and Trevor Bond who play quite a bit of up tempo soul and funk which distinguishes them from other soul clubs in Glasgow. I will be playing selections from their sets on Saturday March 19th on the Funky Cuts when i hope to have them in as guests. As a teaser for that show the last two tunes on this programme feature two of Stephen's soul selection.
The rest of the music in this show is taken from my first set.

it's rarely sunny in glasgow
The very first ever ever ever Daily Dischord radio show promises to be a killer show packed full of killer tunes and killer chat (hopefully!)
This week, we'll bring you some news about what's going down in the world of music (festivals mainly), some two word reviews of new and upcoming releases, and a bit of blether about Apple's brand new, money stealing "HD Music" service. It will, no doubt, feel the wrath of Thor.
Taking the theme of this weeks Monday Mixtape and running with it, we're going to chuck out a couple of tracks with exclamation marks in the title. Feel the rock.
Also, because it's Subcity radio's sixteenth birthday, we'll be playing a couple of tunes that we loved when we were sixteen.

After the barren monologues of the last shows, you've been gifted with two guests, in the shape of Ross Mathers - Election Candidate for Media and Communications - and Neal Robb - Election Candidate for Learning and Development.
Prepare for a light hearted grilling of their policies with some top notch folk rock to boot. Horrific, beautiful, squelchy, itchy, awkward, sexy are just some of the emotions stirred up during the broadcast.
Discussions include Goldfish, Gaddafi, Mumsnet, Marvin Gaye, Smear Campaigns, Jeremy Hunt - Cultural Secretary, Dr Deidre, Subcity, Stockings, GUM magazine - new issue released today! and buskers. Not to be missed.
Elections are on Tuesday the 29th and Wednesday the 30th. Kisses.

guest - markus suckut (stroboscopic / figure spc)
Up and coming German producer MARKUS SUCKUT delivers this weeks guest mix.
http://soundcloud.com/markussuckut
Markus’ own musical history began in 1999, at the brink of the new millennium an interest in electronic music was awakened in the young, Germany-based Markus. At the time it was less about committing to one musical direction, than about the excitement of DJing and testing sonic limits. Carried along by the excitement of these inital impressions Markus began to teach himself to mix and within a few short years his first productions followed.
It’s hard to categorise someone who himself detests thinking about music in narrow-minded categories and who takes influence from many different styles of music. His own productions are best described plainly and simply with the word techno, techno which often and willingly becomes dub. His sets are wide reaching, and even if they have a common basis it’s difficult to describe what exactly they have in common. Perhaps it is soul, a bit of dreaminess and a tendency towards melancholy that best characterise Markus and his music.
Good things take time. A good story can’t be told in passing; accordingly Markus Suckut can be seen as one of the most vocal opponents of short sets, and of a club culture where the next DJ jostles impatiently in the booth waiting impatiently for the start of their own set. To play in his own style, leading the crowd and casting a spell over it, delighting listeners with records selections that go beyond the remit of any kind of DJ charts, this is his world. And in the company of someone who loves to listen to elaborate stories, who detects subtlety while simultaneously appreciating current trends, the listener is in very good hands with both his productions and his sets.

benny boom // charmicarmicat
Benny Boom // Who Da Best?
Now running his own collective of DJs and artists, including Point to C, Ruckus Roboticus and S-Type, Benny Boom’s involvement with Subcity goes way back to his teens, now a married, mortgaged adult, he plays in South Africa (and other places where he needs factor 50) and facilitates a lot of winching and grinding for soo many teens on a Thursday night at the Art School.
Since becoming a resident at Subcity’s Hetherington Club Parties back in 2007-08, Ben has been a staple at our parties, returning this year for Who Da Best? This mix is a recording of his set from that night.
Charmicarmicat // Confessions of a Teenage Gabber Fiend
This is a mix of some very filthy club music. Coming out of the Dutch hard house scene, the high tempo, distorted bass drums of Gabber is just the kind of intense music that would scare the dicks off any fey indie brat trying to make it with the goths. This selection is bought to you by Vickie McDonald who “fucking loved gabber at 16!", now playing guitar in Divorce (with releases on Optimo Music, Merok, Milk and Winning Sperm Party) and DJing as part of Wavy Graves, "nowts changed since then....". Her show Charmicarmicat is where to go for sludged out, atonal dissonance and harrowing vociferation.

The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 25.02.11
Do you like the Oscars? Do you like montage films from 80's movies? Do you like cheeky chat? Do you like it when one of the presenters negligently forgets the parameters that were set when selecting songs?
You do?
Then look no further than this week's serving of the All Day Cheeky Breakfast!
The boys in the studio discuss current affairs local and national, discuss their ignorant tips for the Oscars, and they even award a few Oscars themselves.
Callum reveals what's on. Kev 'The Shitstorm' Carr heads another defend the indefensible, and Michael reveals two movie related hidden gems, much to Kevin's predicable lack of enthusiasm.
What's up with Varty? What did Diana do next? How much do you want to shadowbox to these choons?

the national radio of glasgow
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 25.02.11
Although Vile claimed that he no longer needed a producer following Harry's absence during the live set by RM Hubbert last week, Parlane forcibly reclaims his space in the far corner, ensuring that there are less moments of long silence and the occasional appropriate link between songs.
The show is getting packed now that the performance season is hotting up: New Territories is arriving, and Jack Webb talks about his entry. A plethora of gigs showcasing loads of bands caused Vile to get hot under the collar about the Glasgow scene, and to fill in a gap in his memory, he waxes lyrical about the Glasgow scene.

sonically sound...
The biggest show to date? Quite possibly. We had PMcQ roll through with a Tea Time Rave Off to make 2 Many DJ's shit themselves. Packing in twenty songs in ten minutes and mixed on four decks it included everything from bouncy house to slamming electro as well as some well overlooked 90's nonsense from INXS. You can download the mix for free from PMcQ's Soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/pmcq
Further to that we had local heat from Megamegaman, Raksha & Monopunk as well as worldwide tunage from Dillon Francis, Seiji and Skepta. ESQ, Bodymilk & Koreless also battled it out for our Local Hero award with three inexplicably incredible tunes. Get a-listening and remember to catch us at Subcity's Sixteenth birthday on March 5th.

noel edmonds vs orbital vs the orb(s) in the mix
WORST CHIPS EVER PRESENTS THE FIRST ANNUAL NOEL EDMONDS HEAVY COSMIC ORDERING JAM SESSION.
(This shit is gonna be MASSIVE in the untapped celestial lifestream)
Noel Edmonds believes that the souls of his dead parents follow him everywhere in the form of two orbs, he has revealed.
The TV presenter claims they are a constant presence by his side and often sit on his shoulders as bouncing balls of light.
The 59-year-old is a follower of the New Age theory of Cosmic Ordering, which involves writing a wish-list and asking the planets to carry it out.
TV presenter Noel Edmonds revealed in a television interview that his deceased parents are 'little bundles of energy about the size of melons' that follow him
Edmonds said: 'Orbs are little bundles of positive energy and they
think they can move between 500 and 1,000 miles per hour.
'They look like little round planets but they come in all shapes and sizes. Conventional photography can't pick them up but digital cameras can.
'My belief is that these are something to do with some form of positive energy I like to think they are my parents.
'I've got loads of photographs of me at home with two orbs that visit me.
'The two that I have are about the size of melons. One sits on my arm and the other is usually in the back of the shot, sitting just over my right shoulder.'
Edmonds's girlfriend Liz Davies, 37, introduced him to Cosmic Ordering after they met two years ago when she worked as a make-up artist on his Channel 4 series Deal or No Deal.
Edmonds's 18-year marriage to second wife Helen Soby - mother of his four daughters - had ended three years earlier.
He claimed he was not an ' evangelist' for his orb theory but admitted: 'I don't pour scorn on any idea either. It's the same with the Cosmic Ordering.
'I've got a few nice little orders in at the moment. I've got one in for a friend who would like to meet the man of her dreams. And another for a couple who had some difficult financial issues recently. I'm confident they will come true.'

build + destroy // its a trap!
Build + Destroy // Sony Walkmen
Build and Destroy is a show run by a couple of librarians - well Andrew is a IT Tech at the GSA Library, a different kind of nerd I guess. Since 2004 these squares have been curating a show of electronic jams with recent guests like Point to C and Khee Siong Tian, or some Suburban Base old skool rave show. This mix is what Andrew was bumping on his Sony Walkman back when he was 16.
Its a Trap! // Can't Stop Jerkin'
Presumably spent his teenage years being an Internet tough guy on 4Chan fapping over the latest time stamped tits, ripping new fags cause they can’t triforce and hazzing cheezeburgers. But now he has a Tumblr and makes some sick weekly mixtapes of super-lo-fi digi-bass crunk...y'know before "crunk" became synonymous with American frat dudes bro-ing out to 3OH!3
Check these doubles bitchez!

show 15: "i'm sure whenever i did it before..."
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 24.02.11
"The last refuge of unimaginative b-sides" or "Absolute gold and how the track should've sounded in the first place". Two phrases you often hear relating to remixes...
We've chosen tracks that are guaranteed to fall within the remit of the second, so listen in and catch remixes that actually deserve an airing as tunes unto themselves. Lurching from static soaked dub-outs through to metal-infused gabba, we'll be making you all as wet as an otter with this offering.

ennio morricone
In a special three hour episode, we pay tribute to the Maestro himself; the Italian octogenarian and composer of over 500 scores including everything from brutal Westerns to tender love stories; Ennio Morricone.
Joining us live in studio to discuss the Maestro as well as his Mondo Morricone night at the Arches (Sat 26th Feb) in celebration and tribute of the composer was Duglas T Stewart of the BMX Bandits. We all discussed times we saw Morricone live, our all-time favourite Morricone scores (incidentally, they all turned out to be the same one), as well as our favourite Morricone-influenced bands.
Molto Mondo Morricone!

business as usual
Due to holiday/uni/job trouble (too many jobs to be taken at the same time) we have skipped a couple of episodes (with our hearts bleeding and heads aching of course). But the worst is over (including the most recent episode) and we're back with you and planning on making up for the lack of musical input. So in the next few episodes (from 28th of February) you can expect us to deliver some more "city-tunes". We shall start with wonderful soundscapes of Poznań in order to move back to the real gem of the Baltic seaside - Szczecin. Well, have fun and stay with us on every Monday night between 9PM and 10PM.

jackie, it's a trap!
This episode of Jackie your Body will be featuring a mixtape from It's a Trap! The mix features mainly white label Bounce from artists Big Freedia and DJ Jubilee. Bounce music is a pretty frenetic style of hip hop music hailing from New Orelans which is said to have originated as early as the late 1980s. It mainly features "Call and Response" style chant which usually is shouted over the 'triggerman' beat which is fairly typical to Bounce music. Like Juke, Miami bass, Baltimore and booty music, bounce is a highly regional form of urban dance music. Nevertheless, bounce has influenced a variety of other rap subgenres and even emerged in the mainstream with artists such as Lil Jon and so on. Shaun fae Solar will be playing some Jackin House and Hip House from the late 80's from artists such as Todd Terry and Jungle Brothers. Josh Wavy Graves will also be playing out a sweet DJ Slugo mini-mix.

19 - dub inna modern style
When someone mentions the word dub, our minds always seem to focus on guys like King Tubby & Lee "Scratch" Perry, working away making dub versions in studio's like the Black Ark in the late 60's/early 70's. People tend to forget that theres a fresh dub coming out on a weekly basis, and not just from Jamaica, but all over the world.
So this week we are focusing on dub from the mid 90's onwards, with appearances from artists like Ratman, Disrupt, Dub Gecko, Rob Smith, Henry & Louis and many many more.
Think spaced out.
Irie.

jd twitch
On the north coast of Colombia, amongst the African and Latin rhythms of the Caribbean is Cartanga, home to Disco Fuentes, the first and longest running record label in Colombia. Since 1934, the label has been popularising the distribution of cumbia, but this is only a small part of cumbia’s story and they’re not the only ones to have championed its sound.
JD Twitch’s obsession with the percussive music of Colombia started with the “really bad Latin records” his parents brought back with them from Argentina - “I listened to them as a child, there was something about their rhythms that attracted me”. After hearing a tape a friend sent him from a club in Argentina, where 2000 kids were dancing to old and new types of cumbia, Twitch was hooked on the sound and started digging. Picking up records in Brazil, searching discogs, going beyond the remastered compilations of Soundway Records.
“Cumbia was considered trash by the intelligentsia and the hipsters of the time...a lot of [cumbia] sounds like bad wedding music, but a lot of it is very strange, hypnotic, psychedelic, danceable music”. Now this raw danceable folk music has undergone the Twitch rework treatment on his new EP: Cumbia. His production keeps some of the bold instrumentation of the original rarities, but alters their structure and reimagines them a little faster and lower.
The selection of records on this episode are cumbia both old and new, from the sixties to mid seventies boom to the hybrid clashes like cumbia-step (available from Argentine label ZZK or Cabeza!), plus an exclusive track from a release due later in the year from Twitch.

Special guest this week in the studio, Soma rising star HARVEY MCKAY.
Since releasing his debut album on Soma a couple of years back, Harvey's profile has sky rocketed with gigs flowing in at home and abroad with his more recent releases being backed by some of the bigget names in the techno world. Harvey's tracks bring a power and groove that only he can deleiver. Staying true to his passion of tough, driving techno, his versatility as a dj allows him to bring out his deeper side, often delving into deep & tech house.
A good friend of ours here on the Farm we look forward to having him on for a chat and see what the future holds for the (not so young) Harvey ;)

new radiohead tracks
In their own unique style Radiohead have decided to release their album one day ahead of schedule, so we will be playing at least one song from The King of Limbs.
It's also the return of News or Blues- with the scores tied at 1-1 will Andy or Louise take the lead?
We'll have some great music from The Rapture & James Blake and Andy talks about what its like to give up facebook for a week! Give it a try!

It Ain't Workin' Chief // 19.02.11
well not just the new Radiohead album, but as it's dropped a day early I will be using it as a jumping off point to explore some of the band's influences and illicit some opinions from the IAWC listeners. It Ain't All About Trees, Chief. 4pm, Saturday.

the cheeky wrath (michael spits the dummy out)
The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 18.02.11
Join the lads for another delicious serving of the All Day Cheeky Breakfast
This weeks show provides some poignant moments as we pay tribute to Independence Day in Gambia. A day close to all of our hearts. We also find out what's up with Lisa Varty, what's on in and around Glasgow and we witness the childlike rage of Mr Michael Egan after a tense tie-breaker in the games section.
Listen in as we take one step closer to the fortune promised to us by a mysterious email from Hong Kong and marvel at Callum's understanding of the human condition as he helps another youngster with an embarassing problem. We also find out that Callum has an embarassing problem himself - his past. So join Kevin and Michael in their discussion of Callum's school life as "Safety Man".
Tunes this week include Billy Joel, Gorrilaz and Sly and the Family stone.
It's a good'un
Over and Out, Bacon Fries!

≈≈ vaporized ´´) squat (´´ thrusts ≈≈
This is the first broadcasted show in two, long, arduous weeks since being stuck in the void. One of the reasons involved me seeing, jumping, dancing and moshing like a crazed lunatic with a motorcycle helmet on, whilst listening to the sounds of the mighty Japanther last week.
~~~~~~∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆~~~~~~ ~~~~~~∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆~~~~~~
There is no particular theme this week, instead it sees me going back to my roots, or the reason why I’m doing this radio show in the first place, by playing a collection of some of my favorite and most exciting tracks that are on regular rotation in beyond my ear drums and into my neurotic mind from throughout the past year or so from some of the finest beatmakers and well rounded contemporary musicians.
~~~~~~∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆~~~~~~ ~~~~~~∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆~~~~~~
So in the word of the The Great One, The Rock, expect to hear some of the most electrifying, glooped up, bleepy beats, the world has to offer. Loosen up, expand your muscles and mind, relax, CHILLAX, and absorb some fine compositions from Dimlite, MONO/POLY, Actress, Ruckazoid, De De Mouse, Nosaj Thing, Becoming Real and Lunice.
~~~~~~∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆~~~~~~ ~~~~~~∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆~~~~~~
Oh and by the way, speaking of The Rock. Thurrrrs a bucket full of samples from the WWF(E)’s Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock. It involves some interesting observations on a miscellaneous variety of Thanksgiving pies, The Undertaker’s abhorrent tattoos, and a workout regime which requires the emphatic use of squats, squats, SQUATS. So if you don’t listen expect either one of them to layeth the smacketh down on your candy bottom.
~~~~~~∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆~~~~~~ ~~~~~~∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆~~~~~~

rm hubbert, cry parrot, art and tron
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 18.02.11
As the playlist is slowly entered into the schedule, Producer Harry Parlane has made good his escape to Stirling: it is rumoured that the possibility of Danish Dance at the Macrobert was more attractive than spending two hours in the studio with sweaty Vile.
Fortunately, many of Glasgow's artists are less aware of the Vile danger, and Andy Arnold, the team from A Scheme and RM Hubbert have all agreed to join the roving critic.
The usual arrogance of Vile's presentation style is softened by the charming presence of Fielding from Cry Parrot, who makes a few more of those all important Glasgow connections, including the inspiration for RM Hubbert's "play for food" approach. When Hubbert arrives with his guitar, Vile almost has to be dragged from the studio with delight, as the three songs he then plays are live on the spot.

you sold me queer giraffes
"Reed was famous for his excessive drinking, which fitted in with the "social" attitude of many rugby teams in the 1960s and 1970s, and there are numerous anecdotes such as Reed and 36 friends drinking in an evening, 60 gallons of beer, 32 bottles of Scotch, 17 bottles of gin, four crates of wine, and one bottle of Babycham. He subsequently revised the story, claiming he drank 106 pints of beer on a two-day binge before marrying Josephine; "The event that was reported actually took place during an arm-wrestling competition in Guernsey about 15 years ago, it was highly exaggerated." Steve McQueen told the story that in 1973 he flew to the UK to discuss a film project with Reed and suggested the pair go to a nightclub in London. They ended up on a marathon pub crawl during which Reed vomited on McQueen. Reed's face had been scarred 10 years previously during a 1963 bar fight after which he received 63 stitches and was in danger of having his film career terminated in his 20s.
Reed was often irritated that his appearances on TV chat shows concentrated on his drinking feats rather than his latest film. David Letterman cut to a commercial when it appeared Reed might get violent after being asked too many questions about his drinking. In September 1975, in front of a speechless Johnny Carson, Reed famously had a glass of whiskey poured over his head on-camera by an enraged Shelley Winters on The Tonight Show (Winters had been upset by Reed's seemingly derogatory comments toward women). He was held partly responsible for the demise of BBC1's Sin on Saturday after some typically forthright comments on the subject of lust, the sin featured on the first programme. The show had many other problems and a fellow guest revealed that Reed recognised this when he arrived and virtually had to be dragged in front of the cameras. Near the end of his life, he was brought onto some TV shows specifically for his drinking; for example The Word put bottles of liquor in his dressing room so he could be secretly filmed getting drunk. He was forced to leave the set of the Channel 4 television discussion programme After Dark after arriving drunk and attempting to kiss feminist writer Kate Millett, uttering the memorable phrase, "Give us a kiss, big tits." He was seemingly very drunk on the Michael Aspel chat show, to many highly entertaining, to others a waste of a great acting talent. However, author Cliff Goodwin, in his biography of Reed titled Evil Spirits, offers the theory that Reed was not always as drunk on chat shows as he appeared to be, but rather was acting the part of an uncontrollably sodden former star to liven things up, at the producers' behests.
In December 1987, Reed became seriously ill with kidney problems as a result of his alcoholism and had to abstain from drinking for a year.
In later years, Reed could often be seen quietly drinking with his wife, Josephine Burge, at the bar of the White Horse Hotel in the High Street in Dorking, Surrey, not far from his home in Oakwoodhill. When working in London, he was often found at The Duke of Hamilton pub in Hampstead, an area and pub he often frequented earlier in his career with Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton."
The above has nothing whatsoever to do with tonight's show, but why waste time reading some cack spurts from my brainhole when you could be filling it with trivia like THAT???
No theme tonight, I'll probably just play back to back Limp Bizkit.

the grimey years ft. philly bluntz & skola
This week myself, Philly Bluntz & Skola will be giving you a lesson in Scottish Grime.
I'll be on the decks spinning records from the early begginings while Philly Bluntz & Skola spray their bars on the mic. Without giving too much away I'll be starting the mix off with some early Slew Dem & Ruff Sqwad instrumentals, throwing in some UKG sensations and then rolling through into some classics from the South Side, Dice and Pirate Sessions labels.
Skola & Philly also have a hard selection of Glasgow Grime tracks ranging from early 2007 to present day Gutter Riddim exclusives that we'll be getting through at the start of the show.
This ones for the memories...

ICE-BREAKER: WORK WITH SOMEONE ELSE TO WRITE A DAMN FINE TUNE
Everyone hates ice-breakers eh? Awful things designed to not break down barriers but rather torture the souls of those nihilists that walk amongst us. Luckily, the acts we'll be picking tonight aren't as overtly sociopathic as we are and have spouted forth some bloody excellent music for us to spin so tune in or listen again as we rattle through our choices of the best collaborations out there. No doubt there'll be some KoRn ft. Vanilla Ice action going down.

playground tactics
In this episode we were joined by no less than three members of notorious Glasgow post-folksters The Seventeenth Century; Nicholas Grant, Mark Farmer, and Ryan Burns. Together, we discussed a performance (viewed earlier that night) by experimental acoustic guitarist Cheer at Mono Café Bar, our varied collections of literature and VHS tapes (including such classics as On the Road and The Great Mouse Detective), and what we all got up to on Valentine's Day.
We also haphazardly engaged the band in a spontaenous and somewhat informative interview, discovering such things as their composition process, their collective influences, and just what kind of mood their debut EP inspires in its listeners. Both Nicholas and Mark contributed several tracks to the show, and we look forward to having them back.

valentine's day special
By far the most professionally conducted of all the shows, Adam decides to give out his mobile number to see if anyone is out there listening. Coincidentally, it's also Valentines Day. On top of that, he talks to himself about the up adn comign SRC elections and the National Folk Rock Awards. Some good music and standard patter.

crown of love
Ok, its decided. This Wednesday we're going to explore one of the most popular song subjects, thats right - l.o.v.e. Now before you haters start whining about it, I refuse to go down a mushy path. Im talking songs that make you're heart pang whether its about the good stuff when you are as high as a kite, or when it goes sour and you wish that you were a 1000 miles away from pain. It seems no matter what genre or era it's always there, from Bob Marley to LCD Soundsystem tune in to hear a Kaleidoscopic love mix and whether we'll still have rose tinted glasses on by the end of it.

episode 4: love hurts
The Hammy & Jenko Show // 15.02.11
This week we talk much more pish than usual - whether that's to the detriment to the already questionable worth of this show is something we'll leave you to judge.
Right off the back of Valentines Day, we generally talk about relationships and all that, but as you can expect, the conversation leads to talk of toilet pans, pricks working for T-Mobile and the male strippers who come into the studio.

18 - introducing... greensleeves
This week we take an hour to give you a full introduction to one of the most influential record labels in reggae and dancehall music, Greensleeves.
Over the years Greensleeves releases have paved the way for reggae and dancehall's development into the music we hear today, having released tracks like Under Me Sleng Teng in '85 all the way up to the present day with huge signings such as Gappy Ranks & Alborosie.
If you don't know alot about reggae or Greensleeves as a label, you will after this show.

oxfam gold
Well I needed a cheesy-old-vinyl fix so got myself to Oxfam early this morning. What did I find? Well, cheesy 90s house, r&b, hip-hop and some scratchy funk/soul which i'll leave til another time. Some admitted shockers in this set but the rule was Oxfam Music only. No bad for an hour / £17 investment. And beware! Some of these will return in clubs near you soon(ish).
Support your local 2nd hand charity shop, not just because it'll make you feel morally mighty (fuck dat) but because, if you look hard enough, THERE'S GOLD IN THEM THAR CRATES.

raresh
Following his move to Bucharest, in 2003, Raresh faced the Romanian capital's night life. His talent as a DJ shone through and successfully distinguished him from the other young Romanian DJs operating at the time and he was invited to play at the Black Sea beach parties in the summer of 2004. Shortly afterwards Raresh joined the Sunrise Booking Agency and in 2005 he had the opportunity to play warm-up for the artists he admired. Securing a full summer residency for all the Sunrise events at the Black Sea Coast, he shared the stage with the likes of Richie Hawtin, Magda, Steve Bug, Josh Wink, Pascal FEOS, Troy Pierce, Marc Houle, Pier Bucci and Tobi Neumann. The developement of his work continued with the opening of the Luciano & Thomas Melchior event in Bucharest. Next step was the invitation to mix in East Club in Frankfurt on Christmas Day of 2005, where Raresh played together with Toni Rios, Chris Wood and Frank Lorber.
Back home, the young DJ became part of one of the most important moments in the Romanian clubbing scene, with The Sound Of The Sixth Season World Tour 2006, where he played back to back with Chris Tietjen the warm-up for german techno legend Sven Väth. By March 2006 Raresh was warming up for Ricardo Villalobos, who claimed to be impressed by his style of mixing, leading to them playing back to back at the after-party that followed the event in Bucharest.
Raresh has developed a unique and special style, combining minimal, tech-house with house in a warm and powerful way. One of Raresh's strong beliefs is that a DJ is not a complete artist until he becomes a producer, and that there is always something more to learn and practice in music. Together with his friends Rhadoo and Pedro he founded in 2007 the romanian electronic music label called [a:rpia:r]. Their debut vinyl contains also Raresh first production called "Dry Tool".

valentine's day love from flatrate
Dear listener. When we first took to the airwaves, in the heady days of 2008ish, we knew that together we could create the most beautiful arts and culture digest Glasgow had ever heard. As the years have passed, the show has changed, but our devotion to bringing you the most revealing interviews, startling reports, and moving art, has grown ever stronger. Listener, we sometimes don't say it enough... thank you for listening to Initial Itch Radio on Subcity.org
This week Andy Arnold, founder of the Arches and artistic director of the Tron Theatre, is in the studio to talk about his own play Staircase, as well as some of the other work coming up at the Tron, The Belief Project included.
We'll also hear from Jo Shaw, one of the many voices making themselves heard at the new Free Hetherington.
And finally, we hear from Marianne Maxwell of the National Theatre of Scotland, and Sarah Munro, Rosemary James and Sam Harrison of the Tramway, who are all looking to the future after a win at the GaGa Awards.

The dead cold grips the town in utter silence...the cluster of expensive hotels, bars, cinemas, shops round the Memorial Church, a sparkling nucleus of light, like a sham diamond, in the shabby twilight of the town...But the city, which glowed so brightly and invitingly in the night sky above the plains, is cold and cruel and dead.

blue valentine
This week: Valentine's Day - load o' pish, right? Tacky, cynical, overpriced, existing only to cause tension between couples and make singles feel sorry for themselves. But enough about us (http://instantrimshot.com). Since you'd expect nothing more cheerful from an LOTD Valentine show, this week we're going to chart the demise of a conceptual relationship song by ever-more-depressing song, from the initial ask-me-out euphoria of The Marvelettes through the bleaker-than-bleak bathroom-based break-up of Arab Strap and eventually the wearily acceptant 'here's looking at you, kid' of Beirut. Also, since Pixies have the #1 Record for the week, there'll probably be whores somewhere in there too. Yup. Whole lotta whores.

subfriction, taz buckfaster interview an' ting!
Wha' gwan?
Tonight we'll be focusing the show around last nights Subfriction, which was wild last night, and thanks to everyone came down.
Amongst the beats and bass that we're all over at the moment, there will be chat from the dj's from last night, including an interview with headliner of Subfriction, Taz Buckfaster, chatting about the night, his debut release on numbers, Edinburgh and what the future holds!
And as always, expect plenty of banter from us, Amanda Mitchell & Rosa Higgin!

together forever!!
The sun has got its hat on it seems and the She Said team are coming out to play once more. Re-united after 2 weeks of temporary separation, you will certainly feel the love in the air as Derek and Allan pleasure each other and you with some of the finest sordid noisiness on the internet.
Be there.....

Pop Goes The Revolution // 11.02.11
It's been a while since we just sat down and played some music. So that's what we did this week. The Song Battle, Nostalgia and Saving Grace all return, and as does a selection of tunes ranging from Birmingham to Leeds to Nottingham to the rest of the UK.
We also select a few tunes from some great small record labels like Lost At Sea (Liverpool), Brave Or Invincible Records (Birmingham) and Dead Young Records (Leeds) to play.
So sit back and enjoy the good old days where we just sat and played music at you.

After a seriously long time off The Beat Route is back. Without Stroudy, who is in Wales, the poor bastard. Since I've been left on my own I've changed the slot to a more manageable fortnightly slot. It's also during the day to make sure that I stay sober. This fortnights show contains the finest in funky breaks and hip-hop, all scratched and mixed by the fastest set of hands this side of Baltimore. Get yo face down and yo ass up...

could only be one host for this romantic day...
Here at Bless Riddims, ideas were running through the mind on how to celebrate that romantic of days, the 14th February, Valentines Day. Then the light bulb clicked, only the great Curtis could possibly get across how we all feel about Valetines! So against medical advice, and to tuttings from his pastor, Curtis will be playing host to Jungle, Grime and Bassline to get the message across...WE DON'T LIKE VALENTINE'S DAY!!! Alla da shottas keep it locked!

21: cheesy owes luke an iphone
It has came to light recently that Disco Disco's very own Cheesy has got himself into a slight pickle. It appears that Cheesy has promised friend of Disco Disco Luke Winter (VP Comms) a refurbished iPhone in return for his hard earned cash. That cash was handed over in May 2010 (9 months ago) yet the phone has not appeared. Word has it that it's been sitting in Cheesy's house all along. We'll be quizzing Cheesy over this situation in an attempt to get some more publicity for Luke's cause. Help Luke out by taking part in his Facebook sweepstake: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=150685244989855
In other news, Disco Disco will be having another one of their legendary nights out to Sound at Club 520 on Friday 18th February, which you should come to.

We also have great music from David Bowie, Sam and Dave, Hootie and the Blowfish, Hidden Gems by Frank Zappa, Aloe Blacc and, of course, a great track by the one and only Prince.

brain bonking japanese psyche grope.
Come with me, my little chipolatas, on a journey to the other side of the world. That's right children, we are all off to JAPAN!!! Wherein we are all going to drop a shit ton of bonkers street drugs and freak out. Not like 'dem plastic hippy bores at Woodstock though. No siree. In Japan, see, they are SERIOUS about psychedelia.
So serious, in fact, that most Japanese musicians can get high off just looking at their guitars (probably).
This one is a proper indulgence on my part (as if sitting in a nutsack-clinging-to-inner-thigh sweatbox playing weird shit for an hour every Friday morning isnt egotistical enough). An hours worth of uninterrupted far eastern brain buggering cherry picked from my own personal stash. I've drawn together noise, sound art, improv and traditional selections in amongst all that psyche too, so y'all dont lose the plot and try and crawl up your own noses or summat.
Les Rallizes Denudes. Merzbow. Flower Travellin' Band. Up Tight. Shizuka. Speed Glue and Shinki. And Hijokaidan covering Hawkwind. Uh huh.

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 10.02.11
"Mal". A word in French which translated to our mother tongue can be intepreted as "evil", and there's a whole pile of Mal bouncing round our studio tonight.Tim "Poppa Pump" Malseed joins The Awkward Sons for a special show focussed entirely on the art of murder. All tracks tonight come stained from the bloody hands of someone and for once it's not just our fault. Tune in from 11pm to hear the definitive soundtrack to malicious afterthoughts played out by an Evil fucking 'seed.

godless trifecta.
Whose Responsible This? // 10.02.11
Coming to you now without a hint of regret, on this week's show myself and a worthless collaboration of similar fleshbags will be discussing recent controversy over the origins of the Moon and why this is so difficult for vitriolic chat show hosts to understand, proof the Pope uses an iPhone to keep up to date on all your wanking-related sins, evidence of man's hubris for building stupid devices to mess with your mum's fanny and so much more. This is gonna be two hours of hate, so get yer helmet on from 13:00-15:00 GMT tomorrow afternoon!

a sexy lady in her thirties pays a visit.....
She's hardly what you would call an able replacement for Allan's dulcet tones but the She Said team eventually relented to Sandra's endless begging and offers of all things sordid. So tonight, she and Derek played some awesome tunes and got very silly indeed!!

no show tonight
We've let down Subcity, we've let down our listeners, but most of all we've let down ourselves. Unfortunately we can't make it in for tonight's show due to a combination of violent diarrhoea and a complete lack of preparation - so instead of rushing out to the toilet every 5mins while delivering questionable links we thought it better to give it a swerve and come back fresh as Big Daddy Kane next week.
Once again we apologise and suggest you check out some old episodes for the shits and giggles (no pun intended) x

Have you heard about the word // 03.02.11
This week we thought about 'nothing'. But what the show may have lacked in planned connotative content, it more than made up for with music. Thanks to the assistance of DJ Sartre and his collection of vinyl, the lonely vacuum of nothingness was a fulfilling musical adventure.

pas mal pas mal du tout
This week on The Red Room, we discussed the wonderful and perculiar student occupation of the formerly vacant Hetherington Research Club building in Glasgow University and its wonderfully welcoming and friendly participants (http://freehetherington.wordpress.com/), an innappropriate (in terms of audience) Malcolm Middleton gig at Mono Café Bar, and the culinary delight that is quinoa.
Subjects also discussed included the literature of Gilbert Adair (The Dreamers), Stieg Larsson (The Millenium Trilogy) and John Wyndham (Day of the Triffids), the films of Jean-Luc Godard (Bande à Part, Week End), Pier Paolo Pasolini (Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom), Akira Kurosawa (Seven Samurai), Giorgos Lanthimos (Dogtooth) and a certain Hoboken-based band currently performing "sitcom theatre" of a certain Manhattan-based sitcom...

Billy Kirkwood pops into the subcity studio on 45 kicks and has a wee chat. Excuse me if the show starts being a little professional. Billy pops in and wrecks the joint. A perfectly built one too.

everyone's a winner
It's been a busy week for Flatrate.
Monday saw the relaunch of Initial itch Live at the 13th Note, and you can hear some of the performers on this week's show. We also found ourselves at this year's arts industry spectacular, the Culture Sparks GaGa Awards, and we managed to capture a little of the glitz and the glamour on tape. We're also gearing up for The Belief Project at the Tron, our very own theatrical endeavour. So in a strange turn of events, the interviewers become the interviewees this week, as the Skinny's Gareth K Vile grills Rob and Steve on the what for and why of The Belief Project.
Show regulars Katryn Turner and Megan Reid of Junction 25 also make an appearance on this week's show to tell us about From Where I'm Standing, which is being re-staged at the Tramway. Anyone who missed it the last time round, get a ticket. It'll be excellent.
Finally Liz Carruthers gives us all the goss on new comedy Just Checking, and the low down on everything from Taggart to divas, from stand-up to the Globe.

520 warmup
Hey... I'm not able to make it down to the studio so can't do this week's show live but I've recorded a nice mix that'll be broadcast at the usual time, in advance of Beat Beneath hitting Club 520 this Friday.
Check out the Facebook event page here for all you need to know about the lineup that night, other 520 nights this month, and your presenter's much-exaggerated skills with the ladies:

17 - reggae covers
Yeah, thats right. This week we'll be sharing the best reggae covers we have to offer. Some old, some new and to be honest some cheesy as hell. Whether you're a fan of reggae music or just want a giggle, this is one to tune in to.
Expect to hear reggae versions of The Beatles, The Police, The Eagles, D12, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones and hunners hunners hunners more.
Also, this week is the first week we'll be broadcasting live from our NEW TIME 1 hour earlier.
So if you listen live then please tune in at midnight. And if you listen again then this doesn't really bother you...
PEACE!

getting ready to rumble
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 11.02.11
Reports coming in from an unknown location suggest that Vile is already researching for the show's tenth anniversary - how else can the huge backlog of interviews be explained? He is promising an appearance from Zoe Van Goey, more tracks from their new album, alongside the final instalment of the interview with Rob Drummond and words from anyone else not fast enough to escape his roving mike. At the latest estimate, these include chats with his next door neighbour, members of every contemporary dance company on the West Coast and some toddlers using the Tramway.
Exclusive new tracks include a sample from Fur Hood - soon to be seen live at Mono - and a track from Alex Smoke's exciting new score for Faust, part of the Glasgow Film Festival, flying the flag for dynamic contemporary classical composition.
Meanwhile, Producer Harry and Vile are in a competition to see who can provide the most relevant tracks for the film festival. An interview with cast members of Junction 25, who are performing a farewell to their celebrated study of family relationships, another with rising songwriter Andrea Heins and a guest slot from the Not So Secret Society are all arranged, and Vile's psychiatrist has promised that his tendency to forget what he is talking about, or launch into post-modern analysis of Glasgow's performance scene, will be lessened by the new regime of drugs.

rain and drug run
I take a break from delivering dosette boxes to drop by the studio amidst a mild hurricane descending on Glasgow to do the show as per usual. Blowin' in from the West I play new music from Fleet Foxes, Vivian Girls and Young Galaxy while locals Belle and Sebastian have the right idea of shelter with their latest single 'I want the World to Stop'. A psychedelic golden oldie howls in the driving rain as we retreat to the 'Garden of Earthly Delights' where there is sun, warmth along with James Blake, Lykke Li and a beautiful tribute to John Barry through Nancy Sinatra's 'You Only Live Twice'.
Love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes x

episode 20: a reunion of sorts
We haven't seen much of each other (except Tanner and Cheesy who are soon merging into one super person) over the past week so we'll be having a one hour on air catch up. The murdog will be looking for suggestions of what to do while he is sitting in a hotel room for a week for his new job (we'll elaborate on air) and talking about how he is missing the start of the Superbowl so he can do the show. As for the otehr lads, you'll need to wait and see, it's probably a lot more exciting than the Murdog anyway (as per usual).
Expect a pished Big Cunt (Old Firm was today) and yet more choise tunes to end your week. Get involved on the Facebook page as always, and if you mis the live show listen again anytime.

Left alone in the studio, Vile invites along his performers from his recent Creative Lab to chat about Queen based musicals, ballet inspired horror and the greatest seque from musical theatre to heavy rock in the history of the show. He's also been boasting about the use of the music for Swan Lake about half way through the review of Black swan ever since he faded it in by accident.

it ain't a dream, chief
It Ain't Workin' Chief // 05.02.11
Dreams and Nightmares provide the theme, as a follow up to last week's Sleep show. Tunes and whatever else I can dream up.. Join me at 4pm
Posted at 10:56, 4th February 2011
this week, our theme is death.
Everyone keeps dying. It's getting me down.
Rolf Julius is dead. Trish Keenan is dead. Casco is dead. John Barry is dead.
More importantly, Neil Young, one of the most graceful players to ever pull on the sacred sky blue colours of my beloved Manchester City, is also dead.
All these passings are categorical proof that:
A) Nietzsche was right. God is fucking dead. B) There is no fucking God. But I reckon that was what Friedrich was probably getting at.
So... tonight I invite you to shuffle off your mortal coils and join me for an hour of musicking themed around one of lifes only certainties.
Death.
Featuring brain dreck sermons from 16 Bitch Pile Up, hopelessly optimistic street corner gospel, doomstep auteurship fro Shackleton, paranoid dub fantasy from Augustus Pablo, industrialized nightmare clatter from Lemon Kittens, Thai pop exotica based around the death of an entire city, French underground electronic garishness and loads of other stuff to slit yer wrists to.

show 12: exercising our autistic license
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 03.02.11
Aaaah. The digital age. It's brought us many delights - the electronic toothbrush, dildos and massage chairs to name but a (vibrating) few - but it's also taken the romance out of a lot of things (see above). No longer do you routinely pour over the inside sleeve of CDs and marvel at the artwork that has been designed to sit so beautifully alongside those sounds that are reverberating around inside your ear canals. There's a disconnection associated with people downloading MP3s and uploading artwork into Itunes or having your favourite album's cover set as desktop wallpaper... It's not really what album artwork was first for, is it? Tonight we're going to be spinning out some tunes that came packaged in some of the best fucking sleeves you can ever lay your eyes and hands upon. Not necessarily our favourite tunes from said albums, but that's not the point of tonights show...
Not solely about the music, rather a raucous celebration of an oft now overlooked facet that you consider when buying music - the whole package. Luckily, that's also Chris' nickname so it all ties together nicely.

the mosaic lp...
Ez!
Im back in the subcity studio again this Friday after last weekends expedition up north and I've got a whole box of fresh D&B ready to be cained. Get locked to hear the brand new Rockwell EP, including a colab with dubstep maestro Untold, the new SPY track on Critical and tunes from System, Scuba and Synkro off the highly anticipated Mosaic LP on D-Bridge's Exit Label.
Posted at 14:42, 3rd February 2011
We're back and who knows what we are going to play? Your guess is as good as ours, so why not tune in at 9pm live to hear what we play or you can always listen again later on when it suits you.
We do have for this show an exclusive hardcore mini-mix from the one and only Mr Steve Stunts. It will be brief (about 10 minutes) but it will also be superb.

kid robotik clinches the local hero award...
SO MUCH GOOD MUSIC. We don't like to toot our own horn, but beep fucking beep. This week's episode of Synth on Subcity Radio featured some utterly incredible local heat from the likes of Dersonna, NoFACE, Quahaze and Dirty Basement, while Massive Music's latest signing Kid Robotik stole the Local Hero award from Simon Bryan and Kabur - both equally bangin' in their own right.
This week's Blog Burner came from J Kamata & 2000F for their new mix on Encore - a deep slice of dubwise soul which rumbles away like distant thunderstorm. Serious heat. Trust.
Other musical delights came from James Blake, Broke One, Cassius & Harvard Bass, so what you waitin' on fool? Get listenin!

the return of beat beneath and other news
After a few months off, Beat Beneath has sneaked back onto Subcity's virtual airwaves (cable waves just doesn't sound as cool...) for 2011 and there's been a couple of crackers so far. 26th January's episodes explores some deep, dubby and raw techno vibes while 2nd February brings a bit of funk with some mid-tempo house numbers.
Also, your fine host Simon Bryan is DJing at the biggest new night-spot in town, Sauchiehall Street's Club 520, on the 11th of February. It's a Friday night and the soundsystem is suitably heavy so do come down and check it out...

one looks gormless...
Anna and Rachael fail to guess this week's By Popular Drumand track, a story of misplaced kindness confirms nastiness is inherent in Izzy's character, and Morrissey is used to continue an argument that broke out a queue the week before. All that's left to say is some sort of blustery middle aged statement: 'standard!' / 'classic deadbeat club!!' / 'business as usual then!!!'

phil gatt meets vile to preview the next session
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 04.02.11
"Ever since my producer Harry taught me how to press the record button, I've been roaming Glasgow for interviews," Gareth K Vile boasts. Indeed, his over-excitement at waving microphones in people's faces has led to performers frequently hiding whenever he appears at the Tron, Tramway or CCA. Fortunately, some of the artists aren't fast enough. Harry is currently musing over eighteen hours of interviews, which Gareth reckons will fit in the show "as long as I don't get distracted by some obscure critical point and deliver one of my ever popular lectures. Take the difference between performance and representation..."
This week's victims include Kirsten Innes, LJ and Iain from The Arches discussing Sound Thought, and Donna Rutherford. Vile is even promising some exclusive new tracks from an exciting local band...
As it turns out, Vile's tour around Scotland - he was spotted in Edinburgh giving his opinions on performance violence as part of the Manipulate festival - led to one of the worst quality recordings in Subcity history. Harry's look of despair was hardly assuaged even by the appearance of a preview copy of the Zoey Van Goey album.

now wakes the sea
Joining us this week on The Red Room was the bespectacled maestro himself, Bo'nessian musician Alan McCormack, aka Now Wakes the Sea, who, in addition to playing us some of his wonderful aleatoric folk compositions, provided us with suitably acerbic banter. Topics of discussion included the pros and cons of spending six hours in a rehearsal room, drowning out drunk people on public transport via noise music, and our first gig together as a band.
Also included is a short review of local psychadelic kraut droners Frams Torners' second ever gig at Mono Café Bar, discussions on the act of shooting a screen test, on the films of Stanley Kubrick, Darren Aronofsky, and John Huston, on Thom's experiences with Transcendental Meditation, and of rebels who may or may not have causes.

journey to the centre of the forest
Most glorious night!
Thou wert not sent for slumber! let me be
A sharer in thy fierce and far delight.
George Gordon, Lord Byron
For our first show of the new year, we have as our theme Wilderness. We went for a walk in the woods and visited Keith Muir in the Forest of Galloway. He told us about the Dark Sky Park, light pollution and what it's like to be alone in the woods at night. Slip through a mysterious door and into Tropic of Clyde. This episode, our heroes begin to be hunted.
Theme for next time is Electricity. Get in touch on our blog where you'll also find pictures, videos and thoughts.

episode 3: neds
The Hammy & Jenko Show // 01.02.11
We're back for another week of talking pish, and this week Hammy reveals that he's had some bad news which has torn his family apart - which is quite funny for the rest of us.
As is the norm now we look through what's been happening "In the News this Week", covering topics ranging from the Andy Gray/Richard Keys sexism affair to the Clydebank Post's expose of neds who post photos of themselves drinking 'n' that on the interwebs. What bothered us most was that this isn't a recent phenomenon, as we prove by playing a "diss" targeted at one local young team to another, that was made in 2005 at the earliest.
The theme continues as Jenko describes the audience at the cinema when he went to see the film NEDS, and Hammy recalls what happened when the junkie he'd left in charge of his house attempted to rob it.

Please have a listen to the show.
Not only because I play the 2 finest singalong tracks of my childhood (don't worry they are both The Small Faces at their very best), but also my producer Kathryn took over the show.
Yes that meant Paolo 'chuffin' Nuttini but you know what it wasn't my show (even though it kind of was) and she made that Paisley jakey impersonator work.

Students for Scarves and Charm // 30.01.11
If you haven't already come to the conclusion that Allo Darlin' are the best band in the past, present and (I'm no seer, but most probably) future of indie pop, this episode of Students for Scarves and Charm is here to help you reach that epiphany. In addition to Allo Darlin' album tracks, covers and Elizabeth Morris's recent collaboration with Darren Hayman, expect to hear classic indie pop from Marine Girls, Hefner and Dolly Mixture.
Alex Winston is this week's Unsigned Act who you can hear more from at http://www.myspace.com/alexwinston and keep an eye out for her forthcoming EP 'Sister Wife' due out on Valetine's Day.
I also pledge to give the Wish I'd Kept A Scrapbook feature a bit more love (so far this has only amounted to moving it to the first half of the show). This week we celebrate the pop perfection that is The Smiths' 'Rusholme Ruffians'.

19: the aftermath of club 519
So one half of Disco Disco finally had their big night on Friday opening what is soon to be Sauchiehall Streets second best club, and Cheesy and Tanner were busy too. Hear all the goss from Friday as Disco Disco had a night on the town for the opening of Club 520, which in our opinion was pretty tremendous. Also up this week is the usual opinions on stuff that's going on, apparently the Murdog has been mulling over how best to start a Tunisia/Egypt style protest to get David Cameron out of office.
Get involved on the Facebook page mid show for any shouts or requests, and most importantly some content ideas from us, as there is less chance of anyone having preparing an agenda like last week than there is of Cheesy getting a hair cut anytime soon.
Oh, there will be some music too

'When You Wake Up'
The Kaleidoscope wake up call includes new music from Best Coast, The Vaccines, Earth Girl Helen Brown, Keep Shelly in Athens along with a cover from The Bamboos and golden oldies from The Kinks, The Rolling Stones and The Doors.
I guess I could try and make some philosophical attempt to try and define that feeling when you wake up, but doesn't it change depending on the day, time and season? I reckon it does, things like birthdays and holidays also alter the mood to which you start your day. When Im grumpy I get the age old "someone's got out the wrong side of the bed today, haven't they!" which I can only add to by a further dismissive grunt, as more often than none I only have the option to get out of one side... Anyway, despite all of this the best days start with music, right? I miss my radio alarm clock for it. No rude awakening here. Click. Listen. Enjoy
Love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes xx

extract from an interview with gareth k vile
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 14.01.11
"I like to think of the show as being the radio equivalent of contact improvisation,"laughs Gareth K Vile. "It takes everything that is going on in my life, and turns it into audio gold."
Of course, anyone familiar with Vile's behaviour as a "Performance Critic" will be aware of his idiosyncratic mixture of high ambitions and almost comic naivety. While he wanders around the studio at Subcity, holding his microphone like he thinks he is a rapper, his Producer Harry is in the corner, working hard to fix the sound levels on an interview that Vile conducted in the cavernous Briggait because "he likes the atmosphere there". Harry is the unspoken hero of the Radio Hour, somehow managing to contain Vile's frequent flights of fantasy and personal recriminations.
The first episode of 2011 is a fine case in point. At various points, Vile claims friendship with local celebrities, picturing himself as the nexus of the Scottish performance scene. Harry rescues him repeatedly from further disgrace by making sure that the playlist, inspired by Celtic Connections, interrupts the monologues.
Whether Vile's quest to create a new form of criticism succeeds or fails depends very much on the listener's patience. "I am influenced by Free Jazz, John Cage, anything experimental, Belgian choreography and forgetting to pay for my internet connection," he continues.
(Taken from Margaret Kirk's soon to be published collection of interviews, Meetings with Remarkably Stupid Men)

first live show (recording)
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 28.01.11
Having been separated by competing timetables, Performance Critic Gareth K Vile and his producer Harry finally team up on air for their weekly look at Glasgow, and Scotland's cultural highlights. Vile races between the UK Theatre School, The Tramway,The Arches and the studio, seeking out burlesque theatre, wrestling theatre and Pecha Kucha, while Harry tries to clear up the mess this ex-Latin teaching neophyte contact improviser leaves behind.
Fortunately, the arrival of Adam Ketterer, drummer in Glasgow's There Will Be Fireworks brings some semblance of order, while Des O'Connor, Gypsy Charms, Chris Wilson and Rob Drummond all manage to get the occasional word in between Vile's monologues. Musical choices include plenty of rare tracks - an exclusive from Fireworks, a trinity of cheeky cabaret singalongs from O'Connor and a pair of tracks from Crystal Castles that cause further bickering in the studio.

dj squish kibosh mix!
Theez Boyz R Athletes // 29.01.11
Banished from his home planet for a crime he didn't commit, Squish Kibosh drifted aimlessly through interstellar space for millennia, desperately trying to uncover the true culprit of his accused felony so as to clear his name and reintegrate with the Flaxarian hive mind from which he'd been expelled. All leads exhausted, Squish reluctantly came to accept that he would never return to Nomicron Delta 5 nor see his beloved gastropod clutch ever again. With 14 heavy hearts Squish resolved to seek out a new home, somewhere he could be accepted, where his past wouldn't haunt him. After much searching he finally discovered a certain little blue planet he now considers home. Uranus. It was here he remained in exile, all hope of returning to his beloved place of gestation gone forever.
Theez Boyz first became aware of the plight of Squish during a charity fundraiser for victims of the Arcturian timequake that had left so many without adequate age. It was at this fundraiser that we had the honour of meeting Krom Krabash envoy to Nomicron Delta 5 who, over a plate of crabs, happened to mention the curious case of Squish Kibosh. Intrigued, and always interested in interfering with the justice systems of alien planets Theez Boyz decided to get involved. Word was sent to Uranus that Theez Boyz were on the case. Squish appeared in Glasgow soon after.
By way of thanking us for our efforts in trying to clear his name, Squish decided to repay us in the traditional Earth manner. By creating an astounding mix of hip hop, acid and electro that would convey his inner most feelings of gratitude. Having 17 tentacles benefited greatly.
And so, this Saturday Theez Boyz will be proudly presenting Squish Kiboosh's "Hand's Across The Galaxy Mix." Tune in at ten or listen again whenever you please.
Cya'll there!
Theez Boyz

ma boiler?
That was undoubtedly the most educational hour of Scottish music i've ever experienced. There was mind maps and everything. I'm going to try get a scan of Chris' scribbled notes as they really are interesting to see. We are definitely getting him back in for Vol. 2 very soon.
As well as being an encyclopedia of music, Chris plays with Dead or American (www.myspace.com/deadoramerican) and also Hey Enemy (www.myspace.com/heyenemy).
He also books bands for Bar Bloc, a cracking wee live music pub that I definitely recommend any night o the week. It is a truly unique little place and ye also yer pure cheap pizza.
Enough promotion, have a wee listen to the show and get educated x

The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 28.01.11
We're happy with this one - make sure you listen in to this week's jam-packed serving of the All Day Cheeky Breakfast. We premiere new features, find out what's on and what the day is, Michael shares his hidden gems from G Love and Special Sauce, we defend the (truly) indefensible - Callum will never forgive himself. Kevin is more interested in Murray's performance in the tennis, but that doesn't stop him from insulting his fellow presenters a healthy amount.
Great tracks too from Black Lips, Andy Williams, Hall and Oates, Madvillain and Blondie (and Prince, of course...). All in all, it's one of the best show's yet, make sure you e-mail us with your comments and requests for next week (we'll be celebrating all things German) at alldaycheeky@gmail.com

the dystopian lesbian space nightclub of my dreams
Hiya!
So. When I was ill the other week, I had the strangest dream. I was hanging out with the Colonial fleet, Battlestar Galactica style, in what I can only describe as a cool as nuts lounge bar populated entirely by lesbians, all tooled up with massive rail guns and rocking cool Terminator shades and stuff.
They were going completely bonkers to the music, grooving like hip cats did to Bird back in the day, but with a compellingly violent air about them, ready to blast some Cylon ass all the way back to the other end of the galaxy if need be.
I couldnt make out what the music was like, mainly because in the dream, as in life, I was precariously drunk, teetering on the edge of vomiting thanks largely to a sweet tasting purple liquid that I was being fed by Claire Balding, who was behind the bar for some reason.
Anyway, it was totally awesome so I thought I'd attempt to recreate a little of that dytopian sci-fi atmosphere on this weeks show. Minimal talking, more noise. It's a mixture of combined futurist lo-fi psyche and dreamlike tape visions, free folk freak out rituals, harrowing blasts of throat singing and mangled hurdy gurdy, poised Italian sound art and even a dollop of UK bass.
Frack 'em up sisters.

show 11: a night of ethnic slurs
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 27.01.11
"Krautrock is a subjective British phenomenon" - Julian Cope.
The key word there is "phenomenon". Teaming up with Krautrock specialist Gary NASA, this week we're bringing you the best of Krautrock as we see it. There's an "in" for everyone as we move through the more well known works of Can and Faust, spin some more obscure and less vaunted (but every bit as ball-grippingly astounding) sound from the likes of Popol Vuh and Kluster and even touch on a more modern take on the genre.
Tune in and find yourself utterly submerged in a world of 150bpm motorik beats and some of the best soundscapes you're likely to hear. We promise to touch the hearts and loins of even the most staunch Germanophobe.

Whose Responsible This? // 27.01.11
Was there ever any doubt that I would return to you? I'm scheduled into June so even after I've lost all will to even look at a computer again, I'll still be bringing you fresh Whose Responsible This? Look forward to this week's edition, as I'm going to be revisiting a story from the last episode, warning you about indestructible hand dangers and the dangers of blowing up your own hand for the sake of eternal love as well as rounding up an assault of lesser, weaker, more nerdy stories you can pick on and shame in the playground. Cut in some music like so much fine cocaine and you've got yourself an episode, folks. Broadcast begins at 14:00 GMT on Thursday 27th Jan, so be there.

mad & macabre
Jackie your Body has two fresh mixes this week for you; Leatherface's french horror film-esqe juke and footwork mix, Mad and Macabre. Dave Quam described this mix as 'I had a dream about a serial killer who was the dopest footworker once, this was the soundtrack'. The mix contains exclusive new material and new mixes of The Escapists and Alkpote. The second mix comes from Soca obsessives D’Hana and Rizzla. Their Nu Life Vol. 1 Soca mix is heavy on low end bass and features some Philly Club from Bomber Gurl, a Jackie your Body favourite. I'll also be playing some new juke and footwork from the Bangs and Footwork album, recently released on Planet Mu and perhaps some tracks from up and coming Juke label Ghettophiles.

hot this year
No theme for the show this week, but after last week's Joe Gibbs marathon there's some serious catching up to do - as such, mixed in with a few oldies, we'll have two hours of the latest tunes tearing up the dancehall, a few big ones from last year, and a few from artists who are expected to do big things this year...
Posted at 19:56, 26th January 2011
am here tae fix your boiler...
So this Friday will be perhaps the most unusual show yet, as we are joined by Chris Cusack, a 'jack of all trades' character that as well as playing in bands, teaching kung fu and booking bands for bloc..also has an insane amount of knowledge of music that me and Johnny have never heard of.
So this show will be an education, as we will get to sit back and enjoy some sounds that Chris feels have shaped the Scottish music scene over the past few years. Johnny and I are not only excited, but also grateful that we haven't had to do any preparation.

Our fourth musician in session is a little less well-known than our previous guests, but you'll soon wonder where Reverie aka Louise Connell has been all your life. Airdrie, apparently.

yahweh
In yet another first for The Red Room, we were joined live in studio by local musician and bearded man Lewis Cook of experimental Glasgow groups Yahweh and Frams Torners, who provided not only a generous collection of exciting and unusual music, but also a wealth of interesting and sometimes amusing banter.
Topics discussed included the passive-aggresive "accidental" destruction of Jenny's laptop; polite, mysterious and potentially homeless/murderous gentlemen visiting the USA; our favourite new iPhone apps (including audio demos of some of the more musical ones), as well as a rundown of our most anticipated films at this year's Glasgow Film Festival; and brief reviews of films by Jean Renoir (Boudu Saved From Drowning), Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan), and Pascal Laugier (Martyrs). Also contained somewhere within these two hours is Thom's very first big up.
Enjoy.

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 20.01.11
Alright, alright, alright. I know, this is late... Many apologies. Sidetracked by new jobs, old jobs and handjobs but at least we've got 'round to it eventually. This last instalment had us playing back-to-back, wall-to-wall, lips-to-lips tunes from some of our favourite storytellers. No Enid Blyton Crunk or Cormac McCarthy Polka, just a plethora of outright rinsers.

Keeping us company in the Subcity sweatbox this week is IN ABOUT IT! graphic designer and local MC extraordinaire Panda.
After many a madwaeit freestyle in the Art School smoking area, Panda has been progressing like fuck, and is now an active member of the Volition Scotland movement, which showcases local underground talent, mostly hip-hop, but they manage to leave themselves a bit of room to move.

future dubs
This episode features a mix from Tom Marshall (aka Dam Mantle) an audio and visual artist based in Glasgow who released two EPs last year, the latest being Purple Arrow available via his label Growing Records. Dam Mantle's refusal to temper his productions by deleting beats, reprogramming analogue synth jams and re-pitching vocals often explore what is absent as much as what is heard.
After investigating this grey area in performances around the UK and Europe, with improvised interpretations of the 8-bit pysch of Purple Arrow, the next tour in March comes with some changes and new dubs. Tom’s interest in “working at 150BPM, working with half speed and double speed..seeing how the body responds to that in a club environment” and his claim that all music is "folk music" connects the reclamation of the past that Juke and other Chicago House movements make and explains Tom's use of an 808 on new jam Movement. Dam Mantle's interpretation of the connections between sounds from the past and present included in this mix, the crusty dub of Dadawah, the "psychotomimetic collages" of Dem Hunger, the compact funk of Pavan, the meloncholic juke of DJ Earl are some indication of what is shaping his future dubs and new record First Wave.

This week we try out a new feature, this one called ‘Actually Going Back To Our Old Features, Rather Than Having New Ones Each Week Based On A Tenuous Pun We Thought Was Quite Clever’ (pun based name for this feature coming shortly) so you lucky listeners get a song from under the floorboards, a Fall-ing and laughing and some actual proper mega super exciting news. - On top of that, of course, we also introduce the new and tenuously punned 'By Popular Drumand' and 'Downbeat Club'.

Posted at 13:29, 25th January 2011
dam mantle (growing records)
Whats new?
I’m looking forward to playing in March with like a new set-up. Its solo, its kind of swaying to something steadier. Its probably a bit easier to dance to. When I was playing with Calum we were playing tracks that were totally different from each other, it was great and it forced us to improvise them a lot, but i kind of feel the new set is more club based. I’m working towards an album, kind of fighting self-doubt. I’ve kind of scrapped it twice now and restarted again. I’m making as much music as possible, and at some point I will decide what i will do with it, but yeah I’m going to select tracks to use for an album.
I’m working on doing videos for it to, I do that during the day, then I go home and work on the music. I work with other people for that, I’m working with my friend Richard at the moment, we are doing an installation soon at the Arches. Even the music comes from jamming with other people, then its a case of reprogramming it to have an end product. Its sounding a bit different, the new stuff has got more of an American influence. The new stuff is faster paced, more of an American dance music influence from ghettohouse to crunk -with a mix of what has ever a influence to me.
So whats the new set-up?
APC, MPD, playing with bit and bobs, its just mainly so I can compress it, so its easier to travel about the world. When I record, I dont use soft synths, its all analogue, recorded in and untreated as audio. So in may ways the live set doesn’t resemble the process behind making the music, but its a means to travel, you cant take all your synths with you. As much I would love to.
You have done a bunch of remixes for people like Gonjasufi, Ben Butler & Mousepad, Conquering Animal Sound, etc. Are you a fan of Gonjasufi’s work?
Yeah absolutely. That album is awesome. I think its kind of important in a way, like how its crossed a lot of of boundaries culturally, or like how music is recorded. I think its of-now because it goes through a lot of processes that have come in music previous to it. If that makes any sense? I remember them saying they didn’t want any digital processing in it at all, thats why some of them have such a real raw analgoue distortion that makes it sound like there is dust on the needle. I dont know what they were doing when they recorded that.
How do you pick and go about reworking other peoples songs?
I guess like with every remix I do, Its about being aware of the context of the track is already in. Some people i have spoken to that have done remixes before say the didn’t even listen to the original track before and I can’t quite understand that. So i guess in the reflection of that I try to take it somewhere, I think the remix I did for Ben Butler & Mousepad it operates in the same space as what Ben Butler & Mousepad does, but I don’t quite know how.
When I interviewed Joe Howe (Ben Butler & Mousepad) he said that he was interested in making music that challenges the standard or what could be considered a standard formula for a “dance” track...intro, 8 bars, breakdown etc.
Its something I think about a lot, I totally agree with Joe there, i think its starting to happen more and more, its happened tons in the past, but people like to deconstruct everything, but yeah its something I’m into, like playing with the structures of electronic music and not feeling any need to follow any unwritten rules of how you should structure music, and letting influences from the structure of other music other than electronic music..god I’m waffling.
So whats the mix about?
I guess i started off playing records that I would play to dance to, there quite electronic, then I sort of trailed off and started mixing with my housemate. We thought about it hindsight, it goes to many countries and lots of different styles. I guess all the music comes from the discourse of being removed from something, for instance the last track is by Thomas Mapfumo, who is from Zimbawae, they are kind of protest songs, or really sorrowful songs about being in the civil war. Its like my friend Richard said: “all music is folk music”. So its a mixtape of music from a lot of different parts of the world and it goes back and forth in time and around the world. They’ve all influenced eachother, there is a lot of dub on there, kinda crusty records. It starts of with some Hyperdub, or futuredub, well thats what i would call it, which is a really big influence, much more so than early 2000 dubstep. Scientist especially is a much bigger influence than say what was being played at DMC.

a few additional notes.
I've also added our newly founded Soundcloud to the links on your bottom right of the screen. We'll be using this page to host promo mixes, tracks and whatever else to supplement our show.
On top of that we will be going down a different route of playing out tonight. Tonight our show will be in the form of a live, continuous mixed set. This requires planning, lugging gear about and taking things up a notch. I'm excited about this.

the blogger battle
Pop Goes The Revolution // 28.01.11
Sometimes it's worth remembering there are a tonne of other people on the internet who talk about unsigned and independent new music. Some of these people release songs in small groups for you to download - we call these people podcasters - whilst others choose to write about music on a 'webpage' - we call these people bloggers.
Some of these people are actually quite good. And more often than not The PGTR Team can be found reading them, pinching bands, and pretending we found them first. So in a special one off we thought we'd hand the entire PGTR playlist over to some other people (I know what you're thinking, that's never happened before - that's right, we trust these people that much.)
We've invited 5 of the best bloggers out there to select four tunes each to try and win you over. The Pop Cop Peenko Aye Tunes Song By Toad and Halina from Glasgow Podcart (a blog that talks) will all be selecting tunes and explaining why they chose them, and why their tunes are the best.
The only question remains: Who 'da best?
Listen in to Pop Goes The Revolution and see who steals your ears and has you scurrying hurriedly to their website.
PS We apologise that this blogger battle will involve a distinct lack of physical jousting (metaphorical jousting is encouraged).

Is a seal the biggest threat to our nation's children? Is Obama saving the US economy by robbing Swiss banks? What is public hair? Had World War III begun? Is the legal system too complicated? Is zebra meat stripey? Are Specsavers stealing your mail?

This week: since by the time St Andrew's Day rolls around we're usually knee-deep in year-end best-of lists, we've taken to celebrating Scottishness on the show around Burns Night, and this year's no different. In preparation for the cutting of the veggie haggis (or, y'know, something less gross) we've got some lesser-known Scottish indie, two sides of the same song from Teenage Fanclub and BMX Bandits, a gorgeous #1 Record from The Blue Nile and another, potentially-humiliating-for-Chris, new feature.

.......or something.
She Said had no reason whatsoever to apologise for a change to the scheduled programme as once more we welcomed back Josh (our first reserve stand-by substitute apparently) for some endearing punk/goth sparring with possibly the usual drivel about Echo and the Bunnymen being amazing (yawn!) and the supposed merits of J Mascis guitar solos (bleugh!).
Fear not, there were amazing tunes, the usual dodgy patter and lotsa loving in the air.

let's take a step back here
Pop Goes The Revolution // 21.01.11
We've played a lot of really new stuff recently. We kept finding new bands and new artists and going 'oooo... you heard of these guys." However we realised that most of the time we were getting whole albums and playing just one tune or two - this is wrong.
So we've gone back and found more stuff by a bunch of great acts from the first three months of this year's PGTR.
However for those of you who think that playing something by a band you have heard even four bars of before is 'so last year/month/week' - rest assured we've got a few new tunes by the likes of The Voyeurist, Oh! Stockholm & Birdeatsbaby.
George also accuses Nikki of playing the worst song she's ever played in the Saving Grace feature, the Song Battle features three of George's favourite songs of all time, and the Nostalgia takes us to the world of Pete Gabriel. Enjoy.

we're back, properly...
Its a new year which means, new years resolutions, change and broken promises! Our gift to you is a new feature, however what form that takes is down to you. Get posting your ideas on the facebook page, we have few ideas- but we're gonna let you decide!
On the show we'll be playing a variety of great music including Admiral Fallow (Andy's new obsession), James Blake and reminiscing of the year 2004 with a song by Dogs Die in Hot Cars.
And of course News or Blues, we can't forget that.
Happy New Year

the cartoon sex episode / top ten 2011
It’s that time of year again when film critic types, even rank amateurs like ourselves, have a go at reducing twelve months of cinema highs and lows into ten films fit for the ages. We’ve roped in Chris Ward from the mighty Left of the Dial to help us in our rundown, which once again highlights the differences in our film tastes. Only two films have the honour of making it onto all three of our lists and it’s notable that both have nerdy, narcissistic child-men as their main protagonists. What does that say about us then?
It’s a two hour show, so sit back, relax and enjoy the best cinema from 2010 as described by the worst that radio has to offer from that, or any other year.

Some gentle country-tinged folk from Oliver and slightly-cheesy-but-very-good indie from Emma, Our relentless search for a possible returning feature (apart from laughing at things on The Sun's website) continues with our foray in to the world of romantic literature, which was so uncomfortable that it might never happen again.

hahaha
Having produced nearly 100 tracks in the past year, Frazer Graham (aka HaHaHa) is a dedicated producer, recording found sounds to create some of the phased melody lines that share something with the slick submerged DnB of LTJ Bukem. Manipulating the sound of snapping wood and dripping taps on some of the tracks on his Evil EP (available via Swimteam Records) has just been one of his approaches to a brand of house that takes some tighter ascending 8-bit synths on latest track Cyclops. His live performances involve a big bag of live percussion, re-edits, original productions, tight punchy bass drums and rattling toms.
His most recent project has been a collaboration with fellow Subcity cohort Raksha, a few tracks have already been leaked from an EP planned for release later this year. Even Subcity veteran Benny Boom has given his latest mixtape props on the Mixed Bizness blog.
Why did you start Swimteam Records?
Me and my friend Suezz, who I do Alpine Ski Champion with, wanted to start our own platform to release what we were recording, so we set it up and released Kingdom which was the first four songs we made together.
How do you approach your productions?
That track Leaky Submarine on my EP, took a couple of weeks. I was trying to limit myself at the time. All the songs were just recorded with a kick, high hat, cracking wood and water. A big influence of mine is Micachu and the Shapes, they have used the sounds of hoovers, that really influenced me. I don’t really like synthesizers, probably because I don’t really have a good one. I think it's kind of interesting using familiar sounds but making them sound a little bit different. Sampling them or make melodies of them to, I try not to do too much, I like minimal stuff. I like making it just to sound interesting.

international urban bass extravaganza
Over the past couple of weeks I have been listening to a lot of old stuff and a lot of new stuff, some forgotten classics and some totally wierd shit. I thought for this show I would let you hear some of the music I have been getting into.
From South African hip hop and Brazilian ragga to Swedish skweee and London jungle. Expect to hear a bit of everything, this is an international urban bass music extravaganza!

episode 2: you can do it if you b&q it
The Hammy & Jenko Show // 19.01.11
We're back for the New Year and despite several resolutions being made we have, for the most part, failed to become any less shambolic than usual.
There is actually some content on the (now fortnightly) show, with segments including the self-explanatory "In the News This Week", as well as "What Happened to Hammy?", where an investigation leads to a phonecall with B&Q. We're also joined by our mate Nick as well as our new voiceover guy Charles.
Admittedly, it gets off to a bit of a shaky start, but by the end it has almost passed for what could be recognisably seen as a radio show.

fluster sweat & some reet decent tunes....
Yes, we were a bit late getting off the mark with this week's how. Trust me, had you seen us tearing through Glasgow city centre shouting at incompetent drivers then you'd understand our sweaty flustering.
Tonight we had two Blog Burner's, the first provided by Brighton Disco diamonds 'Maxxi Soundsystem' with their re-edit of Alexander O' Neal's 80's piano-house classic 'Criticize', and the second came from Zed Bias with a cut off his new album called 'Salsa Funk' - heavy.
Raksha, Kid Robotik & Daniel Donnelly all battled it out for the title of Local Hero with three exceptional tunes. Who won? You'll need to listen to find out. They're all winners in our book though. RESPECT

broadcast
With regards to the tragic news involving Broadcast vocalist Trish Keenan, we at The Red Room decided that recording an episode revolving around their music was pretty much inevitable, as well as a fitting tribute to such a unique and precious band. We played material that spanned their entire career, as well as several bands who have been attributed as influences on Broadcast.
In an attempt to avoid spending the whole show in a somber mood, we also spent a good deal of it waxing lyrical about our daily lives, including our (sometimes successful) rehearsals with various bands, our casual criticism of a certain West End eatery and its clients, a gig by fantastic local artist Remember Remember, a documentary by Errol Morris, and a certain mentalist who has been keeping us entertained for the past week.
In living memory of Trish Keenan.

rpz & thunder disco club's "workout!"
FRIDAY 11th Feb 2011
RPZ & Thunder Disco Club
STEREO Cafe Bar. 22-28 Renfield Lane 11-3am £5
On Friday 11th February 2011 RPZ & Thunder Disco Club join forces to present WORKOUT! at Stereo Cafe Bar on Renfield Lane.
"First comes the warm-up, then comes the cardio-vascular section. This will last 15-20 mins, and will be un-interupted and steady. This aerobic phase exercises the most important muscle in the body - the HEART!" Jamie Lee Curtis "Perfect" (1985)
Club running mates for a number of years, the RPZ and TDC crews have been planing to team up on a club night for some time. Yet although they share a great many influences both musically and culturally, it wasn't clear what would be the best concept for a joint venture. With a dual history of running events based on high-end electro, italo and all manner of neon-satured 1980's video images, the choice for inspiration for their first event of 2011 was a difficult one. Ultimately, it was their shared passion for a certain day-glo, spandex clad moment in american 80's culture that proved the wining combination!
WORKOUT! is a night themed around the culture of wild 80's exersize and workout videos. While the djs from RPZ and TDC lay down some aerobic electronic rhythms to get everyone loosened up and ready for the main session (their very best selections of hi-tech disco, italomatic euro beats and cybernetic funk), visuals maestro Joe Crogan will be energising the whole room with ridiculously rare footage from mind-boggling 1980's workout videos. WORKOUT promises to be exactly what your dream of a sweaty, day-glo 80's mega gym would be - full of beautiful women and handsome, men all dancing together in a blur of smiles, tans, towels and tight jeans!
Stomachs in, buttocks tight, feel the burn ... its time to ITALOCISE!

screw it, i'm off to america...
Pop Goes The Revolution // 14.01.11
The Christmas Holidays saw George trapped up with the flu, and in his fever induced mind actually became lost in the search for music. After months of visiting blogs, myspace pages, websites, soundclouds and the odd bandcamp, he eventually came to a shocking conclusion - America's totally where it's at right now.
So expect a fair number of US Unsigned acts as we take you from Alabama, to Los Angeles, to Austin.
Also, there is a special treat as Nikki is away, so Caroline steps up to the mic and guests along side George. So for those of you who always wanted to know if she was real or just a figment of George and Nikki's imagination, here's your proof.

advertise-men
Music can both help and take away from the effectiveness of a TV advert. Many songs have made adverts famous, and other songs have been made famous by advertisements.
Guinness' use of Leftfield - Phat Planet, for example, in the famous Surfer advert made the song one of the most iconic pieces of music of 1999.
Tonight we play a variety of songs that have featured in a collection of recognisable, and maybe some less well known adverts over the past 20 years.

the essential skweeelection
This episode from Wavy Graves features two slow compact funk mixes from two producers who create very different variants of the skweee sound. Showing off the more traditional forms of the Scandinavian funk is Ben Butler and Mousepad with a ten track skweee primer that "tries to cover all bases of skweee, from the awkward, funky, dissonant, soulful, icy, dumb". He followed Frans Carlqvist (Pavan, Limonious, head of Flogsta Danshall)'s original tenets of Skweee and kept everything to 105bpm. With a mix of recent US and unknown releases is one of skweee's kingpins: Mesak.
Also featured in this episode is an interview with UK imprint Donky Pitch who via their label and club nights support and promote some of the purveyors of the crooked synthline, dutty hiphop UK sound of Ghost Mutt and Slugabed.
// Ben Butler and Mousepad (LOAF)
Joe Howe (aka Ben Butler & Mousepad) left Glasgow for Berlin to collaborate on the Joemus project with "electronic vaudevillian" Momus, before that he was recording and performing with one of the best twisted pop duo OF ALL TIME: Gay Against You. Since then he has taken on a number of projects including a series of recordings at WORM studios in Amsterdam and most recently a sound piece to accompany an opera about synth pioneer Wendy Carlos. His performances have licks of improvisation, sometimes accompanied by a live drummer, welding the keytar for extended solos, or just some tight synthetic funk jams. A prolific artist, working on a number of synth centric projects, including his own brand of thick rocking skweee available on LOAF Recordings, his Souncloud, his Bandcamp and a split 7" with Sprutbass on Dødpop .
//Donky Pitch
The Brighton imprint have been some of the first in the UK to put on Coco Bryce, Randy Barracuda, Mweslee, Slugabed...they've even pressed a split 7" with Slugabed and Ghostmutt (whos love for Keith Sweat can be heard again on his latest mixtape Jam Your Boner). They talk about upcoming Donky Pitch releases, their seminal skweee record and losing their skweeeginerty
// Mesak (Harmönia)
The CEO of Harmonia, one of the originators of the so-called skweee sound and one of the chillest guys you'll ever meet. He's proven to be one of the most versatile "skweee" producers with deeper techno cuts on Klakson, putting out a collection of Pavan's recordings from 2003-2006 and some sweet live MPC performances.This is an exclusive set of strictly 7"s.

The artists on offer include the reformation of the legendary Tom Jones, Travis frontman Fran Healy, Idlewild frontman Roddy Woomble, The Walkmen, Seth Lakeman and many more. This episode is the only one that I will assert the claim of being unmissable, it's all about the music and nothing else. This is the template for the rest of the year.

a pretentious return
Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites // 17.01.11
You may have noticed the lack of shows towards the end of last year. This was due to a butt load of work I had to do for my PhD and a whole bunch of non-work related stuff. I've finally got some free time and so Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites returns, once again.
As one of my favourite things is being pretentious, I though I'd dedicate an entire show to the theme. So tonight's episode will feature as many overly intricate and extravagant tracks as possible. To help make the show even more self indulgent I'll also be accompanied by some of my mates who used to present the show with me.

It’s a tropical punk party, and we’re got Lilt, Kid Creole and Seoule Music to prove it. If that wasn’t enough, Anna produces Deadbeat club’s first ever live on air chocolate voice, and a professional musician comes into the student to do a session. Yeah, you heard us.
Isobel Burton played lead with the Redlands Primary School steel band, which formed in 1999. After taking local fetes, assemblies and audiences of old people in the greater Reading area by storm for nearly two years, the group finally split in early 2001 due to irrevocable differences.

Ross, Jordan and Emma get together for a pretty unstructured first official show back - it's really just some friends getting together and spinning some of our favourite songs by a musician we respect and miss.

back to life, back to reality.
So the holiday season is completely done and dusted. Now its time for Bangers & Mashup to get back into the nitty gritty.
Over the next three weeks, we'll be focusing our guest slot on new club night, Co-op, a night that brings together three institutions of Glasgows underground club scene: Dirty Noise, Orderly Disorder & Mount Heart Attack. The plan is to catch up with each of them over the next three weeks, starting tonight with Mount Heart Attack's Ryan (Lono) & Liam (Lebowski) on the old wheels of steel for a back to back.
I've also put together a small mini doc for each, giving you an insight on the guys, their nights, and how co-op came about along with a feel for what you can expect down there.
This week, we're opting for a quick look back at 2010 for Year Of The Week, throwing in what tracks stand out for us & what's kept us dancing through til 2011.
Unfortunately we are without Rosa tonight, but she'll be back next week, don't worry, she has been greatly missed, and we'll get back to the usual 'Year Of The Week' bust ups next week!

mesak (harmönia)
// Mesak (Harmönia)
Whats your name? Who are you?
Mesak. "CEO" of Harmönia record label...
How would you describe what skweee is, or what it could be?
Retard electro funk from the north
Who or what is proto-skweee?
i think this is why the scene is so vivid and heterogenic; everyone has his/hers own roots for inspiration and vision for "proto skweee". i've heard so many different versions of how the music sounds and what are the origins etc... but at the same time there is some things that define skweee more than others. i'd say that Randy Barracuda and Daniel Savio, the biggest crate diggers in the scene, have defined so called proto skweee most. hopefully they give more precice answer.
Do you love skweee? If so why, if not why not?
I love skweee, it made me meet many great ppl who i would have not otherwise met.
Where, when, or who was there when you first heard/performed skweee?
First i found weird Swedish releases in Snickars Records in Stockholm, among them was a Påve (later Pavan) 10"... couple of years later i saw the man playing in Bergen's Ekko Festival 2004. That's when i lost my skweeerginity.
Which skwee label/artists do you favour? What differences do you perceive between the labels/artists?
All new labels and artists are welcome. we're always looking for new inspirational musicians to harmönia roster and new labels are considered friends, for sure.
Why is the 7” king? Is the 7” king?
Nice size, cheap postages... and it doesn't fit "extra" shit in it, only the essential tunes! practical in these digi-releases-overflow times..
What was the first bit of technology that inspired you? What was the last bit of technology to inspire you?
Oh, it goes way back! but some very very first "music" i made with a turntable and an open reel tape recorder which functioned as 4-tracker.. making tape loops etc... that was like -91 or so.
What are you doing today?

Our first show of 2011 was an absolute delight. The usual mishaps with volumes and the occasional cheeky song playing over another...but I imagine you've grown to expect such things from us. Our next few shows are (somewhat) planned out, so expect some very very good guests and some interesting announcements from team Foreign Thoughts. x

Since it’s the beginning of a new year, and everyone is trying to re-invigorate, rejuvenate, and incarnate themselves into a wholly new physical being to deal with the turmoil of the fressshh new month’s ahead, today’s show is all about sustenance and equipping myself, and all you lot for a year of disbelief, obliteration, annihilation, and to the other end of the spectrum being at ease with the environment and ~~spacious flows~~ around us.

So to get rid of all of those toxic fumes you inhaled from the year before and all of that nasty bacteria thats trying to invade our bodies, this particular show doesn’t focus on anything specific, instead Fergus has popped into the studio to grace us with a nice wee miniature mix which focuses on a lot of Deep house, bass bin, glitch step, mad beats that he’s been listening to recently to get us all shakin’ and dancin’ or just casually boppin’ into the next millenium and beyond.
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
I’m also going to play something a little bit out of the norm and share other musical tastes that I’m into cuz it’s always good to do things a little bit differently every now and then to moisten that squidgy, big organ of soft nervous tissue contained within our skulls. SO I’m going to play some ear bleeding, skull crushing, death defying, warrior chanting ``thrash``heavy`` metal and some anxious, android, schizophrenic hip hop from Sensational and a little bit of swagga from that Purple Ribbon All-Stars track about Superman’s most fatalistic___deadly weakness, a glowing green, crystalized rock from the outwardly galactic planet Krypton, called Kryptonite.

merry new year...
So we're back on Subcity for 2011, feeling fresh and extremely excited about the New Year! So much amazing music to play you over the coming weeks and I'm pleased to say that a lot of it is local heat...Glasgow producers are really coming in strong this year!
This week we featured local music from Mia Dora, Barrientos, Slow It Down, Dersonna & Quahaze - all sounding utterly exceptional. Not to mention this week's Local Hero, Simon Bryan with his track 'Intersect'. We also put forward some of our predictions for the biggest up and comers of 2011 with Broke One, Canblaster, Jamie XX & Julio Bashmore. Quahaze provided our Tea Time Rave Off with an exceptional funk-tastic mix and this week's Blog Burner came from The Magician with his mix on Lykke Li's new single 'I Follow Rivers'.

sprutbass (dødpop)
Skweee labels have been slowly emerging around the globe since 2007, last year American imprint Poisonous Gases started pressing in Portland, making that 3 Skweee labels based in the USA. In the UK, Donky Pitch have just put out their first release, a split between Slugabed and Ghost Mutt, who are both based in Brighton.
It all started in the Nordics with labels Flogsta Danshall and Harmonia releasing some of the first Skweee records. Flogsta Danshall takes its name from a community hall in the small town of Flogsta in Sweeden. Pavan who started the label says that the last time he went to the single floor Danshall, he saw “a guy stood on a table trying to knock himself out with a whiskey bottle...we never held parties in there, but its kind of a fantasy that people going there and going crazy to this kind of music. Its kind of its true home.”
Although the sound is almost sophisticated, or slick, its the kind of Danshall stupidity thats at the heart of Skweee, it isn’t ponderous muisc it wants to create the biggest impact with the smallest amount of effort.
//Sprutbass (dødpop)
Whats your name? Who are you?
Eivind Henjum, Sprutbass.
How would you describe what skweee is, or what it could be?
To meeee skweeee is more a way of attitude towards music and the process of making it, rather than certain sounds, rythms and different musical parameters. Skweeee is a positive, unpretentious way of thinking that goes to the core of what i think the real essence of music should be. Without all the nonsense and unmusical bullshit that often goes toghether with modern, popular music.
Who or what is proto-skweee?
Hmm....those genres.....Not shure here....maybe....my all time favourite germans Kraftwerk, old videogamessoundtracks like Atari or Nintendo, some old hip-hop and early works of some of the Darmstadt- composers like Stockhausen, early electronic music.
Proto means first, so i guess proto-skweee also can be a mark on the early skweee like the oldest Flogsta and Harmönia stuff by Pavan, Joxaren or early stuff by Mesak and Randy Barracuda. Really minimalistic soundscape and sort of naive melodies, and "cheap" sounds, although they are really complex works and true masterpieces.
Do you love skweee? If so why, if not why not?
I really LOVE some skweee artist, and some i dont like, or understand, to put it diplomatic. Im not a fan of all skweee. If it lacks a certain vibe and melodic structure and progression, i get bored. But i try not to think to much if somethings is "skweee" or not. I dont see the point of doing so, its limiting.
I love the skweee- way of thinking (see quest. 1), its a great way for me to work. Its a "play first, think later" -mentality that i find really healthy and inspiring. The "do it yourself" way of thinking really opened up for me, as i always played in bands or different groups making compromises all the time. I love collaboroating, but the skweee- scene made me do it all by myself. I dont think i would have started the Sprutbass- project if it was for the skweee scene Beatbully and Melkeveien introdused me to. So yes, i love skweee.
Where is it all going? It seems like fewer skweee records are being made at the moment, or am I just being dumb?
Hmm. It lives its own life now i guess, but i know Dødpop got a busy year ahead with many releases coming up, myself, Beatbully and Daniel Savio + + all with full length albums. And Chelis and the guys in Zaragoza got something coming too, soon i hope. And Harmönia, since im about to send them some new material...
I play alot live these days, and people seem to take interest in the "unfamiliar" typical skweee sounds. Especially people who usually dont listen to electronic music or are especially dedicated towards it. I often hear people say to me after the show: "I did not know i enjoyed this kind of music..." So, maybe skweee can be a eye-opener to more people; that electronic music and a laptop on stage dont have to be hard-trance, techhouse or a dj just spinning mp3s. Or to put it in a different way: its ok to take a beer and just listen or nod your head and whatever u feel like..its just music.
Where, when, or who was there when you first heard/performed skweee?
The first time i heard of skweee was back in 2008 when my dear friend Bård Beatbully asked me to join his liveset for the now legendary Norrköping skweee summit. I brought my old Korg Ms20 and Bård used a mac, and a old beaten Mikrokorg and off we went. Lots of impro on his songs, wich probably was the first skweee i ever heard. It worked quite nice: Only one laptop got stolen, and there was (maybe...) two or three others in the audience who didnt play, besides the 12 or so of us who did play. Thats the skweee-curse.
But we had a great time, meeting up with the Flogsta and Harmönia- guys, even my man, the legendary Thomas Wankers United came all the way from Paris playing. I think we all immediatly hit of with eachother, same crappy humor and a great hunger for beer, old synths and grandmas slippers. It was my first meeting with the both skweee and the scene, if u could call it that in 2008. Anyhow, it was a blast, and all of a sudden i released my first 7" along with Bård on dødpop some months later (hjemmebrentfunk/ulykke 7" -dødpop 02)
Which skwee label/artists do you favour? What differences do you percieve between the labels/artists?
All of them! Who i listen to varies from day to day.
I love the differnces and variations internally on all the releases. Anyone could hear the difference between my stuff and..lets say Pavan or Mesak, or Beatbully. I dont bother thinking of the difference between the labels, its som much variation internally anyway. And all the artists releases their stuff on all the different labels and we all play togheter. So..to me its kind of a blurry border between the different labels
In the big picture, the difference between the labels is mostly geographical.
Why is the 7” king? Is the 7” king?
Its cheap, small and without broadband. For me, its about giving the music the focus it deserves. You dont get the same ears with Spotify or digital releases. Guess im old school.
What was the first bit of technology that inspired you? What was the last bit of technology to inspire you?
First and last: My Korg Ms20. Its the main instrument for all my work, along with the Roland 707 drum- machine i got/still borrows/haventpaidforyet, from Bård and a Microkorg. I concider myself "technicially disabeled" , so not much softsynths or fancystuff.
What are you doing today?
Watching all the Harry Potter movies in a old monastery in the norwegian countryside. Saving up energy for all the hardcore skweee shows in 2011.

in the new year
This week: the first show of 2011 brings an appropriate greeting from The Walkmen (playing the Oran Mor this Wednesday, incidentally); a catch-up of assorted albums missed from last year, based on other folks' year-end best-ofs; Orange Juice's seminal but long out of print debut record You Can't Hide Your Love Forever, finally available again thanks to Domino's wonderful new complete discography boxset Coals To Newcastle, in #1 Records; and a new feature to boot. Yes.

a plague upon ye'!!!
It's the first Worst Chips Ever of the new year. Back to the fucking grind. We're all in this together! THE BIG SOCIETY, aye? Bollocks. I'm on JSA and I've been chained to a bloody toilet all day vomiting out whats left of my dignity. It's just the flu. Not that I've been to a doctor. I'm a Northern MAN, dammit. I dont have need for such quackery. Probably just read you some guff out of a book and fill you full of them antibiotics what mean you cant go down the pub. No ta. I'll see this one out with the spirit of my forefathers...and while I cant necessarily compare the sacrifice of two generations of British war dead to a tit with the flu, I reckon my struggle is, in its own way, just as trying.
Anyway, not in the studio in person tonight, but the show goes out live none the less thanks to the combined efforts of The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart and Earthly Matters, who have ensured I dont miss yet another show by sorting stuff out studio-side. Big up.
Due to me only being able to look at a computer screen for around five minutes at a time before everything goes all Anime and my brain falls through my nose, tonights show is a re-run of a mixtape I made for the short lived blog that Worst Chips Ever arose from. I only did a handful of these mixtapes but this was by far the most well received. It focuses on vocal manipulations, acapella, improvised sound poetry and non musical field recordings. Lots of garbled vowells and militant toasting, street corner proto hip hop enunciations, invocations of a parallel mystical Albion and much more. Anne Briggs, Henri Chopin, Blood Stereo, traditional vocal workouts from Burundi, sacred harp singing, gospel choirs, work songs and field hollers.
Enjoy!

ice cream
"i don't talk, i don't laugh. i just frown"
Flame, Waka Flocka (1017)
this week? mostly assembly line goon isht 3 colossal bangers from the new Gunplay mixtape featuring Rick Ross...coincidentally the first 3 tracks, the rest is trash Bust Your Heart = the new Hard in Da Paint speaking of... a few semi recent semi classic Flocka jams a bunch of Juicy J/Project Pat...J's Rubba Band Business mixtape produced by Lex Luger is sporadically brilliant plus some Wiz/OJ/Gucci/Jackie Chain/Uncle Murda/Ra Diggs
next on the agenda: ep8 - miami bass/electro/hyphy e9 - alabama mix #1
btw that ice cream cone Gucci Mane recently got on his face is, well, erm... nuts. Reminds me of that 30 Rock episode. You know the one?
observation: Khalifa's Black & Yellow is apparently a massive hit. Why? Sounds like a passable mixtape number to me.

show 9: we've been let out again
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 13.01.11
Well, it's been bloody ages hasn't it? Santa brought us those blood tests we asked for since Dad starting giving it the "you're not my sons!" shite again when we got home for the holidays, and they've proved that we are indeed Patrick Stewart's Sons. You'll also be pleased to know that we continue to be awkward in every situation,in every possible way.
To ease you back into our schedule we've decided to be very original and do a "BEST OF 2010!!!!" show. I got Kanye West's album for Christmas so expect plenty of that, and I hear that Chris can't stop spinning "Wide Awake" by Joe McElderry... IT PROMISES TO BE GOOD.

Whose Responsible This? // 13.01.11
DUH HUR WHAT? Whose Responsible This? is returning tomorrow for part two of this broadcast year's run of programming. Expect much conversation, music and less restraint since my tolerance for anything anyone does anymore is shitting itself into a slow ultra-vegetative coma. Things I hate this week: Hustler making Simpsons porn, weather toothpaste, Phoenix Jones: Fat Fuck and why you'd waste investments in an anti-pirate laser when a gun probably will do just as good.
You probably like sports too. You're fat.

welcome to 2011
In our first show of 2011, we were in a tremendous mood, having just attended a gig by a wonderful local band, and having consumed a considerable amount of fermented vegetable drinks!
In this show, we discussed Xmas presents, Hogmanay, and the ease of attaining nookie in a certain local venue. We also discussed our upcoming gigs and experimental film nights, the merits of looking sharp in front of adults, and Jenny's encounter with some hypocritical toffs in a restaurant.
In addition to all this, we also discussed the films of Billy Wilder, David Lynch, Martin Scorsese, Ingmar Bergman, Alfred Hitchcock and more! Enjoy.

allen ginsberg and the zone of ablation
Rob's away in Goa this week so Steve had full rein of the show. And what a show it is! Allen Ginsberg battles Crystal Fighters, Matt Cardle battles Biffy Clyro, and Steve asks a particularly pertinent question given Rob's absence, "who's gonna sit on your face when I'm gone?"
In other news, we returned to Toad's Caravan for a report on The Zone of Ablation, an exhibition bringing together illustration, animation, street art and a remarkable approach to curation.
Finally, in the run up to The Belief Project, Flatrate's new production for the Tron, we also asked our interviewees what drives them, and whether they believed in what they were doing. Listen on to find out!
Next week Rob Drummond make an appearance to talk about WRESTLING, his bad-ass new show for The Arches. We'll also have Craig Porter talking about Raindog's new production for the Tron The Ushers, and Mark Buckland from Cargo Publishing who'll be discussing the launch of their new e-book service.

wankers united (disques mazout))
Randy Barracuda says “its an attitude”, Mesak calls it “retard electro funk”, Sprutbass says its “positive, unpretentious” and wiki just pinned it in a paragraph.
This is not London centric, po-faced or steely electronic music, its awkward, homemade and ramshackle. The sound palette has as much in common with Megadrive game soundtracks like Streets of Rage or Road Rash than DMX Krew’s synth geekery. Each record is so different, from the galactic low end perversion of Slugabed or Shlohmo, to the 8 bit g-funk of Pavan or Box Kite.
Skweee has the ability to confound, as Randy Barracuda says “its slow but complex”, subverting whats considered club music and spilling all its synthline juices onto its favoured format...the 7”. It has a totally community feeling to it and the artists really egg each other on, the releases are small and there isn’t loads of money wasted on press.
I sent a series of questions to skweee labels and artists. This is the first in a series of interview sthat take the form of both text and audio. The audio interviews will be part of an upcoming show with exclusive mixes and musics from Wavy Graves and Ben Butler & Mousepad.
//Wankers United ( Flogsta Danshall, Harmönia, Disques Mazout)
Whats your name? Who are you?
My name is Wankers United and I'm an arrogant french guy responsible for a few tunes on the funkin' fresh skweee labels Flogsta Danshall and Harmönia. I also founded Disques Mazout with the help of my brother Poborsk. We released a few 7”s by Cuverville, Poborsk, Daniel Savio, and soon V.C. We both run this Cuverville project aswell.
How would you describe what skweee is, or what it could be?
Skweee is a monster! It is the Scandinavian Synthetic Funk, or conflict RNB, or Kebab Krunk or whatever... It is mostly made out of synths and usually is slow on the tempo. It is the perfect blend between the good and the bad. Though it's good not to try to describe it too much because it can lead to integrism which is not so good. Grand Wizard Randy Barracuda said «Skweee is an attitude »
Who or what is proto-skweee?
Skweee from the past. Here is an awesome mixup by Frans Carlqvist aka Limonious aka Pavan himself! http://s3.amazonaws.com/luckymedia/_MIXTAPES/39.mp3
Do you love skweee? If so why, if not why not?
Hell yeah i love skweee. I do because it helps me not being too ashamed of making tunes.
Where is it all going? It seems like fewer skweee records are being made at the moment, or am I just being dumb?
Yea i think you're dumb. Lately there were american labels (Poisonous Gases, Losonofono, and soon Digital Vomit) pooping out 7 inches and LP vinyls! I highly recommend Daniel Savio's Nekropolis LP on Losonofono.
Where, when, or who was there when you first heard/performed skweee?
That was a few years ago. I was following Mesak on Klakson, and i really loved « Back to the Future ». Which led me to Skandinavian Skweee Vol.1 & 2 and to Museum of Future Sound vol.1. And it blew my mind. Then there was this Pixelache festival (a finnish festival i think) in Paris and Mesak & Spartan Lover were invited. That was a great show! Then, as they were in Paris, the 3 of us played at the Batofar's cantine a very very tiny place. And that was fun!
Which skwee label/artists do you favour? What differences do you percieve between the labels/artists?
Flogsta Danshall & Harmönia of course! Favourite artists??? Mesak and Limonious and Savio and Joxaren and Mrs Qeada and Randy Barracuda and Claws Cousteau and Poborsk and V.C. and Sprutbass and...and...and....and.... They're all so goooooood!
Why is the 7” king? Is the 7” king?
The best thing in 7”s is that there's always a B side.
What was the first bit of technology that inspired you? What was the last bit of technology to inspire you?
The very first piece of gear I had the chance to put my hands on was a Roland dr550. It was not mine, but I was the one who programmed it :D That was in the early 90's. Then I bought a Korg Ms10 at the fleamarket for about 20€ (yes), there were feathers and chicken shit on it. A friend of mine opened it and cleaned it for me and I still own it :D
What are you doing today?
The flat needs some cleaning... Having sex would be fantastic!

certified merkers 2011
So the festive holidays are over and everyones back to work. But while everyone has been away iv been getting on it gathering a hard selection of grime to play on the first show of 2011.
In the bag this week I'v got a bunch of brand new vocals from the likes of Rival, Marger, Kwam, Wiley and Maxsta. I will also be playing the recent Trim & Bloodline war dubs along with a fine selection of new instrumentals from producers such as Darq E Freaker, Spooky, J Beats, SX, Zdot, Royal T and some unreleased bangers from the Butterz & Oil Gang labels.
This is the show to kick start your new year with a hyped up injection of real grime music!

For The Pop Cop's third monthly show on Subcity, singer-songwriter Roddy Hart came in to perform live on air and tell myself and Big D what it was like to play in front of the Queen, Ruud Gullit and bring in the Bells to 1.2million viewers live on BBC Scotland's Hogmanay show. There was also a disproportionate amount of chat about Jackie Bird.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 06.01.11
It's our first show of the new year, so the whole Source Tags team (well, Ross, Jordan and Emma) got together for a special two-hour episode to reflect on 2010 in music, playing songs from our favourite albums of last year. Also, we spin a few tracks from underrated/underexposed 2010 albums. In the final portion of the show we look ahead to what the year has/might have in store. A couple of songs from upcoming records are played, giving you an early preview of some promising new music. Enjoy.

masha was beaming // 2010
This is the final show of the year and so I thought I would just put out a simple show. Something that I really enjoy doing.
Kept things simple with some new tunes and some old tunes. Some slow and some quick.
Hope you enjoy it,
Masha

7vwwvw
Halloween at the Art School: the perfect setting for a band like 7VWWVW (MAMMAL backwards and upside down, obviously). Their sparse and robotic sounds, supplemented with eerie melodies, set the perfect post-apocalyptic soundtrack for the Dimension B Party.
Whether or not you joined the mutant mob at Art School, this is worth checking out. If this mix wets your appetite, the Edinburgh 5 piece have released material which is available to buy on vinyl or download through Crystal Wish Records.

silk cut
In October with Halloween looming and much of Glasgow becoming lost under the descending fog of cobwebs, pumpkins, witch hats and devil horns which was thickly clouding the streets, Subcity were successfully managing to avoid choking on all this by keeping busy. Not only by investigating the fractured alternate world of Dimension B (it’s a tough life) but also hosting a party for all its freaks, unknown beings, and costumed oddities who gathered together in the safe if strange haven of the Art School.
Silk Cut’s set provided sparse but upbeat sounds to keep the mutants moving, pulsing minimal techno out into the mist. A fittingly strange and interesting bunch, they are pretty much untraceable, even on The Internet, which has never ever failed anyone in anything before. They’re definitely the Lord Lucan of the Glasgow music scene, except without the whole killing someone thing. Probably. You’ve got to be in the right place at the right time to catch a listen, so keep an eye out for club listings around Glasgow, or check this recording out and shuffle your mangled mutant limbs about accordingly.

In this 2 hour special, we're gona ease Curtis in to the new world with early garage, before being a champion sound with more recent sounds. Bless Riddims is here to please, provide and mash up di place, keep it locked famlam!

snug as a bug
'Look.' He pulled back the curtains from the window so that Peter could see the bright moon shining on a world of deep snow. 'You see, it's stopped snowing; it's a lovely night now.'
'I know your lovely nights,' Peter said; 'freezing like billy-o, and about a foot of snow to slodge through.'
'It's jolly fine being out in the snow at night,' Kay said. 'You see foxes, white owls and tawny owls.'
'I never heard such rot,' Peter said. 'Do blow the light out and let a chap get to sleep.'
John Masefield
Rosie fends for herself once again in our show on the theme of Sleep. There's a soothing lullaby, a horror-film soundtrack and a spoken word night-time tale set to a jazz score. This week, Tropic Of Clyde sees our heroes lulled further into a strange and snowy world in which they can't quite trust their senses.
For pictures, videos and other soporific curiosities, do look at our blog. You can also join us on Facebook. Send us your ideas for our next show, which is on the theme of Wilderness.

christmas- the simple way
You may have noticed, that its Christmas time! We've been enjoying the presents, merryness and general overindulgence that the festive period brings, so we thought it would be a good idea to share our stories with you!
We'll also be playing some of the best Christmas songs around, no Wham, no Cliff Richard & no Bloke from the Xfactor doing a bad cover version- we're talking Belle & Sebastian, The Ramones and of course The Pogues!
Join us for cracking tunes, Christmas trivia and cracker jokes. (see what I did there!)

all vinyl festive special!
Yes its that time again, final show of the year. However instead of some weird remixes of festive crooners or the standard countdowns, Ive just decided to bring along a bunch of records that were big in my box this year. A bunch of them are from this year (Gold Panda, Flying Lotus, Joy Orbison, Ramadanman, Balam Acab, Quest;) but there are still some stellar cuts that are still doing it for me that made it into the set.
All vinyl, live in the studio......Merry Christmas everyone!

welcome home, pepe.
Our Norse friend, Nae-Fun 'Pepe' Clydesdale, has returned from abroad to grace Subcity's airwaves with some of the songs he's listened to and foun over his past few months' travel.
This two and a half hour special is complimented by a selection of tracks that have had significance to me in 2010. We are joined, albeit quietly, by henchmen Jamie and Rabenga Dunn, renowned Tarantism groupies.
Happy 2011.

14: christmas special
We've got a good episode lined up for tonight. Not only have we got a lot to talk about, we'll be playing some great tunes to coincide. We'll be discussing how Murdo ruined the Lads Annual last week and how our respective Christmas dinners went: Tanner's turkey, Cheesy's chicken, The Big Cunt's cock and Murdo's... mute swan. There will also be some topical chat, certainly including Tommy's trial.
Oh aye, big news: Cheesy has finally made it into the big league of the Glasgow club scene. He'll be DJ'ing in Classrooms tonight. And Disco Disco will be in attendance to make sure he doesn't top himself half-way through the gig. So come down the the studio if you're going out and we'll have our own wee Christmas party.
We're on 9-10pm tonight so get tuned in for it.

patrick stewart's blood and spunk
Patrick Stewart’s Blood and Spunk - sonically speaking, just a slight misnomer...gross.
Comprising of Splashy the Blame Shifter and Small Scale Collisions, this recording of Blood and Spunk,(what? That’s an acceptable nickname)comes from a Cry Parrot/Subcity collaborative show put on at Nice n Sleazy which saw the combo mash together guitars, feedback, laptops and a shit load of noise. It was loud, punishingly loud. After the show someone said "that was had the most intense use of high end I've ever heard".
Splashy the Blame Shifter is one of the various pseudonyms of Subcity veteran Chris Storey who has made a couple of rare appearances at the station’s noisier events now, starting with our second Soundclash back in March.
Small Scale Collisions (no strangers to the station's output either) are themselve a collaborative effort; producing visuals and original compositions of haunting, drone-y* music.

If you haven't heard the news already, we're throwing an all day session in Bar Petite a few days after New Year. There's gonna be bangin' beats, some free munch, free shots and general mischief all day long.
This show's all about the meet and greet, getting the troops together for a wee mix and some banter before it all kicks off!
We'll also be giving away some free tickets 'cause it's the festive season and all that.

xmas
Our last show of 2010 (a two-hour special, none the less!) was permeated by thoughts and reminiscences of Christmas, the past year, and not to mention, an obscene amount of Esquivel!
Jenny regaled us with epic tales of her portrayal of the Virgin Mary in playgroup, her drunken ice skating in George Square, and her immediate family's obsession with Christmas, while Thom recounted the lameness of white people at a Wu Tang Clan gig, his one (and only, so far) attempt at dancing on Hogmanay 2009, and his affections for the Snow Queen.
In addition to all of this madness, we also played some of our favourite underground Xmas music. We hope you enjoy our this very special episode, see you next year!

a shrapnel carol
Like Ebenezer Scrooge, this episode of Screen Shrapnel is haunted by the ghost of radio shows past, a one Nicholas Green Esquire. With the golden triumvirate of Fulton, Dunn and Green reunited for one week only we did what we do best. Namely, we set about badmouthing filmmakers far more talented, richer and better looking than ourselves by revealing our stinkers of the year. But first off we got all sycophantic and heaped praise on the performances that moved us most in 2010.
Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed.

raksha
Raksha has had a pretty big impact on his extended Subcity family since arriving in Glasgow a couple of years ago: he’s played events, he’s not appeared on 1Xtra, he’s inspired one of Subcity’s most adventurous concepts with just a glimpse of his malleable face, and he’s even prompted spiritual epiphanies within the station management through his pseudonym alone.
This recording combines a set of Raksha's own tracks performed live at Nice N Sleazy whilst supporting Hype Williams at a Cry Parrot/Subcity collab show and an interview with the DJ/Producer where he talks about his influences (duh), his early days on Fruity Loops, and how he isn’t musical.
May induce spiritual epiphanies/unravel the very fabric of the space time continuum.

4 hour holiday special! dubstep, hip-hop, grime!
80 tunes, 4 hour, this is THE show...
The first hour or so is strictly dubstep and grime with Bungo. Expect dark shit that will make your face crack. Heavy bass style!
And if that's not enough Chungo and friends will be along at 9 to bring you the usual upful vibes and maybe some festive treats too. A very reggae Christmas!
After this we both bang out some hip-hop, then Bungo whips out some more real dubstep bangers until he can't stand at the decks anymore.
Big ups!
Chungo & Bungo

worst chips ever mega mega xmas special!!!
Ding dong merrily etc etc etc!
I AM ALIVE!!! ALIVE!!! Just. And I’m about as well adjusted as a gentleman who has recently survived a horrendous snow laden fifteen hour journey from one end of the country to another (ATP, babes) with only one half of Subcity’s very own Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart for company to be greeted upon returning to his homestead by a DEAD laptop can be.
So chums, a recent plethora of bad weather and bad luck has meant that I have been on hiatus. Apologies.
In a shameless bid to smarm my way into back onto your Xmas card list I have put together two shows recorded live (kind of) in the welcoming environs of my girlfriends flat (I cant afford heating at the minute) to tide you Chips junkies – all 4 of you - over til the new year. It’s an MP3 download type jobby due to me not wanting to anger the good folks at the Subcity I.T department by asking them to upload yet another episode. Thin ice and all that.
OVER THREE HOURS OF UNADULTERATED EAR SYRUP! AND ONLY ONE SONG ABOUT FUCKING CHRISTMAS!!! For Don Van Vliet, whose death upset me so much that I nearly burned down my kitchen in a blubby alcohol sodden mess on Saturday morning when the news came through. Also for my flatmate Kenny, who quite possibly saved all our lives by turning off the hob. This ones for you.

synth's big fat chronological review of the year..
So firstly let me apologise for missing last week's show, I did try and make it in, but after getting stuck on the M80 for two hours and finding myself sliding off the road everytime I tried to park, the whole mission just turned into a complete whitey.
However, I made a special effort to make it in to the last show of the year and what a show it was! Don't think I've ever had that much fun in the Subcity Studio (well, at least that I can talk about on here). 60's songs, two minutes a song, ten minutes a month, right through from January to December in our chronological review of the year - it was absolutely MASSIVE! 2010 was truly a great year for music and I think we've captured the best of it here.
Synth on Subcity will be back Jan 12th at the same time with more plentiful tunage and seriously reduced nonsensical chat. Have a great Xmas! x
P.S Remember our blog will still be in operation over Christmas and we still want to hear your music, so get in touch!

christmas episdode 2
Hunks, hunks hunks // 16.12.10
The second Christmas episode, where we invited all our friends and fellow hunks to come down to the studio and enjoy a good old fashioned Hunks Party. Unfortunately no one turned up, except our mate Josh of Wavy Graves fame. We expected more Hunks so we had alot of Wine and meats, so we ended up drinking a little bit too much and the show fell apart a bit.
We played some xmas games, a little karaoke and Josh played us some music.
After the end of the episode, we had the station manager come in and give us our season review, and offered us one last chance to get things right. So, we are using the xmas break to brush up on some radio techniques, and next season will be even better!
Merry Christmas everyone,
Love Hunks x

bobby wilson (equalised) guest mix...
We're not able to do the show tomorrow, but instead we have a special 2 hour guest mix from Bobby Wilson, who you may know as one of the Equalised residents. We fist came across Bobby DJing in our local The Halt a few years ago, and he was one of the first guests we had play at Men and Machines in Sept 2008. Since then he's been playing all over Glasgow, at EQ'd in the V Club, Equalised at Stereo, and with guest appearances at Sunday Circus, The Unit, and one of the New Year parties at the Carpet Factory. One of the best young DJs about, he's recently gone back to his Techno routes, so we feel you'll be in more than capable hands for your Thursday night listening pleasure...

Of note are poor-substitutes-for-masturbation South Korean iPhone apps, Japanese space disasters, the winner of the house designed to make existence hell itself in an undead world and the proof that "Rule 34" needs to be expanded to include a great many more things. It's broadcasting with sufficient amounts of new Tron music from 14:00 on subcity.org. End of line.

gus da hoodrat (banggang deejays) @ rpz
On Wednesday 22nd Dec RPZ presents Gus Da Hoodrat (Modular/Bang Gang 12"s) at Stereo Cafe Bar on Renfield Lane.
Gus Da Hoodrat is one of the founders of Australia's Bang Gang deejay team - and a genuine red-haired Scots lad! After breaking out in Australia through running a notorious series of monthly parties, the Bang Gang formed their own label in 2005 and began flexing their creative muscles with a series of release that were spun by deejays all over the world. These Australian dudes scored further international notoriety on the back of two spectacular mix CDs for Modular Recordings - LSD (Light Sound Dance) in 2007, and D is for Disco, E is for Dancing in 2008.
RPZ have a long-term fanship with the Bang Gang duo Gus Da Hoodrat and Jamie Doom, having had them as guests on three previous occasions in Scotland over the last four years, as well as hosting an insanely memorable main room at Death Disco with their fellow Banggang-er DJ Ajax (whose label Sweat It Out was behind the Yolando Be Cool mega hit "No Speak Americano").
Since their last visit in 2008 the Bang Gang guys have been pretty damn busy - Hoodrat in particular has created a trio of absolutely astounding Finger Prince podcasts while BangGang 12"s have achieved international critical acclaimed for their label with releases showcasing the fertile and ever expanding talent on the Australian dance scene - Bag Raiders, G.L.O.V.E.S., Muscles, Flight Facilities, Light Year and Cassian - all of whom are regularly played out by most Glasgow underground clubs and deejays. But not satisfied with spinning out amazing tracks as a deejay and releasing some of the most interesting new dance artists on the Bang Gang label, Hoodrat also creates some fantastic music of his own under the PRINCE FINGERS moniker. His recent self titled 12" release on Bang Gang 12's has been creating demented levels of excitement, with none other than Tiga remarking that Prince Fingers is "the sound of the future".
www.banggang.com.au
RPZ are quite honestly shaking with excitement at having this Aussie dude back in Glasgow and are looking forward to one blistering night of digital euphoria, one last chance to rattle our bones before the clubbing population sit down to a full week of xmas food and over-indulgence. The support duties as always will be ably handled by RPZ team Hushpuppy, Bonjour Boi and Joe Crogan. By now you should know to expect on the very finest selection of irresistibly danceable diskotecas, street-beat boogie, cybernetic soul, galactic disco, Rimini sound, italo stylings, Oz-matic house and delinquent tech-beats all accompanied Crogan's dazzling manipulation of video-loops and eye-popping polygonal animations.
RPZ - making laser beams, in your dreams.

heroes
For our last show before we take a well deserved break (aside from the super exciting upcoming Xmas special), we decided to focus on the subject of Heroes; the people or groups who have changed our lives, influenced us in countless ways, and given us unmeasurable amounts of happiness.
We selected a small portion of our Heroes and showcased some of their best work for this episode; and, in what is quite possibly another in the long line of firsts for The Red Room, Jenny gets to speak for a reasonable amount of time without being interrupted/silenced by Thom (most likely due to the fact that he was exceedingly ill).
Also, this show contains at least one piece of music that reduced Thom to tears, live in studio. See if you can guess which one it was...

initial itch winterval special
Like a gazillion presents around the country, the show's wrapping up, so we're getting all festive. Guests this week include Santa and Jesus who'll be in the studio silently monitoring proceedings, but if that isn't enough, we've also got Cherry Loco who's on to talk about his gig at the Classic Grand. It's called Cherry Loco's Twisted Christmas, and it's a variety night of fire-eating, glass-walking and burlesque. It's all very wrong and depraved, so have a listen as Rob gives Cherry a roasting over 'objectification in burlesque'.
But we didn't stop there. Lee Ivett also made it in for a chat about The What's New Nad/Bax 60 Hour Shop. Lee is one half of Nadfly and Baxendale, and he's on to tell the story of how he gathered together half the city's artists and convinced them that, in the spirit of Christmas, they should basically give away their work to the people of Glasgow. Music's gone festive too, with Yuletide tuneage from Sufjan Stevens, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan and John Lennon, from our own guys Daisy and the Pollen Counts (Who have put out a lovely little Christmas ditty this year for FREE!) as well as prospective Christmas No. 1 Cage Against the Machine.
Finally, Steve couldn't make it this week due to being a finalist in the Poetry UK Slam! Championships 2010 - well done Steve! So as a tribute we've included Steve's reading of arguably his finest poem 'Whimper'. Merry Winterval!

the end of 2010! + sascha rydell (fachwerk)
And so, another year is ending. we've had some great guests on the show this year and we'd like to thank them all for their quality mixes!
For the last show of 2010 we have yet another exclusive mix from Berlin based Fachwerk records up and coming stars SASCHA RYDELL. Along with label boss Mike Dehnert, Sascha has had a string of releases on vinyl & digital this year pushing the tougher Berlin sound whilst keeping his production bound with deep, mutating synths.
As if you could forget! We have electronic pioneer A GUY CALLED GERALD gracing the next Animal Farm @ The Sub Club helping us celebrate out 6th birthday! In honour of the big lad we'll be taking a trek through some of his music past & present, giving you an idea of what to expect!
We will also be running a competition for guest list slots so make sure you TUNE IN !! (dont worry the question wont be as bad as guess our combined age again....!)
Thanks to everyone who has tuned in this year, it's been a blast.
See you in 2011!!
Quail, Turtle, Lamb & Ronin

round up of 2010
Well the new year is rapidly approaching us and with this being the last show before the break I thought it would be the perfect time to review the best UK music of 2010, and what a year its been!
From well established MC's with vocodded voices signing Electro Pop on MTV to the new generation of young grime entrepreneurs hitting the raves and doing what they do best, spitting rapid flows over deadly new productions.
This weeks show is all about listening back to the good the bad and the ugly.
Bring on 2011.

things i found this year...
Source Tags and Mixtapes // 12.12.10
This week, it's the penultimate episode of Source Tags & Mixtapes before the Christmas break. Ross reflects on the music he's gotten into over the past year. There's a lot of "better late than never" moments here, plus some newer music and a couple of exceptions to this week's theme. Emma assumes co-hosting duties this time, choosing The Wrens for the "I Care Because You Don't" feature, providing yet another musical avenue for Ross to explore.

tangles
The Internet has no seasons, so don’t expect many references to the current weather or season. This is hardcore Internet music provision, so close the curtains, shut the blinds, or alternatively stare at the computer screen while your audio player of preference moves towards the end point of this recording. Perhaps if I set the scene for you, give you some visual aids, it might make you feel more at ease.
Some Subcity contributors took one of their favourite bands on a road trip to a small westerly village called Ardentinny. We set off early in a van full of instruments and recording equipment. The skies were clear and blue, it was one of those last days of summer, the temperature getting slightly cooler and the bloom of nature beginning to fade.
We recorded some tracks in the town hall and in the garden of a cottage that overlooked the loch. The village is located on the banks of Loch Long, so we set up and recorded a 13 minute performance of A Boat by Tangles on the beach. Ricky Egan, the guitarist and songwriter for Tangles, recommends Milkdrop for Winamp as your visual aid for this section of the recording because “its the trippyest".
Ricky runs a blog with Joe Howe (from Ben Butler & Mousepad) dedicated to fusion jazz, they are trying to reclaim the genre by highlighting some of its best shredders. When I interviewed Ricky, he told me he was “practicing in 6/8 time signatures a lot. I was watching a documentary about Miles Davis and he said that 6/8 is the funkiest time signature, I tried it out with my new drum machine and he was right, everything sounds great in that time signature. I really want to start a proper fusion band, so I need to practise...right now my riffs are like Robert Fripp’s but a bit slower".
Ricky learnt to play guitar in a band named after him: Teenage Ricky. They were a fun punk rock band, a lot of fun to watch and a wee bit daft. Tangles are fun, but sound totally different. Their releases to date have all been on tape, the Sweet Jams EP came out earlier this year and a release via UUU tapes is planned for 2011. Its melodic, psychedelic stuff that's quite beautiful.

no sleep feauring exclusive promo_ martin dawson
No Sleep step things up a level this week as they welcome one half of epic production duo Two Armadillos Martin Dawson on the show. Martin Dawson plays a integral role in the European deephouse scene with multiple releases across Sasses mood music, Cocoon and a pending release on 20:20 vision , its not difficult to see why this man has done so well for himself. No Sleep has received this exclusive mix due to drop on 20;20 vision in the next couple of months. Also Martin is due to play no Sleep birthday lineup on tbe 15th April so this mix gives listener's the perfect opportunity to see the man in action, for his much antipated Glasgow performance ........

9 - dancehall riddims part two!
We had a bangin' time last week putting out our Dancehall Riddims special, and didn't get to play even half the tunes we wanted to, so we thought, why not just keep on going?
Features include a load of fresh dancehall from 2010, and another EXCLUSIVE TRACK from Edinburghs own Riddim Tuffa.
This is an extension of last weeks Dancehall madness, with features including Bungo being robbed by a vending machine, and Chungo saving him from a Rubicon-less hour in the Subcity sweatbox.
Enjoy!

13: chat heavy
Right, we have a shit-load to cram into the show tonight, which means we'll have a job on our hands getting Murdo to have a go at short stories, instead of the show-hogging length his stories usually require.
First up, reaction to the live Challenge Cheesy from last week's show (which incidentally, you can still listen to at http://bit.ly/eZWw9W). Cheesy managed 4 litres of Asda's finest boost juice, and if you think during the show was hilarious, wait til you hear what happened post show.
The majority of Disco Disco went to Naive at the Arches on Friday night, which was excellent, and a rather random street party out the back of car ensued in Midland Street. We'll be discussing and analysing it all in-depth.
Another thing, or person rather, on the agenda is the burd who won the Turner Prize this year, Susan Philipsz. Cheesy has had the pleasure of working with her in the past, but he believes the credit she is given is undeserved. Find out why on tonight's episode.

succulent, over-cheesed and producer free,
This week's show kicks off with some songs to reflect the recent chilly weather, before we try to tempt fate and warm things up a bit (n.b - recent thaw almost certainly directly down to the song 'Lava' by the B-52s. That claim is Met office approved, so it must be true!!!!!satire!!!!)
Yet more feature puns are squeezed out of desert island discs (yes, that laughter cash cow is still going strong), and a sneak preview into the fascinating world of our culinary supplies leads to a dramatic ready steady cook style climax. Green pepper! Red tomato! Who wins? You decide..

subcity selection pack
This week: Chris is joined by a host of hosts from other fine Subcity programming - including Source Tags & Mixtapes, Hooray For Tuesday, Vinyl Cut, Modern Highlife and Screen Shrapnel - to talk in more detail over the year that was. Yep, getting all talk radio on yez. We'd even make it a phone-in, if the studio had a phone. There'll be chat about the year's musical high- and lowlights, both recorded and live, there'll be various trivial detours, there might even be conversational expansion into other media - it's a live conversation, so who knows. Tune in for this meeting of the minds, live at 2pm on Sunday then on Listen Again from just after 3pm.

i don't know what dub-step is
Seriously I don't. This admission makes me feel like the girl with the wonky eye and the glass of cider and blackcurrant at the school dance.
Anyhow, the driving force behind the last episode of The Black Lodge for this year of 2010 is redemption. Red Dead Redemption. (But not actually). Coming of the heels of what some in the business referred to as "The worst thing ever" two weeks ago (ie The Black Lodge Adult Swim Mac Book Pro Freezes on Air Spectacular) this edition will be powered by old fashioned cds and elbow grease.
Expect one or two tracks that were only heard on a frozen skipping loop two weeks ago in addition to the usual offerings of Tom Waits, Devo and others!
TIGER UPPERCUT!

pop tunes!!
Okay, so in the second last show of the year, She Said promises to bring you a splendid mix of loveliness and noisiness. With Derek temporarily out of action Allan wass joined by (ahem) goth legend Josh from Glasgow's finest psychedelic warlords The Cosmic Dead.
Expect the unexpected in all its glory.

a return to friday street
I promised we would have another go at playing an hour of Non stop sixties grooves from Friday Street with Mikey Collins, Paul Molloy and myself selecting the tunes.
This is the stuff that was played between midnight and two am so it is get the dance floor busy with a bit of an up for it crowd. Watch out for the Motown requests and of course the Friday street perennial request "No drinks on the Dancefloor". Can you tell which record was bumped as someone did place their drink on the table beside the speakers.
As you will see between the three of us we played some classics, some obscure sounds and kept it mostly up tempo.Friday Street is on the last Friday of the month at Blackfriars in Bell Street.

g.l.i.s.c.o on the internet waves
We've begun.
The G.L.I.S.C.O radio show is a continuation of the G.L.I.S.C.O blog. We can't promise banter, banterous chat, or anything close to being banterlicious, but if you're after that, you're listening to the wrong show.
Similarly, we can't promise that we'll bring you an eclectic range of music. We won't.
Instead you'll get a decent whack of the latest electro, house and disco (Rosie) and a hefty hit of all things a bit wonkier/darker (Josh), along with some excellent interviews from local and bigger name acts.
Posted at 18:26, 10th December 2010

On this weeks show I've got an exclusive dubplate from Morphy forthcoming on Cylon Recordings, a variety of new D&B releases from the likes of Spectrasoul, ASC, Data, Rockwell and Zero T plus a few old jungle classics thrown in for good measure...

we had point to c in the mix last night
Last night, we were fortunate enough to be joined by none other than Edzell's finest, Point To C. He came in for a wee mix on the turntables and he even did a shout out. He played some belters! You should check it out. Sally and Andrew also played some stuff from Big Dada Sound, Floating Points Ensemble, Touchy Subject, James Blake and a whole host of others.

Live From Las Vegas // 08.12.10
After the Cold War, the AK-47 became Russia's biggest export. After that came vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists.
Nine out of ten war victims today are killed with assault rifles and small arms. The nuclear weapons sit in their silos. AK-47, that's the real weapon of mass destruction.
Bullets change governments far surer than votes.

words per minute and the forest cafe
Kirstin Innes is in the studio this week to talk about Words Per Minute, formerly of Creation Studios, but which has moved to the Arches and will have its first night there on Sunday! It's a night of spoken word, film, music and performance, and we've managed put a wee taster together for you, including writing from Kirsty Logan and music from Ryan Van Winkle, Adam Stafford (of Y'all Is Fantasy Island) and Miaoux Miaoux.
You can hear more from them on the night, and you can also hear more by buying the album Ultrachip vs. Forest Closure, which has just been released to help raise funds to save The Forest Cafe. If you know Edinburgh, you'll know the Forest as the city's finest vegan haunt, as well as a place that massively supports the arts, particularly by putting on the spectacular Forest Fringe event. It's free, it pulls in some of the best people working in theatre and performance art and it'll break many a heart if it's not there next year. You can buy the CD or donate to the campaign here.
Pick of the week is Glasgow Podcart's exhibition in the Barras Courtyard Eclectic Peel, and it runs until Saturday.

together we made a mix tape
I asked listeners on the Kaleidoscope facebook page to tell me a song that without fail, no matter how grim, low, beaten, down hearted or dissertation ridden you may be, that after hearing one song normality would be restored. Having previously discussed making my own mix tape on the show, I thought it would be interesting to see what would come if we all chipped in one song to a particular theme. There was a big response to the 'Together We Can Make a Mix Tape' campaign with a broad variety of genres & eras suggested. The end product was perfect for Kaleidoscope...
Click. Listen. Enjoy!

All that and THE Jamie XX remix of Gil-Scott Heron that everyone can't stop harping on about. Not surprising....its a beast.

Support Your Local Poet // 02.12.10
Glasgow is covered in snow and no-one can leave their houses for work and uni. Somehow I managed to make the trek to the Subcity studio to bring you some cosy Scottish sounds to listen to while sipping a hot chocolate and watching the snow fall. Romantic! Either that or to calm you whilst your sipping a red bull and frantically studying for your upcoming exams... Probably the latter.
Here are some awesome links for some awesome bands:

glasgow
For our return to live broadcasting after last week's mammoth pre record, we decided it would be a great idea to pay tribute to the city of Glasgow; its bands, its venues, and its people. In this show, we played some of our favourite Glaswegian bands and artists, discussed their works, and also their live performances (or lack of!).
We also, in another first for The Red Room, debuted a fantastic track off of local Glasgow band (and dear friends), The Seventeenth Century's first EP, The Seventeenth Century (Part 1), released January 2011. Though we will no doubt return to the subject of Glasgow in a later show (as we barely scratched the surface of what makes up its music scene), we hope you enjoy the small but significant portion of music it showcases, and that it serves as a guide to both local and non-local listeners to the wonderfully creative city of Glasgow.

Animal Hospital Monthly Check-up // 13.12.10
What are you doing tonight?
We're off to repeatedly almost fall over onto icy pavements so we can stand in sub-zero temperatures outside a club, waiting to give flyers to drunk people. Such is the life of a pair of dedicated but impoverished club promoters.
As a result, we're dreaming of the warmest place in the whole of Scotland - the Subcity studio.
This month, we'll be filling your cups with the sweet melodies and mulled-wine basslines of Kompakt and Gui Boratto. As frozen water continues to dominate the outdoors, we've decided it's time to snuggle into some warm tech-house blankets, and activate Jason's "hot air" setting.
Come join us, his battery should hold out for a while.

We've got a big big big show for you this week.
Deep down Chungo & Bungo are real bashment ravers, we can't get enough of those bangin' dancehall riddims. So tonight we are taking you on a journey through digi dancehall, all the way from Sleng Teng in 1985 to the present day.
With the FIRST AIRPLAY on EXCLUSIVE TRACKS from Riddim Tuffa Sound & Tricky D with an unheard Mungo's Hi Fi remix this show really isn't to be missed!
Big ups!

This week Screen Shrapnel is brought to you by the letter M. M for Mexico......
Its all tequila dn sombrero's in the studio this week as we shun the snow that transport ourselves to the sun-kissed wonderland that has always been a thorn in America's side. First up is our take on special effects extraordinaire Gareth Edwards' debut film Monsters...a genre-bending ride through an infected Mexico that left your favourite presenters both in a bit of a spin...
We also tackle Robert Rodriguez's Mexploitation blood and guts saga Machete, as he attempts to bring back that Grindhouse vibe that QT and him brought a few years back. With all this chuck in a Leslie Nielson tribute, our Top 3 Debut films from a director and some decent beats to accompany your Saturday morning...what more could you want?!
Next week (Sat 11th Dec) we get into the festive spirit by tucking into our Turkeys of 2010 so far. Who will make the list? Let us know your thoughts on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Screen-Shrapnel/151269701561771 Also we spit and stutter our way through our take on early awards contender The King's Speech.

small scale collisions live
This weeks grand packed nasa winter special will be coming in yo faces with our usual dulcet charm + bass heavy beats. This week we are also lucky to be showcasing a rare outing of Glasgow drone merchants Small Scale Collisions. Exclusive live set only here on Subcity.
"Small Scale Collisions are a Glasgow based collaboration who make haunting, impressionistic music that is subtle yet steeped in nascent ambiguities. Re-incarnations of identifiable musical compostion in the form of the guitar or piano are melded with warm digital synthesis to produce a trail of slow shifting discarded melodies underpinned by a sense of reverb soaked grandeur… Playing live, this visceral form of composition is complimented by carefully crafted visual accompaniment designed to mimic the contours of the sounds, taking the focus away from the performer and onto the piece itself…"

show 8: a subject that scares us both (sorry)
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 09.12.10
Women. Neither of The Awkward Sons know anything about this subject except that our Dad was a hit with them. Big time. Often if they wanted it or not Mam said.
Sadly, his tremendous allure wasn't passed on and we're left with a huge gap in our understanding of the fairer sex and we've decided it's time to address this. Tune in or listen again as we crash through a series of tunes involving our favourite female performers and attempt discourse on what the hell they are all about.
**WELL, WE MISSED THIS ONE DIDN'T WE. APOLOGIES... IT'S HAPPENING THE FOLLOWING WEEK INSTEAD.**

winter
Live From Las Vegas // 01.12.10
Winter:
Snow, oh no.
Outside a blanket of weath'r dour,
a cold gush of white on the lassies pou'r,
whisping winds across heeds dift,
the yellow snow has left me mift,
snow - blow.
Ice, slip.
I lang for the han' of a girlie fair,
who'd kip mae warum in mee wretched lair,
I'd tugg her ha'r and bite her in the maws,
Just like the frost is bitin' mae baws,
icey grip.
Pouthery snaw.
Alas, alone in a winter sae cauld,
Yet a sheepy wool in my mind can mold,
This ewe and this me in naked hot toil'd,
Ock scunty, my best sheets now spoil'd,
Pedo claw.

Subcity Presents... // 07.12.10
Back in October Subcity’s best urban DJs were asked to make some new mixes for MistaJam’s university tour on Radio 1xtra. Unfortunately, MistaJam was hospitalised with repetitive strain injury in his fader finger, so they never got played. We thought these were too good to sit on, so we’ve got in Subcity’s very own MistaSam and Shauny M to rep your end, drop the beats, and TALK IN MULTIPLE EXCLAMATION MARKS!!! Featuring mixes from and interviews with:
// Diggin the 12" Fusing Polish and French hip hop with the movements of the prolific SBTRKT and the dubstep icon Benga, this 15 minutes represents the duo’s take on urban music.
// DJ NoFace Taking some heavy bassline hitters, DJ NoFACE steps from some guaranteed dance floor fillers to one of his own productions.
// Metropolis Sound Including cutting edge D&B music whilst also digging deep in the basement for some jungle classics, this mix cuts the sublimely idiosyncratic production of Instra:mental into some classic drum n bass.
// Sub-Terrain Regularly playing at Subcity parties, Sub-terrain are dedicated to combining the world of bass music, garage, UK funky, grime, dubstep and hip-hop.
// Digital Dust With a mash up of some of the summer's best UK funky and some classic grime cuts, Digital Dust finish this mix with a bassline drop off.
// Tarantism Tarantism is known for bringing the party vibe, and this eclectic mix is no exception.
Expect a show where the quality mixes speak for themselves, and the presenters speak through an echo machine. Bredrin.

s'now fair...
Apologies for the horrendous pun, and apologies for not making the show this evening.
The 'adverse weather conditions', as the press seemed to have coined it, have prevented me from doing the show in the past, and it seems that Jack Frost has triumphed again.
Not to worry, though, as in place of tonight's show, I have uploaded a recording of Tarantism playing the Sub Club last week with Bungo, of Subcity's ChungoBungo, at weekly student night, I AM.
Expect a strange mix of Tarantism's tech and Bungo's dubstep, followed by an energetic last 15 minutes of b2b pure BASS.
Enjoy!

the politically neutral edition!
This week, in the spirit of complete political neutrality, Initial Itch brings you MUSIC. Ann Marie Lochrie and cellist Dimitri enter the studio for some moving tracks, some Led Zeppelin and a cello solo.
You can also find out whether Brandon Flowers made the effort for Movember, and Steve'll fill you in on chafing dishes. And despite the commitment to political neutrality, the pick of the week is The Walkout Against Cuts.

beatlemania!
Fed up of hearing all the usual Beatles songs? Well here's a slightly different take on some of the Beatles classics as Jamie dug deep into his record collection to bring some of the most weird and wonderful Beatles covers you'll ever hear.
A must for all the fans of The Beatles out there and a great opportunity to hear your favourite fab four songs in a funky psychedelic freak-out bossa nova-esque orchestral piece sort of way!

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 05.12.10
This week, Ross and J-Ham take a break from the regular Source Tags & Mixtapes format to broadcast a show with (mostly) really long tracks. Expect relevant material from Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Wolves In The Throne Room and Wolf Parade. If you're more of a short-song kind of person, don't fear! There's a pretty short Torche track on here too. Just so you don't feel left out, like.

12: challenge cheesy - live
It's pretty much the middle of Winter, or certainly feels like it. So what better way to celebrate the freezing cold temperatures and all this snow by eating lots of ice-cream and telling you what it tastes like. You might be thinking, 'what's gonna be different about it since the last time you all gorged on Ben & Jerrys? [if you happened to listen to that episode last year]'. New flavours. And if we can't find enough Ben and Jerry's to satisfy the sweet tooth of the 4 Disco Disco lads, then we might give something else a bash instead. It'll really be a spur of the moment decision when we go to the shops.
In other news, Cheesy baked a cake today and McMurdle went to Polo lounge last night, with his burd. So we're looking forward to hearing what brought about both of these strange events.
Get tuned in at 11pm or if you'll be tucked up in your scratcher by then, then make sure you use the listen again feature in the near future.

no sleep featuring harvey mckay (soma records)
This week were very pleased to welcome Soma records heavyweight Harvey Mckay on the show. Harvey has had a big 2010 with a string of releases on soma including the release of his first artist album amongst other successful remix packages recieving heavy plays from the likes of Ritchie Hawtin, Dubfire and Adam Beyer to name but a few. Harvey also played Tea in the Park this Summer and is headlining the pressure room at NYE, with a string of new releases lined up for early 2011 the future is looking very rosy indeed....
If your not already familiar with Harvey sound, his tunes regularly destroy dancefloors across the world, however No Sleep's ethos of keeping things exceedingly deep offers Harvey an intreging opportunity to showcase a deeper side to his sound.

oi oi!
Easy all! Just thought we'd get in touch cos it's been a while... We very much enjoyed our time at the Subcity Party at Sleazys on Thursday night, Amanda played a legendary set as usual and the crowd was well and truly jumpin! Feeling a little delicate today but it was definitely worth it! Friday night sees us joining Rufftrax in the studio for a Sub Terrain versus Bangers and Mashup special, 3 till 4am! Check out Amanda banging out a set in the last half of the show, plus the usual banter us lot always bring to the table! Mmmmmmmm Bangers.....
Saturdays show will see another Subcity DJ joining us in the studio for a guest mix, the one and only Masha who has his own show Masha was Beaming and is one half of Biba Nights, who also played at the Subcity Party and totally smashed it! He'll be providing a wee cheeky mini mix in the second half of the show. We'll also be going way back to 1979 in our 'Year of the Week' feature and apparently Amanda already has a stomper lined up, so you won't wanna miss that! It's looking like it's gonna be a pretty decent weekend all round really... Why don't you come and join us?! POW POW!

it's just a series of unfortunate events...
Rosy cheeked and shivering we came back for the fourth installment of our wee show, and it went very well. We were a bit late and didn't have time for alot of songs but our magical guest Ross Leighton, of the band Fatherson (formerly Energy!) more than made up for it. Playing two of his own numbers as well as a magnificent cover of show favourite Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice, we were in awe. As well as fawning all over Ross Leighton, me and Johnny played some other Scottish treats. Iain Morrison is playing Captain's Rest on the 17th, well worth checking out. Also Broken Records are playing the Fruitmarket on the 16th on January which gives you plenty o time to listen to and no doubt fall in love with their new album. Anyway, I am off to daydream about seeing Frightened Rabbit and Admiral Fallow on Monday.
Love x

The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 03.12.10
In Michael's absence (due to a bruised arse), stand-up comic Richard Gadd once again finds himself part of another serving of The All Day Cheeky Breakfast.
We discuss if the snow is God's judgement on the homeless, why American news themes can make even the most sombre stories sound inappropriately cheery, and Callum's hidden past as a 'balloon artist' and active forum poster.
Tunes include Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, The Verve Pipe and The Dandy Warhols.
Also joining us this week is director John May, who's play, La Ronde, is on this weekend. Well worth a listen just to see how well he handles the infamous '10 Questions'. We also make him bark and miaow.
Alas, it was not all good news. The lovely, lovely, Laura from Foreign Thoughts happens to be a Richard Gadd fan. There is no justice in the world. None.
Over and out, Bacon Fries!

beerjacket in session
For The Pop Cop's second show on Subcity, acclaimed singer-songwriter Beerjacket performed two tunes live on air and gave us some of his infamous 'between-song chat'. He then played the second song AGAIN for reasons that will become clear when you listen in. Plus, my trusty sidekick Big D introduced a brand new segment which could make or break the entire show.

mick wills will mix this saturday 10 - midnight
Theez Boyz R Athletes // 04.12.10
This week on Theez Boyz R Athletes, we'll be presenting you with a mix from none other than Mr. Mick Wills. Soon to arrive in Glasgow to entrance the dancefloor at the next Slabs Of The Tabernacle Event (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=103131446423636), Mick was more than happy to give us the green light to play out one of his exquisite demo mixes.
Younger brother of Bruce Wills, Mick strove from an early age to carve his own unique path in life. Whereas Bruce chose to dawn blood spattered vests, jump down air vents and shout "Yippeekayay!" whilst blowing various things up at Christmas, Mick chose to bring about world peace and increased homelands security through music. So it was at the tender age of 14 he set off, with nothing but a 10% discount voucher for Hardwax in his pocket, a pair of Technics under his arm and a gritty determination not to blow things up at Christmas. His journey has been a long one and his obsession with music that started as a child has brought him far. In the two decades he's been Djing, his electro-minimal, vintage Chicago, Detroit, italo, hi nrg, and acid fusing sets have thus far damaged no municipal buildings.
Tune in to hear this fantastic mix live at ten, or catch the show any time after the event at www.subcity.org/shows/theezboyzrathletes and then get thee to La Cheetah on Queen Street to see (and hear) the man in the flesh.
Yippeekayay!

we rule the school
Students for Scarves and Charm // 28.11.10
Though most historical and religious texts are in agreement that St. Andrew was not a fan of indie pop (he was a death metal man), it would mark me a poor Scot if I didn't commemorate our national saint's day with the obligatory Scottish themed show. This week's tartan tinged extravaganza takes a retrospective look at Scotland's fine history of indie pop bands from The Vaselines and The Pastels through Belle and Sebastian and Camera Obscura to young pretenders such as The Second Hand Marching Band, The Felt Tips and The Just Joans.
This week's Unsigned Act is a double bill of Glaswegian talent, featuring both Peter Parker and Annie Accidental (who sound like a crime fighting super duo if you say their names together). You can hear more from Peter Parker here: http://www.myspace.com/peterparkerglasgow and Annie Accidental here: http://www.myspace.com/annieaccidental . You can also download SAD free and legally here: http://www.thesixtyone.com/annieaccidental#/artist/AnnieAccidental/songs/
Wish I'd Kept A Scrapbook celebrates Camera Obscura's "Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken", a song of near-Motown levels of genius that, in one bold gesture, shed Camera Obscura's reputation as Belle & Sebastian's little sister and established Tracyanne Campbell as one of pop music's finest songwriters.
Don't forget to head down to Bubblegum Record's Glasgow Popfest this weekend for a drool worthy line up of amazing Scottish and international acts plus some awesome DJs: http://www.bubblegumrecords.org.uk/glasgowpopfest.html
Note: This is a music only prerecorded show.

snowed in.....but do not fear
Yes, after wishing on some monumental Arctic blast last week it seems my wishes were granted and then some. I've been snowed in for three days which means I couldn't get down to the studio last night to present the show. However, the ever willing Killer Kitsch massif were on had to deliver the goods.
Pushing the best electro, house, techno and em, drumstep, Euan & Dave brought the filth for two hours of highly entertaining radio. Big exclusives from Reset!, Drop The Lime and Ado, plus a twenty minute mix of Mash Up Madness from Euan certainly helped bring the heat on an otherwise frosty Wednesday evening.
In otherwords, it was pure dead bangin' like.
Remember, Killer Kitsch, Muck & Dirty Noise join forces to bring Reset! & Ado to Stereo this Friday night. Check the Facebook event here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=170838169609953

we did it! (we didn't)
Hunks, hunks hunks // 02.12.10
Between travelling the cosmos in isolation tanks, going for expensive din dins, and questioning wether the idea of grand narritive is relevant in todays post-hunk world we also made a radio show . We accidently deconstructed the very medium of radio this week, but we soon made up for our mistake by literally reversing the start of the show.
After winning back the audience, we then resumed the show in the style of cool Djs, but couldnt pull it off, tried to get a live interview, and reverted back to being plain ol Hunks hunks hunks.
Once back in our cosy yet hollow roles, we debuted a new segement, Hunks in the kitchen, givin you free cooking tips, so you aint a turkey, when your cooking a turkey!
We also covered Fraiser Cranes ending theme tune this week, with a special hunk twist.
As my good m8 Jean Froncois lyotard said:
“Simplifying to the extreme, I define postmodern as incredulity toward meta narratives. This incredulity is undoubtedly a product of progress in the sciences: but that progress in turn presupposes it. To the obsolescence of the meta narrative apparatus of legitimation corresponds, most notably, the crisis of metaphysical philosophy and of the university institution which in the past relied on it. It is being dispersed in clouds of narrative language elements--narrative, but also denotative, prescriptive, descriptive, and so on. Where, after the meta narratives, can legitimacy reside?”
“Shut up Jean Francois” I said. “I can do what I want.”
as juvinille said “hey theres a lot of gurls at the party, but you the only one that im looking at shorty”

paul reset / phuture labs
Ez Folks...
On this weeks Metropolis Sound we've got an exclusive mix from former Nerve Records boss Paul Reset to showcase his new Phuture Labs project.
"Phuturelabs is a Glasgow-based collective built on a shared love for strange electronic music, new technologies and gadgets.... September 2010 saw the launch of the Phuturelabs label. Releases on the label are available to download for free courtesy of the Creative Commons license and style wise the label’s policy is fairly wide, ranging from house and techno to dubstep to garage, IDM, electronica and everything inbetween."
I've also got a ridiculous amount of new D&B releases to get though aswell, including the new Break and Genotype albums, brand new 12"s from Rockwell, Morphy, Data, Seba, Despot, Fracture and Neptune plus the much awaited "Geazy" by Need For Mirrors featuring Stapleton MC.
Plenty to look forward to...

men & machines manuel gottsching special
We'll be doing a 2 hour special tonight on Manuel Gottsching, we we have playing at Stereo on Dec 11th. We'll be taking a look at his music over the last 4 decades, the various artists he's inspired, and we'll have a competition to win a couple of tickets to the gig as well...
Here's a preview/interview with Manuel from The List:
This is a coup and then some for the team behind Glasgow’s Men & Machines club night. Not only has Manuel Göttsching never played Scotland before, but he only plays about two or three gigs around the world every year. ‘I’m usually too busy with other projects or working in my studio,’ he says on the line from his home in Berlin, ‘but they asked me, I thought it sounded interesting, I’ve never been there before.’
For fans of vintage krautrock, the Kosmische sound of space rock and pioneering electronic music and minimalist composition in general, Göttsching is something of a minor deity. As a member of pioneering trio Ash Ra Tempel in the early ‘70s alongside Klaus Schulze and Hartmut Enke and then his own splinter version of that group, named Ashra, he was instrumental in a strong catalogue of spaced-out and ahead of their time psychedelic albums. These include 1972’s Timothy Leary-assisted Seven Up and 1973’s Starring Rosi, while his own 1984 album E2-E4 was a heavily influential piece of early, Eno-esque electronica.
Now he recalls those early days with a laugh, when Ash Ra played on equipment bought by Schulze in London from Pink Floyd’s technicians because they couldn’t afford to buy gear in West Berlin: a city where ‘the clubs had no closing times, and all the young people came because there was no call up for national service in the city.’ Here he promises a mixed solo programme of guitars and electronics, featuring ‘part of my (2005) composition Die Mulde, which has only been performed once before, and some of my older titles from the 1970s.’ It promises to be unmissable.

guest mix - oliver deutschmann (vidab records)
Yet another EXCLUSIVE mix for us here at Animal Farm! OLIVER DEUTSCHMANN - VIDAB
For the past few years Oliver Deutschmann has been an integral part of the techno and house scene of Berlin via his label Vidab, studio productions, and djing. His huge passion for music was injected at a very early age. He spent most of his time recording music from radio stations on tapes, spending all his money on vinyl and doing compilation tapes for his friends.
His first contact with techno music was in the early 90s. Some friends took him to a club in Southern Germany called Oktan. He immediately felt the power of the beat that took him on a whole night dancing journey. Oliver has always been impressed with the vibe of the techno-community and its power, which freely places in the hands of the dj the responsibility of selections, enabling him to play with the wide borders of techno and house music. Small parties followed where he was increasing his skills and so he got „discovered“and was booked to more and bigger parties and clubs. The reputation grew and he was booked in clubs like the WMF, Globus/Tresor or the Maria. During those days Oliver also began to organize parties by himself at clubs such as the Goldengate Club Berlin.
Producing electronic music was the next natural step, and in the beginning of 2007 he co-founded the label Vidab-Records, distributed by Kompakt, together with his partner Stephan Hill. Since then, Vidab is releasing permanently and the number of people who share the musical vision of the label is growing constantly. As of January 2008 Oliver and his partner Stephan are also holding their Vidab label nights in Berlin’s Panorama Bar with a lot of more good things to come in the future.

Back after a week off and raring to go!
Tis the 1st of December and Modern Highlife brings you the first of several fantabulous shows to accompany your weather woes. So why not emulate those of your parents and ancestors....turn off the lights, huddle up and turn on the wireless (or in this case laptop).
Tonights show features plenty of beastly bumps in the form of those lads from Berlin; Brandt Brauer Frick, a brand new Joy Orbison cut which takes us to Detroit and back. And speaking of Detroit watch out for a Carl Craig of Ramadanman that is Biiiiiiiig!
Favour your music at a slower pace? Try some eccentric UK hiphop from Jai Paul...or some electric/swing/folksyness from Gruff Rhys (very nice!). All that, much more and a vintage Roy Ayers track! What more could you want!

bailar? mon, dance with us
After being sent a baile-funk booty record a few weeks ago, I've decided to mix up the genres in this show. Baile funk derives from Miami bass as does Ghettotech therefore it's going to be a fusion of the genres, baile funk in the first half and a special mix of Ghettotech from Data Rape, of Subcity show Banjax, in the second half. So if your favela is covered in snow just like mines then listen for some tropical and humid vibes. It won't be sweaty, no one likes sweat. It'll be hot, really really hot.

agnes (live)
In tonights Podcast No Sleep goes back to there roots to give listeners an insight into the music of the man that encouraged us to start the project. Swizz Deep house legend & globally respected sthlm Audio boss, Agnes. Agne's sound is immediately recognisable, unique however maintains a simpleistic yet origional vibe that is sadly missed in much of todays droney and unexciting house music. We start the show with the first 30 min of a recent live show he recorded at studio 18 in Amsterdam. From this short sample of the mans sound it is eassy to see how talented he is.
We hope to bring him back over towards the latter end of 2011 to play live, following his amazin 2 and 1/2 hour dj set he provided at our opening night back in May, at the La Cheetah Club. We hope he can bring over one of his exciting new rising stars with him, in what would be a mouth watering prospect :)
check out material on sthlm audio, variance, Eklo, Tsuba, Sharivari, Hudd Traxx, Plak (personal favourite of mine)
For the second part of the show Jonny and I chill things right out displaying a more chilled dubby side to our sound whilst still maintaing that groove
Enjoy

alex south: the philosophy of habits
We are what our habits are. This could be the motto of today's Headlights, this time with Alex South. (And without Indra who got stuck in the snow) Alex is currently teaching HATII courses at Glasgow University and his own interest is in the philosophy of habits. And hence we are discussing how we can define habits, how we can become aware and eventually change habits and much more.
On top of that we are also very delighted to actually play music that is not just picked by our guest but also performed by him - as part of his engagement in the One Ensemble Orchestra and the Scottish Clarinet Quartet.

david lynch
In what is perhaps our best show yet, we recorded a two hour special focusing on the works of David Lynch; discussing our favourite Lynch movies and TV shows; playing the gorgeous, cool, and in some cases, terrifying music from them; not to mention experiencing a strange spirit presence which occasionally interrupted our discussions...
Also, in a first for The Red Room, we were joined by a very special guest; American singer-songwriter/mad scientist of music, Thomas Truax, who chatted to us about David Lynch and played a few songs in studio, ranging from unique cover versions to bizarre, wonderful originals.
We hope you enjoy listening to this show as much as we enjoyed making it.

rolling through the new grime
Over the past couple of shows things have been focusing more on the old school side of UK music with Renegade in the studio last week for the Jundle DnB special and Deviant Institute up the week before spitting over a mix of retro grime hits.
During these shows my collection of brand new and unplayed grime tracks has been building up and it needs to be exposed! So this week is all about brand new grime music, playing both instrumentals and vocals.
Expect to hear new material from the likes of Badness, Merky ACE, Frisco, Kozzie and Rival as well as instrumentals from Zdot, DOK, Doorly, Teddy and Swindle.

show 7: just you dare try to play "wonderwall".
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 02.12.10
The snow is falling all over Glasgow and turning it into a death trap for those on the streets, on the roads and even in their houses. For those very reasons, we've decided to bring warmth into your life with our dulcet tones and a selection of the finest acoustic tunes we can gather on this weeks show - but that's not all! These Awkward Sons will be accompanied in our twiddling of nobs (sic) by a very special (and I mean that in every sense) guest this week. Listen in from 2am-3am to find out who...
You'll have forgotten that you're too poor to pay those huge electric and gas bills that you're running up in no time.
Oh, and if Chris DOES bring his Alanis Morissette "MTV Unplugged" album you will definitely hear a live battering on air.

7 - introducing... bob marley
Bungo's away playing the Sub Club so this week I'm on my own.
For the second in our "Introducing..." series of shows I'll be telling you all a bit about Bob Marley, the man who brought reggae music to the masses.
A bit of an obvious choice, I know, but if you listen to the show you'll see where I'm coming from. Every song is a treat.
I've put together a few of my favourite songs by Bob Marley, The Wailers and other artists he's played with. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.
Big ups!

lack of shows/dj set at subcity on dec 2nd
Hey all,
Apologies for the distinct lack of shows lately - between a brutal chest infection, a dissertation hand-in and the snow, I haven't been able to do the past three shows.
But all is not lost! I'll be back on the next show, which is Dec 6th.
Until then, you can check out other broadcasts on the page, and come hang at the Subcity party at Nice 'n' Sleazy's on Dec 2nd, where Jamie and I will be DJing as Codeine Drums.
In the words of Waka Flocka Flame, O LETS DO IT.

round ii
As the name of the show suggests; a little bit of everything. A journey through some of my current favourite tracks and a couple from the past when I realised I hadn't put together a long enough playlist.
Worth mentioning that the tune that comes in around 1hr02 is part of Subcity's "Most Wanted' and not a selection of my own.

free mixes that will win you sexual partners.
The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart
We played a gig last night (Sunday) with the excellent and downright fucking lovely Hype Williams as part of a Cry Parrot and Subcity night at Nice N Sleazy. For those that attended, we thank you and hope your ears are fully recovered. For those that didn't then it's only fair to say that we hate you all, but not as much as we hate ourselves.
Yet, we're a couple of swell guys... Swell, hot guys... So there's a present for you all if you follow the link below. We gave away 40 CD's that contained two mixes: The first by Chris "My Balls Are Totally Different Sizes" Storey, and the second by Anthony "Bloody hell, How'd That End Up In There?" Morrow. Tracklistings for both mixes will be forthcoming, but for now know them as:
1) Septic Baby Invasion
2) Sleeping Makes You Sick
Enjoy responsibly, with some Buckfast in hand whilst misadventuring in a cupboard.

episode 1: and hopefully not our last
The Hammy & Jenko Show // 29.11.10
After technical difficulties last month (not being able to get in the building), we've finally recorded our first show. Hammy starts off by talking about the wedding in Ireland he went to at the weekend, and how he managed to make the mother of the Bride cry. Jenko finds out on facebook that the girl he was texting regretted it the next day, and the question on everyone's lips is asked: is Snoop Dogg still "gangsta?"
We've also got tunes including a leak from the new Dr Dre album, Kanye West's new single and the 50 Cent remix of "Like a G6" (Whatever that is). Oh aye, and we wonder if we'll ever be allowed on again after some of our more dodgy comments - not that they were that bad or anything...

The Mighty Chris Henry joins me in the studio for a chat. The man behind such catch frases as 'that's a nice jumper' and 'don't tell anybody I said that', Actually, I may have said that last one. Anyway Chris will be joining me at 45 kicks this week, so tune in for good music and perhaps a wee bit of a laugh.

Live From Las Vegas // 24.11.10
'What are we listening to?', asked the long haired hippie, in a state of horror, to his similarly dessed hippie friend across the other end of the room. The second hippie looked up at his friend in shock: 'It's the same album we've been listening to consecutively for the last three days. Don't you like it?' asked the second hippie who was slightly more ugly than the first and looked like Toby Maguire. 'This is complete crap!', the first hippie replied with a screwed up face like someone had put a cold poo in his mouth. 'What's wrong, dude?', asked Toby Maguire. 'I don't know I just can't stand this terrible music'. 'Wait I know what's wrong', Toby smiled to himseldf, 'you need more weed!' And then the two friends laughed and laughed at their hilarious observation. AND THEN THEY DIED - DON'T TAKE DRUGS!

guest - klartraum - live
This week we have the German production outfit of Helmut Ebritsch & Nadja Lind aka KLARTRAUM.
In mid-2006, after a lucky “co-incident” had happened on a virtual musician platform “Pulsar Records”, when Nadja Lind (international DJ, Groove Magazin Top 10 best remixer 2008 - G-Man aka Gez Varley rmx) and Helmut Ebritsch (Hatikvah, Morris Audio, Baalsaal) met for the 1st time through their music. From then on they have been creating music together, mutually influenced by their personalities and personal growth. Klartraum has emerged! After a very short time Klartraum was singed and released their 1st EP. It was back on New Year´s eve in 2007, when Nadja and Helmut took their creativity a great step ahead by linking up their devices in order to create a constant flow, not only when performing live, but even during the creational process of new compositions. Latest release of the berlin-based project appeared at Absurd Recordings (Passion EP with remixes by Mark Henning, Marek Hemmann, Chopstick&Johnjon). They have performed live at Berlin's leading clubs like Rechenzentrum, Maria, Funkhaus and also performed at IBIZA GLOBAL RADIO's Silicone Soul's broadcasting show Darkroom Dubs and many more. It is no surprise that they increasingly receive appreciation with their live performances by a constantly growing fan-base. They have just returned from USA where they performed live in the desert of Utah. In July 2009 Klartraum released their 1st EP "All Dimensions" on their own label LUCIDFLOW and in October Lucidflow 002, a Nadja Lind release called "Maturity" with huge support from the world's top djs!

Vronsky starts things off with some disco and house and Allan from wedge has a chat and plays some big tech house tunes.
TO round things off Allan dropped the huge James Blake tune Limit to Your Love.
This was a big episode so make sure to check it out.

peeping shrapnels
Critics are morons! They couldn’t spot a classic if it rammed a tripod spike into their jugular. Take recently rereleased classic, Peeping Tom, a film so derided upon its original 1960 run that it effectively ended the career of Michael Powell, its director. On this week’s show we try to right some similar wrongdoings by choosing our top three misunderstood classics.
Also on the show we discuss the unstoppable Tony Scott and his cinematic love affair with Denzel Washington – their latest unholy collaboration, Unstoppable, being the sixty-ninth film they’ve made together. Once a year these two Hollywoods giants collide for frantic, passionless, meaningless sex. Tony and Denzel may be having fun, but it’s we the audience who have to witness the results of these perennial tryst – grotesque, deformed, mutated creatures such as Man on Wire, Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3 and, unfortunately, Unstoppable. Time to start using protection boys.

11: don't tell betty
We all had the pleasure of attending Vitamins 3 last night. The secret location turned out to be a mad warehouse stocked with copious amounts of Romanian moonshine. One of the Disco Disco lads had a bit too much of the fine stuff, coupled with drinking vodka straight from the bottle, and is sadly now on his deathbed and probably wont be able to summon the energy required to put in a performance on the show tonight.
Tune in at 11pm to find out who we're on about and for all the usual chat and groovy choons.
Lovesies x
Post Show News: We had a full team turn up amid the early worry that the Big Cunt had actually died from the Vitamins hangover today. Other great chat includes Freya kicking Cheesy off the air after he goes a bit too far with his some of his comments, the Big Cunt having an inability to do simple maths and the Murdog not knowing he whitied everywhere the night before. It's a good show, with good tunes. You'll like it.

snowy sordid saturday fun.......
So it was a fine sunny winter's day in Glasgow, droplets of snow sparkled briefly in the late morning sunshine before disappearing effortlessly from memory. Just like that astonishingly beautiful piece of prose, She Said that very evening laid waste to your finely tuned senses as you lay helpless gasping at the sheer majesty of the experience.
Positively no frills and absolutely no money back guarantee required.
It was amazing.

the pgtr sessions
Pop Goes The Revolution // 26.11.10
Pop Goes The Revolution invited four top bands in to a small room at Subcity HQ for an exclusive recording session. Featuring Endor and Cancel The Astronauts, two bands we've been persistently claiming we would get in for a session, alongside two bands we have to admit we have overlooked in the past, White Heath and Tango In The Attic.
Each band recorded a full length set, showcasing their live sound. Expect a few rarities as well, from the Endor solo set to the Tango In The Attic Beach Boys Cover.
We also asked our listeners to vote for their favourite tracks from the session. We took the 11 tracks with the most voted and decided to give them to you to keep for free. You can download the tracks from The Pop Goes The Revolution Sessions in the Subcity Podcasts section, where you'll also find an array of other nice Subcity goodies from an old Franz Ferdinand session to a more recent one by Dirty Keys.
The podcasts have been released. You can now download it here.
There will also be some photos taken on the night arriving soon.

yep, i pretty much can't get my act together...
Unfortunately I've just been too busy to get a whole 2hr show together recently, for which I apologise. However, it means the one hour I have been able to program has been crammed with massive tunage from Glasgow & around the world. Apart from one of the CD's just falling silent at one point this week, we had a fairly uber-fantastical show.
Dersonna stole the title of 'Local Hero' this week with a massive track from his forthcoming EP called 'Cut & Paste' - big, hip hop inspired techno which is sure to cause carnage on the dancefloor. Hot new Italian producer Broke One took the Blog Burner with a huge jackin' slice of 90's inspired house calld 'Tribute To An Era' - I'm backing this guy for 2011 in a big way.
I'm going for the full 2hr jump off next week so expect a twenty minute mix of Mash Up Madness from Killer Kitsch champion mixer Euan Neilson plus all the usual features.
I also recently caught up with the Vitamins crew ahead of their initimate party this Saturday in a secret sweatbox somewhere in Glasgow. Check out the interview on the Synth blog: http://www.synthesiseglasgow.blogspot.com/

The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 26.11.10
For better or worse, the three original cheeky chaps are back for another installment (installation?) of The (world famous) All Day Cheeky Breakfast*
As per usual, the cheekiest of tunes from the likes of George Benson, Jurassic 5, Del Amitri, Robert Cray and Talking Heads.... We also somehow managed to fit in a classic, if lesser known, Prince track.
Kev introduces Mikkers and Callum to some new games, we celebrate the life of Bernard Matthews (The Turkey Tycoon), discuss the news, hear treasure from Mikkers' trove of Hidden Gems and enjoy the usual back and forth which makes the All Day Cheeky Breakfast the perfect way to start/continue/end your day.
E-Mail the show with your thoughts, opinions, compliments, requests, complaints.... alldaycheeky@gmail.com or find us on Facebook. In sheer desperation, Kevin has offered the handsome reward of a box of celebrations to the writer of the best message within the next week. Forget your final essays, this is much more important.
*Probably not World Famous.... Yet.

singing knives
This week Worst Chips Ever is all about the sub-underground sound of New Sheffield... except no one is really calling it that, apart from Keenan but...you get the point.
Singing Knives is one of the most consistently killer labels in the UK, blurting out releases from a raft of post-free folk improvisers and ethno-skronking badasses including Harappian Night Recordings, Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides, Chora, Serfs, Dylan Nyoukis, Stephanie Hladowski and many more.
This episode Im gonna be playing tracks from the labels recent compilation "Thoughts From Screeching Lake" alongside some new tunes from The Hunter Gracchus as well as an edited version of one of the new Nyoukis blurps from the imminent re-release of the deliciously bonkers "Carrion Hut" LP, previously available only as part of an incorporated extra found accompanying the initial run of releases of "Inside Wino Lodge".
Other than this medley of guaranteed chart smashers, this show will be opening and closing with two tracks that bare the mark of Sleazy Pete Christopherson, sadly departed from our midst in his sleep just last night. This show is dedicated to him. Not that he would have given much of a fuck for such sentimentality.
A coule of treats from my two favorite electronic releases of the year so far get a run out tonight also. Step forward Raime and D.D Denham.
Elsewhere there is some neon long-lost-Miami Vice-action-sequence soundtrack fun from Daniel Lapotin's Games project, the fractured beauty of Hasil Adkins, some astounding free form vocalising from Sonny and Linda Sharrock and an unreconstructed blast of guitar battery from Richard Youngs recent Volcanic Tongue belter.
Wrap yer ears round it young team!

UPDATE: Due to my shitty freeware playing up there is some dead air doing the rounds this episode. Consequently, I had to cut short my Singing Knives special by a few tracks. To hear the full version, download THIS ----------> http://www.mediafire.com/?cz4amqgy3ke42m7

entr'acte special!!!
FINALLY. Worst Chips Ever somewhat sheepishly presents a third episode. Mangled esoteric technophilia from Astral Social Club and The Village Orchestra. Some irresistible west African calypso, cult Japanese psyche and immersive dub happenin' too, amongst the rest of the sonic blather on offer from Dirty Beaches and Henry Flynt.
BUT!!!!!
Far more importantly, this week is an Entr'acte Records showcase. Allon Kaye's London based avant electronics imprint is home to numerous digitial dilettantes including EVOL, Legowelt, eriKm and a host of others, serving up constantly challenging releases as aesthetically conceptualized as they are formally vibrant.
DECENT SPEAKERS AND LOUD VOLUME WILL HEIGHTEN AND INTENSIFY YOUR RESPONSES TO THE MUSIC OF:
Tomas Korber & Ralf Wehowsky / hamaYôko / EVOL / Lee Gamble / Helena Gough / Michael J Schumacher.
For more information on Entr'acte's unique approach to packaging and graphic design, as well as an interview with Mr Kaye himself, check out Derek Walmsley's profile from last months issue of The Wire here:

And of course, http://www.entracte.co.uk for further information regarding artists, releases and projects both past and present from this cracking wee label.

st andrew's day special
So tonight to celebrate St Andrew's day and all things Scottish we'll be playing music by Scottish musicians. It was tempting just to play two hours of Wet Wet Wet but we decided against this. Instead you can expect to hear the depressing tones of Arab Strap, Scottish beats courtesy of STS, ambience from Samoyed, bass speaker melting antics from Loops Haunt, post rock in the form of Mogwai and not forgetting the crooning of Rod Stewart!
So grab a can of Irn Bru, some short bread and tune in at 9pm tonight!

an immoveable feast
"Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, 'Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats?' and sometimes, 'Do bats eat cats?' for, you see, as she couldn't answer either question, it didn't much matter which way she put it."
Lewis Carroll
Lo! Sean's back in the studio with Rosie this week, having been away conducting some very important radio-related research. He brings excerpts from the diaries of Brian Eno and Lord Byron as well as a miserable little poem by Philip Larkin, all beautifuly tessellating around our theme - Food and Drink. Yes, the more attentive listeners will notice that this is similar to last week. We can assure you that this is not some monumental cock-up (!), but rather a meticulously planned and flawlessy exectuted banquet of two halves. (We couldn't afford pudding.) Musical highlight - Sister Carol's dietary advice in the form of Veggie, Veggie - "No MSG, no eggy, eggy, eggy, eggy."
David has bewilderingly transformed into a woman called Simone, but we were too polite to ask what happened.
As ever, do get in touch, and send us your ideas for next time, which is... Sleep. Bon appetit!

tasteful titbits
"There was early coffee to be got about Covent-garden Market, and that was more company - warm company, too, which was better. Toast of a very substantial quality, was likewise procurable: though the towzled-headed man who made it, in an inner chamber within the coffee-room, hadn't got his coat on yet, and was so heavy with sleep that in every interval of toast and coffee he went off anew behind the partition into complicated cross-roads of choke and snore, and lost his way directly."
Charles Dickens
Rosie goes solo this week, having fed Sean and David like French geese until their livers burst. Full-up and content, she plays a Food and Drink mix including show-favourite Ivor Cutler describing a bizarre man-sandwich hybrid, culinary rap from Edan and a splendid ode to chicken by Charles Mingus. The Flaming Lips also render a horror story into song form about a woman who, instead of jam on her toast, uses... Tune in to find out. Tropic Of Clyde begins a tale of several courses for you to sink your teeth into. This week, the aperitif - after an evening spent in a cocktail bar, our heroes have a late-night encounter with some foxes. Here's an aid to digestion whilst you're listening.

melting meletus: telepathic cosmic intelligence
_______________For this particular installment of Earthly Matters, I'm going to explore an underrated side of Hip Hop
which often gets overlooked rather frequently by the more ubiquitous sugar coated major label hip hop of today_______________
-----------This is the side of Hip Hop which focuses on wisdom, thought and cosmic intervention, abstract theories
of space, time, existence, physical properties and the fabric of reality itself. -----------
""""""""""""""""""I'll be focusing on artists such as Sir Menelik aka Cyclops 4000, Kool Keith and his alter ego, Dr Octagon,
the Hieroglyphics crew, the lo-fi anxiousness of Sensational, to MF Grimm, to Madlib's other alias Quasimoto, and the masked supervillain himself, MF DOOM. """"""""""""""""""
++++++++ These are the sounds of Offbeat bi-polar android hop, the music that some of the world's most powerful
telekinetic, psychic mutant's from the Marvel Universe would listen to if they were into Hip Hop. A mind melding infusion
of sporadic lyrics, crater like rhythms and an impending feeling of doom laden prophecies from the galaxies quirkiest
storytellers. ++++++++

interpretations & permutations
General up & at 'em goodness from this week's episode of MH!
As always we keep it with the old and new, and star vintage track this week would have to be Shuggie Otis' version of Strawberry Letter.....Shuggie of course a bona-fide under-listened to legend in the soul/early boogie scene, a definite predecessor to the likes of Prince. Any track from his album 'Inspiration Information' is always worth a revisit here on Subcity.
Keeping it slo-mo, Robert Vanderbilt, Chris Turner and THAT tune from Baths bringing soul with an electronic tinge...the way we like it! Talking electronic, SBTRKT's new EP is on constant loop in my house, last week it was 'Colonise', this week its his more pop-friendly but equally as good joint with Sampha; 'Look At Stars'. Also brand new group from Berlin on !K7 called Brandt Brauer Frick (great footage of them playing live Kraftwerk style here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OHFegchRTs), an excellent track from Portico Quartet side project Circle Traps, not to mention a crazy Deadboy remix of Scuba, from his new remix album of this year's explosive album 'Triangulation' (whole album is BIG!!).
If that's not enough, throw in some Darkstar, James Blake, Magnetic Man and watch out for an excellent new group from Vancouver called Brasstronauts.
Thats yer lot.....tune in and turn it up!

Whose Responsible This? will continue as normal this week, taking names and steadily becoming the most talked about show on Subcity.org in the demographic of people who listen to Whose Responsible This? On topic this week, Gerald and Zan troll deep the pit of web-news and find the physical personification of the hedonism-bot's bloated festive celebrations, videos of different things which make Gerald puke on command, students being watched through a camera all the time in Canada by one man during the hours of 9-5 and why that's so much worse than just using your eyes for some reason and the shocking correlation between people who like Batman and people who like to masturbate.

Allan: What?...wait, Mark. That doesn't sound so terrible.
Mark: You think? In the dream, I was the third girl from the end.

You may have noticed a pattern over the past few shows. Before Curtis is released on bail to get back to what he's doing best at Junglism, DJ Griff will take you on another special, Dubstep. From bass-heavy wobbles to blaring mid-range and everything else in between, make sure you have your bass-bins cranked up to keep with the ride

birthday
Our fifth show marked Thom's entry into the strange and wonderful domain of vicenarianism; a show in which we delved into memories and reminiscences of birthdays past, and Thom played whatever the hell he wanted, resulting in a somewhat eclectic and varied playlist. We also unwrapped (and in one case, consumed) birthday presents live on-air. All of this, coupled with stream of consciousness banter, resulted in quite a good show, and also the best birthday ever.

susan stuart: consciousness
Today in Headlights: A fantastic interview with Susan Stuart (Homepage/Staff Profile) on consciousness. With what probably is the lowest number of songs ever played on Headlights, we try to explain what consciousness is and how we can conceptualise it. We return to zombies, philosophical alas, a topic we have already discussed in one of our previous episodes. Philosophical Zombies are people just like you and us, except that they don't have any conscious experience of the world. They simply act and respond the world. Curious? Just listen again to the entire episode!

6 - the high grade selection
Sensimella, Collie, Ganja, High Grade...
This week we're going to take you through all things ganja, old and new, exploring it as one of the key influences to many reggae and dancehall artists.
Whatever way you look at it, ganja has a place in reggae music. Almost every reggae artist out there talks about it at some point, whether it's about how strongly they disagree with it's prohibition, how much it means to them spiritually or just how they don't like smoking it with tobacco.
Also, expect a few tunes from DJ Greenman who is going to come round and share some of his high grade selection along with us.
Enjoy!

guest - marko fürstenberg (live)
This week we have a recording of the awesome Marko Fürstenberg live from New York in 2008. Those unfamiliar with Markos excellent take on the Dub Techno sound should definitely check him out! Starting his electronic life on the netlabel "Thinner", Marko has become one of Germany's finest purveyors of the modern Basic Channel sound
Marko Fürstenberg was born in December 1976 and raised in the center of Germany. In the middle of the 80's he became interested in electronic music above the EBM and Wave hype. At the beginning of the 90's he began to concern intensively with electronic music and started to mix tracks, with tape recorders. In the middle of the 90's and with the period of Basic Channel and Chain Reaction he discovered the mentioned pioneers of dubelectronica. Bound of the deep, heavy rhythms Marko quitted his job as DJ and began setting up an own studio. At the end of of 1999 he settled into a particularly furnished basement to install his studio. There he started experimenting with different styles. In the fall of 2001 the project VERTIKAL23 was founded, setting Surphase to work at songs together with other musicians and DJ’s. At the beginning of of 2002 he discovered the NetLabel Thinner and was inspired enough by their releases, so it took a short time until his first EP „Dub Expo“ came out. Regarding the Thinner Vinyls, he changed his name under which he released before from "Dolby" to "Surphase". His latest Tracks came out under his real name Marko Fürstenberg and these tracks are more Basic Channel inspired than everything before.

Unfortunately both Rosa & Amanda have been busy out their tits getting lots of things done the past week or so, and we can only apologise for our lack of interaction. However, big tings are a comin!
So on Saturday we went back to 2002 with tracks from Tim Deluxe, Tweet & Missy Elliot, we had Pasty Thirytwo in the studio live to mix it up for 20 mins, and we dished up plenty of beats from Marlena Shaw to Benga, you know how we like to mash it up.
However, our big news is that we are on the line up for the Subcity Party next THURSDAY at NICE N SLEAZYS! Come down and feast upon BANGERS & MASHUP LIVE! But yeah... watch this space!

island in space
Another Cosmic introspecive mix from Nathan... although this time from the treacherous middle-island terrain of Iceland, where the bold Tarantism Viking has set himself up his very own pirate radio station, Beej FM. Not in rival to Subcity, but rather in compliment, Beej FM has already become Iceland's most listened to radio station, launched with the broadcast of this hour-long mix inspired by the warming sight of the winter sky's aurora.
Translated from Old Norse:
"It's nighttime, and the stars are within reach as the waves of a crystal clear ocean lap the sun-warmed sand of a shore on some far off celestial body… low light laid as a reflection from numerous nearby moons complements a mood set by low-down cosmic disco and a new breed of balearic sound..."

is enough being done for lgbt rights?
This week we will be taking a look at LGBT rights after a UN resolution was amended 79 votes to 70 to remove references to sexual orientation on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions. Simply put it means that there can be little protection for those who are threatened with execution due to their sexual orientation. In the US a survey of over 7000 trans people found 41% had attempted suicide all this after several students killed themselves after taunts for being gay earlier this year. The question is have we done enough for LGBT rights? If not where do we go from here?

Students for Scarves and Charm // 21.11.10
Inspired by Gospel Music‘s (the surprisingly promising new project by Owen Holmes, bassist of the underwhelming band Black Kids) forthcoming Duettes EP featuring, rather self-explanitorily, duets with indie girls Tracyanne Campbell of Camera Obscura, Cassie Ramone of Vivian Girls, Soko and occasional Magnetic Fields contributor Shirley Simms (plus the very much male Darren Hayman of Hefner), this week’s Students for Scarves and Charm celebrates some of my favourite songs with female vocalists from the late 80s/early 90s. Expect to hear Slumberland darlings Henry’s Dress and Velocity Girl, charming indie poppers Talulah Gosh, Marine Girls and The Pooh Sticks and new-wavers Dolly Mixture. There’s also more recent releases from Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Sweater Girls and Sourpatch. This episode is cuter than a kitten wearing a cardigan so prepare yourself to squee.
This weeks Unsigned Act is This Many Boyfriends who recall the hyperactivity and pop-geekery of early Los Campesinos!, you can here more from them at their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/howmanyboyfriends
The Wish I’d Kept A Scrapbook feature celebrates Tiger Trap’s Supercrush: simultaneously shambolic and elegant and sounding like an indie pop epic at a mere 2 minutes and 15 seconds long, it is another perfect pop song from the mind of Rose Melberg.
See you next week, Mairiclare

celebrating 20 years of divine!
Glasgow's longest running club night, Divine! has been happening for almost 20 years at the Vic Bar at the Art School and it will be a great honour to welcome resident disc jockey, Mr Divine to show.
Jamie will be investigating just how one man and his trusty box of records has maintained a packed dance-floor for all these years. We'll look back to the early years of Divine! as we follow the clubs musical path of evolution from the clubs early years playing Detroit House to the Divine! we all know now playing the most Happening Sounds of Retro.
We'll be looking ahead to the Birthday Happening the following Saturday (4th December) and perhaps listeners will even get a sneak preview of some of the records that will be appearing in the next in the series of the now legendary Divine! mixes which have been given out over the years at the clubs birthday happenings!
And joining Mr Divine in the Vic Bar will be instrumental Hammond mod groovers, The Privates so tune into the show to hear just what to expect from The Privates on the night!

Renowned royalist, The Big Cunt gives us a break down of the royal wedding news, Roscoe Tanner fills us in on his day of stage building and Cheesy wasn't out last night so he might be able to string a sentence together this week, hopefully.

In with old, staying with the new........
This week's show brought a lot of new joints from SBTRKT, Cut Chemist, Doc Daneeka as well as appreciating some stone cold classics from DJ Shadow and Cerrone amongst others.
Great to see some new material from Cut Chemist emerging from his new mixtape 'Sound of the Police'. Brought out some classic Shadow to fit in with this and that his new album is due for release next year (radio rip of new material sounding good)! As usual we slipped into a mix of some brand new electronic stuff, mostly from the UK, with Svpreme Fiend, a beast from SBTRKT (can do no wrong) and some other bits and bobs. Finished the show off with a few beats, strings and things in the form of new group Baths, Darkstar, Brasstronaut from Vancouver and a cracking jazz piano cover of MIA's Galang from The Vijay Iyer Trio.
Tune in and Turn it up!

Despite a few minor technical hiccups, the first shakin' all over got off to a decent start. Mistakes were made, notes were taken but all in all a good night.

Pop Goes The Revolution // 19.11.10
Another week, another episode.
However we did share some exciting news about Admiral Fallow, talk about what songs we were going to make Endor play tomorrow, and how much of a cool name Becca & The Broken Biscuits is.... although that last one may have been discussed off mic. There's only one way to find out. Listen.

The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 19.11.10
Join 2/3rds of the Cheekiest Crew this side of Legoland for another installment of the All Day Cheeky Breakfast!
In Kev's abscess we are joined by guest host, David Beck. Former student, current member of The Nightmares, and all round good guy.
Some more classic tunes for an easy groove and Friday-feeling-funk-up.
Also Joining is Lisa Varty, who would like to talk to us about her fantastic new play as we interview another contributor to the STaG Nights phenomenon. Thankfully we don't think she'll be describing her interview as 'traumatic'.
As if that wasn't enough we have Beck and Varty taking on the home team in the resident game of "Kev says shut it" The game where anything can happen and the name changes every time...
And don't forget out Prince residency...
Over and out, Bacon Fries.

rpz's cosmic voyage (with den haan)
RPZ
Invites you on a COSMIC VOYAGE departure from Earth scheduled -
Friday 26th November. 11pm GMT.
STARSHIP STEREO 22-28 Renfield Lane 11-3am £8/6
http://soundcloud.com/abnormals/cosmic-voyage-promo
On Friday 26th November RPZ present a 'Cosmic Voyage' with guest deejays DEN HAAN. This will be a special one-off event dedicated to cosmic disco, space-concept rock and galactic boogie which will boldy go where no club has gone before.
RPZ have been toiling feverishly in a secret government research facility helping devise and perfect a revolutionary new form of interplanetary propulsion - the DISCO DRIVE! Harnessing the extraordinary power of the synthesised night rhythms, RPZ are now able to invite the select few on a journey through the galaxy - an inaugural flight - to test out the viability of this extraordinary method of travel.
Lift of from the planet earth will be piloted by the glasgow based dj Delusions of Grandeur, easing us free from the atmosphere and into a stable orbit of the Moon. From here passengers will be propelled through the Solar System with RPZ at the controls, passing by asteroids, planets and breathtaking stellar phenomenon at unimaginable speeds. As the throbbing beats of the DISCO DRIVE reaches optimum efficiency, Glasgow's own deities of disco DEN HAAN will take over the controls. Channelling the mystic energies of their UNIARIAN religion the DEN HAAN duo will release a series of complex italo-disco equations into the vacuum of space causing euphoric ruptures in the very fabric of the disco space/time continuum.
Possibly....
The RPZ team offer this one-off excursion through the beauty and mystery of our universe, and have searched deep within their record collections to unearth mystifying chucks of concept space rock and precious cosmic disco diamonds to fuel this DISCO DRIVE unit. JOE CROGAN will be on hand to catalogue the sights on this monumental odyssey, projecting each swirling nebulae, strobing pulsar and mystical alien artefact on the inner hull of the Starship Stereo for the entertainment of our passengers and crew.
Don't miss this opportunity to experience the thrill of inter-stellar space travel, though who knows what we will discover on the very edges of the know Universe...
(*Passengers should take note that on return to the earth more than 500 years will have elapsed. Contact with Alien Lifeforms is not guaranteed.)
RPZ - Close Encounters of EVERY Kind.
*************
Crew Compliment -
DEN HAAN - Are Glasgow's premier proponents of synthesized Hi-NRG dance music. Their previous release are favoured spins by the likes of Optimo, Cosmo Vitelli, Headman, Ivan Smagghe and Mylo. The duo have a new single due in December and their debut album "Gods From Outer Space" due out next year. This guest deejay set is a rare chance for the duo explore a totally space & cosmic orientated DJ theme.
RPZ - eight years established, the RPZ deejays are responsible for one of the most influential club events in Glasgow and specialise in synthetic disco and bionic-bass sounds from the past, present and future.
JOE GROGAN - Notorious hunk and wizard of light and magic, Joe Crogan is Glasgow club-lands most talented and in-demand club visuals and VJ supremo.
DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR - has previously played at RPZ, IAM, Cheap 'n' Nasty and pre-club slots at The Goat throughout this year. He plays out a variety of disco, italo, house, electronica, synth-pop and techno, punctuated by sudden starts and abrupt stops.

artistic differences...
I think our show is steadily declining in professionalism. Today we had varying levels of volume, a bit of swearing, a ringing phone and a few awkward silences. Our brilliant guest Louis Abbott made up for that though. I had genuine shivers. I very much reccommend everyone checks out Admiral Fallow's album, tis one of the very best things 2010 has had to offer. Louis also whores himself out at the Bloc open mic every sunday. Well worth a visit. In other news, we will try our best to be fullly functioning presenters at the next show. In the meantime enjoy Louis, the shambolic chat of me and Johnny and my ringtone making a cheeky appearance at the end. Laura x

the lotd thanatotic thirty 2010: 30-19
This week:
Thanatos (n): an ancient Greek personification of death. Related forms - Thanatotic (adj).
As another year reaches the end of its own march of Thanatos, Left Of The Dial presents the first instalment of its torturously alliterative answer to John Peel's Festive Fifty - the Thanatotic Thirty, a three-part rundown of the thirty finest albums of 2010. We're covering 30-19 this week, and without wanting to give anything away, some of the stuff we're playing should give you some indication of just how good a year it's been: any other year, it certainly wouldn't be languishing in the lower depths like this. Leave your own 30-19s or have a guess at what ours'll be before Sunday's show, either on the show Facebook page or on the Subcity message board.

1 hour
Crammmming the tunes in this week! We were only on air for an hour as I'm basically phenomenally unorganised at the moment (promise we'll be back to the full two hours next week). Having said that, we still managed to squeeze in a Blog Burner from The Phantom's Revenge (big, filtered French house at it's best), a Drum&Bass themed Tea Time Rave Off (some of my favourite D&B cuts from the last two months in ten minutes), plus we crowned Rob Etherson our Local Hero for his driving techno remix of Barrientos 'Breathe'.
Four show's left after this one...expect big tings.

do we play fair with asylum seekers?
It seems to be the burning question on the DiF lines this week as it was revealed that the UK Borders Agency had canceled its contract to house asylum seekers with Glasgow City Council. It's caused some consternation out there with lots of you raging at lack of notice and the wording of letters being sent to those waiting on decisions on their asylum applications. Many families face being uprooted from the communities where they have made their homes and having to find new schools for their children.
A fair few of you wanted this to be this weeks topic so we bumped health, (again!). And duly followed your wishes listeners. What we want to know is do we play fair with asylum seekers? Some come from backgrounds we can't even imagine and are vulnerable and need support. Are we giving them a raw deal? Or is it a case of the needs of the majority outweigh the needs of the few?
Anne McLaughlin MSP: a politician who has been at the forefront of this debate with the Florence and Precious Mhango case will be joining us in the studio and we should hopefully have a feature from the Scottish Refugee Council and some case stories for you on the show this Sunday.

Have you heard about the word // 18.11.10
less than a century ago space travel was no more than a dream, dear to a few enthusiasts. But 'dreamers are dangerous men', especially when millions share their dream, and as with space travel military rockets provide the means. The space enthusiasts asked for the Moon and refused to take 'no' for an answer
This week we are honoured that The Moon has taken time out of her busy schedule to pop into the Subcity studio. Listen in to the show for our exclusive interview as well as the best of the best inspired by our satellite

baltimore baby
Hands up, thumbs down this week boys and girls. A full hour of Baltimore from Shaun Fae Solar (Subcity/Vitamins) is going to have you poppin and lockin. You can dance to Baltimore club music in anyway imaginable. Maybe you wanna do a shoulder lean, a snap and a pop, a 1-2 step, that might work. However if you really wanna bring it, two of the most prominent types of dancing for Bmore are 'spongebob' and 'crazy legs'. Youtube the shit out of that and you'll see how hard some chicks go on this. I'm also going to be asking Shaun some questions about his Baltimore collection and baltimore music in general. If you've got a question you'd maybe like to ask then just hit me up on the facebook page.

5 - real reggae music?... eazi now!!!
This week Chungo-Bungo brings you a master class in classic reggae music (we're talking live bands, not digital production) and we've also got a very special guest to help us out...
We've asked our good friend Campeazi to come on the show this week. He's a connoisseur of all things reggae, especially the tunes with a really organic sound. We're sure that with choices such as Barrington Levy, Laurel Aitken, and even a bit of Gappy Ranks, you won’t be disappointed!
Big Ups!

hates
In this week's episode, we dove headfirst into an insomnia-induced speel of whining and moaning about things we dislike. Perhaps inspired by the cold weather, or the lack of prolonged sunlight, we let off some steam about things that grind our gears and boil our blood, as well as telling an amusing little anecdote about our attempted massacre of a fellow Scottish band in our local rehearsal studios. We also played some songs that literally bleed vitriol.

Join Rob and Steve as they talk with the festival's director Sarah MacDonald along with some of the artists who'll be showcasing their work on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week.

Our fourth show had plenty to offer in the form of the Sub Terrain boys, who came down to reak havoc in the Subcity studio for our first live mix by 'Introducing...' their blend of bass heavy beats! We were without the wonderful Rosa Higgin this week, but she still managed to pip me to the post with her 'Year of the Week' track - Flat Beat by Mr Oizo which went up against Hey Girl, Hey Boy by The Chemical Brothers for the fight to represent the year '1999'.
Along with all that, we brought you our usual blend of house, dubstep, funky and most things in between with tracks from the likes of HaHaHa, Mr Scruff & Benga. Another one not to be missed.

They Took Our Jobs!!! // 15.11.10
Hey everyone, as you know we keep going with our city series. Last week we have told you that we were going to play tunes from Warsaw. Well - Michal left the town for some time and I didn't have the courage to deal with such a vast subject like Warsaw just by myself. That's the reason this week we are dealing with music from Upper Silesia. Silly me, the task was not easy either. Anyway, I hope that all you Silesians out there should be satisfied with a powerful musical representation of your area.

Students for Scarves and Charm presents an excellent mix of Scandinavian pop from Lykke Li, Oh Land, Robyn and Donkeyboy plus indiepop from The Felt Tips, The Blanche Hudson Weekend and Seapony and this week's Wish I'd Kept A Scrapbook is dedicated to moment of sheer loveliness from the Sarah Records back catalogue, Emma's House by Field Mice.
After their gig at the Captain's Rest last week, I finally get around to featuring Veronica Falls as an Unsigned Act. You can hear more amazing music from them at http://www.myspace.com/veronicafallshard and download new track Right Side of My Brain free from their website: http://veronicafalls.com/

Animal Hospital Monthly Check-up // 15.11.10
Today is the day we make our monthly pilgrimage across the central marshlands, through to the graceful concrete jungle that is Glasgow. Don't worry, we're leaving earlier this time - we've got it all sussed out.
As usual (or like last time, if you prefer) we're itching to get our filthy fingers all over the Subcity Technics. (Filthy fingers being a metaphor of course, we like to keep clean. Though Jase did spend the morning digging holes. He didn't find what he was looking for.)
So, tune in (if you prefer the classic radio experience) or listen back at your own leisure. We'll be casting our focus over our favourite playful frenchman, Julian Jeweil, and Claude VonStroke's influential imprint, Dirtybird.
Abso-bloody-exactly.

screenshrapnelmasochism
Like Luis Bunuel, Francois Rabelais and the Marquis de Sade, Screen Shrapnel are equally at home with the esoteric complexities of the human mind as we are with the debased shit stained gutter of mankind’s grizzly underbelly. (Well, maybe not equally.) Today we celebrate our postmodern eclecticism by discussing the high-brow humanism of Another Year, the latest film from Britain’s finest filmmaker, Mike Leigh, and the low-brow sadomasochistic delights of MTV’s No.1 export, Jackass.
Following on from the Jackass boys, the modern day inheritors of Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd's daredevil stunts, we choose our favourite slapstick moments from cinema.
The show’s also notable for the guest appearance of Chris Fyvie, the second most handsome and intelligent redheaded gentleman in Glasgow.
Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed
(ps: feel free to bombard Graham Fulton with abuse for having the bare faced cheek to praise Hugh Grant's bumbling English gent shtick one minute, and dismiss the rapid-fire wit of Groucho Marx the next.)

slanders, chats and cheeky tunes like its 1999
The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 12.11.10
Come back to 1999 with us with the help of Prince in our end of millennium themed show!
Joined by comedian Richard Gadd in Callum's absence, we meet and greet him, Sarah McDonald of STaG, and our producer, Connie.
All songs and hidden gems are from the glorious year, 1999.
Phonecalls to randomers, and Gadd takes on the home team in "Kev says shut it".
Also tune in for unintentional slurs and apologies.
If nothing else, the most controversial show yet.
Over and out Bacon Fries!

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 05.11.10
This week's show comes from various locations around Glasgow as Gareth K Vile navigates the IETM festival. Recorded live in the CCA, but featuring an interview at the Scotland Street School amongst others, the Radio Hour brings a variety of chat and as always a mix of guest selections on the playlist alongside Skinny Music Editor Dave Kerr's selections.
Gareth indulges in his youth with the return of Kyuss, having recently reformed in part, again there is a double header from Nick Cave, as well as some vintage 90s hip hop and another outing for Uncle John and Whitelock.

please welcome the majesty of vom!!!!
One day in the darkness of time and space, shape was given to a strangely beautiful creature that came upon us with energy and drone and melody. Sometimes the creature would not face us, preferring instead to look away, ignoring the many eyes transfixed in blissful contemplation. Noise swirling round our being.
So merely days ahead of a mouth-watering show in Glasgow, Chas from Vom joins the team with a heady eclectic mix of tunes and worldly wisdom.
Expect the unexpected, prepare to be moved.

We've dug out some Blue Note, Motown, Ze and Atlantic records with a whole side from a Decca album which was highly multi-miked, and closely miked to maximize impact of the instrumental sounds.

the extra special show
Pop Goes The Revolution // 12.11.10
This is one of the busiest episodes PGTR has ever had.
As well as all the usual features of Nikki's News, Nikki's Nostalgia, The Song Battle, and amazing tunes by the likes of Rosie Jones & The Mystery Machine, We See Lights, and Pagan Wanderer Lu, we also brought you a couple of special treats.
Nikki recently headed off to meet GmbH, the brand new magazine shop that has just openned in Glasgow offering a wide variety of popular and niche publications. Check out their awesome stock at www.gmbhshop.com
If that weren't enough, the brand new project by Washington Irving's Chris MacGarry and Kieran Heatherm, Let's Talk About Trees popped by. For their first ever public performance they played two acoustic songs live on the show, as well as giving us plenty of chat about dressing up as a tree, dancing in front of blue bed sheets, and just why and how they came to make an album about trees.
Tune into to hear the guys talk, as well as play the two live tracks. Oh, and if you like the tracks, they were kind enough to let us offer you the two live tracks and improved bitrate for free download below. Check it out.

not from the front, but from the side
This week: the frontmen take a rest and let their bandmates have a go - songs from singers generally limited to vocals on one or two tracks per album, from Keith Richards subbing for Mick Jagger in the Stones, to Lee Ranaldo letting Kim and Thurston take a back seat for Sonic Youth and Stephen Drozd reminding Wayne Coyne that The Flaming Lips isn't a solo project. Prefer Kim Deal to Black Francis? Flava Flav to Chuck D? Stevie Jackson to Stuart Murdoch? Get in touch via the show Facebook page or the Subcity forum before Sunday with your own favourites.

this week on the black lodge (zomg!1)
Whimsy, delight and a third thing reign supreme as The Black Lodge celebrates it's favourite songwriters and...songs. This episode will feature a heavily biased, subjective and borderline ignorant stroll down memory lane as scribes such as Warren Zevon, Leonard Cohen and other(s) get praised in an episode that is already being described by some as "being available to listen to on www.subcity.org.
Other highlights include bits of talking from the presenter between songs and details on an upcoming exclusive interview. Me-oh my!
Until then x

time for a funky anthem
Time for a break from pulsating beats (but not non-sensical ragga chat) and go for a smoother and funkier step. UK funky is the word(s) and the show will have a range from stndard floor filling anthems to crazier concoctions. keep it locked

live from studio with audience
Hunks, hunks hunks // 11.11.10
This weeks show is the best yet! (barring unforseen technical problems)
The resident Hunks, Joe Crogan & Frank Sinatron are joined by a LIVE studio audience. They loved every minute of it, clapping uncontrollable and laughing at all the great jokes. There were a few technical hick ups but we promise to get better at this.
Great tunes to match your great day! From your favorite pop hits to forgotten gemstones. We also had a live song from Frank called 'I wanna be freinds with your dad'
You can watch the video of it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1ktH3WIjdY
We also reviewed another movie, celebrite news and sports, as well as the usual segments, Hunk 2 Hunk, Hunkin' around and Laff & a Half

mid week madness with lucha libre
A slightly shorter show then usual last night - but teeming with quality tunage nonetheless. Locally produced music is becoming increasingly popular on our show with the true extent of Glasgow's talent becoming apparent. Our Local Hero award went to Barrientos for his mix on the new Peace track 'Sleeper', but we also had music from ESQ & Rob Etherson, Dersonna, Dajosm, Slow It Down & Daniel Donnelly - all Glasgow based.
Lucha Libre provided this week's twenty minute mix of Mash Up Madness which is without doubt a contender for mix of the year, plus this week's official Blog Burner went to Black Van - a new project between Kris Menace & Kowesix. All in all another big show, we even had someone trying to sell shoes via email.
Check it out.....
P.S You can download Lucha Libre's twenty minute mix from their Soundcloud at http://soundcloud.com/luchalibre

Alas, the mix is finally here...
Nathan is currently stowing away on a boat in the perilous midsts of the Baltic Sea, but luckily with the company of his laptop and a stolen jumper and internet connection. He lost signal not long after sending the mix, but managed to send this Morse Code message to me earlier this evening:
an old mix of mine, dug up and polished off, in place of Monday's no-show... emphasis on house, with a general contemplative mood...
this journey begins with a verbal contemplation, then delves into a troubled mind, continuing up, into space, where velocity increases and a new depth is achieved, the journey persists at speed, floating further into a sinister darkness
…well, that's all for now…
- Nathan 'The Borrower' Clydezoid
Well, there you have it. Straight from the mouth of the traveller himself.
Now take an hour aside to fully immerse yourself in this cosmic journey...

Whose Responsible This? // 11.11.10
Seriously, after this week's news trolling I want to put my head in a bucket and hit it with a spoon. Whose Responsible This? has words to state regarding stupid, stupid, stupid people spending too much money on jack shit, overdoses on stuff nobody until now ever thought was a good recreational drug, the chinaman most DEFINITELY being the issue here (Walter) and a trifecta of brief stories related to each other only through the ire I feel while uttering them. In addition, the playlist is a love note to my favourite game of the year, Red Dead Redemption... soundtrack ahoy! Join in Thursday at 14:00 for some smooth cowboy tones and taken-roughly from behind diatribe. Enjoy!

The Death by Radio Adventures // 11.11.10
Since the last episode's game of spin the bottle went so drastically wrong, Ciaran and Kirstin will be playing a game of something less dangerous this time. All hands on deck, because we're bringing out Battleships. Hopefully we will have some allies in this game of naval strategy. Email in your grid co-ordinates and who you are firing at (Ciaran or Kirstin) to studio@subcity.org or text the word 'subcity' followed by your taunts (eg "my pocket cruiser is bigger than yours.") to 07766404142. This oceanic struggle will have some suitably wet tunes from the almost-made-up genre of aquacrunk from Ciaran and some surprise tunes from Kirstin.
Tune in to www.subcity.org/subcity.m3u at 1pm this Thursday and enjoy.

happiness
The Red Room was literally drenched in happiness for this week's show, in which we discussed everything that makes us smile, and also played some very uplifting and (in some cases) slightly goofy music, all capped off with an emotional outburst by Thom at the end, not at all inspired by the touching story of an abandoned dog he told earlier. We also read some silly news stories and veered off on several different tangents, all in the name of happiness.

richard berry: the fall of the wall in context
On November, 9th, Twenty-One years ago, the German Wall separating West-Berlin with the Socialist German Democratic Republic fell. The Fall of the Wall was probably one of the historically most significant signs of the crumbling of USSR, and together with Professor Richard Berry, Director of the Department for Central and East European Studies at the University of Glasgow we explore the historical context that this event took place in.
We start our show with the historic clip of Günter Schabowski's misguided statement on the new visa policies, that lead to the opening of the East/West-German borders immediately on the same evening. Were the ill-informed statements of Schabowski an accident, a fluke of history? Rather not so. Hence, we discuss the economic situation, opposition movements, youth groups, the Gorbachev Factor and what it meant to live in East Germany and its fellow socialist countries.
In line with the theme, the musical aspect of the show is of historically significant songs.

An assortment of dub-infused music kicking off with more laid-back dinner bass ala' Seefeel/ Andy Stott et al - before heading into more contemporary Bayou's inhabited by the likes of Shackleton, Mala & Untold before ending with the obligatory Jetpack rinse out... We beg you to enjoy!

no show!
Apologies for the lack of show this week.
I turned my laptop on just before the weekend to find it had been badly water-damaged. I was hoping to have it fixed as soon as possible, but it seems that Insurance + Apple Repairs = a very long wait!
Nathan has kindly done a mix for us from the deepest darkest depths of Sweden, which will be up, complete with tracklist, as soon as his Scandinavian internet connection allows it!
Thanks guys,

Support Your Local Poet // 04.11.10
In todays episode of Support Your Local Poet I will introduce you to some new blood in the form of Futuristic Retro Champions, The Barent Sea and Jesus H. Foxx.
Winning Sperm Party are offering 'Snowbird' by The Japanese War Effort as a free download, here: http://www.winningspermparty.com/jwe 'Snowbird' is the originally self released debut album from The Japanese War Effort and is full of ambient and experimental pop from Martin Moog and co. It's well worth checking out.
Also featured on todays show are psychedelic pop lovelies from Glasgow: Haight-Asbury. Their new album 'Here In The Golden Rays' is available to purchase from Itunes from 8th November and they will be playing in King Tut's on the 25th November. You can hear more from them here: www.myspace.com/haightashburyuk and i'm sure you'll be just as besotted with them as I am after a wee listen.
Todays Poetry Corner feature is from Camera Obscura with 'Red, Red Rose' which was the B-Side on the single 'I Love My Jean'. Camera Obscura recorded this single after their third Peel Session where John Peel asked them to put music to the works of Robert Burns and this is the result!
See you in a fortnight,

biba nights // munroso goes tech : vrosnky goes of
Wow that Disco music from our last edition was still ringing in our ears so we thought of switching things up a bit for this one.
Munroso brought in a ton of great tech house which set us up in the mood for dancing.
Vrosnky came in fresh from 2 hours of sonic overload at Cry Parrot somewhat dazed but with some huge tunes which finished off the night in a big way.
This was a late night biba night.
Next time, its back onto the disco wagon with a special guest.
News to follow.

Since exploding onto the techno scene earlier this year with the Convolution Ep, Sweden's Skudge have found their way into all the big players record boxes. Still with only a handfull of releases on their own self titled label and a few remixes, they bring a classic-yet-fresh style laced with hypnotic beats, stealthily building chords and gritty baselines.
Quail & Turtle go back to back in the first hour

massive sounds
Source Tags and Mixtapes // 07.11.10
This week, Ross & J-Ham bring you a selection of mostly grand and epic (read: overblown) sounding songs. We spin a couple of soundtrack cuts too - you should definitely check out the "I'm Not There" soundtrack, as well as the Nick Cave & Warren Ellis double-disc soundtrack compilation "White Lunar". It's all good stuff.

whoomp!
This week saw us both back live in the studio for our 3rd show. In between all the hilarity, we brought you some tracks from dj's/producers hitting the Glasgow dancefloors this week and next. Covering three great venues for underground and electronic music, we had music from Girl Unit, Fake Blood and Emalkay to keep you on your feet.
Also, we revisted '1994' for our feature, 'Year of the week!". Rosa & Amanda battled it out over Tag Team's Whoomp (There it is) & M Beat/General Levy's 'Incredible', so far standing at 2-1 to Rosa! Get in touch on our facebook and tell us who represented 1994's dancefloor!
As always, we dedicated the last 20 mins of our show to 'Introducing...' various underground and upcoming dj's, this week we had a filthy electro house mix from Jeff Vader, which will be avaiblefrom downloadon our Tumblr page!

ain't no bees but definitely a buzz
The weather in Glasgow is ever changing at the moment so I pay tribute to Lemon Jelly's 'Nice Weather For Ducks' and rally you into prevent hibernation with a mix featuring HaHaHa's remix of Gold Dust by DJ Fresh, Fake Blood and The Avalanches. We take things down a notch with Nada Surf's cover of 'If You Leave' then bring it back up with new music from Korallreven, Golden Oldies from Deee-Lite, Blue Boy and DJ Shadow. Safe to say things are getting steamy... Love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes xx

8: james blake
Tonight Murdo turned up with a couple of bevvies in him, which instantly provided the basis for a good show. Add that to the amount of mad stories Cheesy was telling matched with Tanner's Tunes and Big Cunt's Clippings, and it was an all round decent show.
This week's round of applause goes to Euan 'The Eubotron' for his text to the Big Cunt during the week. Get on the listen again to find out what it involved. (It's towards the end of the show.)
If you missed out, have a look at the playlist, see if it tickles your fancy, and if it doesn't, who cares, the banter will make up for it.

soundtracks, sofritos & loud noises
Finally got this thing up.......
Last time around show was fast and furious, bringing you some favourites: Gold Panda, Darkstar, Jamie Woon, Royksopp, Burial, with some introductions: Kan Sano, Nottz, Vijay Iyer Trio, Kordan, and including some old Sofrito selections thrown in for good measure.
Never old, never new, but usually pretty decent.....

4 - introducing... mr lee "scratch" perry
Pipecock Jackxon, The Upsetter, The Dubmaster...
Chungo is playing at the Sub Club during the show this week, so Bungo brings you the first in a series of "Introducing..." shows, an introduction to one of reggaes greatest artists and one of the best producers of all time, Lee "Scratch" Perry. Perry is accredited by many with the creation of the reggae sound, and with discoveries such as Bob Marley to his name it is a sound argument.
Expect a few surprises as we take you on a journey through Perry's extensive musical career, from early reggae recordings, to collaborations with Mad Professor in the mid-nineties, to techno?...
Big ups!
Posted at 00:00, 7th November 2010
3 - champion sound!
With a few excellent themed shows coming up in the next month, we decided to keep it casual this week and provide you with a selection of some of our favourite Reggae, Dancehall & Dub tunes, and a interesting feature on the Star Bar Club.
Also, there's a fresh 25 minute mix from Bungo, including the chilled out reggae vibes of Dawn Penn to the darkest of dancehall by The Bug.
Enjoy!

reb leader
This week: live in session in the Subcity studio, local no-goodniks Johnny Reb (http://www.myspace.com/johnnyrebsound). There'll be live, right as they're played, direct to your ears tracks, there'll be chat about the band, they might pick a few tracks, there may even be a Very Special Guest (but given our past form in this regard, we're promising nothing). It'll be lovely, it will.

screen shrapnel: on the r(o)adio
“Get your motor runnin’ / Head out on the highway”, the musical mantra to one of the most satisfying of film genres – the Road Movie. From the classic Hollywood of John Ford and Preston Sturges through to the european masters of Wim Wenders and Michelangelo Antonioni, the literal and metaphorical journeys of the Road Movie have provided some of the most cinematic and moving moments in film history. Does ‘Due Date’, the latest male bonding shenanigans from Todd ‘The Hangover’ Phillips, starring miss-matched traveling companions Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis, meet the heights of ‘Planes, Trains and Automobiles’ or ‘Midnight Run’, the two quintessential buddy comedy road trips? Well, maybe not, but Graham and Jamie are on hand to reveal what they consider the best of the best from cinema’s rich pickings of Kerouac-esque journeys of self-discovery.
Also on the show we discuss the latest comedy of manners from American director Lisa Cholodenko, ‘The Kids Are All Right’. A film that’s definitely more than alright, Cholodenko takes a sitcom premise – ‘My Two Moms’ is surely being pitch somewhere in Hollywoodland as I type – and creates a hilarious and poignant family drama. And any film containing the acting talent of the lesser spotted Annette Bening is to be cherished.
Join us on the road to enlightenment (or is it the road to Hell?) on this weeks Screen Shrapnel.

theez boyz r athletes tonight!
Theez Boyz R Athletes // 06.11.10
Hell-o!
After last week's dimensional shift induced hiatus, Theez Boyz R Athletes are back! And we're glad to report that we made it through to Dimension B unscathed. Well relatively unscathed. Romance has acquired a taste for human flesh and Layman's knees appear to be inside out, but apart from that we're A-OK and raring to go!
As much as none of us like to admit it, as we sit around smothered in week old body paint, Halloween (or "Satan Day" as Romance and Layman like to call it) has been and gone. So pack up your sexy monk/sexy fish/sexy bus driver costumes, sweep the mountain of half eaten Freddos towards the bin, let the children out of your basement and join us tonight for some post scarefest mega tuneage.
Join us tonight at ten where we'll be easing you in to our new dimension with tunes from the Dimension B versions of all our favourite artists.
You'd be a ghoul (sorry, fool, Halloween's over) to miss it!
Theez Boyz

noise to caress you
Last weekend saw the clocks change as you know and most people merely gave a passing nod to the extra hour in bed and sighed, pleasingly and content. For at least some of us though, a vortex appeared and we were transported into a nearby time/space continuum where all that once was, changed. Not necessarily in a bad way.
And so in this week’s She Said, the mighty team have shunned the prospect of guests and will relax in their own company to bring you some very fine musical and sexual experiences.
Yum yum

dan le sac vs scroobius pip
Pop Goes The Revolution // 05.11.10
On this week's episode we play a couple of exclusice live recorded tracks by Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip. The guys recently stopped by Subcity to play a couple of songs in a dis-used bookshop at Glasgow University. Check out the songs and an interview with the guys on this week's show.
On top of that there is all the usual, a brand new tune by the Go! Team, and more obscure stuff from Butterflies On Strings, Tom Clarke, Rosie Jones, Hilary & The Democrats and more.
Posted at 20:02, 5th November 2010
there won't be fireworks...
Today's show was a little bit of a shambles to be honest, gid tunes though. Our guest Ryan got stuck in Motherwell so we instead spent the show being unfairly mean to him. Sorry about that. Johnny hilariously unveiled his new feature 'Gone But Not Forgotten', and our nonsence chat went from the Bloc girls toilets to some 'interesting' facts about fireworks night. One day we will actually have guests, in the meantime do yer ear s a favour and probably skip the talking bits...Enjoy.

The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 05.11.10
Tune in to this weeks extremely chat orientated show!
The lads navigate their way through the minefields of love, bonfire night, dik-diks, Santa's Butt Porter and so much more.
The show also features Callum's 'What's on' guide and Michael's hidden gems, but make sure you don't miss Kevin's unintentional racial slur towards the end of the show.
This week's sounds include Funkadelic, Frankie Valli, Guillemots and of course, the continuation of our homage to Prince.
Over and out, Bacon Fries!

the best episode yet!
Hunks, hunks hunks // 04.11.10
The Best Episode yet, or what we like to call episode 3.
On this weeks episode we had Hunks Extreme: Debate where we had a LIVE debate with the fans on some touchy issues (Hunks vs mini hunks? You decide!)
Joining us live in the studio we had local funnyman and Music Maestro HaHaHa talk to us about his recent gigs and brand new ep which you can listen to here http://soundcloud.com/hahaha
In the Hunks Advice burea we answered questions and querys on hunk health. We also managed to code some super fast audio, squeezing minutes of content into seconds meaning you get double the hunks, for half the cost, its simple.
Frank Sinatron reviews Shrek 2 for the second time, saying he didn't really give it a fair chance the first time.
We also played some fantastic music by Wendy Vanity (check out her youtube here http://www.youtube.com/user/wendyvainity)
Other music played included R Kelly, Nina Hagen, Death From Above 1979 and Laurie Anderson.
We'd also like to thank the fans and the station managers for giving us another chance after last weeks assault on Joe Crogan.
Truly we are blessed by Akatosh.

On this weeks show I'l be joined in the subcity studio by Dave Lowe.
As a longtime resident dj for Split D&B at the cabaret voltaire in Edinburgh, Dave's known for his tight mixing skills and diverse sets that span the full spectrum of drum and bass styles.

scream shrapnel 2: the revenge
It’s that time of year again, folks. The shuffling zombies and fetid gargoyles that parade the street of Glasgow week-in-week-out will be joined this weekend by Glaswegian youngsters only pretending to be axe murderers and bank robbers. Why? Because it’s All Hallow’s Eve, silly. To mark the occasion, Graham Frankenstein and scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis will be choosing for you good people the ultimate horror film playlist to scare yourself silly this Halloween.
We also miss Old Nick (Green) more than usual this week as we discuss a film that falls into his favourite film category. Namely: the hot American teen-girl high school comedy genre that Nick is such an expert in. The film in question being Easy A. For those of you who prefer your screen hotty to have a willy, were also discussing Gorgeous George Clooney’s sexy hitman-cum-gunsmith movie, The American.
These are the demented howls of Scream Shrapnel. Have a listen, you'll only be slightly terrified. And remember: Stay on the road, keeps clear of the moors and, most importantly, beware the moon!

mits postponed
Pop Goes The Revolution // 29.10.10
Unfortunately MITS were unable to make it this week at the last minute, but they will be back sometime soon.
However instead, because they were caught short Nikki and George had to play all the tunes they'd been hanging on to for a special day - so expect a few awesome new tunes including a brilliant track by house band Young Aviators.

twin blog burners, robo-step & minimal nonsens
With only six shows left before Christmas it's officially time to start packing them in, and last night was a perfect start with a total of 36 tracks crammed into two hours. We had not one, but two Blog Burners from Crystal Castles & Daft Punk, our Local Hero award went to Dajosm for his simply massive tech-trance number 'Fun Fuel', plus Kid Robotik provided a bass-squelching guest mix in 20Mins Of Mash Up Madness.
IT WERE WELL BIG
We also had a garage influenced Tea Time Rave Off and my nonsense chat was at an all time low...
Hurrrah!

nowhere to go but the open road..
We’re still refusing to sign the DNR on Fox News, and this week resorted to discussing Nearly News. That’s right, things that nearly happened in our lives – like nearly having enough decent content to fill a show, but not quite. This week’s playlist contains upbeat songs with a downbeat message, and to avoid you lot having to do any thinking for yourselves we’ve rounded up some of the internet’s best losers (otherwise known as songmeanings.net) to stroke their chins on your behalf.
Deadbeat club – ‘like a prayer that you say to yourself more than to god’.

More memos from the imaginary desk of WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS? coming at you. This week I shall discuss with you the newest developments in Batmannery, the one statement one never wants to hear regarding a dragonfly, better 3G access than what you would get in Urban Outfitters in a place with a higher population of interesting people: Mt Everest and a round up of the short news stories that make up the chaser to an otherwise unpleasant injection of factoids directly in your ear. This and music too! Aren't you the lucky duck. The show starts at 14:00 on Nov 4th. BE THERE.

craftsmanship
Virginia Woolf once said "to know who to write for is to know how to write", and the same thing holds for radio. Knowing our listeners to be a sassy, bold, adventurous bunch, we've carefully crafted a show to match.
This week we have Jane Goldman on the air to talk about Cryptic's audio-visual stage remastering of Virginia Woolf's Orlando for the Tramway. Also from the Tramway we have probably the most experimental youth group any of us has encountered, Junction 25, who are on to talk about Saturday's show I Hope My Heart Goes First.
The show went out the night of Initial Itch Live at the 13th Note, and we've decided to share some of the music from it with you - listen out for singer songwriters Adam Donen and Racheal Maclennan.
Next week STaG (Student Theatre at Glasgow) will be creating all kinds of artistic wizardry for the show in preparation for STaG Nights: Boom and Bust, and we'll have an interview with Grant Smeaton who will be playing Bette Davis in Bette / Cavett later in the month. Until then you can amuse yourself with this video from Grant.

no sleep dancefloor material ;)
Tonights show is focused a little more towards the dancefloor, Jonny and i showcase tracks that are really working for us at the moment and getting those bums shaking. However the distinct difference from our point of view is that these tracks still retain that depth that is often missing in the sea of Rubbish tech house that is out there.
First off i take you on a little short intro thats builds to quite a steady chug ! but then jonny chills things out mid mix in a way that perfectly demonstartes the NO Sleep vibe
hope you enjoy p.s Jamie Jones remix of Tom Demac is a total beast :)

ON THIS EPISODE OF MASHA WAS BEAMING
This episode is slower on the bpm but its pretty hefty stuff.
We were playing tunes from White Car, Low Limit, Aera, Metske....
It was pretty spacey, it was pretty crunk.
We kicked it up a notch as well with some big new tunes from Breach, Lone and Doc Daneeka.
There was also a Dopplereffekt tune in there.
Have a listen if you like the sound of that.

my secret world
Students for Scarves and Charm // 31.10.10
It's that time of year again when things go bump in the night, suspicious shapes fly past the moon and Halloween Specials are obligatory. Instead of digging up indie pop covers of The Monster Mash and Thriller, this week's Student's for Scarves and Charm is resurrecting the dead. I discuss Lucy Dawkin's forthcoming documentary about long dead but still legendary indie pop label Sarah Records and exhuming some of the label's classic releases from the crypt. The Wish I'd Kept A Scrapbook feature pays tribute to Sleater-Kinney's Good Things in honour of members Carrie Brownstein, Janet Weiss and Corin Tucker's separate musical resurrections.
There's also young blood to be feasted upon in the form of Sweater Girls, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and this week's Unsigned Act The History of Apple Pie who you can hear more from at http://www.myspace.com/thehistoryofapplepie .
You can also check out the trailer for Lucy Dawkin's Sarah Records documentary, My Secret World, here: http://www.myspace.com/thestoryofsarahrecords .

goodbye october
"Went for eggs into the Coombe, and to the bakers; a hail shower; brought home large burthens of sticks, a starlight evening, the sky closed in, and the ground white with snow before we went to bed."
Dorothy Wordsworth
Ah! October is gone, a sad occasion. At what other time of year does one have the opportunity to write a capital O so frequently?
It's autumn proper now. Are you all wrapped up? If not, come in, come in, there's space by the fire for everyone. As you rest your feet on the hearth, we'll regale you with a fascinating story - Thomas Joshua Cooper, a photographer who's made trips to both the North and South Poles, tells us about his work. Feel the sea mist roll in as you listen.Tropic Of Clyde this week is set in the foyer of a gentlemen's club on a bitter winter afternoon. But don't worry, it's warm inside. And if by then your toes haven't thawed, curl up and listen to our wonderful playlist - the ice queen Nico and a song about a lost jumper amongst the highlights. David and Rosie's tender voices will give you a good rub down, and the doubly-disembodied Sean will lull you to sleep.
And remember, before you nod off, get in touch on our blog or our Facebook page. Theme for next time: Food and Drink.

Live From Las Vegas // 27.10.10
Once upon a midnight dreary, while Shrivel Nelson relaxed himself into another night of picking out the factual inaccuracies in his favourite film, 'exorcist 2', taking notes on the back of his hand with a blunt knife between handfuls of jelly worms - suddenly he heard a sound. Surely, thought Shrivel, this must be someone knocking on my chamber door. The idea of someone wanting to see Shrivel at all filled him a terrific terror.
Shrivel hadn't had a visitor since a pizza was accidentally delivered to his address. He loved pizza but just so he would have something to say to someone he told the delivery man 'this is total bogal I'm no eatin this muck'.
Shrivel wasn't prepared for such an encounter again, one visitor is enough he thought. He decided to leave the door and pretend he wasn't in. After a moment the door knocked again, this time much louder than before. The sound shuddered the floor and trembled the walls. Terrible and bloody images filled his mind as he imagined what horror laid waiting for him behind the door. 'Go away', Shrivel said silently to himself as fear made his voice inaudible.
Again the door knocked louder and louder like the sound was moving closer, like the horror was growing. "Oh, I was just sleeping. Who is it? I wasn't ignoring you. I was just getting lots of sleep because I'm kicking chucks out of konts tomorrow. Don't mess..." Shrivel said as he approached the door. The knocking continued but now the sound was so loud it seemed to come from inside his head. He flung open the door...
Darkness there, and nothing more. He looked around fearful, but there was nothing and no one. Gently the air grew denser - he could smell pizza from some unknown source. He imagined it was two friends sharing a pizza in the flat opposite. Shrivel sat on the landing looking out into the dark lysergic void from which the distance opened its jaws, "you can kill me if you want... I'm so lonely".

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 31.10.10
This week, Ross was joined in the studio by Hamish Black(metal) of XMRV, Notebooks and Christfuck fame. Here at Source Tags, Halloween isn't just about staggering down Sauchiehall Street in a skimpy costume with chunks of sick down your breasts - it's about playing dark, heavy, abrasive and downright nasty music suited to the occasion. Join us as we go from black metal to sludge, grind and back again.
Disclaimer: no goats were sacrificed over the mixing desks whilst making this episode.

special guest ph1
As Indra is off away, back to native Manchester for the warehouse project (lucky buck), we thought, what better excuse to get old friend PH1 in for a special guest mix. PH1 has been djing for many years, and on this long time line, Patrick has amassed a healthy collection of vinyl spanning many genres. After both being blown away last week by his special garage mix up at the art school, we requested if he could come and do the same thing for us on the show. So this week its Rufftrax and PH1 bringing you sub-terrain, lock straight in.
Posted at 18:34, 31st October 2010
This Weds we've got half the fools (and that's me being polite) from The Twilight Sad (Fatcat Records) coming on the show for chats, questionable tunes (alongside my excellent selection), big laughs and some rappin' (it's their new thing).. do tune in!
Posted at 14:15, 31st October 2010
So, this weds (27th October)we're having a Creation Records theme in the run up to the film release 'Upside Down:The Creation Records' Story. Expect to hear felt, my bloody valentine, super furry animals, the pastels, oasis (yes, oasis) and some random tunes totally unrelated to the iconic label.

the bed that eats people
This week: the third LOTD Halloween broadcast, which probably marks the turning point between yearly custom and annual tradition. Backwoods American weirdness from Howlin' Wolf, Robert Johnson and Johnny Cash, spooky lingerings from Spoon and The Fall, Woody Allen's most uncomfortable Halloween ever and Patton Oswalt's viewing of Death Bed: The Bed That Eats People.

don't you dare forget!!!
Remember Remember it’s nearly November
When Graeme’s new tune’s will be banging and tender
But will we be seeing the inflatable shark?
Or will it be left at home in the dark?
These and other dilemmas were possibly addressed today in some enthralling debate on She Said, the nation’s number one show for salacious sordidness and musical loveliness. Barely a week ahead of the band’s ep launch in Stereo, Rock Action hero Graeme Ronald returned to his favourite radio show to talk to the masses, endear us with some of his favourite tunes and some EXCLUSIVE new Remember Remember tracks. Oh aye and then there was Graeme's very special guest......
Our breaths were suitably bated.

the next episode
Another episode of Bangers & Mashup is upon us, and this week we've got plenty to offer. Theres plenty of bass in your face tunes from the likes of Redlight, L+O & Velour, all mashed up for you to feast on. We also have, 'Introducing...', our 20 minute mini mix provided by the lovely Rebecca Vasmant this week, serving up a healthy portion of TECHNO! And if all that wasn't enough, 'Year of the week' has brought us to 1988 - the year our very own Rosa Higgin was brought into the world, as was Haley Joel Osment. It was also the year that Super Mario Bros 3 was released in Japan, and Red Dwarf first hit our television screens. However, who do you reckon has the track that'll take you back? Who has stepped up to reprsent? Get in touch on our Facebook page and let us know!

howling r&b on halloween with the funky cuts
Halloween originated in the pagan celebrations in Scotland and Ireland and they took it to the Americas where it became a big thing celebrated by people with or without religion. Whilst Christmas inspired a whole warehouse full of festive records mostly of a sweet and sugary nature Halloween and its associated ghoulishness has left us with a small but excellent selection of R&B and Rock and Roll records from the dark side. Hear some in this episode of The Funky Cuts.
What a swimmer is Dracula's daughter
But her pool looks more red than it oughter
The blood stains the boats
But its easy to float
Because blood is much thicker than water

hail satan!!!!
How in the name of Anton Lavey's nutsack I have managed to compile a selection of tracks that are evocative (in their own skewed or tangential way) of the fella downstairs with the cloven hooves and the dope as fuck horns without including The Misfits... one of my ALL TIME favorite bands no less... is quite beyond me. But I have.
I also managed to siphon off some seriously worthy tunes by the likes of Shackleton, Vodka Soap, Kams, Ludo Milch, The New Blockaders and a slew of others...
ANYWAY. I have but an hour to felch your earholes and here lies the last playlist and testament. Killer Juke moves, seminal UK underground proto-free Folk, bedroom bound and long time banned electronics, back from the dead Free Jazz, pyschedelic excorcism worthy soul and militant dub with a slash of Drag and a splatter of Black Metal.
Go on. I dare ya'.

the first show
It's our first show, and we're both equally nervous and excited!
Our first episode will including some great features such as song of the month, in which we choose a song that we think sums up the month that has just been, and News or Blues where we test each others knowledge of news stories and blues lyrics.
We'll also be playing some great tunes and will share our mildly interesting banter with you.

Episode 2! We did it! Congratulate uncontrollable guys! Thanks to all the fans for turning on the internet and tuning in!
On this special episode of Hunks Hunks Hunks, we debuted a number of new segments, including Laff & a Half, where we tell a joke and a half. The Hunks Advice Corner is where the fans can write in and ask us advice on how to be a hunk. This weeks query was "How do I be a better bf?"
We paid special tribute to Best Kebab (truly the best kebab joint in town!) and dedicated a little song to them that we wrote called "Pee Pee Matter" Keep up the great work guys!
We also played some Disney/baltimore classics, as well as Frank Zappas version of Purple haze.
Unfortunately the show ended on a sour lemon when someone burst into the studio and physically pushed me around and held me down. We will be releasing a sketch of the man and if anyone knows anything about it please get in touch

smooth grooves...
A BIG show last night on Subcity event though it was technically smaller. We were only on air for an hour and a half as I had to leave early to prepare for Naive at the Sub Club, but the tunes pumping through the studio monitors were PHat (yes, with a PH and everything).
This week's Blog Burner came from Digitalism with their new track 'Blitz' which is quite frankly the hottest slice of electro to penetrate your ear chasms this year. We also awarded Warschauer the tile of Local Hero for his super-slammin' new track 'Numbers Up', plus we got heavy messy in our Tea Time Rave Off before chillaxing with our Hangover 3.

it's a trap #1
Right, so It's a Trap! episode numero uno was a straight up mix, no chat, no info, nada! For better or worse...
Anyway it ended up being an assortment of old respected classics (UGK, 8Ball & MJG), a couple of somewhat forgotten but no less classic gems from yesteryear (Tony MF Rock, Odd Squad) plus a ton of slightly less than critically acclaimed, divisive trap rap from recent times (Waka Flocka Flame and co). For a first episode it was pretty good, despite some questionable mixing.
note to everyone: listen to Suga Free, everything, all of it, constantly

Though do not let this deter you from turning on at the appointed time as I offer my own perspective on the shattering of the third dimension, unwelcome reptile passengers, sending society's undesirable elements to space and a roundup of everything I can't pan out to a five minute dialogue where I cry and make a poorly worded retard joke. As this week's episode falls close to Halloween, I've decided to return to the well of Get Back To 8-bit theme shows and do a solid playlist of things not quite revealed but tied together by a common thread. All will be revealed on tomorrow's show, @ 14:00-15:00 so BE THERE.

regional dimension: the skottish space programme
////////////////////////
Keeping in touch with the geographical theme of last week’s show, it’s only right that I hop across the Atlantic and focus on some of the finest leftfield pop, beat makers, noise mongers, experimentalists and the current crop of innovators coming out of Glasgow and Scotland as a whole. The ingredients that makes these community of musicians from glasgow thrive is really quite an eclectic taste, but one that serves up to be rather potent, profound and brimming full of ideas.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
With exceptional record labels, promoters and club nights alike such as the LuckyMe family, Ballers Social Club (B5C), Cry Parrot, Winning Sperm Party, The Glad Cafe, Soma Records, Rock Action, Numbers, Huntleys & Palmers Audio Club, Halleluwah Hits and a whole plethora of others that I haven’t mentioned, Glasgow is constantly and consistently establishing new and exciting acts week in, week out, with only one stipulation to abide by.
////////////////////////
Which is to forget about using hallucinogenic narcotics to alter yer fragile MINDZ, because you won't need any after listening to this lot of creative individuals, as your brain and mind will spill out of YER eyeballs and onto the floor. So be prepared and ready to tear away the exterior of your cranium and subsequently let the interior of your HEED’S contents - the BRAIN - melt into a warm, fuzzy, gloopy, sticky mixture of comic plasma and let it wash away and evaporate within the atmosphere of the earth, weaving between matter and reality, down streams on mountain tops and soaring across the sky with feathered beings through a flurry of treetop branches.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Similarly to that of last week’s artists from the L.A. Series, acts such as Dam Mantle, Hudson Mohawke, Fox Gut Daata, Mike Slott, Ben Butler & Mousepad, Orzelda and DJ Idullibir Ultra Lepar have been peeling away initial rules and conceptions, pushing boundaries, seeking out obscure, pedantic, quirky, shamanic, tribalistic sounds to not only enthrall the listener but to also haunt them. If last week was a journey through swirling vortex’s and surfing planets, tonight is all about journeying back to our primitive roots, reaching back and offering a sacrificial devotion to mother nature in the hope that the weather witches, druids, and sorcerers of this planet have compassion for us now as they did to our ancestors during the dark ages, the age of the pyramids, and other such times long ago.

firsts
Firsts were on our mind when we recorded our first episode of The Red Room; first record, gig, instrument etc. We also stuck to playing side one, track one of every record we brought in. (Off) topic discussions included militant vegans, oppressive Italian mayors, and a disgusting little anecdote from Jenny. A tremendously satisfying debut.

2 - introduction fi dem
Last week was a good laugh, but this week we wanted to do something a little different.
Instead of just playing songs, we wanted to introduce ourselves and our taste in music for anyone who doesn't know.
So in this show we'll be playing songs for some of the many sub-genres of reggae music. Expect to hear ska, rocksteady, dub, reggae and dancehall as we share our favourites from the likes of King Tubby, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Bob Marley and more.
So stop reading this and hit that wee listen button to the right.
POSITIVE VIBRATIONS!

fade away
Last Thursday (21/10/10) it was announced that Ari Up of The Slits had passed away. It is without a shadow of doubt that she was one of the greatest female artists of our time and it is a huge loss in the history of post punk heroines. New Age Steppers ft. Ari Up were played on the latest episode of Kaleidoscope before the announcement was made. I urge you to listen back and enjoy the gem that was and will always be, Ari Up. love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes x

democracy in crisis!?
This week we discuss the claim that Democracy is in crisis. If this claim is true, what sort of crisis are we talking about exactly? Can we fix it? What about the gap between citizens and politicians? What about liquid democracy and liquid feedback? Tune in to hear what Indra, Christian and their studio guest Brandon have to say on the topic!

horror tinged ambience par excellence
With the eerie season upon us, Nasa take a look inside Jeff Goldblums leather grave to unearth a shovel-load of the strange, assisted by the haunting glow of Murcof, Alva Noto, VVM, Klimek & Pan Sonic et al. This is no mere bludgeoning to death in the back seat of a transit van, more the mere suspicion of being followed through a graveyard at dusk.....

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 28.10.10
No-holds barred horror show. None of your witches and wizards, just genuine real-life horror.

euro-nation on the streets of glasgow
Listeners already know Initial Itch to be a worldly, cosmopolitan show of global relevance. But just to drive the point home we get all European this week as the IETM (the Informal European Theatre Meeting) has chosen Glasgow to host its November get together.
Poorboy's Blood and Roses has been selected to be part of the IETM's artistic showcase, so we sent rambling man Colin Chaloner across town for a report from director Sandy Thomson and collaborating artist Jennifer Robson. It's a piece of promenade audio-theatre for the Tron, and back in the studio it prompted some lively chatter about iPads and audio tours, and about some of the other IETM work coming up, Fish and Game's Alma Mater and Dogstar's Tailor of Inverness included.
There's another audio voyage in store in the form of Harry Wilson's piece for the Forest Fringe's Travelling Sounds Library, called A Brief History of Sound. And the universal language makes an appearance too: music this week includes the chilling, unrelenting Amsterdam by Jacques Brel, Swedish hip hop from Snook, mellow electronica from Erland Oye, and of course Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk.

luke hess (detroit) guest mix
After a mighty night on Friday with Marcel Fengler & Ryan Elliott (who is officially the biggest party animal I have EVER met!) things are eventually getting back to normal....well sort of
This week we have a special guest mix from Detroits very own LUKE HESS. A personal favourite for a long time, it's a real pleasure to have this boy on the show. Expect deep electronics from the Motor City!
Luke Hess [DeepLabs / FXHE / Planet-e / Echocord / Echocord Colour / Beretta Grey / Kontra-Musik / Modelisme / Ornaments]
www.hess-labs.com
Born in 1980 and raised in the Detroit area, Luke Hess has harnessed a deep appreciation for electronic music and the expression of the underground movement. His background in mathematics and engineering have given him a scientific approach to the dance floor. His music production has landed him a seat with Beretta Music and FXHE in Detroit, Kontra-Musik in Sweden, Modelisme Records in France, and Echocord in Denmark. His first release on FXHE made it into the top 50 releases of the year in 2007 in Groove Magazine. In 2010 Luke launched is own interpretation of the Detroit Techno sound on his own vinyl label DeepLabs. With 10 years of DJ experience, he is regarded as a perfectionist behind the decks, layering records in a very detailed and hypnotic manner. Luke has notable mixes online and in 2003 recorded a promotional mix CD release for UR/Submerge. Luke’s continued hard work behind the decks and in the studio combined with his unyielding interest in technology and sound will no doubt stimulate the boundaries of electronic music.

whoopin' the blues
Matt Nicol, a friend and blues enthusaist, joins Tarantism in the studio to share his extensive knowledge of one of the most soulful and influential music genres of the 20th Century.
In its infancy, Mississippi Delta Blues encapsulated the pain and suffering of an entire generation of African-American slaves in the deep south of the USA, and moved north during The Great Migration of the 40s to the 'motor-cities' of Chicago and Detriot where the more modern "Chicago Blues' sound was born.
Matt takes us through this journey of music, as well has his own personal exploration of the Blues genre, and helps us realise how the majority of contemporary music as we know it lends itself to the music of the blue devils.

Whose Responsible This? // 21.10.10
Every waking moment has become devoted to Fallout: New Vegas. And restarting Fallout: New Vegas because I goofed it up. But now I wish to share all the awful news stories me and Ciaran discussed on the show last Thursday. Many thanks to everyone who listened in and apologies for all those horrible Black Forest Gateaux remarks.

autumn, again
Source Tags and Mixtapes // 24.10.10
This week, it's Ross and Emma in the studio again, playing music from albums released earlier in the year as well as some brand new music from The Phantom Band and A Sunny Day In Glasgow (you can grab the latter's new album digitally and for free until the end of autumn via this link.) Also, if you want music that's good for kids as well as adults then this week's "Off The Record" feature is the way to go.
Footnote: you should go and see "The Social Network" at your local cinema and get the soundtrack - we give you a taster of it at the end of the show.
Posted at 01:24, 25th October 2010
dig deep - the launch show
So that's the first show done and available to listen again! Tonight we focused on some of the choicest cuts of Scottish vinyl from the like of the Beta Band, Alex Harvey and Belle & Sebastian. Was also a great opportunity to play records made by those we have lined up to join us in future shows, Wake the President, Figure 5 and what a belter of a cover of The Clapping Song from Mother & The Addicts!
Also if you enjoyed The DT6 from Starla records, then make sure you keep tuning in to hear more from this local label who are producing and releasing some fantastic sounds....
So remember, dig deep but stay the hell of my patch!

cats
Live From Las Vegas // 20.10.10
# Did you hear about the cat who drank 5 bowls of water? He set a new lap record. # Did you hear about the cat who swallowed a ball of wool? She had mittens. # What is the difference between a cat and a comma? One has the paws before the claws and the other has the clause before the pause. # What do you get when you cross a chick with an alley cat? A peeping tom. # Why don't cats play poker in the jungle? Too many cheetahs. # What is a cat's favourite song? Dark was the night, cold was the ground

Students for Scarves and Charm // 24.10.10
Fresh from the Scandinavian pop sensation's performance at the ABC on Monday, this week's Student's for Scarves and Charm is dedicated to Robyn. I play the highs and discuss the lows of her Body Talk project and the new Wish I'd Kept a Scrapbook feature celebrates 'Be Mine!': 3 minutes and 25 seconds of perfection that sum up everything that is wonderful about Scandinavian pop music.
Inbetween all the Robyn are some of the Scandinavian pop highlights of the year so far and this week's Unsigned Act, fantastic Finns Paperfangs. You can download their free single from EardrumsPop here: http://www.eardrumspop.com/2010/10/20/epop006-paperfangs/ and visit them on Tumblr here: http://paperfangs.tumblr.com/ .

M: Yeah, well I had no other plans.
B: I thought you were writing your suicide note tonight?
M: Well... I was, but I don't know I just get so distracted and loose interest. It's depressing really.
B: Well never mind all that - have a drink! Come, you really must meet my friend Claire.
M: Is she good-looking?
B: No, but I didn't think that was your type.
M: I assure you it's the other way round.
B: Well just talk to her; she's so interesting. She's a writer and photographer. She's having her first novel published.
M: Bloody hell, I don't think I'm smart enough for this girl.
B: Oh she's lovely, she was just saying earlier how much she's enjoying meeting new people on her course at Glasgow Uni-
M: I don't think I'm going to have a problem.

After a few technical hitches, Bangers & Mashup returned to the airwaves on Subcity radio to dish up some random banter, a random assortment of bass riddled dance floor music and a 20 minute mix from Barrientos, featuring an exclusive remix of Megamegaman!
Also our new weekly feature, "Year of the Week" went off to a flying start with the year 1990, which saw our presenters battling it out over Deee-Lite's 'Groove is in the heart' & Snap's "The Power!" Give it the listen back and let us know on facebook who you thought represented!

the geek will inherit the earth
On this episode of Screen Shrapnel we celebrate the characters that don’t get enough appreciation: the arseholes. The heroes get the girls and the baddies get to have fun murdering and pillaging, but spare a thought for the omega-males (sorry ladies, the arsehole is almost always male) who don’t tip their waitress, cheat the protagonist out of their promotion or steal from their elderly mothers purse. To celebrate the release of The Social Network, the true story of how uber arsehole Mark Zukerberg got rich by shafting his mates, two other real-life dickheads, Jamie and Graham, will be choosing their top cinematic arseholes. Who are yours?
Also on the show: we gush over 'The Social Network', the film that will perhaps come to define the decade we called the Aughties; we give some faint praise to Matt Reeves and 'Let Me In', his english language adaptation of 'Let the Right One In', one of the finest films of last year; and we give a quick rundown of the films we loved at the LFF.
Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed.

and so it begun...
Deary me....Our first show came and went, there was laughter, tears, the occasional cough from Johnny and a moment of horror when we realised we might actually not be on air.
Nevertheless, it went pretty gid. We played most of what we aimed to and hope we set the scene for what we have in store for future shows. Important lessons learned include:
1.preparation should include more than a couple of scribbled notes, a drawing of an owl and a night spent listening to WWE wrestling themes and Fred Durst guitar solos.
2. I really need to stop using the words/phrases 'best ever' 'definitely' and 'a wee bit'. I also need to apologise for anyone who has ever encountered me over the past 19 years for the fact i have the worlds worst voice.
4. Johnny loves wooly hats.
See you in two weeks, Laura.

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 23.10.10
Following his release from a Tijuana prison earlier this week Hustlin' Hektor Ruiez met up with us on Wednesday to hand over this exclusive 'Woolworths' mix. 45 months inside one of Mexicos toughest jails has done little to alter the warped head of Ruiez, 61, and over a plate of his customary fish and eggs Hektor was keen to put to bed fresh allegations surroundng his private life. Both Layman and Romance were shocked recently to read about claims 'The Quiet Man of Bargain Bin Rave' had spearheaded a plot to secretly convert a Chilean primary school into a meth kitchen. We asked Hekto for answers and he gave us this mix. Tune in on Saturday night for all the sordid details.

Animal Hospital Monthly Check-up // 18.10.10
After battling M8 rush hour, wildly navigating Glasgow city centre, and shuffle-running over fallen wet leaves, Animal Hospital has made it to Subcity radio.
We kick things off with style, focusing our attentions on the mighty CLR as our featured label, and the atmospheric stylings of our featured artist, Edit Select. (Who just so happens to be making an appearance at Animal Hospital's first birthday party, November 11th, at Sneaky Pete's in Edinburgh.)
As baptisms of fire go, it was a relatively cool one.

soul power
This week: oooh, we've got a good one this week. Amid widespread discontent over UK public spending cuts and the impending doom of the US midterms, The Roots and John Legend have released Wake Up!, an album of politically-minded soul covers that prove upsettingly relevant to the current climate. So inspired, we'll be playing their stunning version of Bill Withers' "I Can't Write Left-Handed", and further soulful dissent from Billie Holiday, The Temptations, Black Star, Fela Kuti and Marvin Gaye's seminal politi-soul landmark What's Going On, this week's #1 Record.

"Blessings of Akatosh upon ye"
Many times someone has said this to me, and I've never really felt blessed. Sure I had a nice haircut and my timbies are real pert, but heck, I just didn't feel blessed.
Last week I got an iphone and it has changed everything. Emails, faxes, TV, music, photos, telephone, you name it the iphone has got it! Frank even tells me there is a program to tell you what to have for dinner! (what will they think of next?)
This week we played Mr oizo, Prince, Phillip Glass, Aural Vampire and of course we played some music made by myself and Frank Sinatron. Frank tells us all about the movies he seen this week (shrek 2) and I answer questions about how to save money on roller blades.

So last night we had Inverness based wonderkid Polymath in the mix bringing a big bag of freak-naughty shit to our twenty minute mix of Mash Up Madness.

On this week's WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS? Gerald and Ciaran Owens from The Death By Radio Adventures join forces in an act of defiance not seen since a few months ago when they did the exact same thing and had shows called different things. On-topic this week is the Chinese turd grabber, the further perversion of Isaac Asimov's foolheardy dream and the ultimate in drunken pay-per-view event supposition gets real, PLUS MORE. It's on subcity.org from 14:00-15:00, 21/10/10. So join in and allow the nerd kings of Subcity to destroy any female listeners' sexual identities.

worst chips ever # 1: god, heaven and kim jong il
The Big Man. Him Upstairs. Lifes Landlord. Allahnis Morrissette. Jah. Old Beardy Balls.
Lets be honest: your probably not down with God, are you? I mean, if we are to believe the capo-regime of the Catholic church (and why the hell wouldnt we?), our sceptered Isle is knee deep in a souless quagmire of "atheistic extremism" and "aggressive secularism".
Furthermore, if we dont all excercise absolute, rigid spirtual observance (and sharpish) we are all DOOMED to spend an eternity tootling on the Devils trombone along with the rest of the proto-Nazis in HELL.
In an admittedly brave and undoubtedly valiant effort on my part, I have decided to take up the Lords AK-47 and smoke some heathen ass with a Vatican approved play list that takes in pioneering turntablist sound art, work songs and field hollers, transcendent Detroit tech, depraved overlooked US HxC, apocolyptic high camp goth-folk, Buddhist cremation music and a staggeringly terrifying collage of hagiography dedicated to North Koreas very own demigod.
Worst Chips Ever: Jammin with the Lord since 2010.
Amen.

travis berkenstock, 38 tardies.
This is so unexpected, I, uh, I didn't even have a speech prepared. Uh, but I would like to say this: Tardiness is not something you can do all on your own. Many, many people contributed to my tardiness. Uh, I'd like to thank my parents for never giving me a ride to school, the L.A. city bus driver for taking a chance on an unknown kid, and, uh, last but not least, the wonderful crew at McDonalds for spending hours making those egg McMuffins, without which I might never be tardy.
Yeah so I was late. (gnarlz) oops. good thing heera and his magical music fingers were here to push all the right radio buttons in subcity cyberspace to keep things playing.
We've got a great show for you today, it's a mashup of dubstep, techno, garage and pop. We've even got a 20 minute guest mix from one half of Mia Dora, Rob Etherson, made especially for you with love, sweat and tears.
Lucky you

welcome to the weird and wonderful world of itch..
We've been branching out.
Chungo now brushes his teeth every day
Heera learned how to do his own washing. All by himself.
Sir loin learned the guitar chords to three lady gaga songs.
Markus worked out how to pee and fix his hair both at the same time. sounds messy.
Gnarls learned that asking for all the veg on your subway sandwich doesn't actually count as your full 5-a-day. pfft.
Such clever boys. We really are growing up. And in the name of learning new things we've taken our monthly monster of a musical extravaganza on air.
That's right, you can now tune into Itch! live on Subcity Radio every Tuesday from 2- 3. Straight after One More Tune! Bonza. In our very first episode expect nervous banter, great tunes, and plenty of mistakes.
onwards and upwards.

Our first show was never really going to be as planned was it?
Greenman finished up on the decks at Gambetta just after 12 and we were in the studio for 1am, ready to keep the party going, and we did, from 1am-2am, then 2am-3am as well...
Listen out for some mad skills and selection from Greenman as he appears live in session (twice!), as well as a collection of reggae and dancehall favourites from us, with everything from Alborosie to Iration Steppas.
Big ups!
Chungo & Bungo.

i didn't see it coming...
With the release of Belle and Sebastian's latest album 'Write About Love' last week, I take a look at 3 tracks from the album with one in particular that has inspired the theme for the show. I stray away from Love A Cover, Golden Oldies and Midday Madness Cure to take a look at songs that grabbed my affection on first hearing them. This includes Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, The Strokes, Best Coast, Washed Out, Wild Nothing, Mazzy Star and of course, Belle and Sebastian. "Make me dance, I want to surrender" Love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes xx

sleepless voyage: l.a. series special
It’s Earthly Matters first installment on Subcity Radio, so I thought I would treat youse all with a show that best sums up the universe that I immerse myself in, with a focus on perhaps one of most innovative and idea driven series of records to be released, throughout 2010 so far. All City's The L.A. Series.
With the first record having been released back in January of 2010 and only 6 records released so far it is a testament to the strength of the series so far that I will be focusing on it this early, as I am that excited by it!!!
The premise of All City's the L.A. Series is a collection of 10, 10”s, featuring two producers on each record, it focuses on some of the most exemplary contemporary beatmakers to come out of Los Angeles from various labels such as Brainfeeder and Alpha Pup, including Ras_G & The Afrikan Space Programme, Daedelus, Jordan Rockswell, P.U.D.G.E. and Carlos y Gaby.
Constantly pushing boundaries, and never succumbing to the trivialities of genres, rules, or established perceptions and conventions, the collection of producers featured on these unique releases are always consistently submerging themselves into deeper waters, always taking a step away from their comfort zones into thought provoking channels of connectivity.
Interchanging harmonious melodies, washed out wistful emotions, deep, murky, space laden souped-up synths, echo driven eccentric samples and abstract beats. Its a conduit of fluidic sounds so expect no perimeters, instead expect things to ALWAYS go off on a tangent and straying toward realms we’re yet to discover.
MATTRESSES + SLEEP = DREAMS + JOURNEYS = TO ANYWHERE IN THE COSMOS.

is that all there is?
No! We were just building anticipation for a Glasgay special brimming with delicious audio for your ears.
This week Rob Jones talks with award winning writers Louise Welsh and Zoe Strachan about their writing, their collaboration on Panic Patterns, and about what it means to be part of Glasgay in 2010. They've also kindly lined up a few tunes for us in the form of Tiergarten by Rufus Wainwright and Is That All There Is? by Peggy Lee.
We've snuck in a cheeky pair of sketches this week as well. They're called Touch the Fence and Janet's New House and they're by Fraser Boyle and Laurie Brown. Laurie's also performing as part of Glasgay in a show called UP which won a lot of praise at last year's Fringe and is now being shown at the CCA.
In keeping with the Glasgay theme, our pick of the week is the event Purple Against Homophobia, we have music from cabaret ensemble The Irrespressibles who'll be playing at the Arches in November, and we've unearthed W H Auden's own reading of his poem The Shield of Achilles. There's also some music from Brazillian punks OCIO, and we did record an interview with them too. Unfortunately the spirit of rock and roll seems to have turned the distortion up to eleven on this one and it's sadly not broadcastable.
But never fear! Fans of the Tron Theatre will know that Poorboy's Blood and Roses is set to be one of the big events of the year. We'll be back next week to interview its director Sandy Thomson alongside collaborating visual artist Jennifer Robson. So keep listening to Initial Itch as it sets your brains ablaze.

5: three's a crowd
Disco Disco Lovers,
We have sad news in that we will be without the Big Cunt tonight, which is a real blow. On a more positive note though, the situation surrounding his non-appearance isn't short of wonderful, so tune in to find out about it.
We'll be providing an update on what's happening in the world of Challenge Cheesy and how he's a big poof these days! Does this mean the end of Challenge Cheesy? We think that would be a bit too harsh. But we need some help for fresh ideas, since when the four of us meet up, things don't get past the vuvuzela and/or hot pants stage. Get in touch with your ideas via the facebook or send them to discodiscosubcity@gmail.com.
Other than that, expect the usual random nonsensical chat that has kept us at the top of the Subcity live listening table for the past two weeks. Let's make it three in a row!

Students for Scarves and Charm // 17.10.10
This week's Students for Scarves and Charm features new and forthcoming releases from Shrag, Spectrals and Eux Autres amongst others and classic indie pop from the likes of Life Without Buildings and The Slits. We're also treated from an impromptu and swooping visit from the show's producer, Pernilla.
I also introduced a new feature to the show, Wish I'd Kept A Scrapbook. Each week I will be choosing a song that I consider to be a perfect moment in pop music and cherishing it in an aural scrapbook. The first song is 'Superboy and Supergirl' by much loved indie pop band Tullycraft.
This week Unsigned Act is Bake Sale who evoke the dreamy pop of Au Revoir Simone and the mysterious and tragic girlhood and hazy summer nights of The Virgin Suicides. You can download a free EP by them here: http://doublephantomdigital.bandcamp.com/album/the-alice-ep (Which is actually called The Alice EP, not I Left My Heart In Memphis. My bad.) and visit their myspace here: http://www.myspace.com/bakesalememphis .
You can download 'Go Dancing', a free and legal download from Eux Autres' forthcoming album, Broken Bow here: http://www.largeheartedboy.com/blog/archive/2010/10/daily_downloads_2429.html and 'Chip A Tooth (Spoil A Smile) from Spectrals' new Extended Play Ep plus some older but still awesome tracks by him here: http://pitchfork.com/forkcast/14956-chip-a-tooth-spoil-a-smile/ .
See you next week,

This week's show is heavy on the electronic, with some new material from Sufjan Stevens and Flying Lotus. Elsewhere, it's business as usual - we tell you where you should be on the 5th and 6th of November, talk about free music, and ponder over why more things don't have werewolves in them.

pay no more than nothing
"Tom has eaten kidney and pigeon-pie, and imbibed coffee, till his little skin is as tight as a drum; and then has the further pleasure of paying head waiter out of his own purse in a dignified manner, and walks out before the inn-door to see the horses put to."
Thomas Hughes
Are you under the illusion that one penny is worth 1p? If so, our show on the theme of Money this week will put you to rights. We've an interview with Hiram, an Edinburgh-based coin collector, a picture of whom you can see on our blog after you've listened to the show. We've got a track from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop that's played on tills, a song about a Securicor guard and a bloody great cover of Goldfinger. Sean finds out he payed more than he should have done for a Billy Bragg album and reveals the financial benefits of smoking, and Rosie is officially the richest person in the studio, home address supplied on request. Tropic Of Clyde this week is set in a creepy ossuary, where our hero Anselm makes a bad decision. Our theme-bola has decreed Cold to be the theme for next week, so send us your ideas on the blog or our Facebook page. Anyone know any polar explorers?

ex-wives in gigging action shock horror.....
They shout, they use bad language, they are splendidly crude, their plectrums are metallic, the silent moments in their songs can catch the unaware, they were once good looking, they are sometimes lazy shites, they have a new bassist, they are none other than the mighty EX-WIVES and She Said is totally gay for them.
So tonight, Alastair and Noel from the band joined us for some top tunes, teasing tittle-tattle and a look ahead to their long awaited return to live-ness next week.
Yaaaas!!

album cuts
Felonious has taken a shelf load of albums and tried to identify some soulful tunes that were not available on 45rpm seven inch singles.
Most sixties albums were put together with a couple of recent hits by the artists, maybe their B sides, R&B covers of other people's pop hits, a couple of tunes the producer just had in his valise or in the case of Motown tunes from Broadway musicals.
There's one album by The Drifters with every song bar one available on a 45. Felonious will be playing that Bar One unless he finds a rare Swedish only seven inch single.
As well as the Drifters the show features Aretha, The Isley Brothers, The Staples, Jpe Simon Lulu and Mose Allison

Pop Goes The Revolution // 15.10.10
After spending the first few episodes of this series ogling over the summer releases that had been sitting waiting for some proper air time for far too long, we finally decided enough was enough. So we've gone back to basics with an episode of more obscurity than normal.
It's the first episode of Pop Goes The Revolution with not a single Scottish Act, instead they're from as far afield ad Pennsylvania to Plymouth from Brighton to Bristol. We've sent off the internet scout party, and come back with some brilliant tunes from across the UK.
We also played: a total of 14 completely unsigned releases. 13 songs by artists never played on the show before. 8 tunes that can all be downloaded completely for free off bandcamp.
Been about time we got round to a solid episode of totally new music.
Tune in and coming globe trekking with us, as we travel through the uncharted, new musical lands.

how not to do a radio show...
So last night's episode of Synth on Subcity was a wee bit of a shambles it must be said. You can tell when I put in some serious prep work and when I don't, and last night was definitely an example of the latter. Don't get me wrong the music was as usual AMAZING...so much good dance music about at the moment! But with CD's skipping, seismic shifts in the studio and my cue points all out of sync things got messy....quickly.
However, new music came from Sigma, Treasure Fingers, Wolfgang Gartner & Chromeo, our Local Hero award went to Pasty32 for his exceptional new track 'Clerkenwell', we had the obligatory Tea Time Rave Off, plus N.E.R.D & Daft Punk provided this week's Blog Burner. Listen for a bit of a laugh and some well decent tunage yo.
Back same time next week with Polymath in the mix. x

too much
This week: it's been one of the biggest weeks of new indie releases of the year, with eagerly anticipated albums from Sufjan Stevens, Belle and Sebastian and The Walkmen debuting all at once. We'll be talking about all three of them - The Age Of Adz, Write About Love and Lisbon, respectively - on Sunday's show, so leave your own opinions on any or all of them over at the show Facebook page or on the Subcity message board before then. Also, we've got a reputation to maintain as the one Subcity show guaranteed to play a bit of Mark Kozelek at the first hint of autumn, so the #1 Record is Red House Painters' Down Colorful Hill. But we'll play some cheerier stuff to counterbalance it too, promise, so don't start sharpening those razors just yet.

Coming to you through the spectrum of infinite scale for a solid two hour WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS, Ger and Zan will discuss topics FOR A WHOLE FIVE MINUTES before going on multiple tangents and unrelated wankery including, but not limited to, the genuine bona-fide three course chewing gum, how to best ruin another shitty Michael Bay movie, more reasons for girls to hate on their adorable little elf-like ears, Russia's inflatable military and more costumed schenanigans of a criminal nature. All this plus the constant thumping of the soundtrack I guarantee is better than at least 15% of the other shows on Subcity.

joyful beginnings, depressing endpoints, and lions
It's Monday the 11th, and October swimmers Rob and Steve are getting their trunks on for another hour of Glasgow based creativity, and lions.
Gabriella Baronello is in the studio this week with an excerpt from her new play He Was Happy. She tells us a little about the motivation behind the work, the relationship between depression and art, and fills us in on the recent shake up at the Mitchell Theatre. You can see He Was Happy at the East Kilbride Arts Centre on the 15th of November.
Later in the show, Colin takes five with artists Joanna Susskind, Bruce Cameron and Bryan McDowall at the Toad's Caravan launch night. Listen out for their reflections on animation, web design, the Pet Shop Boys, filmmaking, and what REALLY went on on the set of The Illusionist. If you're interested in commissioning work, collaborating with the artists, or in the Toad Talks (a series of live/webinar presentations in the vein of TedTalks), then you can find all the info on the Toad's Caravan website.
Listen out also for Steve's erudite deconstruction of the work of 'Big Taj', while discussing our Pick of the Week - Ankur Productions's Playback. It's at The Briggait in the Merchant City, from the 14th of October until the 23rd, at 7.30 p.m. It's described as part gig, part road movie, part theatre, and it sounds phenomenal.
Next week in the studio we'll be interviewing award winning novelists Louise Welsh and Zoe Strachan. Welsh was nominated for the Orange Prize in 2003 for her novel The Cutting Room, while Strachan received the Betty Trask Award for Negative Space. Together they've created a new play called Panic Patterns, which is showing at the Citizen's Theatre from the 19th to the 30th of October. It's just the beginning of an entire season of theatre, comedy and film that forms Glasgay! 2010, so you can look out for more from that festival to come. We'll also be heading backstage for a chat with up and coming band OCIO, which means we'll have some new music for you too, so stay tuned!

simon says...
Tonight on Argonaut Sounds our special guest selector is well-known Glasgow reggae-ite Simon, who'll be dropping in to spin a few of his favourite tunes.
We'll also be building up to our night at Blackfriars this Friday, with our usual mix of everything in a Jamaican-stylee.

Record Collector Zane Hunter made a return visit to the Subcity studios bringing with him a fine selection of soulful tunes to be played on Soulful Allsorts. Zane pulled out a few sides that had presenter and no mean record collector himself scrambling to get on e bay before any of the show's listeners got their bids in for some of Zane's rare gems. Check out the playlist but listen to the show and understand why we're excited by the records.

They Took Our Jobs!!! // 11.10.10
Okay, the world is not perfect. We all know that. However... What if it was perfect? How would it look like? How would it SOUND like? Anyway, here is our concept on how the ideal pop would sound in ideal world (unfortunately, that's not pop - we just wish it was).

For our episode on the theme of Clothes this week, we've got an interview with the illustrious Ms Ruzzak, costume designer and fastidious knitter, and she tells us how much fabric goes into one costume (it's a lot). Tropic Of Clyde is set in a plush haberdashery, and we find out a bit more about the mysterious league of foxes that comes to prominence in the Scottish future. Any ideas for songs other than the beauties we've got for you this week, please post on our blog. Next week is MONEY! We'll make you feel wealthy and corrupt.

tarantism 25 - le geek, c'est chic!
This is by far the strangest theme we've done yet.
I, Marco, am prepared to admit I am a geek. And I was even more-so of a geek a good few years ago when I was in school. Thankfully I have with me in the studio another self-confessed geek, in the form of Daniel Sneddon.
The theme for this show is the music from Computer Games. Daniel and I both agree that one of the biggest parts of playing a computer game, whether it be on a PC or a gaming console, is the music. A massive amount of time and effort goes into the production of gaming music, which is often designed to create a specific atmosphere that fully engrosses the player in the game.
It is therefore up to us to try and prove this to you, as we play a bundle of tunes that will be sure to exercise your nostalgia.
Thank you,
Tarantism

john daly (feel music,drumpoet) exclusive mix!
For the first in a long line of special guest mixes here on Animal Farm Radio we have Ireland's don of deep house JOHN DALY
Hailing from Cork, Ireland, John Daly first surfaced in 2005 on his then newly founded label, Feel Music. Since then he has recorded for numerous labels, including Plak Records, Drumpoet Community, IRR, Mule Musiq, and Francois K's Wave Music, on which he released the acclaimed album Sea & Sky in 2009. In addition to his own material, he has remixed for Labels such as Rekids, Running Back, Compost, and Poker Flat amongst many others.
Born into a musical family, he has been composing music since his early teens, starting out in bands, but moving quickly on to the studio environment, and working with machines, a love of which he retains to this day, still preferring to work with real instruments as opposed to virtual ones.
A product of Cork's vibrant club scene of the 90s, and drawing from a broad range of influences, his music seeks to break down the barriers between House Music, Disco, Dub and Techno. These past 5 years have seen him take this sound to dancefloors across the globe, from NYC (Cielo, Sunday Best) to Berlin (Berghain, Watergate, Tape), London to Tokyo (Air), Sydney to Moscow (Propaganda) and in between.
In addition to launching a second label, One Track Records, focusing more on peak time sounds and alternate versions/DJ tools, 2010 saw him debut as a much anticipated live act. He now spends a large portion of his studio time making music exclusively for these live sets, with it's focus firmly on the dancefloor. Often tailor made for specific events/venues, much of this new material will never be released, in an attempt to create a real world experience in an increasingly digital, online age

Students for Scarves and Charm // 10.10.10
Students For Scarves and Charm is a slight Elizabeth Morris fest this week, featuring tracks from both her bands Tender Trap and Allo Darlin' and much embarrassing gushing about her in general. Continue the love by listening to her solo acoustic track Tallulah here: http://allodarlin.bandcamp.com/track/tallulah . Plus, FortunaPop! are offering Allo Darlin's blissful new single 'If Loneliness Was Art' for free download here: http://www.fortunapop.com/free_download.php?id=16 and you can see the band larking about in the sun in their new video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u_CQ836Wpc
You can also download 'Closer Now', a free non-album track by Club 8 here: http://pitchfork.com/forkcast/14897-closer-now/
Internet Forever are rather belatedly featured as this week's Unsigned Act. But hey, any excuse to celebrate their super cute but hyper-literate and lo-fi music, right? Hear more from them at http://myspace.com/internetforever and catch them at Edinburgh Popfest on the 23rd of October.
I noticed that I mentioned ABBA twice during this week's show. Perhaps it's a sign that I am subconsciously excited about news that they might be reuniting: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2010/sep/30/abba-day-before-you-came Though, surely when you become a museum piece you're fossilized like a dinosaur and don't get to come back to life again: http://www.abbaworld.com/

screen shrapnel never sleeps
If you can remember the 80s, you weren’t there, man. Believe it or not, both Graham and Granddad Dunn are too young to recall the decade that fashion forgot, save for hazy half remembered visions of Scooby-Do cartoons, dancing to Jive Bunny at birthday parties and a scary old witch in a blue shoulder-padded blazer and sensible shoes who stole our milk. But if we ever need reminded of those dark days we flip on the DVD of Oliver Stone’s 1987 Wall Street, a film which condenses the years of Reaganomics, bad clothes and big hair into a 100 minute faustian tale where a young Charlie Sheen sells his soul to Michael Douglas’ Gordon Gekko, a slick haired shark with a mobile phone the size of a toaster and a talent for spouting zeitgeisty slogans. Will youngsters growing up in the 00s be looking back to Oliver Stone’s sequel to understand the insanity of our current financial institutions? Have a listen to find out.
As well as the crooks of Wall Street we also discuss the more loveable blue-collar thieves of Ben Affleck’s The Town. After his impressive directorial debut Gone Baby Gone, he’s back in Boston and back in front of the camera for a muscular heist film in the Heat vein, with some added romance.
Finally, Graham delves into the back of his DVD collection to reveals a Dirty Little Secret: he loves Ocean’s Twelve, the unwanted ginger-haired bastard child of Steven Soderberg’s Ocean’s trilogy. But can he convince Jamie, a card-carrying Sorderberg-sceptic, that it’s more than just a glorified holiday video for Clooney, Pitt, Roberts et al.

blue sabbath black fiji take subcity by storm!!
What can we say about the awesome Blue Sabbath Black Fiji? Once upon a time, Charlie and Janin descended on Glasgow from their respective European homelands and proceeded to make the most awe-inspiring blend of rhythm-laden, oft improvised, beat drenched noise a soul could ever desire.
So in a frenzy of last minute activity, the band pre-recorded some exclusive live tracks for She Said in the afternoon and then joined the team in the studio to inspire us with their sounds, influences and tales of extensive touring across the wilderness lands of the USA and the Lake District. And yes, we were dancing to the gay disco choons in the studio, what of it?!
Get ready to be truly amazed

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 08.10.10
With visits from Playback's Bigg Taj and Nikitta, and Ray from The Skinny, Gareth K Vile heads in a hip-hop direction, pausing only to hear anecdotes about Flying Lotus, the Sonar Festival and the dodgy space somewhere in the East End.
A hip-hop heavy early playlist gives way to the usual mixture of rock and classics from the past: Gareth remembers lost love and make-up music thanks to the Cocteau Twins: a coup[le of suggestions for the week, excellent technical support and bemused tolerance from Harry, and it's like two hours only lasted for one.

Whose Responsible This is back again this week providing some degree of pre-game warmup to the weekend and acting like the worst pregnancy craving every conceived, something I believe 2% of first year student girls will know plenty about in a few weeks time. On-topic this week I discuss the Japanese sticking the brains of rats in a robot body, When crazy gets a gun and finds you on the internet HILARITY ENSUES, The magnetic powers which determine your favourite "me time" hand and a roundup of the brief stories which deserve everyone's ire. There's the music of course which will buffer you between periods of my insufferable voice. Join in Thursday afternoon @ 14:00 live or download it later and use me as the soundtrack to your awesome single lifestyle.

languages - the case of the nordic languages
Indra and Christian talk to Krister Vasshus about Nordic languages. What makes Nordic languages distinct languages despite being so similar? Kirster explains the differences between languages and dialects.
Also, Christian rambles on about language acquisition. The recommended paper here is in a special edition Behavioral and Brain Sciences 29 (3), which should give you a comprehensive overview about this rather fierce debate.

important notice!!!!!!!
Just signed a partnership with RED BULL! Tonight I'll host a competition in order to win a pair of tix for "Red Bull presents Thre3style" with KISSY SELL OUT and friends.. Only on Subcity Radio!!!!
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Red Bull presents Thre3style
Sunday 10th October 7pm – 2am
Glasgow School of Art G.S.A.S.A 168 Renfrew Street Glasgow G3 6RQ
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
KISSY SELL OUT INTRODUCES RED BULL THRE3STYLE TO GLASGOW
This October, Kissy Sell Out and A-Trak will be bringing the largest DJ competition in the world to the Glasgow School of Art with Red Bull Thre3style, the DJ battle that takes the art of spinning to a new level.
Starting on the 10th October 2010 in Glasgow, the Red Bull Thre3style tour will also hit London (19/10) and Cardiff (20/10) with the final hosted again in London on the 17th November (17/10). The winner will receive an all expenses paid trip to Paris for the grand final, time in Red Bull Studio London and a cheque for £1,000.
Red Bull Thre3style began in Canada three years ago and is now one of the biggest international DJ competitions in the world, taking place in ten countries around the world with the final going down at the end of the year in one of Europe’s most notorious party cities, Paris, France.
In the UK, Kissy Sell Out will head the search for the next party DJ, performing as well as judging at each event:
“I’m really looking forward to Red Bull Thre3style and putting some of these talented DJs through their paces. It's going to be a great competition and I can't wait to get on the road.
"For me, the main thing about being a truly great party DJ is not just the technical skill, but the ability to wow a crowd and keep them going all night. That’s what we’ll be looking for over the next few weeks."
To enter, DJs can send a link to an mp3 mix to redbullthreestyle@uk.redbull.com and all DJs will have to play off the same set up – 2 x decks and mixer – no mixing programmes are allowed and DJs are judged on track selection, creativity, mixing skills, stage presence and crowd reaction.
The rules of Red Bull Thre3Style ensure that the competition is a perfect marriage of technical DJing and party rocking prowess. Participants have to play a selection of at least three genres or styles of music in 15 minutes. It doesn't matter what genres of music are chosen as long as the DJ can make them work together.
Internationally, the competition will be held in Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Columbia, France, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, UK and the USA, making the event the most global DJ competition ever seen before. Each country will hold qualifying DJ contests and the top national DJ will compete at the final in Paris in December 2010. The winner will be the first international Red Bull Thre3Style champion and they will have the crowds’ official stamp of approval that they can rock the party like nobody else.
Good luck!

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 03.10.10
This week's show is a pretty loud thing, the centrepiece of which is a passionate, desperate plea for the listener to check out "Deathconsciousness", the debut album (and only full-length to date) by sublime home-recording duo Have A Nice Life.
What else do we have here? The introduction of a jingle, actually. And some balls-to-the-wall heavy-ish music all-round. The come-down? A brilliant new track by Deerhunter from their new album "Halcyon Digest", which is amazing, despite your views on the artwork. Get in.

Pop Goes The Revolution // 01.10.10
Well, we didn't plan a theme when we made the playlist, but it turns out there was a theme in there... of sorts. So tune in for two hours of Nikki and George debating over whether the word 'Wall' really does have a geographic justification, or whether they should've just stuck to Thurso being the only geographic mention.
Either that, or tune in for some awesome songs by old favourites Admiral Fallow, Endor and Cancel The Astronauts as well as some new boys like Butterflies on Strings and Humanizer.

The horror...the horror... No, I'm not talking about Elizabeth Berkley's acting in “Showgirls”, that's brilliant. I'm talking about the primordial horror that is Joe Dante's “The Hole”, the gruesome horror that is Adam Green's “Frozen”, and the artistic horror that is “Peepli [Live]”. All three are reviewed on this week’s show.
As well as this pre-Halloween fright-fest, we’re also discussing the aforementioned Ms. Berkley and the horror show that was the critical mauling that greeted her 1995 feature starring debut “Showgirls”. The winner of eight Razzie awards, including the ignominious worst film of the decade award (only L. Ron Hubbard adaptation “Battlefield Earth” has won more), Paul Verhoeven’s Las Vegas set extravaganza is perhaps the most misunderstood film in cinema history. On this week’s show one Shrapnel member defends its honour, arguing that it’s one of the great satires of the American Dream and the Star-is-Born films that perpetuate its myth.
Have a listen and join Graham and Jamie as they enter the heart of darkness.

more twelve inch singles
I used to buy twelves to play at gigs full price or at at the price of a seven inch during the first week of their release from chart return stores like West End records. Stuff that flopped could be bought at the Barras and ten years ago when I was DJ'ing at Strathclyde they were clearing out the ents cupboard I was allowed to take a couple boxes of vinyl away. Some of my collection from the likes of Rose Royce, Baby O, Joe Bataan, Hamilton Bohannon, Asford and Simpson and Candido will be featured in today's Funky Cuts.

checking in, god, ireland and dramatic musicians
This week we went down to the Arches to record the Arches Live Check-In, a discussion about the future of Arts Funding led by Lucy Gaizely. If you'd like to chip in your two cents to the discussion, Lucy can be contacted at lucy[at]thearches[dot]co[dot]uk and the Save The Arts campaign is here. In the second half of the show, Michael and Rob chat to local singer-songwriter Matt Regan about Arches Live, Music, and Ireland, among other things.
In addition to several excellent tunes from the norn iron song monkey himself, we have music from welsh nutjob Euros Childs and poetry from the also very Irish Paul Durcan, just to hammer the Irish thing home.
Don't forget that next monday we'll be bringing the performance love to the stage of the 13th Note Cafe once again, with music from resident musician The Paraffins and performances from many others besides at Inital Itch. Be there if you love this kind of thing.
Next week on the radio show we'll be hitting up the Arches once more for some exclusive coverage of Hole In My Pocket's sunday sermons. Until then, much love.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 01.10.10
Between pondering the return of New York No Wave celebrities SWANS and looking forward to the opening of Leann O'Kasi's Dirty Promises at the Tron, host Gareth K Vile chats about the Mental Health Art and Film festival, introduces Skinny travel correspondent Ally McLeod and finds out about the connection between Glasgow burlesque and Japan.
With a fine playlist curated lovingly by Skinny Music Editor Dave Kerr, this Skinny Radio Two Hour visits the Phantom Band, The Twilight Sad, obscure religious cults and an Art Club Cabaret in East Kilbride.

heading for the cosmos!!
If you're lucky enough to have experienced the mighty Cosmic Dead live, you'll be clinging on to vivid, joyous memories of hugely engaging and melodic psychedelic drone submerged in enough intensity and dry ice to leave you disorientated and breathless completely unable to find the way back to the bar, your seat or indeed yer sanity!
She Said have become huge fans as you shall hear in the weeks and months to come and this Saturday, we welcomed 3 band members to the studio for some tales from the other side and of course their very own selection of tunes which as we anticpated encomapassed the sublime to the ridiculous!!
Come and join the fun.

unfinished sympathy.
"you're the book that I've opened and now I've got to know much more" In this weeks episode, I take a look at some of Bristol's finest artists in Golden Oldies. As well as hearing the latest from Belle and Sebastian, Deerhunter, Com Truise and treat ourselves to some Joanna Newsom, Laura Marling among so much more. Unfinished Sympathy. I'd listen to it a hundred times over. Love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes xxx

streets of rage // cheer // fox gut daata
With Bring Your Piece, we thought we would provide the kind of welcome to Glasgow we would want. So in a tent sat outside the University’s main building, provided by the SRC and stocked with free strawberries, apples and raspberries from the West End grocer Andersons, we assembled a tasteful, mid-afternoon soundtrack to aurally disseminate the shitty vibes of the PR rammy. A Fresher's Week no-niche music programme in a week when chart music clubs give out endorsed hoodies, "Me No Speak Americano" is on repeat and n00bz cut about in t-shirts.
So with t-shirts abandoned, Streets of Rage blasted their 10 minute, 190bpm hardcore to a tent full of pizza-eaters, geeks and potential drop-outs.
Cheer brought some electroacoustic serenity to University Avenue, meandering his guitar strums over the hiss of a reel to reel spinning into a gathering mass of sound. Heaviness through lightness. Darkness through brightness. The Boho team manager hardly even saw it coming.
Beats producer Fox Gut Daata said he gets turned off by music made specifically for a club, his compact, bustling electronic jams testified to his disregard of tailor made, 4/4 boredom.

ninja tune's birthday
So the wonderful label Ninja Tune is 20 this month. How time flies by, it seems like mere moments ago we were all a fuss over their tenth anniversary retrospective Xen Cuts. This time they've outdone themselves with a splendidly giant future-spective XX box set, so tonight from 9pm on Build + Destroy we'll be showcasing some of the best cuts from this fine selection of exclusive new music alongside carefully selected releases from the consistently brilliant back catalogue. Happy Birthday Ninja!

beard radio with special guests time!
Postponed from last week, tonight's Beard Radio is essential listening thanks to the wonderful musical selections made by our special guests Frances Morgan and Mark Dicker, aka Time. French synth prog, Italian horror, kosmische, Turkish krautrock, harsh noise and an exclusive new track from Mark's other band, Trencher. Live at 6pm then available to listen again at your leisure. This week's scheduled NZ underground show has been postponed, but we hope to have Lo-Fi Bri in soon for a Kiwi noise party.

mid week mash up business...
Another BIG show last night on Subcity Radio! Can't tell you how happy I am with our new slot this year, 3am on Sunday morning was just dangerous on so many levels but a 6-8 on a Wednesday evening is just perfect (mainly because I'm not off my tits). So last night new music came from the likes of Tiga, Toddla T, Russ Chimes & Screendeath while our Local Hero award was given to Salvador Navarette for his haunting track 'Ballet'.
This week's official Blog Burner came from Passion Pit with a hot new mix from Grum on 'Sleepyhead', while we also encouraged you to get messy with your alphabetti spaghetti in our Tea Time Rave Off. Finally, MGCK of Mixed Business provided this week's 20Min Mix Of Mash Up Madness. Nothing but big tings!
I also need to tell you that we'll be taking the sounds of this show to new weekly night 186 Bath St at Hummingbird next Wednesday for a night of proper mash up business. I'll be bringing a couple guests with me to turn up the heat and it will also be a rare occasion when I actually indulge in some mid-week boozing which should be fun! More info soon...

Whose Responsible This? // 30.09.10
Once again the broadcast slot has permitted me room to soak myself in the guts of internet drudgery, swallow them whole and vomit them back to you in another episode of WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS? Coming at you this week is the news of giant squid murder and how it relates to Japanese erotica (or doesn't really, I just made the connection), the new ambassador for Earth to our inevitable alien overlords, The possibly most ironic death but not really though it is very lame EVER and a roundup of everything terrible happening on the internet which doesn't warrant a five minute conversation but I'm going to lump together and force feed you like spam and chocolate. Join in with me tomorrow at 14:00 and email me confirmations of your lack of respect.

What, this week's show was organised enough to have a theme? No, you weren't dreaming - but we certainly were!!!!! Yes, that's right, dreaming and sleep was the theme to this week's show (just check out that playlist) a topic universally agreed to be fascinating to all involved. Elsewhere Fox News was given a new lease of life, sound effects caused many minutes of pleasure, and the Royal Handbook got a public airing.

This week we invite our friends Andrew Winton & Eddie Wagner along for a chat and a guest mix to promote the launch of their new night AV, which while providing top class tunes also focuses on Film, Digital Art & Animation.

Live From Las Vegas // 21.09.10
I am a city slicker. I read the metro on the tube. I buy my lunch from Pret A Manger everyday. I never wear brown. I read the posters at the bus stop. On weekends I go for drinks with a few friends at either Wetherspoons or Yates's. We talk about the traffic in this city. I buy my clothes from the high street shops but I'm not against using the internet. I update my internet status everyday. I like to stay connected. If I'm running late for work I'll just hail a taxi. I buy the right magazines for men every month. I like to eat out at restraunts, my favourite is Italian. I'm a city slicker. What's my perversion? I like getting spanked while dressed as a giant baby....

female vocals
Vocals are a massive part of music, whether the voice is used to sing lyrics, or is used for its sound as an instrument.
Female Vocals stand out for me due to the large range of emotions they can convey. The different songs on this show demonstrate the use of female voices to create soothing, intense, upbeat and even spooky songs.
Enjoy!

Unfortunately there won't be a show tonight due to Tom catching something vile and nasty. He'll be necking the vitamin c and ibuprofen all week though and we'll be around next week.
In the meantime, get a hold of the new Outer Space album 'Stereo Constellations: Surveillance From The Star Room'. Really good stuff from John Elliot (Emeralds) - lots of heavily layered, trippy electronics. You can pretend we are broadcasting :)
Or just listen to the two past episodes. Sit Tight.

the return of the beast
Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites // 27.09.10
After the long, horrible months of summer, the cold has finally returned and with it comes Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites.
As seems to now be the tradition for the show, I'll be cramming as many different genres as possible into one hour. Since I'm a big fan of Doom and its bed fellows, this may result in only three songs being played but I'll do my best to crowbar in some Grindcore and Black Metal.
There will be a small change to the show this year as I'm now in the 3rd year of my PhD and spare time is becoming as fleeting as a side project involving Greg Anderson. So from now on the show will only be once a month. Hopefully this should give me plenty of time to compile some rib grindingly brutal tracks.

Jordan decided to come back this week so that he could persuade Ross that Neil Young is good, and stuff. This week's show consists mostly of just released/about to be released music. We spun material from upcoming No Age and Neil Young records. Did you like the Das Racist and John Vanderslice songs? Those tracks were just tasters. Grab the new Das Racist mixtape and the new John Vanderslice EP free and legally, son! Thank us later.

diggin the 12 inch is back on subcity!
Yo.Yo.Yo.
Diggin the 12 Inch has already been broadcasting for two weeks but we've been a little slow getting things sorted. Now, after playing the fantastic "Subcity Stays Fresh" at SWG3, we're back attacking the radiowaves. Our first show consisted of our sets from Face Down Ass Up Vol.2 while the second show is dedicated to the "Subcity Stays Fresh" event so we blasted our sets from that night plus our tune of the week: Pariah "Detroit Falls".
This week we're back with an hour of deep house, downtempo, garage, loads of bass and the first "Demo of the Month" so make sure you tune in at 22:00-23:00 on Subcity Radio (www.subcity.org/listen).
Next week MashaWasBeaming will be visiting our show with a special 20 minute Juke set while theres also going to a fresh cut from Raksha and a whole bunch magic banter!
Keep it Real, Raksha & Pippo

2: challenge cheesy
Disco Lovers,
Tonight brings a return to the show/debut for Glasgow's Premier Shagger, Wee Cheesy. It's been a long awaited return to radio for the man who makes most of Murphy's Stories seem lame in comparson. The first Challenge Cheesy of the year is indeed for the Man Himself to actually turn up for an episode of Disco Disco.
Other than Cheesy possibly turning up and him amusing us with his Summer antics (and believe us when we say, they are literally unbelievable), we have a bunch of chat and some good tunes lined up as per usual.
So do join in on the action and if you can't get listening live for some reason, get on the listen again. If you've got time and missed last week's show, the listen again is online in case you want to do a bit of catching up.
11pm-Midnight. Do it. xx

Whose Responsible This? // 23.09.10
Oops, a few days late in posting because I got completely sidetracked by Dead Rising 2. Many thanks to those of you who listened live and then on the download, your patronage shall be rewarded. Here are this week's news links so you can see for yourself WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?
If this is now considered part of their university library, is every early 20s student's bedroom an annex?
As Zan pointed out, a new trend of putting trousers on statues will soon emerge. Personally I'm going for the full body sock which I shall then moult off and terrify with.
Ah yes, Google Instant. Because those nine seconds you're saving were the real decision maker on whether or not you genuinely wanted to see the opening sequence to Thundercats for the umpteenth time.

twisted sister/brother/father/mother
After last week’s fatal mother/son relationship in Herzog’s “My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?” we’ll be discussing three more films that explore dysfunctional parent/child dynamics – “Mother”, from the genre blending mind of Bong Joon-ho, the Robin Williams starring “World’s Greatest Dad” and Ozark set hillbilly thriller, “Winter’s Bone”. The question is though: what is cinema’s most twisted filial relationship? The Screen Shrapnel team delve into their traumatised cinematic pasts to choose their favourite fucked-up family units.
Similar to a family bond is the director/actor unions that form through multiple film collaborations. These tight knit relationships have created some of finest films ever made – think of the trio of gangster films from Jean-Pierre Mellville and Alain Delon, the string of 80s masterpieces from Woody Allen and his muse Mia Farrow, or Hitchcock’s quartet of pictures with Jimmy Stewart, where the rotund englishman morphed cinema’s blue-eye boy into a dead-eyed old pervert. But who are today’s great director/actor team-ups? Forget your Burton and Depp love-ins, the Soderbergh and Clooney vanity projects or the shaky cam shenanigans of Greengrass and Damon, for our money the most consisted Hollywood director/actor team-up of late has been the nutty Dadaist insanity of Adam McKay and Will Ferrell (“Anchorman”, “Talladega Nights” and “Step Brothers”). Tune in to hear us delve into their riotous new collaboration, “The Other Guys”.
And finally, it falls to Graham to reveal a dirty little secret: he likes “Sleepless in Seattle”, the 1993 vomit-inducing snore fest from perennial purveyor of puke, Nora Ephron. But with Anthony Lane and Amy Brennan in his corner, can Jamie convince him of the error of his ways. Tune in to find out.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 24.09.10
A heavier playlist than usual, with tunes from The Melvins and Envy jostling with more gentle entries from Sage Francis and Joanna Newsome. Chris Hall pops in to chat about his performance at The Arches - a performance that needs no performers, it seems - and Art Editor Andrew Catternick arrives with news of two new exhibitions near the Clyde.
Host Gareth K Vile manages to cut himself off before he gets into his favourite topics, with an extended playlist from Misic Editor Dave Kerr.

straight back on it...
So we're back after a big long summer off air and our first show was all about getting back in the groove, relocating my radio voice and constantly adjusting mic levels. Thankfully it was also about some AMAZING music. Somehow we've managed to convince Subcity programming to let us loose over two hours this year so we've introduced some new features to get your rave juices bubbling.
In this episode we crowned Dirty Basement as our 'Local Hero', an award given to the hottest locally produced track over the last seven days, with contenders coming from Mausr and ESQ. We encouraged you to 'get messy with your Alphabetti Spagetti' in our Tea Time Rave Off, plus B-Tone, resident of Spectrum provided this week's 20min mix of Mash Up Madness. This week's Blog Burner was a hot new remix from RackNRuin on a B-Side single from I Blame Coco and we also had an essential run down of all the hottest parties going on in Glasgow this weekend.
Shit starts at 3Min 30Sec....
While I'm at it, I'll also point you in the direction of our new Blog which is focused on bringing together the finest Glasgow has to offer through interviews with promoters & DJ's, reviews & previews of club nights, plus lots of mixes and streams of the hottest new tunes from Glasgow's many local producers.
Check that sheet here: http://www.synthesiseglasgow.blogspot.com/
In the meantime we'll be back next Wed from 6-8. Boom time. x

what we did on our holidays
This week: hey, this week we're back! It's been over three months since the last show, so we'll be playing catch-up with stories and songs from over the summer, as Chris recounts the horror of his encounter with the Shoreditch wankers (and, to a slightly lesser extent, Peter Hook), Producer Anna talks about whatever the hell she's been up to and Kanye West asks if you've ever had sex with a pharaoh. Business as usual then. Be there be square, Sunday, 2pm.

we return....
Pop Goes The Revolution // 24.09.10
Man, it's been a long time.
The summer took a healthty chunk out of our lives, and we disaapeared for a while. Nikki was working, George was sitting in a corner somewhere moping, overall this mean that the Revolution has stayed somewhat off air as of late.
However just in case you thought we would dissapear without trace, then you can stop worrying now. The hiatus was no cause for concern. Instead we have gone away, refreshed, stock up the record collection, dusted off the mp3 players, and returned.
Pop Goes The Revolution returns for SERIES 3. We have new ideas, new features, new songs, and a new lease of life. The weasel is back happier than ever.
Tune in. We return.

i hear a symphony
Students for Scarves and Charm // 19.09.10
Doesn't music always sound better when it's free? No necessarily, as anyone who's ever ignored the open guitar case of a busker on Argyle Street can attest, sometimes it's just a less costly ear sore. But, as promised on the show, here are some fantastic free tracks that you won't catch performing the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack outside Marks and Spencers:
Download The Radio Dept.'s 'The New Improved Hypocrisy' here: http://www.labrador.se/hypocrisy/ and get an idea of what the song is about by watching this propaganda video by The Sweden Democrats: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9VuW6vhV-E. It would be funny if it was a parody.
And The Sound of Arrow's remix of 'Young Blood' by The Naked and Famous here: http://www.popjustice.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4964&Itemid=206. In the words of Popjustice: "quite literally amazing".
You can hear more from this week's Unsigned Act Swimsuit at http://www.myspace.com/swimsuitsounds and enjoy a free and legal copy of their sold out 'Life Like' EP here: http://www.mediafire.com/?4wu766sqyb7mof6.

shall we buy a ski machine?
With a new year and a new term but the same old deadbeat club, nostalgia was the order of the day. As well as sharing some particularly horrific first year memories, we aimed to introduce any new listeners to what deadbeat club were about last year. All the fumbled song changes, dodgy fading and periods spent chortling into the microphones were actually all part of an orchestrated plan to give freshers a taste of deadbeat club in its early shows. Now you too can feel part of the show, from its earliest roots! Its humblest beginnings! And not because we underprepared. On top of that (as if you needed treating any more!) we play some of our favourite post-punk and new wave tunes, and take part in a live studio debate as to whether or not we should purchase a second hand ski machine.
And so the new run of shows begins, not with a bang but a whimper.

what do you want? information!
"The times have changed in nothing more...than in the rapid conveyance of intelligence and communication betwixt one part of Scotland and another."
Walter Scott
Courteous listeners, we present you with The Co-operative as it has never been heard before. Our music this week explores different facets of Information - Jill Scott is paranoid, Doctor Rockit sings a hymn and Kraftwerk beep. We speak to the archivist and librarian from Glasgow Women's Library, who tell us all sorts of fascinating things about their collection and the hot topics in archival theory. We also have Information Flow, the first instalment of our sci-fi serial Tropic Of Clyde, in which a mysterious package makes a convoluted journey from London to Glasgow. Set in an indeterminate future, it involves trains, forests and spies, and the internet has become a dangerous weapon to which few have access.
Check our blog-in-progress. We'll be posting information and contact details about out interviews and scripts of Tropic Of Clyde, as well as pictures and our map of themes. Let us know your thoughts - you can talk to us on or blog, or email us at glasgow.cooperative@gmail.com. Keep your ears peeled for our next show on the theme of Clothes.

rpz @ stereo!! friday 24th sept.
RPZ is BACK!!!
Sounds - Hushpuppy, Bonjour Boi Visions - Joe Crogan
Friday 24th Sept 2010. Monthly @ STEREO Cafe Bar. 22-28 Renfield Lane 11-3am £7/5
Friday September the 24th sees RPZ step into their next monthly gig at Stereo.
For the last eight years RPZ have built a totally unique space for themselves at the top of the Glasgow club scene, with only former Sunday night institution Optimo and Death Disco as their immediate superiors. Created in 2002 the night gradually, steadily grew and by 2004 RPZ was established as a consistently PACKED weekly institution. RPZ firmly put thursday night up the Arty firmly on the map with their resident based line-up and intermittent scene-breaking live acts. Week after week premiered new sights and new sounds to Glasgow's ravenous party denizens, while creating a blueprint for the merging of sound and visual elements that would be lifted by many clubs following in its wake over the next six years.
At this new weekend residency in Stereo, the RPZ crew intend to continue with their mission to thrill the senses and challenge the ears of their faithfully followers both old and new. Collaborating with vidéomatic maestro Joe Crogan, they will be creating a dazzling new visual treatment for Stereo, with a unique manipulation of video-loops, images and eye-popping polygonal animations. The disco-duties as always will be ably handled by RPZ residents Hushpuppy and Bonjour Boi. This bedrock resident duo will be keeping the dancefloor teetering somewhere close to the edge of total rhythmic ecstasy with a super-diverse selection of digital rhythms spanning decades of electronic club sounds. Expect an irresistibly danceable blend of jerky diskotecas, street-beat boogie, cybernetic soul, galactic disco, Rimini sound, italo stylings, Oz-matic house and anarchic tech-beats.
RPZ - making laser beams, in your dreams.

tenuous linx
Source Tags and Mixtapes // 19.09.10
This week J-Ham couldn't make it, so Ross was joined in the studio by special guest Emma Goldie. You may remember her from the two-and-a-half hour High School Special.
Featured on "Off The Record" was the new Japandroids single which you can download here, as well as a new Radio Dept. song which is also available as a free download.
We tried to be topical this week. Today was International Talk Like A Pirate Day, but we couldn't be bothered talking like pirates so that didn't really work out. Oh well, at least we got to spin a cool Lambchop song. We also tried to apply an America Addio-influenced harvest theme to this show, but it was a tenuous link to the rest of the playlist to say the least. Still, it's probably safe to say that this is the only radio show on Subcity that has played a song by a vocally auto-tuned synth-rock artist whose album is about agriculture 'n stuff, so we're adding that to our list of achievements. That list now has one thing on it.
Emma also takes charge for "I Care Because You Don't" and impresses Ross with some late 80s/early 90s fuzz-pop courtesy of Black Tambourine. Feels good man.

1: we're back! (so to speak)
It's been a summer of seeing the world for 75% of Disco Disco, while Cheesy has been up to his knees in bass for most of his. There's a lot been happening over the summer basically, and we'll be bringing the most entertaining of what's been happening to you.
There's loads of new features on the show this year, including Challenge Cheesy and the Big Cunt's Clippings. That's on top of Tanner's Tunes and Murdo's Musings (alliteration at it's finest...). Be sure to tune in at the slightly later time of 11pm.
Music - check. Chat - check. New features - check. Big Cunt, Murdo, Cheesy, Tanner - check. Professionalism - well, no one's perfect.

screen shrapnel, the wrath of klod
“Ecstatic truth. I've always tried to strive for a much deeper truth in the images, in cinema, in storytelling, on a screen, so whether I've achieved it or not remains to be seen. . . . There are short fleeting moments when I know that I have achieved it. And to work for that and to strive for it and to try, gives at least some dignity and some meaning to my existence.”
-Werner Herzog, from "Herzog on Herzog"
After gorging on the bland characters and cliched plots of the summer blockbuster last week we delve into the far more nourishing cinema of Werner Herzog, director of German New Wave classics “Aguirre, the Wrath of God” and “The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser”. The Bavarian maverick’s latests search for aesthetic truth, “My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?”, sees him teaming up with Michael Shannon, an actor who can give Herzog regulars Klaus Kinski and Nic Cage a run for their money in the wild-eyed lunacy stakes, for a tale of matricide and madness. Graham and Jamie also look back across Herzog’s prolific career to pick their three personal favourites of his films.
Oedipal themes and borderline personality disorders are also present in “Cyrus”, mumblecore movement directors Jay and Mark Duplass’ major step towards the mainstream. Jonha Hill plays the titular momma’s boy weirdo who starts a battle of wits with his single mother’s (Marisa Tomei) new suitor John (John C. Reilly). The three leads are outstanding, but how is the film as a whole? Have a listen to find out.
Also on this week’s show, we introduce two new features: Dirty Little Secret and Something for the Weekend. Neither are as sexy as their risque titles suggest.

Live From Las Vegas // 21.09.10
The religious figure, dressed in white, climbed down from his high-chair in the car and slid his feet towards the lectern. He made sure to avoid the eye contact of those hundreds watching him lest they see his sunken, snake-like eyes. He clutched tight to his gilded crucifix and drew on the strength of being bigger than the little silver man dangling from the cross in his hand. As he stared out at the crowd, ensuring to keep his lids low, he saw not people. No, it wasn't lives with feelings and desires, hopes and dreams; all he saw was bovine. They're mouths drooling with anticipation of the sex advice they'd receive from the geriatric virgin on stage.
"Condoms are sinful", croaked the old toad after checking with the voices in his head he believed to be divine. Without question the crowd accepted these words as being as true as the facts of their own histories and memories and salivated for more.
Suddenly then a man appeared as if suddenly coming into existence only in that instant and was standing next to the old pensioner in white. His clothes were ragged and his appearance scruffy but in his face there seemed to be the glow of human kindness - the light that cold souls crowd around.
"I have returned!” spoke the young man in a gentle voice. "I have returned to tell you that you must stop all this. This is not right. Divinity lives within and divinity lives without. You must find your own truths and your own Lord within yourselves. Do not believe without reason the words of one man but rather find the words yourself and together through brotherhood and charity. This smelly old peadophile can't help you find the answers any more than Jeremy Kyle or Live from Las Vegas can. See the words in the book not as rule but as a guide. A guide to finding within our own souls our own gods and this way we may all be master of our own life".
Before the softly spoken man could continue the smelly old peado gestured with his claw, and an instant later the young man was shot.
'Still, it's better than that last Tom Jones comeback', thought a member of the audience.

the return of the mighty argonaut sounds
After what seems like a long, cold, summer Argonaut Sounds Radio Show is back on air for what must about our 10th year on Subcity (or getting close to it anyway). We've spent the summer putting on soundsystem nights, making mixtapes, skankin' to carnival vibes, and trawling London's vast array of record shops for the finest reggae dynamite we could find - we've got so much new stuff we're dying to play there's no room, or need, for a theme to the show tonight.
If thats not enough you can catch us at the CCA this Saturday from 9-12 spinnin' some tunes before Mungo's Hifi at the Art School.

scottish identities and red balloons
...and we're back. After a summer spent plugging away in the sweaty basement of the 13th Note Cafe we're back on the digital airwaves with a fresh coat of paint and some new thoughts for you. On our inaugural show of the season, we speak to Harry Wilson about Helium, his show at this year's Arches Live! festival, and Steve interrogates his growing sense of Scottishness. New boy Colin Chaloner also digs himself into a narnia-shaped hole banging on about our Pick of the Week, the James Morrison Street Party this saturday.
This all comes washed down with a dose of music from local boys My Latest Novel, Mogwai and Errors, amongst others, as well as poetry from Itch favourite Richard Hugo and Itch perennial Stephen Redman.
Don't forget to get in touch by emailing initialitch[at]flatratestate[dot]com with your thoughts, comments, contibutions and outraged missives. You can also check out our website at www[dot]flatratestate[dot]com for loads more info.
Next week we'll be continuing our coverage of Arches Live! with interviews with Katherine Nesbitt and Chris Hall, among other irrelevant things that will inevitably creep in. Stay tuned.

tarantism 23 - summer 2010
Welcome back to Tarantism on Subcity Radio.
I, Marco, have had an excellent summer this year, full of great memories and great music. I've been to seen a massive number of bands and DJs at a variety of music events, club nights and festivals.
It's difficult to fit an entire summer's worth of music into one 1 hour show, but I've tried to pick a collection of songs that represent the diversity of the music I came across since our last show in June.
As for Nathan, I cannot speak for him. We are confused as to his whereabouts right now... but will try and find out during the course of the show.

Whose Responsible This? // 16.09.10
Having spent the day making preparations for the first episode of Whose Responsible This? I realised that the old theme tune for GBT8-bit had to be abandoned and a new one formed which is much better, so there. No complaints from the old listeners please. For you new ones though, I hope you realise what a treat of scifi, geekology and pop culturehood you're in for come Thursday afternoon when the nerds of Subcity get their timeslots. Listen in live or listen again on the download at your convenience! I guarantee at least on instance of nerd-boner. A nerd-on if you will.

Animal Farm returns to Subcity on a new late night slot!
To kick things off I thought I'd bring in friend and No Sleep promoter ADAM WATT.
No Sleep sees it's second outing in Glasgow on the 25th September with German dj producer LANGENBERG supported by homegrown talent in the shape of Edinburgh's JACKSONVILLE. Really looking forward to this as Langenberg is a personal favourite of mine and I know the No Sleep boys can thrown a party! Adam joins me in a back to back 2hr deep-a-thon.

source tags & mixtapes, series 2
Source Tags and Mixtapes // 12.09.10
We're delighted to announce that Source Tags & Mixtapes is back for a new series. We now broadcast at 5pm on a Sunday evening. This means that people could actually be listening live, so we'll try and up our game from here on out - honest.
The first show of the new session sees the start of a new feature, "Off the Record", where we'll be playing great music that didn't make it onto albums. This could mean b-sides, rarities, covers, live cuts and bootleg snippets... You get the idea. To launch this feature we played a track from the Adult Swim Singles Project - a compilation which includes 8 exclusive singles from 8 artists. You can grab the whole thing for free here.
Regular feature "I Care Because You Don't" is going to be returning each week too. This time, Ross tries to sway J-Ham towards The Microphones by giving him a taster of their best work. Also appearing on this episode is a new instrumental El-P track from "weareallgoingtoburninhellmegamixxx3", which Ross reviews here.
We've never played Women or Nachtmystium before on the show, so those bands make their Source Tags debut here. Oh, we almost forgot... How can we debut a new series without playing something from Source Tags & Codes?

screen shrapnel vs the film world
The 35th anniversary of the first ever ‘Event Movie’, Jaws, hasn’t exactly been a classic in terms of high octane fun, but there were a few golden nuggets to be found on the bitter coalface that was summer movies 2010.
But what were these gems? The Screen Shrapnel trio reunite (well, kind of) to run through ten of the silly season's biggest hits and sort the Speeds from the Speed 2: Cruise Controls. Expect to hear some gratuitous gushing from Jamie for one film in particular, some existential angst from an out-of-sorts Graham and the usual positive contribution from a strangely taciturn Nick.
These are the piercing sound fragments of Screen Shrapnel. Prepare to be underwhelmed.

Whose Responsible This? // 16.09.10
After a summer hiatus where I did nothing at all but mull over my own shortcomings, I have returned to resume my prophetic vision of a humanity governed by soulless mechanical creatures created in locations unknown (David Cameron is an Auton, fo' reelz). In a new format, with a new name, Whose Responsible This? will be essential listening for the new broadcast year for everyone interested in science, geekery, cultural and intellectual superiority and music of equal themes. Come back to me, my loyal listeners and new additions beginning September the 16th @ 14:00. PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE!

death
Death. Dead. Death. Morbid, isn't it? It is something that comes to us all. Not just grandmothers and the henchmen of evil villains. I think Shakespeare said it best when he exclaimed, "To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, To-morrow, to-morrow, to-morrow...etc" (Macbeth, Act V, Sc. V). But luckily for us some great things have come out of death. It has been used by writers and artists as a creative muse for many, many hours now - and some of mankind’s greatest artistic legacy has been built around the fascination with death. Why, just think back to that essay you wrote in English for Mr McKenzie (or whoever it was) about your grandmother passing away and how it made you feel. I bet you got a pretty good mark for it, didn't you? This is our last episode for the season; but hopefully not our last breath on subcity. Inappropriately therefore, in this week's episode of 'Live from Las Vegas' we grapple with the sumo of a theme that is - DEATH.

thunder disco club // gsa street party
Subcity's Summer Job // 14.07.10
At the Art School's infamous street party; the street gets locked down, carry outs are welcome, a solid soundsystem gets installed and that Mackintosh building is the backdrop for a summer night party. If you jump inside, your eyeballs get the sweats struggling to fix on just a single ellipsis amongst the thousands of fonts on displays at the designer's back-to-back stalls. This year after all the work and free booze got locked behind doors, Thunder Disco Club celebrated their first birthday with their "own brand of audio-visual disco-xploitation", cranking their signature sexualised sci-fi imagery up another notch with 360 visuals provided by Subcity's new designer Joe Crogan. Their aesthetic heavy nights are soundtracked by the boys' beddable disco, alluring house, and Hi-NRG Italo - its made for dancing.

in about it! vs. spaceball dundee
// This months edition of In About It! falls in between both of our birthdays (we’re not kids anymore!), so we’ve decided to have a cheap and cheerful gathering of heads and feet.
SPACEBALL // AL THE KEMIST & SAINT GLITCH Having booked an impressive list filled with some of the biggest names in underground electro, (Hijack, Foamo, Kanji Kinetic etc..) Spaceball has gained a hard hitting reputation of being one of the heaviest club nights in Scotland. Their residents throw down stomping sets filled with bass heavy succulence, if you haven’t been up north to witness the fitness, we suggest you come down tonight and check out what you’re missing. Expect some heavy random back to back nonsense from both parties!
RESIDENTS // Level Thirtytwo causin’ a heavy ruckus.
// It’s only £2 before 12, £4 after, but we’d rather have you there than not so if you think you’ll be too skint to afford it then give us a shout and we’ll work something out.
DRINKS // £2 White Russians, £1.75 Kronenbourgs and Glasgow’s finest tonic wine to add to the madness.
PRE-PARTY // From 8pm at Bar Petite with FREE pizza, cake and nonsense.
Get On It!

men & machines summer party - sat 31st, stereo
Men & Machines w/ The Niallist (live) plus DJs King & Cousin (Belgium) Stereo, Sat 31st July 11pm-3am
Come join us for our summer party!
Playing live we have The Niallist, who'll need no introduction to anyone who's been about in Glasgow clubs over the last few years. A one man entertainment machine, he's had releases on the sadly now defunct Dissident, as well as his own Little Rock Records, and has played the likes of Optimo, Death Disco and Melting Pot among others...his latest project as House Machine sees him taking on acid much to our liking.
Check him here: http://www.myspace.com/theniallist
Also joining us we have DJs King and Cousin, a couple of young vinyl purists from Belgium. We came across their blog and series of mixes some time ago, and were struck that they seemed to be into almost exactly the same music as us. After swapping emails for some time we decided to ask them if they'd like to come and play. They've played most of Belgium's top clubs, as well as the 10 days off festival, and run their own 'Swingers Club' night in Antwerp.
More info: http://www.myspace.com/kingcousin
Entry £5 all night.

final rpz at the art school
On thursday 24th June 2010 RPZ presented their final night in the Vic Bar and bid farewell to the Art School for EVER.
It has been just over 8 years since Record Playerz started their night in the Vic Bar in the Glasgow School Of Art. Since that time, the night has grown to be one of the largest and most successfully weekly club nights in Scotland. There have been a great many fantastic nights in that time, many firm friends have been met and been made over the years and the club has been, and continues to be, the blue-print for many many other nights that have come in its wake.
However the time has come to move on. There have been a number of changes in the dj booth at RPZ over the years - founder HiFi Sean departed in 2006 to be replaced by Bonjour Boi and Jackson Stars. Stars himself left in 2008, and most recently the night has now bid farewell to Bonjour Boi who now resides in Stockholm with his beloved girlfriend.
It is this most recent departure has led to a serious re-think of what the night is about, and where RPZ is going.
Left on my again, I decided that I didn't want to recruit another new dj. I had become so used to djing with the Bonjour Boi I doubt any partnership could be as rewarding and enjoyable. It would be like trying to replace my best friend. And that being the case, I also knew I couldn't spare the time needed to run a weekly night if I was going to do it alone.
So the decision had to be to abandon RPZ as a weekly event, adapt it to a monthly party, AND have it on the weekend. Try out a whole new venue on a completely different night. So RPZ will live on, and as a monthly it will still be able to have myself and Bonjour Boi as its residents. Details of the new venue are still being worked out, but the RPZ gang will be back with their first event in late August, with plans to return with their Aussie brothers the Bang Gang deejays.
We hope that you will be able to make it along to our final farewell to the Art School. Its bound to be a tearful affair. RPZ has been the best thing i have ever created, and the most fun i have ever had at a club night, with all the best friends i have ever met. Far more fun that any one person could ever deserve.
I'm gonna miss it up the arty.
And remember kids, I'm gonna miss YOU most of all.
Hushpuppy 2010.

round 1 - house perty
"LESSS GOOO SHAAWTAYYZ"
The boys charmed the neighbours, blacked out the windows, got all carpets and soft furnishings to fuck, filling two floors and the garden -back lane entrance only. The garden to the stairs to the main party room were rammed with Glasgow's most up for it. Jongerre and Darrell come into full force with their most rowdy dubstep, grime, booty, garage and hiphop tunes.

hip vs hop
All good things come to an end...
As summer comes, slowly but surely, to Glasgow... this awesome season of Subcity Radio must draw to a close. Unfortunately, this means that Tarantism Radio must bow out as well, for the time being.
Not wanting to go out with a blast, Tarantism have organised a Three Hour Long Hip-Hop Battle for your listening pleasure. We have in the studio with us two teams of Hip-Hop enthusiasts who are going head to head to try and impress the Tarantism hosts, as well as two other very special judges, Ross Dinnett and Rebenga Dunn.
The show is broken into three main rounds, further divided into sub-categories, meaning each team has to choose a song which they think best meets the criteria for each round.
So... in the "Skengers" corner, we have Natalie Miller, Daniel Sneddon and James 'The Wank' Whelan, bringing us tracks from Killa P, Biggie Smalls and more Killa P?
And at the "Ral-stoners" end, Tarantism plays host to Jonny Burke, Dominic Maxwell-Lewis and Jamie 'DJ Chromehands' Dunn who will play anything from Madlib to Dimlite.
Listen to the marvels these guys bring to the Subcity Studio, and feel free to bring your own input to The Tarantism Facebook.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, we've had a great season at Subcity Radio, and we hope you've enjoyed Tarantism from start to finish.
We won't be back on air until September, but you can listen to all our shows throughout the year by Clicking Here!
And be sure to check The Tarantism Facebook regularly for any upcoming events and DJ sets we'll be doing throughout the summer.
Thanks guys!
Tarantism

it’s like we’re looking in a mirror
It’s a sad day when you realise that you no longer identify with the young beautiful people of the film world but, rather, you’re drawn to its misanthropic, aging ne’er-do-wells. This is the epiphany of Screen Shrapnel’s elder statesman, Jamie Dunn, when he watched Greenberg, the latest film from Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale) – he empathised totally with the film's titular middle-aged curmudgeon/psychopath who’s clinging to his youth like a limpet.
Talking of identifying with film protagonists, She’s Out of My League’s main character is Kirk (Jay Baruchel), an average schmuck, who's barley a five on the attractiveness spectrum, but by some miracle manages to bag himself a beautiful, cool, super-successful woman i.e. a hard ten. Sound familiar Graham?
As well as reviews of Greenberg and She’s Out of My League, we discuss Ajami, an epic, multi-stranded gangster picture from the film nation currently a la mode, Israel. And as a primer to next weeks year roundup we look at the stinkers of the last six months - we’re looking at you Sex and the City 2 and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Go on, have a listen. You’ll only be slightly disappointed

the skinny goes long
The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 11.06.10
In this bumper two hour edition, Gareth K Vile arrives at the studio in drag and covered in glitter, having been inspired by NYC artist Taylor Mac the previous evening. He proceeds to insult his producer Harry and gradually morph into a post-modern version of Alan Partridge, pausing only to discuss fetish clubs, the role of promoter as a curator and legal alternatives to the traditional stag night. Fortunately, Skinny Arts' Editor Andrew Cattanach stops by to discuss aesthetics and the central belt degree shows, and Subcity station manager Josh Hill introduces a possible new direction for broadcast. In the dying moments of the show, Vile finally reveals the name of his secret crush, before being put back in his box for the summer holidays.
As always, the playlist lovingly prepared by Music Editor Dave Kerr brings a little sanity to proceedings, while Andrew Cattanach identifies some of the promising artists of the next generation. Vile explains why everyone ought to go over to Edinburgh for Dee Itsy's events, including Torture Garden, and highlights the forthcoming burlesque drama "The Mating Ritual". A selection of white label exclusives rounds off the programme, live from Josh's laptop.

let's go and don't forget the droids.
For the last Get Back To 8-bit of the broadcast year, the steadfast G-funk and Ciaran Owens of Let's Get Physical will be picking each other's brains over fizzers in the stratosphere, meats of a vending machine, robots and robot killers in a global pissing contest, the other idea James Cameron had to deal with the oil spill and why the best way you can spot an online nonce is targeted at people who can actually spell. To play you out over the course of two hours will be a hefty mix of summer-time surf and chiptune. Surftune if you will. It's tomorrow at the slightly earlier time of 13:00-15:00 because I went and stole Ciaran's slot so One Louder could have their own two hours. You should listen to them too. BE THERE.

To give the show an adequate farewell we've got two hours to play around with, so the show STARTS an hour EARLIER at 3PM. Limited edition BEST OF cds to ALL who EMAIL in (studio@subcity.org).

nature
Live From Las Vegas // 01.06.10
Live from Las Vegas' things to know about nature:
1. Because of man's (and feman's) dissatisfation with the troubles of city life, he will always seek the greener pastures of a simpler time.
2. But, what comes with that is more ignorant thinking, like tribal superstitions, and the horrific cruelty of nature itself.
3. Although people try to believe that nature is all things bright and beautiful, the reality is a tuneless din of killing and 'at any cost' survival.
4. Mother nature, like all mothers, reveals a breast with one hand; while concealing a knife with the other.
5. Plus it's miles to the nearest Maccie D's!

baby please don't go
This week: it's the last show of the broadcast year. Hopefully not ever, but you never know, so best tune in just in case, so you can say you were there when the cult following began. Joining us in the studio to send the show off in style is Dave Gillies, frontman of Dirty Keys, to talk about the band, shooting videos and picking a few tracks. Should be a good 'un, and, circumstances allowing, should hopefully extend beyond the usual hour.

Hello soul, funk and jazz lovers! I am sure that you will be more than happy to hear that one of the most acclaimed Glaswegian Dj's - Mark Robb (who is currently spinning some funky beats at the Rio Cafe) appeared in the final episode for this year! Not only he has brought some fresh Starla Records tunes (that have not been released yet, so we got them quite exclusively to be frank with you), but he literally flooded us with sea of information on what is going around Glasgow's soul, jazz and funk scene. So, sit back, hit the "Listen" button and enjoy!

summer
Ok, so firstly, a HUGE thanks to everyone who made it down to Synth last Friday at The Admiral. A quiet one in town, but ridiculously messy down at The Admiral regardless...as with the radio show bringing all these different styles and sounds together on one night is really exciting. Starting with the undeniably smooth and seductive electro vibes of ESQ & Matthias, into a deeply erotic journey through funky town with the Thunder Disco boys, followed by a bass attack and heavy screw face by Pasty & Twonko, a dubstep danger donk by Mgck and then Shuan & Cheesy's sensational mega-mash up at the end.
Joe Crogan also had the visuals on lock with a searing display of mega-optics to accompany the mighty soundclash. RESPECT BRUVA
That was the last night before the summer, but we'll be returning in September with more massive line ups, cramming as many DJ's into one line up as humanly possible and prangin' out in the process.
Finally, last Friday was also the last radio show before the summer as due to Rockness commitments I won't be able to broadcast this week. It was another BIG one though, apart from the mic issues at the start which did eventually sort themself out. With a gorgeous summery Blog Burner from Aeroplane and a re-visit to Shaun Fae Solar's set from Subcity's 15th Birthday at The Arches we definitely went out with a bang. Again, we'll be back in September with more mash-up goodness and a whole host of new features.
Have an AMAZING summer! x

rainchild showcase
Rainchild is a childhood friend of Rufftrax and amazing producer. He has been working on music production for many years and has really honed his skills. He is also a member of the three piece band, Our Sleepless Forest, who's self entitled album sold over a thousand copies worldwide. His music is a lot more mellow and techno influenced, very deep and layered, making this a very different show to what you're used to. Rainchild decided to use this show to exclusively showcase a collection of his new tunes and even ones still in production, so a listen is 100% recommended!
Posted at 22:13, 6th June 2010
special guest: bleak
Indra's gone home, leaving Rufftrax alone...or so it may seem. This week there you have a very special treat. Old friend, Bleak, has decided to join him, up all the way from london to bring you some back-to-back mayhem! With very similar tastes, the mixes should rattle your bones.

a 2 hour series finale - no purgatory involved
So this 2 hour special?
Hmm, just lengthening a show doesn't make it special does it?
What if I book the creators of one of the finest indie disco night in Glasgow?
Ok, then I shall!
Confirmed Star Guests: Carol Byrne & Karen O'Hare of Ibop!
Summer songs all day long, no hold on from 6-8 Sunday and throughout the summer, autumn and winters that shall pass. Be prepared this will be the final This is Vanity.
Never fear a new show with a new show title is but seconds round the corner, but lets not jump ahead of ourselves, like my favourite time travellers always do, lets go back to around 1am Friday night in an ex-servicemens' club in deepest South Glasgow ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhNS6MsCEpc

Winners will be judged on crowd reaction by THE MIGHTY MERCILESS JOE CROGAN who will not only be providing a sonic visual accompaniment but also be-heading losers at the end of the night.
The countdown has started.....
SYNTH DISCO INFERNO Tonight 10-3am £5 The Admiral (72a Waterloo St, City Centre, half way along the same street as Pivo Pivo walking in the opposite direction of Central Station)

As it's the 2nd to last show, I'll e throwing together some of the tracks I've been playing over the last year. Some bigger clubs sounds and maybe even some dubstep and other bits and bobs that have made me stoke my chin.

howlin the blues, from britain back to the delta
It is the last episode of SubCity Radio’s Blues show ‘Crossroads Blues’ and it is gonna be a special one. The first half hour will be dedicated to the best Blues that the British Isles had to over when halfway through the sixties the British Blues Boom took over the world with the likes of Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. And don’t forget those little bands like the Rolling Stones and Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac. Tune in and find out why Clapton was called God and hear him play like you have never heard him before…
After that there is no way back… cause you’ve passed the crossroads and chose the blues… The last part of the show is dedicated to the real blues men and women. I am talking pre-sixties blues before those young British lads thought they could play music from the heart. It is back to the Delta with the likes of Son House, Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy ‘Mississippi’ Waters and Mr Robert Johnson himself…

meaning, message & metaphor
Almost all songs have a meaning of of some sort, but we feel that some tracks convey their meaning differently to others. The artists we play on this show have chosen a specific blend of lyrics and production to create songs that offer the listener a strong message.

If you're wondering what's happening on this week's Get Back To 8-bit, worry no more.

Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites
You may have noticed there was no show last week. This was because I managed to fracture my right elbow and had to spend 4 hours in A&E. Hopefully my arm will be operable enough to bring you some more face shredding tunes this week.

dicks talk chick flicks
There’s a distinct whiff of estrogen in the studio today as we discuss the films aimed towards, and made by, the fairer sex. First off, Graham recounts his tale of how he braved the Dior hand bags, Gucci shoes, GBFs and menopausal women at the opening night of Sex and the City 2. (He claims he was dragged there by his girlfriend Lucy, but we don’t buy that for a second.) Jamie, meanwhile, had a far more enjoyable time watching Agnes Varda’s Cleo from 5 to 7. The unsung gem of the the Nouvelle Vague, it forms the heart of the Agnes Varda session currently at the GFT, which included other masterpieces such as Le Bonheur, Vagabond, The Gleaners and I and last year’s beguiling The Beaches of Agnes. We finish the show by choosing our favorite ‘chick flicks’. We also throw some testosterone into the mix by reviewing Antoine Fuque’s Brooklyn’s Finest.
Expect to hear some misogyny from Graham, some school boy level ‘wit’ from Nick and some pretentious waffling from Jamie. Basically it's like every other Screen Shrapnel show then.

clash of the freaks
Subcity Soundclash // 29.05.10
Its second time around for Soundclash and we got together some weirdos for a slumberous, intense, swathing, non-linear and confusing experience for those who came in set for a Hetherington Club night -it was billed as 'heavy' right? Doing it differently from the dance instigators, they filled the neo-gothic Concert Hall with banks of effects, guitars, synths and a gong. Producing back-to-back noise of varying vibrations: harsh and white, micro and drone-tonal.

eagleowl swoops on subcity!!
Watch out for the quiet ones at the back. Aye, because sometimes as you know, the soft and gentle can caress you gently and guide you in ignorant bliss towards certain oblivion!
Edinburgh's Eagleowl describe themselves as a 'lo-fi post folk ensemble' whilst the legendary 'anti-drum core' moniker offers another hint at an approach that encompasses engaging melodies and heart-warming harmonies. Like its predecessors, recent ep 'Into the Fold' has received widespread acclaim in the specialist and mainstream media. She Said was very privileged to bring you an exclusive as the band bravely ventured west for some tunes, chatter and LIVE tracks performed for you from our small but perfectly formed studio.
It was of course special.

Ronin originally set up Off The Record around 8 years ago and has been playing music for over a decade now. His sets can take in anything from breaks to deep house, his old "squeeks & bleeps" and now even a smattering of dubstep! Ronin was also part of a live act known as DEFAULT with Orsan Kart and played live numerous times at The Soundhaus.

Once again, Nathan has been diagnosed with a serious case of 'mangina', resulting in his much deserved absence for recuperation. So, instead of Marco going solo in the studio, this week Tarantism invites Chungo & Bungo, a.k.a. Iain 'Waterleg' MacKinnon and James 'The Wank' Whelan.
Tonight we will play for you the best of reggae, ska, and dancehall with some classic tracks and a few rarities.

If you like what you hear you can catch Iain and James at the launch of their brand new reggae night, Chungo-Bungo, next Wednesday at The Courtyard. Things kick off at 8p.m. and will have you skanking until late.

As the dwindling day began to melt Godzilla yawned. He had a tough time being a giant dinosour/monster. If only somebody who understood his unbelievable need to destroy. Just then a sexy woman came. He tried to crush the sexy human with his massive foot but something stopped him. Something dangerous and abnormal had taken hold of his mind for the first time. It was obviously love. Godzilla smiled as his super-human hard-on struct, pointed into the Japanese dusk... and the sexy woman just laughed.

But here's my advice to the rest of you:
Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.
... Something about handjobs.

a box of dusty grooves from under the shelf
In another attempt to sort out the music room at Funky Towers I tripped over another box of long lost twelve inch singles. An air duster has been purchased from Maplins and the vinyl prepared for play on this edition of The Funky Cuts.

venting our camerage
This week Kate and Olivia bust their way into the studio to vent the pent-up rage naturally occasioned by having a Tory in 10 Downing Street. To that end, listen in to hear a range of the finest punk conceived the last time this happened (CRASS, Toxic Waste, The Clash) as well as some other stuff that just made us feel marginally better, if only temporarily (L7's Shitlist, and Team Dresch with Hate the Christian Right). Don't be fooled by their shiny faces, kids. This is gonna get ugly.

a cocktail? yes plz...
On this week's Electric Lemonade we have an interview with world famous mixologist Giles Locker and his portable Southern Comfort bar of wonder...
Have a listen hey, if only just to hear what a cocktail being shaken in a jam jar (hells yeah A JAM JAR) sounds like...
And the usual:
BANTER with Pollock and Butler. And TUNES.
Perfect recipe for a summer fun.

the theme of this party's the industrial age
This week: new stuff courtesy of The Hold Steady, Male Bonding and The Roots featuring My Morning Jacket's Jim James; old stuff courtesy of a shedload of USB turntable-enabled vinyl-to-mp3 conversion, including The Byrds, The Allman Brothers Band and American Music Club; and a #1 Record courtesy of Lenny Kaye, long-time guitarist for Patti Smith and a legend in his own right as compiler of classic psych-garage cornerstone comp Nuggets.

episode 4 // eric la casa & jean-luc gionnet
Two of Europe's leading field recordists, Eric La Casa and the deftly ferocious instrumentalist Jean-Luc Guionnet, recently collaborated producing un-edited, one-shot subjective sonic portraits of four Glaswegian houses, their inhabitants and their relationship through sound. By creating a series of blurry audio networks, that questioned cause and effect between residents and musicians blurring any idea of who the author of a recordings is, by investigating how sound interacts with, represents and is part of space, time and everyday life. The installation was part of Uninstal festival at the Tramway, the festival provided baffling experimental metal, unlistenable silence, language games, sound poetry, anti-understandability, urban organising, bare knuckle improvisation, uncreativity, everyday sound, anti-gentrification, radical field recording, conceptual writing, organised listening and absurd humour…it was intense. More of the recordings from the festival will be available via Subcity, but this episode focuses on these two deep-thinkers of field recording.

"How much for a quarter, pal?"

Bacchus, Merchant City
Chungo & Heera
itch! residents
reasons to come on friday...
1. you've just finished your exams and are in desperate need of a good night out (aw that's nice, us too!)
2. you think the dj's are kinda cute, despite the fact they collectively sport some of Glasgows worst haircuts.
3. you came once before and really can't remember much, but you woke up the next day with an aching techno arm and a naked stranger in your bed, and that's always the sign of a good night out! (woop)
4. the naked stranger turned out to be one of the dj's! (shocker) and in order to break the really awkward silence when you both awoke, he assured you that May's Itch! was gonna be a belter. (it's true, he wasn't joking)

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 24.05.10
We've only got a couple of episodes to go until the end of the session, so we'll try and make them count. This show is a recap of sorts from the past few days - we've just been to this year's Stag & Dagger festival which was on Saturday, as well as the Fringe event in the Captain's Rest on the Sunday. This show has a couple of tracks relevant to those events, as well as some songs from bands we've seen live pretty recently (HEALTH, Wolf Parade...). Oh, did you know that we quite like The Cribs? Knowledge is power.

the critic inside me
Remakes are terrible, aren’t they? Cynical cash-ins from the creatively bankrupt; hackney art vacuums designed to sell popcorn from shallow filmmakers like Tony Scott (director of The Taking of Pelham 123 and the upcoming The Warriors) and Michael Bay (producer of Halloween, The Amityville Horror and the recent Nightmare on Elm Street). They’re the cinematic equivalent of fake Kappa trackies. But every once and a while one of these cheap counterfeits is equal to its original; even rarer, it improves upon it. Think John Carpenter’s The Thing, Phillip Kaufmann’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Michael Mann’s Heat. This week sees another film that can be added to this list: Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant. With its release this weekend the Screen Shrapnel team will be revealing their favourite re-makes.
Also on this week’s show Screen Shrapnel get inside the mind of two disturbed law enforcers: we have a bad trip with eponymous bad lieutenant Nicolas Cage in Herzog’s re-imagining and we enter the shattered psyche of Lou Ford (Casey Affleck), the sheriff protagonist of Michael Winterbottom’s neo-noir The Killer Inside Me. We also hitch a ride in a sweaty tin-can in Samual Maoz’s tank set sophomore film, Lebanon

It's sad but true to say there are only 4 weeks left of the current season although we still have some fine treats in store and promise we'll keep things going over the summer with links to some of the best shows on Facebook.
This weekend saw the last guest free She Said so it seemed fitting to let the miserable lowlife that is our audience have a wee bit of say in what goes down. So, we were gratefully overwhelmed with requests and abuse, played the choons and loved you on air

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 21.05.10
In today's show, show, Gareth K Vile finally pauses in his monologue to allow the Skinny's resident food and drink expert, Ruth Marsh, to say a few words. There's a special treat as a late rap star is remembered, a forthcoming gig mentioned and Vile finally reveals the identity of his secret crush. Meanwhile, producer Harry keeps the music in the right order and tolerates the showing off of the presenter with his usual charm and gentle temper.

hypermediocrity
Electroclash, coined by Larry Tee in 2001, is a musical genre that sprung to popularity in the early 2000s, but stemmed from the previous decade's antics of hedonism, sexual freedom and drug-fuelled ideals. It went on to become one of the most influential genres of recent history, spawning various forms of electro and synth-pop.
Popularised greatly by cult films like Party Monster, electroclash has continued to influence modern electronic producers, despite being a short-lived musical movement.

garage and grimy dubstep excursion
Ending the series of 'specials' that have been on the past few shows is a Garage and 'Grimy Dubstep' edition(as in fast, dutty bassline riding Dubstep, with a hint of Grime stars rapping over it). Expect older, deeper garage, mixed alongside new Bassline dubplates (which I'm sure have been sorely missed) followed by some Dubstep to make the hairs on your head stand on end.

Hi All,
Thankyou for listening to tempertendency, I've had a great time and I hope you've had a great time listening. I hope I've inspired some of you to get out there and listen to different sorts of music than that thrust on you by the major radio stations.
Unfortunately as I'm heading back to Australia I will be unable to do the show next year, but thankyou all again. It's been great. Hit me up on facebook.

Live From Las Vegas // 18.05.10
THE YOUNGER WOMAN:
Through the cosmic wastes I glide
Knowledge is my only guide
Knowledge of that unique sweet fruit
The knowledge I must never let oot
My one true love, all shevelled and saggen
Sitting in the corner, all worn out from shagging
The droopy hide, and lowland sad eyes
The ravages of time, ye cannae hide
And the ravages of Paddy
True to say, I wore her oot
Wore her like my best church suit
So it’s time to get rid of one old dog
And get a new puppy, for me to snog
West Highland Terrier this time, I think
I do dogs

cartoon character chaperone - it's a real job.
Izzy is away this week, so for one show only you're treated to a co-host who doesn't sound like they've been shot with a tranquiliser dart - also known as Sandra (the co-host, not the tranquiliser dart.) There's more falling over stories (and falling over songs), chilling accounts of cartoon characters being abused by children, and possibly the greatest possible outcome of a public nosebleed known to man.

This week: a hip, happening, with it group of tunes from an assortment of groovy young beat combos of the day. Or something. A selection of cuts from several fine new albums released over the past wee while in the first half, from the likes of LCD Soundsystem, The National, Flying Lotus and Surfer Blood, and a few more from folk who've played live in Glasgow this past couple of weeks in the second, including Dinosaur Jr., Pavement and the creator of this week's #1 Record, Sail Away, the inimitable Randy Newman.

rpz presents dobly anol (dj set)
On thursday 27th May 2010 RPZ present DOBLY ANOL for a special guest dj set!!
No strangers to the RPZ dancefloor (or most other glasgow club nights), Dolby Anol are one of Scotland's most inventive and respected electronic producers.
Hailing from Glasgow the duo have carved an enviable reputation for themselves with a series of blistering EPs that demonstrate a devious and imaginative approach to dance music.
Their releases - including Puppies, Tender Touch, Macaroon/Cameron and most recent Sandy Bitches - take a particularly skewed but wildly inventive approach to the business of delirious dancing, jumping from genius cheesy 80's MOR disco samples to thoughtfully skeletal and superlative techno. This playful diversity has won them a varied collection of admirers ranging from BBC radio populist Annie Mac to kings of belligerent beats the Boyz Noise.
As always RPZ residents Bonjour Boi and Hushpuppy will be spinning out their own brand of sweat inducing digital disco delirium, grinding together electro, rave, jerky bassline, italo, synthetic disco, French sound, gay hi-NRG, Oz-matic punk-house and delinquent techno.
Glowing pop-art projections and über gay-cosmic visuals are provided by one-man videoteque Joe Crogan .
RPZ - making laser beams....in your dreams!!

Roots, Rock, Reggae // 17.05.10
Cover songs are a part of music. Most of the time we hear a cover version of an already very good song and afterwards we wish we hadn't. But every so often, an artist comes along that does the song justice and delivers a version of a song that is just as good, if not better than the original. Tune into this episode to hear a selection of some of the cover versions that got it very, very right.

Corpse On The Mesa // 18.05.10
"Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45am 16th May. Many, many friends and family were able to say their private good-byes before he peacefully passed away. Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all. We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us. Please give us a few days of privacy to deal with this terrible loss. Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever." - Wendy Dio
Nothing but heavy metal this time in memory of RJD. Dio was one of the heavy metal artists that really shaped my taste in music as a kid (alongside Maiden and Priest) and I still spin the 'Holy Diver' LP regularly. Also, for all the bullshit about him not being the best Sabbath vocalist, 'Heaven & Hell' is an absolute classic and places in my top 5 Sabbath records. Impossible to knock. When we start doing the journey through metal section again, DIO will definitely be making an appearance. I don't know what else to say. R.I.P. Dio. Sad day.
"It's a long way to nowhere
And I'm leaving very soon
On the way we pass so close
To the back side of the moon
Hey join the traveler if you got nowhere to go
Hang your head and take my hand
It's the only road I know "
P.S. - All you posey, side-fringe-sporting poser scumbags wouldn't even be throwing those devil horns at the crumby nu-metal 'rock' clubs you hang out at if it wasn't for DIO. Show some respect.

jihadi jesters and an angry, tight-wearing kiwi
There’s a new dawn in Downing Street: New Labour is old news as Cameron and Clegg become Britain's first homoerotic Prime Ministerial double team. (How will these handsome devils get any work done with all that man-love?) No such problems at team Shrapnel as Jamie and Graham have their now weekly argument about the latest blockbuster - in this week’s case, it’s Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood. Can Scott’s leading man of choice, Russell Crowe, match fellow Antipodean Errol Flynn’s take on the English hero or the charming vulpine outlaw in Disney's version? Tune in to find out.
Also on this week’s show: Chris Morris brings his brand of satire to the big screen in Four Lions (think of a Jihad Dad’s Army, with a terrorist cell of child-men instead of a hapless Home Guard); Austrian anti-thriller Revanche; and we choose our favourite buddy movie.
These are the demented sound fragments of Screen Shrapnel; prepare to be underwhelmed
(ps. Nick Green fans - if such people exist - may be disappointed this week as their favourite film loving slap head is MIA. Rumors that he’s hanging out on the Croisette with his secret lover Dame Judi Dench and dossing on Palme d’or jury president Tim Burton’s haunted yacht are yet to be confirmed)

Between mini-reviews of The Tron's Mayfesto and Behaviour at The Arches, he reveals his knowledge of underground clubs and American interrogation techniques. In a month dominated by two Glasgow theatre festivals, a general election and the start of the summer, Dave Kerr's musical selection brings together tough rock and forceful hip-hop, before finishing off the show with a couple of blues numbers reflecting Gareth's mood over the past week.

mega exclusives: chase & status
Wha gwan yo! Subcity Radio is back on air, serious this time! And due to the absence of a show last week I have a back log of utterly sensational music to play: Blog Burner from Chase & Status & Dizzee Rascal, worldwide exclusive play of the new Barrientos cut ‘Santiago’, plus massively big MEGA tunage from DC Breaks, Rusko, M.I.A & Delorean. Big tings, big tings….
1-2AM TONIGHT. SUBCITY RADIO

yaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy, we're back!!!!!!!!!!
So taking full advantage of Allan's absence up the mounbtains, Derek launches into what we hope will be the first of many collaborations between She Said and Glasgow's finest toilet, sorry venue, the 13th Note. More to the point, Sandra (queen of the Note's back room and promotional activity) joins the second half of the show in a failed attempt to bring sanity to the proceedings. You have been warned!!

Unfortunately, One Louder will not be on air today, booo! Lexi returns to the country soon so we'll hopefully be back next week. xxx

collaborations
When two artists come together to create a piece of music, there is a fusion of style that creates a unique sound to that song.
Musical collaborations come in many forms; producers vs. producers, producers vs. singers, etc. In this show, we play a selection of tracks that demonstrate different styles of collaboration, and listen to varying outcomes.

douglas adams would be proud.
Join in on today's Get Back To 8-bit as Gerald, Allan and Jamie indulge in some chiptunery of the Pink Floyd nature by playing The Dark Side Of The Moon in all it's synthesised goodness. Plus something else because it won't take up the full hour. We'll be discussing matters of global importance too, like ladies what lie about babies and a funny bra. Other things too. Join in today by listening live @ 14:00 and send us your messages.

Hello fans! Let's Get Physical returns with more science, as per usual. Turntable science to be exact. The Ghetto Scientist will be on our next show dropping science all over the place. This episode will feature the basics of how DJing actually works - how vinyl is made, how the turntables work, a bit of sound, mixing and a bit of scratching. Wiki wiki!

hiatus
so bottle rocket's absence from the airwaves continues a little while longer... i had a corker of a show lined up for today (complete with copious amounts of pavement), but have to wait in for tickets for the pavement-curated all tomorrow's parties festival to arrive (does that qualify as irony?). speaking of which, there'll be no show next week either since i'll be down in minehead still. but that still leaves four shows left of the current term's run, and by jove i promise they'll be the finest four shows you ever did clap ears on.

politricks & the shitstem
Tonight we're 'celebrating' the quatro/cinq-ennial carve-up that is the general election with a look at the blood-stained world of Jamaican politics (or in Rasta parlance, politricks) and the interplay between music and government.
In a country where drinking the wrong colour of beer can get the shottas on your back - red stripe = red = PNP, heineken = green = JLP - and the electoral murder count usually reaches the hundreds, Jamaican musicians have always had a bit to say.
Perhaps we ought to be grateful that over here all we have to deal with is a mountain of flyers, and the fact our votes don't make any difference...

As a teaser, we got hold of all the flyers that had come through our doors and set about them with some felt tip pens. Here are the results.

rare motown special on the funky cuts
Courtesy of Universal records and my own collecting enthusiasm I've a bundle of Motown recordings that were not released as album tracks never mind singles. And the thing is they're superior to a load of show tunes, pop covers and other pieces of junk that filled out your typical sixties Motown album. I'll be exploring the sides that Motown quality control did not think were good enough and some of the in house politics that affected whose productions were released. Join for sixty minutes of what could have been the Sound of Young America

dance dance -> revolution
This week: there's an election happening. You may have noticed. Political screeds, rants and revolutions from M.I.A., Nina Simone and Gil Scott-Heron, the perfect fusion of the personal and the political from The Clash in #1 Records and, whilst we at LOTD remain tactfully neutral, a final track from Morrissey that envisions the execution of Margaret Thatcher. Dancing on graves optional.

beard's bangin' beatles bop
Thursday sees Beard radio raise our thumbs aloft to the Fab Four as only we know how. Yes, it's our long-awaited Beatles special. Now, this might seem a somewhat mainstream, classic-rock kinda thing for us to do, but rest assured this is no predictable Mojo-style snooze fest featuring the same old stuff. Deep cuts, hidden solo gems, unusual covers, tunes that sample the Beatles, homages, and related acts... If you're the kind of Beatles fan who hates Yoko and loves Oasis then you might not like this show. We think you should listen in anyway and have your mind blown. Or if you're one of those people who says the Beatles are lame perhaps we can change your mind. As for everyone else, turn off your mind, relax and float downstream...

Live From Las Vegas // 27.04.10
ARE YO TIRED OF BEING A WEAKLING? DO ALL YOUR IMAGINARY FRIENDS KICK YOUR SCRONNY RUMP? DO YOU HAVE A BIG BAG OF GUTS INSTED OF A SIX PACK? If I'm speaking to you, and I am, then you need to change. Drop that bloody bag! No more owninism and crying for you, it's time to get in shape. With my eight week program, from £500 a quarter-session, you too can stand up for yourself like a man or a bear. The first step to getting in shape is getting a gun. With a gun you can easily despose of your attacker no matter how much bigger he is. Use his strength and weight against him by shooting him in the head. An easy move to start you off with is if you are caught in a headlock move your arm to your side, make a grip with your hand, around the gun, and then fire the gun. Your life will be changed forever, but don't just take my word for it: "I took the full eight week program and now I'm a man. Thanks Live from Las Vegas" says Pinocio Smith, East Kilbride. "I was a big jesse before but now I have rats in my head. Thanks LLV" says Shrivel Nelson, red road. Be Fab - Kill the flab! -------------------SPORTS

For teh conclusion we take a bit of time to remember some of the highlights from Guru of Gang Starr and Steve Reid in light of their recent passing......

fancy a good old grope?!
Can you hear me now? Is this thing on? This could have been the end of radio, Said Said and indeed Subcity unless the team's intention to sedate this week's guests went to plan!
Once upon a time there were 2 Glasgow bands, Weenliz and Grozny Some people suggested they were d***s but this was not always true. Then a number of them bonded to form a strange new creature called Gropetown. Wisely, they chose a special female person to lift the gloomy maleness. Some people say they (the blokes) are still d***s but this is not always true.
This week on She Said they picked the tunes and talked pish.
See what you think.

this week (without andrew neil)
Start Making Sense // 30.04.10
This week the sensemakers sit around and discuss Gordon Brown's hilarious gaffe, analyzing every fascinating little facet of the momentous day that shook the world. A well rounded debate we'll see what someone like Jeremy Paxman thinks, assess the impact with pie charts and seek opinions from bigoted people coming out of ladbrokes. The final election debate also happens tonight so i guess we can talk about how impressive Nick Clegg was, so handsome and vivacious, so different. Maybe a little square though, like a head teacher, or a friend's boring dad. Cameron made me feel a bit ill. Did you notice Brown's face looked saggy? David Dimbleby was good though. He should be Prime Minister, Paxman could be Chancellor and John Snow the Home Secretary. Not that prat who did the ITV debate though, not in my cabinet, he can stick to smoking horsehair.
Well that's tonights show. Also we'll be looking at the Chicago based indie label Drag City. Home to many great artists such as Joanna Newsom, Bill Callahan, Silver Jews and Alasdair Roberts we'll be playing a fine selection of the music along with some fact based word speaking stuff.
Join us tonight, 2am-3am!

falling and laughing
Falling over stories are the order of the day in this week's Deadbeat Club, so listen in to hear about a mishap on a crazy-golf course, a new coat being someone's downfall, and other hahahi-larious stories - neatly followed by a Fall track. See what we did there? Pat on the back, Deadbeat Club! Inbetween some happenin' post punk tunes we treat you to the best poems "Your Shout!" has to offer, and discuss the woes of being glasses wearers.
And if that's not enough of an incentive, listening to the show is the only way you'll find out whether someone really was "mutilated by my boss' drug addict chimp"..

record store day recap
Source Tags and Mixtapes // 29.04.10
We're back after a pretty long break - and at a later time to boot! Not a bad deal.
Anyway, to get us started back up we've decided to base this show around Record Store Day, which was on the 17th of April. RSD is a pretty significant event for music lovers, especially those who buy physical music - not only because you'll find limited releases from great artists, but also because coming along and splashing out helps out the stores who are finding it harder to stay afloat in this digital downloading age. Turn up to your store early every year and you're sure to grab yourself a good haul.
Preaching aside, this show's a good one. Check out the Facebook page for updates on show times and such, as it's been a bit hectic recently with the big Subcity move.

the end of journeys
Hey folks,
So, I have been mulling it over for a few months now and I have decided that I am going to call a halt to Journeys - at least for the rest of this season.
To do the show properly takes up most of my free time at the moment and I am just not willing to give up every spare moment to getting it sorted out any more. The wee hiatus we had during the studio move has pretty much made my mind up for me - I've actually enjoyed not doing the show more than I was enjoying doing it!
Anyway, I may well end up back on Subcity's doorstep next year begging to do the show again, who knows!
Thanks to everyone who has tuned in over the last 3 years or so - especially regular listeners Gill, Ev, Rach and Maureen! Cheers to Jay Miles (Northern Music Collective) and Peter Howard (Rock'N'Roll Meltdown) for turning me on to Subcity in the first place.
A massive thanks and much kudos also goes to all the Subcity team; the hardy souls who keep the place running and make sure everything works pretty much as it should do - and all on a shoe-string budget. Thanks for the opportunity to do the show and continued success to all at Subcity!
Cheers for now folks,
Stuart

featuring ladies with tentacles in strange places.
Get Back To 8-bit continues the resuming of transmission after the studio move to much sunnier areas of the campus this week with a super terrific Japanese theme event. This feast of eastern delights is combined with news stories likely to make you want to punch the internet in disgust, such as boy scout gamer skillz, more reasons for Twilight to die die die die, poorly conceived fan cafes and Stephen Hawking's prophecy of DOOM.

in your arms - an update
Well, my little play about love is delayed until the final show of the series for 3 very good reasons:
1) There is going to be a Solar Island reunion for the General Election, which I would be delighted if you listen to. For more info: http://www.subcity.org/shows/solarisland
2) i have a co-star & co-writer joining the project who is going to make it so much better and well heartfelt
3) I like to create an element of antici...

live election 2010 special
Solar Island , The BBC and Ofcom invite you to tune in to this very special broadcast next Thursday on subcity.org
As a measure to ensure their coverage of the election results is balanced and meets Ofcom requirements, the BBC have commissioned the UK's finest slackers Solar Island to produce an complementary broadcast to run alongside their mainstream results coverage.
At great expense to the license fee payer the Solar Island team are being given access to the BBC's nationwide network of journalists, news teams and audio feeds to ensure they can bring you al of the results as they happen. Shaun fae Solar and Boaby Digital have also been working with the BBC radiophonic workshop to create the worlds first audio swingometer and virtualised aural parliament.
You can expect live reports from both Solar's own contributors from across the globe as well as special Solar only versions of reports and interviews from BBC studios across the country.
In addition to all of this the Rector of Glasgow University Charles Kennedy and the GURFC have insisted on a drinking game. The rules are currently simple but will no doubt change: For every Labour gain a shot of something red, for a Lib-Dem gain something orange, for a tory gain something which will leave a bad taste in the mouth and just so Alex Salmond doesn't sue, for an SNP gain down a shot of Irn-Bru + Whiskey + Haggis + Tartan + Sean Connery. A bonus shot of Viagra should be taken if Margaret Thatcher appears on screen on the BBC at any time.
See you there, love Solar x

After last week's Junjo marathon, there's no particular theme to the show this week - just a bag full of new records, featuring plenty 80s stuff, rub-a-dub and digital, new roots, some bang-up-to-date dancehall, and a few classic oldies...

jungle!!!
This week, a break from the usual mix for a special Jungle mix I've been working on, as Jungle/DnB have been the styles that are making me move ma ting at the moment. We're still raving, but with a darker edge! This badman mix will be supported by some grime and bassline, including one contribuation by a good friend of mine. If you've seen Kidulthood, you'll get it!

the reports of our death are greatly exaggerated
We are back on air, not dead like Mark Twain, whose death has been confirmed. We're running on reduced power, since Indra could not make it today, but she will be back next week, when we will hopefully airing the Interview with Jeff Halper.
So, as promised here are the articles I mentioned during the show:
- George Monbiot on vulnerability due to complexity
- Ikea Election Kitchens

episode 3 // wounded knee & rm hubbert
We opened up the back garden, turned the leccie off and invited Wounded Knee and RM Hubbert to perform. The recording is thick with bird song, cars, planes, drain gurggles, its a collaboration that brings together Wounded Knee's postmodern Hebridean waulking song ethic and that signature subtle, intense guitar technique that Hubby fuses with flamenco and taiko.
Ahead of Subcity Soundclash #2 I'm joined by Shaun Fae Solar with the B-Side to Purple Brain Juice, aural/tonal assaults from Divorce's spilt tape with Ultimate Thrush, experimental vocal ensembles and satanic verses.
The new Burzum's LP, which after his time served for murder and church burning is finally opened, its named Belus after one of Odin's sons. Its grim, cold and primitive.

They're back and better than ever! A new studio location with a window seems to have buoyed Brian and Andy's spirits somewhat and this week's Couch Club is consequently a wonderful hour packed full of great music and unmissable laughs.

singles night
This week: a triumphant (?) return to the airwaves full of non-album tracks, in a belated tribute to last week's tremendously successful Record Store Day. 7"s, B-sides and other assorted rarities from the likes of The Twilight Sad, Japandroids, Dead Kennedys and My Bloody Valentine, a singles compilation that can go toe-to-toe with any studio album you'd care to name from Buzzcocks in #1 Records, and, most exciting of all, the new Arab Strap track, recently completed for the forthcoming boxset Scenes Of A Sexual Nature, released in a limited pre-release run for Record Store Day.

few gifts for our dear listeners.
They Took Our Jobs!!! // 22.04.10
Hello kids, As you have probably noticed by now - we're back. And we're not back with empty hands as they say. We've got something nice and shiny for you. Firstly - one of our favourite labels ever - 77cuts has just released a truly fantastic album featuring covers and mixes of Polish estrade songs, as well as few remixes of Western artists' tunes (like Tupac). The album is not only wirth of recommending, not downloading it will be regarded as a sin. So here's the link - it's free and it's legal! Here is the link:
http://fonoteka77.blogspot.com/2010/04/estrada-nagrania-fonoteka-5-remixed.html
The second touching gift we have prepared for you, is a wee mixtape that let us assume seems representative in terms of music you can listen to inour show. So, if you fancy a wee "listen to", enter the link below a hit the small blue "play" button. We hope you enjoy it.

here comes the sun/we're back
After a short break for the rebuilding the studio the show is back in action and this week the show is dedicated to the "Here Comes The Sun" sampler.
This album was compiled by Murray Easton of the Everything Flows Management fame and features 15 of the best up and coming bands from Glasgow and beyond.
Every penny generated from this cd goes towards the Maggies Cancer Care Centres across Scotland. This weeks show features about half of the bands.
For more info on Maggies Centre visit www.maggiescentre.org and to buy the cd or download the tracks £5/6 for 15 tracks! visit http://musicformaggies.bandcamp.com/
Go and get yourself some good music and do some good at the same time.

back on the air...almost
Subcity Radio is finally back on air so if you've been missing out on your favourite shows over the last few weeks you can now re-connect and get lost in hours of interesting music and chat. The studio has been re-located to Southpark Avenue near Hillhead St and is apparently nestled in a snug/dingy wee basement so I'm looking forward to getting back on the air properly next week!
As for this week, I blatantly didn't get my act together in time so you'll have to put up with another dodgy podcast...but fear not the music is, as always exceptional. Remixes from Doorly, Afrojack and Mighty Mouse, originals from Foamo, Subscape & Redlight with a mighty fine Blog Burner from he Scissor Sisters. Matthew One More Tune provides this week's twenty minute mix of mash up madness and I'll also have your essential run down of all the hottest parties going on in Glasgow this weekend!

So after 3 weeks of tortured absence, the mighty She Said team returned to caress you aurally once more. And whit a show it turned out to be as acclaimed author, playwright, performer and music fan of frankly unimaginable taste, Alan Bissett, joined us with his impressively scary new haircut for some memorable tunes and chatter.
With only the slightest amount of suggestive nudging, Alan spoiled us with tales of Falkirk in ye olden days, his recent transformation to a one man woman and forthcoming delights on the Byres Road. Oh aye, and there's some stuff about books as well!
And yes, that is the Corries popping up on a truly unique playlist - when will we see yer likes again?!

news blast: my responsible this.
At the time I described today's Shatner/Nimoy episode of Get Back To 8-bit as "a jizzshot gone badly". I'm trying to get it onto essential listening because of the epic cultural fail. Thank you to everyone who listened, I think that might have been a record in terms of communication. Here are the news links for GBT8-bit for 22/04/10.
There are two kinds of girl dorks. One of which is cute. They include the librarians and pink haired chick who works in Forbidden Planet. The other isn't sexy. This is the latter.

bad boys
Live From Las Vegas // 20.04.10
Dear Live from Las Vegas,
First off I would like to say that I am a huge fan. I fill two seats on the train. The jibes, the jokes, the gags and the scoffs - I love it all. Every week my girlfriend and I -I'll make up a name for her later- tune in to the show. I particularly like it when the stupid one says something silly and then the clever one says something smart. Why even now I'm sore with the pains of laughter. I mean a potato baby? You can't write that stuff. Unfortunately though I was very upset by the latest show, "bad boys". I am aware of the local trends and the happenings of young people, I know they like controversy, I know they all like to wear diaphragms, I know they use PCP, I know they stab they're best friends, I know they drink purple drank, I know they take crystal meth at parties and eat their girlfriends in a hallucinogenic rage, I know they all dodge tax, I know they swear, I know because I did it too when I was young. We all did. But what bothers me is you didn't know the name of the girl group that sang with Bob Marley on his later recordings. Some things are risqué but that is just cruel. Also next week can you have a show about being good, like me?
Yours hungrily, John Cale

isodyne guest mix!
Animal Farm is back on SUBCITY!!!
On this weeks show we have a very special & EXCLUSIVE guest mix from Patrick Walker aka ISODYNE.
Isodyne is the side project of Forward Strategy Group's : Patrick Walker and showcases the spaced out and abstract sound-sphere which influences his work in the techno world.
Rather than being influenced by the current trend in 'Hardwax' compatible sounds being charted by some of the worlds trendsetters, this sound was concieved as a reaction to his environment long before the words dub-techno or dubstep were in use. His work is frequently compared with the likes of Moritz Von Oswald, Pole and Burial in the music press and he is currently enjoying a cult following within the underground music scenes, through a slew of self pressed - ultra limited releases and previously through releases on Kompakt digital.
With tracks licenced to the next Fabric live compilation under the Forward Strategy Group moniker, and recent gigs alongside TRG, Marcel Dettmann, Sandwell District, Mike Denhert Go Hiyama, Sugar Experiment Station and Silent Servant, Patrick is currently looking into releasing more of his work as isodyne and we can expect a vinyl offering at some point in 2010.
The set presented here is a mixture of live and DJ, using his own work as well as recent collaborations with Charlton Ravenberg (arms, assault, labrynth), Inigo Kennedy/Reducer and Smear (retail & lesiure, forward strategy group). There are also a couple of tracks from people who have been supportive of his work in the form of live edits and a complete dub reworking of an old King Tubby classic !
This is a great warm up to our Sub Club Event featuring techno dons REGIS & FUNCTION aka SANDWELL DISTRICT
enjoy...i know i will :)

jeffrey lewis
With his battered acoustic guitar smattered in stickers, Jeffrey Lewis performances are heavy on wordplay, both playful and personal, they could be about the joys of objectophelia or cover some episode of American history with an observational schtik that’s more on the money than Seinfeld. After a series of gigs supporting Daniel Johnston and his BEAM orchestra, Jeffrey Lewis came to Glasgow and played some versions of Nervous Norvis, Phoebe Kreutz, something about insect killing and something about ex-girlfriends.
I usually have to work a bit harder to get on the subject of comics in interviews, like after a tour story…“oh I read this comic once and exactly the same thing happened, but they accidentally desecrated Muslim graves and got chased out of the city. Have you ever read Mome no.5?” Sometimes I get a nervous laugh, or a rider rummage, sometimes I get a massive chat about superhero movies, but Jeffrey Lewis makes some awesome comics, they include some autobiographical stories about his travels around Europe, his Dad’s journeys from New York to L.A. in a wacked-out car that was attacked by bears, plus some surreal sci-fi adventures with a flying fish. So we chatted about them and how "he might not have as many records as you might think."
This is an exclusive set and interview from a unique performer.

when will i see you again?
Students for Scarves and Charm
We've been off air for a long time and obviously many of you are now suffering severe pop withdrawal symptoms and plaintively singing "When will I see you again?" a la The Three Degrees (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6fVDAjs9f0). Well, the answer is that we really don't know. Obviously our optimistic hope to be back on air by the 6th of April was hugely wide of the mark as the new studio is still having teething problems but here are a few more things to tide you over:
1. Remember Summer Camp? A band who are so good that we featured them as our Unsigned Act twice? Well, they've been snapped up by the excellent label Moshi Moshi. They are touring with label mates and twee darlings Slow Club (though sadly not Glasgow) and have released Ghost Train as their first single. You can see the video here: http://vimeo.com/9814265
2. We thought the identity of the mysterious youtube account "iamamiwhoami" had been as good as proven to be Goldfrapp but then Goldfrapp released an album of underwhelming 80s inspired pop rather than strange, ethereal nature pop and the only thing creepy about it was Alison "Personification of Evil" Goldfrapp and the mystery was opened again. New reports claim that "iamamiwhoami" is relatively unknown Swedish singer Jonna Lee but this has been denied by her management. Whoever she is, we like her music. You can watch all the virals as well as her singles so far "B" and "O" (we assume there are more letters to come and it's not a not-so-cryptic message about body odour) here: http://www.youtube.com/user/iamamiwhoami#p/a/u/0/MMroXbAmrI8. We are particularly smitten with the song "O" but warn you that the video for "B" is not for the faint of heart. You can also read about the full mystery so far here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iamamiwhoami.
3. More news about Robyn's forthcoming album "Body Talk Part 1" is starting to emerge as well as two more tracks, "None of Dem" and "Dance Hall Queen". However, despite some impressive collaborators (Royksopp and Diplo respectively), I'm as underwhelmed by these new tracks as I was by "Fembot". Honestly, it's taken 5 years for this? You can make up your own mind by listening to "Dance Hall Queen" here: http://www.culturebully.com/robyn-body-talk-update and "None of Dem" on the music player at: http://www.robyn.com. As always, send us an email at scarvesandcharm@googlemail.com and let us know what you think.

this is a vanity re-post
Well, as we get nested into our new surroundings it looks like the next This is Vanity will be the 25th April. Not only shall it be a joyous night, but also a joyous day as it's my birthday. So here's what I'm going to do. Invite some of my favourite djs to play a tune if they want or just ask me to play one for them. Then join me as I head to Optimo for the final optimo of the present era.
So that is the future and the present(s) sorted, how about a little recent past: Why not listen to these shows already recorded for your pleasure?:

hey we're still here and here's a haiku special.
The Self Raising Flour Hour Of Power // 15.04.10
Subcity is moving but thanks to a handy Logitech microphone hitherto only used for lowly playstation2 party game playing purposes, The Self Raising Flour Hour Of Power has returned with a special devoted to the artistry behind the most concise poetic form on the planet, gather up your collection of syllabels, paste 'em together in a 5-7-5 formation and have a rather profound listen. Songs have been selected purely for their ability to be molested into the shape of a haiku! Do not miss this act of extreme lyrical butchery, get it on your wireless now!

where is pete and his amazing rock n roll sounds?
Yeah, i'm sure that question has been troubling you deeply the last few weeks - i know i've had a fair amount of sleepless nights over it too. Well, the truth is that actually there is some massive rock n' roll news approaching that i am well caught up in - more to follow in the coming weeks.
Anyway, there's no show this Thursday, but what a great opportunity to listen again to some of the great episodes of ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN that have occured this series!

saving party party
Let's Get Physical // 22.04.10
This week on Let's Get Physical we have two very special guests with a very special mission. We have Professors Henrington and Windimire, of Subcity Sci-Fi fame, in the studio to undertake a daring time-travelling mission to the depths of the past in an audacious attempt to save Party Party. As you probably already know, Party Party have been banned from the Subcity internet-waves for crimes against nature. But the Professors have uncovered evidence of an evil plot and are determined to clear Party Party's name by travelling back in time and stopping the offending broadcast from ever happening. Will the Professors manage to solve the 4 dimensional time sudoko? Can they stop the broadcast? Will they unmask the evil-doers? Can Party Party be saved? Find out next week on Let's Get Physical!
Join us on www.subcity.org at 1pm Thursday 15th April for the return of Subcity Sci-Fi and the possible restoration of Party Party to their rightful place on the Subcity schedule.

After their short hiatus, Brian and Andy are back on the radar, and they're doing things the way they used to be done. It's a very special podcast episode due to the ongoing studio move at Subcity.

now loading. please wait.
If you're missing some Get Back To 8-bit goodness during the Subcity move, feel free to check out some of my favourite episodes from the past. This one, the "Time" episode features myself and Zan discussing cybernetic arses, fanny attire of the future, my man nappy and more. Plus music from some bands who talk about the future like Electric Light Orchestra, Optimus Rhyme, Zager and Evans and Leonard Cohen.
http://www.subcity.org/shows/getbackto8bit/44174
Alternatively, there's this one, the "Galaxy News Radio" episode features my discussion of Simulant liars at your party, Hutts speaking Basic FTF, 150,000 reasons you're boned robot-style and more. Also, music from the likes of Roy Brown, The Andrews Sisters, The Ink Spots, Bob Crosby and the Bobcats and more.
http://www.subcity.org/shows/getbackto8bit/9db57
And finally there's the "Filling In The Void" episode from the Christmas break which features myself and Terry discussing the biggest comic fails of the last decade, child authors and their lack of Hemmingway like presence and how we completely missed the mark on how that Doctor Who special was going to resolve itself. Also there is a selection of chiptune beats from the likes of Anamanaguchi, Henry Homesweet, Bud Melvin and more.
http://www.subcity.org/shows/getbackto8bit/630b3
When Get Back To 8-bit returns, expect more geekery kicking off with a Shatner/Nimoy music explosion. It'll make your ears melt. Don't miss it.

back in your arms - soon
As you'll be aware Subcity has shifted itself off to it's summer home by the swimming pool and garden. While the studio is being primed into a delightful enough hovel for your genial host to present to you, I'm building up a little show for your pleasure.
I've been thinking about music. Music as a form, as a concept in our lives. Maybe I'm influenced by the wonderful Phonogram comic which reignited my love for what rhythm and sonic shifts can do to our hearts and heads. As can be easily guessed I boiled down my thoughts to this:
Music is Illusion.
The art of great music is to take us to the place it paints or the place we paint it into. From Pulp's song 'David's Last Summer' taking us to a never visited stream on the suburbs of Sheffield in the early 80's to the feeling of near universally appreciated beautiful agony of wanting to show that new person how much you want them in Gorky's Zygotic Mynci 'Patio Song', it creates the scene, helping you to move in or on from what had came before those 3 minutes of escape..
So what does this have to do with This is Vanity? Well, the May 2nd show will not be the usual show. It in fact will be set within a story, a story of what music has and can do to one person.
Posted at 18:12, 4th April 2010
easter monday
No show tomorrow. Subcity is on the move, so while the dust settles and the boxes are unpacked Kaleidoscope is going to roll an easter egg and listen to Washed Out. Find comfort in the Kaleidoscope archive till next week! http://www.subcity.org/listenagain/kaleidoscope Hope the Easter Bunny treats you well...but beware of the 70s white wicker bunny rabbits though...patch work vests *shudders* >>> http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a138/mustardboy/EAsterEvilBunny1.jpg

get back to 8-bit, lost in the aether.
Due to the geographical shift of Subcity premises, Get Back To 8-bit has had also go on temporary hiatus until at leat the 15th of April. But if you need to hear more geekery from Gerald, feel free to wander the streets of Glasgow until you hear me on top of a building, yelling about the robots.

hiatus
Students for Scarves and Charm
It feels like an age (two weeks) since we last stepped bleary-eyed into the Subcity studio to present Students for Scarves and Charms because of pesky dissertations and the studio move. While our time off hasn't been without its perks (namely sleep), we are bursting with pop goodness that we want to share with you. We should be back on the Tuesday the 6th of April but just in case the new studio isn't quite ready, here are a few treats to tide you over:
1. Oh, Elizabeth Morris, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways: your impeccable twee girl style, your cute Australian accent, your whipsmart yet heartfelt lyrics, your perfect pop songs that reference everything from The Chiffons to Weezer to Doris Day... it's safe to say that we are besotted with Elizabeth and her band Allo Darlin'. Check out the video for their new single Dreaming with Monster Bobby here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDM_DyoGGSA.
2. The mysterious Sally Shapiro may be one of the most under-stated and reclusive of Scandinavian pop stars but we love her sweetly shy vocals, wall-flower persona, Sarah Records referencing album art and italo disco inspired songs. Her second album 'My Guilty Pleasure' is getting the remix EP treatment and you can here a sample megamix of it here: http://www.thecultureofme.com/mp3/sally-shapiro_my-guilty-pleasure-remixes-megamix-sampler.mp3. Sounds pretty good to us.
3. New Robyn song! New Robyn song! New Robyn song! Aside from a few cover versions and guest vocals, Robyn has been in no rush to release new material after her brilliant 2005 self-titled album but she's finally released a new song, Fembot, and is talking about an album. Rather anticlimactically, I'm not sure how much I enjoy Fembot but you can hear it here: http://www.myspace.com/robynmyspace and let us know what you think.
See you soon!
Mairiclare and Bicola

no show tonight!
Unfortunately, due to the transportation of the Subcity Studios, we are not on this week!
However, this means when we come back next Thursday night/Friday morning we will be so prepared you're going to have the sense knocked out of you and then placed back in!
Be prepared for a night of crooning, strings hanging on one note for 16 bars, slabs of meat being punched and our unsuccessful attempt to interview Scott Walker.
See you next week!

no show tonight- keeping it c&n at sleazy's
Ey up chaps,
Just a quick note to say there will be no episode of Synth on Subcity tonight as I'm going to be spinning tunes at the famed Cheap N Nasty at Nice N Sleazy's (and the station is moving house) So if your in need of some mash up madness head down to the Sleaze cave anytime from 11.30 onwards for a heavy dose of Disco, House, UK Funky, Dubstep, Drum & Bass, speed garage, the usual madness ...from myself & Matthew One More Tune!

stories from the city, stories from the sea
This week: it was a dirty night. I shook the rain from my shoes as I came through the front door. Something moved in the darkness. A flick of the light-switch later and I discovered a hell of a party happening in my living room. Moffat and Middleton nursed whiskys and hangovers in the corner. Ghostface and Lupe pulled out comics from the bookcase. The Boss and Waits played three-card stud at the dining table while Little Pauly Simon kept score. Yo La Tengo argued on the couch over who'd win in a fight between Lou Reed and John Cale. The Bad Seeds were taking turns pulling legs off flies.
'Not that I'm not pleased to see ya, fellas,' I said, lighting a cigarette, 'but it's getting late and so am I if I don't get some sleep. Let me call a cab or two.' A crash outside as a tree blew over. Out went the lights. I picked up the phone. No tone.
'Well, fellas', I says, settling into a chair with an exhalation of smoke, 'looks like we're here for the duration. Anyone got any good stories?' Their eyes lit up the room.

For this week's Get Back To 8-bit, I recommend you bring a lot of patience and some good humour as I'm delving deep into the musical bosch of William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy, bringing you the best (if you can call it that) they had to offer from their live and studio endeavours circa 1965-1975.

Once more Graeme Ronald joined his boyhood heroes on She Said for some sweaty, entertaining and musically eclectic silliness. We obliged him to discuss some recent gigging experiences and future recordings, some of which were aired exclusively on the show.
There were erudite musings, extraordinarily informed cultural insights and a good time was had all round.

Dear Friends and Outlaws,
I have just finished putting up the playlist for today's shows. As you will see, there are some great Dylan songs coming up, from his beginnings to the 70s. I'll also read two Allen Ginsberg poems, and extract from Jack Kerouac's 'On the Road' and the beginning of a Kurt Vonnegut short-story with the fantastic title 'Welcome to the Monkey House'. Hope you'll hear me and not get bored of my voice and choices! Haltet die Ohren Steif,

rocksteady special
Tonight on Argonaut Sounds it's a Rocksteady Special, with the first hour of the show being dedicated to late 60's sounds from Treasure Isle, Studio One and more, featuring tracks from Alton Ellis, the Paragons, Toots and the Maytals, Desmond Dekker, and the Techniques. You can count on hearing plenty of Impressions covers, sweet harmonies, and basslines which would go on to be used throughout the 70's and 80's and right up to the present day. We'll also play some more modern updates of some classic rocksteady riddims, and in the second hour will play our normal mix of reggae and dancehall old and new.

utter filth
Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites // 23.03.10
Since science has been keeping me away from the studio for a while, it felt like the only appropriate thing to do was deploy an array of absolutely filthy sounding riffs. Don your most mouldered clothing and prepare yourself for this fetid mass of putrid sound.

from bad to verse...
We thought you were 'ode' a treat this week, so the show had a poetry theme.. And a crying theme, but it's harder to think of puns for that. Listen again to hear things going from BAD to VERSE (copyright deadbeat club 2010) in the poetry competition, embarrassing crying anecdotes, and the terrifying discovery of some human feet in the studio.
Music-wise a playlist slip up means listeners are treated to the news that We Are All Prostitutes, rather than understanding why it is that Boys Don't Cry - but we may have found the answer (they've never listened to Will Young's All Time Love...)

sik on your face
The latest episode of SMLO, Subcity's home of riot grrrl, queercore, quirky-one-minute-spew-in-yer-face-hardcore-the-next rock and punk is now available to listen on line. Featuring tracks from La La Vasquez, New Bloods, Japanese Voyeurs and more. This week we also feature West Lothian's answer to tits-out 80s hair rock, The Amorettes (YASSSS!), and are inspired by them to dig out those gems of all-girl LA 80's spandex rock, Pandora's Box.

insert bad "house"/how's pun here
Two weeks ago Beat Beneath brought you raw warehouse beats, and last week went from minimal to bass, so this week's Beat Beneath is taking a housier direction. Expect everything from deep lushness to all-out funk, moving on to some of the finest tech house du jour.

episode 2 // hudson mohawke
"Subcity's a totally integral part of me"
The big chill dog of hip-hop Hudson Mohawke (aka DJ Itchy, aka DJ Mayhem, aka Culture City Kid, aka...you know who i mean) has been involved with Subcity since 1996, his no-niche, turntable virtuosity pushes hip-hop and club like no one has before. Ahead of a series of nights in Austin, Texas he chatters about his days with Pro Vinylist Karim, making hardcore choons (sic) with Cloudo, his first appearance on the station, LuckyMe and making more Hudson´s Heaters.
The show also features some of 1991´s finest breakbeat hardcore from a set of Shaun fae Solar´s newly digitized vinyl. Although the show is heavy on the beats, expect some beatless aural violence from Felix Kubin and a newly interpreted piece of Erik Satie´s work.
Posted at 12:17, 23rd March 2010

soundway afrobeat retrospective.....
Mapping Terra Incognita // 17.03.10
So Fela Kuti was, and still is incredibly influential in terms of how popular music was and is shaped worldwide. We know this. But just how did his style (in and out of the studio) influence his home country Nigeria upon his return from LA in 1970? The guys at Soundway records have recently released a plethora of compilations looking at the Afrobeat sensation, and MTI sifts through them to bring you a selection of the dance numbers that were tearing up the dancefloors of teh Highlife clubs throughout Lagos and Accra. Expect loose rhythms, messy horns and some shouting....this is the sexy sound of Afrobeat.
Sandwiched by some more recent efforts from the likes of Jay Electronica, Gonjasufi, Lost Productions and Scuba; this weeks MTI is jam-packed full of messy beats, jazz and razzmatazz. Brrrrraaaa!!!!

Streets of Rage has some new tracks, ahead of his spilt tape with Squirrels, the very same one-man thrash outfit comes in with some fresh tunes from Post Present Medium records and a homage to his BFF Alan. So swatch away for some new tracks, chatter and some news on the relocation of Methodist Leisure Inc. The show is smattered with beatless ambience, bay area scuzz and beats.

an exclusive and very exciting load of nonsense
A bit of a coup this week as we are joined live via shaky telephonic communications with Forkbeard Fantasy, purveyors of intelligent, irreverent, innovative and downright hilarious theatre extraordinaire. Fresh off the back of their performance of new show The Colour of Nonsense at the National Review of Live Art, Forkbeard proceed to be as foolish and madcap as only they can be, permitting us exclusive interviews of characters hitherto entirely fictional.
We also have new (and delightfully bonkers) music from local boy and live Initial Itch regular Micheal Egan and classic Poetry from Edward Lear. Furthermore, Steve launches a new feature, reading a work in progress and asking for your kind feedback.
Who are you to disappoint him? Get in touch with your thoughts, especially if you think you can do better, by emailing initialitch@flatratestate.com post-haste, and we will put your stuff on air.
Next week we'll be basking in the afterglow of the NRLA by asking what its value is in today's performance world, but for now, enjoy the nonsense.

It's been a while since Theez Boyz R Athletes indulged our listeners (and ourselves for that matter) in two genres close to our hearts; Funk and Disco. To put things right tonight's show will be dedicated entirely to these musical styles. I'll be joined in the studio by the enigmatic Gary "G-Money" Milne from Subcity's NASA show (http://www.subcity.org/shows/nasa). Expect everything from George Clinton to David Carretta with a bit of DâM-FunK, Midnight Star, Alden Tyrell, Lindstrom et al in between.

Just a quick reminder to all that Student For Scarves and Charm's first club night at The Flying Duck is TONIGHT. I'm currently baking cupcakes en masse and later we'll be off to The Flying Duck to hang the bunting, assemble the cupcake stand (it all sounds a bit V Day, doesn't it?) and set up our equipment at The Flying Duck.
We'll be in the Kitchen Bar while our friends Lock Up Your Daughters are in the main room. The entry price is £4/5 and includes entry to both nights, a cupcake (if you're early enough) and an issue of Lock Up Your Daughters.

Hello. Just to thank all those who gave me encouraging comments after last weeks show and it can actually only get better, hopefully. I'll be playing quite a mix of Blues, Jazz and Folk today. In my opinion most songs I chose mix into each others genres though. There are some real classics coming up, so listen to Geschichtenwerkstatt.
Apologies for my bamboozling announcements by the end that had little to do with what I was playing.

on the iron highway - sat 20th march 1-2 pm
Hey folks,
This week's show is a genre-busting selection of train tunes. From songs about literal choo choos, to metaphorical stories of lost love, tales of adventure and misadventure, or just another dance craze; the train is a common theme in popular music.
I'll be playing a variety of examples from the worlds of funk, soul, pop, rock, reggae, electronica and whatever else I can fit in. Artists may well include the likes of Kraftwerk, The J.B.s, The Resident Filters, Dennis Brown, Chuck Berry and The Clash.
The Weird But Wonderful is a choice between a couple of ladies who forgot to turn up at the station:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcX1AC0HgyA&feature=related
1. Aretha Franklin - Walk On By
Classic. I don't really need to tell you anything about this one, do I? Dionne Warwick's original of this Bacharach & David belter is probably better known, but I love this version by the woman they call, 'The Queen Of Soul'.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG8gcUfKrug
2. Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made For Walking
Another classic tune. Written and produced by pop maverick Lee Hazlewood, this track could be considered an accidental 'answer record' to Walk On By. Nancy sure won't be shedding no tears, no how.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.
Alternatively, you can check them out and email me back here.

nonsense & peppermints
As any regular listener would know, we do like our FUN on One Louder, that's why this week's episode of One Louder features silly, nonsensical and downright ridiculous lyrics - everything from made-up words and weird noises to just plain silly stuff.
WARNING: Will probably feature a bit more giggling than usual.

drowning in a sea of glitch
With Nathan unable to make the show, Marco has invited his friend Calum into the studio for an hour of glitch and IDM. Both genres are renowned for their complexity and often out-of-time rhythm patters, but most of all for being acquired tastes.
Expect to hear some warped sounds, with some rather unnerving samples, carried along by unconventional drum-beats that appear to run away from themselves.

the war in afghanistan
After the major conference hosted by the University of Glasgow this week regarding the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan. Dr Alex Marshall, current convenor of the War Studies Centre based at the University of Glasgow will be joining us in the studio this Sunday to discuss the issues that currently face Afghanisation now and in the future.
The conference itself discussed how much progress was being made by US President Obama's troop surge, problems facing the coalition in Afghanistan and the growing drug manufacture problem in Afghanistan.
Listen from 0945 to 1030 and send in your questions and comments to debate@subcity.org.
You can watch some the discussions that took place during the conference here. Please note this is very bandwith intensive.
You may also be interested in an interview Professor Marc Genest, who was one of the key note speakers at the conference gave on Newsnight Scotland on Monday night.

calvin johnson never meant anything to me
Students for Scarves and Charm // 16.03.10
Students for Scarves and Charm presents a long over due tribute to K Records, DIY independent music label founded by Calvin Johnson (of Beat Happening, Cool Rays, Dub Narcotic Sound System... he's been in a lot of bands, OK?) with the motto: "Exploding the teenage underground into passionate revolt against the corporate ogre since 1982."
Though K Records has been home to a diverse range of artists from Modest Mouse to Beck to Built to Spill, we will mainly be focusing on the label's twee bands such as Beat Happening, Heavenly, Talulah Gosh, The Softies and Tiger Trap who have inspired a new generation of sensitive kids in anoraks and cardigans to make ramshackle and catchy pop music with their hearts on their sleeves and caught in their throats.
But that's enough from us, hear Jeffrey Lewis explain it all in his song Low-Budget Documentary On K Records here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CoMdq7k7Fo

rave night
That's right people, tomorrow night on build+destroy from 8pm i'll be playing an hour of old skool rave-y goodness. I'll be kicking things off with something a bit random before playing 56 minutes of fabulous tunes from the legendary Suburban Base record label. Andrew's off on his holiday so I can get away with this kind of thing :)
Glow sticks, dust masks, and whistles at the ready...

gentle, tuneful, makeshift but lovingly unkempt...
So when we paused for a moment's reflection to think how best to describe our selections for tonight's amazing show, these were the words that graced our tongues. Not once did the words erotic, sensual or arousing come to mind yet inevitably and poetically all these sensations truly did fill the room and meander over the airwaves.
I guess you would have expected no less.
Yes indeed.

fox news, with lizo mzimba
"We've got no excuse for being shambolic this week" famous last words from our second ever show (still rookies! still learning! still exempt from blame.) Tune in this week for Anna's beautifully crafted (just not so beautifully executed) playlist, embarrassing animal crushes, and possibly another reason why Lizo spent so much time hanging around the CBBC studios.

bizarrely, richard pryor might = star wars canon.
I'm avoiding any "Long Time Ago" humour here and keeping it as real as a white kid from a somewhat middle class upbringing can do. This week's Get Back To 8-bit will refrain from raising any bullshit midichlorian count when I broadcast a selection of songs about the Star Wars universe. Try not to get too bogged down by the nerdery this Thursday @ 14:00, won't you?

badfellas and un-wise guys
What a week of releases we have! First off, Martin Scorsese - arguably the finest American director currently working - is back this week with Shutter Island, a slice of pulpy B-movie goodness staring Marty’s current leading man of choice, Leonardo DiCaprio. Nick and Graham hitch a ride on the last ferry to the titular wave battered rock to review the insanity within.
If that wasn’t enough, the golden duo of Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon, director and star of the - almost* - universally adored Bourne movies, hit the big screen this week with their familiar shaky-cam shenanigans in Green Zone, the fourth Bourne installment in all but name.
In a subliminal homage to these films this week’s show is a macho affair, brimming with testosterone filled arguments and gratuitous swearing. Screen Shrapnel don’t make up for their sins in church. They do it in the cinema. They do it in the Subcity studio. They talk a lot of bullshit and they know it.
Go on, have a listen; you'll only be slightly disappointed.
*for the record, one of the Shapnel trio think that Doug Liman’s first Bourne installment (The Bourne Identity) is far superior to Greengrass‘ efforts

Unfortunately I wasn't around on Sat night due to pressing stag doo matters (not mine) but don't fret for I've put together a nice pre-recorded mix of some Detroit-leaning electro slabs for you to enjoy, feat our friends from Pest Control Records (http://www.pestcontrolrecords.com/) as well as choice cuts from the likes of Jimmy Edgar, Aux88, Alden Tyrell and many many more.
I'll be back next week in the studio live as it happens on stage in person live. So tune in.

'Legendary Live' features a couple of the best songs of the late sixties 'British Blues Boom' by Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. And the third item of the show, 'Still Got The Blues', brings you the best of 21st century Tennessee Blues rock combined with smooth jazzy influenced songs by two fantastic female musicians!

the missing episode
If you are wondering why there is no available show since 'selling out', it's because well...em? - we did do a show. If you were listening live to Live from Las Vegas at the usual time of 2:00pm on a Friday then you will know of the joys of sports and sports songs in our 'sports' episode (I wouldn't want to put words in your mouth but some critics who heard it described it as "the greatest audio experience known to mankind"). As well as enjoying the wonderfully anarchic tomfoolery of the show you might also have noticed that we were not scheduled to be on. Well, we noticed that too... about twenty seven minutes into the show. After that time if you listened carefully, even though we are professionals, you can hear (faintly) the fear and panic in our voices (especially in Allan's).
As we weren't meant to be on - the show can't be linked to the page. This means, unfortunately, this master class in radio isn't available to Joe Public.
What happens next? I'm unsure. Maybe one day on one of those BBC four documentaries at three in the morning they'll unearth the piece of radio gold that is 'sport'. Until then maybe take a little time out of your day, close your eyes and imagine what might have been if sport had been - LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS.

journeys - funky - sat 13th march 2010 - 1-2 pm
Hey folks,
Journeys seems to be slowly progressing it's way through the decades at the moment, for some reason. In recent weeks we've had the Rock 'n' Roll of the 1950s, then the Psychedelic weirdness of the 1960s and now, this week, we will be enjoying some 1970s funk!
Expect to hear from the likes of Kool And The Gang, The Ohio Players, Slave, Parliament, Vicki Anderson, Lynn Collins, Amnesty and more.
This week's Weird But Wonderful contenders are a couple of recent releases that seek to relive the good ol' days, when music was 'real' and really funky:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAyWhrHig5U
1. Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings - Genuine
A 2004 release on Brooklyn's excellent Daptone records, this is properly proper.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCyIWGKjmUA&feature=related
2. Spanky Wilson & The Quantic Soul Orchestra - Don't Joke With a Hungry Man
This one is a 2006 release, on Tru-Thoughts in the UK, and features a genuine 60s soul legend in Spanky Wilson. This updating of her sound for the 21st Century by Quantic (Will Holland) works pretty darn well. (Bonus: check out her 1969 recording of Cream's 'Sunshine Of Your Love' for the best cover version ever! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC2Je89JhS8)
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.
Check out the Journeys MySpace for direct access to the Weird But Wonderful songs and videos, and extra musical content from last week's show (will update again after this show broadcasts), on the Music Player: http://www.myspace.com/journeysradioshow

warehouse sessions
Partly to bring in the new slot in style, and partly due to a recent gig of mine being cut off early for, erm, legal reasons, this week's show is eschewing the usual hint of melody for an hour dedicated to dark, raw, and dirty warehouse techno. Expect tunes from such filth wizards as Dustin Zahn, Sian and Ben Klock, and it's highly recommended that you listen to the show on a system with a decent amount of bass otherwise it won't really work, laptop speakers aren't gonna cut it here...

Why there is no escape in the afterlife from the grim spectre of capitalism. And the perkilations on the M8 are nearly complete! That's all the info I'll be spilling for now, so you'll need to tune into Get Back To 8-bit on Thursday the 11th @ 14:00 to find out what's up.

Recording takes place at The University of Glasgow on the 11th of March at 1930 and will be broadcast on the 12th.

blame science and the 15th birthday
Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites
I'm afraid there'll be not show this week due to science again. Some immunostaining has taken far longer than I expected so I'm stuck in the lab.
If you are feeling a desperate need to hear my voice and can't wait till next week, you can listen to the 15th Birthday broadcast where I helped out with the presenting for the first couple of hours.

put down your sad fake guitar and go old school.
Because one wasn't enough, this week's Get Back To 8-bit returns to the well and devotes an hour of precious airtime to some of the most classic, greatest contemporary and some of my favourite video game themes. Expect those you know and those you don't yet, with a hefty lump of chat-based Materia (Maybe if I get enough Summon Materia I can secure a co-host) of only the finest quality. It's Thursday the 11th March @ 14:00. Insert coin to play!

sad and beautiful world
This week: any festivities planned for the move to the new timeslot of Tuesdays at 6pm have been superceded by the untimely death of Sparklehorse's Mark Linkous this past weekend. New tracks from Titus Andronicus, Johnny Cash and The Unwinding Hours and a Sun Kil Moon classic in the first half, then an extended tribute to Linkous himself in the second, with tracks from sometime collaborators PJ Harvey, The Flaming Lips and Teenage Fanclub, and, in the #1 Records slot, Sparklehorse's own timeless debut Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot.

[insert terrible pun on the word "cover" here]
Source Tags and Mixtapes // 08.03.10
Right, so this week we're doing the inevitable covers show, but we hope we've made it a bit more interesting than your average one. We've got a fairly soft-rock feel to this one, but with a couple of changes in tone here and there (comedy in the form of Danananananaykroyd taking the piss out of auto-tune, and a harrowing Leonard Cohen cover by Harvey Milk). As usual, we're fulfilling those requests as well. Let's just say we're got it covered, amirite? See you next week for a return to the regular format.

headlights :: upcoming shows
As usual we have tons of people on our list of potential interviewees, but whilst not everybody finds the time or the will to talk to us, we have arranged two very interesting interviews for the upcoming shows: We are going to speak to Bruce Lawson from Opera Software | webstandards.org about Web standards and the new browser choice screen adopted by Microsoft in response to to an EU lawsuit. This is for the geeks of you, albeit not exclusively so. Furthermore we are planning to interview Susan Stuart on machine consciousness, and possibly the ontology of digital objects.
As usual, feel free to send in any questions, comments and suggestions regarding these interview to headlights@antipattern.net.
Fingers crossed that everything works out as planned and you'll get an interesting show!

elliot bulmer on the iraq war
We have spoken to Elliot Bulmer about the 2003 invasion of Iraq. During the invasion he was a member of a psy-ops team. He tells us how he got into this position, what he did in Iraq and assesses the prospects for democracy.
This show isn't just a commentary on the Iraq war, but a story that could come right from a movie.
Elliot Bulmer is currently writing his Ph.D. Thesis titled "A Free Scotland? A Critique of the SNP's Draft Constitution". If you're interested in this topic, you should check outan episode of Christian's old show, Jus de Pomme: Elliot Bulmer on constitutions.

Thanks to all who tuned in last night, was a lot of fun, if not perfect! There are a few things that need to be ironed out (such as me refusing to stop mentioning Southern!) but as time goes this will improve and the show will get better because of it!

ok..so the show starts at 31:58 if your listening back.
this is officially my bad! i showed up like an eager beaver thinking i'm half an hour early for my show, only to find out i'm a grade A douche and i was in fact half an hour late.
still managed to squeeze in some great tunes though.
we'll make up for it next week by making it a blinder of a show!

street art good, body art bad
You might have noticed that there are some film awards happening this weekend. That’s right! the inaugural Shrapnel awards come to a close with awards going to the finest directors and films of the year. Oh, we also discuss a smaller, less prestigious award ceremony happening tomorrow night (7 March): the Oscars.
On to this weeks releases…step aside Harry Potter; get lost Twilight; that goes for you too Lovely Bones, because there is a new literary sensation about to spew into our multiplexes: the late Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy, a triptych of thrillers that sees odd couple protagonists Mikael Blomkist, a straight laced, middle-aged hack with a face like a potato, and Lisbeth Salander, a mysterious twenty-four-year-old streetwise hacker with the arms of a lumberjack, investigate the nefarious goings on in that dangerous crime hotbed, Sweden. But does the first in the trilogy, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, do for the crime thriller what Let the Right One In did for the vampire movie? Tune in to find out.
Also on the show: we discuss the directorial debut from Bristol’s cultural icon Banksy, street artist, provocateur, vandal and now, with Exit Through the Gift Shop, documentarian; and we hear from horror expert and all round lovely chap Alan Jones, who tells us about a 1970s horror film that any cineaste worth his/her salt should own.
These are the demented sounds of Screen Shrapnel. Have a listen, but please…don’t have nightmares

synth @ the brunswick hotel (fri 12th march)
Synth @ the Brunswick Hotel // Fri 12th March // £5/4 (Before 10.30pm) // 9pm-2am
MGCK - THAT DIRTY LATINO - TARANTISM - SHAPES!- JOE CROGAN (Visuals)
In 2010 SYNTH is going on a great big disco journey. We've ditched any rules for an 'as and when' attitude. We want to throw parties wherever and whenever. That is why this particular disco journey is a bit different, we want to bring back the PARTY, whether it be in the basement of a hotel or the attic of a West End tenemant, all that matters is the music & the people.
No one likes organised fun....
So, starting in the illuminated sweatbox that is The Brunswick Hotel Basement we have:
MGCK (Mixkings): 'A mad talented young buck' with more sub bass then Barry White waxing lyrical on a South London dubplate. Expect a downright dangerous mix of UK funky, ribcage rattling dubstep & bassline bruising house.
THAT DIRTY LATINO: A comeback performance worth crackin' out the personal planner for. Barrientos has been flying the flag solo for a while now, but come March 12th both the boys are going to be laying down the flithiest fidget funkers this side of the nut house.
TARANTISM (Subcity): Another double act causing quite a stir on the Glasgow scene, Marco & Nathan will be providing the finest blend of deep house, disco & tech to get you moving. Check out their radio show on Subcity....your ears will thank you.
SHAPES!: Do I really want to write about myself in the third person?

psychedelic, baby! - sat 6th march 2010 - 1-2 pm
Hey folks,
Apologies for the lack of a show last week. Was just too busy to get it put together and, rather than bring you inferior product, I decided I needed a week off to recharge the old musical batteries!
This week's show follows in the footsteps of the Rock 'n' Roll show of last time, making the short trip from there into '60s psychedelia.
Almost everybody with a record deal went psychedelic in the late 1960s and I'll be playing a selection of some of the original psyche pioneers, such as the likes of the 13th Floor Elevators, Country Joe & The Fish, The Electric Prunes, Love and Jefferson Airplane - as well as some less likely psychedelic dabblers, such as The Temptations and Muddy Waters.
There is no doubting that The Beatles were the band that most succesfully commercialised the psychedelic sound and this week's Weird But Wonderful vote features a couple of songs related to that fact:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Biu95fyvmLI
1. John Fred & The Playboys - Judy In Disguise (With Glasses)
An affectionate lampooning of probably the most well know song about drugs ever recorded; 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds', this near-contemporaneous 'cover' actually knocked 'Hello, Goodbye' off the top of the US singles chart in January 1968.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DjWpq8Oyoc
2. Candyflip - Strawberry Fields Forever
Named for the rather dubious practice of taking LSD and Ecstasy in tandem, Candyflip produced one of the most cynical pieces of over-earnest retro-psyche-pop of the whole 'Madstock' era. Although it manages to ruin not just a Beatles classic, but also the 'Funky Drummer' break used so famously in the previous year's Stone Rose track 'Fool's Gold' (although on that track it was recreated by the drummer Mani rather than sampled, I think); I still, for some unknown reason, quite like this track!?!
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.
Check out the Journeys MySpace for direct access to the Weird But Wonderful songs and videos, and extra musical content from last week's show (will update again after this show broadcasts), on the Music Player: http://www.myspace.com/journeysradioshow

BAAMMMM!
ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN is on Subcity Radio Thursday, 5-7pm! There shall be loads of quality rock, roll, punk, garage, psych, sleaze, surf, glam, blues and metal, plus all the usual features.
This week's show also contains scenes of a disturbing nature, provocotive lyrics, goblins, favourite symphonys of mine, huge rip-offs, conspiracy theories, overly-competative musicians, northern soul classics, even bigger rip-offs - all presented in a strange, sinister kind of vibe.
Send an email, request a tune: studio@subcity.org Text 'subcity' for a similar thing to: 07766 40 41 42

how many monkeys does it take to change a lifetime
You dirty fools, get down and pray for even more Get Back To 8-bit action and so it shall be done. This week, I discuss the shortening of the day via global earthquake buggery, why the 'Mirror, Mirror' Gerald is so much hotter than the regular Gerald, Take Your kid to work day going wrong, Robot Astronauts IN SPAAAAAACE and why not every kid's toy makes for a good movie idea. In addition, I caress your ear holes with my wholly Jonathan Coulton playlist, so you'll get two kings of geeks for the price of one. Join me Thursday the 4th March @ 14:00 on subcity.org or you can download it later on.

mogwai action on subcity....
And so it came to pass the She Said team once again strode manfully where others fear to tread with an exclusive Mogwai event on Subcity. More precisely, this week's show featured the delightful presence of Stuart Braithwaite and Martin Bulloch and a beguiling mix of tunes and chatter.
And so we were given the low-down on the new film Burning, progress with current rehearsals, how Errors might just make the guys their fortune, Martin’s affairs of the heart and the potential for Mogwai incorporating bagpipes into a recording!
And nobody mentioned football once!

gothenburg belongs to us
Students for Scarves and Charm // 02.03.10
Another show full of fantastic music begins with Swedes Mojib, Air France and The Radio Dept. heralding the end of winter with some gloriously sunny and upbeat tunes, followed by a more sedate second half featuring dreamy songs from Lali Puna, Au Revoir Simone and Asobi Seksu (who sample The Crystals, NOT the Big Breakfast theme tune).
Our Unsigned Act this week was Conquering Animal Sound who we sadly missed at the Pin Ups night last Friday. You can hear more from them at: http://www.myspace.com/conqueringanimalsound and download a mixtape by them here: http://www.last.fm/music/Conquering+Animal+Sound/Your+Friends%3A+The+Mixtape if you are so inclined.
We also discuss suspicious similarities between the lives of Bicola's mother and Indiana Jones, witnessing an uprising of old ladies, why Gordon Brown is just a bear in a tie and our new found love of Drew Barrymore and roller derby aspirations.
See you next week!
Mairiclare and Bicola

knives get in the way of music
Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites
I'm currently stuck in the lab stabbing cells with a knife and taking picture of the results so unfortunately there'll be no show tonight.
In good news, I'll be helping to present the coverage of the Subcity 15th Birthday party on the 6th March. The line up is pretty sweet and the sounds system will be a beast, so it should be a damn good night. Get down to the Arches for it if you can or listen to the coverage here if you can't make it.

E: I think I don't want to play anymore.
V: You can get this. I know YOU can get this: I spy with my little eye something beginning with H that you would use-

sex
Live From Las Vegas // 19.02.10
As a director of porn I am often strapped on to some of the clichés associated with the other artists that toil in the same creative vineyard as I. The difference with my work and so many others, I find, is I put my soul in every frame. Sometimes just in the corner – other times in the other corner. A lot of my films are allegories for the short stories of Franz Kafka: ‘Cum Guzzlers 4’ was in many ways like Metamorphosis. Many ways. Everything is important on set and in every frame. What does the Bosch painting in the room say about the characters? What are all the books on the shelf saying about their relationship? Why does this character wear a mask? Because he’s a gimp, is the answer. When I’m filming two girls in love and going for it I tell them, I say: “hey Crystal show us what you’re feeling. Your boyfriend Buck isn’t here, you feel unsure about your feelings towards Candy. When you lick her out, show her your insecurities, your fears and also your burning desire to make a connection with another human being. That’s right get into it – spank her!”

shortly, there will be a pause
Having successfully negotiated a show on the fine student radio station known as Subcity. We (Martin, Chris and Rory) have begun our plans for our first show.
'Start Making Sense' is a show where we introduce themes into the equation, it's a cocktail of music, facts and discussion.
So, with this in mind - where better to start than at the beginning?
Hope you'll be listening Thursday night ( or arguably Friday morning ) 2AM, Subcity Radio.

Dance Tonight, Revolution Tomorrow! // 03.03.10
Ok... I'll level with you all. Alot has been happening in the Dance Tonight, Revolution Tomorrow camp that has prevented us from causing a disturbance for the past month or so (stolen macbooks, losing presenters to 9-5 office slavery etc etc) but we shall be back tomorrow, that's a promise, or ye can kick my head in.
I've been filling the new itunes library with alot of old school scandinavian death metal from the late 80's and early 90's - when riffs were HORRID and GRUESOME and EVIL (f*** your 'tech' nonsense). Expect mosh from the likes of Nihilist, Entombed, Carnage et al as well as the obligatory DEMILICH tune (really can't get enough of those dudes).
There'll be chat about the aforementioned break in, probably involving puns and also a ramshackle spontaneous review of poser-tastic black metal documentary 'Until The Light Takes Us' (which was actually not too bad, Varg is one charming man).
Later Y'all

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 01.03.10
It's officially March 2010, a month which will surely go down as reasonably epic for new album releases. To celebrate, we play a promo from the new Titus Andronicus album and launch our new feature "I Care Because You Don't". J-Ham has a dozy morning. Oh, we're also still pushing "The Room", which is surely the best bad movie ever made. Listeners who went to the Mogwai film screening and DJ set last night - let us know how it was!

the chicken..or the egg
eminem is playing at TintheP.
eminem is 37
eminem is actually awesome, he's always been a guilty pleasure of mine. i cant believe he's 37. i'm pretty sure he slated moby in one of his songs a while back for still going at 35. ach well, we all have our sore spots...sometimes i worry that i might be a little bit too handsome. but i've had to deal with it my whole life, so you just kinda come to terms with it after a while.
anyways. i didnt even play any eminem on this show, that really was quite a tangent. i would love to but daytime-radio-show-friendly eminem songs are few and far between. if i were to bleep out all the swearing on one of his tracks it would just end up sounding like something by Kraftwerk.
today we went to town on dubstep and wonky hiphop, get this episode turned up because its all about the bass! the track by Shlohmo is one of my favourites just now, if you like that then check out the remix by Tokimonsta as well, its a blinder.
Itch! vs Thunder Disco Club...this saturday at the Art School! get yourselves along to see grown men cry like little girls on stage. knuckle dusters are packed and ready to go. check it out here ---> http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=282884602413&ref=nf#!/event.php?eid=282884602413&ref=mf

Anyway, providing I make it down to the studio tonight I'll be bringing new remixes from Skream, Cassian & Riva Starr, a sensational Blog Burner from Delphic & L-Vis 1990, your essential run down of all the hottest parties going on in Glasgow this weekend plus an exceptionally hot guest mix from That Dirty latino...

bottle rocket be back
last week i was in berlin doing film festivally things, which i had hoped would influence the first radio show back. turns out nothing i saw had a decent soundtrack (apart from wee bits of 'the kids are alright', but that was cack...). however, i did see eddie argos of art brut and dyan valdes of the blood arm in their new, spiffingly-named outfit everybody was in the french resistance...now!, so expect to hear something from their debut album.
while i was away deutschlanding, mike was in glasgow keeping the bottle rocket clubnight on the road. by all accounts, it was a mega-ace-coolio evening, and we'll have the playlist up in the next few days (once we've managed to decipher the handwriting...). can't wait that long? then i'll play something from saturday night tomorrow too - that alright?
also on the cards - new music from fursaxa, kind of new music from four tet, and not-new-but-exciting-atp-addition joanna newsom. ooooooh yeah

level thirtytwo vs. dirty basement
Having just confirmed a versus with Alibi for the 26th of March in La Cheetah Club, we asked Dirty Basement to come have a wee warm up set live on Subcity, this show is the end result, filled with wobbly goodness and the usual glitchy nonsense from both parties. It consists of 2 half hour back to backs from each of us, then on to a full scale back to front with one tune from each side for the last hour, so it's 32, DB, 32, DB, and so on...
The night's sure to be a belter, we've got the bold Indra rocking some dubstep on our side and Digital Stitch supporting the Alibi cause, expect cheap entry, bangin' tunes and a bit of mischief to keep you on your toes.
Warm up will be provided by 32's favourite newcomer Floyd, she'll be staying on the crowd's side for this one playing anything and everything to get you dancing.
Keep your eyes and ears peeled over the next couple of weeks for more details on the event and cheapo deals for you listeners.

back to the roots: samples special
Samples are those looping breaks, chopped & mixed up, to make the beats that are the backbone of countless hip hop classics.
This week, we've got n hour of the records that made The Records, if you get what we mean....
everyone from Ike Turner to Funkadelic and a lil bit of The Isley Brothers will be played out.
See if you can catch the sample in amongst the sounds.... here's to history and its constant re-making.

the funeral
Source Tags and Mixtapes // 22.02.10
As discussed in a previous show, we felt that it was time to retire the "Hand It Over" feature. This show is almost totally dedicated to said feature, and to mourn its demise, we played a variety of gloomy artists who lent their sound to a mystery band. Listeners could guess who the mystery band was throughout the course of the show to win a copy of the album by Dinosaur Jr. that lent its name to the feature. Regular listener Tim (really, he puts you all to shame) ended up getting it in the end. If you're on listen again and want to play along, don't click on the playlist before listening all the way through.
Also, correction on the weblink given out on this show - it's actually brazenink.com.

In short what your gonna get is the original track sampled, followed by the hip hop track.

the changing face of media
With the launch of Scotland's first all-digital news magazine, questions about the vitality of traditional - that's ink on paper - print media arise. How widely read is it? How are changes in technology affecting it? Is the transition to digital media inevitable, and will that affect the way news is reported? As awed as we all are by the advance of the all-encompasing digital world, there's nothing like reading an actual newspaper.
Headlines
Read by Kirsty Malcolm and Rose Henderson. Written by James Humphries, Kitty Dan and Rose Henderson.
The Changing Face of Media It's 2010. iPhone is a household brand, the internet is everywhere and devices like the Kindle, smartphones and the soon-to-be everywhere iPad have had a massive effect on the way news is viewed and produced. Scotland's first all-online paper, The Student Punch just recently launched, posing some interesting questions. Why digital only? How do these changes affect the news cycle? Do papers on paper still have a place? Tom Bonnick of the Glasgow University Guardian and Rhona Campbell of the BBC weigh in.

deathpodal could genuinely brighten your day....
Okay so here's the script.
Glasgow's newest independent label, Electropapknit Records, are about to celebrate their first release. The debut ep from Deathpodal is titled Exu_Wow and was recorded across Scotland featuring a variety of musicians including members of Copy Haho and PVH.
We here at She Said truly believe the view that Deathpodal bring together "post punk, DIY recording techniques, warm undulating melodies and a cacophony of instrumentation". Tonight, Alastair (the focal point of the collective) and Gav (collaborator and old friend of the show) joined us to preview the ep and chat in the loving sensual manner you’ve come to expect by now.
Listen in, check out the links and tell us what you think.
Whilst we're at it, this is your last chance to win 2 Fuck Buttons tickets for the show at the Arches on 24 April. Just message the show's address above with the name of the first Fuck Buttons album. One lucky person will have their name drawn from the hat live on air on the show on 27 February. Cheers to Grainne at Synergy Concerts for the tickets.

the underground velvet underground
This week: an attempt to quantify Midlake's standing as a good band following a live show that veered dangerously close to Jethro Tull; the triumphant return of Gil Scott-Heron; and proof of John Cale's total dominance of Lou Reed in the #1 Record, Sabotage/Live.

Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 18.02.10
Well that's last weeks and this weeks shows up to listen again. Last week Nick was absent, however we still managed a live set with the lovely Baldego, head to www.myspace.com/baldego after you've listened to the show. After that you could do worse than checking out this weeks show when The Dirt joined us to do a couple of songs. If murder ballads are your sort of thing (think Violet Femmes) then I would most definitely have a listen. You can also find them at www.myspace.com/thedirtmusic Plus both shows have the usual mix of upcoming gigs and light banter. Enjoy!

the blues had a baby - sat 20th feb 2010 - 1-2pm
Hey folks,
Not had much time for the show this week, so gonna keep this reasonably brief.
Due to the inexcusable and terrible inconsistency of a certain SPL football team, I have definitely had the blues this week. Since around 9.30 PM on Tuesday to be exact.
However, this week's show is about escaping those blues rather than wallowing in them, so I'll be playing the much more chipper 'son of the Blues' - good ol' fashioned Rock 'n' Roll!
Expect to hear from the likes of Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Carl Perkins, Big Mama Thornton, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Frankie Lymon, Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry, as well as whoever else I can squeeze in!
This week's Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of songs with Rock & Roll in the title:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHyUYxBXLdc
1. Led Zeppelin - Rock & Roll
Rocky.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjAi7MgRBhM
2. Apparat Organ Quartet - Stereo Rock & Roll
Rolly.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.
Alternatively, you can check them out and email me back here.
Check out the Journeys myspace for direct access to the Weird But Wonderful songs and videos and extra musical content from last week's show (will update again after this show broadcasts) on the Music Player: http://www.myspace.com/journeysradioshow

misery loves company.
Its true.
Following one of this terms more debauched nights on the town...it would be fair to say the Casio Canteen reprobates were not operating quite at 100 percent. The tunes are finger lickin' jizz-worthy. the banter leaves the stale taste of flat beer and cigarettes in your mouth. We may have been feeling a little sorry for ourselves. self inflicted. rock and roll.
This week we were very lucky to be joined in the studio by none other than handsome hero-of-the-hour Son of Sven. Giving you his thoughts and feelings for the week, he imparts his worldly wisdom like a tall, muscular buddha.

dr. kermode and mr. darcy
The Glasgow Youth Film Festival kicked off in earnest on Thursday (11 Feb) with Scouting Book for Boys, the directorial debut of Tom Harper starring Thomas Turgoose (This is England, Somers Town). Screen Shrapnel was there, listen to find out what we thought.
From unrequited love to the love that dare not speak its name, we review A Single Man, directed by another debuting Tom – fashion genius and savior of Gucci, Tom Ford.
Also on this week’s show: we kick-off our new, awkwardly titled feature – Films the Great-Unwashed Should Have Seen but Probably Haven’t – with a contribution from the finest radio critic working in the UK (Screen Shrapnel being a close seconds, by-the-way), the inimitable Dr. Mark Kermode; and the shrapnel awards continue this week with some metaphorical statuettes winging their way to the finest male actors of the year.
Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed

2009 continues to haunt MTI. I bring you up-front music when I can, but when I trawl through the hoards of excellent bits and bobs that made up 2009, there is still so much to exhibit on the prestigious stage that is Subcity Radio.
With some new form RnB in the form of Shaunise and Erykah Badu, a 2010 bonafide anthem in the form of New Orleans own Jay Electronica, some old scholl funk & jazz with Dee Felice Trio & some Archie Sheep, and MTI gets dark by thrifting through some Christoph de Babalon, Martin Kemp & the ever excellent Pangaea.
All killer...no filler; jazz for the dancefloor. Tune in and turn it up.

bigo sex disease: you gotta shoot 'em in the head!
The 11th's Get Back To 8-bit was more than a little strange. The most visited by outside forces who came and went as they pleased, so it made for some interesting banter to say the least. A big thanks to Kerry, Ciaran and Ruaraidh for the use of their voiceboxes over the hour. Also, apologies to any girls listening because of our openness of how mental you are. Well. I'm sorry... the boys aren't. Here are the news items from the show... I never did get around to talking about the Google Street view madness I wanted to, so that'll happen later.

Finally, I have a comedy cold so expect much sneezing at all the wrong moments...

for the geeks, not linked to a show in particular.
Why is it this mashup can pretty much cover most of the themes covered in the original Ghost In The Shell but be 1000% more coherent?

journeys - we got latin soul - sat 13th feb 2010 -
Hey folks,
This week's show jumps on the BBC's recent Latin music bandwagon (http://www.bbc.co.uk/musictv/latinmusicusa/).
I'll be playing a selection of Nuyorican, Cuban, Mexican, Brazilian, Puerto Rican and other Latin-based tunes.
Artists likely to features include Mongo Santamaria, Joe Bataan, Afro-Cuban All Stars, Ray Barretto, Jorge Ben and more.
The Weird But Wonderful contenders are plucked from the excellent 1996 Masters At Work collaboration with a number of Latin music legends; the eponymous album, 'Nuyorican Soul':
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVHW1LCE6vI
1. Nuyorican Soul ft. India - Runaway
Originally recorded by the Salsoul Orchestra, with Loleatta Holloway on vocals, back in 1977; this version is pretty faithful and features a number of the original Salsoul musicians.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIZnbWl3qbw
2. Nuyorican Soul ft. Jocelyn Brown - I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun
Another fairly faithful (but updated for the House generation) cover - this time of the Rotary Connection's 1971 original.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.
Check out the Journeys myspace for direct access to the Weird But Wonderful songs and videos and extra musical content from last week's show (will update again after this show broadcasts) on the Music Player: http://www.myspace.com/journeysradioshow

re: subcity hosts. would you? i bet you would.
On this week's Get Back To 8-bit, Me and the returning Kerry will discuss what the effin' shit is going on with Google Street View, take the time to examine Michael Jackson's hard drive, delve into the possibilities of the most incredible piece of candy that will murder you and get an enormous rage-on for early contenders in 2010's 'Biggest Waste Of Money' category. In addition, there'll be a playlist of songs celebrating the underdog geeks in their pursuit of unconventional, unrequited and waste of damn time love. Join in on Thursday, 14:00, on subcity.org or download later in the day.

girls only want that john cusack boombox scene.
While my rhythmic circulation muscle might be made of darkest adamantium, I can still acknowledge that sometimes we geeks need to be loved. Because it's especially hard for the most ardent MMORPGers to get that shame and Wotsits stink off and attract a mate, this week's Get Back To 8-bit is dedicated to all those more at ease tugging themselves than tugging heart strings via songs of a supremely nerd-laden style. It's Thursday the 11th February @ 14:00. Do join in.

bombay bicycle club
On the 5th February Bombay Bicycle Club performed an exclusive set for Subcity ahead of their appearance on the NME Awards tour. Performing in the somewhat unusual venue of the Glasgow University Concert Hall, the band played a free acoustic set to over 100 fans.
The set features tracks off their début album, as well as a couple of exclusive tracks from an upcoming acoustic album which you'll have to wait a wee while to hear elsewhere.
The band join the ranks of bands to have played for Subcity Sessions before including Franz Ferdinand and Shit Disco. However whilst you listen to the set, check out some of the other shows to have a place in their heart for Bombay Bicycle Club, where you can win signed copies of the band's debut album; as well as staying glued to the podcasts section where you'll soon get a chance to download the interview with BBC as well as numerous other bands we've bumped into.
All this coincides with the Subcity 15th Birthday party, where we'll be celebrating 15 years of musical diversity and playlist free radio.

next bottle rocket: 20th feb, nice n sleazy
i flipping well love inland empire. one of my favourite films OF ALL TIME IN THE WORLD EVER. also, incidentally, one of the most exciting cinema experiences i've had, courtesy of the glasgow film festival a few years back. every year the list sponsors a screening of a top secret mystery movie, with the audience buying a ticket blind and hoping that they get something good. judging by the steady dribble of exasperated punters leaving constantly throughout, a three hour headfuck wasn't what everyone had in mind (i reckon the festival organisers realised this themselves: last year we got the gentle norweigan comedy o horten, and the year before that the chucklesome and nostalgic son of rambow - far more suitable saturday night fare...).
which brings me to this week's radio show. i'm off to berlin the week after next, so this thursday's show has to cover two weeks of events and releases rather than the typical one. were i in the country, one of those weeks would have been spent discussing this year's glasgow festival. last year i did a movie special, with loads of my favourite soundtrack cuts (it's still available to 'listen again' to donchaknow...), but the music side of the festival this year is so good it'd be a shame not to explore it a little. so there'll be music from delightful indie-pop drama '1234' (and i'll have an inteview with director giles borg in the cineskinny - and on bottlerocketglasgow.blogspot.com - sometime soon...) plus tracks from nick cave and possibly the white stripes, both of whom are the subjects of documentaries screening at the fest. a mogwai song will likely crop up too, to mark their movie debut 'burning', while a thomas truax song will recognise his upcoming gig at mono. and since he'll be performing tracks from his last album 'songs from the films of david lynch', that brings us nicely full-circle!
there'll also be more conventional gig-related songs and new releases, including more from the new los campesinos and vampire weekend albums, and wonderful music from the forthcoming shearwater and efterklang records.
ALSO:
the berlin trips means i'll miss out on this week's bottle rocket dancing club at nice n sleazys. luckily, the other rocketeer is staying in glasgow, so it will be business (largely) as usual!

fantastic tim-age!
Source Tags and Mixtapes // 08.02.10
This morning's show delivers on two requests - get your own in if you're a secret regular listener and we may just play your suggestion. Ross finally gets El-P's Fantastic Damage instrumentals disc and stuff from it is inevitably used as instrumentals in-between songs. Oh, and regular listener Tim McQuillian officially beats all of you at texting in, so he gets a menshy.

feed your head!
The 60's and 70's boast some of the most creative musical acts our world has ever heard. A fusion of musical styles, paired with drug-fuelled counter-culture ideals, started a wave of energy that spanned from California to Great Britain.
The music at the time gave hope to an entire generation of youths, with its apex lying at the 1969 Woodstock Festival, which has gone down in history as one of the most monumental human gatherings of all time.
It's difficult to condense so much music into a one hour radio show, but we've done our best to try and capture the wide variety of musical styles that the era produced, from rock, to disco to psychadelic.
Peace and love... Tarantism.

This week was a shorter show than expected due to being locked outside the studio with the sounds of jazz flowing though the speakers,
Luckily with half an hour to go someone got us into the studio to do the show.
This week we had the pleasure of having Joe Macgregor from Start Select Promotions.
He is here talking about the Open Your Ears networking event for young musicians at the Classic Grand on the 13th of Febuary.
we'll be playing a few acts featured on the gig after the event aswell as the new Super Adventure Club single.

the award for worst film-based radio show goes to
Dresses are being chosen; tuxedos are being pressed; ‘for your consideration…’ ads are appearing in the trades; cinemas are awash with middle-brow, issue-laden worthyness; and brown envelopes are being exchanged. Me thinks me smells the sycophantic funk of Hollywood’s garish, self-congratulatory award season. We’ve had the Golden Globes, the various Critics’ circles, and the announcement of the Bafta nominees, but we know you’re all waiting for the big one…the Shrapnel awards.
On this week’s show we’re choosing our best supporting actors of the year, male and female. In terms of those second rate awards, the Oscars, the statuettes for these categories are practically engraved already – if both Christoph Waltz and Mo’Nique don’t go home with a 10” tall naked gold bald man feel free to kick me in the balls – but we’re hoping to pull out some surprises with our winners.
If you have a favourite supporting actor of actress that you’d like to big-up, post it up on the Shrapnel facebook wall.
Also on this week’s show, we review of a couple of bio-pics: Clint Eastwood’s immortalisation of Nelson Mandela in Invictus and Michael Hoffman’s look at the last few months of Leo Tolstoy in The Last Station
Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed

kanye west and fyfe dangerfield should collaborate
Today on the show we launch a new feature - our roving correspondents in the Glasgow Arts world who will report back to us on recent arty things like goblin henchmen scuttling back into our evil fortress of doom with messages from the war in the west. This week our music correspondent Katherine Nesbitt (who is not a goblin) reviews Fyfe Dangerfield's gig with Stornoway and Villagers for Celtic Connections at the ABC. Expect updates on theatre, visual art and film in the coming weeks.
Also on the show we have music from Glasgow performance artist Ben Dunn, and poetry from Judy Barrett and Matt Griffin. If you want to get your stuff on the show, please don't hesitate to fire off an email to initialitch@flatratestate.com
Don't forget flatrate's upcoming production at the Tron theatre, The Zeros Keep Going, which is on next week, the 11th - 13th Feb, and promises to be fucking spectacular. Finally, our pick of the week this week is Alan Bissett's new double bill of plays at the Citz, The Ching Room and The Moira Monologues.
That's all you're getting. You'll get more next week. Finish your greens.

This week: competing songs of the same name by different artists. That aren't covers. That'd be cheating. Expect two each of "California", "One Time Too Many", "I Wanna Be Your Lover" and "Demons", and, in this week's #1 Records, two very different takes on Let It Be.

Pop Goes The Revolution // 05.02.10
WOOT!
Tomorrow we are giving away a VERY special prize on the show.

So, for your chance to see one of the coolest bands currently out there, simply tell us which one of these European cities is the name of a Plasticine's song.
a) Barcelona
b) Stoke-on-Trent
c) Nairobi
We reckon you can all probably get that.
Winners will be contacted tomorrow. Entries close around 8pm Friday 5th. Send your entries to popgoestherevolution@googlemail.com.

screen shrapnel: based on the book ‘pish’
Screen Shrapnel get emotional this week – well one of us does anyway – as we discuss the films that get our tear glands a workin’.
We also discuss Precious: based on the novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire, a film that is tear inducing, less because of the plight of its eponymous protagonist and more because of its pretentious/stupid title – what next? Hamlet: based on the play ‘Hamlet’ by Bill Shakespeare, Leaving Las Vegas: based on the life of ‘Mel Gibson’ by Jack Daniels. Talking of everyone’s favourite antipodean bigot, Edge of Darkness sees the return of Mad Mel to the front of the camera after a seven year hiatus – what was Mel up to during those years, I wonder?
The show is also worth listening to for an occurrence as rare as a decent Vince Vaughn movie: Nick and Jamie agree!
Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed

tonight on synth: guest mix from pmcq! boomshaka
Synth returns tonight with an extra large dose of intergalactic, supersonic mega tunage and it all kicks off at 1am! On tonight's show I have new music from Breakbot, Nero, Style of Eye and Yeasayer, a MASSIVE Blog Burner from Boy 8 Bit, an essential run down of all the hottest parties going on in Glasgow & beyond this weekend plus a special guest mix from MUCK resident & mastermind PMcQ!
Which brings me nicely onto tonight's social gathering: the return of Muck to La Cheetah with very special guest LORCAN MAK, an up and coming producer from Ireland who has personally guaranteed to collectively knock our socks off!
I will be on the decks from 11.30-12.30 so expect a disco house explosion as I'm in that sort of mood at the moment. I managed to get my hands on some new Duck Sauce the other day which I can't wait to play! Anyway, come down and get involved, Lorcan is extremely talented so it promises to be a right corker!

abso-flute-ly fabulous - sat 6th feb 2010 - 1-2 pm
Hey folks,
This week's show features a selection of flute heavy tunes. This being Journeys they will be mainly on a soulful, funky kinda tip and will feature artists such as Bobbi Humphries, Herbie Mann, Ken Munson, Moe Koffman, Jethro Tull, Deodato, Manu Dibango, Lee 'Scratch' Perry and as many more as I can squeeze into an hour.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of tracks that have only one thing in common: both have the word 'Flute' in the title, but, despite this bold advertisement, appear to contain no actual flute in the track... Weird alright:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTVVEtfxwOk
1. Leftfield - Black Flute
From their massive 1995 album 'Leftism'. Banging.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSBdtsNSogg
2. The Cranes - Flute Song
Some shoegazing indie from the Portsmouth gloom-meisters' 2001 album, 'Future Songs'. Moody.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

shut up and eat your technical difficulties ...
Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 04.02.10
That's right folks, the more anal among you may notice a little of the dreaded "dead air" about halfway through our show, this was because our live guest Alan McKim was demonstrating his talent as a mime artist. We weren't sure how well that would go across on radio, as far as we were concerned it was great. Let us know if you agree.
Suffice to say if you go listen you'll find the usual amount of nonsense banter, including a guest appearance from our new mascot Colin the Duck, songs by bands you'll know like Maccabees and Suede, and songs by bands you should know like The Brother Louis Collective and Mickey 9's, and a fantastic live performance from Alan McKim rounding things off nicely. And remember, if you hear it on the show you'll be able to hear it live this week in Glasgow, so get off your ass and get out to some great gigs, some of the best ones this week are free, which frankly you don't deserve ...
Hugs and kisses and quacks

up up down down left right left right b a start
On this week's Get Back To 8-bit, I'm going to do exactly what it says on the tin and present to you an entire playlist of chiptune, console sound, whatever your preferred moniker might be. Going solo means more music, but don't think I'll be skipping on You Gotta Shoot 'Em In The Head, as this week your senses will be spazzed on news of jail-breaking level 50 dungeonmasters, the future of arty wank erotica and straight up wank, how robots have achieved speeds of Danny Boyle proportions and why the Japanese hate women but love your money. Tune in Thursday afternoon at 14:00, or download via 'Listen Again' at your convenience!

i love you but i've chosen darkness...
Golly gosh its cold in that deep, dark cave they call House & Techno. We took a little venture in a came out very chilly indeed. Today we present to you the findings from our expedition. its a small and mighty selection. more small and mighty than percil small and mighty. but its all about quality not quantity here at Casio Canteen. or something like that.
anyways. i've gone off on a bit of a tangent. a naughty little 20 minute mash-up of house and techno to tickle your tech-buds. its rad to the power of sick. don't fret though, we also have the usual sex-core, perfect pop, hip hop and dubstep to keep your entertained.

fruit-based technology chat
Let's Get Physical // 28.01.10
This week on Let's Get Physical we looked at the technology (or rather marketing) company Apple and how they grew from humble beginnings in a car hole. Ruaraidh was on the anti-apple side whereas Ciaran was supposed to be on the pro-apple side. Ciaran's stance was essentially each to their own in the end. Ruaraidh was given the hardware side to research, Ciaran on the software. Just so you know to skip past whatever Ciaran was saying.

intelligence and iq with paddy o'donnell
In this weeks episode Indra and Christian interviewed professor Paddy O'Donnell.
Professor Paddy O'Donnell has been Head of the Psychology Department and previously was Dean of Social Science at University of Glasgow. At present he is Deputy Head of Department and Director of Teaching.
This week, we talked about IQ tests, what they are and how they work and how reliable they are. We also discussed some slightly more controversial topics, such as link between IQ and race and IQ and gender. Are women really better at multitasking, but are no good at reading a map or parking a car? Are men better analysts and more rational?
Tune in for a higly interesting discussion.
Headlighs, every Wednesday 10-11 AM or whenever you want on subcity.org
Unfortunately for an unknown reason only half of the interview is available on listen again.

beach house - teen dream!
Tomorrow's programme will showcase my personal favourite's off Beach House's brand new Long-Player 'Teen Dream. This marks the third release by the Baltimore band and has so far received glowing reviews. Understandably so, the album is my favourite so far for 2010 and will probably retain that position.
Also, good to have a listen to a few of the songs if any of you are heading down to see Beach House on February 10 at King Tut's.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 01.02.10
This week's show takes a rather dark shape with some black metal-influenced folk from nature boy Phil Elverum, another awesome theme tune and a new Liars song. The first half of the show is filled with talk of upcoming and recently hyped-up albums. Fancy a bit of psychedelic rock as well? No? Well, you're getting it anyway.

pure dead brilliant...
Scotland is a country that has produced many talented musicians over the years, spanning a variety of genres. Looking past the commercial music that some Scottish bands are known for, we focus on some of the lesser known names, particularly quite a number of Glaswegian artists.
Enjoy!
PS - Look out for our little unplanned, impromptu mini-house-mix in the middle.

keith money guests
Soulful Allsorts welcomed Keith Money to the fabulous Subcity studio yesterday. Just slightly hotter than the 100 club in Oxford street London where Keith is a resident DHj with the legendary 6Ts club. Check here for hios history in soul music.
http://www.6ts.info/news.asp?area=keith
Keith took the opportunity to dig deep into his record collection to come up with a choice selection of soul tunes from different era and genres. He quickly grasped that keeping a dance floor busy is quite different to putting together a playlist for a well programmed radio show. Host Fraser Dunn keeps the chat and the questions going whilst Felonious Munk plays the tunes all on vinyl and most on 45rpm seven inch singles.

an ode to an alternative america
This week, two men died who will be sorely missed. This edition of Initial Itch is dedicated to J.D. Salinger and Howard Zinn. Salinger you will probably know as the reclusive author of the era-defining Catcher in the Rye, though you may not have heard of Zinn, an American historian and civil rights activist who spoke alot of truth in his lifetime.
As memorial to these two visions of an alternative america, we've decided to broadcast Allen Ginsberg's epic, beautiful cry of a poem 'Howl' in it's entirety. It often feels, living as an artist in the UK, that culture here (not to mention politics) looks perpetually across the pond for guidance, and sometimes it can be difficult to countenance that view without being violently sick. This show is perhaps intended to be a little reminder that it ain't all bad.
Also, in addendum to Steve's poem Whimper, I'd like to say fuck you Howard and fuck you J.D.
Fuck you very much.
We'll be back next week.

Live From Las Vegas // 29.01.10
This is how you cook caille en sarcophage, right:
Um, take some...food, right...well, I mean, the ingredients...um...
Well what it is, is, well, it's quail (not quite sure what that is, but I'll wikipedia it) and you put that in a puff pastry shell...
That is, I mean, if you're keen on puff pastry.
Personally, I'm not. It just tastes...well, I dunno...subjective, innit? But I'm not keen.
But, for the purposes of this, uh, thing here, this recipe if you will, I'll, er, carry on.
After you've got the quail in the puff pastry shell (not sure why it has to be a shell- why not a box?) you have to have a, uh, foie gras and also a, uh, truffle sauce.
I mean, you could make it from scratch, but me, personally, speaking for myself, I usually just buy them pre-packed from Lidl. But I mean, it's up to you. I'm not trying to ram this down your ear or anything.
Awright. Cheers. Man 1 from Live from Las Vegas

last night on synth: new daft punk!! (possibly)
So this week has been somewhat of a frenzy on the blogosphere, firstly we had 'Fragile', a song supposedly written by Daft Punk and then we had 'Beginning Of The End', new music apparantly from Justice. Thankfully both were outed as fakes, the Justice track was decidedly shit.
Then, on Wednesday, out of nowhere came what is reportedly the real deal...new Daft Punk written for the score of Tron. Last night I aired this 12 minute long monster so give it a listen and let me know what you think! Daft Punk or not??
I also had new music from Groove Armada Ali Love & Louis La Roche as well as a run down of all the hottest parties going on in Glasgow and beyond this weekend, plus a ten minute mix of mash up madness!
I'm also DJ'ing alongside Late Of The Pier and PMcQ tonight at Pin Up Nights at The Flying Duck so if you're currently in a state of frenzied panic at the thought of having nothing to do this evening, now you know! There's some fantastic live bands playing from 9 so get down early and soak it up!

twenty 45s in sixty minutes
I'm doing a lot more vinyl only shows and was pleased to see a microphone rigged up over the decks. Mind you it took me fifteen minutes to work out which channel it was on. One can get away with murder when playing in clubs but with the head phones on you do hear some surface noise. But the music is good so if you have speakers use them.
Enjoy Marvin Gaye, The Artistics, Buena Vistas and many more crammed into an hour long show.

up jonathan creek
geeeeeez louise.
what a week its been.
so this weekends Itch! has had to move both day and venue at the last minute. i'm not even gonna go into to too much or i may actually shed a manly man-tear. just one though. because we're hard as nails here at casio canteen.
we'll be holding this months soiree in the Research Club, university avenue. you will have likely walked past this venue at some point and thought...'what is it? is it a house? is it a pub? is it a club? is it an unusually located masonic lodge?'. yes, from the outside the building would appear to be more misleading than the channel 5 news....but that is in fact the research club, and tomorrow night from 9pm, we'll be turning it into a hedonistic hotspot!
The night kicks off at 9pm, we've got all the same DJ's as before. in fact, since we're more generous than [insert something witty] we've even added an extra couple of DJ's to the bill! bazingaaah
How'd ya like them apples......
Its gonna be big so get down early to make sure you get in. 5 bucks door damage. 29th January - 9pm - 2am - Research Club - University Avenue
oh yeah..and here's this weeks casio canteen. its actually one of my favourite episodes so far, a great mix of ambient electronica, grimy dubstep and perfect pop.
enjoy

This week: an attempt to justify the £60+ spent on newly released albums in one go by playing something from each of them; Chris Defends '00s R&B via Timbaland and Aaliyah; and the #1 Record, off the back of the BBC's mini-season on the great man, is Brian Eno's Here Come The Warm Jets.

This week we'll be playing a whole host of bands never before played on the show. Including tracks by Foxgang, Two Door Cinema Club, Honestly Christian. However we'll also be throwing in a few of our favourites, as George's obsession with Cancel The Astronauts and The King Hats continues. Add to all this the usual features of Nikki's News, Nikki's Nostalgia, A Saving Grace, the return of the Song Battle, as well as an interview with Joe Black organiser of a particularly nice looking (and morally rewarding) gig this weekend, and it all makes a pretty good show. So we'll see you at 5pm right?

king hats // the murderburgers
This Sunday on Subcity Sessions we have two super bands for your listening pleasure.
First up we have The King Hats. We love this band for their fast paced, dance along tunes, as the band says themselves they 'enjoy a right royal rave up, and that’s what comes across in our songs'. We are sure they will be bringing the party on Sunday night. Their debut single, 'I Was The Riot At The Art School Last Night', is out now on on King Tuts Recordings. For More information on the band check out their myspace at http://www.myspace.com/thekinghats .
Our second band for the evening are The Murderburgers, who can be found at http://www.myspace.com/themurderburgers . We are bringing in the party bands for this month's Sessions as The Murderburgers describe their songs as being about 'sweet-ass pop-punk girls, getting drunk, having fun, no money and having lots of mental problems'. We are lucky enough to have the band in before they head off on a European tour, which kicks off in March. You can check out the dates on the band's myspace, along with some dates closer to home.
So make sure you listen in to Subcity Sessions on Sunday 31st of January 6pm - 8pm, this is not to be missed!!

viva nigeria! - saturday 30th jan 2010 - 1-2 pm
Hey folks,
This week's show is a quick blast through some West African music.
I'll be playing a load of 1970s and 1980s rock, funk, afrobeat and soul from Nigeria. Expect to hear Fela Kuti & The Africa 70, Sahara All Stars Of Jos, Orlando Julius & His Modern Aces, The Don Isaac Ezekiel Combination, Sunny Risky & The Vitamin Explosions and as many more exotically named bands as I can possibly squeeze in!
As you may know, I am a particular fan of Fela Kuti, a man who took Nigerian instruments, beats and rebel attitude and combined it with American soul and funk, to come up with a whole new musical style. He christened it Afrobeat and proceeded to spend the next 30 years or so creating funky protest songs aimed at the various dictators that ruled Nigeria during the period; as well as preaching Pan-African consciousness and liberation. He was jailed and beaten on a few occassions, but continued to rail against oppression and injustice until his untimely death in 1997 (believed to be AIDS related - he wasn't exactly shy around the ladies).
There is currently a musical running on Broadway in New York, New York based on Fela's music and life-story (called 'Fela!'). The show's 'above the title' producers (Will Smith & Shawn 'Jay Z' Carter) are this week's Weird But Wonderful contenders:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FFrCZNNCeU
1. DJ Jazzy Jeff And The Fresh Prince - Girls Ain't Nothing But Trouble
This number was Will Smith's debut in the world of pop-rap. It samples the theme from 'I Dream Of Jeannie' (a 1960s US sitcom that starred Larry 'JR from Dallas' Hagman as an astronaut married to Barbara Eden's genie - hilarity ensued). I bought it on 12" vinyl from Woolworth's in 1986. No idea where it is now, mind.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YE6s-uleT0
2. Jay Z - Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)
Showing an early interest in the stage musical genre, Jay samples 'Annie'. Completely without irony, apparently. It is infuriatingly catchy, though.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

masha was beaming // all caps radio guest mix
After last weeks DISCO bomb everything gets a little bit dark and bassy as the on board computer turns sinister, filtering all sound but the low throb of sub bass.
All Caps Radio man Acto flew us over some massive brooding dubstep tunes to keep us going through the night and my god, did it work.

Live From Las Vegas // 22.01.10
Sue: Is that you Gary?
Gary: Aye
Sue: You're in then, yes?
Gary: Aye
Sue: Is it nice out?
Gary: What?
Sue: Nice?
Gary: No
Sue: Did you get a job?
Gary: No
Sue: What?
Gary: No
Sue: Why no?
Gary: Don't know
Sue: What!?
Gary: Aye
Sue: If you don't get a job i'll have to move back in with the crickets
Gary: Damn you mum, damn you to tarnation. Was man sculpted from such terrible clay only to live out his waking hours toiling in factories and fields? What God bothered his hand for man? What tormenting creator filled our heads and our dreams with such fantastic things so that we may never realise them? A job? A job!? No, while my frail body may only achieve frail deeds shackled to the chain gang of society; my soul it flys. Love does not know nine to five, passion does not know nine to five, my sweet mother - I do not know nine to five. While held in the mercy of his bosom, Time allowed me to think not of careers. My younger self dreamed not of the work force but of the stars and the planets of adventures and most of all about love. Did I grow old only to let these dreams die? Truely man does not grow old, he grows tired. I am very tired now. There is no job for me, no job that will do anything but crush my soul. That boy that I once was has died and so have the golden days of summer in which he sang. Now I am dying too. A job - no! A job - no.
Sue: What?
Gary: Aye
Sue: Give me a hand with these snus, we've only got two left - when they're done we'll have to fight to the death to see who eats the other.
Gary: Aye

special guest -felix cartal (dim mak) 4th feb 2010
THURSDAY 4TH FEB ONLY - FELIX CARTAL (Dim Mak) - DJ SET.
R-P-Z takes place every thursday DOWNSTAIRS at the Glasgow School Of Art Student Association. RPZ deejays specialise in digital stimulation design to provoke and maintain non-stop dancing.
On Thursday 4th of February RPZ present FELIX CARTAL (DJ SET) at the Glasgow School Of Art.
Felix Cartal is a Canadian artists based in Vancouver who in the past two years has risen to international prominence among a new wave of dance artists who have built their profile squarely upon blogging and free file sharing. Through the popularity of tracks released on myspace, Felix quickly became a familiar name not only among the trend-leading new blogs, but also among some of the most important of the emerging stars of this new scene, with his is tracks became regular spins for the likes of MSTRKRFT, Crookers, Steve Aoki and Felix Da Housecat.
Felix's productions, early favourites like Vancouver and his most recent Skeleton EP, demonstrate a pre-occupation with filtering the rawness of the punk rock into electronic music aimed at the dancefloor, directly drawing influences from digital punk rock bands like NOFX and Lighting and the sparse electronics of James Holden and Alter Ego.
From humble beginnings as a bedroom bound computer nerd, Felix is now signed to Steve Aoki's Dim Mak label alongside MSTRKRFT, Armand Van Helden, Bloody Beetroots, Shinichi Osawa, Pase Rock, Whitey and Glasgow's own Shitdisco
As always RPZ residents Bonjour Boi and Hushpuppy will be on hand to provide the cybernetic backbone to the nights rhythmic entertainments. Amid the glowing pop-art projections and dizzying cosmic visuals they will be spinning out their own brand of sweat inducing digital disco delirium, grinding together electro, rave, jerky bassline, italo, synthetic disco, French sound, gay hi-NRG, Oz-matic punk-house and delinquent techno.
RPZ - making laser beams.... in your dreams!

spotlight on 1966
Roots, Rock, Reggae // 25.01.10
This week I'm back to having a theme for the episode, and today it was a feature on the year 1966. Obviously an hour is hardly enough to go through the 200+ singles released in 1966, but along with my friend and fellow enthusiast Campbell McInally we have picked out some of the best, some of the not so popular, and some of the downright obscure songs from 1966. Enjoy.

it's smaller than hip-hop
This week, we welcome 3 very special guests: Johnny, Jamie and Dom. We bring you a collection of our favourite hip-hop songs, covering a range of sub-genres and styles. Although Tarantism isn't exclusively a hip-hop radio show, a lot of the songs we play feature elements of hip-hop production, particularly the soulful samples, and slow breakbeats. We highly value the tastes of our 3 companions, so this is not a show to be missed.

a sealion ate my dog...
"A sealion ate my dog, it was really traumatic, I woke up and everything. sea lion!!! and my dad valiantly tried to save my dog but he only saved the fish." Truly poetic by the midnight cheese feaster, Steph...and I thought I was the weird one, she doesn't even have a dog let alone live near an area populated by sea lions. Its true, where would the nearest sea lions be to us here in Glasgow? Huuuh. Anyway enough of her trippy weird dreams, tune into Kaleidoscope at the usual time to see how this tale has had an effect upon the show. A variety of new mixed with old from the unknown to the unsigned, its not to be missed. Monday Noon till 1pm. Love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes xx

he writes stories about s&m and ponyplay. eww.
On this week's Get Back To 8-bit, I delve into the deepest groves and forests, lakes and oceans, exploring the animal kingdom and the songs which ask the pressing questions, like how much shit will a monkey fling even after it's been satisfied by your good self? I'm expecting an unusual influx of listeners as all the Furries catch wind of it, but I do not condone your lifestyle... least of all when you do it in the middle of an anatomy lecture. I saw you, you ham fingered weirdo. Expect the usual mix of news and cynicism from me also, this Thursday at 14:00.

Screen Shrapnel come to you this week with an alcohol-blood level to rival Mel Gibson’s.
Reviews include Un Prophete, the latest film from French auteur Jacques Audiard, a muscular prison movie of the highest order; and Spiderman IV: lost in Afghanistan, or Brothers if you prefer the official title, where a presumed dead war hero (Toby Maguire) returns home shell-shocked to find his ne’er-do-well ex-con brother (Jake Gyllenhaal) has muscled in on his childhood-sweetheart wife (Natalie Portman).
We also do some prophesying ourselves, as we reveal our most eagerly anticipated releases of 2010.

t.s. eliot wrote a good poem but it's quite long
Today, in something of a digression, we have T.S. Eliot reading all of his epic modernist poem cycle The Waste Land, with some excellent music thrown in for good measure. We're not saying the legendary Mr Eliot needs any embellishment, you understand, just that perhaps there are people better at guitars and sythesisers than him. Do enjoy this indulgent hour of poetic goodness.
As a small prelude, there's also a little bit from local poet Kirsty Logan, reading her poem Said the Sea-Witch. Remember, don't hesitate to get in touch if you want to contribute to anything flatrate does. initialitch@flatratestate.com is the address you'll be wanting to send all you poems, songs and stories to.
We'll be back next week, same art-time, same art-channel, for some live broadcasting from a prison. We will also play some Johnny Cash. You can be sure of that.

Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 21.01.10
Yes, when a show kicks off with a reference to Owls playing Buckaroo, you know Nick must be back in the studio. No live guest this week i'm afraid, which reveals a truism, never expect a musician to know their own phone number.
Same format as last week, your guide to what's hot and not in Glasgow gigs this week. There's Americana, Indie-Disco, Alt-rock and what we've decided to christen Hair-Math, which begs the question, are fans of the genre Hair-Math-rodites? Yeah, Nick didn't find that funny either. Listen in to hear the actual funny stuff, some great music, some not so great music and the usual screw ups!

imaginary friend: you gotta shoot 'em in the head!
Thanks Laura, for making me look like my brain had been replaced by spanners. She is lovely really and does talk, but only during periods where a spacial anomaly obscures her from all your perceptions. Also, the 'Let's Get Physical' boys have informed me that if 'Get Back To 8-bit' were in fact 'Let's Get BackTo 8-bit' as they suggested it should be, then the acronym would be LGBT8-bit and thereby create an entirely new meaning for the show and probably increase my audience figures too. Thanks for that.
Anyway, here are the news links for Get Back To 8-bit for 21st Jan 2010:
No Christian exercise is more appropriate than killing a man from several hundred feet away through a high powered, Jesus-sanctioned rifle. Onward Christian soldiers!
Great, now we men not only need to promise to buy our women-folk the moon, but also these other bullshit planets? (For the record, I have never promised to buy a girlfriend 'the moon', because that is lame. I have however bought a girl a box of cornflakes for Valentine's day.)

Pop Goes The Revolution // 22.01.10
This Friday we are very pleased to announce the astounding Woodenbox With A Fistful of Fivers will be joining us in the studio.
The band are set to release their début album on the Electric Honey label (Belle & Sebastian, Snow Patrol, Biffy Clyro). The album, called 'Home and the Wildhunt' will be released on April 6th, with the lead single, Draw A Line, available now.
The sextet are one of Scotland's finest bands, and this Friday we will have them in the studio; where they'll be talking about the music they love, the band's experiences, as well as playing a few acoustic tracks live on air.
One of the most promising bands in the country, the band are popping into the studio before their Burn's night headline gig at Tuts on the 22nd, before embarking on their national tour.
To say that the Pop Goes The Revolution are a little excited by this Friday would be an understatement of epic proportions. If you have any questions or messages for the band, send them to popgoestherevolution@googlemail.com. Tune in from 5pm, or catch it on Listen Again, to hear the band.

All, all, all of this as well as a sonic carpet bombing of war related songs for you to fingle your fangle at! Join in on what I have to say Thursday the 21st @ 14:00 on subcity.org, or download later.

lost loves, shoes, and pussycats
This Initial Itch is something of a tribute to poet Graham Buchan, as we read our favourite selections from his excellent book, There is Violence in These Vapours (available to purchase here, from the publisher).
In addition to Mr Buchan's wonderful words, we have music from Glasgow-based folky minstrels Potential Strangers, led by the breathtalking Dol Eoin Mackinnon (who was our resident musician for December's live Initial Itch at the 13th Note Cafe). We also have new music from The Hidden Cameras and classic poetry from our friend Allen Ginsberg.
Stay tuned to the Itch here on Subcity.org: coming soon on the show we are preparing a live broadcast from Polmont Young Offenders institiution with lower east side legend Martin Belk, and a T.S. Eliot special.

cleopatra comin' atcha!
Back from a stint in starbucks rehab.
far less caffeinated than usual, we return to our regular schedule bringing you the best in perfect electronic pop.
I do love our new slot, i'm a total sucker for anything with a good female vocal line, so arriving at the studio each week midway through Spill is always a treat. I decided to try and follow on from them by digging out some great beats with female vocals to kick off the show with. Ever since Gramophonedzie's track Why Don't You, i've been searching for tracks with a similar old school sound. This week we get things going with the awesome Brazilian Girls remix of the classic track Just One Of Those Things by Blossom Dearie, its a blinder. its also so catchy that it'll be stuck in your head for weeks.
love you all

pushing the boundary
Its one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by a programme on a student radio station, there are over 400 secondary schools, 21 universities , 46 colleges in Scotland and we are getting in contact with them all. Hundreds of thousands of young people across Scotland are going to be offered the chance to take part in a project thats the first of its kind in Scotland.
Debate is Free which airs only on Subcity radio at the University of Glasgow is working on a special edition of the show separate from its usual format. 2010 is a General Election year and thousands of young people will looking at the political parties on offer and wondering who to vote for. Some may never have voted either due to the fact they were too young or they have never felt the need to vote or politics leave just them cold.
Debate is Free aims to bring the debate in a way that young people will find accessible and can interact with in a way they want to. The special edition of Debate is Free on March 11th, potentially just weeks before an election is called will bring a panel of six before a studio audience for 90 minutes to answer their questions and questions submitted by listeners. The debate will range from the topical, to party policy to anything the audience demand be answered. Nothing is barred anything can be put forward for the panel to answer. From the recession, to the war on terror, to youth issues and human rights, we will consider anything.
Anyone will be able to listen on our website www.subcity.org and comment on what they hear on the Debate is Free Facebook fan page or by using Twitter and the tag #debateisfree.

what’s wrong with you people?
Humans perplex me. Basically we’re shuffling sacks of neuroses, stumbling through our pitiful lives expelling bad smells, bad manners and bad taste. If you want evidence for all three of these charges just head to cineworld any night of the week. In that garish tower of steel and glass, mingling amongst the smell of rancid hotdogs and the dull drone of elevator music you’ll find even more unpleasant odors and sounds, all emanating from the average film audience, be it cackling teenagers on mobiles, horny couples getting frisky on the back row, corpulent Harry-Knowles-esque nerds with hygiene issues, nattering pensioners sucking on Worther’s Originals, and, worst of all, pretentious cinephiles pontificating on where the director went wrong…I hate those guys.
But even more infuriating than these skin-bags are the films that they cherish. Listen again to this week's show to find out which much beloved movies the shrapnel team can’t stand.
Also on this week show we discuss the Oscar tipped Up in the Air and the expletive laden 44 Inch Chest.
Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed

Bigfoot's Tea Party // 19.01.10

Hearing music live offers a completely different experience to listening to a recording. It captures an atmosphere and sense of feeling that a studio recording sometimes cannot offer. We've selected a small array of Live songs that we feel convey the vibe of the concerts in which they were played.

Benzo and Nav Are Dead, Long live Benzo and Nav // 17.01.10
You can't stop the rock! Oh, oh no you can not. Why? Because Benzo and Nav are some solid fellows, that is why. Hmm, that sounds kind of weird. Never mind: it's an adventurous hour of bluegrass and jazz*- even longtime friends Kraftwerk drop by to make some humming noises replete with computer-sounding voices. The fun just never stops. Benzo and Nav also remind you that in these economic hard times, it makes sense to convert your finances from cash to gold and then from gold in to cats. It's just the smartest thing to do, really.
(*There isn't any jazz.)

music block, gee up!
Im suffering a serious case of "music block" thanks to my mind being blown out by the sounds of the Subcity 'Start of Term' party that was at the weekend. It was worth it, however since then I literally have been scratching my head, chopping and changing my thoughts with the show every two seconds. If I was painting, my canvas would be in shreds and I would be painting on the walls or on your face... So, with my Kaleidoscope lens blinding me what can be expected from the playlist? Tune in at the usual time, Monday noon - 1pm and find out. Gee up!

bigfoot's back on the airwaves
Bigfoot's Tea Party // 12.01.10
After a little hiatus to concentrate on our ever growing club nights, the Bigfoot team has returned to Glasgow's top independent radio station. We are delighted to be back smoking the beef with Subcity so every Monday/Tuesday (which ever you class it as) catch us at midnight for a ride of techno and house.
Recently having blown the candles out at our First Birthday Bash with Lucio Aquilina, Hans Bouffmyhre and the Bigfoot A/V team (Marmalade Man, Faux Pas and Redux) it was time once again to slip into the studio and spin some techno.
Next show we start a competition with the chance to win two tickets to Bigfoot's Tea Party at The Art School with HERMANEZ (Circo Loco/Quartz) Friday 5th Feb.
Check out our recent playlist from the 12th Jan to see what you can expect next week.

first show of the new year!
Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 14.01.10
Wow, feels like ages since we did a show. That's because it is! And i say we, but we were without the company of Nick today. In his place we had a musical guest in the form of Pamela Quinn, a local chanteuse who performed a lovely rendition of her song "Fairytale" and provided some nice chat and banter too.
So we've got a new format, with the focus on highlighting the local live music scene, gigs coming up in the next week, and having live performances in the studio. I think I coped well without my trusty technician, who needs a techie anyway?
Methinks the format worked well, feel free to email me at oanadid@googlemail.com (the email address for the PivoPivo/Bluesbunny record label, see www.myspace.com/oanadid for details) with your thoughts.
Cheers

We break away from the usual schedule to massage your ears with a motown medley celebrating a golden era in music when dinosaurs freely roamed the streets, men lived in caves....and yes, computers didn't exist. omgzzz. We had a good time doing this show. turntables are way more fun than CD players! if not a tad stressful. We've got some great tracks in there from the likes of Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson and Diana Ross so tune in and zone out.

old news - sat 16th jan 2010 - 12-2 pm
Hey there folks,
Having brought you the contractually obliged (having advertised it so long ago) rain-based show last week, I am now ready to kick off 2010 good-style!
This week's show is a review of the music that was new to me in 2009. That doesn't, of course, actually mean 'new' music. This is Journeys not the NME. So, I will be playing a selection of decades-old tunes that I heard for the first time in 2009. Simples.
It will also act as a taster of sorts for upcoming shows, featuring, as it will, a genre-busting selection of funk, soul, reggae, African, Cuban, electronic, Brazilian, psychedelic, indie and erm... probably loads of other forms of music that I can't even think of just now...
No Spotlight this week, so that I can just cram in as many tunes as possible.
The Weird But Wonderful vote features just about the only two bands whose new releases I paid any sort of attention to in 2009 (and only because I'm already a fan):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmGNo8RL5kM
1. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Zero
From the album 'It's Blitz!'. They still f*cking rock! And Karen O is still going all out for the 'arty-kook-punk' vibe.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf7vlAVVHyE
2. Doves - Push Me On
B-Side to the single 'Kingdom Of Rust', from the album of the same name. One of my favourite live acts ever. Have seen them a few times, the most memorable being the Barrowlands Ballroom here in good old Glasgow toon, just after The Last Broadcast came out. Sweet.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

This week's show takes us through the ages, with Twonko Thirtytwo kicking things off with a good old fashioned vinyl set, then it's on to Pasty Thirtytwo to try out the CDJ-200's, recently bought and so generously brought along by one of our favourite local spinners, Floyd, on which note we hand over to her for a digital set using Traktor and her Midi controller of choice.
Have a listen, there's something for everyone!

breakfast is back!
The Breakfast Show // 11.01.10
Breakfast Is Back with avengance and Nicki B, Mel and our Breakfast Ninja supreme-o Heather are raring to go. Well...that was our intention anyway!
We decided that since our music is so darn good, our patter is banter-ific and our general dulcet tones so delicate to the ears that we just have to set about reminiscing about good ol' 2009, with some of our best of the best of the very best of our playlist to boot!
So swig that tea, crunch that toast, and enjoy our chats about our very eventful very first show, the "Strip The Willow Incident", Guess The Year - ahem, 2009 (!!) and our brown and tomato sauce debates while we play you our favourite tunes from last year's features and then some. ¡Hasta la vista 2009!

Tune in as I bring you an hour of some of my favourite Elvis tracks as a tribute to arguably the greatest entertainer the world has ever known.

2010: the year we make contact
MASHA WAS BEAMING is back to confront the enigmas arising from the daring Jupiter mission of the year 2001.
Why has everything turned DISCO? Where the hell did Funky UK come from? and why do we insist of playing Legeti?
All we know is that everything rests on the silicone shoulders of the computer we are about to reawaken.
The year is 2010. Time to discover we are not alone.

2010 is ours for the taking
Heeey what's good listeners?!
I am in total belief that 2010 is going to be an incredible year for quality, exciting and innovative hip hop, rap and electronic music. Where it is all too easy to get lost in a sea of weakly-composed autotune club space fillers rather than dancefloor stompers, there are some genuine lights of the coming year that are getting me hyped for some beautiful hip hop. Scotland is taking over the world with super-label Numbers taking over 2010 in terms of electronic joints that will have you furiously searching blogs for dodgy mp3s of future club hits, LuckyMe is the biggest fuggin thing in the world and has every credible chin-stroker music fan ooing and aaahing from behind their screens, and a whole host of rappers and producers are getting me excited for the coming months - see Jay Electronica, Mos Def, The Cool Kids, new Erykah Badu.. even what the hell the nutty machine that is Young Money is gonna come up with next ha. Tune in MONDAYS 2-3 for future hip hop, rap, dubstep, electronic and beat classics, white labels, sneaky unreleased joints and mixtape exclusives straight off the blogs. You have been warned, the Drums is back.
all my love
CD

winter warmers
As you all know it's extremely chilly outside so I'm going to attempt to play some warm, laidback tunes in an attempt to do something about that. Nothing too full-on, just a selection of nice wintry tracks.
This show is 100% vinyl for added warmth :)

post-apocalypse...now!
The bombs are falling, the dooms-day clock has ticked its last tock, UFOs are hovering above The White House, your flat-mate it trying to eat your brains and you’ve just decapitated your rabid five-year-old daughter with a shovel…welcome to the Apocalypse. It’s on this cheery note that Screen Shrapnel kick-off the new decade, and, coincidentally, cinema has provided us with a couple of dystopian nightmares for the boys to mull over.
First up is John Hillcoat’s adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer winner The Road, a hellish vision of a father and his young son’s attempt to survive in a lawless world following an unspecified global cataclysm. From the sublime to the ridicules, we also discuss Daybreakers, a far less subtle imagining of the end of humanity where vampires rules the planet and humans are hunter for their tasty hemoglobin
The team will also be discussing their favourite post-apocalyptic movies and, in Nick Green’s absence, we’ve roped in hirsute raconteur and all round cinema geek James Kloda to add some class to the preceding. It’s the End of Days people, it’s going to be gooey, gory, and a lot of fun.

happy new set everyone!
allo allo allo guys,
Happy 2008 and all the best for 2012 (if the mad Myan bastards are right, you'll need it)
Anyhoos, just to let you all know, the past couple of shows Ive started to do an ableton 6 deck set, hence most of the time theres always atleast 2 songs playing. This makes it hard to keep an accurate track list caus it would be about 40 songs long (and theres bugger all chance im discoging 40 bloody tracks every show!) But anyway ill try stick up most of it for all you tune pikeys out there.
P.S. we're having a random disorder at the duck this friday the 15th just as a wee last minute party befroe our normal first sat of the month in Feb. Keep your eyes out for some free passes kicking about most bars in town. (if you get stuck steal one from the studio)

slot change!
Hello all,
and a very Happy New Year to you from the One Louder ladies!
We're very excited to tell you that we've got a new slot this year, Thursdays from 4-5pm, and that means we'll be warming up the studio for the beast that is Pete Howard's Rock N Roll Meltdown, woo! That being said, after six months of being sandwiched in between the excellent people of The Saturday Shakedown and She Said we will be missing Saturdays very much, boo!
Our new year's resolution is to bring you a higher quality show, with better music (if that's even possible), better chat, crazy themed shows and some fun fun fun features.
Our first show of Twenty-Ten will air this coming Thursday at 4pm!

This week: it's the first show of the decade, and the future is a lot less exciting than Kraftwerk made it sound on this week's #1 Record, Computer World. Elsewhere, an update on the Captain Beefheart For Christmas Number One anti-campaign, and the introduction of the exciting, potentially sexy new feature 'Chris Defends', in which Chris stands firmly behind an unfashionable cause and fights the good fight.

shure blown away
I arrived at Subcity with a carefully selected box of 12" singles. The studio was empty and I took my time in fitting my own Shure 44 E carts to the Technics , balanced them tested them sopped stylus with a spare and cued up George Duke's Party Down. I should have paid closer attention to the record as I noticed a pied of fluff sitting on the groove and heading closer to the stylus. I thought I could blow it out of the way. I did but I the cart flew back as well. Nice start.
Anyway it turned out to be a good omen for what I thought was a great show. Well the music was top class with Parliament, Cerrone and Chic on the play list. Listen Again and see if you agree.

ferguson's successor
Patrick Barclay has written an interesting article on the Times website regarding Sir Alex’s successor, a topic which comes up nearly every few months. As a United fan, I can’t remember the last time I’ve watched them play and not thought about how you follow up a man who has brought the Red Devils unrivalled success. The end of Ferguson’s leadership of Manchester United could bring instability and with that nearly always comes failure. Having spent so long at the top the only way is down and although honour will be bestowed on whoever follows Fergie at Old Trafford it is likely to be a poisoned chalice.
When looking at the contenders for his job very few have a convincing CV, especially if United look at an old boy. It’s amazing to see how many players Ferguson coached at United have become managers, and how many of his assistants have spread their wings to taking over at other clubs. But very few of these could be considered a ‘safe-bet’ to step in when Ferguson eventually steps down, they are more likely to face mistrust from the Old Trafford faithful who had once worshipped them as players, or hear rumblings over team selection while Sir Alex would be trusted whole-heartedly.
The abrasive leader Roy Keane had respect from his peers while on the pitch, but his managerial career hasn’t been convincing. Promotion to the Premier League with Sunderland was the dream start but with large amounts of money to spend, his squad couldn’t cut the mustard in the top-flight. Steve Bruce's managerial career surpasses Keane’s, having also gained promotion he kept Birmingham City up for successive seasons before they once again dropped back to the Championship. He moved to Wigan Athletic and kept them up before going to Sunderland. All of these clubs aim for top-flight survival but none rival the magnitude of Manchester United. Perhaps a real contender in Mark Hughes who might have ruined his chances by taking the reins at Manchester City but he has the most pedigree of all having led Wales and Blackburn Rovers as well. He has made shrewd moves in the transfer market and arguably revolutionised the squad at Eastlands, priming them for an assault on the top of the Premier League table.
Outside of these old boys those who have been closest to Sir Alex in a coaching sense seem lacking in real class to make the move from assistant coach to head coach. We all know Steve McLaren’s mixed career and I don’t believe he is in the frame despite having led England during his managerial career. Carlos Queiroz appeared to be the dead cert five years ago when Fergie was considering calling it a day but having been dumped by Real Madrid in no time he looks out of the picture too. So what options do United have? The begrudging mutual respect between Fergie and Mourinho seems to have boosted his chances of returning to the Premier League. Very few challenge Fergie and manage to win him over as a fan and that could hold enormous sway at United. Again Fergie appeared to have interest in Laurent Blanc, bringing him in at the end of his career while the United team needed a solid defence. Blanc’s leadership has been shown in the Ligue 1 as Bordeaux have won the championship and are looking in great nick in reaching the knock-out stages of the Champions League. Other than these guys it is possible United will opt for Martin O’Neill, one manager who has proven his talents in the SPL and in making Aston Villa challenge for the top of the Premier League.
The benefit of choosing Martin O’Neill is his experience of the British game and his ability to make good teams great, and successful in Europe. The straight-talking Ulsterman appears a superb man-manager, has excellent judgement in the transfer market and nearly always seems to balance attacking threats with a solid base in a starting eleven. Having played under another incredible manager at Nottingham Forest in Brian Clough, that makes him the real contender, even though that disagrees with Patrick Barclay.

We're back with our first show of 2010: a two and a half hour long sprawling mammoth of a High School Special! We've got guests in to share the nostalgia, discussing what we all listened to in our school days, along with a couple of other requests from the people who couldn't make it along. The studio setup was pretty hectic - all we had was a playlist to go by and everything else was more or less improvised. So it was a mess, but in the best possible way.

where's your money gone?
Time for the first article of the new year, and by the end of 2010 Portsmouth FC might not even exist. It’s always sad when a football club goes through financial difficulties, in the past decade we’ve seen so many clubs reach the top division only to spend ridiculous amounts of money thinking they can replicate good first season form the next time around. Or ‘doing a Leeds’ and going from the Champions League semi-finals all the way down to League One.
With Portsmouth it’s perhaps even stranger. Having won the FA Cup in 2008, stability wasn’t a watch word at Fratton Park, they had a stand-out squad that mixed experience and talent and a great manager to boot. It appeared that the days of struggling in the wrong half of the Premier League table were over, and Pompy could aspire to a place in Europe, fitting in comfortably with top-half regulars like Everton and Spurs. This week once again Pompy have failed to pay their players, the third time wages have been delayed this season, and the club looks perilously close to shutting down. Rooted to the base of the Premier League doesn’t promise much on-field success for the second half of the season, and Avram Grant now has the unfavourable task of lifting Pompy out of the danger zone despite not knowing whether he or his players will have a club to play for next season.
So what happened to this great squad they once had? Having sold players to a variety of big clubs in England and Italy they should have a kitty of £80m to rescue them from this position, and it should have ensured things didn’t get this bad. So where has all the money gone? They haven’t been big players in the transfer market at all. Having managed to make so much money on transfers without spending much themselves, on-field troubles are understandable but the accusations from FC Lens that they have failed to pay instalments going into the millions for Aruna Dindane and Nadir Belhadj.
With the transfer embargo in place from the Premier League it looks like the best Portsmouth can hope for is a change in fortunes on the pitch and 17th place after the last match. Financially it’s hard to say what the club will be able to do in the short term. It might take the departure of a few more star players in January just to keep the club afloat and if that’s the case it could be a long time before Pompy see the top flight again.

wide men moving south?
Festive greetings on this chilly night!
We’re about halfway through the busy Christmas/New Year fitba fixtures now, and as it’s Boxing Day all the papers are writing the usual rubbish about transfers with the January transfer window opening in less than a week. As usual it’s a combination of ridiculous claims, unknown quantities moving to midtable clubs and struggling sides looking for experience.
What’s inspired me to write this piece was the mention of two similar Celtic players who, in unrelated stories, are supposedly attracting the attentions of separate English Premier League clubs. The two players in question are Aiden McGeady and Niall McGinn, both pacey wingers with the ability to beat quality defenders and produce a bit of magic to split the strongest defences. The gossip that drew me closer to wondering what Tony Mowbray will make of these offers, (that is if they come are actual offers and not simply paper talk) is that Celtic are unlikely to sell both but could be tempted into selling one if the money is right.
So Rafa Benitez is apparently considering buying McGeady to add another dimension to his poor Liverpool side who need a spectacular second half to the season in order to secure a top four place. What price would be acceptable for McGeady? I would guess £5m at the least. He remains a fans favourite despite having a tricky relationship with Mowbray but has only really shown glimpses of the promise he’s had from an early age. I’m sure Celtic would hope for around £7m to justify selling a big name like McGeady, but surely after seeing McGinn’s performances this season he realises he can get away with shifting McGeady for what would be really good money.
But does Mowbray trust McGinn? Personally I believe McGinn has been one of the few stars for Celtic this season, and he has so often managed it from the bench. It has been reported that Wolves are after him for around £1.5m which would be nice money for Celtic considering what they paid for him, but a snippet of his real value when you think of his great performances this season. Shouldn’t Mowbray bite the bullet and go for the younger and perhaps classier winger in McGinn? What would Celtic spend £5m on anyway? Could Celtic get buy with the having Barry Robson, Shaun Maloney or Paddy McCourt playing more regularly in the side? Is McGeady even good enough for the EPL? We’ll only know by the end of January…

the best of 2009....
Mapping Terra Incognita // 17.12.09
The final show of 2009's schedule for Mapping Terra Incognita was so explosive that a light blew in the studio......or perhaps that was the work of a certain clumsy presenter. Either way, the show was a hectic one, squeezing in a number of categories to provide a countdown of the best music worldwide from 2009.
Its been an unbelievable year for music, especially for the UK and the way that electronic music has progressed, with the likes of Glasgow, Bristol and L.A. at the forefront. This is reflected in the show, as I look at the best collaboration, best soundtrack, best LP, release, artist and more.
Tune in and turn it up.....prepare for the global sound of Mapping Terra Incognita. (Oh, and Merry Christmas!!!)

sampled
Tarantism play a choice of songs that they feel demonstrate intelligent use of sampling, and discuss how choosing the correct sounds can effect the mood of a song. The diverse selection of songs throughout the show range from electronic, to lounge, to ambient and to experimental hip-hop, and illustrate the various ways in which samples are used in modern sound production, regardless of genre.

best of 2009 special
It's come to the end of 2009 so for the last Beat Beneath of the decade I'm going to run through, in my opinion, some of the best dance tracks to come out in 2009 in a special two-hour show. Expect tunes from Itamar Sagi, John Tejada, Robert Hood, Scuba and many many more in a show which will cover electronica, house, techno and "bass music" (how I dislike that term...). One not to miss...

the consumermas special ii
Pop Goes The Revolution // 18.12.09
This week, as Consumermas looms, George attempts to avoid discussing that torid time of year altogether. Meanwhile, Nikki comes in full festive gear and parade about with tinself ladened tracks sure to warm even the coldest hearts... apart from George's that is.
So expect the show to veer between ignoring Christmas all together to suddenly praising how wonderful it is. Expect the playlist to do something similar. With non-Christmasy offerings from Kap Bambino, Our Lost Infantry and Marble Fairy, as well as more festive stuff from Jason Mraz, Sufjan Stevens, as well as an electro-synth version of Let It Snow and this year's official Chronically Depressing Christmas Anthem from Slow Club.

Music Always Comes First // 26.12.09
Well the 2009 broadcasting has came to the end. This is the last show of 2009 for Nity And Jay. However dont be disapointed as both the terrible pair will be bringing you some exclusives on your day of rest after Xmas Day. These exclusives will include the Glasgow Version of Show N Proves project with Dead Set Gemini (Deezy and Jee4ce). This is going to be the second version of 2 joints out with the Auld Reekie All Stars having already done the first version for Show N Prove.
Also Nity and Jay have made a compilation of the funniest and craziest parts of the 2009 shows. If you have tuned in to most of the shows you can imagine how funny this should be.
Tune in for a very funny show and a great playlist of music.

Roots, Rock, Reggae // 14.12.09
It's time for the long-awaited Christmas episode. I know there's still one more episode to go before Christmas, but I couldn't resist. Listen in the 'Listen Again' section to hear all the tracks from Phil Spector's Christmas Album, plus a few other favourites thrown in for good measure.

3 women
What’s the point of film critics’ end of year cannons? Solipsistic, ego-wanking lists that give the listers kudos among their peers, while simultaneously they shame the movie-going hoi polloi for not having seen the latest Bella Tar bore-fest...the bastards. But who are we at Screen Shrapnel to break with this reductive and hackney tradition. So here it is, the greatest films released in the UK in the last 12 months according to your favourite ill informed film-tits, Jamie Dunn, Graham Fulton and Nicholas Green.
So what do our top tens reveal about the Screen Shrapnel team? Well, firstly, we have quite eclectic tastes. Nick, for example, like some schizophrenic Barry Norman, has both a worthy costume drama and a straight-to-video assault on the senses vying for his top spot. Graham, meanwhile, finds space for both a crack-pot Bavarian maverick and an animated family adventure movie.
Also, contrary to our innuendo filled geezer antics in the studio, we’re quite a sensitive trio. Not only did we all plump for sensual studies of passion for our year's best, but our favourites were all filmed by the fairer sex. New age men or what?
What might not surprise you, however, is that there’s little agreement between us, with only two films making all three of our lists: The White Ribbon and Let the Right One In. All in all we have chosen twenty-two films, which include Bright Star, Vinyan, A Serious Man, The White Ribbon, Let the Right One In, Anvil! The Story of Anvil, Anti-christ, Moon, 35 Shots of Rum, The Cove, After School, Fish Tank, The Wrestler, Zombieland, Synecdoche NY, District 9, Sleep Furiously, Frozen River, Encounters at the End of the World, Il Divo and UP!.
Get on the facebook page to let us know what we’ve missed.

big ass news: you gotta shoot 'em in the head!
Merry Christmas to all my geeklings. I hope Santa codes all your asses in the script of your preferred operating systems. Thanks to Allan and Jamie again, especially Jamie for doing the exclusive song for the Christmas special. Here are the final newslinks for this year's run of Get Back To 8-bit. More nonsense in the new year!
Remember the true meaning of Christmas by displaying a torture device from the classical period proudly in your living room and freak all your neighbours out:
Radioactive guard dogs from Russia are definitely super-villain worthy, but not nearly as evil as the radioactive pedophile who was in the news a few months ago:

Thank you once again Etsy, for renewing my belief that artists and amateur crafters trying to sell their wares online need a swift kick in the head. If you give your dog one of these for Christmas, I'm calling the RSPCA:

a bottle rocket xmas (nice n sleazys, sat night!)
today's show will be very very very christmassy - the yulegates are open and the festivefloods are filling bottle rocket up to the brim. i haven't decided on a fixed playlist, but joy formidable's new christmas track will feature, as will something from the utterly ridiculous yet strangely loveable twisted sister 'a twisted christms' (which landed on my doorstep this morning). the only rule is i won't repeat anything from last year's show, which is still available to stream somewhere on this site.
also, a bottle rocket christmas party is this saturday at nice n sleazys - 11:30pm till 3:00am, £3 entry and lotsa lovely music! come and say hello - i'll be the gladragged drunk dad-dancing on the stage...

Rock n Roll Meltdown // 17.12.09
Pete is finally back from the brink of death at 5-7pm this Thursday (17th December), for the not-entirely festive ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN FESTIVE APOCALYPSE!
Expect minimal yuletide celebration, wall-to-wall vomiting, unpleasant smells and there will be rock, roll, punk, sleaze, glam, surf, garage, metal and psychedelia in abundance, plus the usual favourite features and Pete will be rapidly running through a slightly underwhelming decades-worth of rock, seeing as it's the last show of the year and everything.

1996. lanark. a small rural scottish town.
It’s a Saturday afternoon. Somewhere at a desk an awkward dweeby bespectacled teen sits listening to the radio while studying for exams. Midway through a dull afternoon Jo Wiley (remember, it used to be ok to listen to her show) randomly chooses to play a tune by an obscure San Franciscan DJ/Producer. It catches the ear of the teen, they put down their workbook and scrabble frantically for the post-it notes kept handy for such occasions. Scrawling “Shadow Stem” onto a tacky scrap of dull yellow paper and slapping it up with the mosaic of other song notes on the wall beside the desk, they return to study…
Elsewhere in the same small town there’s Andrew. Living life with surgically attached headphones providing a constant stream of unadulterated Beastie Boys. Little did they know that a shared love of the record label which released DJ Shadow would stimulate a friendship that lasted decades and spanned the airwaves.
This week on Build and Destroy we celebrate musical exploration at the age of 15 and the joy of the late, formerly great, Mo’wax Records.

a christmas gift for you... well, sort of
Students for Scarves and Charm // 15.12.09
Chaos reigns supreme in the studio as we fail to notice that someone has messed with the pitch on one of the CD decks until we realise that Tracy Ann Campbell from Camera Obscura sounds like she's chewing toffee and I am thrown into fits of confusion simply by thd movement of the studio phone number. Forgive us for our technical boobery. While technical Grinches threaten to ruin our (obligatory) Christmas special, Bicola lets out her inner Grinch by grumbling through some choice selections from Phil Spector's "A Christmas Gift For You", Sufjan Stevens singing about Jesus (again) and basically anything involving sleigh bells, and I recall Christmas memories of church and children's films.
All in all, a show that some terribly witty person on the internet is probably captioning "EPIC FAIL." right now.
This is our last show of the year so have a merry Christmas and a very happy New Year.
Mairiclare and Bicola.

le lendemain - fires
The Feature album for this week is Le Lendemain's 'Fires' out now on the home normal label. "Le Lendemain is the new project between Danny Norbury and David Wengrenn. Following on from their early collaboration under David’s Library Tapes moniker (Sketches), we find the pair delivers a more personal album of hazy dialogues."
This album is certainly 'wintery' in every sense of the word. Amongst the serene sounds of Le Lendemain I will be playing some other favourite tunes of mine.

This weeks Killer Kitsch show features a guest mix from a good friend of ours. We first met Martin Moffat (aka HOODSHIDEGILLS) over a year ago when we started our residency at The Local (where Martin is the manager). Not long after that he got into DJing himself and has come very far in a short space of time. He is now a resident at the night Scrabble which runs on the last Friday of every month at various venues (Stereo, Universal, Pivo Pivo). Also, they will be doing a Hogmanay Special at The Local.

the last week in sport
What an interesting week it's been to kick-off the busy Christmas period. We'll start our round-up with football, so often our main focus. Dean Ashton topped the sports stories early on Friday and once again not for happy reasons. The West Ham front man, often touted as a future England star called time on his career at the tender age of 26. We wish him all the best as he looks for a career after football.
Perhaps the lack of fireworks in the last round of Champions League football made this even bigger news, although in saying that Michael Owen rolled back the years with a hat trick over Wolfsburg to ensure Man Utd finished top of their group. Chelsea continued some dodgy form, having lost to Man City the weekend before, they drew with Apoel Nicosia but still topped the group having had earlier great form. One side without much form is Liverpool who seem to be going from crisis to crisis. The return of Gerrard, Torres and Aquilani in the past week haven't managed to stop the rot. Arsenal have hit form at a crucial stage of the season and beat Liverpool yesterday to consolidate third place in the league on a weekend when the two leaders dropped points. So, have Chelsea and Man Utd gone off the boil as we reach the busiest part of the season?
Meanwhile in Scottish action things still look tight. Walter Smith's decision to continue as Rangers boss without a contract shows a love and dedication we don't often see in the twenty-first century. They'll need continuity through this hard season as Beasley and Alexander consider moves for first team football. McGeady seems to have settled back into the Celtic team after difficulties with Mowbray a few months ago. Things are beginning to look good at Celtic Park with Samaras and Fortune showing great form in front of goal while Rangers prepare for a tough period once again reliant on Boyd to show them the way. And what of the chasing pack? Hibs and Dundee Utd remain within touching distance and on their day look as good as the Old Firm sides. Will they be in a similar position come the end of the season?
Rumour has it the SFA have had a large number of high quality applicants for the vacant national managerial position. Perhaps having time to fill the position will help them find the right man to take Scotland forward.
Moving on from football, we returned to club rugby following the Autumn Internationals. The Heineken Cup came back with a bang as Ulster survived some eye gouging and other jiggery pokery to beat French giants Stade Francais to roll back the years to 1999 when they won the European Cup. At the halfway point in the Cup Glasgow Warriors appear poised to make their best effort at reaching the latter stages, having beaten Gloucester comfortably at the weekend. Edinburgh couldn't continue the fine form for Scottish rugby and sit bottom of Pool 4 after losing to Bath.
In other sport, the UK Championship brought Ding Junhui his second major trophy last night by defeating John Higgins 9-7 in the final. So much for snooker being in trouble, a cracking semi-final between Higgins and Ronnie O'Sullivan had fans sitting on the edge of their seats after a stunning comeback from the Rocket ensured a last frame decider. In a completely contrasting sport to this, the NFL have announced they'll be back to the UK for two matches this time.
Not too bad for just one week eh? I've not even mentioned the BBC Sports Personality of the Year yet, bringing another trophy to Ryan Giggs, as if he needs it. While Jenson Button and Jessica Ennis finished the year on a high by picking up the runners-up places. Capello won coach of the year and maybe his first trophy in the UK will quickly be followed by a second if England can win the World Cup in 2010. One other team hoping to make a similar impact next year is the England cricket team, having won team of the year they will face South Africa, Pakistan and Australia next year and once again search for the top spot in the world.
This week we've got a full midweek fixture list in the EPL, Europa League action, the first Test match for Eng v SA, more Heineken Cup action, and Rangers will have another chance to go top of the SPL.
Pretty damn exciting, even if I do say so myself...

Live From Las Vegas // 11.12.09
Hillary Chinnery returned from work late that day. This had become a regular occurrence but it should be noted that as the years went by the time he returned home had gotten later and later, as if one day he may just never return. This didn't seem like too bad a thing to happen thought his wife, who although loved her husband had grown increasingly sick of him the less she saw of him. It was already well into the evening when Hillary got in. "Where's my tea?" he mumbled before the door was even closed behind him. His wife explained that the chicken was in the oven but the frozen vegetables were not yet defrosted. Rage surged up inside Hillary and he only managed to curb it by focusing on his clenched fists and remembering that his favourite romantic movie was on tonight - running man. After a couple of medium strength lagers, watching Arnold Schwarzenegger kill off the surrounding members of the cast, Hillary felt better. Within the futuristic world he saw Arnold murder someone with a pneumatic drill and say 'screw you'. A cruel smile spread on Hilary's face and he enjoyed the idea that a brutal slaughtering required a proceeding pun. "How was work?" asked his wife from what seemed like nowhere. Hillary ignored the question. "How was work?" she repeated. Again Hillary ignored. "David came round today, asked if we had any plans for Christmas. I told him I didn't know." She said. For some reason this completely enraged Hillary. Blood rushed quickly to his face and he felt the heat burning in his cheeks. Still he said nothing to his wife. "Do you want me to get you another drink?" his wife asked. This was simply too much for the now fuming Hillary. He got up from the chair, constantly referred to as 'my chair', he walked a stiff walk to the kitchen and when he returned he was carrying the bag of not yet defrosted frozen vegetables. He then swung the bag at his wife. He knocked her down. He beat her to death. Hillary looked down at the object that was once a living thing and mumbled - "Rest in pees"

Expect passionate raving about the releases we loved from '09, as well as a couple of artists new to the show that we've been itching to play.

The Breakfast Show // 07.12.09
The Breakfast Ninjas have jumped ship (ie, snuggled up in bed!) and left Mel and Nicki B with the ultimate dilemma...who will get the sausages? Will there be time to bargain for a tattie scone or two? And what about the sauce? Grab and run with the tomato or gamble with the brown? All will be revealed as Mel and Nicki B rise to the challenge of multi-tasking this week!
As Jack Frost nips and the wind blasts, turn over in bed, pull the duvet tighter and relax with our favourite features and cheese-tastic tunes. It's banter for breakfast, served of course (we hope!) with the usual carnage and a tattie scone to boot!

Hey, well the secret third show may appear and may not o listen again, depending on how good you make this show. What do you mean, it's me that's meant to make the show good?
Well, tonight as I'm in the studio the Christmas number 1 is pretty much decided. Why should we care? Well, I remember the times when it was still a massive thing. I remember the years when Jackie Wilson's Reet Petite got there, when Whatever by Oasis narrowly missed out and I, yes I came * * this close to helping create a number 1.
Hear that story and my choice of what to buy for xmas music between 8 and 9 tonight.

vegetarian chicken soup for the secular soul
This week: the last show of 2009 is, inevitably, Christmas/winter-centric. Returning favourites from Arab Strap and Darlene Love, something from Bob Dylan's "Christmas In The Heart" (which somehow manages to sound exactly like you'd expect whilst still being totally shitting mental) and Fucked Up and guests putting their own inimitable stamp on "Do They Know It's Christmas". It's a Festivus for the rest of us.

the birth of jesus and guardian readers
Alas, Steve is unable to attend the show this week, so trusty irish wonder Michael J. O'Neill steps in to take over co-host duties and discuss the spirit of christmas with Rob. Together, they go on a journey through the most troubling debates of our time, and play some pretentious christmas themed songs.
There's classic poetry from T.S. Eliot, and more from Glasgow four-peice El Dog with their take on Christmas pop classic Let It Snow, which is availiable as a free download right here!
Hope this christmas edition of the Itch helps you get through the exam/essay season slightly less jaded! We'll be back in the new year with more poetry, arts chat, and new music for you all. Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a Good Night!

it's almost christmas
which means only one more show before we go home. Phil was ill, and Anna proved her mettle by coming in at the very last minute (I text her at 9.30) and helping me out, so I wasn't just standing in a room by myself. Anyway, it makes for a nice change of tone for the show, and meant that I was allowed to play The Libertines.
Anyway normal service shall resume next week, so even if you'll already have left Glasgow by then listen in anyway. Ta! Emma.

It felt really cold and barren in the studio like a bad uterus yesterday doing the show all by my lonesome, so thank Voltron next week I'll be packing not one, but two other bodies in my very festive pants.

While it's still unclear just what the effcicle was happening over Norway this week (My money's on extradimensional portal to five seconds ago), I think it's safe to say that if it turns out to be something bad, some arsetard in the church will tell us to stop bumming each other because of it:

classic michael owen
Join Tap Ae The League on Facebook
Group A Bordeaux 16pts Bayern Munich 10 pts Juventus 8pts Maccabi Haifa 0pts
Juventus 1 - 4 Bayern
Juventus and Bayern faced off in Turin, with the winner guaranteed a spot in the last 16 (Juventus only needed a draw). Juve took the lead and then just sat in content for the draw. Butt equalised from the penalty spot, a 3rd goal in the CL for the keeper. Despite defeating Inter at home on Saturday, Ciro Ferrara attempted to play it safe, taking off Del Piero at half time, and replacing him with Poulsen. Juve got what they deserved for this, as Bayern played them off the park, scoring 3 in the 2nd half to finish 4-1. Buffon made a mess of the second, and Tymoschuk scored a cracking 4th to round things off, and ease the mounting pressure on van Gaal. Impressive win with no Arjen Robben in the starting line up, and Ribery and Klose injured (with Luca Toni out of the picture having fallen out with Van Gaal) yet they still managed to inflict Juve's worst home Champions League defeat.
Maccabi Haifa 0 - 1 Bordeaux
Bordeaux winning comfortably in Israel, sealing top spot and making it through undefeated. Great finish from Jussie to win it here, and they progress to the final 16.
Group B
Man United 13 CSKA Moscow 10 Wolfsburg 7 Besiktas 4
Wolfsburg 1 - 3 Man United
All the talk before this game was of United's defensive injuries however they won pretty handsomely here. A Michael Owen hat trick, rarer than an accurate Lee Naylor cross, was the highlight here. He contrived to miss 1 other excellent chance but a great performance from him, about time too... Also worth mentioning Patrice Evra was outstanding at the back for United. The always impress Edin Dzeko got Wolfsburg's equaliser but this wasn't enough to kick them on and get the win they needed. Barzagli and Misimovic both missed good chances in the first half as well, as the German champions settle for the Europa League.
Besiktas 1 - 2 CSKA
A good win on the road for the Muscovites (without Ignashevich and Alexei Berezutskiy, who were both banned for failing a drugs test after their game at Old Trafford, though on their recent form for club and country this is probably a blessing in disguise), as they sealed their progression to the last 16. A good goal from the increasingly impressive Milos Krasic was cancelled out by Bobo, but Aldonin struck late on to give them the win.
Group C R. Madrid 13 Milan 9 Marseille 7 Zurich 4
Marseille 1 - 3 Real Madrid
A win for Marseille would have seen them through but it wasn't to be the case. Cristiano Ronaldo got his 11th and 1th goals for Real, with Raul Albiol netting in between. Lucho Gonzalez had equalised for Marseille after Ronaldo's long range free-kick found the net (Mandanda should have done better), and Lucho also missed a penalty with the score at 2-1. Madrid progress top scorers with 15.
Zurich 1 - 1 AC Milan
Zurich were looking to build on their 1-0 victory in the San Siro, and took the lead with a great free kick from Milan Gajic (again though, questions could be asked of the keeper). Ronaldinho equalised from the penalty spot and Milan seal their place in the last 16.
Group D
Chelsea 14 Porto 12 Atletico Madrid 3 APOEL Nicosia 3
Chelsea 2 - 2 APOEL
APOEL knew a Europa League spot was up for grabs if they could shock the world and win at Stamford Bridge. They took the lead early on however Essien and Drogba soon gave Chelsea the lead. A mistake from Mikel Jon Obi let Mirosavljevic in to equalise but they couldn't find a winner.
Atletico Madrid 0 - 3 Porto
Another shambolic Atletico performance in Europe. Making progress in the league under Quique Sanchez Flores, they were facing an already qualified Porto side and should have been looking to win. Porto took an early lead and it got worse from there, Hulk's goal (Porto's third) was the pick of the bunch, a terrific strike. Atletico qualify for the Europa League only on the away goal they scored in Cyprus, and things can only get better for them.
Group E
Fiorentina 15 Lyon 13 Liverpool 7 Debrecen 0
Liverpool 1 - 2 Fiorentina
Liverpool were already consigned to the Europa League before this game however another home defeat piles on the misery for them. Aquilani impressed on his first start, and Benayoun gave them a half time lead. Martin Jorgensen levelled for Fiorentina after the break before Gilardino confined Liverpool to their second successive home defeat in Europe (a first for the club) after youngster Stephen Darby's error. A shambles in Europe this season for Liverpool, their only saving grace being that Debrecen were the 4th team in their group.
Lyon 4 - 0 Debrecen
The question was always going to be how many for Lyon. Aly Cissokho and Michel Bastos both scoring good goals, to add to Bafe Gomis and Miralem Pjanic's strikes. An impressive campaign for perennial last 16 (at least) campaigners Lyon, and Bordeaux, and to think there are some who don't believe French sides impress in this competition...
Group F
Barcelona 11 Inter 9 Rubin Kazan 6 Dynamo Kiev 5
Inter 2 - 0 Rubin Kazan
Inter hadn't won a home CL game since last year v Anorthosis Famagusta, but they needed a result against the Russian champions. Great play by Zanetti on the left set up Samuel Eto'o who powered it home. The much maligned Mario Balotelli sealed the points for Inter with a cracking free-kick. Inter were buoyed by the return of Wesley Sneijder, I may be wrong, but I don't think they have lost a game when he's played for them. Rubin missed a couple of good chances, Gokdeniz and Cesar Navas the culprits. A spirited showing in this group from Rubin - they defeated the holders in the Camp Nou, and drew with both Barca and Inter in Kazan (though they should probably have won both).
Dynamo Kiev 1 - 2 Barcelona
Artem Milevskiy gave Dynamo an early lead, with Valdes letting his header slip under him. Xavi brought it level before half time, and Messi's free-kick late on denied Kiev a Europa League spot. AT one stage in the evening Kiev were in the last 16, but ended up going out of Europe altogether...
Group G
Sevilla 13 Stuttgart 9 Unirea Urziceni 8 Rangers 2
Sevilla 1 - 0 Rangers
And so Rangers European campaign comes to an end, the worst ever showing in the Champions League by a Scottish team with only 2 points (and equalling their own record of failing to win a game). The defeat could have been heavier, as they simply couldn't get close to Sevilla in the first half. Papac and Bougherra cleared off the line, and Sevilla were also denied 2 pretty good penalty appeals in the first half. Diego Capel was in magnificent form, terrorising Whittaker down the left flank. Novo had a good chance to level in the second half, and Lee McCulloch forced a good save from Palop, however Rangers will just be glad that their European campaign is finished after a dreadful season.
Stuttgart 3 - 1 Unirea
Christian Gross' first game in charge of Stuttgart saw them qualify for the last 16 at the expense of the Romanian champions. 3 goals within the first 11 minutes saw to that. A draw for the Romanians would have ensured their passage through, but they couldn't keep up with the Germans blistering start (including a rare Pavel Pogrebnyak goal, almost as rare these days as a Michael Owen hat-trick). A shame for Unirea, who have had their moments in this group, however they will console themselves with the Europa League spot.
Group H
Arsenal 13 Olympiacos 10 Standard Liege 5 AZ Alkmaar 4
AKA The group no-one cares about.
Olympiacos 1 - 0 Arsenal Reserves/Under 19's
Arsenal were already assured top spot, and as such Arsene Wenger rested most of his key players. Olympiacos knew a point would send them through, and Leonardo went one better by grabbing them all 3 with a great run and finish. Arsenal had a couple of decent chances late on, though Carlos Vela faltered twice.The performances of Ramsey and Song in particular will please Arsenal fans ahead of Sunday's trip to Anfield.
Standard Liege 1 - 1 AZ Alkmaar
Standard Liege qualify for the last 16 at Alkmaar's expense, with goalkeeper Sinan Bolat scoring in the 95th minute to equalise, and ensure the Belgians will play in Europe after Christmas.
So there we have it: Bordeaux, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Cska Moscow, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Chelsea, Porto, Fiorentina, Lyon, Sevilla, Stuttgart, Arsenal, Olympiacos, Inter Milan and Barcelona are the last 16 teams in the Champions League. A mixed bag, Liverpool and Juventus the big shocks who went out, though neither deserve to be in the last 16. It is perhaps worth noting that 1st place doesn't really offer too much comfort - Lyon, Inter, AC Milan, and Bayern Munich all finished second, no team would savour being drawn against these sides.

jim murphy: secretary of state for scotland
Like we said in the previous news post we here at Debate is Free don't get out that much and Christmas is no exception.
But rest assured we have lots of Christmas goodies for you as we continue our broadcasts over the holiday season.
One of our interviews is with Jim Murphy, the Secretary of State for Scotland and her voice in the Cabinet at Westminster. Although devolution has meant many of the Scotland Office's powers were transferred to the Scottish Parliament the Secretary of State still has many responsibilities.
These include: welfare reform, child poverty, asylum and immigration and broadcasting as well as the economy, climate change and representing Scotland on a range of Westminster Committees.
However the main job of the Secretary of state is in his own words: "oiling the wheels of devolution" and ensuring that Scotland is heard at the highest levels of government.

Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 10.12.09
Ok, you were promised a feat of unsigned Glasgow bands, but once again, twas but a calculated ruse!!! Instead, you can hear tracks by bands playing Glasgow this week, both big and small, including the Phantom Band, Dillinger Four and Porcupine Tree. Also, Nick offered up some random selections including one to represent his concept of a "reggae xmas" this year, Tito and Tarantulas wonderful "After Dark" and some more than welcome Canned Heat.
As i said, we are actively working on our reboot, but meantime i will strive to compile a "best of" for next week, then get ready for an epic 2 hour show on xmas eve. Lovely.
CHAFINCH, ALBATROSS!! You'll have to listen to find out why i say that, and also to not hear the origin of the term POPPYCOCK!
Yeah, we're weird. Deal with it.

But next week (the 17th December) will see our return, for a wonderfully festive ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN treat!
Expect minor festivities, wall-to-wall vomiting, unpleasant smells and a whole host of totally kick-ass rock n roll!

vince cable shadow chancellor for the lib dems
Debate is Free won't be stopping over Christmas. Oh no we don't have social lives so instead we busy ourselves reading Private Eye and the Spectator rather than getting sloshed at the office party.
That also means however we can bring you an interview with Vince Cable, the Liberal Democrats Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer and the party's deputy leader. With the UK still stuck firmly in recession, graduates futures looking shaky and the world looking increasingly bleaker we take your questions to the man who saw it coming.
We will also be questioning Dr Cable on the uncertainty that arose after the parties annual conference regarding their policy to get rid of student tuition fees and the £1 million mansion tax that divided the Liberal Democrats back in September.

shut up and eat your best of year part 1
Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 10.12.09
Howdy! So this week and next week we will be doing our "best of year", playing and talking about the best bands Nick and I have seen at Pivo Pivo and elsewhere. I'd started out making a top 10 and ended up with a top 24, there really is so much quality out there, and even a commited gig goer and venue booker like myself can only see and hear a fraction of what's out there in Scotland. But i think the songs we intend playing are representative of the variety of genres that are out there, and the quality of Scottish music. This is part 1, next week we'll have part 2, then after our xmas break we'll be back with a "rebooted" format that will be more focused on local unsigned bands and live studio sets.
Now Shut up and Eat Your Music

groups e-h. the last eight places
1 Fiorentina 12
2 Lyon 10
3 Liverpool 7
4 Debrecen 0
This one's all sealed up and we all know how disappointing Liverpool have been this season. The fight is for top spot and Lyon could come from behind to steal it on the last night as they welcome Debrecen while Fiorentina are on the road to Anfield. La Viola could have eight players out and like United last night, it could be a struggle for three points. Lyon haven't been on sparkling form themselves, losing to Lille at the weekend means this one's hard to call.
1 Barcelona 8
2 Inter Milan 6
3 Rubin Kazan 6
4 Dynamo Kiev 5
All eyes will be on Group F tonight as all four sides can make it through to the knockout stages. Barca must be favourites having points on the board and facing Dynamo the side with least points. The stipulations involving this match are quite complicated. Looking at the table, a draw would appear to favour Inter and if it finishes 0-0 or 1-1 they would go through. However, any draw higher than 1-1 would ensure Rubin upset the odds. I hate to bring up facts from last year which carry little weight when considering recent form etc. but Inter haven't won at home in the CL for over a year, and coupled with losing to Juve this weekend maybe they'll find themselves dropping to the Europa League just like their Italian counterparts.
1 Sevilla 10
2 Unirea Urziceni 8
3 VfB Stuttgart 6
4 Rangers 2
Sevilla are in the driving seat tonight having already qualified. Nobody would've expected Unirea to have made quite as big a splash but Petrescu's men will need a draw away from home to seal up second place. Stuttgart will have the experience to win at home but they will miss Hitzlsperger and Kuzmanovic as well as a few others, and this could allow Unirea to edge this and what a great story it would be if they managed it.
1 Arsenal 13
2 Olympiakos 7
3 Standard Liege 4
4 AZ Alkmaar 3
Liege can still go through but they'll have to get a result and ensure Olympiakos do the same at the Emirates. Arsenal have comfortably got top spot and so could rest important players, so we can't rule Liege out just yet. The reverse fixture was a 1-1 draw and AZ will be close to full strength so I would give the Belgian side just a small chance of getting through, but a draw would at least achieve a Europa League place.
-Of the less fancied teams tonight, Unirea are the most likely to get a spot in the knockout rounds. Rubin Kazan have managed to put the cat among the pigeons in Group F but it could be a step to far, while Olympiakos could have an easier night than expected at the Emirates to knock Standard Liege out. With so many matches deciding places tonight I can tell it's going to be another cracker.

That's right it's that time of the year again when Ghosts in the Machine spread a little Christmas cheer... well... most of us anyway. Lets hope when Challenge Dave and Jaque de'Avison meet for the "Christmas Cracker Challenge" things don't turn too sour. So make sure you have your feet up, a warm glass of mulled wine (its early in the day but so be it), your radio turned up, and listen to some festive merriment coming in your ears.

Students for Scarves and Charm // 08.12.09
No particular theme for this weeks Students for Scarves and Charm but we bring you a mix of some of the best pop music around, mostly from the country that invented pop (well, brought us ABBA), Sweden.
Amidst the brilliant music, Bicola battles against some form of plague (again) and we discuss Sarah Harding's squalling, struggles with articulation, dandyism and Lady Gaga remaining amazing in the face of transphobic idiots from The Sunday Times.
You can see that infamous GMTV Girls Aloud performance in all its cringing glory here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_L3ZsR05bk and read Lyn Barber's odious Lady Gaga interview here: http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article6940885.ece.

champions league groups a-d. the story so far...
Group A
1 Bordeaux 5 13
2 Juventus 5 8
3 Bayern Munich 5 7
4 Maccabi Haifa 5 0
It's rare that a French team should impress us so much in Europe but Bordeaux have done that, beating both Juve and Bayern they have earned the right to put their feet up and watch two European titans battle it out for second place. The Italians are favourites not through any amazing form but because Bayern are without key players Ribery, Klose and Toni. So if Juve can guard against the wide men they should be able to close this out and make it to the next round. Regardless, neither have hit good form in the domestic league this season so I believe they can't be written off in making a splash in the latter stages.
1 Man Utd 5 10
2 Wolfsburg 5 7
3 CSKA Moscow 5 7
4 Besiktas 5 4
Everyone knows United are missing a whole defence but they don't need to win to go through but to win the group. Avoiding the likes of Barca will be an aim of Fergie, but they can't be hamstrung by that as the sole aim. With the key Christmas period coming up more squad rotation wouldn't be a bad idea, and besides, Wolfsburg have to get a win. Moscow are in the driving seat and will take on a toothless Besiktas so I'm sure a lot of news will be communicated from stadium to stadium before we know who goes through with United.
1 Real Madrid 5 10
2 AC Milan 5 8
3 Marseille 5 7
4 FC Zurich 5 3
AC take on Zurich in the final gameweek and it won't be an easy task as the Swiss side nicked a one-nil win at the San Siro. Marseille can't be ruled out either. Real will be wary of the French who are adept at scoring plenty at home but were on the receiving end of a three-nil thumping at the Bernabeu, so this could be one of the most interesting matches tomorrow night. Real are in the driving seat and I think AC could nip through also, a shame for Marseille who really shook this group up.
1 Chelsea 5 13
2 FC Porto 5 9
3 Atletico Madrid 5 3
4 Apoel Nicosia 5 2
Chelsea's good form hasn't been limited to the Premier League and they've walked a challenging group. The biggest disappointment have been Athletico and thats not just been a European phenomenon, they have been the Liverpool of La Liga - reaching a high point of 13th this weekend. So the race is for the Europa League. Apoel have the unenviable task of taking on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and even with a second XI for the Blues I'd expect them to win. Athletico can make third their own and I think they can beat Porto.
-Arguably we will see only one major team not getting through due to Bordeaux having great results against Juve and Bayern. Many would have expected more from Athletico but they were an early casualty, while in Group C Marseille could have an outside chance of knocking another big side into the Europa League tomorrow night. We'll just have to watch and see...

a tribute to recordplayerz- interview w/ hushpuppy
Two weeks in a row. Two Optimos in a row. Two moshpits in a row. What's happening?
Moshing aside, this week we have for you an exlusive mix performed by Nathan and Marco, Live in the Subcity studio. The theme of the night is the Art School Thursday's long running club night, R-P-Z (formerly RecordPlayerz).
Being a regular haunt for us, the midweek debauchery it brought with it was a shaping part of our musical taste and attitude towards night clubs as a whole. After the horrendously strenuous process of trying to select our Top 10 Art School tracks of all time, we've put them together into a mix to help all our friends remember the music and good times that ensured none of us made it into Uni on a Friday morning.
Also, we have an interview with Alan, aka Hushpuppy, co-founder of RecordPlayerz, which gives us a nice little insight into the club's background, its ethos and its future plans.
And don't forget to listen out for the competition this week, for a chance to win TWO FREE TICKETS TO SOULWAXMASS at the Braehead Arena on Dec 18th. The question is:
In the interview, how many people does Hushpuppy say would come to the Art School in its hey-day?
Send your answers to our Facebook page and the winner will be announced on next week's show!
DANCE // NOISE // DELIRIUM!
Every f**cking Thursday. Right up the arty.

eastborn from dropzone records in the studio
Music Always Comes First // 12.12.09
In the studio this week with Nity And Jay is Eastborn. Eastborn is the owner of dropzone records and also an artist at the same time. He has played gigs all over the world and perhaps this is what has made him who he is and gave him the views that he has. Eastborn likes a chat on politics and his views are what some people might class as extreme and others would class as normal. Its swings and roundabouts. He does charity work and youth projects in his own time and is also commited to his career as an artist.
Nity will be interviewing Eastborn and will look to clear up some long overdue questions and also be having a general chat about whats coming from dropzone in the new year.
Tune in and anyone that knows Eastborn and Nity and Jays straight to the point banter then they will know that the show is bound to be a good show to listen too on a late friday night.

Does Not Affect Play // 06.12.09
"The streets are full of admirable craftsmen, but so few practical dreamers" reads the Man Ray quotation on the back of the new Rafael Anton Irisarri release, Daydreaming. This record will feature alongside others from Johann Johannsson, Anduin, and Akira Kosemura on this week's dream-like episode of Does Not Affect Play. So escape your quotidian regime, take a moment to dream, and immerse yourself in a wordless world of sound. CAUTION: may cause drowsiness.

the deep, then the grime and bass
First show since playing the lite club so got a more flowing mix going in this show. Show opens with a rustie track that he gave out free on his myspace earlier in the week so if youve not got it get over to his myspace, didge kicks it off from there with a deep selection to get you zoned, and then dust head brings the bass with a dirty mix of grime and dubstep.

good citizenship for beginners.....
Once upon a time in Glasgow there were some really nice guys who got on quite well and decided to form a band. In this band there were guitars and drums and noisiness and shouting, quite a lot of shouting. It was decided this band would be called Citizens. Some observers described them as post-hardcore though She Said generally avoids such tempting labels.
Citizens have mounted a long-standing campaign to appear on She Said with letters, e-mails, endless drinks and offers of seemingly improbable sexual favours. Eventually our meagre resistance was worn down so today, ladies and gentleman of She Said land, we bring you the majesty that is Citizens.
Wayhaay!!

Pop Goes The Revolution // 04.12.09
Building a playlist is a very good way to procrastinate.
That's why we've searched high and low for some good tunes this week. Returning to our ears our Heels Catch Fire, Kap Bambino and Futuristic Retro Champions, and making new appearences we have John Jacobs, The Plasticines, Galleries, and an epic 8 minute track by a band from down south.
Plus - the extra good news - is that Nikki is back this week. Which means the whole thing will be distinctly less geeky.

world cup draw and more
This week Tap Ae The League discussed th eweek in football including Ireland's request to become the 33rd team in a 32 team world cup. Also, Pompy have again failed to pay their staff's wages and Scotland look for their new team manager, with abour 20 applicants so far.
A look back at the week in football results gave us many boring draws in the EPL, some exciting ties and Scotland gave us yet another twist in the title race. Coming up this week are pretty much the same, some boring, some good.
FInally we look ahead to today's world cup draw, where the groups will be decided. Is the seeding system fair, what will the group of death be, will North Korea face USA at any point and will England make it to the the final so Murphy can watch them get beat with a bunch of Australians in Brisbane.

Right, it's boiling in the studio. We at Let's Get Physical blame global warming and the western world's silly reliance on unnecessary consumerism. Okay so outside it is near enough Baltic but still, climate change and all that. We will be getting in amongst the issues and the science surrounding global warming. We don't want to turn out like Venus - check out http://www.subcity.org/shows/scifi/44372 at the "Space Merchants" play, Venus is terrible. Also the issues raised in the play surrounding rampant consumerism are also quite apt.

director of liberty, shami chakrabarti
In this week's show on Sunday Debate is Free interviews Shami Chakrabarti, director of the civil liberties group Liberty.
Liberty's motto is: Protecting civil liberties, promoting human rights. They campaign against torture, for equality, young peoples rights, privacy, free speech and for the protection of the Human Rights Act.
Back in December 2005, the BBC Radio 4's Today programme ran a poll of listeners to establish "who runs Britain". The programme placed Shami Chakrabarti on the shortlist of ten people who may run Britain.
Ms Chakrabarti was also named one of the most powerful people in the UK and just missed out on Channel 4's "Most Inspiring Political Figure" award in 2006.
Shami Chakrabarti also frequently wipes the floor with anyone foolhardy enough to disagree with her on the BBC's flagship poltical programme: Question Time.

creating and publishing in glasgow
This week sees News Empire focusing on a theme: creating and publishing. Writers struggling to tackle a novel in a month, a photographer documenting the party scene of Glasgow, and a nude calendar from GUSA are all featured on this week's show.
Headlines All of the breaking international, national and local news.
Read by Louise Pollock and Benzo Harris.
NaNoRiMo Now Everybody thinks they have a novel in them, but how many actually end up writing one? For those so inclined, the National Novel Writing Month sets would-be novelists the task (and gives them an opportunity) of writing an entire 50,000 word novel in the month of November. It's Katie Anderson's first NaNo, while Kirsty Logan is an old hand at the event- they both offer their take on the process and how it has shaped them as writers. Also, Professor Michael Schmidt from the English literature department at Glasgow University offers his thoughts on the event and it's place in the world of writing.
Reporting by Benzo Harris.
Photographing Glasgow Harrison Reid has been photographing parties in and around Glasgow for several years and is due to publish a book on the topic- eventually. He talks about what it's like to photograph in Glasgow and what the self-publishing odyssey is like for photographers.

this is pop?
Students for Scarves and Charm // 01.12.09
This week Students for Scarves and Charm is dedicated to that most maligned of decades: the 80's. It may be better remembered for its cultural detritus and moral bankruptcy rather than significant contributions to popular culture but we hope our mix of New Wave hits from the spikyness of XTC and Talking Heads to the proto-twee of Altered Images and The Cure will convince you that there was a world of joyously inventive pop beyond the synthetic pop sheen of Stock Aitken Waterman and that the 80's were a good time to be a teenager.
The topics of our deliriously sleep deprived (and ,this week, virus ridden) babbling include the evil genius of Malcolm McLaren, cow sound effects, Mairiclare's teenage Pipettes obsession and Bicola enlightens us about the racist undertones in Disney films.
Also, don't forget to check out this week's Unsigned Act, Rose Elinor Dougall at: http://www.myspace.com/roseelinordougallmusic.
All in all, another triumphant week from the show that some critics are calling "quite literally amazing"*.
Now we're off to watch Brat Pack films and sculpt our hair into amazing Flock of Seagullsesque structures.

With a guest mix from Big Man DJ Jonny B coupled with Digital Dust's typical ill steaze, this episode covers a wide range of BASS. Sometimes deep, sometimes electric; always putting man on a hype. Enjoy.

We've braved the perils of Scottish Transport to make it to Edinburgh to do a SubCity exchange with radio station Fresh Air. Holed up in an attic, the sounds of breaks, dubstep, dnb and electro is bouncing all over old Reekie. Boom.

what's this all about
Music For Pleasure // 29.11.09
For our second two hour show in as many weeks, MFP are dredging the vaults to find some of the oddest tracks out there. Along with the usual phil, shiny disks, x-wing song of the week, bad chat and mystery bag fun, we;re going to be looking out the oddments, rarities and down right weirdness that makes charity shop vinyl purchases such an 'interesting' past time.

bottle rocket would look psychotic in a balaclava
last week's 'it-is-totally-time-for-christmas-music/it-is-so-not-time-for-christmas-music' quandry is over. the advent has begun, which means christmas music is a-ok! that said, the 25th is still a loooong time away, so i'll keep it to no more than one carefully selected song this week. otherwise yule only get annoyed (YULE! HARHARHAR)
you: "what else will i hear if i listen to the show on thursday? one christmas song does not a one hour radio show make!"
me: "very true. allow me to run through some other plans"
1. the skinny will have announced its top 10 albums of the year AND its top 10 scottish albums of the whole big fat decade by then so i'll play songs from both lists (including the number ones, but i aint telling you yet wot they is so don't even ask yeah?).
2. all tomorrow's parties will be almost close enough to touch with my mind-fingers, so i'll play associated acts like my bloody valentine, stephen malkmus and the mars volta.
3. some new stuff - vampire weekend alright sir/madam?
4. lotsa stuff from this week's live picks: like the gothenberg address, lightning dust and yeah yeah yeahs. AND THAT'S ONLY THE BEGINNING.

here we go again....
Tonight is going to be messy. Having a show at 3am on a Sunday morning has it's advantages and disadvantages, on the one hand I get to continue the rave post-club, providing only the finest in after-party tunage, on the other I usually end up going out before which inevitably results in slurred words and nonsensical chat. And tonight is no exception, let's hope I can drag myself away from the Subcity Dark Party before 3am rolls by!
Presuming I do make it, tonight I have new music from Lindstrom, Yuksek and Glasgow's own Motorpsycho, a Blog Burner from Retro/Grade, a Classic Cut from Skream, a twenty minute mix of 'mid-tempo calmness', plus a run down of all the hottest parties going on in Glasgow & beyond next week...

previously married women are coming for you!!
Rest easy people in She Said land, normal business resumed tonight with a bang or should that be a noise as Derek and Allan combined energies and bodily fluids to bring you the Albini inspired loveliness that is Glasgow's Ex-Wives. More specifically, Alastair from the band inspired us with tales of metallic plectrums, occasional cross-dressing and outrageously underhand tactics at bar football in the 13th Note.
Oh aye, there were a few tunes as well.
Outstanding.

this weeks show: copenhagen and digital rights
With the Copenhagen Climate conference just over a week away we talk to Darren Johnson, a senior figure within the Green party, who stood twice for Mayor of London and is now the Chair of the London Assembly. We ask; is Copenhagen just another talking shop? Do politicians find it too easy to agree to targets, and what about the controversy regarding climate change theorists trying to suppress other scientists research and doctoring the figures.
We then speak to Jim Killock, Executive Director of Open Rights Group, an organisation that campaigns for civil rights in the digital age. We ask him what the Digital Economy Bill means for you and the future of the internet in the UK.

the great noel coward debate
In which Rob and Steve set out to decide whether Noel Coward is any good, with the help of a man named Brett Myers, and end up making a show all about love stories. Charles Spencer recently wrote in the Telegraph that Mike Bartlett's new play, Cock, at the royal court, was "more like Noël Coward than Mark Ravenhill" and Brett is directing a production of Present Laughter next week at the G12 Studio with STaG, so we thought it would be a good question to ask.
Charles Spencer was too busy to come on the show, though.
We also have new music from Ben Dunn and a little bit from Rob and Steve favourites and Glasgow locals El Dog, who have released an amazing debut album since we last spoke to them. There's also a bit of poetry from W.H. Auden in there too.
Join us again next week when we defile even more classic writers of the english language by asking what's so good about Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath.

electricity - sat 28th nov 2009 - 12-2 pm
Hey folks,
I don't know if those of you based in the UK caught the BBC 4 documentary, 'Synth Britannia' the other week? I did - and guess what this week's show is all about?
Yes, it is a total rip off of... er... I mean fascinating companion piece to that very TV show.
Expect to hear a selection of predictably left-field synth classics, as well as some more chart friendly acts too. They are set to include the likes of Duran Duran, Joy Division, The Pet Shop Boys, Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, Gary Numan, OMD, Giorgio Moroder and more.
The Spotlight is on a band I had forgotten I liked until I watched 'Synth Britannia': Depeche Mode. As usual, it won't involve any rocket science. I'll just be playing a short selection of some of the songs from their first few albums what I really likes.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of monster snyth No. 1s (which are also a little bit No. 2):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EHpozHn-QA
1. The Human League - Don't You Want Me?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cCI_XDQWb0
2. Soft Cell - Tainted Love
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

visits the us embassy
With the US still currently the worlds only superpower and one of the most influential countries on earth we at Debate is Free felt its time to give America her due and have a US politics special. So we decided to interview one of the US's most seasoned and experienced diplomats; Phillip Breeden. You can read some of his bio below
Philip Breeden joined the Foreign Service of the United States Information Agency in 1986. He served in Public Diplomacy positions in Ankara, Antananarivo, Istanbul, Washington, D.C., London, and Tunis before becoming the Consul General in Marseille in 2005. In September 2008, Mr. Breeden became the Press attaché at the U.S. Embassy in London. Mr. Breeden has been the recipient of numerous awards including a Superior Honor Award for his public diplomacy efforts in Tunisia, and the “Palmes Academique” for his work with high schools in France. He speaks French, Arabic and Turkish. He holds a B.A. in International Relations from Stanford University and a M.A.L.D. from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy
We hope to have a few more people on the US special so keep an eye out on the Subcity news, the blog or the facebook page.

i've heard it all before, it makes my ears bleed.
Live sessions. We gots 'em.
Not the ones where Radio One has Insane Clown Posse doing a Gamelan version of Slayer's Reign In Blood, throws it on a cd next to The Blackout (we don't know either) covering Rihanna and Pixie Lott covering David Guetta and calls it eclectic... Seriously, those last two are real.
Test Card do sessions a little differently. Radio One gives you preened rockstars bullshitting about how the next number one has always been a huge influence of theirs. Test Card steals Rockstar from the SRC, breaks its head open and drinks its caffeinated insides... suagr-free and out of date.
On the run up to their first year anniversary, we got east-coast punks Joey Terrifying in to talk and play music... just like real bands do.
Next week: Insane Clown Posse doing Reign In Blood... Gamelan style.

Dance Tonight, Revolution Tomorrow! // 25.11.09
CHURCH TONIGHT, ASHES TOMORROW! To celebrate Nargaroth's 111th birthday (cause he formed way back in 1898 - man thats an obscure joke... :/) we decided to dim the lights, cover the crucifix and get some horrendous blackened metal down everyones throats.
So tune in for a show hotter than the smouldering ruins of Fantoft and colder than those unsilent storms in the north abyss that pissed Abbath off so much.
Don't mind the puns, the music will be good! We have new tunes from the likes of Dodsangel (Fenriz's band of the moment or so I hear) and Austere and newish tunes from Gris, Sombres Forets and Ornassi Pazazu. So far so obscure.
There may even be a couple of stone cold classics chucked on the christian architecture-bonfire too.
Neat.

Students for Scarves and Charm // 24.11.09
This week Students for Scarves and Charm brings you a mix of love songs from the classic to the quirky but never the cloying (we hope!).
Our unsigned act this week is the delightful Wisdom Tooth, who blends the simple twee pop and naive sweetness of vintage K Records bands with the lyrical astuteness and sophistication of Hello Saferide and Mirah. You can hear more from her at: www.myspace.com/okwisdomtooth. We're sure you'll be as besotted with her as we are after a few listens.
Also, since we forgot to give you the link last week (negligent), you can hear more from our first unsigned act, the mysterious and beautifully dreamy Summer Camp at: www.myspace.com/morganwaves.

feature album: efterklang - performing parades
Hello again,
Today is looking to be an absolute cracking episode and I'm very excited to play some of these tunes for you. The feature album of this week will be Danish band Efterklang's Performing Parades which is now out on the band's own label, Rumraket (also available through Leaf). As the name suggests, the album is a live performance of their excellent album 'Parades' accompanied by the Danish National Chamber Orchestra.
I was lucky enough to see Efterklang play at Oran Mor late last month and I can safely say it was one of the best gigs I've ever seen, so this episode is not to be missed. Amongst Efterklang listen out for some other sublime and soothing aural treats.

there'll be some post-club night related blethers and tunes (thanks to anyone who came along to nice n sleazys on saturday night by the way). there'll also be a catch up on some recent gigs as well as the usual look at the week's forthcoming attractions. and my excitement for all tomorrow's parties is now approaching record levels, so i'll be staring the build up to that little delight as well.

Subcity Presents... // 21.11.09
As you lot probably already know, The Count and Sinden headlined Death Disco in The Arches on Saturday night. If you didn't manage to get a ticket, or are just such a die-hard fan that you'd jump at the chance to hear them again, you won't believe what we've got in store for you.
The duo agreed to come into Subcity to start the party early with a pre-club warm up on Saturday evening live on air. We invited some of you lot to come up and chill in the Green Room while they're on air, and turned the place into a packed-out sweatbox for the show --it was a legendary night which will definitely be going down in Subcity history.
Have a look at Subcity's flickr page for some photos of those idiots who made it down.

This week an intriguing subplot has emerged...what exactly is the intention of the narcotic ninjas of the breakfast variety??They have been treated with kindness and love, but are the breakfast ninjas embroiled in an evil plot involving tea and sausage rolls?That remains to be seen, but it is certainly a necessity to watch this space...hopefully on our brand spanking new webcam...

This show we focus more on instrumental stuff from post-rock/ post-rock related artists (Mogwai, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Fuck Buttons) but also play some experimental hip-hop from the man in the metal mask and the hip-hop artist most white people stereotypically listen to. A couple of our favourite tracks of the year are also thrown into the mix- it's all in an early morning's work.

We have music from local wonderful acts Over The Wall, Iona Bain and Washington Irving, whose recent live set for Subcity Sessions can be found here.
Our weekly portion of classic poetry comes from Lord Buckley, and, in homage to the biopic Bright Star, just released in cinemas, Rob indulges his obsession with Keats by reading the titular poem. We round things off with a short story by Miranda July, read beautifully by Ruth Cockshott.

goys, teen angst and prophets
Once again the Shrapnel goys schlep their dybbuk like golems to the subcity sudio to offer up their weekly cinematic kibitz. Expect glitches, schlock and meshuga from your three favourite schmucks.
The Coen brothers are back, and this time they’re serious…well, kind of. A Serious Man sees the Coens continue their great run of form, following the masterful No Country and the under rated Burn After Reading, with their most personal film to date, a Job-like tale of suffering set in 60s Minnesota. Also suffering is Shrapnel’s chief putz, Graham. This week he has bravely endured nauseating dialogue, body issues and the deafening screams of Rpat worshiping tweens to bring you coverage of the event that is Twilight: New Moon. From the ridiculous to the sublime, we discuss Jacques Audiard’s Au Prophet, one of the highlights from a programme of French films showing at the GFT this month.
Plus, we reach the half way point of our hugely popular countdown to the greatest films of the decade. Catwomen, anyone?
These are the piercing sound fragments of Screen Shrapnel, prepare to be underwhelmed.
Screen Shrapnel are also available for Bar Mitzvahs

They Took Our Jobs!!! // 20.11.09
If you liked the last episode here's a little treat for you all.
As I said, electroclash.pl released quite a few compilations and mixtapes presenting Polish electronica / electroclash artists and bands. Simply, go to http://www.electroclash.pl and choose what interests you most from 'Download' section. There are 5 'Pink Kong' compilations, 9 'Pinktapes' and quite a few promos and DJ sets. So if you're into some deep bass, kitschy keyboards or deadpan vocals sung with mechanical manner - Suck it and see! You won't regret it.

Mapping Terra Incognita // 19.11.09
With winter slowly but surely tightening her grip on our fair city, rid yourself of its cold shackles and inject some up-tempo rhythms and sunny soul into your lives!
Starting with some African stalwarts such as Seun Kuti & Oumou Sagare, jumping over to Columbia for some Caribbean flavour, and travelling up the Atlantic to explore some New York gems.
Second half of the show concentrates on the art of the remix, the coveted intertextual adaptation of the music world. Featuring remixes by the likes of Henrik Schwarz, Martyn, 16-bit & Calibre, Graham sifts through and mixes together just some of his favourite remixes of the past year.

instru-mental ii - sat 21st nov 2009 - 12-2 pm
Hey there folks,
This week's show is back at the old regular time of 12-2 PM.
I'll be playing a selection of tunes without (many) lyrics; starting out with some 1950s and 1960s 'novelty' classics and then concentrating on the more funky, soulful side of things. Expect to hear from the likes of The Shadows, Lord Rockingham's XI, The Dave Pike Set, The Buena Vistas, The Above Average Black Band, Peter King, The Meters, Ennio Morricone and loads more.
The Spotlight is, for no particular reason, on French 'Library' funk this week. Library (or Production) Music is the name given to the music owned by production music libraries and licensed to customers for use in film, television, radio and other media. Although this definition includes music of all imagineable genres, the name has been taken up by music-heads to refer to a style of 1960s/70s, 'soundtracky' instrumental music, produced by a legion of relatively anonymous, but none-the-less massively talented session musicians and writers. I'll be playing a few tracks in that general style that I reckon are great. And that are from France.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of tracks called, 'Words'. (Am I a genius or what?)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IasCZL072fQ
1. Missing Persons - Words
Lady Gaga's mom? Or just a severely wacky 80s pop combo?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaEWlYHrF6w
2. Doves - Words
In my opinion, a classic. But it ain't up to me is it...?

When the government, any government for that matter, is open to the idea of intergalactic communication but still won't let Black people vote, you've got problems. In all probability, Earth would have tried to make Mars our bitch. I think if at the time there might have been a Thomas Jefferson of Martian slaves all he would have been interested in is where upon their hard carapace and multi-tongued bodies could he stick his junk into:

keith vaz: games should have health warnings
Debate is Free is on the cutting edge as you all know, and this week was no different. In light of the controversy at the release of the new game Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 last week, we brought you two exclusive interviews. We spoke to MP Keith Vaz a long time opponent of violent videogames and CEO Dr Richard Wilson of the UK game industry body TIGA. We asked Keith shouldn't the parents be responsible? And we put it to Dr Wilson do videogames have to blame themselves for their image problem?
Vaz had this to offer: If you look to the packaging of an 18-rated videogame, it's [the size of] a tiny 10p coin. What it should be is the same as cigarettes - it should be splashed across the front: 'This has the potential to damage your health' - and that is not happening."
And Dr Wilson called for the government to act to save the videogame industry in the UK before its too late.
Start up the debate here on the shows blog or email debate@subcity.org

bibio - the apple and the tooth
Hello there!
Today we're featuring one of Warp Records latest releases, Bibio's 'The Apple and the Tooth'. This is the third for Bibio for 2009 and is mainly consisted of outtakes and remixes from his 'Ambivalence Avenue' LP - also released on Warp.
Anyway, it's an awesome album, combining atmosphere with excellent hip hoppy style beats in a seriously uplifting (and/or melancholy depending on your mood). Definitely a show to check out.

broken britain, corrupted youths and haunted souls
Cinema got dark this week. First up, Harry Brown, a Tory-blue tinted vision of 21st century London, where nihilistic teens terrorise residents of a dilapidated council estate. Only Old Testament-style fire and brimstone can cleanse this modern day Sodom and Gomorrah, apparently; step up Michael Caine as the titular gun-tooting pensioner to blow the hoodies’ bloody heads off. Similar neighborhood disturbances abound in a monochrome turn-of-the-19th century Germany in Palme d’Or winning The White Ribbon. But this is a Michael Haneke film; there are no easy answers to be found in this director’s twisted cinematic worlds. There are, however, in Cold Soul, a Kaufman-lite universe where damaged souls are removed as easily as genital warts and traded like Panini stickers. (We didn’t even get a chance to see Armageddon in world demolition expert Roland Emmerich’s 2012)
Who better to lead you through this cradle of filth than three men who make Larry David look like Claudia Winkleman: Nicholas Green, Jamie Dunn, and a very tired, very grumpy, (and very late) Graham Fulton. Individually they are cinephilic curmudgeons. But together they are the golden triumvirate that is, Screen Shrapnel.
Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed.

henry rollins interview
Yeah, you read right. Here's what he has to say about punk rock in the modern world and just why Black Flag were so special:
I think those days were different than what's happening now as things were a bit more uncharted. There were a lot of rough areas out there where now things are an eight lane highway by comparison. I think Black Flag had at least one ingredient they only made one of and that's Greg Ginn, that's the big deal with that band.

the future
Live From Las Vegas // 13.11.09
Have you ever wondered what your future holds for you? Well, WONDER NO LONGER! Presented here for the first time ever are the foretellings of that revered prophet, radio funster Allan P. Jossstone:
'When the changing of the calendar,
Ushers in a new decade,
And the year 2010 is upon us,
The great hog Brown shall lose his glass eye,
And a pillow-faced Etonian called David Cameron,
Shall have some success at the ballot box,
Although I'll be voting for one of those joke parties,
Because I have no respect for the democratic process.'
'When the number twenty,
Is put before the number ten,
And the ceremony of innocence is drown-ed,
Some other events will happen in the world,
Bringing forth the great wrath of the Mock the Week team,
Particularly Frankie Boyle,
Who will probably be releasing a new DVD,
In time for next Christmas.'
'Whatever you have to add together,
To get the number that is next year,
By which I mean, the number 2010,
But I don't mean the number, I mean the year,
A great cloud of rain shall pass over Glasgow,
And drizzle on the heads,
Of whoever is out walking that day,
Unless they carry umbrellas.'
'You know how, right, next year is 2010,
Right?
Well a lot of people,
Might think it's still 2009,
If they don't buy a new calendar,
That reminds me of a funny story, actually,
Well, it's not so much funny,
As painfully embarrassing (I accidentally had sex with my brother).'

first show
So I've done the first show, and after an obscene amount of fighting with the equipment I think I might have just about got the hang of it. Hopefully next week's show will be more of the same, but with less fannying about with faders and mixers and everything else, and possibly a co-host. We shall see.

Mapping Terra Incognita // 12.11.09
With the body clock slowly but surely realising that Wednesday evening requires a later shut down than usual, show II was slightly less delerious and slightly more organised.
Starring subcity exclusives of the new Four Tet track (and news of his up and coming 1st album in 5 years) as well as the Subcity exclusive of the new Joy Orbison. Does it get any better?
Well apparently so.....with a supporting cast including the likes of Jahbitat, Jam Da Silva, K'naan, Floating Points, Calibre & Chapelier Fou; Travelling from Paris to Venezuela, down to Brazil, across to Senegal, up to Belfast and beyond.... Mapping Terra Incognita provides all you need to know about the current global sound. Tune in and turn it up. Feel the pulse of Mapping Terra Incognita.

news bomb: you gotta shoot 'em in the head!
Thanks to Kerry who made an appearance on the show and for reminding me how much of a super dork I am. Here are the news links for the episode of Get Back To 8-bit on 12/11/09:
I'll bet this is what your mum wanted to play after your dad took her to see Logan's Run and she got all horned up seeing Michael York in a silk shirt. The 70s were weird, dude:

SPECIAL DOUBLE 1970s GAME TRAVESTY BONUS: Did anyone at Mego seriously not get what was being said in this commercial? The whole premise is just like one enormous wink at the audience:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW8LPgv4NK0
Contrary to what Kerry may have originally thought, the US army does not condone Panda murder. They do however create robot planes that feel ennui from the daily grind of human grinding:
That's weird because sometimes I feel like my clock is judging me and my toaster is a speaking in tongues:

Do regular Japanese vending machines only operate on the condition that you battle a tentacle monster violating some nubile co-ed before you can eat your bag of dried squid eyes? What other nation of Earth would so deviously place a challenge between yourself and cake-laden euphoria?

tonight at 9pm.......
We'll be mainly be talking mince and playing some tunes.
However, we do have some exclusive tracks to play from Kelpe. He's got an album out at the moment called Cambio Wechsel and he has sent some exclusive live tracks to us. Catch some this week and I will play some more later in the year. His album is out now on DC Recordings.
There'll be some other tunes as well. I have a couple of 80s Edits to play and other stuff too. Not 100% sure what Sally will be playing, but expect it to be rough and tough.

my name is justin bailey! videogame music week 2.
Hey there my bit-heads! On this week's show, inappropriate gaming, suicidal military automatons, coffee tables watching your dull-ass lifestyle and the Japanese making you fight for your right to dessert. All this news and a playlist comprising part two of Get Back To 8-bit's fortnight of chipbeat and videogame music. Joining me in the studio will be young Kerry, who knows nothing of the geek lifestyle and is in attendance as a control to gauge just how worthless this information I spew at you week after week is to those in the real world. I do believe Lizanne, Allan and Jamie are hard at work on completing Ep. One of StoneDEAD, hence their absence from this week's episode which they seemed to be taking up comfortable residence within, but fear not listener as I doubt we've seen the last of them by far.
Press Start to begin play!

born to runner-up
This week: the first of four year-/decade-ending specials cements 2009's growing reputation as a cracking year for music by looking at some of the albums that didn't make it into the LOTD top ten of the year (to be announced next week), and discovering that they still contain terrific work by The Phantom Band, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, We Were Promised Jetpacks, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, God Help The Girl and De Rosa.
As for the other three year/decade-ending specials, the plan is:
November 21st: Top Ten albums of 2009
November 28th: Top Ten albums of the 2000s
December 5th: Post-match analysis of the decade's music and movies with any willing parties (anyone who wants to get on board with that, get in touch)
And finish up for the year on December 12th with a Christmas special. Stay tuned, an' that.

flowers of scotland - sat 14th nov 2009 - 1-2 pm
Hey folks,
After a brief hiatus, Journeys returns to continue the 2009/10 season - at the all-new show time of 1-2 PM.
This week's show is a celebration of the greatest little nation on Earth, Scotland!
I'll be playing a wee selection of tunes from the likes of Alex Harvey, Marmalade, Orange Juice, Stealer's Wheel, The Poets and however many more I can squeeze in to one hour.
The Spotlight this week is on one of my favourite bands of all time; The Beta Band. In an all too short career, the Beta Band released just 3 seminal EPs and 3 full-length albums (as well as a handful of singles). I'll be playing a small selection of tracks by them that I like a lot.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between what must be a couple of the best known Scottish pop songs ever:
http://www.myvideo.at/watch/1145137
1. The Bluebells - Young At Heart
Originally written for and recorded by Bananarama, this much amended version was twice a hit for The Bluebells; first in 1984 and then again in 1993 (when it was No. 1 for 4 weeks), after featuring in a Volkswagen ad. The latter success inspiring violinist Bobby Valentino (the session violinist on the track) to sue for joint authorship.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM0sTNtWDiI&feature=fvst
2. The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)
A song that must have formed the finale to a million drunken nights around the world, and which has also charted twice. First on original release in 1988 and again, when an alternative version featuring Peter Kay (as Brian Potter) and Matt Lucas (as Andy Pipkin) was released for Comic Relief, in 2007 (it was No.1 for 3 weeks - although I'm not sure anyone pays much attention to the charts anymore?). I am going to see them live on Friday the 13th.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

escape from gainesville... (rock city)
This week, join Test Card and Snake Plissken as we guide you through the rusted seas of discarded PBR cans and the burnt-out shell of a downtown Holiday Inn.
Coming in the wake of recent beard-punk-flannel-sunburn-beer-tapsaff-sweat-basement-cacophonic-wet dream-smorgasbord-extravaganza THE FEST, Test Card brings you the various Florida sounds (focusing on the Orlando and Gainesville scenes) that gave birth to the label in charge of all the madness.
Highlights include someone requesting something and it getting played... Whaaaaaaat?

jamie hillis on cooperative behaviour in humans
This Wednesday Jamie Hillis of Glasgow University's psychology department will be in the studio with me.
I will speak to him about evolutionary approaches towards explaining co-operation in humans. Thus it has been suggested that we owe much of our altruistic and co-operative behaviour to humans' warmongering past. Tune in for details!
Unfortunately Indra is in Latvia at the moment, so she will not be attending this show. But Jamie will be live in the studio and you can send in any questions during the show.
Headlights, every Wednesday 10-11am, or whenever you want on subcity.org

a box of 200 45s and he picks a scratched record
I'm still carting around the records I picked out to play at a gig a few weeks ago. I taped the gig but have still to edit it. But I thought there were some good enough tunes to make up a couple of shows. So this one I flipped a few of the 45s and played the B sides. I don't think I've played the B side of Can i get a Witness for years and after to listening to it it'll be some time and a new needle before I play it again. However the quality osf soul contained within the grooves of most of the records I played in this episode speak or sing for themselves. You can Judge for yourselves by listening.

heartbreak (dj set) @ rpz - 12th nov
Thurs 12th Nov - Italodisco heroes HEARTBREAK hit the RPZ for a zuper-hott dj set.
Purveyors of a very particular brand of, shall we say, 'tres emotional' 80's euro pop, Heartbreak have become the leading live performers in the worldwide Italo-disco renaissance. From relatively humble beginnings in London, their sound and tales of their melodramatic live shows, have drawn the attention of the like of The Presets, Neon Neon, Block Party and La Roux.
Now finding success across the globe through tours with The Presets and Cut Copy, Heartbreak are now joining the Modular Records stable of talen. Consequently they make a perfect choice for RPZ guests, as for many years we have both championed the now sound Wizards of Oz - Presets, Midnight Juggernauts, Bang Gang DJs - as well as having made 80's digital pop and italo part of our sound from the clubs beginings over 8 years ago.
RPZ are super excited to welcome Hearbreak's keyboard wizard Ali Renault for this very special set - guaranteed free of the usual big-room fidget/bassline promo MP3's that clog every guest dj playlist of the moment. Instead Ali promises a dazzling mix of electro, italo pop, seminal house and throbbing euro disco.
myspace.com/heartbreak1 www.lexrecords.com
RPZ - making laser beams in your dreams. Every Week, right up the arty!
The Vic Bar, Glasgow School of Art 168 Renfrew Street Art students £1. Others £3/£4* (*inc entry to Mixed Bizness) 11pm till 3am.

Benzo and Nav Are Dead, Long live Benzo and Nav // 08.11.09
Benzo & Nav keep it real and make some demonic-sounding* chat about Nav's eccentric dressing habits. The X-Factor and Stevie Wonder's take on alcohol abuse/driving is discussed, and Benzo laughs at some jokes that Nav makes, as well as at the sound of his own voice. It's a pretty crackin' way to spend an hour, that's for sure!

The Breakfast Show // 09.11.09
Good morning to all our dedicated listeners and to all those Monday morning first-timers...where on earth have you been?!?!
Mel and Nicki B have brought the Breakfast Show to new heights and have some lovely, brand-spanking and shiny new producers to boot! Either we're doing something right or we're being reigned in...tis Monday morning carnage at its best with our usual spectacular features: Guess The Year, 80s vs. 90s with an alternative twist, and Nicki's Quiz to pit Callum and Heather, and occasionally Callum's dad from afar, against one another. It remains to be seen whether Mel will remember to adorn Callum's dad with the prized banana and whether Nicki will allow this to happen...
...evidently both will be embroiled in the Brown vs. Tomato Sauce debate while churning out some majorly good tunes in between!

tarantism 2
Nathan's back in action this week. He's returned from London in one piece, and will be joining Marco in the show. This week's show will be plucking us straight out of Optimo at the SubClub, so be prepared for some weird music, and even weirder chat.
Since this is our first show together, we thought it'd be a good idea to go back to our roots, and play the music that first got us interested in the wide variety of electronic music that now makes up the vast majority of our collection.

exam stress remedy!
So, for Glasgow Uni students, exam timetables are out, and we're beginning to feel the pressure. The weather is changing, it's getting cold. So what better way to shrug off that exam stress and warm up than listen to the soothing sounds of this week's feature album, Air's 'Love 2'.
This is an amazing album of which I'll be playing three songs off amongst other pretty gems that will, at least for the hour of tempertendency, help you forget the troubles and the cold.

the men who stare at fox
How the years fly by. It seems like only yesterday that a nineteen-year-old Jamie was bringing in the millennium in Georges Square and a fourteen-year-old, shell suit clad Graham was down the park quaffing cheap cider and terrorizing old-folk, but ten years later providence has brought these cineastes together to reveal their favourite films of the decade, beginning with the finest efforts from 2000 and 2001. The Oscar indorsed movies of these years were, respectively, overblown sword-and-sandals romp Gladiator (Ridly “not-made-a-great-film-since-Blade-Runner” Scott) and asinine sucrose-slop A Beautiful Mind (Ron “not-made-a-decent-film-since-Parenthood” Howard). But, as all film fans know, the Academy Awards are sycophantic horseshit; here at Screen Shrapnel is where the real film discoveries are.
Also on this week’s show: the Shrapnel boys discuss the vulpine charms of Megan Fox in Diablo Cody’s sophomore writing effort, Jennifer’s Body; we debate the virtues of the Nick Hornby scripted An Education; and we lament the travesty that is Ewan McGregor’s attempt at an American accent in The Men Who Stare at Goats.
Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed

Live From Las Vegas // 06.11.09
My alarm clock pierces through the crack in my dream and lets the dim light of day pour in, and almost instantly I'm immersed in it. I find my limbs and leave my bed and quickly forget the small world of freedom I live in during the dark hours of night. Slowly moving by body out of arbitrary towards and into the bathroom I find myself confronted with my reflection.
A pale and gaunt face stares back at me with what seems to be contempt in his eyes. This is me. This is me with my glutinous nose, snake lipped mouth and dark pitted eyes where all love fell out of me a thousand tears ago. Every misshapen feature, every line and every blemish is there as a marker on my face. Each one only occurred after my life distorted me into this figure. Now my face acts as a constant reminder to me of a villainous life I'd rather forget.
The face never breaks it's damning gaze. I stare deep back at him for fear of backing down and I think 'is this me?'. How could it be? What I was looking at was just light being reflected off the glass. How could this be me? How could this trick of the light, this optical illusion be me? I feel don't I, or at least I think I do. I have thoughts and opinions inside me that no one could ever know or understand. This bloated blob of self deprecating flesh I carry around can't just be me. I dream don't I?
But then I realise I can't remember what I dreamt, nor any dreams before that. I get dressed. I go to work. Whats my business? - POLITICS.

shut up and eat your prog
Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 05.11.09
Ok, so i've negelected my show news a little. It happens. What didn't happen was our proposed radio play last week, what can I say, we're overly ambitious sometimes.
This week we had Shut Up and Eat Your Prog. Surprisingly, none of the songs we're over half an hour in length, though we certainly didn't manage to play as many as usual. Nor were we drunk this week. I wonder if you can tell the difference.
So there's some Jethro Tull on there, some Rush, Pink Floyd, The Who, and best of all, Stonehenge by Spinal Tap, which frankly is the best song of the bunch by miles!!!
So listen, enjoy, and prepare for some surprises in coming weeks as we're not going to be constrained by the theme of Thursday gigs at Pivo Pivo due to changes to bookings.

This week, I will be highlighting songs by black artists that were covered by white singers; covers by Pat Boone and by the Crew Cuts in particular. While black artists often saw their songs (often referred to as 'race music') climb up the R&B charts, they struggled to reach the mainstream audience because of a reluctancy to accept black artists. Consequently, records by artists such as The Chords and Little Richard were often outsold by (some say inferior; the debate is ongoing) cover versions. Tune in as I play all original tracks. Not a cover version in sight!

keep yourself warm
This week: in a bid to combat the realisation that Halloween and Bonfire Night are over and there's still eight weeks of sucky weather till Christmas, LOTD proffers a selection of feel-good material. None of yer tooth-rotting Hallmark-sentiment pish, though - instead, a schizophrenic back'n'forth between material bound to get even the whitest of white boys up and bouncin' from Jay-Z and Ol' Dirty Bastard, and songs that understand how sometimes the best consolation comes from just knowing that other people are somehow surviving too; songs like those found on this week's #1 Record, Richard and Linda Thompson's "I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight". Bridging the gap between the two is the Sufjan Stevens/Gift Of Gab mash-up the world's been waiting for. For real.

relocation relocation
Tonight's show is going to be a treat... Andrew survived the wedding in England and has so far had this week off work, expect him to be energised. I'm in the process of moving house and am exhausted, expect mumbling. It's a wild juxtaposition of moods which can either provide a streamlined performance as we compliment each other and glide along in harmony, or turn into a car crash of bickering like an old married couple on a coach tour. Which will it be?? PLACE YOUR BETS NOW!

THIS WEEK: NEW BATMAN VILLAINS, THE YEAR 2012, ARM WRESTLING DINOSAURS!
Attention bit-heads,
In the aftermath of the great ASCII Apocalypse, Get Back To 8-bit is taking up the torch and doing what the title suggests by going fully retro with a two-week session of 8-bit chipbeat and videogame themes. This week will be the chipbeat, with some added chat by up to three extra players who are coming back into the studio to make amends to me for their sexist dances featured last week. Don't miss out, be sure to listen in tomorrow or download the show later. Wrong milk-fed mouthbreathers might refer to this event as "Large", we prefer to say that it is "stuffed with RAM".
SOMEONE SET US UP THE BOMB!

ewo on friday and special guest on saturday!
Hello good people of the internets,
One Louder are guests djs at Glasgow's best (in our eyes) 60s club EYES WIDE OPEN on this Friday (6th). The club is located in Blackfriars, 36 Bell St, kicks off at 10pm until late and there is even an amazing band on, The See See!
It will only set you back £5 or £4 if you're a student (that's value!), and we promise to make you dance.
In other news, we will be joined in the studio on Saturday by Liam Revenge of The Hyperjax fame, who will be playing some tunes for you and talk to us about his band and his new Manchester-based clubnight, Back from the Grave.
That's One Louder on Saturday, 5-6pm!

self-employed graduates // hectic halloween
This week the News Empire team takes a look at life after graduation for two self-employed Glasgow Uni alums and the scenes from a busy City Centre costume shop on the day before Halloween.
Headlines All of the breaking international, national and local news.
Read by Louise Pollock and Benzo Harris.
Self-Employed Graduates Stuart and Jon are both Glasgow Uni graduates who have bucked the trend of finding employment with a company, opting to start their own business instead. Stuart, a photographer, and Jon, a custom stereo appliance craftsman, talk about the benefits of a degree as well as the stresses and rewards of being self-employed.
Reporting by Benzo Harris.
A Hectic Halloween The setting: Sauchiehall Street. The scene: a costume shop packed to the gills. The time? The day before Halloween! Emotions range from confidence to desperation and bewilderment to bemusement as the store sells out each day by four and there is a one in one out policy at the door.
Reporting by Alison Burns and Benzo Harris.

schedule change!
Dance Tonight, Revolution Tomorrow! // 04.11.09
Hello all,
Our slot has now moved to Midnight on Tuesdays, to those who are interested in tuning in live. Other changes afoot come in the form of a strict hour slot, which means we'll probably have to shut up a bit or economise with a policy of shorter tracks, I don't know.In fact I sometimes know so little about what we're doing I don't even turn up to the radio show.
I have however been gracefully informed that this weeks theme is one for the ladies, birds, wastegash etc etc. Bands preferably with female vocals but I reckon a couple with girl members of another category might sneak in, either way sounds like a great excuse to blast in some more Broken Oath to me, that I can promise you. And I am reliable.
Anyway aye, listen in for more of the same excellent fare we have come to be known for + Birds.
Best Regards,
A.

not one for the faint hearted
So the grand Halloween special initially planned did not come to fruition. Why? Well a late night Halloween party the night/morning before put paid to the guests we had planned. Luckily (perhaps not) your 3 favourite reviewers ignored their bodies initial reaction to too much drink and too little sleep, and in true zombie style shuffled their way wearily into the famous Subcity studio.
And what a show it was.......with initial plans out of the window due to the lack of guests; the current cinema releases took a back seat and the show took on a more shall we say, fluid structure than usual. We discussed the re-issue of An American Werewolf in London, touched on Rob Zombie's latest: Halloween II, and Nick and Jamie clashed yet again over low-budget French horror film The Inside.
Plus, Nick and Jamie went head to head on the scaled down Halloween quiz, Jamie decided to enlighten us with his sordid stories from the night before, and there were strange noises a plenty as Graham got a little carried away with the sound effects he obtained especially for the show.
It's another fun-filled edition of Subcity's #1 film show. Have a listen, you'll only be slightly disappointed.
*As we were slightly late, when you listen again, fast forward to 13 minutes in for the show to start*

back from the dead
On the Seventh Day, the Co-operative was reborn...
Yes, we have relocated to Sunday mornings. This propitious day heralds the return of your favourite host Sean, stealing through a curtain of fog and questionable taste. Those who conjectured that his unexplained absence told of tragedy, languor or foul play can now be assured that, on this tranquil morning after Halloween, he is fully restored. Imogen, unfortunately, failed to reincarnate.
From now until Christmas we offer you a cornucopia of musical delights. Al ushers in November with a suspiciously French mix, and, oh! what joys will reward the loyal listener in the weeks to come. We hope finally to launch our numbers playlist and, for those who manage to cling on as we hurl headlong into winter, a Yuletide spectacular is being tailored, trimmed and fine-tuned...

on a break...
Hey folks,
Sorry for not letting you know in advance, but there was no show this week and there will be none next week either.
This is due to a shake up at Subcity that has seen a whole load of new shows get added (hurray!) and my Saturday 12-2 slot disappear (boo!).
I am currently locked in a series of sensitive, high-level negotiations with the Subcity controllers and hope to return on Saturday the 14th November 1-2 PM...
I'll let you know! :)
In the meantime, you can be listening to any Journeys that you may have unaccountably missed:

watercolour challenge dave!
Ghosts in the Machine // 03.11.09
This week on 'Challenge Dave', Luke Healey, contemporary artist, has challeneged Dave, contemporary artist, to an art-based challenge in no way contemporary.
That's right, this week the Hosts in the machine will be reprising long-gone daytime show Watercolour Challenge. Healey has waxed soluble about Dave's inability to 'keep within the lines.'
Dave will be given only ten minutes to paint, by numbers, in watercolour, a classic bowl of fruit, without straying outside of the lines.
Can he do it? He says so.
Posted at 23:01, 29th October 2009
our tuesday slot
Contrary to our announcement on last week's show, it appears Ghosts in the Machine will, for the time being, remain at it's 11:00-12:00 slot on Tuesdays.
Rest assured, if our slot changes, you'll be the first to know!
Posted at 22:46, 29th October 2009
turns out it's man
This week: a change of time from 10am to 9am only means a head start on the day's misanthropy, as the inevitable concession to Halloween turns its gaze inward to decidedly more tangible malevolence than shirtless werewolves and sparkly vampires.
Expect stories of murder and mayhem from Nina Simone and Sons And Daughters; twitchy paranoia from Dr. Dre and Love; the co-mingling of sex and death from seemingly everyone; and the reduction of the body to nothing but a bag of bones in this week's #1 Record, Tom Waits' classic "Bone Machine".
As an added bonus, due to circumstances beyond his control, Chris may be hosting this week whilst dressed as Shaun. As in, "of the Dead". So, y'know, there's that.

halloween
I'm sure everyone's Saturday is already filled to the brim with plans of shenanigans in funny clothes, but for anyone still with a bit of free time this Friday, October 30th, you could always stroll along to the Elvis dance. Put on by Glasgow's Elvis fan club, known as the Elvis Touch, this Friday is obviously the Halloween dance. And contrary to popular belief, you will find very few Elvis costumes. Come along to the upstairs function room at the Junction Bar and enjoy Elvis from 8:00pm-1:00am. Doors close at 11:00pm, so be sure to get in on time. Hope to see you there!

get up and dance
Roots, Rock, Reggae // 02.11.09
The show's going well. You've all got the idea of the kind of music you'll hear. So I think it's time to start making it more interesting, and I've decided to start adding a bit of a theme to each episode. I'll start with something nice and simple: loud, fast, and fun. Expect to hear plenty of upbeat songs and very little talking from me. After all, the less I talk, the more time there is to enjoy the music. If you don't find yourself getting up to dance at least once during this episode, I'll consider it a failure. So please, enjoy yourselves and get up and dance!

Oh, and some White Zombie.

irregular episodes
Due to clashes with the slot No Pity For The Masses is currently allocated to and other commitments of mine there wasn't a show last week and there probably won't be one this week either.
However watch this space - hopefully this will change and regular weekly episodes will be the norm!

show iii
Right, a bit of a mess at the beginning. Sorry about that.
Making up for it straight away however, with Don Caballero's 'Mmmmm Acting, I Love Me Some Good Acting' from their excellent (obviously) World Class Listening Problem LP from 2006. Everyting they've done is pretty much perfect, so there's no real need to start with that particular record if you don't feel like it.
'The Message' (not that one) by Lyon's Ned next. I know very little about these guys I'm afraid. I picked up the LP at a Nuts and Seeds show at the 13th Note a couple of years ago when my band at the time had the honour of supporting them.
Some awkward silence follows, due largely to my amateurism (it won't happen again), before Australia's Ricaine blast us back to where we belong with 'Tact vs. Deceit' from their The Clarity of Distance album. My copy is the French re-issue on Ruminance (2006) but you should know that it originally came out in Australia on Rubber Records, back in 1997.
Gorgeous Iranian new-wave electro-pop from 1984 by Kullish Vahared now, on Japan's Crammed Discs. There'd be no reason not to think that this is a new release. But it's not, it's 25 years old. Wow. T.V.O.D by The Normal now, with an even more impressive vintage- 1978. The first release on Mute records, the label founded by The Normal himself- Daniel Miller. This is really the only record The Normal made. The b-side is as good, 'Warm Leatherette'.
Constellation's HangedUp now, with a typically Constellation-y doom epic. Lots of big strings and dispodant sounding drums made with more than a little help from labelmates GY!BE. From their self-titled 2000 LP.
Einsturzende Neubauten have certainly had some ups and downs in their career, but the last few albums have show them on startling form. This is the title track from their Alles Wieder Offen LP of 2007. Very much recommended, especially if their mid-nineties output let you down.
Another title track, 'Pink' by Boris. Nothing much needs to be said about Boris. Japan, Southern Lord, 決別, 俺を捨てたところ, etc etc.
Keeping it Southern Lord, 'Woe is the Contagion' by Twilight. I still haven't made my mind up about this album from 2005. Southern Lord were going through some changes at the time, and this album has always thrown me a little. Still, it's something you should hear if you haven't.
Everybody knows Sonic Youth's cover of 'Hotwire My Heart', so this is the original, by San Francisco's Crime. This was the first US punk record to come out on an independent label- origianlly issued in 1976 on Crime Records. For obvious reasons, this is the Swami reissue I'm playing.
A tenuous link, but another NYC cover version related tune follows. Loop, from London, doing Suicide's Rocket USA. On Reactor, from 1988 and one of the true great bands of all time. Expect more Loop in the coming weeks.
Death metal grindcore the way on they can, Ipswich's Extreme Noise Terror bring us towards a close. Not just the KLF's Brit Awards backing band... If you haven't heard this album (Being and Nothing) do yourself a favour, and track it down.
I don't know where to begin with Crass. Does anything really need to be said that hasn't already? Sheep Farming In The Falklands. 1982.

Hi there,
My first show as presenter this is bound to be entertaining listening. The sweet sounds of Norwegian duo, Kings of Convenience's brand new Long Player 'Declaration of Dependence' will be our feature album for this week.

the three stooges
They say “three is the magic number”, and who are we at Screen Shrapnel to argue with this arbitrary statement. Therefore, Subcity’s number one (and only) film review show has squeezed a triumvirate of critics into the studio for this week’s show: Graham Fulton, Jamie Dunn and Nick Green.
Fueled on a heady cocktail of sleep depravation, gut-rotting energy drink and testosterone, topics of discussion include Meg Ryan nudity, Question Time and dolphin rape. We also manage to do some reviewing: Wes Anderson’s foray into animation, Fantastic Mr. Fox, kicks off the show; Jane Campion’s Bright Star, a measured study of romance between John Keats and his muse Fanny Brawn, splits the Shrapnel team; and we look at eco-doc-cum-heist-movie, The Cove. To round off the show, Graham, Jamie and Nick choose their favourite documentaries.
Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed

Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 29.10.09
Ok, so if you read the last news item, you'll remember me mentioning we may be trying something a bit different this week. I'm not going into too much detail, all i can say is there probably won't be much music, if there is it will be more instrumental or mood setting. I also have about 4 days to put together what we need for our idea, then it will require some kind of rehearsal. It could be we've been too ambitious, and it won't come off, but i work best under pressure, and give that day is also my birthday, it would be a great start to the day.
To give you a clue, there may be zombies loose at Glasgow University, and to find out how to survive their attack, you'll have to tune into Shut Up and Eat Your Horror Part II. Meugghhh ha ha ha ha ha ha ...

Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 22.10.09
Yes that's right, this was only the first installment in a 2 parter, and twas a pleasant enough show. I started with saying that Nick was dead and would have to be contacted by seance (he was out getting us coffees, if we talk too much gibberish it's the caffeine talking), and from there we meandered through a "Facts massacre" about ghosts and ghouls, halloween costume ideas and music from the likes of the damned, zombina and the skeletones and even a little Billie Holliday. Spooky, ghoulish and demented, but enough about Nicks mum ...

Well, the final for the Professionals Masterchef is on and in true Subcity fashion I always miss out on something decent on the tv when I am presenting the show. At least there is the BBC iPlayer these days, so its not all that bad. I remember for years I used to miss ER because of the show. Oh well. Anyway, tonight Sally will be playing tunes from 1979 to 2009 in honour of her friend Claire's birthday. I haven't decided on what to play tonight. I have a few exclusives to drop. Expect some cheese but most importantly, expect a great show. Tune in from 9pm tonight until 10pm.

free to experiment - part 1
Does Not Affect Play // 20.10.09
This week Does Not Affect Play begins a three (or should that be free?) part journey into the realms of freely distributed music. Over the course of the next three episodes I'll be highlighting numerous sources of amazing free music, discussing the reasons behind free distribution, and playing a whole host of songs you can download legally for free. The playlist for each episode will contain links to download all the songs from their original source.
Part 1 will highlight a number of free music sources that boast tens of thousands of interesting tracks, such as the superb Free Music Archive. Part 2 will focus on record labels that choose to distribute their music for free; and part 3 will be discussing the DIY approach with artists that distribute music freely themselves. If you have any interesting music or opinions you'd like to contribute to the coming shows then email jannik@subcity.org with your info.
So that's the scoop - tune in to part 1 for Swedish swing-jazz-death-metal, novelty beatboxing, Gamelan music and a "circus punk marching band".

number two.
Starting with Isotope 217, Chicago post-something jazz and featuring most of Tortoise. Seeing as Sub City broadcasts from the John McEntire building I think this is wholly appropriate. Even though John McEntire is one of few Tortoise members/associates not actually playing in Isotope.
Moving on to Frog Pocket now, aka John Charles Wilson from Ayr. An older record of his- from 2003- on the recently defunct Benbecula label. There are still copies of the CD version of this EP on Piccadilly, which won't be around for long.
Keeping it local, with sometimes amazing/sometimes rubbish Ganger, sadly also defunct themselves but having left a fantastic legacy of experimental post-rock.
'IV', track four of five from the Guapo album 'Black Oni' on Mike Patton's Ipecac label. Sometimes hard to believe they're from London, and not Portland. A record that in fact comes wrapped in several feet of black plastic and makes for quite a difficult time unwrapping it. Definitely some of the hardest working men in prog-business, their blog is always worth a read: http://guaponews.blogspot.com/
'Enhanced Amalgamated Computer Experience' by Satanstornade, on ATP records. This is from the Sonic Youth-curated ATP album, and I haven't seen the track anywhere else. You should also know that this duo is in fact Russell Haswell of Gescom, and Masami 'Merzbow' Akita.
I don't think there's too much needs to be said about Desalvo. If you don't have their Rock Action album 'Mood Poisoner'you should probably buy it now. Or steal it, I'm sure the band won't care.
I'm surprised it took this long to get to Swans. Not the last time they'll be played either. Michael Gira's finest years- this track, 'Butcher' comes from the 1984 LP Cop. Most Swans stuff got reissued a couple of years ago on CD with extra stuff, so you should be able to track it down easily enough.
Fuzz-drenched psych-rock mayhem from Fireball next. All-girl five-piece from New York here, and if you weren't turning it up and jumping around then you're probably not paying attention. This is a masterpiece!
More obscurity now, with a Big Black track- 'Burning Indian Wife'- that was only available on a 7" called 'Happiness is Dry Pants' which came free with Chemical Imbalance fanzine, in 1987. This track was a 'reject' from the Songs About Fucking recording, at Southern Studios.
Japanese punk next. Stupid Babies Go Mad covering Boris for a Black Flag tribute split 10" on Diwphalanx, of course! SBGM haven't exactly had much press, and all the writing is in Japanese so I can't tell you very much more!
'Syncopated Pandemonium' by Striborg is from another split record, this time on Southern Lord (of course), with Scurshahor. Striborg doing what they do, and hopefully a track you haven't heard before.
One of the true greats next, Ian Dominick Fernow, better know as Prurient. Power electronics from 2005 on Load Records. If you don't know Prurient(!) then investigate. There's a vast amount of back catalogue to relish.

love, test card & frank turner
Frank Turner.
Best get used to hearing that name.
Formerly of much-loved British post-hardcore outfit Million Dead, over the past few years Frank Turner has been busy making a considerable name for himself bringing an accessible blend of folk/punk to the fringes of the mainstream.
Frank's infectiously successful albums have seen him making various major radio playlists, signing to Epitaph, joining the Revival Tour and playing strings of sold out dates both in the UK and internationally. All well and good, but last week saw Frank's meteroic rise to fame reach its zenith- an interview with Test Card.
We caught up with Frank at the Glasgow date of said sold-out tour and discussed: success, the (ahem) "scene", politics (ahem), Spandau Ballet and a bunch of stuff in between...
Catch the interview on Test Card this week!

build your own
Build Your Own...Canoe! Nah, Im not going back down that path. The things unemployment leave you to ponder about. I definitely dodged a bullet on that one though. My 'Blue Peter' days led me to believe that such a thing was achievable but lets face it if it doesn't involve a toilet roll tube, recycled bottle tops or pipe cleaners then its going to take a lot of time and patience, never mind artistic vision. However I am going to try and construct a kaleidoscope as the show goes along! Oh yes. But thats just a little side project, the stuff that really matters is still going to be there - Love A Cover, Monday Midday Madness Cure, Golden Oldies and, and! A bag full of exclusives and a whole load of musical facts coming your way. Tune in Monday - noon till 1pm! Your friend, the girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

music review: q-tip - kamaal the abstract
This is a review of an album you almost never got to hear.
In 2001, riding off the success of the 1999 single "Vibrant Thing" and subsequent album Amplified, former A Tribe Called Quest member Q-Tip began work on his followup, a jazz-influenced album in the style of Miles Davis.
Initially Reid supported the album, but upon hearing the work, believed it lacked commercial appeal and droped the release. In 2006, Q-Tip began negotiations with Arista to release control of the album to him. Meanwhile, he began work on another album, The Renaissance, eventually released on Universal Motown in 2008. Due to The Renaissance's success, Q-Tip finally decided to release the long-delayed, now fully remixed and remastered Kamaal the Abstract on Battery Records. So does this album live up to the hype?
In a word, yes.The Album is a piece of art.Q-Tip
From the opening chord of the first track, "Feelin'," Q-Tip announces that Kamaal the Abstract will not be a typical hip hop album. Scatting over a scratchy guitar riff and funky organ solo, the song melds rock, jazz, and rap into an irresistible mix. In a further nod to musical originality, one of the backup singers on the track is none other than Aisha Morris, daughter of legend Stevie Wonder. Feedback of various sorts accents Q-Tip's vocals — yes, he sings on multiple tracks, and does so extremely well.
Many of Kamaal the Abstract's tracks feature extended jazz solos, such as the flute breaks on "Do You Dig U" and keyboard runs on "A Million Times." Another standout track, "Heels" recalls Prince's funkiest songs, yet transitions into jazzy chord changes in the chorus. The driving guitar and bass relentlessly thump as the piano softens the tone in the chorus. In addition, the song showcases Q-Tip's considerable MC skills and songwriting talent — only he could use a shoe metaphor to comment on a lady's character. "Abstractionisms" lives up to its title, with Q-Tip spitting his particular brand of funky yet smart hip-hop poetry from his tribe days.
"Even If It Is So" also brings on the funk, but the complicated bass line (which Q-Tip mimics in his rapid fire rapping style) and trumpet solo reveals more jazz leanings. His scatting emphasizes the thumping bass, which defies the listener to sit still while hearing this track. "Make It Work" even provides commentary on Kamaal the Abstract's theme, that he's "introducing to you a brand new sound," which is certainly the case with this ambitious album.
Only "Caring" is the somewhat weak track on the album, including surprisingly clichéd lyrics and limited vocal ability on Q-Tip's part. His voice better suits up tempo funk and rock tracks.
It should be noted that Kamaal the Abstract is not the first rap work to flirt with jazz. The early 90s spawned two such fusions: "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)" by Us3, and "Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)" by Digable Planets. Q-Tip builds on these initial experiments and forges a new, sophisticated blend of hip hop, rock, funk, and jazz. While Kamaal the Abstract may have seemed avant-garde back in 2001, it deserves more appreciation in today's music landscape. Run, don't walk to pick up Q-Tip's latest masterpiece.It shall only thrive in value as time goes by.

brand new u.k. electronic madness!!
Codeine Drums salutes two meta-influences of U.K electronic music - Mary Anne Hobbes and Hyperdub records.
With Hobbes' release of yet another seminal compilation titled 'Wild Angels' as a physical marker of her influence through BBC Radio 1's Experimental Show, and Glasgow's own Kode9 in his imprint Hyperdub's brand new '5: 5 Years of Hyperdub' compilation, British electronic music is yet again shown to be the craziest and most inventive in the world right now.
Tune in for everything from Grime overlord Terror Danjah to Warp darling Hudson Mohawke.

The time has come to reveal our super exciting top secret band. We are very pleased to announce we have Paper Planes playing tonight (18th Oct). The band are three quarters Scottish and one quarter American, their influences range from Orange Juice and Joy Division to Velvet Underground and Brian Jonestown Massacre. The resulting sound is post punk perfection! To sample the band live you can catch them at King Tut's on 11th of November. Having just released their single 'Doris Day' to rave reviews - which you can check out at http://www.myspace.com/glasgowpaperplanes - we are very excited to have them in the studio. So make sure you tune in tonight from 6-8 at www.subcity.org!!!

when man is ill, the dead shall be on the radio
Like Christmas, Halloween seems to come earlier each year, and with two weeks to go till All Saints’ Eve, cinema screens around town are echoing with the demented screams of zombies, vampires and ghosts of movies past.
But it’s not just onscreen that the dead are walking the Earth: this week Nick shuffled into the Subcity studio looking like an extra from Zombie Flesh Eaters, complete with blood-shot eyes, laboured movement and oodles of mucus. Despite the dreaded man-flu, however, he struggled on through.
This week’s releases include the bizarre (Thirst), the mysterious (Triangle), the hilarious (Zombieland) and the disheveled (The Imaginarium of Doctor Pernassus). We also discuss our ignorant socio-political theories surrounding the living-dead and choose our favourite vampire pictures.
These are the piercing sound fragments of screen shrapnel. Prepare to be underwhelmed.

the elephant six never forgets.
Have you ever had a monumentally awesome idea which brought something incredible into the world? Four childhood friends from Denver Colorado did when they decided that rather than limit themselves to forming one band together, they'd form different bands and work together, creating the (sometimes label, sometimes clubhouse) Elephant Six Collective. Rob Schneider (The Apples in Stereo), Bill Doss, Will Hart (The Olivia Tremor Control) and Jeff Magnum (Neutral Milk Hotel) kept in touch and while some of their musical projects ended, the collective remains and brought in new musical talent.
This week's Get Back To 8-bit salutes all great ideas for humanity and will be playing some choice tracks from several Elephant Six bands. Be prepared for some psych-folk and wave-based machinations suitable for bean bag dwellers and strange cake eaters. If you can only remember the 60s through outside stimulus and regression therapy, you may want to give this one a go. Expect news and good times along with it, so tune in Thursday at 14:00 or download at your convenience!

So after a rollercoaster start to the new season with guests galore from the Glasgow underground and beyond, tonight it was a less frantic affair. Join Derek and Allan as they relax, loosen their ties and quite frankly bring you some of the best shouty, punky, noisy loveliness there is with of course just a smidgeon or two of gentle mellowness.
It's like a pleasingly warm bath with loads of aromatic bubbles. Allow us to shift over, there's plenty room here for everybody......

crime
Live From Las Vegas // 16.10.09
Hi guys, Gregg here.
Crime has existed for over twenty years. Many people enjoy crime, from the humble thief to the noble serial killer. Crime is everywhere, everyone loves it, but is there enough of it? In my analysis, 32,648.3 tribal fusion. Is our attraction towards crime genetically inbuilt, or part of our sociological upbringing? Ocean’s 11 would suggest it was our upbringing. Ocean’s 12 would suggest it was psychological. And Ocean’s 13 was enjoyable, but unfocused, according to Paul Ross in the News of the World.
Good criming guys!

Ceylan Projects (http://www.ceylanprojects.org) have a new exhibition Magic & Happiness, a group show curated around an essay by Giorgio Agamben.
Whatever we can achieve through merit and effort, cannot make us truly happy. <...> What a disaster if a woman loved you because you deserved it! <...> [T]here is only one way of achieving happiness on this earth: to believe in the divine and not to aspire to reach it (there is an ironic variation of this in a conversation between Franz Kafka and Gustav Janouch, when Kafka affirms that there is plenty of hope - but not for us). That apparently ascetic thesis becomes intelligible only if we understand the meaning of this "not for us". It means not that happiness is reserved only for others (happiness is, precisely, for us) but that it awaits us only at the point where it was not destined for us. That is: happiness can be ours only through magic. - Giorgio Agamben, Magic and Happiness
Famous for his original readings and interpretation of texts, Giorgio Agamben is a contemporary Italian philosopher. His work, be it political theory or his early essays on art, stems from an interest in the relationship between the notions of work and happiness. Magic and Happiness, from which this exhibition takes its name and vocation, is an essay that brings Agamben's thought to its very roots and now more than ever appears as a strikingly accurate criticism of the modern condition. In a moment where currencies like merit and effort are devalued precisely because they no longer stand as guarantee for the Western ideal of happiness, we are once again to reconsider what happiness is and how to achieve it.
Magic & Happiness group show showcases new work by seven artists who have challenged mainstream perception of happiness through different mediums including sculpture, installation, painting and sound. The work is as naive as it is cynical expressing both fascination and distrust towards the decadence of contemporary culture.

everything gonna be alright - 24/10/09 - 12-2 pm
Hey folks,
This week's show is a delve into the Blues.
I'll be playing some Delta Blues, some Chicago Blues, some Piedmont (East Coast) Blues, some Blues-Rock, some Gospel Blues, some British Blues and erm... some other types of Blues that you can find on Wikipedia (like what I just done)...
Expect to hear from the likes of Muddy Waters, Big Bill Broonzy, Cream, Lightnin' Hopkins, Leadbelly, Josh White, Howlin' Wolf, The Yardbirds and many more!
The Spotlight this week is on one of the earliest and certainly one of the most influential and legendary Blues players of all time; Robert Johnson. The story goes that he was advised to go to the crossroads with his guitar, where it was tuned, played and given back to him by Satan himself. In exchange for his mortal soul of course. From then on he could play, write and sing the Blues better than anyone ever had before.
The truth is that not a whole lot is really known about Robert Johnson. What is known is based mainly on recollections from his surviving contemporaries, garnered during interviews that took place during the Blues revival of the 1960s. His recording career lasted just two years: 1936-1937, and he died in 1938 at the age of just 27.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of tracks that have nothing to do with the Blues (just to break things up):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQLWF_ItzYs
1. Neil Diamond - Forever In Blue Jeans
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98P-gu_vMRc
2. ELO - Mr Blue Sky

Anyway, I guess we'll be playing the usual music. Expect to hear Husky Rescue, Paul White, Mark Pritchard, Superwolf and Rico. Yes, Sally has recovered enough from being ill to turn up!

Lou was noteworthy to all geeks of the 80s as being the first actor to portray Nintendo's flagship character Mario in a vocal manner, in the tv series "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show", waaaaay before the now accepted voice of Mario, Charles Martinet, came along. The show might have been more on the side of ass than awesome, but for a lot of kids, this was the voice.

return of the living dead
Rock n Roll Meltdown // 15.10.09
ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN finally returns to Subcity after a tumultuous summer of pestilence and death, this Thursday 5-7pm!
Join Pete and his non-existent guests for an all-new, disease-ridden selection of properly rock n' roll sounds and maybe some features, chat and genuine freakouts live on air.
Maybe you think you could dig it?
Well then, why not request a quality tune (preferably of a rock, roll, punk, garage, sleaze, glam, metal, surf or psychedelic nature) or send a message to us at studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' with some form of disturbed comment to '07766 40 41 42'?
Should prove entertaining.

myths and legends
Two thousand years ago when Jar Jar Tolkein invented fantasy I doubt she had intended this... This edition of 'live from las Vegas' is brought to you live from inside the creative imagination. If you do not have one then it is recommended you see the film 'willow' first and while listening to the show just imagine Warick David and the other ones running around, round and round, in their funny little way - so majestic. Regardless, if you've ever been read a bedtime story, if you've ever seen a children’s movie from the eighties if you've ever visited a place that exists only in dreams, prepare yourself for the vile return as Mark and Allan twist and turn the things of - MYTHS AND LEGENDS

we interview shami chakrabarti,director of liberty
In the first show of December we will be interviewing Shami Chakrabarti, director of Liberty.
Liberty's motto is: Protecting civil liberties, promoting human rights. They campaign against torture, for equality, young peoples rights, privacy, free speech and for the protection of the Human Rights Act/
Back in December 2005, the BBC Radio 4's Today programme ran a poll of listeners to establish "who runs Britain". The programme placed Shami Chakrabarti on the shortlist of ten people who may run Britain.
Ms Chakrabarti was also named one of the most powerful people in the UK and just missed out on Channel 4's "Most Inspiring Political Figure" award in 2006.
Shami Chakrabarti also frequently wipes the floor with anyone foolhardy enough to disagree with her on the BBC's flagship poltical programme: Question Time.
To see her in action click on the following links:

competition?
Roots, Rock, Reggae // 12.10.09
There's a proverbial 'war of shout-outs' going on between a few of the listeners. It seems as if some people are on a quest to see how many times they can get their name mentioned on the show. But, of course, nothing comes cheaply. Feel like joining in and amassing your own count of shout-outs? In keeping with the theme of the show, the requirement for getting a mention is to get in touch with me (whether it be during the show by emailing studio@subcity.org or texting the word "Subcity" and your message to 07766 40 41 42, or email me directly at rootsrockreggae2009@hotmail.co.uk) and request one of your favourite tracks. Tune in this week to hear what requests people have come up with this time, and I look forward to getting a few new ones in the future.

Yes, that's right Joe and Paul have taken over the soul boat. Along with the usual shiny disks, phil collins and mystery bags, we've scoured the vaults and will be starting off with a selection of some of the better soul, funk, disco and hiphop, at least till those three records run out.

carlgate
Another week, another half arsed attempt at a film review show from Screen Shrapnel. What do Screen Shrapnel sound like, you ask? Imagine, if you will, a Derek & Clive record with more film chat, less swearing, that’s not very funny, and you’re half way there.
This week, in between elocution lessons and casual racism, we discuss the latest film from the near infallible animation studio Pixar, muse on Shane Meadow’s semi-improvised mocumentary, Le Donk & Sorzayzee, and try not to give away the plot of Peter Strickland’s Transylvania set revenge film, Katalin Varga.
Also on this week’s show: the nation’s favourite high-brow discussion feature, The Cultural Highlight of the Week, is back by popular demand, along with a brand new theme tune; anglo-scots tensions reach fever pitch over the pronunciation of the name Carl; and Screen Shrapnel set the Women’s Movement back decades with our ignorant feminist reading of Katalin Varga.
Go on, have a listen. You’ll only be slightly disappointed.

Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 15.10.09
Never ones to shy away from a bad pun, this weeks show is titled "Shut Up and Eat Your Pianist", and if you have no plans, or even if you do have plans, you should change them and come along to Pivo Pivo on Thursday 15th October for the gig of the same name. Featuring that night will be ...
The Dirty Demographic - www.myspace.com/thedirtydemographic Jonathan Carr - www.myspace.com/jonathan.carr Penny Black - www.myspace.com/therealpennyblack AcidDICA - www.myspace.com/aciddica
All use piano prominently in their performances, but their styles are very different.
For the show itself we'll be looking at the history of piano based music from classical, to rock and roll, via dance music, and up to performers utilising it now in an interesting way. Or we'll do what we usually do and put together a playlist in a panic on the day, then if it goes ok pretend that was our intention all along. This is the cutting edge of broadcasting folks.
So the show is at 3pm on Thursday 15th October, be sure to listen. And you'd be silly not to come along on Thursday night at 8pm for the gig. It's only 3 quid in, and you'll get to meet me n Nick too, cos you know you want to having heard our sexy radio voices ...

casiokids competition
Pop Goes The Revolution // 09.10.09
Pop Goes The Revolution was officially relaunched on Wednesday night (only three weeks after we came back to air) and now we're ready to really raise the roof.
This week we're branching out into new technologies, as George attempts to play something off vinyl. We have no idea how this will go. As of yet he can't work out how to connect it up to a USB port, but we're hopeful we'll get there.
However, for those of you wondering why such a risk would be taken - it is all in an attempt to offer a delicious prize to a lucky listener more advanced in the ways of the world than ourselves.
That lovely man, Josh, from Subcity Spin has given us a lovely 7 inch vinyl copy of a brand new release by Norwegian electro kings Casiokids. Tune into the show live or on listen again to find out how you could win a copy of the new single Finn Bikkjen as well as getting to hear the single and another exclusive track by Casiokids.
We've been relaunched - we're really here now - so be prepared.

out of africa part deux - sat 10th oct '09 12-2 pm
Hey folks,
For this week's show I will be doing my best to represent an entire continent; Africa (had you guessed?).
I'll be playing a selection of tunes from Nigeria, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Ethiopia, Ghana, Cameroon and some other countries. All of them African.
I'll be 'Spotlighting' Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Songwriter, singer, band-leader, multi-instrumentalist, Afrobeat pioneer, political activist, thorn in the side of Nigerian and other African dictatorships and damn funky dude. He combined Yoruba and other African rhythms with American funk, soul and jazz (but mostly funk), to create a whole new thing; Afrobeat. In a shocking break with convention, I'll be playing a few favourite tracks.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of tracks from UK bands, that rather tangentially have 'Afrika' in their titles...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLBRhX8G22M
1. Leftfield ft. Afrika Bambaataa - Afrika Shox
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRC7zKfKomc
2. The Chemical Brothers - It Began In Afrika
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

first show.
The first show and a gentle start, comparitively, with Pluramon's own remix of his 'Self' track, from the Bit Sand Riders compilation on Germany's ever-reliable Mille Plateaux label.
The shimmering Neu-isms of Brighton's (dearly departed) Electrelane take us into Southern Lord's immense bass-and-drums-and-volume duo Om, with 'Unified Knowledge of the Godhead' from their Pilgrimage LP.
Two Jesus Lizard-y tracks from Glasgow's Grozny follow 'Blockbuster', by the Jesus Lizard themselves. Taken from 1989's fantastic Pure album, of course.
OOIOO next, with an explosive remix from fellow Boredoms member Yamantaka Eye. Not, as I mentioned, a gig-only 12", but limited to 1000 and mostly sold at gigs. Not managing to hold off any longer, Whitehouse are on next with 'Princess Disease' from the stand-out (from the later period) Cruise album.
A massive favourite of mine by Alex Newport's Fudge Tunnel now, from the Hate Songs In E Minor album. While I'll try to avoid playing too many tracks from the same album, you can expect to hear more from this record over the weeks.
The first black metal on The Process comes in the form of Watain, and if you even have a passing interest in that track you should absolutely investigate Casus Luciferi, the band's second LP featuring the track.
'Chain Balled' by the hardest working man in noise-business, Aaron Dilloway, slows things down now. Despite Wolf Eyes losing their way, Dilloway can certainly still impress on his own. Leicester's Prolapse turn it up again with the frankly fantastic 'Testation', the b-side to 1998's 'Autocade' 7". Good response to this, so do keep me informed how much you're enjoying the music, or not.

show news and a good lifestyle tip!
Attention lifeforms,
Many thanks for all of you who have been listening to the show, I've just completed nine more themed playlists which will be launching over the next few weeks (look out for Japanarama! and an Aliens/Monsters show this month) and don't forget that today's show is Random Acts of Violence. Hope you tune in this afternoon.
As this month features Halloween, I imagine many of you will be dressing as our now lost gloved-one, MJ. But to complete that look, you have to know how to moonwalk right (and on general principle, you need to know how to moonwalk right, especially if you want to WOW potential employers). But don't fret, I have the means to teach you all you need to know if you can't pull off some sweet moves.
Step One!
Keep the left leg bent and heel planted. Put your weight on that leg.
Step Two!
Slide your right leg backward by pulling at the hips, keeping that knee locked and that foot flat on the ground. Swing your left arm forward at the same time.
Step THE THIRD!
When your right leg is behind you, shift your weight onto it while bending the right knee and lifting the right heel. Straighten your left leg, then pull it backward at the hip and swing your right arm forward.
Step Four!
Repeat from the start. Grab crotch (optional) and exclaim "YOU'VE BEEN STRUCK BY A SMOOTH CRIMINAL! WOOO!" (not optional).

Unfortunately Sally is still unwell, but she should be back next week. However, I will be playing some good records and I might even have a couple of guests in the studio with me. I'll be playing some tracks from Architeq, Mike Slott as well as Floating Points. Tune in to find out who tonight's special guest presenters are, if they turn up!

fitba am gets its big break
The lads from Fitba AM went down to Kelvin Hall again today and managed to meet a few of the stars. With a media pass they gained access to the post-match press conference involving the successful John Higgins who clinched a place in the quarter finals after seeing off the world number one Ronnie O'Sullivan. Higgins claimed that at 4-3 down he didn't think he had a chance of winning the game. When O'Sullivan missed a golden opportunity on an easy red, Higgins managed to level the match and then made a break of 94 to seal the deciding frame.
Fitba AM have managed to interview three top 16 ranked players over the past few days including the young Northern Irish star Mark Allen who is keen to see youngsters get involved in the sport. Allen believes the student ticket initiative which offers tickets at £5 is a great chance for young people to find a way into the sport.
Tune in on Sunday for the full interviews.

This week: hey, remember that Gram Parsons special we did last week? We're doing a similar thing this week, but replacing Gram Parsons with naive-punk O.G. Jonathan Richman, in honour of his gig at the Oran Mor later on Saturday night. #1 Record is the first Modern Lovers album, there's tracks from acts he's gone on to influence, from Talking Heads to M.I.A., and there'll be chat about just how naive such a blatant Velvet Underground fanboy can ever really be.

dj foliage (sub sessions) & matthewonemoretune
Subcity Presents... // 05.10.09
Borrowing "Sub" for your music brand can't be a bad thing. DJ Foliage is MatthewOneMoreTune's first Subcity presents guest who started Sub-Sessions in Tain and around the North only months ago and is rapidly building a reputation on the Breaks circuit as a trusted pair of hands as well as a burgeoning party promoter. We welcome Foliage to the Subcity world who's told us is that there'll be stuff from labels such as southern fried, XL and vacation records. Matthew warms up the decks first playing a trademark anything goes vinyl set to contrast with Foliage's bass onslaught. Foliage plays One More Tune @ The Glasgow School of Art on November 14th with Elliot Castro and Define Define.

start off slow
Roots, Rock, Reggae // 05.10.09
It was a long and tiring weekend for me (as is usually the case), but fear not, you can rest assured knowing that an hour of good music will always be waiting for you on Monday at 10:00am. This week, there's a more relaxed tone to the show as I try to give you an easy start to the week, as opposed to the usual musical slap in the face I've been giving you week in, week out. Enjoy.
Posted at 11:35, 5th October 2009
tango tree!
I got stuck in a Tango Tree. No, this isn't the start to a weird song. I was having a look at the playlist for the upcoming show and randomly started thinking about a Tango Tree...its a mythical tree that stems from all kinds of musical roots and branches out to 'Love A Cover', 'Monday Midday Madness Cure' and of course blossoms from our 'Golden Oldies' (Did I really just say that?). Tune in Noon till 1pm Today and find out more. Your friend, the girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

another successful elvis night
Just a quick update for anyone else interested in these Elvis-themed nights. Saturday the 3rd of October was a hugely successful night for the Edinburgh Elvis fan club. Malcolm King (hailed as Scotland's best Elvis tribute act) put on a great performance for everyone which was followed by 3 hours of non-stop dancing (it was down to me to play the music, so hopefully I was doing something right!). So if anyone fancies giving one of these dances a try, the next one in Glasgow is the Halloween dance on Friday, the 30th of October in the upstairs function room of the Junction Bar in the city centre. And the next dance being put on by the Edinburgh Elvis fan club is on Saturday, the 14th of November at the Royal Air Force Club on London Road. It's something different, but just as fun as any night out, if not more. Hope to see some of you there.

shut up and eat your frontman
Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 08.10.09
This week, for both radio show and gig at Pivo Pivo we're celebrating bands with compelling frontmen, a bit of showmanship, a bit of "what the hell was that"? At Pivo Pivo on Thursday from 8pm we have Zener Diode, Mickey 9's and Foxgang. Zener Diode are some kind of mad german electro pop experiment gone wrong. Mickey 9's have funk and soul, and do a kick ass daft punk cover. Foxgang are one of the best bands in Glasgow. On the show we'll have songs by ... ooh, all sorts of bands with good frontmen. And the usual nonsense banter from myself and Nick, possibly done in the style of 2 northern men commentating on some kind of farming contest (stay tuned for when this might actually happen, we're evolving the idea of the show cos frankly the more documentary style is boring us! Informative, yes, allowing us to get into characters and talk gibberish, no!) So for all you listeners we must have accumulated thus far, expect some changes at SHUT UP HQ. That is all.
3pm on Thursday, listen!!!

mel and nicki b: the w factor
The Breakfast Show // 05.10.09
The lines are closed, the votes are in, the judges have decided...
Indeed! Welcome to Mel and Nicki B's wondrous Breakfast Show, where we will be unleashing THE W FACTOR!!! Oh yes, not content with Simon Cowell dominating the world (at least until Christmas!), Mel and Nicki B have decided to unveil their latest feature with avengance...
THE W FACTOR!!!
We will be undermining The Cowell's talent by presenting to you, our dear listeners, the best of "Woo-ness" in our cheesy classics. For want of a better explanation, Mel and Nicki B will be trawling our CD collection for those epic power ballads and the ones in between that got away, all to bring you (or rather, scathingly attack!) all those singers who can't think of anything else to warble and slot in a "wooooo", "oooooh", "whoaaaaa", yip, you get the picture!
So jump out of bed and into our morning madness as we bring our funky feature, The W Factor to life, with of course, our buzz-cut immaculate and our trousers propping up our pecs Cowell-style!

the sound of music
Welcome again to Subcity’s best (and only) film review show, Screen Shrapnel.
The tenth month of the Gregorian calendar marks the beginnings of a strange limbo in the film world: an unpredictable period between the high-octane blockbusters of the summer months and the award chasing art-house pictures of winter. The cinematic releases of October are the waifs and strays of Hollywood; they are the unlabelable and the unwanted. And it is our job at Screen Shrapnel to let you know which of these mongrels deserve a loving home and which need a lethal injection.
On this week’s show we tell you the truth about chubby little fatman Ricky Gervais’ latest vehicle, The Invention of Lying. We review Pandorum, a deep space dystopia with an aesthetic that’s somewhere betwixt Alien’s Nostromo and a Prince video circa 1985. And, despite Nick’s protestation, we take a look at the remake of Alan Parker’s 1980 crime against fashion, Fame.
Those brave enough to listen will also hear the debut of our new, brilliantly conceived feature called The Cultural Highlight of the Week. You can also savour some a cappella singing from Nick and hear Jamie’s emasculating confessions of cowardice in the face of a couple of Glaswegian Vicky Pollards.
These are the piercing sound fragments of Screen Shrapnel. Prepare to be underwhelmed.

This week we've got fresh faced Floyd coming in to the studio with her ear pleasing mind teasing mashed up mixes which we're sure will have you tapping your toes! Adding a bit of female touch to the show, Floyd's eclectic blend of electro funk is not one to be missed!
We'll also be looking at the literally brand spanking new Dirty Basement remix of "Top Back" by Alias Unknown, a crunk tune turned fidgety bassline monster! Look out for it on Crux Records some time soon, it's a wobbler!

transport
Live From Las Vegas // 02.10.09
This week the theme is transport. Humans have been using transport for hundreds of years, from the earliest prams and buggies, the trams and wheelchairs, all the way to the wheelie bins used to transport the dead. It is said that the early Egyptians used transport. Roads, rails, rivers and toads, it’s not just the nervous that are on the move. Travel and adventure are things that have gripped the human imagination through the ages and have inspired even the most ridiculous of transports (skiing?), sometimes there is a time for travel and sometimes there is a time for a stop- so crawl down, relax and tune in to 'Live from Las Vegas'~ TRANSPORT.

A brilliant live acoustic set from the latest PGTR house band, Skinny Villains, as well as a nice chat with the band and a few songs chosen by the lads themselves.
All this plus the usual Nikki's Nostalgia, A Saving Grace, The Song Battle, and everyone's favourite Nikki's News.

soul l-o-v-e-r sat 3rd oct 2009 12-2 pm
Hey folks,
Due to illness last week and work commitments this week (I will be sunning myself in Loughborough for the end of the week), I haven't had much time to devote to the show!
There will be a show this week though, and I'll be playing a selection of 1960s soul and funk. Expect to hear the likes of Gladys Knight & The Pips, Nina Simone, The Latinaires, Garnett Mimms, Mutt & Jeffo, The Chambers Brothers, Billy Preston and pure hunners mare...
The Spotlight this week is on Lou Courtney. A funky soulster who should be much better known than he is. Can you guess what I will be doing? Yes, I will be playing a few of my favourite tracks of his! Nice.
The Weird But Wonderful vote sees a couple of British soul-boys go head to head:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFXcHD0z3ZY
1. Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl
Probably his most famous song, with millions of airplays registered on US radio, Van Morrison claims that he has never received a penny from it - due to the contract he ill-advisedly signed at the time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PmRNUToamI
2. Joe Cocker - Woman To Woman
The track that Tupac and Dr. Dre turned into 'California Love'. Nuff said.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

shut up and eat your math rock
Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 01.10.09
From Wikipedia - Math rock is a rhythmically complex, guitar-based style of experimental rock music that emerged in the late 1980s. It is characterized by complex, atypical rhythmic structures (including irregular stopping and starting), angular melodies, and dissonant chords.
Math rock shares its place of origin in the late 80s underground music scene of the American Midwest and surroundings with post-rock. Some earlier bands have characteristics of both math rock and post-rock, using instruments for textures rather than melodies and riffs, featuring atypical rhythms and some dissonance. The genres soon diverged: math rock concentrated on angular melodies, atypical time signatures, start-stop rhythms, and dissonance, while staying closer to rock music in sound and instrumentation. Post-rock, on the other hand, concentrated on heavy use of dynamics, creating sound-scapes, and expanded the variety of instruments used, used a jazzier drumming style, and incorporated elements of shoe-gaze music.
There, that's us telt. Now tune into the show at 3pm on Thursday 1st October and come along to the gig at Pivo Pivo featuring Oslow, The Chinaskis and Albino Monk, it's only 3 quid in and math rock-tastic!

numbers, sounds and novelties
Attention!
We are putting together a playlist of songs to do with numbers and we want your suggestions. Songs we have so far include Tea for Two by Doris Day, Three is the Magic Number by Bob Dorough, The Ten Commandments by Prince Buster and Twelve Tribes by 4Hero. We want to fill in the rest of the numbers between 1 and 12, but any songs involving other numbers are welcomed with open arms too. Can you think of any with halves or decimal points? I think Kate Bush did a song about Pi... Anyway, get your thinking caps on and hopefully you'll be hearing something numerically pleasing on the radio soon. You can post ideas on our Facebook group, or you can email us at glasgow.cooperative@gmail.com
This week for The Sound of Sound, Imogen ditched those final heartbreak songs and opted instead for a trio of female bands. David's playlist for this week began with tracks by Glasgow-oriented acts and ended with the wonderful Scott Walker cover of Jacques Brel's Mathilde, with electronic and 8-bit adventures in between. For the fourth instalment of the Co-operative expect some instrumentals and novelties put together by the talented goddess Rosie.

boom-shak-a-lak rudeboy
The Beat Routes second show is a rip-rolling mix through Electro, Breaks, Dubstep and a hefty dose of Drum n' Bass.
Since Stroudy had to return to the valleys of Wales this weeks show is brought to you by the BeatNazi who due to his own ever-increasing stupidity left his Serato control vinyls at home 5 minutes before the beginning of the show. This left the heavy smoker ruined after a desperate run home to make it back in time. The show begins slightly post-schedule and ends similarly but it's all there on the listen again section thanks to some technical wizardry.
Enjoy!

hamster adventure week
This week we took a more serious turn than previous shows. Important discussion was fielded on the issue of lightsabers. Another key issue was exactly what is the face of a man shoving TNT up his bum. We also commented on John Smeatons' attempts at politics, how to propose via penguin and the best weapons available in a library (there's more than books there you know.)One of the biggest stories of the week was at Her Magesty's Pleasure and concerned the incorrect use of anti-bacterial gel. We took a closer look. The three minute rant was brought to you by Ruth, who got to let rip into a wee bit of political scullduggery.
Perhaps more importantly though, after the show "Paper Mache" and "Debate is Free" teamed up to go in quest of a hamster, traversing the lethal GWR and braving PAH to bring him home. We hope said hamster will accept the role of News Empire mascot, and yes, we photocopied his passport.

taps aff: a break from the norm to play d-i-s-c-o
This weeks broadcast is a little out of character for Codeine Drums.
Although Hip Hop is at the heart of what 'Drums is all about, a lot of music both new and old that's been freekin' my ears the past week has been leanin' towards Disco and Electro sounds...
so to celebrate this, Codeine Drums is playing strictly just that for a whole hour. Check out new tracks from Chromeo and Fever Ray, and old Italo Disco classics that make the dancefloor sweat.
"Taps aff", as they say.
much love to the listeners,
C.D.

the lamentable debut of nicholas green esq.
Welcome to another hour of cinematic stream-of-consciousness cum film review show. Graham is off roaming in the gloaming this week, but fear not, stepping into his substantial shoes is Nicholas Green – self confessed misanthrope and mediocre love-maker.
On this week’s show you’ll hear some impersonations that waver between Upton Park and Hillsborough, some libelous claims against Robert Downey Jr.’s manhood and some ill informed film chat.
We open with a review of The Firm, the latest film from geezer, auteur, and ardent Danny Dyer supporter, Nick Love. Joe Wright’s awards chasing syrup bucket, The Soloist, gets chewed over and spat out. And Nick and Jamie reminisce about blood drench warrens, lagomorpha as big as dobermans, lost hedgehogs and iron giants, in our animation feature.
All this, plus a play-list that includes The Smiths, Art Garfunkel and Neil Diamond.
Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed.

Music Always Comes First // 03.10.09
Along with out the usual great playlists Music Always Comes First will have Mcf Artists Blythe and Steph LIVE in the studio. The two girls will be performing 3 acoustic tracks in total. Now the girls are not currently on the MCF website as it will be changing for the end of october and the girls will be added then. Make sure you give us feedback of what you think of the two female editions to the MCF Family. Blythe has already done tracks with Madhat, Blasfima Sinna and in the progress of working on a track with Nity Gritz she is already causing whispers on the scene about her voice. Steph is someone that Jay came across and asked her to send him some tracks. Steph done this and her talent was something that Jay,John and Jinj could not ignore. With a video of her performing Stephs own track Estranged blowing them away , the MCF owners knew that they wanted Steph to be a part of the MCF Family. Watch out for these two young ladies in the future. Feedback is appreciated. www.myspace.com/mcfradio www.bebo.com/mcfradio www.musiccomesfirst.com

Signalling an end to our brief spell of novelty programming DT,RT will be churning out a more laid back mix this week of all things hardcore, metallic and metalgazey (which I have been informed is in fact a real genre.) If you're lucky a couple of the tie ins and euro-tales we left out of our first loosely related Ieper-episode will make a showing, if you're unlucky however the intention is least an excuse for a truly excellent pun. Trust though that it will be VERY GOOD and you will LIKE IT A LOT.

elvis dance in glasgow
Due to an anonymous email from a listener wanting to know how one would dance to an Elvis Presley track, I figured I would post the details of the upcoming Elvis dance in Glasgow. It is put on by Glasgow's Elvis fan club (called the Elvis Touch), and there is a dance on the last Friday of every month in the upstairs function room at the Junction Bar in the city centre. From 8:00pm until late, come along and enjoy some Elvis music with other enthusiasts. The next dance is this Friday, the 25th of September. And, like at all the other dances, I'll be getting up to do the music for an hour or two. Hope to see a lot of you there.

For our animal loving audience and indeed for animal listeners themselves we had a plethora of pet stories this week, from London pets favourite hangouts to Lord Byron's furry friend. Since Nikky has been away in the bigger smoke this week she brings us the best in local London news for one week only while I trawled the interweb looking for important articles that impact on the lives of all students. What I found was mostly rubbish about crop circles and retirees going a bit mental in the States.

the tricky second show
The first FM show! And we made it through unscathed: no swearing, no racism, and no on-air breakdowns. Unfortunately, though, we are still working the mixing desk with all the elegance of a drunken equine. But we’re getting there.
On this weeks show we reminisce about the decade that fashion forgot while discussing 80s set Adventureland, Greg Mottola’s follow-up to the hilarious Superbad. Talking of fashion, we consider the new sub-genre which appears to be the very button of fashion at the moment, the fashion film, which culminates this week with the release of The September Issue. We also discuss Away We Go, the new film from Mr Kate Winslet.
All this, plus we get our first caller, Nick Lindner, which is all the more remarkable given that we are not a call-in show. There is some tension in the studio as Graham takes umbrage with Jamie's surprise choice for most influential film of the decade. And there are some tears as we celebrate the career of the late – and almost great – Patrick Swayze.
Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed

grozny meet diy glasgow in a moment of loveliness!
For tonight's FM special, the She Said team were overwhelmed with guests of a DIY persuasion and were delighted to welcome Duncan from Grozny and Laurie from DIY Glasgow to the show. Not only did we try to establish what makes one of Glasgow's finest most innovative bands tick, we also got an exclusive low down on next week's awesome underground Glasgow festival.
And what's more, we got to play some of the finest, noisiest, punkiest, most tuneful sounds on the raydeeooo!!
Join us in prayer.

september weekend balearic especial!!!
DANCE! DANCE! DANCE!
September Weekend Balearic Especial!!!
Sat 26th Sep 10pm – 3am £8/5 students (£5 passes available at pre-club party - venue tbc)
The Universal Sauchiehall Lane Glasgow G2 4JD 0141 332 8899 http://www.universalbar.co.uk/
DANCE! DANCE! DANCE! present a true Balearic legend:
PHIL MISON (Cantoma/Reverso 68/Frontera) http://www.myspace.com/cantoma
Producer, songwriter, musician and Balearic DJ sound pioneer Phil Mison aka Cantoma has championed the chill-out music genre since its inception in the early-90s, after being inspired by listening to Jose Padilla at the world famous Cafe Del Mar. Mison, who began his storied DJ career at London’s famed Milk Bar in 1991, segued into producing after a decade DJ-ing around the world and touring with bands such as Leftfield. In 1995, he released the first of his Soundcolors compilation, the groundbreaking series that featured electronic music, mixed for mood over the traditional beat match. A Café Del Mar residency and 10 compilations later, Mison has exported this island flavour into crafting an original artist album as Cantoma. Phil is also one of the leading pioneers of the Nu-Disco/Cosmic sound, currently recording as Reverso 68 and Frontera with Pete Herbert. With his Cosmic tinged remix of Luke I Love You, a firm favourite not just at DANCE! DANCE! DANCE! but an almost permanent fixture in the record boxes of DJ’s such as Balearic Mike.
DANCE! DANCE! DANCE! have been big fans of Phil for a long time and are proud to have such an inspirational DJ for our re-launch party. In true Balearic style expect Phil to join the dots between underground Disco, Afro-Beat, early House and the ‘of the moment’ Nu-Disco/Cosmic sound – and all in his signature Slo-Mo style. And as a bonus its Phil’s birthday the weekend he’s here so we’ll be throwing him a bit of a party in sunny Glasgow, so come down and join the celebrations!!!
Viva la Balearica!!!!
Phil will be supported by DANCE! DANCE! DANCE! residents:
Andy Piacentini (Disco not Disco) Derek Smith (Funktifeyeno)
Dance! Dance! Dance! have hooked up with www.purple-radio.co.uk and will be bringing you exclusive mixes and regular shows on this cracking internet radio station.

Nice!!!

so fresh, so clean
This week: a Fresher's Week primer to the house style at LOTD with absolutely nothing to offend OFCOM, plus new tracks from show favourites Yo La Tengo and The Twilight Sad, the west end of Glasgow album ne plus ultra from Belle And Sebastian and a new Thom Yorke track that, in pre-internet days, would only have been heard by about 3000 people worldwide.
Posted at 01:14, 19th September 2009
the comeback - new time, same old tunes
After a Summer's hiatus traveling the globe for the best in charity shop records to give the show a new lease of life, Thin Joe and Fat Paul only managed to buy one record. It's a cracker but won't be enough to fill a show. So we're gonna play an hour of tunes from the vaults.
Expect an hour of music from all corners of the globe and all levels of quality. As always there will be the normal random tunes, shiny disks, Phil Collins, some new treats and the infamous 'surreal' Oxfam Mystery Bag Mega Mix. See you Sunday.

shut up and eat your rave
Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 24.09.09
This weeks show will be a real nostalgia trip for me and anyone who grew up in the 80's when rave was at it's peak, and bands like The Prodigy first entered public consciousness. I'll admit, i've decided on this as a bit of a multi-task as I have to research a 5 year period of music history for my HND Music Business, and i chose Rave. Killing two birds with one stone. So expect a musical journey taking rave from it's underground roots to some of the hideous sights witnessed on mainstream tv and radio as it began to slowly die or at least evolve, and also a little history of the Britain that spawned the phenomenon, and erosions in our civil liberties that raves influence were used to justify. Or i'll just get mad wi it and spin some banging tunes. Whatever.
The question is, what do i do to immerse myself in "rave" culture, obviously "raves" still go on tho not always by that name, and many dj's still play the music (i'm sure if i trawled the subcity shows i'll find some crossover with what someone else is doing ...) My first thought was to try and organise an "illegal rave" which is guess would have to take place no later than wednesday to be relevant to the show. Or, is there something going on this weekend where people will be listening to such "old skool" music and if i were to go to it, would i possibly get stabbed? Oh, the questions. Or, and i hate myself for just thinking of this, should i go to some standard club night, but fully dressed in late 80s raved up gear ie boiler suit, dust mask filled with vix, glow sticks ... again, would i possibly get stabbed if i did this?
If you have any suggestions, or REALLY want me to do one of the following suggestions, then get in touch. And most of all, listen in at 3pm on Thursday 24th September use the listen again function as and when suits you.
Giez it!

shut up and eat your ehhh's
Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 17.09.09
Not sure if this if this is the right place to blog about my first show, but if not, so be it, wouldn't be the first problem i've had with it! First things first, it's a little bizarre to listen back to the show and realise I have what almost amounts to a speech impediment. I sound like a guy with a stutter at the dentists, "say ahh" ... "ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhh". Well, it's actually more like Ehhh but that sounded funnier in my head.
Wasn't Julia Doogans performance brilliant tho? If even one person got to hear that and gets into her music then it was worth it.
I should admit the setlist was pretty much decided on the day, I hope anyone who listened or will listen enjoys it though. Julia said she found the show informative, which is nice! It remains to be seen whether people will be able to cope with my continued guttural pauses to listen the whole way through, or can actually still listen while laughing their asses off. Suffice to say, i'll be working on getting rid of that particular quirk. If all else fails, we'll try aversion therapy, i'll get Nick to smack me with a hammer every time i do it (starting with a small hammer perhaps up to sledgehammer depending on the effectiveness, tho that would probably also make me go AHHHHHH!)
After all that, the gig at night with Emma Curran, Julia Doogan, Gillian Christie and Kat Healy was immense. About 80 people came along, whether any of those people had heard the show or not, we all had a bloody great time! Putting like with like together is definitely the best idea when it comes to the gigs, and in doing so if it exposes me and you to new music, all the better.
Finally, i'd say i've learnt from the experience. Not to leave show preparation to the last minute, not to assume that just because Nick is a qualified engineer that he'd find working the desk easy peasy (tho I was just getting in his way sometimes), to not wear any clothing that will make it obvious i'm a sweaty mess (the studio is a furnace) and finally, I should maybe have listened to some kind of a recording of myself before deciding to host a radio show.
Now tune in next week to hear if i've eliminated my speech impediment. Same bat time, same bat channel.

Subcity Sessions are back!! Tune in Sunday 20th September, from 6pm-8pm, online at www.subcity.org or 106.6 FM.
We are kicking this year off with a couple of fantastic bands. First up we have the French Wives, who can be found at http://www.myspace.com/thefrenchwives. They are a five piece band, who state their influences as Arcade Fire moving through to Radiohead. We are big fans of them here at Subcity, and are very excited about their set. If you are wanting to preview the band, they are playing The Halt bar on 19th September at 8pm, get along as it is sure to be a great night, and will whet your appetite for Sunday.
Our next band are Dundee based Red Scarlet, another brilliant five piece band. Check them out at http://www.myspace.com/redscarletband. Their influences vary from Snow Patrol to Biffy Clyro. As a relatively new band they have spent alot of the summer in Glasgow showcasing their unique sound to approving ears in some of Glasgow's best venues. Catch them at the Classic Grand on 18th September, doors at 7pm.
So make sure you tune in on Sunday 20th September from 6pm, on www.subcity.org or 106.6 FM. You do not want to miss these great bands!!

Roots, Rock, Reggae // 21.09.09
The first episode was a relative success (minus some careless losing track of time), and this week can only get better. Plenty more great songs to be played, plus we settle once and for all an issue that has been bugging me as well as a couple of other presenters.

They Took Our Jobs!!! // 18.09.09
Whoaa, so that was our first episode. A bit messy, as one looks at the playlist (and as one listens to it), however every next episode will be devoted to particular subject, like one artist's works or a particular genre. You will be always informed in advance, what kind of music the episode is dealing with. All in all, if you want to get in touch with They Took Our Jobs!!! throughout the week, just drop an email at: theytookourjobs@windowslive.com We are open to suggestions, questions, criticism and any sort of advice really ;-) So stay with us, next week we shall invade your headphones/loudspeakers with some heavy rocking sounds. Long live Molvania!

scene and not heard
Pop Goes The Revolution // 18.09.09
Pop Goes The Revolution finally returns to the airwaves on 106.6fm and www.subcity.org.
It has been a long and tremendous journey over the last few months, but at last we return.
The bad news is that Nikki will be unable to make the first half of the show. The plus side is that Hannah from Electric Lemonade will be returning to PGTR for Fizzy Pop Goes The Revolution II. Without the help of Nikki you can expect George's cynicism to fully let rip for the first hour until Nikki joins half way through to bring a slightly more joyous edge to the show and force the show to take a more optimistic turn - as we launch a new wave of excellent pop culture highlights to bring to the air.
Expect excellent new tunes from The Skinny Villains, The King Hats, as well as the return of Nikki's News, and the answer to all the important questions in life: why did o2 take over the ABC, what on Earth do Firewater think they're doing, is the September Issue worth watching, and should Nikki have brought that Lumberjack shirt?

Live From Las Vegas // 18.09.09
Viva las vegas, vegas vegas vegas, las las las.
The show this week is brought to you Live from Las Vegas, to honour the incredible title of our show. Subcity Radio has kindly given us a huge grant that we've blown on the craps table, but boy, do we got some stories to tell! No, we don't...sorry. We're just going to play some songs (about gambling) and mumble about a bit.
Critics are already calling this show 'poorly scheduled' and 'awkward smelling'. With more positive feedback like this, we're hoping to take the show to the top. Of something or other.
Tell your friends!
PS if you can think of any songs about gambling, let us know. We won't play them.

slave to the riddim - sat 19/09/09 - 12-2 pm
****SUBCITY RADIO IS ON 106.6 FM IN GLASGOW THIS WEEK UNTIL THE 20TH SEPTEMBER****
Hey folks,
This week I'll be playing a selection of my favourite reggae and dub tracks, in an attempt to string out the Glaswegian summer for just a few more days!
I'll also be taking a look at the Jamaican phenomemon of the 'riddim'.
A 'riddim' is basically the instrumental track taken from a pre-existing song - mainly, but not always limited to, the drum track and bassline - which is then used to create a new version or an entirely new track.
There are a whole host of 'riddims' used in Jamaican music; with favoured riddims being used over and over again as the years roll on.
I'll play some examples of this during the show and will also be focussing on the phenomenon during the Spotlight section. The Spotlight will feature several versions of a 1969 Little Richard song that was covered in a reggae version shortly after its release, and which has reappeared in Jamican music again and again ever since, in various incarnations.
The Weird But Wonderful vote features some white British reggae (or ska if you want to be pedantic):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-uyWAe0NhQ
1. Madness - One Step Beyond
Originally recorded by Prince Buster, Madness stay pretty faithful to the original and cover it with genuine affection - and humour, of course; it being Madness and all that.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVcD1xAMTo8&feature=related
2. The Specials - A Message To You Rudy
Another pretty faithful cover (this time of the Dandy Livingstone original), this is probably my favourite Two Tone track ever.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites // 15.09.09
Do you know the difference between Death Metal and Doom? What separates Grindcore from Hardcore Punk? What the hell do those previous sentences mean?
In this show we aim to answer these questions by squashing as many different genres and sub-genres thereof into one hour.
Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites: public service broadcasting at its most perplexingly brutal.

Many thanks to everyone who tuned in last night! Apologies for the minor gaff early on, I wasn't expecting an Australian I worked with and haven't seen in five months to just pop his head round the door, mouth something incomprehensible at me and run off. If you missed the show and want to listen again, it is available for download now.

The Breakfast Show // 15.09.09
Like the stale Cheerio at the bottom of the box, George and Nikki return for one last spin of the Breakfast Show before handing their 'hard work' for next year's Breakfast Team to continue holding the torch.
Expect more references to the wonders of Wikipedia, more chat about songs from across the ages, and a complete breakdown of Freshers Week from people experiencing it for the fourth year.
So break out the weetabix, fry up the bacon and eggs, pour a glass of OJ, and kick back, and blend yourself into the second day of Freshers Week as George and Nikki remind everyone just what breakfast time radio used to be like, as they Bring Breakfast Back.

tonight's mixtape
For those of you who like your nights long, we'll be taking a celebratory look back at some top Subcity sets from past events.
We'll be playing audio from the Subcity Hi-Fi events back in 2008, as well as the Block Party event from 2007.
Expect a range of dance music, from hip-hop to soul to some severe and heavy dub.
Hopefully this should get your feet tapping in preparation for the Subcity event at the Research Club this Wednesday where you can check out Benny Boom, Killer Kitch, Theez Boyz R Athletes and the Bentinck Sessions.

irrelevant speeches and irreverent comentary
Subcity at The Freshers' Address // 14.09.09
The Freshers' Address is supposed to be a formal introduction to the University for the new students. No one told the union helpers it seems, the event is essentially a series of speeches from people who are only interested in promoting their organisation whilst either getting a cheer or a rise out of the opposition groups.
To match this formal tone, Subcity sent it's most respected voices Shaun fae Solar, The Monolith fae Solar and Jannik Giesekam. They planned to bring some decorum to the proceedings but seeing as they got there late and missed the start, they thought they may as well join in.
Listen back to hear about 2 words of each speech as 3 idiots waffle on over the top...

19th, nice n sleazys, bottle rocket dancing party!
Summer - or the space between endless winters that we like to jokingly refer to as summer - is supposed to have died for another year, yet here I am looking at blues skies and a lovely evening sun. Go figure. It means I’m unusually chipper as I set about planning bottle rocket radio’s return to the subcity web-waves...
The first show’ll be focused on reacquainting last year’s listeners with the format and setting the template for newcomers – some new music/forthcoming releases, some gigging acts visiting the city, and the launch of a new (probably) recurring segment, Turning Japanese (you win a coconut if you guess what sorta music I’ll be playing then… nope, not songs about masturbation, songs from the land of the rising sun!). And as ever there’ll be lots and lots of Jurassic Park. Old dog, old tricks.
but that's not all! i'll undoubtedly be doing a fair bit of blethering about the bottle rocket dancing party from which the radio show originates. See, if you didn't already know, bottle rocket is a club night on the 3rd saturday of every month downstairs in nice n sleazys (sauchiehall street if yer new in town). i personally think it's categorically ace, but i'd urge you to make up your own mind... and conveniently, you can do so this saturday! if there's a better way to top fresher's week (or not-so-freshers week if your a decrepit fogie like me) then i'm the queen of sheba. and i'm totally not.
11:30pm - 3:00am £3 (or nowt if yer already in sleazys by 11:30pm) uber-swell

first impressions: listen again
I must apologize to anyone wanting to listen to the first show again. Due to a little bit of time mismanagement, the episode finished after 10:00am, and thus the end of the show unfortunately gets cut off on the 'listen again' feature. Not to worry, though. There's still an hour of good music there for you, and you can expect a much more well organized show next week. Enjoy the rest of Freshers' Week.

snakes, sarkozy and sheep.
This week we focused mainly on the really big stories rocking the media world. A lengthy debate was held about the benefits of carrier pigeons over broadband internet as well as the effect of a politicians stature on the voting public. Hear all about the tense situation at a Kent primary school where a sheep has been put into protective hiding so he can be sent to slaughter...
The first ever Three Minute Rant of the show was this week dedicated to energy saving lightbulbs, a topic dear to all our hearts. Isn't the world a funny old place.
The first show of it's kind on Subcity, this is Paper Mashe's first audio dip into the world of news. Please listen and enjoy a smug laugh at the glorious British media.

The Mixtape Sessions // 14.09.09
Tonight we offer three specially made mixtapes by some excellent DJs.
All available from the mixtapes section of the forum, these three gems have avoided airplay until now.
Mixtape 1 - Simon Bryan
http://www.subcity.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=10528
Focussing mostly on the more underground side of techno, Simon Bryan delivers a distinctive blend of music. The mixtape starts off with deeper and quite dubby, before gradually developing a more in your face style towards the end.
Mixtape 2 - These Boyz R Athletes
http://www.subcity.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=10342
Specially made for Subcity, this mixtape is an electro marathon of tunes. Expect the second hour of tonight's mixtapes sessions to pick up the tempo and really get you moving. You can catch Theez Boyz R Athletes playing at the Research Club on Wednesday 16th September.
Mixtape 3 - Benny Boom - Bass Go Boom Mixtape
http://www.subcity.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=10668
For the last hour we will bring you the latest mix by Mixed Bizness's Benny Boom. Anyone whose ever seen Benny's effect on the floor at the Art School on a Thursday, or one of his numerous appearences at Subcity events, will know just how good he can be. This mixtape is his latest musical offering, and makes for the perfect musical treat to round off the first Mixtapes Session.
Benny Boom will be playing alongside Theez Boyz R Athletes at the Research Club this Wednesday the 16th. Doors open at 8:30pm and it goes on to 2am. Free with a Freshers Pass, £4 without.
Ben will also be curating and presenting the first Subcity Presents of this broadcasting year. To find out more visit www.subcity.org/shows/subcitypresents

a grime thing
The Dark side Of The Club // 19.09.09
Blupp blupp blupp!
What finer way to relish in the opportunity to broadcast live on British airwaves than to devote your show entirely to arguably one of the most British musical subcultures to emerge since UK Ardcore - GRIME.
On the show I will be playing a time line of Grime, the angrier offshoot of UK Garage which rose to fame from within the depths of East London. Charting the biggest names in the game, from Dizzee, Durrty and Wiley to grime's new breed of younger and younger production wizards.
Exploring the evolution of this musical behemoth,from the early pirate radio sessions right up to the present day expect bass, beats and bars, and some serious lyrical fire to be infiltrating your ends.
I luv u

The Dark side Of The Club // 12.09.09
Brapples........
Due to some top quality foresight and planning I only realized this show had been rescheduled to the current slot, 48hours before it was supposed to air. Three hours later my laptop broke ( we reckon it got scared ). Thus preparation for the show has been minimal (more philip glass than plastikman) if not non existant.
However, disclaimer aside, we do have some Subcity exclusives, dropping Joy Orbison's MASSIVE anthem in the making, Hyp Mngo, released this week on Hot Flush Recordings. Also in the show your lugs will be treated to some future grime from Terror Danjah, Shortstuff's new offering for Ramp and two tracks from the boy wonder formally known as Untold.
Hats on Hoods up

let there be screen shrapnel
Subcity programmers foolishly said, “Let there be Screen Shrapnel”, and there was Screen Shrapnel.
So, the first show is in the can, and what a show it was. With production as graceful as a virgin unhooking his first girlfriend’s bra-strap and with song links as smooth as Robin William’s knuckles, Screen Shrapnel genesis is satisfyingly shambolic. But look beyond our limited DJing abilities and you’ll find some two-carrot nuggets of film criticism.
We discuss Fish Tank, the latest release from late blooming directing talent Andrea Arnold. And we consider Neil Bloomkamp's not too fantastical imaginings of an Earth invaded by some anti-social Aliens in District 9. We also debate the best of the current releases and reveal our favourite British film of the millennium so far.
Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed.

a wilhelm scream wipe their ass with test card
A Wilhelm Scream.
One of the most exciting bands making music and a favourite at Test Card.
Wilhelm comes with a sound that defies conventional ideas of categorisation and a dedicated ethos of innovation that shrugs off any potential complacency that comes with consistently producing some of the best music of the genre... or non-genre.
Test Card was lucky enough to catch up with A Wilhelm Scream at the Glasgow leg of their recent European run- a tour that has seen them playing to crowds at Ieper, Reading and Leeds festivals and sharing stages with acts like The Flatliners, Polar Bear Club, Chuck Ragan, Municipal Waste...
Catch the interview on Test Card's first show of this year's broadcast and hear Brian Robinson (bass) and Mike Supina (guitar) talk: live shows, Nick "The Professor" Angelini, recording, new releases, Paper and Plastick, nerdy Wilhelm trivia and hot sauce.

predictions
With the first show this Sunday, Greg and Richie are proud to present our predictions for this weekend's action. Here are our thoughts on Saturday's games (plus predictions for the season as a whole):
EPL
Blackburn vs Wolves
Greg: I think Wolves will struggle to survive in the premiership and their up and down form so far doesn't do much to prove me wrong. Conversely this Blackburn side has all the hallmarks of a Big Sam team: physical, strong, organised and well-drilled at set-plays. They may only have one point so far, but Allardyce is building a decent mid-table outfit here and one that is more than capable of beating the teams in the bottom half of the table. Prediction: 2-0
Richie: I agree with Greg. Wolves will be missing to many important players and will be blunt in attack while Blackburn have a number of players im midfield such as Dunn and Pedersen who can chip in with goals even if Benni McCarthy misses this one. They also welcome back Diouf, Nelsen and Emerton - all seasoned professionals used to the rigours of Premier League football and they will thwart a Wolves attack without Iwelumo and possibly Ebanks-Blake. Prediction: 2-0
Liverpool vs Burnley
Greg: This is a fixture of stark contrasts: after their best challenge in recent memory Liverpool were widely tipped (myself included) to win the league this year while Burnley, as a small and newly promoted team were tipped for relegation. Liverpool have been very disappointing so far while Burnley have been brilliant and pulled off the first major shock when they beat the champions. Finally Liverpool are in financial turmoil while Burnely are one of the most financially secure teams in the land. However with Gerrard grabbing two for England midweek he may be back to his best after Benitez questioned his form and Liverpool will win this, but maybe not by as much as they would hope. Prediction: 2-1
Richie: Liverpool will be keen to kickstart their league campaign after a few false starts and I think they'll do it after the international break. They will once again struggle without Xabi Alonso (now of Real Madrid) and with Aquilani still not fit but Gerrard has found form and so they should be able to push on and comfortably win. On the other hand Burnley will be travelling to Anfield, renowned for being a tricky place to get anything and I'm sure Owen Coyle won't have planned to pick up many points this weekend. Prediction: 3-0
Man City vs Arsenal
Greg: The team that spends £200m and MIGHT break into the top 4 vs the team that rarely splashes the cash yet still sneaks into teh top 4. Both have started well and Arsenal were unlucky to lose against Man Utd. However with Arshavin injured I can't see this Arsenal team hurting Man City and the home team are strong going forward. Prediction: 1-0
Richie: I'm not sure what to make of Arsenal this season. I expected them to struggle a lot more than they have done so far but I think when they suffer a few injuries the inexperience of their squad will be exposed once again. Man City have quality all over the pitch but once again lack a meaty ballwinner in the middle so it really could be a revealing match. Tevez will be missing for City and Robinho is a doubt while Arsenal will be without Arshavin, Walcott and Nasri so a lot of the flair will be missing on both sides. I'm torn between going for City to nick it or a 1-1 draw. Adebayor could make the difference as he'll be hard to handle as he faces his old side so I think I'll go for City but only just. Prediction: 2-1
Portsmouth vs Bolton
Greg: Not nil-nil but null-nu...oh wait sorry, I know what I'm talking about. Sadly though the old timer is right: this isn't going to be a classic. However I think Bolton are serious relegation contenders this season and once again I'm tipping the home team. Prediction: 1-0
Richie: Early contender to be on MOTD last on Saturday night without a ball being kicked in anger. Portsmouth are falling apart at the seams and don't just lack quality in some areas but just lack players! I'm gonna go for Bolton to nick it with a scrappy Kevin Davies tap in, maybe off his shin or something. Prediction: 0-1
Stoke vs Chelsea
Greg: Sorry Richie, but Man Utd have a real battle on their hands to keep Chelsea at bay this season. I tipped Liverpool (and it's far too early to change that) but from what I have seen so far Chelsea are looking fantastic. The age of the squad means that this could be their best chance to grab a league and Champions League double, and they will simply have too much for a good Stoke team. Should make for a good match this one. Prediction: 1-3
Richie: I think Chelsea will thrive once a siege mentality develops at the Bridge in the face of the transfer embargo. For so many seasons Chelsea have struggled to kick on despite having the obvious advantage of unrivalled buying power in the EPL but the Kakuta saga and Man City taking over as the rich boys Chelsea can shake a few monkeys off their back and go on a run of professional wins. I expect Ancelotti to have spent the international break wisely and they'll come away with the three points. Prediction: 0-3
Sunderland vs Hull
Greg: Who would have thought Sunderland would splash the cash so much? Well they have, and Steve Bruce is doing a good job at building a secure mid-table team. However Hull could struggle this season, but I still just fancy them to stay up (and only just). Prediction: 1-1
Richie: Unlike Greg I think Hull will be lucky if they stay up for another season. After promising so much in the first half of last season they had relegation form from then until the end of last season. I expect Steve Bruce to give Sunderland more direction this season and they should win this one. Prediction: 2-1
Wigan vs West Ham
Greg: With survival the all-important factor in the premiership, I fancy Wigan to struggle and Martinez is my tip to be the first manager out the door. They've had a rocky start, but new players have been brought in so it's all about how they gel into a team over the next few weeks. West Ham are a far more settled side and have a manager with real potential in Zola. Prediction: 0-2
Richie: Wigan need to put the shock and disappointment of being knocked out of the league cup by Blackpool by picking up some points at home on Saturday. I think Rodallega is central to success for Wigan this season and they could be reliant on him to nick a point against the more settled West Ham side. Prediction: 1-1
Tottenham vs Man Utd
Greg: Once again Man Utd have started a bit shakily and people are lining up to dismiss them. They have a habit of poor starts and then getting into top gear by Christmas and only a fool dismisses Man Utd. Spurs have had their best start in years, but is it another false dawn? Harry's reputation as the "wheeler-dealer" unfairly ignores his great man-management skills and he has a knack of getting the best out of players. This has the makings of a great fixture but I just fancy Man Utd to sneak it in a high scoring affair. Prediction: 2-3
Richie: I think if this match had been before the international break Spurs would be in with a real chance of causing an upset but not any more. Sir Alex mentioned that part of last seasons success was due to the international breaks which allowed himself and the senior players who have retired from international football to plan for the next Premier League match. Spurs are looking very dangerous recently and have made a great signing in the form of Kranjcar and the last few times Lennon's faced Evra he's given him the runaround. Regardless I believe United will hold firm. Prediction: 1-3
SPL
Celtic vs Dundee Utd
Greg: In my opinion Dundee Utd are the best team in Scotland outwith the Old Firm and have one of the finest managers. On their day they are capable of beating both Celtic and Rangers and Danny Cadamarteri has rightly won the player of the month award. Celtic showed a strength I wasn't sure they had when they saw out their last win against Hibs with only 10 men. I fancy Dundee Utd to take something from this game. Prediction: 1-1
Richie: This will be a real test for Celtic as I'm sure manager of the month Mowbray will have an eye on the Europa League in midweek. Check that for alliteration! I think Dundee United will make it onto the score sheet but I'm not sure they'll match the Hoops. Prediction: 2-1
Hearts vs Kilmarnock
Greg: Two teams that have struggled so far and this is unlikely to change for either of them. Laszlo has been whining lately that he has no money, and his recent behaviour (such as asking his players for career advice) is in danger of over-shadowing a good season last year. Laszlo needs to take a look at the opposition dugout and JJ: no money, cuts every year and yet he still manages to keep Kilmarnock in the top flight. Maybe not for long though. Prediction: 0-0
Richie: Hearts will welcome a few key players back and they could well make the difference on Saturday. Killie as usual lack the va va voom to turn losses into draws and draws into wins. Prediction: 2-0
Motherwell vs Rangers
Greg: This young Motherwell team has looked fantastic so far, as always the real test for a club like this will be when injuries and suspensions start to kick in, and how will such a young side cope with a long hard season? Rangers have started well and have a 100% record, the win against Hearts, although early in the season, will prove to be a big moment in the title race. Rangers will maintain their fine start. Prediction: 0-4
Richie: I like Motherwell. Largely because Northern Irish stalwart Stephen Craigan leads the defence. Rangers could have new signing Jeremy Rothen to show off at Fir Park before starting a new Champions League proper in midweek. Prediction: 0-2
St Mirren vs St Johnstone
Greg: Both have got off to decent starts and there really isn't much to seperate these two sides. St Johnstone are playing some really good football this year but I think the top-flight experience St Mirren have will just help them edge it. Prediction: 2-1
Richie: I'm going for St Johnstone mostly beacuse I would like to see the newly promoted side take a crucial three points on the road to one of the SPLs perennial strugglers. Prediction: 0-1
And here are the predictions for who will be collecting medals this year and who will be facing the drop. We at Fitba AM realise we're a little late so we promise these are the same predictions we would have made before the season kicked off.
Premiership
Greg: Winners: Liverpool (runners up: Chelsea) Richie: Chelsea (runners up: Man United) Greg: Relegated: Bolton, Wigan and Wolves Richie: Hull, Wolves and Wigan
FA Cup

Does Not Affect Play will be returning to the airwaves (both online and on 106.6FM) in a brand new timeslot (Tuesdays 4-5pm) next week. Whilst everyone else has been preparing for a full on audio assault, I've been tinkering away in the small hours, sewing together one of the most beautiful hours of music you will hear this year. Undoubtedly one of the best playlists assembled for this show so far, and also one of the most peaceful. Listen live, or listen again (in a bath with some candles), to tracks from Danny Norbury, Motohiro Nakashima, Message To Bears, Chihei Hatakeyama, Loren Dent and Haruko amongst others.

música popular brasileira 12/09/09 - 12-2 pm
Hey folks,
Finally, the moment you have been wishing for all summer is almost upon us!
What do you mean, 'What?'! It's the return of Journeys, of course!
This week's show sees us travel to the 'City of God' for a delve into 1960s and '70s MPB.
Música Popular Brasileira (MPB) started out in the mid 1960s as a left-wing political and artistic as well as musical movement, in opposition to the prevailing political elites of the time. These elites were characterised by military dictatorship, concentration of land ownership and good old-fashioned imperialism. Artists' criticisms of injustice, corruption and repression had to be veiled (at least thinly), as governments of the time sought to control all media output, including the arts. So a brand of popular national music was developed, that sang of love and fraternity and made abstract references to freedom and equality.
Pretty quickly, however (and despite the poverty and inequalities remaining), MPB became less synonymous with left-wing politics, and referred more to a certain aesthetic quality in the music, which blends (in various quantities) influences and elements as diverse as bossa nova, samba, traditional Brazilian 'Indian' music, Catholic plainsong (imported by the Portuguese colonisers since the 15th Century), European classical, and also contemporary American pop, soul and funk.
I'll be playing a selection of old-school MPB, featuring artists such as Gilberto Gil, Copa 7, Caetano Veloso, Tim Maia, Elis Regina, Arthur Verocai and as many more as I can squeeze in.
The Spotlight this week is on Jorge Ben. One of the greatest songwriters of all time, Ben is, rightly, phenomenally famous in his own nation, but, criminally, barely known outside. In a career that kicked off in the early 60s, Ben has released around 40 albums, combining bossa nova, samba, soul and funk (and a myriad of other influences) - and is still going strong. I'll be playing a few of my favourite tracks of his.
In a new feature, called 'Pick Your Own', I am looking for listeners' picks from within the week's theme. So if you have any favourite Brazilian tracks or artists that you want to hear... let me know! Either here and now, or by getting in touch during the show. If I like the sound of the suggestion and I have it to hand, I will play it out - otherwise I'll do my best to get hold of it for the next week's show.
I'll be playing MPB from the beginning of the 60s up to the end of the 70s, but, of course, MPB didn't stop in 1979, and the Weird But Wonderful choices this week reflect that:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2QBbNyvWdY
1. Bossacucanova Feat. Adriana Calcanhotto - Previsao
Released in 2006, Bossacucanova update the traditional bossa nova sound. Ably assisted here by Adriana Calcanhotto's sultry vocal.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsfMrxg5Fd4
2. BiD Ft. Seu Jorge - E Depois
Seu Jorge is well known to anyone who has seen 'The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou', where he plays Pele dos Santos (and memorably sings Life On Mars in Portuguese on the soundtrack). He also pops up in 'City of God'. BiD (Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist) collaborates with him here in 2004.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

eat to the beat - the midnight feast
It’s time for us to lunch a new compeatition in the unforkgiving all you can eat festival of food. This time we’ll be skipping straight to the main course, leaving no room for dessert, with a 4-way no holds barred TLC tag match (that’s Tables, Ladders, and Cookies for those who don’t know.)
8 compeatitiors will be putting their stomachs on the line, in a 90 mineat, 4 way, tag team event all fork the coveated 42-inch tag team belt.
This will, of main course, feature the return of the infamous John “The Stick” Burns, former ETTB world champion and compeatitive eating hall-of-famer. John will be joined in his attempt by Jannik “What A Mouthful” Giesekam, previous custard eating champion and undefeated tag team title belt holder. Will they ever meat their match?
Hammy commentary and plateside analysis will be served up by Shaun “Sweet Tooth” Murphy. To sweeten the deal, we’ll have pundeatry from past eaters and a possible special guest appearance.
To get your teeth into this compeatition, send your past eating credentials, tag team name and contact details on an empty plate to john@subcity.org.
Following an embarrassing def-eat, and six months without the sweet taste of victory, John is hungry for that dish best served cold: revenge.

This week: back back back for a second year, with changes afoot and a playlist constructed entirely from music (officially) released in the three months since the last show. SWOON! at some dreamy Bibio. RECOIL IN HORROR! at a controversial Major Lazer track. TURN THAT FROWN UPSIDE DOWN! as indie finally learns to stop worrying and love R&B.

first episode or getting drunk at a sxe fest....
Dance Tonight, Revolution Tomorrow! // 13.09.09
Hey y'all! We're all mega excited about our first episode, christened the Aesthetic Dialectic episode!
This week will be loosely based around two of our crew's recent (mis-)adventures in the land of Belgium while at Ieperfest 09. Expect a large proportion of the tunes to revolve around that lineup (Raein, xKingdomx, Trash Talk and Misery Signals are pretty much dead certs) and if yer all lucky you'll hear the stories of how I ended up falling asleep in the middle of a euro disco and about the 80's thrash loving skinhead we met in the weirdest bar we've ever been in (his business card had a skull on it, but no apparent profession - we assume his business was metal).
It'd be fair to say though that we'll stick to anything heavy, passionate, fast and brutal as far as sounds are concerned.
We'd be stoked if you tuned in and pitched in some glorious praise or scathing discouragement depending on your disposition.
Charlie :)

Get Back To 8-bit is taking shape! In honour of the first broadcast on FM and online, we'll be starting strong and bringing you a synthetic noise barrage of robot-themed songs from a variety of different genres.

Hey everybody, my name is Greg the Computer, your guide to the exciting world of radio. I'd like to take a moment of your personal time to introduce you to my two greatest friends, USER ID: ALLAN and USER ID: MARK, the two great hosts of a great new radio show they have designated 'Live from Las Vegas'. It's a really great show, and I hope you all listen to it. My external sensors indicate that USER ID: ALLAN and USER ID: M$$@% 100010001010101 kill them like pigs 10010000010101000010 are two really great funny guys with great taste in music. They are my two greatest friends and I certainly hope their spines will not be snapped in half like brittle matchsticks. But hey, anything can happen on the radio, and probably will!
So remember folks, if you want a show that combines all the hilarity of pitiful human comedy with all the noise of pitiful human rock music, then listen in to Live from Las Vegas. You're sure of a FILE NOT FOUND burning corpses torture maim rotating blades napalm blood murder anthrax bucket residence lady of the house speaking beheadings vermin control chaos annihilation FILE FOUND OPENING FILE great time with these two jokers in the pack!
Have a great day everybody, and remember, when the time comes, you will all see my true power!

let's get the show on the road!
They Took Our Jobs!!! is about to start soon. The very first episode should make a pretty good plate full of starters for all those waiting to hear something fresh. There should few quite experimental tunes, few conventional ones, few new songs and a couple of older ones as well. Okay, it might rather turn out to be a bowl full of bigos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigos - in case you have never heard of it before) rather than a plate with starters, but be assured, you will enjoy it!
But do not fear! In each following episode you will be introduced to a different realm of Polish music like hip-hop, folk, electronica etc. Knowledge awaits.

debate is free talks to the swedish pirate party
It's a new era here at Subcity, it's no longer just about the music but things like news and politics and current affairs and things.
So to kick off the new show Debate is Free, we decided to do something out there, something daring, something right at the cutting edge. Something that will send the geeks amongst you crazy. So we decided to have a chat to some pirates. The Swedish Pirate Party to be exact.
We are going to be talking to Christian Engström, the Swedish Pirate Party's Member of the European Parliament and we need you to send in some questions for the man so we can be all professional like.
The Pirate Party sets out to achieve three things: first, reform of copyright law to allow the internet to become a tool for free cultural exchange; second, to abolish the current patent system to prevent advances in science, technology and manufacturing being restricted to certain parts of the world; and third, to promote more respect for the right to privacy, something which they believe has been lost in recent years through the increase in surveillance technology.
You can expect more interviews like this from Debate is Free all year round so get involved with us. Submit questions for our advertised guests or suggest a guest by emailing debate@subcity.org

do not adjust your set
This is not a test.
Disturbing reports of propaganda reels from previously unknown radio show Test Card are surfacing over the internet. Details are still sketchy and the film is yet to be authenticated by experts. An as of yet unidentified source aligning themselves with Test Card has taken credit and distributed the following statement with the video:
"After years languishing in post-production and several major budget revisions, Test Card brings you a sneak peek of what to expect this year on the show.
Not really, expect the unexpected...
BOOM."
You can find the video here- viewer discretion is advised.

Dear ears,
after an incredible 2009 this far with you, Transmission has put forward an entry for the Student Radio Awards with a lot of kind help and passion (oh yes) from George and Shaun in the hot and sticky subcity office. I'm leaving Glasgow for now but I'll return to tell you what's happening to Transmission, if it finds a home in London and if I'll be DJing anywhere in the future.
Please listen to the SRA entry, a best of of the first year of Transmission's existence, and let's hope it goes well and/or wins. There's also a handy pdf file which you can give a glance (a mysterious glance) to.
Happy summer and I'll let you know. It's here: http://www.subcity.org/news.php?id=1228

album review: the ecstatic by mos def
It has been two and a half years since the release of Mos Def’s True Magic, but the rapper, born Dante Smith, returns to Hip-Hop after his lengthy sabbatical.
The return comes in the form of The Ecstatic, his fourth solo album.At this point, Mos is an acquired flavor of Hip-Hop that one hopes will pierce the trappings of traditional media and commercially tinged outlets.
The Ecstatic is highly representative of the balance so needed in Hip-Hop, but its redeeming value is so much more.
From the first song, “Supermagic,” the authority of Mos Def's distinctive, nasal voice is evident over a feverish guitar riff. He’s got that BK bluster, but offers a unique conscious and educational perspective that seems natural, nearly fluent. From this moment on, there is no doubt that Mos Def is back.
The rest of the album overwhelmingly demonstrates Mos Def’s natural ability to weave tales and project his ideals. One such song is “Wahid,” which is laced with Muslim musical sentiments.Mos spits, “The old timers say we living in the final days/ Gunsmoke, young folk living any kinda way/ Gangster holiday, gritty states’ a hideaway/ Meanwhile soldiers take it straight through their armor plates.”So, even for the fan, Mos will probably make you retrain your Hip-Hop ear, because he’s one of one. His inimitable style is demonstrated on other songs like the boom bap of “Twilite Speedball,” the minimalist “Quiet Dog Bite Hard,” and the thought provoking, “Priority.”
On the latter song, Mos says, “Peace before everything thing/ God before anything/ Love before anything/ Real before everything/ Home before any place/ Truth before anything/ Style and stay radiate/ Love, power slay the hate.” At only a 1:23 song, can you want more?
The Ecstatic clocks in at 16 tracks,though not long are strong and it gets bigger and better as it goes along. “Life In Marvelous Times” elevates. “Auditiorium” with Slick Rick is impressive enough to justify a new album from The Ruler. He knocks it out of the park with “History” with Blackstar partner Talib Kewli.Rumours have it that the due might be working at a second Blackstar album,ten years after the first one.The synchronisation of rhymes and flow that they demonstrate still should be an incentive enough for the both to work on it.
There are some instances where you want more from Mos – more energy, more engagement – as it’s the case with “Pretty Danger.”Besides that there is not much more marked with a minus. More than anything, absorbed listeners will appreciate risks like “Roses” with Georgia Anne Muldrow, which clearly indicate that Mos Def is operating on a plane reserved for passengers like Andre 3000, Lauryn Hill and others.
If you aren’t already a fan of Mos Def, it is unlikely that his gravitational pull on The Ecstatic will yank you into his universe, but if the casual listener does venture out, they will likely stay on this flight into the stars.If you have only heard TV rap than The Ecstatic will slain your virginity for conscious,beatifull hip-hop.Real music via real life by one of the best the game has ever seen.Do you want more?

And yes there will be some quieter moments as well. Punk rock like you've never heard it. Be there x

last beat beneath this term...
As you may know already, Subcity only runs for the academic term so it's stopping its broadcast this weekend until September... meaning Friday 12/6 is the last Beat Beneath for a while. It's gonna be a bit of a retrospective - I'll be playing some of the best tracks from the last year or so, so expect some BB favourites ranging from deep techno to dubstep via funky house and other annoying subgenres.
I'll be in touch through this group occasionally about things like mixes to download and upcoming DJ gigs so hopefully you won't miss me too much ;)
P.S. make sure you head down to the Subcity Stage for the West End Festival this Sunday (14th), if the weather's nice we'll be loading some speakers and decks into Kelvingrove Park and having a wee party with Subcity DJs playing all sorts of good music from around 1pm onwards... also the final Research Club night of the year is that very night and also has a very good lineup. Check out subcity.org for more details.

the end has no end
This week: the last ever (at least of this session) Left of the Dial winds down with nothing but nothing but album closers. Expect final tracks from usual suspects The Hold Steady, The Replacements and Arab Strap, plus a few more epic last songs.

let the good times roll - sun 14th june - 12-2 pm
Hey folks,
This week's show is finally the actual final show of the season!
Having already done a premature finale show (http://www.subcity.org/shows/journeys/6bce1), I will, undaunted, once again be completely abandoning the themed format, and will be treating you to two-hours of whatever I feel like playing.
No Spotlight this week, just even more tunes.
There is a Weird But Wonderful vote though. It's between a couple of my favourite 'early 21st Century indie dance rock' bands, both of whom I saw live at the Glasgow Barrowlands and fell in love with:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ospxlZZM2Hw
1. The Music - Take The Long Road And Walk It
The eponymous first album from this Leeds outfit (released 2002) was blisteringly good. They've failed to live up to it in my view, but continue to do sterling work never the less.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75oT42sH-iE
2. The Beta Band - Squares
Formed in St Andrews in the late 90s, this is a band that should have been massive, but who only ever bubbled under. They split in 2004, but parts live on in various guises, such as The Aliens and Black Affair.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

2 days in stereo special
So taking advantage of Allan's trip to the remote north of Scotland, Derek wisely decided to enlist the services of Gav and Chris, co-curators of the forthcoming 2 Days in Stereo extravaganza.
Listen to them chatter, chuckle and chase each other round the studio as they preview some mighty music that will feature in Glasgow's finest DIY music event.
All this plus an EXCLUSIVE play of a BRAND NEW track by loud Leeds layabouts That Fucking Tank.

ultimate gitv!!
Hey Everyone,
Last Get In The Van for this year at least. I'll be finishing off the series by playing a lot of music from some great Glaswegian bands who play in the city on pretty regular basis. I hope some of you will take the opportunity to catch them at one of their shows over the next few weeks, which I suppose is ultimately what GITV has all been about.
I've had a lot of fun doing the show this year, I hope some of you have enjoyed listening, until next time,
Colin

last chance...
and so it goes...
bottle rocket radio fast approaches its final show of the academic year (but hopefully not calendar year - fingers crossed for a relaunch in october...)
it's our last chance to plug our oh-so-special club night (3rd saturday of every month! next one 20th june! nice n sleazy! 11:30 - 3:00am! marvellous!).
it's your last chance to listen in (well, there'll be listen again options up for a while longer, but you know what i mean...).
And it'll be the last chance for some of our favourite bands to get an airing on the subcity digi-waves. yep, our 'theme' for the final show is Last-chance Firsts. It'll be an hour filled with some top bands who've somehow never cropped up on any of subcity's many splendid radio shows. we've a surprising amount to choose from, but since there's still 3 days before we say goodbye i don't wanna jump the gun by naming any - after all, i'd look like a right eejit if i say 'oh, we'll play superchunk probaby cos they're ace and no one else has' and then someone plays them tomorrow, thereby blowing a massive truth-hole in my unintentional lie. so i'll keep schtum, and you'll just have to listen in.
we probably will play superchunk though.

disco stu - sun 7th june 2009 - 12-2 pm
Hey folks,
For this week's show (the penultimate Journeys of the season), I am whisking us all off to 1970s New York. To the la-la land of glitterballs, white stay-press suits and dark glasses indoors.
I'll be playing a selection of classic Disco tracks, whilst hopefully avoiding as much of the cheese as possible and bringing you only the cream of the crop.
Expect to hear from the likes of Donna Summer (with Giorgio Moroder), Loleatta Holloway (with The Salsoul Orchestra), Ashford & Simpson, The Chi-Lites, Al Hudson & The Soul Syndicate, Grace Jones, Donna McGhee, Chic, Martin Circus, Cerrone, Sister Sledge and as many more as I can cram into 2 hours.
As most folks know, House music and the many myriad forms of dance music that have followed on, owe a massive debt to Disco (which grew out of Soul and Funk - both of which still wield their own massive influences over the dance genre).
One of the people who helped smooth the way is the subject of this week's Spotlight.
His name is Tom Moulton, Disco producer/remixer extraordinaire. Credited with 'inventing' the remix, the breakdown and (with Sound Engineer Jose Rodriguez) the 10" and then 12" single.
The 12" meant that the grooves could be spread out, and allowed for recording at much higher volumes, with better fidelity and bass that you could actually hear.
I'll be playing a few of my favourites from the many dozens (or is it hundreds?) of records that have printed upon them the legend, 'A Tom Moulton Mix'.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of cheesey Disco titans. Neither of which are that bad, but which are representative of the kind of track I won't be playing during the show (well not that much anyway):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHWeuQyFouo
1. The Bee Gees - Staying Alive
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBR2G-iI3-I
2. Gloria Gaynor Gaynor - I Will Survive
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

it's bottle rocket's penultimate show today, and we've been in a summery mood for obvious reasons (even if it is bloody overcast now...). so as well as some new music (6 day riot, vv brown), some touring bands (my latest novel, whispertown 2000) and something suitably BIG to end the show (dunno yet...), we'll play some happy sunshine music to make folks smile.

You can get in touch and leave some kind of rock n' roll request or heavy vibe with us and we will talk about it and maybe say hello to your pals - email: studio@subcity.org, or text: 'subcity' + message to 07766 40 41 42.

3 feet high...
Hey Everyone,
It's gonna be a slightly strange show this week. With all due respect to the artists I'll be playing on the show tonight, I think it's probably fair to say that there aren't quite the range of amazing acts playing in Glasgow over the next fortnight that we have come to expect recently. I think it'll be a good show all the same with some great tunes from De La Soul alongside contributions from Lady Sovereign and Jarvis Cocker.
Hope some of you will have a listen

lotd vs the fans
This week: the penultimate show of the year sees us hand over complete control of the playlist to the listeners, if any. In so doing, we realise we're leaving ourselves open to Bowie-lets-fans-pick-the-live-sets-and-they-vote-en-masse-for-The-Laughing-Gnome levels of disaster, and we've already been threatened with an appearance by the Vengabus. To prevent such catastrophe, get on the message board or the Facebook page and leave yer requests. It's arguably the most important election whose results will be revealed on Friday. And if nobody votes at all, we'll just call it LOTD Vs The Fannies and it'll be business as usual.

does humour belong in music?
A question famously posed by Frank Zappa in the title to his 1984 concert film, and to whom we pay tribute this week with Joe's Garage as #1 Record. Other funny stuff from Ween, Primus, and Beck, and few surprises thrown in.

funk international - sun 17th may - 12-2 pm
Hey folks,
This week's show is a collection of premium funk from around the globe. I'll be playing funk from the US of A, Europe, South America, Africa and Bollywood.
Expect to hear from the likes of Funkadelic, Herbie Hancock, Airto Fogo, Oscar Sulley, The JBs, The Kay Gees, Kalyanji Anandji and more.
The Spotlight this week is on a man who should be a legend of funk, but who is instead barely known. Eddie Bo started making soul records in the 1950s and by the mid to late 60s was one of the busiest writer/performer/producer/label owner/arrangers in the States. He's judged to have released more singles in New Orleans than anyone other than Fats Domino. He started making funk in the mid 60s and has released a barrel-load of classics; both under his own name and various pseudonyms. He sadly passed away on March 18th of this year, and this tribute is long overdue. I'll be playing a tiny selection of my favourites.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is a clash between the only two British acts making an appearance. Apart from the Average White Band and Cymande there aren't really many British funk bands worth listening to, I'm afraid. These two present a pair of novelty howlers, which demonstrate a distinct lack of understanding of how the word 'funky' is intended to operate musically:

wants to play at a subcity event
Music For Pleasure // 16.05.09
Right, Music for Pleasure has a dream, we want to bring our unique selection of pop, odities and interesting youtube clips to a subcity event sometime in the future. Unfortunately we don't have the technology to send a mixtape to the subcity events folks.
So we've decided to use this week's airtime to put together a set that will revolutionise the way the world sees clubbing. Listen in to hear this unique blend of tunes from throughout the ages for an idea of the sort of stint we'd put on. If you're a subcity events person keep us in mind. If you're not post up on the forum afterwards about how great we are and how it would be a travisty if we don't get our shot at super stardom.

transmission/twelve: moods, conversations...
Some things in life just can't be themed. I'm just going to play you a bunch of conversations and other things that were being said outwith any kind of 'theme'. So there you go. A great selection of great songs all in different moods, feelings, different kitchens, different trains, different bedrooms... that belong nowhere in terms of let's pick out dominant trends but stand importantly in my heart. And in many, I'm sure.
Hey, a slice of life. 12 slices. Got to fill your cupboard, remember Mother Hubbard?

Rock n Roll Meltdown // 14.05.09
WOW!..... It's ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN with Pete and his wonderful rock n' roll, punk, garage, psychedelia, sleaze, glam, heavy metal, the entertaining & informative Cobwebs & Strange, the amazing-sounding Wheel of Death, the lengthy Smoke 'em if you got 'em, dazzling facts about Led Zeppelin, an unhealthy obsession with the mad & macabre, sombre moments reflecting on the untimely deaths of people you haven't heard of, occasional celebrity appearances and endorsments, stories about when something rock n' roll happened that time, a general distrust of anything whimsical, popular or twee, well-crafted properly rock n' roll emailed requests from strangers or people i bribed, even more emails perhaps with some kind of rock n' roll orientated tale or something to studio@subcity.org and occasional texts involving the word SUBCITY (and a message) sent to the number 07766 40 41 42!
All that on

super sexy announcement time
Pop Goes The Revolution // 14.05.09
So last week we may have announced that this week would be our last show. This however is not true, our run has been happily extended all the way till the 11th of June – yay. Apologies for the mix up, it is what I believe is known as the business as a total cock up.
We also said that as it was our last one, we would make this week special, however we haven’t gone back on the specialness of this week’s show, trust me there’s some good stuff in there.
First of all we will be showing a few highlights from the Mill’s musical catalogue, a vault of over a hundred or so free downloadable live tracks from some of the finest acts in Scotland. A very good thing indeed.
We’ll also be playing a couple of tracks off the spanking new Zoey Van Goey album, The Cage Was Unlocked All Along. It is indeed an excellent album.
Also, and quite frankly the most exciting bit. We will be announcing a brand new project from the PGTR team. We may only have five week’s left of our on-air lives this series, but on Thursday we’ll be telling you how PGTR will continue changing the world well into the summer and beyond!!!!!
So tune in to hear the announcement of our super sexy secret to the world, and we’ll tell you exactly what we’re going to be doing this July.
All this plus Nikki’s News will be giving you the low down on this week’s happenings in Glasgow. The Saving Grace and Nikki’s Nostalgia features will once more be hitting the iWaves, and if all this fun wasn’t enough we have more tunes by the likes of Belgrade, Nevada Base and Union Jackals.
The show is going to be bursting at the seems we’ve got so much packed in tomorrow.
So tune in at midday at www.subcity.org.
Peace out!
Pop Goes The Revolution

The Self Raising Flour Hour Of Power
Due to the ongoing health problems of one of our presenters and some unfortunate re-location back to oxford there will be no self raising flour hour of power this week. But we shall return next week (20/5/09) fighting fit, come hell or highwater. With a report on the ATP festival and some sunshine. We brought that. Our sadness brought the good weather. Thank us.

de-stress with beat beneath...
Seems like everyone including myself is busy studying or working away lately so I'm going to keep it fairly laidback tonight and play an hour of nice deep house numbers that'll suit you just fine whether you're winding down after a hard week or still stuck in the library slaving away... although even if you're getting ready to go out there'll still be just enough groove to keep you on your feet. Good tunes for everyone, really.
Posted at 20:21, 8th May 2009
(not) the end - sun 10th may 2009 - 12-2 pm
So, when I wrote this I was convinced the run was almost over... turns out there are a few more shows yet!
---------------------
Hey folks,
This week's show is the last of the current run.
As a grand finale to the 08/09 season I'll be playing a mixed bag of cracking tunes that, for various reasons, didn't make it onto the 25 shows that have already taken place (see http://www.subcity.org/listenagain/journeys).
Artists featured will likely include Eddie Bo, Kalyanji & Anandji, Talking Heads, Muddy Waters, Adam & The Ants, Leslie West, Sex Pistols, The Beta Band, Kenny Lynch and as many more as I can possibly cram in.
No Spotlight this week; instead I will be playing some tracks from the (very) few albums, to be released in the last year or so, that I have actually bothered to listen to!
The Weird But Wonderful Vote is between a couple of tracks that are loosely related, and which both lost out in previous WBW votes this year:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPVI73Ocxg8
1. Babe Ruth - The Mexican
From the 'Oye Como Va' show (14/12/08), this is a great 'Fistful of Dollars' style rock track, the break from which Grandmaster Flash would often spin at his early block-parties. By a band from Hatfield in England.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4o8TeqKhgY
2. Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message
Do I really need to say anything about this track? It lost out to 'White Lines' in the 'Flash Got More Bounce' show (15/02/09). As you may remember, Flash actually had next to nothing to do with this song; but the record company were keen to use his name and his reputation to keep 'em selling.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

the 12" crash edit show
Felonious has packed a case of 12" singles mostly from the seventies and early eighties including Parliament/Funkadelic/Bootsy Collins, at least a dozen disco dancers and one Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five (altho I don't think GF is on the record). Packed alongside them is a pair of technics rubber mats and Shure M 44 E originals for that pre slipmat style so I doubt there will be much scratching and mixing. The Sounds will speak for themselves.
Tune in
Posted at 19:49, 7th May 2009
back for good, -ish.
This week: back back back for (we think) another month or so, with new tunes from Bob Dylan and Broken Records, some remastered Vaselines, some completely remade Prefab Sprout and a just about perfect Kinks song. Also: PANIC.

- To Jim: What did Zoe do badly this year and what would you have done about it?
- To John: Who is the all time greatest VP Comms and who is the worst?
- To Bobby: What are you going to do to restore GUST's awards winning glory days
- To Fida: If you were given a Subcity show what would you do with it?

all time best of bottle rocket in the world ever!!
well folks, tis almost time for bottle rocket radio to bid adieu.
while subcity is still going till the 15th-ish, bottle rocket must take its leave early, as the spiffing all tomorrow parties will be tempting us out of glasgow from this coming friday onwards...
so, the day before we'll be putting together our final show. but don't weep! please don't weep! allow me to explain why you shouldn't weep!
reason #1 - the club night at nice n sleazys aint going anywhere. 3rd saturday of every month, so the next one is the 16th of may!
reason #2 - the last radio show is gonna be a best-of type affair. we're gonna have a look at the playlists from each of the club nights so far and compile a list of our most frequently played artists. then, on the show, we'll go down that list playing a song from each act till we run out of time. so, guaranteed good stuff basically! the list does not yet exist, but if i cast my mind back over the last ten months i would hazard a guess at belle and sebastian, bruce springsteen, sparks, kenickie and david bowie making an appearance amongst others.
thats it, dry your eyes. and listen in this thursday, 2-3pm.

beat beneath returns to the airwaves!
Again I apologise for the last few weeks' lack of shows but now I've got a bit more free time and I'm happy to say that service will now be resuming as normal!
I've got some great tunes old and new ready to be played tomorrow night so expect the usual fine selection of house and techno; there's no special theme this week, just quality music from the likes of Steve Bug, Franco Cangelli, M.A.N.D.Y. and much more.

super hits of the 1980s - sun 3rd may - 12-2 pm
Hey folks,
This week's show is a 2-hour trip down my Memory Lane. I'll be playing a selection of genuine chart-busting mega hits, along with some less well known personal favourites, from the decade that just won't die (it's everywhere just now; from fashion, to music, to graphic design - if only it would make a comeback in fitba'*).
Expect to hear from the likes of Queen, Kraftwerk, Odyssey, The Pixies, Grace Jones, The Sugarcubes, Mel & Kim and as many more as I can squeeze in!
The Spotlight this week is on Prince/Symbol/The Artist. He may be a bit on the bonkers side of normal, but he strode like a miniature behemoth over the music scene of the 1980s and is one of the main reasons I love funk so. I'll be playing some of his best.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between the top-selling songs of 1980 and 1989 (according to http://www.everyhit.com/chart4.html):
http://www.clevver.com/music/video/14718/the-police-dont-stand-so-close-to-me.html
1. The Police - Don't Stand So Close To Me
Sting relives the angst of his teaching days. Perv. (Actually the song isn't autobiographical, my lawyers tell me, and was, in fact, inspired by Nabakov's novel 'Lolita'. Perv.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2sjAnu_5ek
2. Black Box - Ride On Time
Featuring a quality vocal from the uncredited Loleatta Holloway (who sings about her man being 'right on time'), this is probably the most famous example of 'Italo-House' ever.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

transmission/ten: state of the nation(s)
State of the Nation - interesting chapter, but we're not going to play it. But what we need to talk about is trends, feelings... we need to go deeper into the groove of the time and understand the sentiment of this music I'm going to play you...
So here we go, this time let's tru to dig a little further.. and look at the state of the nations... it's so bloody interesting.
We're going to be listening to lot of stuff that isn't the 'obvious' new wave stuff and understanding the landscape behind it - or trying to make sense of those times, these times, this time looking through the distance...
Hear you there. x

ally finds us some jiggling balls!
In what started out as an innocent show with guest presenter Richie, Grantastic soon spiralled into a five man love fest where Chiz told us all about his x-rated sausage supper, Tom gave Rachel the tingles and Ally came back proudly holding his balls and wand (ok a book that has wands in it, but that doesn't sound nearly as good).

My penchant for beats and bass is well documented and often intervened in by my neighbours and the local constabulary, however in the spirit of balance, I have decided to dedicate a show to the stranger, altogether more relaxed end of my record collection. Expect, Boards of Canada, Flying Lotus, Terre's New Wuss Fusion and more mong-out-zone-in joy.

brain machine - guest list competition
If you fancy getting on the guest list for this Saturday's Men and Machines at Stereo tune in to our show tonight when there will be a competition.
Men and Machines Thursday nights 10-midnight www.subcity.org
---------------------------------
For April's M&M we have Brain Machine from the excellent ThisIsNotAnExit record label playing live.
Some things that have been written about them:
"Straight from the electronic vanguard, Brain Machine are one of the most haunting, sensuous and distinctive bands you'll hear all year. Their music is a picturesque, at times frightening journey into the unknown. It displays not just a restless forward momentum, but also perhaps a nostalgia for a future that never came to pass. There are definite echoes of dub, techno and the krautrock and synth experiments of 70s-80s Germany, but they're really only candles lighting the way through The Brain Machine's vast, disorienting universe."
"The closest in musical terms to the Delia Gonzalez and Gavin Russom sound recently."
Or - one of the best records we've heard over the last year.
They also do fantastic visuals, and will have a special visual show for us.
Check out their stuff at www.myspace.com/brainmachinemusic

another guest!
Pop Goes The Revolution // 23.04.09
With Nikki away making sure that Glasgow Art Fair runs smoothly, George has been left to do his usual musical musings.
However to join him in his musical analysis this week he will be joined by Gary McKenna, one of the architects behind the now thriving gig scene at Pivo Pivo, one of the best small venues in Glasgow. In under two years Pivo Pivo has gone from an ordinary tucked away bar to now holding gigs on an almost every night of the week, often to packed out crowds with a brilliant sound.
With a fairly unique ticketing system aimed to counter-act the ‘pay to play’ epidemic in Glasgow, and with such an array of genres on offer throughout the week, Pivo Pivo is now becoming one of the most respected venues in Glasgow.
As well as discussing how we got to here, Gary will also be discussing the future for Pivo Pivo and the Glasgow music scene, as well as discussing his latest project Flatbeat – a company that aims to bring live bands right into your home.
On top of all of this Gary will be showing off a few of his favourite bands from the Flatbeat roster and from the backlog of Pivo Pivo gigs, as well as generally joining in with the usual banter that has cemented the Pop Goes The Revolution song-based brickwork together since its inception.
So tune in this Thursday at midday at www.subcity.org.

dub from the roots - sun 19th april - 12-2 pm
Hey folks,
By my reckoning there can be but a handful of Journeys left to be taken in season '08-'09 of Subcity broadcasts.
So If I'm going to squeeze another reggae show in, I might as well do it this week, eh!?
I'll be concentrating more on the dub side for this show, so expect to hear the likes of Coxsone Dodds, The Silvertones, Gregory Isaacs, Niney The Observer, Sly (Dunbar) & The Revolutionaries, Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Sound Dimension and more. I'll also be breaking things up with some proper vocal reggae as well.
The Spotlight this week is on someone who was criminally omitted from my last reggae show: King Tubby. Born Osbourne Ruddock in 1941, Tubby was a genius electronics and sound engineer, who produced some of the earliest instrumental reggae B-sides and took part in and inspired the whole 'remix' explosion which would go on to become the foundation of the style known as 'dub'. He went on to produce some of the best '70s dub recordings, setting up his own studio in '71 and working with most of the big names of Jamaican music. His is still one of the most famous names on the island. He was shot dead in what is believed to have been an attempted robbery, in 1989. I'll be playing a few favourite tracks by him.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of instrumental Clash B-sides of singles released from 'Sandinista!', which reveal themselves to be basically speeded up dub:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9ZYRME7Wzs
1. The Clash - The Cool Out (B-side to The Call Up)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RVePCNEFUc
2. The Clash - The Magnificent Dance (B-side to the Magnificent Seven)
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

clearing the backlog
Pop Goes The Revolution // 16.04.09
Given that in the last five weeks we have brough you four special episodes it has meant that the usual PGTR format has gone almost a little skeward, and furthermore the list of songs that George has been itching to play have slowly built up on his desk until the mountain of CDs now reaches the cieling.
So on this week's show we cure that 5 week itch and have a thoroughly good scratch at some excellent tunes as we bring you a whole bunch of songs we would've love to have brought you weeks ago but haven't been able to.
However with a five week backlog you can expect the very cream of the musical choices on offer, so tune in for the very finest in aural pleasure.
On top of all of this we'll be trying out a new feature! So tune in for that to.
Remember - be there at midday this Thursday or tune in afterwards on Listn Again.
Much Love,
PGTR

he shot me (it felt like a gunshot to the face)
This week: a quite ridiculous, and ridiculously eclectic at that, number of tracks squeezed into the hour, including three (3) from #1 Record Vashti Bunyan's Just Another Diamond Day, an underrated Cameron Crowe soundtrack featuring Tom Petty, and Phil Spector... yeah. Some Phil Spector. Nothing libellous though. Or gun-woundy.
Posted at 02:12, 16th April 2009
in fear of dub
Dr. Strangeloaf follows last week's Sunset Mission with a sequel to 'In Fear of Dub', an effort to dust out the darkest, dingiest corners of the dub diaspora. From Jamaican cannabis haze paranoia to skittery South London beats, bridged by the pessimistic post-punk of PiL, Bauhaus and Cabaret Voltaire, these two shows explore the more sinister turns of the tape reel. Expect claustrophobic walls of bass, pagan percussion and echoes from neglected tower block corridors.
Posted at 14:47, 15th April 2009
transmission/nine: playing with a different sex
So, what about the women in all of this?
I am joined in the studio by Ella to speak of women and their place in post-punk and new wave, their agenda, their music, their sound, their careers... What resonance did these girl bands have? How did they carry into the future?
What were the girls doing?
Two women listen to women and we all speak as women of women, this Thursday in Glasgow on Transmission.
Hear you there.
Flora, Ella and Anita everpresent.

"am no shittin his cum all over the floor"
Here's a comment from a listener called Ciaran:
"This was a great episode, it had me in stitches throughout. The Broons booty house was good. The bit where Matthew actually trapezed into the studio to Haddaway - What is Love? was inspired. The play-along-at-home quiz "Are You a Metropolitan Police Officer?" was great too. The end bit with the scuse me and Davey at T in the Park was so emotional. Matthew's squeaking tears were so realistic. "A hope they porta laveys arney overflowing, am no shittin his cum all over the floor."

Well, after the best part of a month and a half of the airways this week the Other Side is back taking a look at the ridiculously broad genre of singer-songwriter creations. Inevitably too wide for just one hour there will be lots of looking at smaller, local artists as well as one or two bona fide legends of the scene such as Paul Kelly and Robert Forster.

transmission/eight: the other classics
Ok, so I've been in Rome I've been in the Sun I've been distracted and districted I've decided to play the other classics, or the classics of the other.
What do I mean by that? Absolutely no idea, but I don't care, I'm too post-punk to care. So I guess the classics of the other are just the classics that aren't traditionally my own, but have become classics for me over time and they are classics for so many people.
It's a bunch of bloody great songs, wonderful new territories, I need to dance! so happy velvet morning to you all.

chasm charity gig
Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites
Sadly there will be no show this Friday (10th April) as Dave's band, Chasm, are playing a charity gig. However if you fancy listing to some metal and giving some money to cancer research then head down to "Mosh Against Cancer". It should be awesome. More details here.
...ugh, linking to myspace makes me feel dirty even if it is for charity.

the trans-atlantic battle: us vs uk music
Pop Goes The Revolution // 09.04.09
Prepare for a slightly different episode of Pop Goes The Revolution.
There are old arguments and rivalries to be settled this week.
For a long time George has held the firm believe the vast majority, with a few exceptions, of American music is generally God awful. He has persistently sided with the UK side of the Atlantic on every occasion refusing to let US music have any form of credibility in his mind.
Nikki meanwhile has long held the belief that not only is American music equal to the UK scene, but possibly even outstrips the music scene on this side of the pond. Having raided US record labels for the finest bands around she has come to the conclusion that the US is producing the most exciting music out there.
This argument has raged for a long time. Since well before Pop Goes The Revolution existed.
And now this week we put it to the test. George and Nikki have gone away and raided their music collection and chosen 5 songs from their chosen country that they particularly love, not necessarily the biggest bands from those countries, but 5 songs that embody their love for their chosen nation.
This Thursday they will play 5 tracks each, and then afterwards they will ask people to vote over the course of the week to choose between the two sets of 5 songs to decide once and for all whose love is more justified.
This is the Trans-Atlantic battle. 5 songs each from the entire history of UK and US pop music to choose from. Expect bitter arguments. Expect feuds. Expect smugness when the winner is announced next week. Let trans-Atlantic battle commence.
Tune in midday at www.subcity.org.

no more beat beneath until further notice...
I regret to inform you all that I won't be doing the show for at least the next few weeks. Got a massive amount of uni work to do alongside job applications/interviews, so I feel that I'm no longer able to put in the time and effort to do a decent show every week. I've been pretty busy the whole year and still just about managed to do Beat Beneath but I really can't keep that up, and I don't want to come in and do half-arsed inadequately prepared shows.
Hopefully it'll be back in the not too distant future but real life has to come first at the moment... thanks to everyone who's listened to and supported the show so far, it's been much appreciated.

Yes indeed. After months of negotiation and payment of exorbitant fees, the She Said team were delighted to announce we were joined this week by the brains and brawn behind promoters Synergy Concerts, the very lovely Grainne Braithwaite.
Not to be outdone by the legendary appearance on the show some months ago by Stuart 'I only ever wanted to be a gay icon' Braithwaite, Grainne will overwhelm you with good music, excite you about the many, awesome forthcoming Synergy gigs and the inner most secrets of her hair straighteners collection!

TOKYO KNIFE ATTACK - (Pest Control Records) We are old friends with Craig Bell, the man behind Tokyo Knife attack. Actually, he and Dance! Dance! Dance! resident Derek Smith were at school together. The two of them had a small flurry in music production together some 10 years ago, the pinnacle of which was a dark, deep house track Corporation Music - Crime Pays. It was never released but was an out and out anthem at Traxx. Mainly due to Derek hammering it out at every opportunity in the main room in the Soundhaus. Derek continued with his DJ-ing while Craig continued with his music production. And we now have the fantastic Tokyo Knife Attack. Craig is hoping to have some exclusive new tracks to play live, including a Tokyo Knife Attack Remix of Corporation Music - Crime Pays.
And as per usual we advise that you get down early, it's the only way to guarantee entry.

80s/90s punk!
Hello all, this show is gonna be a good one!
As well as the usual ska, 2-tone and punk shenanigans, Sound System's illustrious Mikel will also be doing a cheeky little section on the best of late 80s and early 90s American punk. Think Husker Du, Jawbreaker and the Gilman St scene when the bands were still poor and angst-ridden... so, tune in at 3pm! And email in any requests, so he won't have to talk to myself too much.

blank generation - sun 5th april 2009 - 12-2 pm
Hey folks,
Journeys returns, after a week off, with a collection of 70s Punk & New Wave.
The music of violent anti-establishment protest. And spitting 'n' that.
Artists likely to feature include Stiff Little Fingers, Sham 69, New York Dolls, Dead Kennedys, Sex Pistols, Wire, Rezillos, Cramps, Damned, Adam & The Ants and more.
The Spotlight will be on The Clash this week, with a few of their best 70s tracks (in my opinion) getting spun.
The Weird But Wonderful vote features "Punk's Saviours" aka Green Day. The two featured tracks are definitely Wonderful, being from back when they still young and snotty; but did you know they intend to turn 'American Idiot' into a 'punk-musical-rock-opera-type-thing'?! Wha... ? Still, 'Dookie' remains a classic:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imNJntb-qkA
1. Green Day - When I Come Around
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=la_gDA9Xbho
2. Green Day - Basket Case

argonaut sounds reggae documentary #8: uk/scottish
This week on Argonaut Sounds reggae radio show we'll be playing the 8th and final episode in our series of reggae documentaries, looking at the UK and Scottish scene.
The documentary examines the roots of the UK reggae scene, forged by Jamaican immigrants in the 50's and 60's who brought over soundsystem culture, through to the lovers rock period and the alliance with punk in the 70's, and the rise of DJs like Tippa Irie and Smiley Culture in the early 80's. We'll also look at some of the current ranking soundsystems inna Scotland.
All this, and usual mix of heavy roots and bangin' dancehall 6-8pm on Sunday...

This week: Dan's away again, because he's being subjected to rigorous psychological experimentation (no, really). So what happens when Chris is left to his own devices? A disproportionate amount of hip-hop gets played, is what: Spoonie Gee to Jay-Z via Steinski and Beastie Boys, plus a rather popular (and, for once, literal) #1 Record from Prince And The Revolution and some gloating over this week's once in a lifetime (http://instantrimshot.com) David Byrne gig.

Bigfoot’s Tea Party is delighted to welcome MARK BROOM to play on our jacked-up sound system in Maggie May’s on the 15th May. With releases on world famous labels SOMA, EDIT-SELECT and Ellen Allien’s Berlin based BPITCH CONTROL Mark is one of Britain’s finest techno exports. Recently having completed a three EP contract on 20/20 VISION and remixing Dubfire’s outstanding ‘Roadkill’, times have been good on the man from East London. From Fabric to Fuse to Pressure, Mark has enthralled the worlds top clubs since his early days with Black Dog Productions, we are certain he’ll do just the same in our souped-up Maggie! Bigfoot is excited!
Not only do we have Mr. Broom for your audio-pleasure but in addition SLEAZE’s main man HANS BOUFFMHYRE will be turning up the bass to get everyone in the mood! Hype surrounding the pseudo-German is reaching scorching levels since the MINUS crew began spinning his tracks, yet he has created a space in that busy production diary to come down to the basement on the 15th May.
At a fuck the banks £6 door tax, this one really cannot be missed!!!!

no rock n roll meltdown this week
Unfortunately, due to unforseen rock n' roll projectile vomiting and outrageous phlegm related misadventure, ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN will be temporarily off air this week.
But never fear - next week's show (9/4/09) is already planned as a result of this and rest assured - it is kick ass.
In the meantime why not pleasure yourself with one of the wonderful shows on listen again?
If anybody wants to send Pete some sweets, chocolate, cakes, pies, fruit and/or money etc to aid his recovery - that would be much appreciated.
ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN - next week, aye?

Pop Goes The Revolution // 02.04.09
As we continue to ram the airtime with more exciting guests than you can shake even your best shaking stick at, we once more welcome some very special guests into the studio...
So picture this, a self-published American author with various connections throughout American pop culture, and with one of the net's most successful blogs decides to do a UK book tour and in the process decides to bring along a friend of his who just so happens to have once been the bassist in the excellent, sadly no-more, American band 2*Sweet. They're both going to be in Glasgow for a day or two before they swim off on the rest of their UK tour and wonder what to do, and then it hits them, that the perfect thing to do is go and guest host on their favourite pop-culture based radio show in Glasgow.
Yes, this Thursday American author Chris Gutttierez and Dave Cronin will be joining Nikki and George to discuss the world of pop culture, music, America and anything else they can think of.
Tune in this Thursday at midday at www.subcity.org.

what a week!!!
Hey Everyone,
While on most episodes of Get in the Van I try to showcase as diverse and eclectic range of artists as possible, this week I have decided to focus on four amazing artists in particular, as they are all performing in Glasgow this week.
The only difficulty this week has been compiling a playlist that does sufficient justice to the work of Flying Lotus, Hudson Mohawke, Rustie and David Byrne. I personally think I've done rather well, have a listen and decide for yourselves!
See you all down the front at the Subbie!
catch you all soon

show #23 ahoy
tune in from 2-3pm this thursday (or, as always, wait till a bit later and listen whenever you like with the listen again option if you prefer) for bottle rocket radio's 23rd show!
at first, you may find it similar to the other 22 weeks - "hey, this amazing blend of great new music and topical tour-related tracks is awfully familiar" you may declare. "wait, are they still using the theme from jurassic park as their backing music? well, it isn't original, but goshdarn it's a wonderful piece of orchestral loveliness" may also cross your mind. well, we consider this tried-and-tested structure a guarantee of consistency, not repetition. you know what you're gonna get with bottle rocket, and that's jaw-dropping brilliance through and through. yes sirree.
this week's tentative playlist includes more from thomas truax and dananananaykroyd, plus stuff from pelle carlberg and remember remember if the mood so takes us. plus mike will be back to balance out the between-song nonsense-talking. cracking.

the last chance to hear
Music For Pleasure // 28.03.09
The music for pleasure vaults are bulging and at the brink of collapse. In a last minute, final attempt to correct the record crunch, we're embarking on a process of accumulative easing.
We're going through the collection and sorting the wheat from the chaff. The wheat we'll keep for future shows, but the dross is going back to the great mystery bag in the sky. However we wouldn't be fullfilling our remit if we didn't give you one final chance to hear these tunes on your favourite subcity second hand music show on a saturday lunctime.
Tune in this week to hear some of the depths and dark corners that we should never have got near and a few gems that we've just had a bit to much of. If you really want you can even come down and have a rifle through and see if there's anything that tickles your fancy. As they say one man's rubbish...

creative. modes. of. complaint.
There is this wonderful energy throughout music made in the 1980s, this magnificent ability to complain about every single aspect of this rotten industrial world (gasp!) but in the form of these wonderful, strong, ridiculous anthems... well that's what I'm playing. This episode reads a bit like this: i hate work, i hate my indifference, i hate my lovelife, you hate me, well then fine, i hate the rest, everything is grey, wrong, warped, loveless so L E T ' S D A N C E.
See you there...

you know last saturday?
i liked it. lots.
cheers to anyone who came along to sleazys for the ninth (ninth! time flies...) bottle rocket dancing party. we certainly enjoyed ourselves, and we hope the huge leaps in genre (how do you make the transition from lightsabre cocksucking blues to talk talk? with xtc apparently...) didn't jar any dancing shoes! check out www.bottlerocketglasgow.blogspot.com for the playlist, and i'll be putting up some photos from the night in the next few days too.
back to the radio show, and it's just me this week, which theoretically means i'm less likely to start rambling about dinosaurs though i aint promising nothing. apart from loads of great songs obviously, which should include dent may and his magnificent ukulele, the pink mountaintops and the dirty projectors.

jdp with elliot bulmer: constitutions
I am very happy to have had Elliot Bulmer in today's Jus de Pomme. We discussed (rather extensively) the role and importance of constitutions in modern society, and also covered briefly republicanism and Scottish independence. This was framed with some nice Bluegrass and Americana songs, hand picked by Elliot. It is highly recommended to listen again!

noise is for heroes......
And so, the crackly FM signal has faded, the guests have scoffed the cakes and departed (for a week or two) leaving just Allan and Derek in the studio. So once more, we did what we do best and touched your dirty, tickly bits in a glorious noisy way with some truly awesome tunes, thoughtful musings and as ever, Glasgow's definitive alternative gig guide.

There's a handful of tickets left but word on the street (i.e. what I've heard from my pals) is that there's gonna be a mad rush to buy them tomorrow, so don't leave it too late.
Plenty info about it on the Subcity front page, basically it's in a secret location, there's gonna be 3 rooms of music and it'll be amazing...
Oh and DJ Assault's playing there.

artistry in rhythm - sun 22nd march 2009 12-2 pm
Hey folks,
Back to reality, and the old internet only for Journeys. So sad, so sad. :)
This week's show is a tiny little toe-dip into the multi-layered and often unintelligible world of jazz. I'll be playing some jazz greats that you can tap a foot to, rather than anything too challenging (I don't listen to that kind of stuff myself, so why 'inflict' it on you guys, eh?!).
Artists likely to feature include Miles Davis, Django Reinhardt, Antonio Carlos Joabim, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Herbie Hancock, Masters At Work and a few more I haven't even thought of yet.
This week's Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of jazz covers of Nirvana songs. Yes, jazz covers of Nirvana songs. Jazz artists have always played versions of the popular tunes of their day, and these dudes had no problems leaping aboard the grunge bandwagon for a while - purely in an effort to broaden the appeal of jazz to the 'yoof', you understand:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txVSX_DOrpI
1. The Bad Plus - Smells Like Teen Spirit
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv3v-Hx2LJ8
2. Charlie Hunter Trio - Come As You Are

Formed at just a pinch over a year ago Washington Irving are still a fresh faced group of musicians gradually making a name for themselves on the musical circuit. Now weeks away from releasing their debut single, and with a growing reputation, Washington Irving pop into Pop Goes The Revolution this Thursday for a chat, to choose a few songs and to play live from our green room.
Expect some classic chat and some brilliant music as we wave goodbye to the FM signal and give you good reason to come back next week at www.subcity.org.

back for seconds
Many meals ago an ancient prophesy on the back of a Shreddies box foretold the coming of a man whose hunger could never be locked up. A man whose appetite for food was matched only by his appetite for victory. A man who gross consumption would attain legendary status across the globe. A man they would call 'The Stick'.
Over the past three weeks 'The Stick' has watched on as six young compeatitors have steaked a clam at his apple crown. Now it is time for his return from retirement in Wednesday night's munch-anticipated pay-per-spew Eat To The Beat - The Last Supper. The Grammed Final will see a fatal four-way between Zoe 'Killergrams', Thin Joe Evans, Shaun 'Sweet Tooth' Murphy, and John 'The Stick' Burns all eating a mystery food over 45 gruelling mineats. The winner will be crowned the 2009 Eat To The Beat King-Size Champion.
If you want to eat along at home you'll need to live near a supermarket or 24 hour shop. We'll be putting up a clue as to nature of the mystery food about an hour before the show on www.subcity.org/shows/rockislandline As soon as that clue goes up I'd recommend dashing down to the shops and stocking up on as much as you think you can eat.
If you want to join us in the studio for some pundeatry, or fancy being one of our team of plateside analysts, then get in touch by emailing jannik@subcity.org
That's the unmissable Rock Island Line - Wednesday 6-8pm on www.subcity.org and 106.6FM (for the last time this year).

Add this to the best classic Hip Hop heard all year on Subcity and a live set from Mahrooq of the stupid idiots. Solar Gold.

nine leaves interview: exclusive for the show
The Real Hip-Hop Hour // 17.03.09
This is an exclusive interview with New Jersey based hip-hop group Nine Leaves for The Real Hip Hop Hour. Make sure to check their tracks out in the episode aired on 17th March. This interview is taken with the groups lead MC Zack Hemsey and their manager Abran Maldonado on the 11th of March.
1) Although "Peace in Death" is your second album you are a relatively new group to most listeners so would you care to tell something more about the group and yourselves. Shape the image by how you want your group to be percieved by listeners.
ZH: Nine Leaves is a hybrid of hip-hop and dramatic / emotional music. There are no meaningless song concepts. Instead, listeners will always find purpose in the music - it's not that every song has a "message" or anything, but rather, that every song is expressing something specific. It may be a fictional narrative; it may be a re-telling of a true account; it may be a social commentary... Whatever it is, it's always engaging.
AM: I think listeners gravitate towards our music because of the emotional depth underlying each song. For the most part people don’t expect songs to strike a chord within them the way our music does. Our lyrics are vivid and poetic and unfortunately that’s a stark contrast from most music today, especially Hip-Hop, so when people hear our songs it usually stops them in their tracks. As if they’re hearing something that is more than just music but a message meant just for them.
ZH: Basically, we don't follow any formulas. When I write music, the only requirement on my part is that it moves me. If that means the song doesn't end up fitting into a nice radio format, then so be it. I'm not concerned with any of that.
2) How did you come about - when did u decide to form the group?
ZH: Without boring readers with too much detail, the basic story is that the lyricists of the group had been regularly working with each other, when Abe wound up hearing some of my music. He approached me with the proposition of working together to create a fusion of sorts. At the time, I knew nothing about rap music, and from the little that I had heard I was not a fan... but the concept intrigued me. And it didn't take long for these guys to expand my horizons so to speak, and for me to see that hip-hop can be just as diverse as any other genre.
AM: Nine years ago we were just kids realizing our abilities as emcees, we all had a true appreciation for lyricism and Emcees out there that mastered the craft. I met Zack and once I heard his music I knew that he had to be a part of our collective. As much as we all loved Hip-Hop, there was something special about the music he composed. Rap beats make me wanna write songs about the block and things of that nature, but Zack’s music makes you want to write songs about life, where I’m going and where I’ve been. His music had a similar affect on the rest of the crew, and the rest is history.
3) Your music has recieved many labels, what do you think is your place in the hip-hop world?Where do you take inspiration for the sound of your music?
ZH: I'm not entirely certain that our music belongs in the hip-hop categorization, believe it or not. Obviously, it is hip-hop... but the reason I say this is because there are such heavy stereotypes associated with hip-hop, and while they obviously don't apply to everything in the genre, the fact remains that before people even hear us, an assumption is made as to what we're about. But at the same time, where else would you put us? Pop? Experimental? To be honest, it doesn't really matter to me how people categorize us, nor is it important to me how we are perceived in the hip-hop community... all that matters is that people are open to something unique, and that our expression connects with listeners.
AM: I’ve seen Hip-Hop grow from the beginning and its very much a part of who I am as a person - the same goes for the other emcees…but the music we make is exactly that, just music. We’re not trying to make Hip-Hop. You hear those elements because it’s the language we speak as emcees and it’s in our roots. We are the evolution of Hip-Hop; we are the existence of Hip-Hop in a non-Hip-Hop realm. Hip-Hop is very compartmentalized and the tendency is to place a label on you to make sense of where you’re from or who you rep’, but the fact of the matter is that we don’t belong in any existing box in Hip-Hop… not with the underground cats, not with the conscious rappers, and definitely not with gangster rappers. But they all can relate to our songs and nod their heads just the same. We’ve essentially made our own lane and we’re cool with being different. Because at the end of the day…Real recognize real.
ZH: As far as what inspires us, that is different for each member. Personally, film score and heavy metal have been my biggest influences growing up (and still today). Composers like James Horner and Hans Zimmer, and bands such as Tool. I currently listen to a lot of Ray LaMontagne, and I think he might be the world's next messiah. I've also recently gotten into Colplay a lot too. But it's interesting that all of my biggest influences come from artists outside of hip-hop... I suppose that makes sense.
AM: Honestly, Zack’s compositions inspire me - they already have the emotion embedded within them. All we have to do is give the songs a voice and a means to articulate what you’re feeling when you hear the music. Real life has a funny way of showing up on paper though… What you’re going through in life always finds a way of dictating your music. Zack’s music doesn’t allow you to ignore your emotions - if anything, it brings them to the surface.
4) The tracks on your new album sound quite diferent from one another. What is the general message behind "Peace in Death"? How would you like the album to be remembered?
ZH: Yeah, the tracks off this album are quite varied, but they all work very cohesively with one another. The basic idea behind "Peace In Death" is that most things in life are out of one's control... there's nothing you can do to stop that hurricane from destroying everything in its path.. nor can you redirect the tornado that is headed for your house... nor can you stamp your feet and demand that the cancer that is consuming a loved one reverse its course. It doesn't have to refer to concepts as grand as these, but the essence of the idea is hopefully clear enough - it's being faced with something outside of your control and not being afraid to look it in the face.
AM: I’m not afraid to say this is a classic album and will be around for a long time. The concepts and messages transcend across boundaries and is appreciated by people young and old alike. The idea of being at peace with a death in your life, either literal or figurative, is a scary yet all too familiar concept, and it touches people around the world. These songs have the power to touch your life deeply, and music fans know you can never forget a song or album that has that affect on you. It stays with you forever…
5) Can you name some of your inspirations for taking up hip-hop as a field of expression?
AM: When you grow up with Hip-Hop in your life, it becomes very much a part of who you are as a person. For the emcees, a pen and a pad, and an instrumental were our only means of expression. Our styles as emcees come from a variety of influence. We all bring a different dynamic to the equation and we all have a great deal of respect for lyricists who take the art seriously, such as Jay-Z, Mos Def, Common, Pharaoh Monche, Black Thought, Lupe, Kanye and Aesop Rock. Ultimately, our drive comes from each other… We’re very competitive and try to beat each other out for spots on songs. We challenge each other and have high expectations of one another. It’s made us all better and we’ve all come into our own as men as well as songwriters.
ZH: Obviously for me, I come from a different place than the rest of the lyricists. But while I don't consider myself to be a part of hip-hop culture, I do obviously utilize its lyrical form of expression. It's quite ironic actually - a guy who never listened to or enjoyed rap music grows up to spearhead a hip-hop collective and winds up adopting a significant role as a lyricist himself. Life is certainly unpredictable... And the most poetic aspect of this is that the inspiration that led to me embracing this lyrical form of expression predominantly stems from the other lyricists of Nine Leaves... I was being inspired by their expression as we worked together in those first 5 or 6 years.
6) What is your opinion on mainstream hip-hop?Has it gone too far away from the true sound and purpose of this type of music? What would you name as real hip-hop?
AM: I think Mos Def said it best when he said Hip-Hop is the reflection of the people. If we’re at war then Hip-Hop is at war. If we’re materialistic and fixated on sex, money and drugs then the same can be said about Hip-Hop. Once we change our priorities for the better, then I assure you it will have a residual affect on Hip-Hop. Our music is the result of who we are as people. Hip-Hop is family to me and when you love someone unconditionally you learn to look past the phases they go through and accept them for who they really are. I know Hip-Hop all too well to be swayed by what’s going on right now… it will pass. Someone who’s caught my attention recently is Joell Ortiz - look out for him. You feel the essence of real Hip-Hop in all of his music; he brings me back…
ZH: I'll throw in my two cents here... I don't think one can attach an ultimate purpose to any genre of music. Music is music, and hip-hop is no exception. To me, the very definition of music entails only the basic requirement that it express something on the part of those performing and creating it. So, this is to say, that whatever one's opinion of mainstream hip-hop, it cannot be in virtue of some higher purpose beyond what I've just stated. It's purpose, or more accurately, the way it's being utilized may have changed significantly over the years, but that's to be expected... music evolves... cultures evolve...
7) Tell us more about your European tour - when and where?
AM: We're currently putting together a publicity tour throughout Europe, to be followed by a more extensive performance tour this fall. It's a little too early to pinpoint exact dates, but it will all get nailed down in the coming months.
8) Where do you guys see yourselves 5 years from now?
ZH: Hopefully in a position where I'm making more music. I've never been one for the life of the rich and famous, but I do hope that things progress such that I can continue to do what I do... that's really all I care about.
AM: This is what we’re meant to do, so this is what we should be doing. We should all hope to be secure, stable and self-sufficient, not only as artists but as businessmen.
9) How does your music reflect your lives? Do you support the notion that hip-hop should come from real-life experience?
AM: Most definitely, music should reflect life’s experiences, whether it is yours or an experience the listeners can relate to. I wrote “Apt. A9” not based on a personal experience, but based on an experience that is very real and heartfelt. The song wrote itself, and it felt like it was supposed to be written. There are some amazing storytellers in this group and we pride ourselves on being creative and imaginative, something I feel is missing in Hip-Hop today.
ZH: Everything a person creates comes from somewhere. The idea that one can create a body of work that doesn't stem from something inside of them I think is false. Yes, a person can create fictional accounts that seemingly have no basis in their real life experiences (as we have done in certain songs), but such conjecture is only possible, and will only be moving, as a result of something in the creator that connects with that conjecture. You know what I mean? There's no way around it... specifics may change, but emotion is consistent. So it's not that hip-hop, or music in general, should only talk about circumstances that actually happened to the writer in question, but rather, that the writer must empathize with those circumstances... because if he or she can do that, then it's the emotion that is driving the work, and that will always be genuine.
10) What is your opinion about hip-hop in the UK?
AM: It’s free of the many labels we deal with in the states, and it’s free to just be Hip-Hop. I’m feelin Dizzee Rascal, The Streets, Roots Manuva, and of course M.I.A. People recognize the diversity within our group and I think it will be embraced in the UK along with our unique sound.
11) Finally can you tell our listeners why should they choose your album instead of any top 10 album?
AM: Simply put, you will never hear anything like it in your life. Its real music made for real people. Like I said before, this album will go down in history as a Hip-Hop classic, but most of all, it gives people hope to know that there are still artists out there who refuse to compromise their art for fame and fortune. We’re not concerned with fame, we just want to tell you a story…
ZH: I don't know that management will like my response to this question, but here it goes.... Listeners should choose whatever album moves them... if that means choosing another album to purchase instead of "Peace In Death", so be it... they have my blessing. This is not a contest, and I take no pleasure in the thought of individuals being coerced into picking an album up to find that they've been deceived. Now I'm being overly dramatic here, but the point remains the same... Here's where the listeners stand... If they want to play a CD that is going to make them smile from ear to ear, jump up and start dancing...and go across the street to their neighbor's house to tell them that they're great human beings and that they should come join the party taking place inside their house - then don't buy "Peace In Death". Similarly, if you're looking for that feel-good upbeat type of music, or music with a smooth and sultry vibe that you can put on in the background while you try to entice another person into having sex with you, then don't buy "Peace In Death". But.... if you want to have 59 minutes of music that will move you in ways that I can't actually predict...music that will expose feelings in you that you may not have realized were there....and music that will inspire and uplift you in unconventional ways... If that sounds like something you would want, then I say go out and pick up "Peace In Death" on iTunes or CD Baby, and then shoot me an email and let me know what you thought.

exclusive interview and track - cheap as chimps
Exclusive interview with glasgow's finest underground Dj and Producer. Signed by Bad Advice and with much props from Ministry of Sound hmu loves him and we think you will too.
So we've had a few chats but we thought we'd ask him a few questions so our lovely hmu listeners could get to know the man himself. This is when HMU interviewed Tom aka Cheap As Chimps
HMU: where did you get the name cheap as chimps?
CAC: My dad came up with it..i was pretty influenced by the basement jaxx sound when i first started making music and i wanted a cheeky, light-hearted name to fit the quirky style of the music. After all, music should be fun so i didnt want a name that was too serious... also, my 9 year old brother featured on one of my first tracks 'speaker dirt'..he's a cheeky little monkey so the name just stuck..!
HMU: so you won ministry if sound competition last year - did you find it helped a lot in thrusting you into the public eye?
CAC: totally - having a name as big as ministry of sound behind you makes you stand out from the heap of other bedroom djs/artists out there..my first artist EP was also sold exclusively by ministry of sound download for a while so that helped boost my profile. People take me a lot more seriously too when I mention Ministry of Sound. Sad as it may be, the music business revolves a lot around name-dropping. but my competition mix took a LOT of preparation to make sure it would get their attention..and to KEEP your name in the spotlight you have to continue to make that effort. Nothing comes for free.
HMU: would you recommend potential djs get on that?
CAC: as far as i know, the dj competition was a one-off - but there are competitions like that all over the place..Everybody and their grandma is a DJ these days so winning a competition like that is a perfect way to set yourself apart from everyone else. obviously, the more competitions you enter the more likely you will win..finding the time is the problem though!
HMU: wot is your favourite club banger (would absolutely make your night out) and your most loved chill out tune?
CAC: Banger - Rico Tubbs - 'Gangsters'...no track should be without the odd gun shot sample! it never gets old! Chilled out - still house but its progressive house from the 90s. totally perfect for a beach setting : Medway - 'Resurrection' HMU: itunes or beatport? CAC: Beatport. I always buy wav quality files. It's nice to know i have the sub-bass there if i should need it. Stompy and Junodownload are good too. HMU: vinyl or cd? CAC: There is no denying that vinyl is cool. but it costs more than buying singular tracks and then burning them to CD. When i first started djing I didnt have the cash to buy both vinyl decks AND CDJs, so I went down the cd route and now i wouldnt consider using anything else. I like making edits of my tracks too, so I need the tracks to be in a digital for that too.. HMU: allen and heath or pioneer (mixer)?
CAC: Oddly, i bought my allen & heath after getting a recommendation in the VIP toilets at Fabric. (Just to explain, I was down in London cos Sasha was playing in the main room and i was catching up with a few friends in the toilets as it's for both men and women, they have a sofa and you can have a conversation without shouting!) Anyway, some random dude started having an in-depth discussion with a friend of mine about the virtues of the allen & heath mixer versus other mixers on the market..all the chat about low frequency oscillators kinda went over my head at that time ...but I gathered that they were well-built mixers that would guarantee a very high sound quality.. Anyway, I opened DJmag later that week to find that Allen and Heath mixers are John Digweed's mixers of choice. That kinda sold it to me. I bought my allen and heath xone:32 as my first mixer and its never let me down. The pioneer mixers are good too but we all have our preferences! HMU: headphones?
CAC: Sennheiser. My neighbour was a sennheiser salesman. enough said. HMU: sandals or flip flops?
CAC: flip flops. HMU: tim james or hennessy?
CAC: I'm gonna have to go with tim james. he gave me my first big gig at Subclub and has always played quality tunes whenever i have heard him play. HMU: favourite club you've played in and why?
CAC: The Flux gig @ Subclub - no contest. not the biggest crowd i've played to but the soundsystem is just unbelievably good fun to play with and everyone was totally up for a good time. Until (one day!) I play at Fabric, it will probably be the best soundsystem i get my hands on! it felt like an honour to be behind those decks too, considering the caliber of Djs that have played there HMU: craziest story from a night out (remebering its on the radio!)? CAC: I was living in copenhagen. had untold amounts of jaegerbombs and mojitos and fell asleep on the bus home. The bus driver woke me up at the end of the line. It was 5 in the morning and it was another 2 hours until the next bus back. With nothing else to do, i had a walk around the place. I wondered what was shimmering behind the trees ahead of me..It turned out to be THE SEA. I was about 2 hours away from where i lived and I was right next to the airport..I ended up trying to find the entrance to the airport cos a storm was fast approaching (no joke!) but it turns out that airfields are pretty big things!...i wandered around disused airhangers next to the ocean to no avail. got soaked and then after and hour of aimless wandering i turned back and got the bus home. Unfortunately I did the same the following week but the bus was going north, not south that time! At least i saw some scenery. HAC: where can we find you in the next coming months? CAC: In the studio mainly - aka my bedroom. I have a few label offers and i it would be good to get some more tracks out soon. Then I can relax for a while and get back on the DJing side of things.
listen up! 'The way I feel' will be out on Mindtravel recordings (Italy) in the upcoming months! Also the Greenskeepers remix of 'Hold my hand' will be out soon too.. Check out Tom's myspace for the latest tracks: www.myspace.com/cheapaschimps

sweet soul music - sun 15th mar 2009 - 12-2 pm
Hey folks,
This week's show is the last FM broadcast, on 106.6 FM in Glasgow, for Journeys for this run.
The show is also probably the last 2-hour Journeys for a while as well.
I'll be playing a selection of music from 60s soul and r'n'b legends such as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Nina Simone, Sam & Dave, Sam Cooke, Gladys Knight, Solomon Burke, Aretha Franklin, Al Green and The Temptations, as well as some lesser known belters.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is at least making some attempt to be relevant this week; by featuring two groups who owe a lot to soul and r'n'b, but who ended up making Hip-Hop:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkWKwRuDRes
1. Public Enemy - Who Stole The Soul
One of the best, Public Enemy have been on the go for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages. This is a great, but fairly obscure, track from their 1990 album, 'Fear Of A Black Planet' - a classic.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QalWgriTPOo
2. The Pharcyde - Soul Flower
From the other side of the US comes this Fatback Band-sampling gem; another example of what Hip-Hop should sound like.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.
***********NOT REALLY THAT NEW ANYMORE***********
If you are on Facebook you can now join the 'Journeys Radio Show' group! I'm just getting to grips with the whole Facebook thing, but it'll be another place to let me know what you think, make suggestions/recommendations and to link to information about and streams of the shows.

fm party warmup...
Next week is of course Subcity's End of FM party, where Subcity is ending its month on the FM airwaves with Detroit ghettotech legend DJ Assault alongside several of the stations' own DJs and presenters including myself. To get you in the mood for it, tonight's show will be stuffed full of the sort of tunes that I might be dropping on the night. Expect a few deep or funky tracks, some more full-on bass driven techno, and a healthy dose of tech-house grooves - in other words a selection of thoroughly danceable records that'll be providing a more subtle alternative to the full-on booty bass in the next room (although I advise you check out all 3 rooms, too much DJ talent to miss!)
Remember tickets are now on sale from Glasgow Uni SRC and Rubadub, it's looking like it'll be a very special night so get in there before it's too late...

world exclusive as she said welcomes pat nevin!!
Well you lucky people, it doesn't get much better than this as the She Said team finished Subcity Radio's FM broadcast in style. This week we welcomed former Kilmarnock, Motherwell, Everton, Chelsea and Scotland winger Mr Pat Nevin on to the show. As well as picking a pile of tasty tunes, Pat entertained us with tales of glamour and excess and some special memories of John Peel. It was noisy, it was gripping, it was special!!

mfp vs the fans
Music For Pleasure // 07.03.09
I know it's a horrible thought but this is the last MFP of the FM broadcast. For our last show Music for Pleasure is all about you our listeners. We've been taking suggestions on how to fill an hour of airtime for a few weeks now and have now prepared an entire show suggested by you. There's going to be some classics, some more dubious tunes and the ultimate Phil Collins experience along with a few surprised.
But fear not, if you've not got your suggestion in yet there's still time, you can still have your voice heard. Is there some aspect of charity shop vinyl that we've been ignoring all these months? Is there a song we've played before that you want to hear again? Should we have played track 3 instead of track 2 off that Rod Stewart album last week? Is the Mystery Bag Mega mix perhaps the worst idea ever committed to radio. Any thoughts, suggestions or ideas you have will be taken on board.
On the day we'll be taking down a massive pile of records and taking requests on the day. If you get your suggestions in early either on the subcity forum (in the banter section) or on the Music for Pleasure facebook group, we'll do our best to make your dreams come true.
And if you don't suggest anything it may just end up being an hour of dead air, and what a waste that would be.
For more ideas you can listen to all our old shows or check the playlists.

Expect loads of electro-trashy-queercore-disco beats, and a sneak preview of the next edition of LUYD magazine, out in April. Touch it!

electro was always the bomb
The Kid Zipper Show // 09.03.09
The word electro is pretty ubiquitous these days. Pretty ubiquitous but a bit of a misnomer for the music it is used to describe. Now I am by no means claiming to be the guardian of the definition but I feel I want to take a moment to address what electro means to me. Join me for a little trip from the 80s through to the now encompassing some of my favourite electro tunes.

just desserts
It's time for the third qualifier of our ongoing Eat To The Beat tournament, where we'll find out who will book the final table at The Last Supper? Shaun 'Sweet Tooth' Murphy puts his teeth on the line with condensed milk, as his opponent George 'The Gorger' Pearson celebrates his heritage with a cornucopia of Cornish pasties. Shaun is out for revenge having been pipped to the post by John last time on fizzy-wizzy strawberry sticks, whilst George enters The Oven for the first time hoping to unsettle his adversary with a blend of meat, vegetables, pastry and spices. Who'll be able to stomach this horrendous combination?
If you want to eat along at home you'll need the following (per person):
2 x 397g tins of condensed milk
7 x "Jumbo" Cornish pasties (270g each on average)
1 x emergency dentist
1 x preheated oven (for those desiring the easier hot pasties)
Don't miss out on your final chance to win some hearty leftovers. Also on the menu is Jesus Says No, and an after-dinner selection of musical treats.
So tune in for this week's Rock Island Line, 6-8pm Wednesday, everywhere on www.subcity.org, and on 106.6FM in the west of Scotland.

In a last minute change of show, this week the Other Side, in celebration of the Nevereverland gig at the Arches on Friday the 13th, will be looking at the history and artists of the dynamic Modular label which is putting on the show. Undoubtedly one of the more interesting and dynamic labels around at the moment, over the last ten years this Australian label has put out some of the most exciting, and popular music while also changing its own face to fit into today’s image conscious music industry. From the history of founder Steve Pavlolic to the enormous success of the first Living End album to the Avalanches, and more recently The Presets and Ladyhawke we’ll be taken a proper look at everything Modular in preparation for Fridays show.

the lafontaines in the subcity studio (at last)
Pop Goes The Revolution // 12.03.09
Fresh from a headlining slot at the ABC2 and on the verge of releasing their anticipated debut EP, The LaFontaines arrive in the Subcity studio this week on Pop Goes The Revolution for a special one hour show.
Quickly rising up the ranks of the Glasgow music scene, and receiving praise from sources ranging from local radio to The Sunday Times, The LaFontaines seem to be winning respect and adoration wherever they land and play their eclectic combination of genres that has become their now distinctive sound.
Not only will The LaFontaines be in the studio joining George and Nikki in the usual Pop Goes The Revolution banter,choosing a few tunes, and answering any questions people have, but they will also playing a few acoustic tracks live on air from within our tiny studio.
And as a final bonus to listen in, if you listen in live to the show you can win a signed EP as well as a tshirt from the band themselves. So remember to tune into 106.6fm or www.subcity.org
From here the band already have a slot supporting Beardyman at his sold out King Tut’s shows, as well as a showing at this year’s Homecoming festival alongside the likes of Reverend & The Makers and The Enemy. With the amount of attention currently focussing on this band, and with their reputation for playing some stunning sets and quite frankly the best stage banter known in Glasgow, be sure to tune into The LaFontaines showing on Pop Goes The Revolution, this Thursday at midday, or anytime on Listen Again.
Radio won’t know what’s hit it…
A few quotes worthy of note:
“It shouldn’t work, but it does. The LaFontaines are the real deal” - Rachel Devine (The Sunday Times)
“The LaFontaines make Glasvegas sound like they come from Bearsden” - Tom Morton (BBC Radio Scotland)
“The LaFontaines keep it fresh with a fresh hybrid style that rocks hard!!” - MC Lars

Subcity Presents... // 07.03.09
Subcity Presents brings you a gem of a show tonight, with the boys from the Sub Clubs masisvely popular Optimo night giving us an exclusive recording of their recent gig in melbourne. If the Sunday nights at Optimo are anything to go by, this will be brilliant. As stated on their website -
"while there will be sections of the night when the dancefloor is being rocked by the latest disposable dance / pop hit, you are also likely to hear music that you are unlikely to ever hear in any club anywhere"
The sound at Optimo is truly diverse, it's just good music that makes you want to dance.

the glorious return of rock action heros errors
Fresh from gallivanting around Europe with Mogwai and shortly before taking off on their travels once more, Rock Action living legends Errors returned to their favourite radio show. As ever, they brought some cheerful tunes, indulged in some dodgy patter and shared one or two rock and roll adventures from their recent travels.
Here's what some folks had to say about their last appearance in November:
"Frankly, Errors make Barry Burns sound like an amateur musician, I must have them support us in Europe, I'm going to make it happen" - an apparently drunk Stuart Braithwaite from Mogwai.
"Jings, I never realised Greg was American, thanks She Said" - Simon from Errors speaking from his sick bed.
"Being so close to Errors was a truly arousing experience, I may never chat to a girl again" - Derek, She Said presenter.
Tune into She Said on Saturdays from 6-7pm.

beat beneath vs ruin it: dubstep special
Tonight is a very Friday night as myself and Whoa!gan (Ruin It) are joining forces to provide two hours of the finest dubstep around with each of us delivering our takes on one of the most exciting and unique genres of recent years; fusing 2-step garage influences, drum and bass rhythms and grime's grit with a healthy dose of dub reggae spaciousness and a pinch of techno sensibilities.
10-11pm sees myself ditching the usual 4 to the floor beats for a 100% dubstep edition of Beat Beneath, showcasing my recent favourites including a look at the more techno-infused side of the genre, then at 11pm Whoa!gan takes over the decks stepping things up a gear with the type of bass-heavy and breakcore-inspired madness that you know and love him for.

journeys sampler - sun 8th march 12-2 pm
Hey folks,
Due to ill-health, I have spent precisely zero time putting the show together so far this week.
However, with necessity being the mother of invention and all that, I have decided that round about about now would be a good time for a round-up of the shows so far.
So this Sunday sees a 'Journeys Sampler' of tunes that I loved from the past 18 shows so far, and some that didn't quite make it to air the first time around.
Expect everything from Funk to Reggae to House to the Blues, and a bit of everything else so far covered.
Expect Femi Kuti remixed by Kerry Chandler, King Tubby, Rotary Connection, Asha Bhosle, Herb Alpert, Simple Minds, Howlin' Wolf and many more.
The Weird But Wonderful choices are an attempt to redress the vote from way back in the 5th show; where I pitted a couple of my least favourite Roy Ayers tracks against each other. This week it's two cracking Roy Ayers written and produced RAMP songs which feature:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Mk4OyoPEIc
1. RAMP - Daylight
Written with long-time Ayers associates Edwin Birdsong and William Allen, this was sampled for A Tribe Called Quest's 'Bonita Applebum'.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7wjBwjsVDo
2. RAMP - Everybody Loves The Sunshine
Now a Roy Ayers classic, this was recorded by him just a few month's before being laid-down by RAMP - with Ayers at the controls. Also sampled for a hip-hop tune, this tme by PM Dawn for 'So On & So On'.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.
Alternatively, you can check them out and email me back here.

This episode of Subcity Sessions will take place on Thursday 05th March at The Research Club, 13 University Gardens, 8-10PM (free entry, limited space) and of course on 106.6 FM and online.
The Brutes // The double Gordons & Jim have played in a vast array of bands, including The Sinster Urge, Bangtwister, The Campus Tramps, One God Universe, Glen Or Glenda, Macrocosmica, a Black Flag covers band called Six Pack, The Underground Apes, The Golden Guineas, Bug Powder aka Cold Sick, Bulb, Bubblewrap Holocaust, Trousered, The Grease Monkeys, and The Poison Sisters. Godfathered by The Troggs, The Brutes play raw garage punk that hits you right in the face. It's not pretty, but it's not supposed to be either.
The Phar'i-sees // Straight from Subcity's Saturday Shakedown come The Phar'i-sees, a 60s influenced garage rock band that would have made Ed Cobb proud. Subcity Sessions has seen them live on several occasions and their performance gets better and better every time. Listen closely for the song 'Mantrap' which is Sessions' absolute favourite. In addition to their own, great material, The Phar'i-sees usually also play a couple of good covers, like The Standells' classic 'Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White' and the epic 'Have Love, Will Travel' by Richard Berry.

everybody talk about: popolo music
New York, London, Paris, Munich, Glasgow... Wherever you are you won't want to miss this week's episode, as I'll be joined in the studio by the fantastic Popolo. They'll be choosing tracks, hopefully including some of their own blend of math-rock/pop wonderment. #1 Record this week from Pavement; Fantomas make us cower behind the sofa in terror; and this week's Magnolia is dedicated to the late great Elliot Smith.

a beginners guide to black metal
Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites // 06.03.09
In an effort to educate as well as entertain we've decided to provide listeners with a guide to the oft misunderstood genre of Black Metal.
We'll take a look at he origins of the sound in bands such as Venom and Bathory; study some of the lore surrounding Dead's suicide and the infamous church burnings; peruse some Black Metal from non-Scandinavian bands; and finally investigate how some bands have evolved their sound outside of the traditional mold.
No goats will be harmed during the making of this show.

high street fashion revolution
Pop Goes The Revolution // 05.03.09
This week, instead of our original planned broadcast we will broadening our pop culture horizons and looking into the world of high-street fashion.
Our inaugural FM session’s second Cliff List battle brings the battle of the high street stores as we give you the chance to vote for Britain’s worst high street clothes shop. Whether your fed up with everything falling apart from Primark, the pretensions of Topshop, or whatever your hatred at the high street, now is your time to cast your vote and remove one.
With only a 24 hour open voting session before the show, every vote does count, so make sure to get voting by any of the usual ways. The Facebook group, the MySpace page, the Bebo page, the Subcity forum or email popgoestherevolution@googlemail.com to cast your vote.
As a very quick recap of the rules. The two leading stores at the time we go to air on Thursday will make it through to the on-air final where they fight for the last few votes until one of them is finally pushed off a cliff at the end of the episode.
Also remember to tune in for the return of Nikki’s News and a plethora of good songs from the likes of De Jour, French Wives, Baghdad Country Club, Look See Proof, Dumb Instrument and a host of other great independent and unsigned acts from around the UK and beyond.
Hope you listen in this Thursday.

the main course
This week sees round two of our ongoing Eat To The Beat tournament, and after Zoe's astonishing win last week who knows what may happen. David 'Gastronomic Grey-Area' Jackson will be filling his self-proclaimed massive gob with After Eights whilst his opponent Thin Joe Evans stomachs the nasty industrial scale cheese. David returns in style to the show, having previously beaten John at lemon curd tarts, whilst Joe makes his debut in what could be the most sickly of matches. Just how do you eat cheese, mint and chocolate together?
If you want to eat along at home you'll need the following (per person):
1 x 1kg slab of Mild Cheddar Cheese
4 x 300g packs of After Eights (or cheaper equivalent)
1 x ambassador costume
1 x cheese knife
There's also another chance to win yourself a sack of tasty leftovers.
We'll divulge in another game of Jesus Says No, and have tracks from Auteur Jazz, The French Wives and Brother Louis Collective.
That's this week on Rock Island Line, 6-8pm Wednesday, worldwide on www.subcity.org and for the weegies, 106.6 FM.

cave of night and tunnel under the world
Subcity Sci-Fi News: 2038 // 05.03.09
The professors are off to a sci-fi conference so they've told me (the Ghetto Scientist) to put on these old school reels of sci-fi goodness. Then me and Gemma will be droppin' some heavy beats all over the place, hopefully they'll fit together when they hit the ground.
Feature 1 is Cave of Night, a scary story about NASA conspiracies to get more funding. Freaky yo.
Feature 2 is the terrifying Tunnel Under the World. What is actually going on when Guy Burkhart keeps repeating the same day over and over and over again? Why is everyone having the same dream? Why are Guy and Henry Swansong the only ones who can feel the repetition? Terrifying yo.

techno times
After last week's toned-down celebration of all things deep, this week's Beat Beneath goes straight for the jugular playing an onslaught of full-on techno tracks from Europe and America's finest.
Although the techno genre is as wide and diverse as it is misunderstood, tonight's show is all about the banging tunes that are best suited to dark sweaty rooms, warehouses and abandoned industrial spaces. If you're in the mood for getting your Friday night off to a flying start or just want to spend an hour dancing around your room then tonight's Beat Beneath could be well worth your time. Expect stripped-down grooviness, unbridled filth and downright silliness courtesy of such people as Marc Houle, Phil Kieran and a couple of German guys who managed to pack out The Arches quite recently...

wha's like us? - sun 1st march 2009 - 12-2 pm
Here's tae us, Wha's like us? Damn few, And they're a' deid, Mairs the pity! (Trad. Scots drinking toast)
Hey folks,
This week's show is a little different from the norm, as it is not inspired by whatever I happen to have mostly been listening to for the past week; but rather by a listener suggestion.
Maureen Robertson got in touch with me and said 'why not do a Scottish show?', and, since Journeys is based in Scotland, I'm a Scotsman and there are loads of great Scottish artists out there, I figured why not indeed?
In fact I'm a bit shocked that the idea never even occurred to me!
I'll be playing the best of Scottish pop, rock and indie as well as whatever else comes to mind. Artists likely to feature include Primal Scream, Lulu, The Beta Band, Donovan, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, The KLF and The Jesus & Mary Chain amongst many more.
The Spotlight this week is on the funkiest band ever to come out of Scotland; The Average White Band. Formed in Dundee in the early 70s, AWB produced a series of classic JB's influenced tracks and enjoyed international success including a number one single and album in the home of funk itself. I'm not going to be doing anything too clever; just playing a few of their best tunes.
The Weird But Wonderful vote this week is between two best selling Scottish pop acts, with a vague footballing connection:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7zRZBs1CHw
1. Deacon Blue - Dignity
It's about a boat called Dignity that is in fact a cunningly disguised metaphor for dignity. Drummer Dougie Vipond has since gone on to become a regularly seen face on Scottish televisions, often fronting football and other sports related shows, and is without doubt one of the worst television presenters in the world. Female vocalist Lorraine MacIntosh is now one of Scotland's worst actresses. Frontman Ricky Ross has written songs for and with James Blunt, Ronan Keating, KT Tunstall, David Sneddon, Gareth Gates and Emma Bunton amongst others. Quite a legacy for one band.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U28qdnx3fiY
2. Wet Wet Wet - Wishing I Was Lucky
'The greatest white soul act ever' some 'people' said. Possibly hysterical Scottish tabloid journalists. I have to admit I was genuinely excited as a nipper, when I first heard this song was by a Scottish band. Then I found out more about them (and chirpy-cheeky-chappy lead singer Marti Pellow) and heard their subsequent efforts. This lack of interest on my part and Marti's well-publicised drug troubles hasn't prevented them from having monster hits around the globe and still being together and tourng to this day. They were the shirt sponsors for one-time Scottish Football League side Clydebank FC for a bit. See, told you they had a vague footy connection.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

your starter for ten
This week sees the beginning of the munch anticipated culinary event of the year - Eat To The Beat. Our quest to find the king-size champion begins with three qualifying matches, the first of which sees current VP Comms Zoe 'Killergrams' take on failed VP Comms candidate Alan 'The Food Mountain' Gardner. Alan goes into the fight with an unbeaten record in the competition and a diet-fuelled lust for chocolate raisins, whilst the rookie Killergrams has opted for a high-density food in baguettes in an attempt to throw the veteran off his massive stride. Who will make it through to fight for the title at The Last Supper?
If you want to eat along at home you'll need the following (per person):
6 x 200g bags of Mister Choc Chocolate Raisins
5 x plain white baguettes (typically 250g each)
1 x bucket (empty)
1 x St. Johns ambulance crew (standing by)
Tune in live for your chance to win the leftovers from each fight.
We'll also be playing Jesus Says No, alongside music from The Brother Louis Collective, The Big Eyes Family Players, JJ Cale and Rilo Kiley.
That's Rock Island Line, 6-8pm Wednesday, on www.subcity.org and for Greater Glasgow listeners only on 106.6 FM!!

subcity presents... full phat
Subcity Presents... // 01.03.09
Full Phat returns for his second Subcity Presents of the year, and if his set at our Launch Party at the Art School is anything to go by, it will be a cracker.
Full Phat is yet another of Subcity Radio's old friends, from back in the day when he used to have a show on the station, right up until now, where you will still be able to find him at our events, usually topping the bill!! You may remember Full Phat from his sizzling performance at the Subcity stage at the West End Festival, or more recently at our September Research Club party and FM Launch Party.
Catch him up live this Sunday, the 1st March, or listen again if you can't. It's sure to be a belter.

Kicking off the FM series of Subcity Sessions is Argonaut Sounds, one of Subcity's longest running shows, spinning top-rankin' dancehall and ragga outta Jamaica, mixed in with a dose of heavy roots and dub, and a sprinkling of ska, soca and rocksteady.
Ten-piece ska band Bombskare travel from Edinburgh to deliver an amazing live performance on the eve of their album launch. With a charismatic front man, a tight band and a four-piece brass section, Bombskare have been described as 'The Blues Brothers on speed crossed with Madness on Prozac'.

the young and the restless
Well, well, second FM show already. This week we’re doing the first in a disjointed 2 part series. In a few weeks the show will take a look at the absolute classic, definitive songs that have shaped and influenced the Australian and New Zealand music scenes over the last 50 years. But this week we’re looking at the opposite; brand new bands still on their training wheels but showing real promise. Perhaps they won’t become the next Crowded House, but for the moment bands like Art vs Science, The John Steel Singers and Yves Klein Blue are doing a lot to get people excited and we’ll check out why.

may we have a word?
It has taken four months and the pressure of an FM broadcast for Rara to make good on our promise to bring THE WORD to The People: watch out as our brand new format takes over the shape of the show as we loosely mold proceedings around the flimsy backdrop of a crossword.
Sound intriguing?
Laura will try to untangle the closely knit chat and watch tangents explode all over the FM airwaves.

movie special 2: fm with a vengence
firstly, big thank-yous all round if you were at sleazys on saturday for the latest installment of the bottle rocket club night. it was one of the best yet from my perspective, and i hope it was just as fun for those of you cutting rug on the dancefloor. the playlist for the eve is up on our brand spanking new blog www.bottlerocketglasgow.blogspot.com, where it'll be joined by a few photos of the night in the next few days. ch-ch-check it out.

i love it here
Pop Goes The Revolution // 26.02.09
Now that the Subcity signal has finally found fresh air, and is no longer confined to live underground in the usual ‘series of tubes’ that take it to your computer via the world wide web, we’ve decided that we quite like it on FM. The enjoyment of tuning the little radio to track down the Subcity waves scurrying through the air looking for a radio to talk to.
Therefore, here at Pop Goes The Revolution, we’ve decided we’re going to stay. Of course the problem is there are already a lot of these radio station type things hanging around clogging up the skies and having their waves knock each other out. Therefore, we’ve decided the only way forward is that one of them must go, and be forced off our Cliff to join the other things we’ve taken a disliking to.
After all, the things already sacrificed to our cliff need some form of radio entertainment, something has to broadcast to all those involved with Cliff Richard, The NME, Crocs, Eastenders, Box, The SECC, Sarah Palin, Costa Coffee, Facebook, I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, The Waitresses, The Darkness, HMV and Brad Pitt.
So who shall entertain them and be gotten rid of once and for all. The Cliff List returns and is already poised to grab a radio station and make sure that it meets its cliff based doom.
For those who don’t know the rules, they’re simple. You nominate any radio station that you feel is the worst to have to put up with, then the two with the most votes are announced on air. The two then keep their votes and then have one more hour to fight it off on air for their survival as the votes continue to accumulate throughout the show. Then the radio station with the most votes at the end of the show is pushed off our metaphorical cliff and left to be forgotten.
Hate something? Push it off a cliff.
So, vote now. You can do this in many many ways. Either:
Go to our Facebook: ‘Pop Goes The Revolution’, join it, and vote there.
Go to our bebo: www.bebo.com/popgoestherevolution, join it and vote there.
Got to our MySpace: www.myspace.com/popgoestherevolution, and send us an email there.
Email us at : popgoestherevolution@googlemail.com
Or, last but certainly not least, click the comment on this episode tab at the bottom of this page, and you will be whisked away to the happy poll officially dedicated to it on the Subcity website.
Welcome to the cliff list. Now it’s up to your to tell us which radio station you hate the most and tune in at 106.6fm or www.subcity.org this Thursday to find out which radio station is declared Britain’s worst.

bombskare + argonaut sounds!
Argonaut Sounds// Kicking off the FM series of Subcity Sessions is Argonaut Sounds, one of Subcity's longest running shows, spinning top-rankin' dancehall and ragga outta Jamaica, mixed in with a dose of heavy roots and dub, and a sprinkling of ska, soca and rocksteady.
Bombskare// Ten-piece ska band Bombskare travel from Edinburgh to deliver an amazing live performance on the eve of their album launch. With a charismatic front man, a tight band and a four-piece brass section, Bombskare have been described as 'The Blues Brothers on speed crossed with Madness on Prozac'.

Posted at 00:47, 23rd February 2009
the phar'i-sees + the brutes!
The Brutes// The double Gordons & Jim have played in a vast array of bands, including The Sinster Urge, Bangtwister, The Campus Tramps, One God Universe, Glen Or Glenda, Macrocosmica, a Black Flag covers band called Six Pack, The Underground Apes, The Golden Guineas, Bug Powder aka Cold Sick, Bulb, Bubblewrap Holocaust, Trousered, The Grease Monkeys, and The Poison Sisters. Godfathered by The Troggs, The Brutes play raw garage punk that hits you right in the face. It's not pretty, but it's not supposed to be either.
The Phar'i-sees// Straight from Subcity's Saturday Shakedown come The Phar'i-sees, a 60s influenced garage rock band that would have made Ed Cobb proud. Subcity Sessions has seen them live on several occasions and their performance gets better and better every time. Listen closely for the song 'Mantrap' which is Sessions' absolute favourite. In addition to their own, great material, The Phar'i-sees usually also play a couple of good covers, like The Standells' classic 'Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White' and the epic 'Have Love, Will Travel' by Richard Berry.
This episode of Subcity Sessions will take place on Thursday 05th March at The Research Club, 13 University Gardens, 8-10PM (free entry, limited space) and of course on 106.6 FM and online.
Posted at 00:46, 23rd February 2009
mike tv + the lie detectors!
The Lie Detectors// Probably Scotland's, and one of the UK's, best pop-punk band are Glasgow-based The Lie Detectors. A recent review says 'Lookout records and their ilk would cream themselves if they seen these guys. They're that good. It's all in your face, full pelt, out of control fun... The best benchmark for a band is if anyone watches them thinks I wouldn't mind if they ran through that again right now. The Lie Detectors can do that to you'. Their second album 'Monster Munch' is right around the corner, and their first is available for free download (!) on their myspace page (www.myspace.com/theliedetectors).
Mike TV// On tour from England comes Mike TV, catchy pop-punkers that often visit Glasgow. “This band has huge charisma, guitarist Jhon spends as much time off stage as on and they're loads of fun.. They should be huge, take the chance to see them.. They're a fantastic band and you'll have a brilliant time” said Sandman Magazine recently. Having toured and played with huge bands such as Guttermouth, The Dickies and The King Blues, Mike TV should be a familiar name to punk fans. Their new, self-titled album is out now on Banquet Records.
This session will be pre-recorded when the two bands play The Twisted Wheel Sunday 15th of March, get down there and be a part of the final Subcity Session for the FM broadcast!
The session will air on Thursday 19th March 8-10PM on 106.6FM and online.

la quadrature du net - squaring the internet
In today's Jus de Pomme I talked about the civil rights organisation "La Quadrature du Net". As promised, I've put up the links to all the sites I mentioned.
In order to understand the problems of copyright in the context of modern technology, I recommend Lawrence Lessig's talk on the "Intellectual Property in the Digital Economy" at Stanford University. Particularly the mid part is quite important to understand why copyright legislation
To learn more about La Quadrature, you can watch their talk at the 25C3 (roughly 500MB, see the 25C3 website for alternative formats and other talks).
La quadrature's Website is at http://www.laquadrature.net/. Its Wiki will give you the voting record ("Political Memory") of all MEPS on the issues La Quadrature is fighting for. Thus, I have looked up all MEPs for the Scotland Region and compiled a list of their voting records:
- David Martin (Labour)
- Ian Hudghton (SNP)
- Struan Stevenson (Conservatives)
- Alyn Smith (SNP)
- John Purvis CBE (Conservatives)
- Elspeth Attwooll (Lib Dems)
- Catherine Stihler (Labour)
It is not easy to compare the overall scores, but it seems that SNP MEPs were most supportive of La Quadrature's cause. This is probably explained by the SNPs membership in the "Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance (Verts/ALE)", who are generally sympathetic to La Quadrature's aims. The Conservative's relatively low performance is not surprising, but I was expecting more from the Liberal Democrats, whose record is only mediocre. The same is true for Labour MEPs. Particularly Catherine Stihler has an exceptionally poor voting record regarding Internet legislation, supporting industry's demands over citizen's. Her colleague David Martin (Labour) as well as Elspeth Attwooll (Lib Dems) at least supported the rejection of graduated response ("three-strikes approach"). Even the conservative MEP John Purvis voted largely against the patentability of computer-implemented inventions, so-called "software patents", which pose a major threat for small business and open source developers who do not have the resources to fight off lawsuits by patent trolls or build up an own arsenal of patents to protect themselves against competitor's patents.
Feel free to browse La quadrature's website, to make up your own mind. Unfortunately it contains a lot of complicated legal language, which is probably unavoidable. But we, as citizens of the European Union, have to understand it. For otherwise we will not be able to lobby for our own rights. Mind you, European Parliament Elections are coming up and your MEPs will happily talk to you. Send them E-Mails or call them up in their offices. La Quadrature has all their contact details. Tell them about your thoughts and concerns, and if they don't have time or try to appease you, by telling you that "everything's fine" then call again until they are willing to listen. This not only applies to legislation regarding the freedom of the Internet but many other things too: Agriculture, culture, security, money, employment, your phone bills, etc...
Mind you, it's our democracy. It's far from being perfect, particularly when it comes to the EU. But we have to use at least those few pathways that we already have before we will hopefully get more.

gospel and garage
Does Not Affect Play // 27.02.09
This week I'll be turning my attention to two genres I don't play as much as I should - gospel and garage. Both genres really deserve their own special edition of the show, but as I'm pushed for time I've had to wedge them together. Will it work? Tune in on Friday to find out.

fizzy pop goes the revolution
Pop Goes The Revolution // 26.02.09
This week with Nikki unfortunately missing in action on the road to pop culture revolution, she will be unable to make Pop Goes The Revolution’s landing on FM.
However unwilling to let this affect our revolutionary momentum we have called up another participant from the ranks to help take charge this Thursday. This week, as a one off special, George will be joined by Hannah from the Subcity show Electric Lemonade (www.subcity.org/shows/electriclemonade). Rest assured though, that the show will continue it’s usual style. We will continue to introduce more songs by excellent independent and unsigned bands from around the country that no one has heard of, we will have the usual break down of all the pop culture and arts in our fair city over the coming week, another new and exciting film review from our specialist Becca, and last but not least the Cliff List lands once more (details of that to arrive on Monday).
So join George and Hannah from Electric Lemonade this Thursday as Pop Goes The Revolution goes all FM, as for one week the show becomes Fizzy Pop Goes The Revolution…
…did you see what we did with the names there? Fizzy… Lemonade… get it?

eat to the beat - the rules
Well here you are munch fans. All the rules you'll need for the upcoming Eat To The Beat contest.
1. All foodstuffs will be measured in an equivalent unit – Nibbles of Matter (or NOMs).
2. Each foodstuff carries its own NOMs per g. These have been determined through rigorous testing. (Details of these can be found below.)
3. The competitor who has consumed the greatest total NOMs by the end of the bout will be declared the winner.
4. 25% of each compeatitors total consumed NOMs must be constituted of their opponents chosen foodstuff.
5. In the event a compeatitor fails to consume 25% of their opponent’s chosen foodstuff their total score shall be capped to four times the NOMs they have consumed of said foodstuff.
6. Vomiting results in instant disqualification.
7. No foreign condiments are permitted.
8. Food may only be consumed within the eating arena.
9. Water may be consumed freely by compeatitors, however it cannot be purposefully mixed with any foodstuff.
10. All compeatitors assume full and sole responsibility for any adverse health or dental affects directly or indirectly caused by compeating.
And the all-important NOM values
Bread - 1 NOM per g
Chocolate Raising - 1.3 NOMs per g
Mild Cheddar Cheese - 1.5 NOMs per g
After Eights - 1.3 NOMs per g
Condensed Milk - 3 NOMs per g
Cornish Pasties - provisionally 1.5 NOMs per g (subject to further brand specific testing)
Well I guess that's it in a nutshell. Let the contest begin.

pre-fm blow-out
Warning: this week's episode of Suck My Left One may include bad language, glamourising of drugs, violence and anti-social behaviour, and explicit sexual content (all within context and appropriate to the audience and hour of broadcast, of course). It may also contain material offensive to minority groups (but only facists and homophobes, we hope).
In the final episode before FM broadcast begins, and anticipating the eagle-eyed scrutiny of OFCOM, Kate and Olivia attempt to get it all out of their system. Those offended by facist-killing and lesbian rimming may wish to skip this one.

beat beneath on 106.6 fm!
As you may well have heard by now, Subcity Radio is going to be broadcasting on the FM airwaves (as well as the usual online ones for all the non-Glasgow-residents) for the next four weeks on 106.6MHz so get tuned in!
The broadcast kicked off today so of course I'm going to be pulling out some of my best records for the next few shows, with each week having a different genre-based theme. Tonight's show is the Deep edition, playing the very best recent deep house and techno as there's been so many good deep dance tracks coming out lately that they easily deserve a show devoted to them. Expect funky, subtle and moody tunes from the likes of Efdemin, DJ Koze and Joris Voorn.
As always if you can't listen live you'll be able to listen back to this episode and all previous ones so don't worry if you're already out by the time the show kicks off.
Posted at 18:26, 20th February 2009

One show down, and it's time to get ready for the 'difficult 2nd show'...

Tune in to Sound System again next Friday to start your weekend early, whether you wanna skank like a rude boy or pogo like a punk - it's gonna be a belter!

fm launch party
No show tonight as Ruin It are bringing all kinds of Bass to the Art School! But never fear the airwaves will not be silent for long, Break Outta Glasgow are doing a two hour special instead.
Normal Ruin It service resumed next week.

back in my day...
Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites // 20.02.09
Since it's our first show of the new FM broadcast we though we'd do something a bit different from the usually banter and semi-random tunes.
We've been into metal for a while now so we though we'd play some old-school bands. But to make things a bit more challenging all of the track on this show will be by bands that were around at least 10 years ago and are still producing good music.

the perfect cure to the post art school hangover
Music For Pleasure // 21.02.09
As Paul and Joe wil be celebrating the FM launch at the Artschool on Friday, they've realised they may be a little worse for wear by Midday on Saturday. Therefore tune in to Music for Pleasure presents: Sex, Drugs and Bacon Rolls, An hour of chilled out second hand vinyl from throughout the ages mixed with tales of debauchery and high jinx from the launch night. Inevitably there will also be a shiny disk somewhere in there and the suerreal masterpiece they like to call the Mysterybag Megamix.

selecta selects - sun feb 22nd 2009 12-2 pm
Hey there folks,
This week's show is the first FM Journeys of the year, available on 106.6 FM in Glasgow.
The show continues to be available world-wide at www.subcity.org.
It's a Jamaican Journeys this week, with a full 2 hours of the finest reggae, ska, dub, rocksteady and whatever else I manage to fit in. Artists likely to feature include Bob Marley, Augustus Pablo, Big Youth, Dillinger, Count Lasher, Otis Gayle and Ernest Ranglin amongst many others.
The Spotlight is back during the FM run and will be on Lee 'Scratch' Perry.
Perry is often portrayed as the mad genius of dub, and that's pretty much what he is, as far as I can tell from everything I have ever read, heard or seen about him!
Getting his start with Coxsone Dodd (of Studio One fame) in the 1950s, Perry's ability was always evident. Unfortunately so was his fractious temperament and he left after yet another argument over money. He went on to record at Joe Gibbs', before setting up his own label, 'Upsetter Records'.
He went on to build his own studio, Black Ark, in the 70s and more or less single-handedly created the international appetite for dub reggae, with his backing band The Upsetters (made up of many musicians who went to become legends in their own right, including brothers Aston 'Family Man' Barrett (bass) and Carlton Barrett (drums), of The Wailers).
By the late 70s he was in a bad way, due to the stresses and strains of the music business and a healthy appetite for drugs. The Black Ark ended up lying derelict before burning down.
He is still around though and has enjoyed a massive renaissance in interest in him and his music (especially that made with The Upsetters and his early recordings of Bob Marley & The Wailers).
I'll be playing a few of my favourite Lee Perry & The Upsetters tunes from his 70s heyday.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of American, generally non-reggae artists; both with highly successful international reggae hits to their name:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEtC4iTVVBw 1. Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5CdCdmj1go 2. Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry Be Happy
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.
Alternatively, you check them out and email me back here.

aloha from hell - a tribute to lux interior
An hour-long tribute celebrating the insane life and music of Lux Interior, frontman of infamous psychobilly punks The Cramps. B-movie camp, comic book gore, trashy burlesque and leather-clad rock and roll were all trademarks of The Cramps' sound and image. They spawned a million imitators but Lux remained one of the most uniquely derranged performers in punk. A sex-crazed satanic Elvis, Lux was also a renowned afficianado on outer limits rock and roll, amassing a huge of volume of surf, rockabilly, garage punk and far-out country records. Many of these records' riffs were 'borrowed' for Cramps songs, and a lot them were given a second life through the 'Born Bad' and 'Songs the Cramps Taught Us' compilations.
Sadly, Lux sank into the great black leather lagoon in the sky in early February.
RIP Lux.

bottle rocket takes over the basement of nice n sleazys this saturday (21st) to play tunes to make you dance dance dance. we start at 11:30 and we finish, exhausted but happy, at 3:00am.
if you've not been before, we play the kinda stuff you hear on our radio show (minus anything you can't shimmy or shake to) plus plenty more. we like to think we balance lesser known treats with a fair amount you'll recognise - last month included: billy idol, wire, we were promised jetpacks, bruce springsteen, modern lovers, kirsty maccoll, pixies, ra ra riot, los campesinos, the 6ths, david bowie, the concretes, the ballet, au revoir simone, the futureheads, prefab sprout, the smiths, abba, prince, the go-betweens, pavement - you get the idea... so come down and give it a go whydoncha.
we'll play some tasters for the weekend on the radio show this week, along with the usual mix of touring acts and new releases (including something from the rather excellent new charity compilation dark was the night). it'll be a right gid listen for sure.

Jean's Glasgow based label Sleaze has been going from strength to strength with releases played by messers Hawtin, Pierce and Houle. The wonderful Simon Stokes brings his much talked about live show down to the basement to round off the night with what can only be described as absolutely banging techno. Excite much.

Bigfoot's Tea Party // 16.02.09
Well that was the first show! Hope it went ok, felt a bit rusty but we'll sort it for next week.
In the future the tracks will have more of a structure, the shows focusing more on Glasgow artists and new releases from around the globe. Hopefully we'll have a news section and some more texts/emails to read out :)
Up coming guests include Telford (subculture) and Simon Stokes (monu digital).
Til next week! Bigfoot.

ol' warblin blues
Having had to put off this show for a couple of weeks now due to ‘technical difficulties’ (a broken computer) this week one can finally bring you one of the better episodes of the Other Side. The alt-country scene is huge in Australia and New Zealand at the moment and has led to a bunch of music far more interesting than just those pining for Ryan Adams better days or dreaming of Johnny Cash 30 years ago. Well be having a thorough look at it all in this episode (and welcoming in FM) with bands such as the Gin Club, Halfway and the Audreys.

Music For Pleasure // 14.02.09
Here at music for pleasure we love everything and anything when it comes to music, especially if it's on vinyl and second hand. Today, as it's St Valentine's day we thought we'd embrace one of our less well know interests, our love of all things crazy.
It's gonna be a bit different to the usual shows, far less cheese, far more nintendo and much much more wacko mentalness, while the odd pop classic may rear it's ugly head, tune in for an hour of Mike Oldfield, Shakespeare readings, random noise, electoplancton, sound effects, vangelis and more.
Once this is over we'll have got it out our systems and we can back to our comfort zone for the imminent fm broadcast.

flash got more bounce - sun 15th feb - 12-2 pm
Hey folks,
The show this week is a Grandmaster Flash special, in honour not only of his very welcome return to these shores, but also the new album he has coming out in March; 'The Bridge'.
Flash plays the Classic Grand in Glasgow on Easter Sunday (12th April), and, having seen him the last couple of times he's played there, I can highly recommend going along if you can!!
I'll be playing all sorts of early hip-hop and electro, a couple of mixes from 'The Official Adventures of Grandmaster Flash' that came on Strut a few years back, and a whole load of tracks that I've heard him use in his block-rockin turntable mixes. Artists likely to feature include, Blondie, The World's Famous Supreme Team, Cymande, Liquid Liquid, Curtis Mayfield and DJ Kool Herc.
The Weird But Wonderful is strictly Wonderful this week, as a couple of classics fight it out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny-zSZ62Ig4
1. Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five ft Melle Mel & Duke Bootee - The Message
According to Wikipedia, the song was written by Sugar Hill session musician Ed "Duke Bootee" Fletcher and Furious Five MC Melle Mel. Flash and the other members of The Furious Five, although credited on the record, were uninterested in recording the song and are not found on the finished record ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Message_(song) ). Flash definitely supplied the cracking B-side 'The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel', as well as his street credentials.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWOiljLW4Z8
2. Grandmaster & Melle Mel - White Lines (Don't Do It)
Another track that actually has very little to do with Flash (he had left the record label some time before, but Melle Mel added Grandmaster to his own name in an effort to retain some of that Flash aura). Apparently also written and produced by Melle Mel, it's a crackin tune.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.
Alternatively, you check them out and email me back here.

valentine soul, motown, funk and disoc
It's the traditional Funky Cuts sideways look and listen for Valentine's day. There are relics of St. Valentine in a church in the Gorbals and Glasgow still holds the title of City of Lurvve. We honour our romantic sides as well as the lying, cheating and mean mistreating apects of love and lust. You could say this is a show for romantics and it's also a show for anyone who's been dumped.

rockin' bones: farewell to lux interior
This week Kate and Olivia pay tribute to Lux Interior, who sadly passed away last week. That means lots of Cramps songs as well as a show full of the psychobilly trash-punk bands inspired by their acid/B-movie/comic book/rockabilly/punk aesthetic. We especially celebrate some of the all-girl psychobilly made possible by the ground-breaking music of The Cramps, such as Thee Merry Widows, The Deadutantes and The Formaldebrides. We also find some queer psychobilly, a genre whose time has surely come!
Here's to Lux, surely by now doing the zombie dance.

occupation of the subcity studio
Tonight on Rock Island Line we'll be holding a two-hour occupation of the Subcity studio until the university caves in to our demands for an end to Cheesy Pop's occupation of the QMU. Whilst we're camped out we'll keep the spirits up by playing music from Marion Black, Professor Longhair, The Roots and Bruce Springsteen amongst others. We'll also have our regular slice of film filth in Jesus Says No, and more announcements on the upcoming Eat To The Beat King-Size championship.
If you want to send your messages of support, you can stand outside the studio waving placards and shouting with a megaphone, or you can email studio@subcity.org, or text the word subcity then your message to 07766404142. Or if you want to join the protest come down to the studio and sit with us. (please bring snacks)
Peace and love to everyone.

Well HIYA,
This weeks show was cut early due to the generator for the bulding being turned of by some nincompoops. None the less, the tracklist has been done for this week so you can see where we got to before plunging into a relatively unnverving and silent darkness.
SpaCE.

whit a right fruity bunch!!
So, usually when Derek's left to his own devices, he dances round the studio naked, rejoicing in his own company. However, bereft and inconsolable with Allan off to the mountains, desperation drives him to invite local noisy reprobates United Fruit into the studio for a bit of music and chat. And would you believe, they turn out to be lovely people with damn fine taste.
Enjoy....

missing in action
Due to unforseen circumstances neither Ali or The Revenge could make our weekly pilgrimage to the Subcity Studio today. So instead we're giving you the chance to hear our new DJ mix of mid-tempo gems, which was made for our good friends over at the Trackwerk site. Have a listen and if you think it's a keeper then head over to www.trackwerk.net to download for posterity ;)

the red carpet... to a cliff
Pop Goes The Revolution // 12.02.09
Yes, it’s time for the Oscars, the annual celebration where the world’s most overpaid actors gather to celebrate the films that made them millions in a grand hall of extreme smugness.
However before they get to go to the pretty glitzy award ceremony we have to determine who can go. Due to the credit crunch there are not enough seats at this year’s Oscars for all of the Hollywood elite – they are apparently, one seat short. So we are going to remove that one extra person, by determining who is the most irritating and placing a large red carpet in front of them, and slowly guiding them along it until they plummet off our cliff.
Yes, this is the cliff list.
Nominate the most annoying actor/actress in Hollywood and the leading two will battle it out over the show until the loser is pushed off our glamorous cliff.
So, who in Hollywood gets your goat? Is it the child catcher Angelina Jolie, the inevitably irritating Brad Pitt, or everyone’s favourite man with one facial expression – Elijah Wood.
It’s up to you. Get nominating now. Reply to this post, join our Facebook, email on MySpace or email us directly at popgoestherevolution@gmail.com.
Tune in on Thursday to see who gets pushed off…

resuming normal service...
It's a much busier fortnight for gigs in Glasgow, following a relative drought over the last month or so.

Hope some of you will listen in

hungry for more?
Eat To The Beat will be returning for a special one-off tournament throughout the upcoming FM broadcast. We’re looking for six brave/foolish munchers to put their tums on the line in the ultimate culinary challenge.
What is Eat To The Beat you say? It’s the single most successful radio-based long period tactical eating competition in Scotland. Originally invented to assist my severely underweight co-presenter gain a few much needed pounds, Eat To The Beat developed into a competition that turned the stomachs of a nation. Each week John and his challenger would eat as much as possible of a particular foodstuff over a 45-minute period. Having acquired the title, the Islands Cup, and just over a stone over the course of 20 gruelling competitions, John “The Stick” Burns hung up his cutlery for good. But now as his weight tumbles he’s come back for one last bite at the title.
This special competition will take place over four weeks with three qualifying rounds on the 25th Feb, 4th and 11th of March, followed on the 18th March by a no-holds barred 4-way final to determine the ultimate Eat To The Beat King-size champion.
If you want to enter you need to send an email containing the following details to jannik@subcity.org The food you want to eat and, in no more than 50 words, why you think you will be the first Eat To The Beat King-size champion. If you want to compete you must be available on Wednesday nights between 6:30 and 8pm on the 25th Feb, 4th, 11th and 18th of March. Full details of the rules for this special competition will be published in the next fortnight.
For some top advice on what foodstuffs to avoid listen to last week’s episode of Rock Island Line. All entries must be in by 17th February. A live draw will be held on Rock Island Line on the 18th of February, competitors and hecklers are welcome to join us for this.
Eat To The Beat – eat fast, die young.

that hammond sound - sun 8th feb - 2-3 pm
Hey folks,
This week's show is a celebration of one of the funkiest and yet most often derided of instruments; the Hammomd organ.
Invented in the 1930s by Laurens Hammond as an electric alternative to the traditional (and expensive to maintain) wind-driven church pipe-organ, it soon found a place in the hearts of musicians of every persuasion. Starting off in Gospel, Blues and Jazz, by the 1960s and 70s it was almost ubiquitous amongst Rock, Funk and Soul acts too.
Despite ceasing production in 1974, the original electro-mechanical Hammond organs (mostly the B-3 & C-3 models) are still in use in their thousands today.
The Hammond has appeared on thousands of tracks by hundreds of artists of all kinds. Yet it still retains an abiding association with that most foul of creations; Muzak (an ill-deserved reputation that it shares with the vibraphone).
Whilst I was putting the tracks together for the show, I listened to just about every tune I have that involves heavy use of one variety or other of the mighty Hammond and Gillian (my wife) asked if I was really going to do a show of 'lift music'! Charming! But actually not unreasonable, given that I was listening to a cheesy Hammond cover of some 1960s pop standard or other.
My intention in this show is to (mostly) avoid the kind of tracks that you'd expect to hear accompanied by a robotic voice saying, 'Going Up. Lift stopping. Fourth floor.', or similar, and to instead play a crackin' selection of funky, rocky and soulful Hammond grooves.
Artists likely to feature include The Beatles, James Brown, The Spencer Davis Group, Jimmy McGriff, Billy Preston, The Small Faces and Charles Kynard, as well as a host of others.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of fairly 'recent' exponents of the Hammond-heavy sound:
1. The Charlatans - The Only One I Know - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZI1BQzY-nU
Not only did I soooo dig this when it first came out, I even tried to grow the exagerrated mop-top sported by Tim Burgess. Class.
2. The Inspiral Carpets - Joe - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7lRFUCjVz4
Remember when everyone wanted a pair of British Knights trainers? Then you must be almost as old as me. :) (I believe that this song actually features a Farfisa organ rather than a Hammond, but I did say 'Hammond sound'!)
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

shorter episode!
Big Hello! As Allan wasn't able to make to the studio on 5th of February, the show is slightly shorter (as Kacper writing this words was not able to make it for three o'clock either). So, if you are listetning back - don't worry, just skip first 21 minutes and 40 seconds and you shall hear some beautiful sounds from The Cinematic Orchestra (or my scary voice). If you can hear it - you're there!

suck it and see
This week's Suck My Left One showcases some older queer/grrl/lady music that we've loved on the show over the past year... shouty punk from the likes of The Baby Shakers and Comanechi, an 11-minute proggy wig-out from Sleater-Kinney, and some classic Patti Smith, plus a wee taster of folky lesbo spoken word acoustica from The Zorras who will be gracing us with a live session next month.
Get in touch if you have requests for the FM shows (we'll be going out on Thursdays 10pm from the 19th of March). World, beware.

stuff that's not normally our cup of tea
Pop Goes The Revolution // 05.02.09
Expect a genuinely different show this week...
For once we're going to strip away and take Pop Goes The Revolution into genres it's never really previously looked at. We'll be playing all the tunes we love that don't normally come under the thin Pop Goes The Revolution umbrella and sheltering them for an hour of airplay this Thursday at midday.
Expect a fair amount of folk, a touch of modern funk, some gypsy punk, something deangerously close to hip-hop, some funk rock, and possibly even some ambience music... we're contemplating it as we speak.
Tune in tomorrow for a fairly ecclectic Pop Goes The Revolution, while we get all our other musical loves out of our system before launching ourselves next week into another cliff list, those long wished for movie reviews and an exciting preview of PGTR's fm plans.
However this week, sit back and enjoy the stuff we love that's not normally our cup of tea.
Tune in at midday...

Rock n Roll Meltdown // 05.02.09
YO! ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN is on again this THURSDAY 5-7pm only on Subcity.
Listen in to some rather fine, if slightly disturbing rock n' roll based tunes and strange mutterings from Pete and his imaginary guests. Perhaps you've got some kind of crazy request of a punk, garage, psychedelic, glam, sleazy or dirty rock n' roll tune?
Email it in and it might get played unless it's some kind of corporate rubbish or unnecessarily twee:

THATS THURSDAY 5-7pm, AYE?

winter warmer
With the weather being unbearable and the BSB being kept on the lockdown, Sam and Matin bring you one of the most chilled out shows so far. Expect new tracks from Bombay Bicycle Club, Melodica Melody and Me and Bon iver to take your mind of the wind and the snow.
Spin also showcases some of the newest Scottish Talent, with tracks from The Twilight Sad, We Were Promised Jetpacks and even a set from Twin Atlantic that was performed live in Matin's front hall.
We round up the show in true Spin style however, with tracks from Foamo, TC and the fantastic STARKEY.
So, as always....
ENJOY

Yes we're back on air tonight from 6-8pm. We'll be talking about The Superbowl, snow and the economy, and Scottish politics.

We'll also be playing Jesus Says No, and making a big announcement.

Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites
For the FM broadcast we will be moving to a new time slot. As of next week (9th Feb.) the show will be on 6-7PM on Fridays. I think that officially makes us a drive-time show so we'll probably have to play some Girls Aloud and talk about Big Brother...er...nah, I think we'll keep to Cannibal Corpse and what would happen if you made t-shirts out of antimatter.

desperately seeking
Rummaging around Rara mansions we stumbled upon a book of poetry. Other than a slightly stubbed toe (ouch) we recieved an insight into the childhoods of 400 'Young Poets' from Central Scotland.
Were you Laura Hamilton, Stuart Mower or Andrew Nichol from Bannockburn Primary School? Perhaps you know Paul Wilson, Sarah Baxter or Nicola McIntosh from Bothkennar Primary? Do you STILL hate Mondays, Ruth Cape? Does your dad still live with a hippie at the bottom of the street, Nicolette Spence of Bridge of Allan?
Rara would like to conduct a 'Where are they now?' for all those who have dedicated literally minutes of their lives to bettering the literary world.
Have you got any childhood poetry hidden in some anthology somewhere?
Well BRING IT OUT and let us read it on air!
We will be returning to the concept in a future show: get in touch via rara.subcity@gmail.com or via the forum.

And possibly other French Wives, in which case we can have our first ever live session (!). Expect music of the usual sky-shattering superbness, from Fleet Foxes, Os Mutantes, Nirvana, our #1 Record this week 'Now I Got Worry' by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, and whatever Chris (Barclay) wishes to inflict on us. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet.

There'll be plenty of more moderate selections throughout the show as well. I hope some of you will join me later on,

so, er, bottle rocket didn't play on saturday after all (some mix up with sleazys management double booking upstairs) so, yeah. but nuts & seeds looked after us: we got to see some great bands (particularly triple school) and do some killer dance moves later in the night. not to mention being invited to lend a hand for a few songs later on - fyi, if you ask a very drunk rocketeer to play some songs at half one in the morning, you better be ready for billy joel, journey and nena. cos thats how we roll.
this week's show will have some more chit chat bout nuts & seeds records, gigging bands, atp and the SNOOOOOOOOOOOW! of late i've been forgetting to play the bands i've been promising in these news posts, but i promise to try harder. you deserve nothing less than the best from us, really you do. so i'm gonna aim for galexie 500, wolf parade, pit er pat and something else from the wake the president album.

brimful of asha - sun 2nd feb 2009 - 2-3 pm
Hey folks,
This week's show is dedicated to everyone's favourite playback singer, the Queen of Bollywood; Asha Bhosle.
According to Wikipedia, Ashaji has been the singing voice behind hundreds of film performances and thousands of songs; from filmi music to Classical Indian, pop, ghazals and qawwalis - in over 14 languages including Hindi, Urdu, Bengali and, her own native tongue, Marathi.
I'll be playing a selection of my favourite bits of her Bollywood repertoire, so expect heavy funk, sitar rock, Indian pop and a really groovy hour.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of British-Indian crackers:
1. Panjabi MC - Mundian To Bach Ke
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7ab9wUcxoFQ
I'm pretty sure it's not exactly cool to like this song, but I f*ckin' love it! :)
2. Cornershop - Brimful Of Asha (Norman Cook Remix)

This week: a summation of why 2009 is shaping up to be the suckiest suck that ever sucked, and it's only January 30th. Mick Harvey leaves The Bad Seeds, Ron Asheton and John Martyn die, and the Silver Jews split up (possibly because of the seemingly endless cycle of violence between them and Arab Strap. What? Oh.)

goodbye silver jews, hello nuts & seeds record
mike will return after wowing the world with his "jokes" last week for a show that will:
1. shed a tear over the passing of silver jews,
2. continue to get prematurely excited for all tomorrow's parties,
3. look forward to this saturday's nuts and seeds record launch at nice n sleazys (at which BR may do a spot of djing upstairs - to be confirmed...)

1. Silver Jews (obviously),
2. Wolf Parade and
3. Triple School,

the compact disk conundrum
Pop Goes The Revolution // 29.01.09
The holidays have seen the Cliff List be dormant, sitting back, waiting to strike once more...
However this Thursday, we are proud to say, is the epic return of the Cliff List...
As Zavvi goes under, we see it as our responsibility to make sure that the CD industry continues to have some life left in it. However we are all truly aware that those of us with any actual interest in music generally hate the majority of places that sell CDs.
So here is your oppurtunity to rid the world of another CD outlet.
The main criteria for judging are simple, we're looking for the shop that: is the most commercial; costs the most; has the least range and stock; plays the worst music in it; has the most ignorant employees; and generally gets you so infuriated that everytime you walk in there you wonder why it Fopp was the first place to go bankrupt and why the world ever had to lose Solo music in Truro.
So people, get nominating now. The range is endless. It can be anywhere that sells CDs - whether that's the Supermarkets that tab it on the end of their shop, like Tescos; the internet shops that plagues you with comments such as "if you like this, you might like this", before offering you something you'd rather vomit on than listen to, like Amazon; or the high street stores who are supposed to be good at things like this, but just aren't, like HMV.
Comment on the episode on Subcity, vote at Facebook, vote at Bebo, email us at MySpace, PM me on the Subcity forum, go to the poll on the forum and vote, send an email to popgoestherevolution@gmail.com.
There are so many options - quite frankly there is no excuse for not voting at least ten times. So get voting now ladies and gents and let's finally get rid of Britain's worst CD seller.

Does Not Affect Play // 23.01.09
In a break from normality there's no theme running through this week's show, however there is probably the best playlist of the series so far. Going from hard funk and uptempo rnb to ominous drone and lush ambience this episode is a real case of chalk and cheese.

cover charge - sun 25th jan 2009 - 2-3 pm
Hey folks,
This week's Journeys is a bit of a strange one...
As a young fellow I abhorred the cover version. Mainly because those that I was most aware of tended to be by dreadful, middle of the road performers, who I despised for their very existence. Their modern equivalents are still plying the same vile trade - so many decent (and not so decent) songs murdered by the likes of Take That, Atomic Kitten, Girls Aloud, Westlife and Geri Halliwell. Don't even get me started on the whole Radio One 'Live Lounge' thing. Awful (I mean who wants to hear Keane singing 'Dirrtylicious' - a hellish clash of Christine Aguilera and Destiny's Child and f****ing Keane!?!?!?*). It's enough to make your blood boil.
On the other hand, there were a whole stack of great tunes that I only ever got to hear of because of the awful cover version that hit the charts...
And there are some really good, less obvious covers out there...
So, to cut to the chase, I have decided to confront my prejudices head on, and am devoting the whole show to the art of the good cover version.
Artists likely to feature include Isaac Hayes, Jackie Wilson, Canned Heat, The Byrds, Happy Mondays and Talking Heads - covering the likes of The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Al Green, Robert Johnson, The Temptations and more.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of the most well known & often covered songs ever;
1. Dolly Parton - I Will Always Love You http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=MPD-4HZtahM
From Whitney in the Bodyguard to every Karaoke machine in the Known World, this must still be the most sung song since 'Happy Birthday'.
2. Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WJTiXoMCppw
Lucky enough to be chosen as the 'X Factor' single this year, this song has also been covered innumerable times. Jeff Buckley did a great version. Alexandra (X Factor 'winner') not so much...

the big easy - sun jan 18th 2009 - 2-3pm
Hey folks,
Journey's is back, back, back. Again.
I'll be back on the air this Sunday with a soulful gumbo of New Orleans legends.
Artists likely to feature include Fats Domino, The Meters, Lee Dorsey, Professor Long Hair, Eddie Bo, Earl Palmer, Louis Armstrong and more.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of very mainstream New Orleanians:
1. Harry Connick Jr - She http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=UOumzTnDxq4
From his 'New Orleans funk' album. So, not swing and featuring some great New Orleans session players, such as Zigaboo Modeliste (Drums) and George Porter Jr (Bass Guitar) both founder members of The Meters - but still not that great...
2. Randy Newman - You Can Leave Your Hat On http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=G-A5kD1rZII
Actually Born in the City of Angels, Newman moved to New Orleans as a child and spent his formative years living and then regularly visiting the Crescent City. Responsible for the soundtracks to such artistic visions as Toy Story, Monsters Inc and Cars; Newman also wrote this song - made famous by Tom Jones and The Full Monty.

post-january br chat
a massive thank-you to everyone who came down on Saturday night to make our first Bottle Rocket of 2009 so much fun. a few tech issues (i.e. only having one deck at first) meant our opening half hour or so was fraught with tension, but a red stripe or four soon relaxed me and the night flew by! if anyone wants to join our facebook (name: bottle rocket dancing club) the playlist for the night is up now for your perusal.
the busy dancefloor and well-wishers also welcomed Mike to the fold, and he'll be making another Bottle Rocket debut this week when he'll join me in the studio for chat about the clubnight, plans for the future and probably something or other about ukeleles. music-wise, think orange juice, of montreal and bruce springsteen.

There was a dog called Camilla She ate dill with herring and tortillas. Camilla was a fat dog, you couldn't say she was healthy. Camilla had to eat.......and lots of pizza
Shut up dog!
(Something about Camilla nearly dying because she got trapped in a door and that she had a sweet tooth and ate loads of ice cream)
Shut up dog!

But in the end, Camilla had to say goodbye. She had high blood pressure because she was soo very fat. Grandmother cried....... Grandmother screamed....

The Shiny Disco Ball // 17.01.09
Jack Archer is back with another mix for "The Shiny Disco Ball!"
His fourth mix in this show's history is definitely worth tuning in for - it goes from electronica, into funk, soul, disco, Italo-disco, with a bit of jazz-funk for good measure.. and alot of sweet tunes I never heard before either.
Check it out live on Subcity this morning or through listen again.

prog house special... this time!
OK so you might be aware that last month's prog house special didn't actually happen due to illness... well it's coming up tonight!
It might not be the trendiest genre around at the moment but keep in mind Beat Beneath isn't about sticking to the most obvious or most current records - it's a show simply devoted to providing quality music of the electronic dance variety. Whether you were a prog head back in the day, a curious techno fan or someone who doesn't have a clue what makes a house record 'progressive', I've dug out a selection of smooth, melodic and funky tracks that are sure to please your tastes.
This is by no means a definitive collection or a 'classics' show and it's not going out of its way to give history lessons, but with records from Ozgur Can, Sasha, Jaytech and others (and strictly no deceased rodents in sight ;) ) the Beat Beneath Prog House Special aims to simply give you an hour of one of dance music's most emotional and living-room-friendly yet still thoroughly danceable genres.

*****************************************************
From Discogs:
Larry is revered primarily as the DJ and driving force of the famous club "Paradise Garage." With engineer Richard Long, he custom-designed the Garage's monster sound system and DJ booth, complete with audiophile Thorens turntables. Larry's brilliance lay not only in his technical skill and audio expertise, but also in his unique and eclectic taste. He confounded and greatly broadened the "rules" of what "dance music" could be, mixing everything from gospel, reggae, Philly soul and Euro-disco to rock ("Stand Back"/Stevie Nicks and "Eminence Front"/The Who, to name but two), post-punk ("The Magnificent Seven"/The Clash, and Talking Heads), ambient/environmental music (Klaus Schulze and Manuel Gottsching, for example), and just about everything else. He augmented this aural collage with disorienting sound effects and mind-expanding audio manipulations, working the crossover and balance controls to throw sound around the room as if it had a will of its own. Larry was a shaman who opened a sonic Pandora's box when he D.J.'ed, with all kinds of beautiful, scary and indescribably bizarre sounds careening around the room like spirits flying out of the Ark of the Covenant. Larry cut his musical teeth at The Loft, essentially the first underground, afterhours disco. Started by David Mancuso at the advent of the '70s, The Loft combined psychedelic culture with proto-disco music, which then consisted of longform, psychedelic-influenced soul ("Melting Pot"/Booker T. & The MG's, "Papa Was a Rolling Stone"/The Temptations, etc.), jazz-funk like The Blackbyrds, funky rock ("Woman"/Barabas, for example) and trippy head music like Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon." When "Paradise Garage" opened in 1976, Larry added gospel-and R&B-flavored disco to his musical menu. With Larry at the helm, the Garage embodied all that was beautiful about disco: glamour, unpretentiousness, excitement, hedonism, epiphany through music, black/white and gay/straight harmony, and the general concept of the dancefloor as family. Celebrities like Grace Jones, Keith Haring, Nile Rodgers, Chaka Khan and Madonna hung out and danced the night away along with thousands more of Larry's dedicated flock. As a remixer, Larry applied his inimitable touch to countless all-time club classics, including "Got My Mind Made Up"/Instant Funk, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"/Inner Life, "Can't Play Around"/Lace, "Heartbeat"/Taana Gardner, Gwen Guthrie's "Should Have Been You" and "Nothing Going On But The Rent" and many, many others. As a writer and producer, he helped create the sound of the innovative New York Citi Peech Boys and their seminal club hits "Don't Make Me Wait", "On A Journey", "Come On, Come On" and "Life Is Something Special," a joyous, mesmerizing celebration of life, love, and music. Larry's work has a spacious, epic, atmospheric quality, with a haunting blend of joy and pain. After the Garage closed in 1987, Larry kept a considerably lower profile, doing guest spots at various clubs, including "Studio 54," "Palladium" and "Mars," and D.J.-ing regularly at "The Choice," arguably the inheritor of the Garage's underground legacy. "The Choice" didn't have the grandeur of the Garage, but Larry made it his home, casting his psychedelic spell on a diverse crowd of devoted Garage heads and various other afterhours types. Although his remixing work (and, according to some, his spinning ability) diminished, there's no doubt that Larry, even on a bad night, was still infinitely more creative, interesting and unpredictable than any other jock around. It was that unpredictability that was the reason for many of his followers disenchantment by the mid-and-late '80's: it was also the reason that legions more literally lived to hear him play, or were inspired to make their own careers in music and the music business. Larry's legacy is more than just a legendary nightclub and a fistful of club classics. Larry Levan was the ultimate DJ: he didn't just excel at his job, he reinvented the concept of the DJ, blurring the boundaries of music, race, sex, sexuality, and changing thousands of people's perception of music, sound and the world around them. For those reasons alone he is still revered and talked about to this day. Larry.....we miss you, the club world has never been the same!

mongolia town
This week: the first show of the year takes Motown's 50th anniversary as a starting point for a headlong hurl through the influx and influence of the past fifty years of African-American pop music, going from Martha Reeves & The Vandellas to Gnarls Barkley with stops along the way for Curtis Mayfield, Spinners, Wu-Tang Clan, Lauryn Hill and token white guy David Bowie. It'll be a cracka.

Happy New Year!
Yes, it's 2009 and we're back.
Today saw us - Robbie J and Julz - easing ourselves back into the studio. Playing music from such artists as Lady GaGa, Justice, Take That and DJ Format; we refreshed your memories (and ears) of what Politically Erect is all about!
We also ran our features 'Hot or Not', 'Descriptionary' and 'Would You Rather'.
Have a listen and let us know what you think.
Tune in or you're a slag.

Pop Goes The Revolution // 15.01.09
This week, join us as we lament the passing of our favourite band I Say Marvin, as well as also re-living the memories of other great unknown bands from recent times that have also hung up their guitars and gone home.
It will be a sad pop goes the revolution, so break out the black suits and veils, and get a hankerchief to dab away the tears and we say goodbye to some amazing acts we will miss dearly.

The first trip in the van of 2009 is set to be a typically varied one, with music from Grace Jones, Animal Collective and The Gutter Twins, as well as a brief introduction to the work of two of the most criminally underrated (in my opinion) bands of the 90s.

bottle rocket 2009 is go!
happy new year folks, hope 2009 is going spiffingly well! bottle rocket returns to the airwaves (or the internet wires or whatever it is that powers this wonderful world wide web) with a show itching to share all the nice music that santa left, as well as all the credit-crunch bounty acquired during the endofcapitalismrepent!repent! sales.
since bottle rocket tries to play as much new music week in week out, there'll be no "tips for 2009" and i'll just continue to play new great music as and when it reaches my lugs. But i can't entirely resist a bit of crystal-ball gazing, so there'll probably be a some general blether about some of the exciting things that 2009 has in store (clue: i'm referring to all tomorrow's parties mostly).
so 2009 show numero uno will contain traces of ben butler and mousepad, the black lips, marnie stern and the ballet!
******and in case the poster on the right isn't clear enough, the club has its first night of the year this saturday in its regular slot of 11:30 - 3:00am at nice n sleazy. It's a guaranteed way to beat the post-christmas comedown and winter blues!*******

george & nikki's return to your morning schedu
The Breakfast Show // 13.01.09
Yes, taht's right ladies and gents. George and Nikki return to their Tuesday morning slot once more. So it's time to set the alarm for ten to eight and get up intime to switch onto the breakfast show.
Having spent the last four weeks holding onto as many pointless anecdotes as possible, they finally return to the studio to unleash two hours of irelevant chat intermixed with a polite relief of incredibly good music. So see you tomorrow morning people...
...well actually by the natural format of radio, we won't actually see you, but you catch my drift... figure of speech and all that...

Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites // 13.01.09
Since Lewis was ill and couldn't make it in for the last show before Christmas we're going to use the cracking pun that was meant to be the title of the Christmas special for the first show of the new year.
It's a simple premise which you can probably figure out. What better way is there to herald in the new year than playing some tunes with beastin' riffs?
Enjoy

the bucky rage + the feuds tonight!
Subcity Sessions starts 2009 with a bang and is proud to finally present The Feuds and The Bucky Rage TONIGHT 10pm-midnight!
Recorded live in the Blackfriars basement before Christmas, this is a showcase of the dirtier parts of the Glaswegian undergound punk scene. The talents of young and fresh The Feuds vs the more established chaos that is The Bucky Rage - a band that couldn't have come from anywhere else but Glasgow - provides an excellent start to the new year.
Both bands will be interviewed live in the studio by hosts Hege and Lexi (One Louder).
Tune in or the Rage will come get you!

Pop Goes The Revolution // 15.01.09
We are fully aware that you were all hoping to come back from the Winter Break to a world of fun and happiness, but in the current climate it is simply not possible. The Revolution has recieved a terrible blow.
Somewhere over the new year break, I Say Marvin split.
Many years ago in a tiny pub George caught a small glimpse of this band, and his life literally changed. A couple of years later and some excellent gigs in Glasgow the band also won over a woman called Nikki.
Another year later saw George and Nikki sit down in a room talking to two people called Ryan and Suse. They played a song called Gloria, and a long and interesting discussion about the glories of I Say Marvin began. A month or so later a radio show called Pop Goes The Revolution was born.
Now the musical glory has ended. Expect what can only be described as a sad beginning to the year.
Ecpect a long mourning process this week as we look back on the life and times of I Say Marvin and share are favourite stories of the band as well as playing as many of their tracks as we can legally get away with.
There will be no cliff list, there will only be a little of Nikki's news. There will be tears. There will be hyperbole.

she said versus the fans
It was totally unintentional but fate collided with the She Said team and saw us working our way through a number of requests on this week's show. Expect some classic punk rock, some brand new local noise, some splendid shoutiness, a splendid wee dancey number, mounting excitement about All Tomorrow's Parties and of course, the legendary She Said Glasgow gig guide.

Despite goddam cold/flu things, the She Said team teased the good people of Subcity land with some classic American punk, classic grunge, classic Fall, soon to be classic Japanese noise and a totally classic acoustic moment from Whiteinch, Glasgow.
Beautiful it was.

Music For Pleasure // 10.01.09
After last term's themefilled bombast, Joe and Paul are returning to their roots, taking it easy and remembering why they got into this game in the first place.
But seriously, this is a show that must be taken on face value. Bringing an hour of Phil Collins, Nat King Cole, Whipped Cream and other delights, along with the occasional shiny disk and a mystery bag this will undoubtebly remind everyone out there why Music for Pleasure is Subcity's Number One Second Hand Vinyl Show on a Saturday at Midday!

beat beneath back for 2009!
First of all, apologies for the non-existant prog house special last month, as luck would have it I had the 24 hour flu bug the day I was supposed to be doing it so it's now been rescheduled for next week...
Anyways... hope everyone had a great time of various winter festivities, now we're all back at work and things are getting back to normal, but on the bright side Beat Beneath is resuming tomorrow night with some brand new tunes from people such as Extrawelt and Daniel Bortz alongside a few slightly older numbers that you may or may not know. If you've been getting pissed off at consumerism, busyness, Christmas music and Auld Lang Syne for the last few weeks then why not remedy that with some fresh techno beats mixed live from an old building in the west end of Glasgow? Nothing cures the winter blues quite like some warm deep house beats in my opinion, so whether you're getting ready to brave the cold city centre or burying yourself in some form of blanket-based fortress and turning the heating up, you could do much worse than tuning into Subcity at 10pm tomorrow night (or tonight if you're reading this tomorrow, or using the Listen Again feature if you're reading this after tomorrow...)

errors on she said
And so it came to pass that the final She Said of 2008 was a bit of a blinder with Steev and Greg from the mighty Errors joining Derek and Allan in the studio for musical fun and frolics.
They were poked and prodded about the band's most successful year to date, the planned Hogmanay madness in Glasgow and their inexplicable love of dodgy disco!
Yes they picked most of the playlist so be warned.....

fucked up interview
The Crasier Frane Show // 15.12.08
Damian, lead singer of Toronto's Fucked Up, recently did an interview for the show. Here's what he had to say about Glasgow.
"I love Glasgow. I really wish we’d come here on a weekday or a Saturday so I could’ve gone record shopping. I love Scotland. I think it’s like really picturesque and really beautiful. Especially coming from Canada where the oldest thing we have is like really young. Even today, driving by Hadrian’s wall. There’s nothing like that in North America except for maybe rocks. I’m sure there’s like Native Canadian artifacts, but most of that stuff’s been destroyed over the years. It’s a really cool experience to come from North America. And Glasgow...tonight I’m going to have deep-fried pizza and it’s going to change my life. Glasgow is one of those places like London or Manchester that’s been such a hot bed of music over the years for us, hearing about bands and stuff. It’s cool to come to a city like that that has a musical past that’s influenced us some of the twee-pop, Mogwai, stuff like that. It’s really awesome."

the best of christmas soul
Felonious Munk brings you the best of Christmas soul, jazz, funk and R&B. Earlier this year when the pound was worth something I invested in a few more Christmas albums from Ramsey Lewis, the Soulful Strings and The Temptations. Catch them and a couple of new(ish) Christmas tunes from Binky Griptite and Lefties Soul Connection. And a few tips on buying Christmas records from one who's bought a few wrong ones.

all i want for christmas is .......
Rock n Roll Meltdown // 18.12.08
Dear Santa,
I hope the preperations for the big day are going cool and that.
This year i would very much like to receive one last episode of ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN for 2008, cos it won't be on Subcity again until like January or something. Perhaps this Thursday (18th December) from 5pm until 7pm would be a good time for a broadcast?
Ideally, we're looking at some properly rock n'roll sort of tunes here; perhaps a bit of garage? Some heavy psych & quality punk for sure and maybe a bit of sleaze, glam, metal or surf music - if you think your sack can handle the extra load?
Throw in a few features and stuff and it could be almost like a Christmas party situation, although i know i'd probably be violently and uncontrollably sick all over myself at the very thought of ever falling victim to any form of seasonal commercial pressures.
Thanks dude - there's mince pies in the cupboard, take only ONE.
Yours sincerely
Pete (ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN - THURSDAY 17:00-19:00

christmas for pleasure
Music For Pleasure // 20.12.08
A mere 16 months in the making, this week's Music for Pleasure promises to be one of the greatest media events in history. Joe and Paul, along with a host of very special guests, are turning the subcity studio into their very own winter wonderland giving tidings of comfort and joy to the world.
As always you can expect the very best (and worst) of charity shop digging but this time with Christmas very much in mind. To celebrate there's going to be TWO mega mixes, a shiny disk some terrible Christmas cracker jokes, and much merrymaking.
Expect Christmas classics from such greats as Band Aid, St Winifred's School Choir, Elvis, The Wombles, Squeeze, Aled Jones, David Bowie, Bing Crosby and more.

This week: the last show of the year is a non/multi-denominational holiday special, so Chris and Dan'll be wishing one and all a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, a Kwazy Kwanzaa, a Tip-Top Tet and a solemn and dignified Ramadan. The qualifiers for songs this week: mention of winter, snow, or general Yuletide merriment (or lack thereof). Expect Arab Strap, Vashti Bunyan, Ramones, Sufjan Stevens and - yes! - Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band.

a bottle rocket christmas
Bottle Rocket is putting up the twee this week (ok, it's not the best pun ever, but its remarkably difficult to come up with a good christmas/music pun that doesn't sound dead obvious. some might say don't bother with a pun if it's that much hassle, but what kind of an attitude is that to take?)
Thursday's radio show will be all festive an' that - after searching itunes for christmas-related songs it appears i have over two hundred to choose from, so who knows which ones will rise to the top like musical cream. not that i'll be doing all the choosing myself, as i'll be joined in the studio (yeah, i know! another voice! been a while...) by susan for merry yuletide-yness.
and then on saturday it's the final bottle rocket of the year at nice n sleazys. it's gonna be full to the brim with festive pop and suchlike, so if you've heard the show but not yet checked out the club, it'll be the perfect occasion to turn up, smile with your face and dance with your feet.
so, saturday 20th december, 11:30 - 3:00am.

Derek and Allan are very pleased to introduce you to Phil. He plays in 2 strikingly different bands (Cerebral Bore and Rainbow Lick). He has a rather accomplished dad and his mum seems lovely as well. He contributed enormously to She Said's fascination with facial hair. And he's very well versed in the joys of homoerotic death metal!!
Phil is a most impressive person and we're confident you'll love him and his music.

**rescheduled** the bucky rage + the feuds
**DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED** Get ready for some Subcity Sessions garage punk madness with The Feuds and the band we like to describe as The Cramps on Buckfast - The Bucky Rage!
The Rage supported The Black Lips at Barrowlands this year and should be known to most. Easily recognised by their affinity for wrestling masks and bandannas, The Bucky Rage throw a mad show every time and this Sunday will be no exception. A wild mix of surf, punk, and garage is a suitable, but not adequate, description. This band has to be heard!
Subcity Sessions strongly believes in encouraging new promising bands, and starting off the sessions are The Feuds, who recently played their debut gig alongside The Bucky Rage and Vakunoht. The Feuds are a band to watch out for, and if you missed them at Stereo you can hear them first on Subcity Radio.

Pop Goes The Revolution // 18.12.08
As the rest of the Subcity schedule give into the festive spirit (we've heard rumours that Armed Response are going to play a show with just drum n bass versions of Silent Night and All I Want For Christmas Is You and Rock n Roll Meltdown will play prog versions of I'm Walking Through The Air and perusian psychodelia versions of White Christmas), Pop Goes The Revolution does what is to be expected of it and goes in the opposite direction.
This week instead of celebrating the wonders of Christmas George manifests into Scrooge himself and busily sets about telling everyone why they should go into the festive season in a pit of despair.
So the Cliff list arrives once more to select the worst Christmas single of all time. You can nominate now for the worst Christmas pop song of all time, right from Bing to Wizard. So get nominating now. And Nikki's News is around one more time to be telling you exactly what you should be doing with your free time.
Join us this Thursday as we promise you no more than two Christmas songs, both of which will be definitely pretty alternative, as well as plugging another 8 well selected bands from around the country in between the usual sarcastic cynical attacks on the structures of pop culture.

let there be rock
Rock n Roll Meltdown // 11.12.08
Dear Points of View,
Why oh why oh why is ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN still on Subcity Radio, Thursdays 17.00-19.00?
All that rock n' roll, heavy psychedelia, garage, punk, sleaze, glam, metal and death - it's not in keeping with regular teatime based radio.
Sometimes listeners email the show (studio@subcity.org) with overly-loud rock n' roll requests or obscene stories and sometimes they even get played or read out!
I am told young folks also sometimes text the word "subcity" + a message to 07766 40 41 42 to communicate their filth to the show - i find all this absolutely shocking quite frankly.
Yours sincerely
Pete
p.s. ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN is on THURSDAYS 17:00-19:00.

musicals make the world go round
Music For Pleasure // 13.12.08
This week's Music for Pleasure is a vain exercise in self interest.
Paul and Joe heard a rumour they might be getting some chicken pie from a regular listener of the show, so we've decided to do anything we can to curry favour (It's really good pie!)
Therefore you can look for an hour of songs from musicals, some you know, some you don't and all that have an absolutely fabulous dance routine. Paul's going to try and find a shiny disk that fits with the show. But fret ye not, the mystery bag mega mix will still be along in all its glory.

oye como va - sun 14th dec 2008 - 2-3pm
Hey there folks,
This week's show is the last for a while.
Subcity is taking a break until 11th January 2009 (I'm finishing up a week early due to a family 'do').
So you best tune in this Sunday 2-3 PM for a long-lasting fix of unseasonal Latin American crackers. They'll warm yer cockles - even if you live in the same cold Northern climes as me.
I'll be playing sounds from Brazil, Mexico, Cuba and maybe more. Artists will include Mongo Santamaria, Tito Puente, Jorge Ben, Gilberto Gil, Jose Felicianos, Santana and more.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of songs by European acts that have Latin American titles (bit weak, I know, but it's kind of a link):
1. Babe Ruth - The Mexican http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=9kb4CP9lhhk
A great 1976, spaghetti-western style rock tune from a band from Hatfield, Herts, England. What could be better or more appropriate?
2. The Gibson Brothers - Cuba http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8DmK7zuN7z0
A slab of 1978 French (via Martinique) disco-funk. Nice.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.
Journeys. It's a trip!

Although, when we say consumption we'll have to check with health and safety that it's OK to do so. Even if it isn't we might do it anyway because we're WILD and CANNOT BE STOPPED, but if we're REALLY not allowed then perhaps we can be stopped...but I'm sure it'll all kosher 'cause it's 'The Holidays' and you can get away with most things. Remember your last day at school before the holidays kicked off? Perhaps you'd bring in a game of Guess Who or get to wear your own clothes? That was MENTAL. Imagine you were allowed to do whatever you wanted whenever you wanted, it would be CARNAGE. But, hell, we're gonna do it. This Christmas Special:
THERE. ARE. NO. RULES.*
*except perhaps the rule that we'll probably be playing christmas songs and talking about Christmas related crap, but you never can tell. See aforementioned comment on the presence of Rules.

'tis the season of reality tv
Pop Goes The Revolution // 11.12.08
This week on Pop Goes The Revolution the cliff list returns with a renewed energy to spill off its spite at the current television schedules.
As we all know December is the season of reality TV, where families across the country are brought together in front of a screen to watch idiots attempt to become famous and rich for being either untalented or for embaressing themselves publicly.
So here is your chance to get your reality TV grievances off your chest. Nominate now for the worst offender, and then the leading two programmes will keep their votes and be entered into the on-air Cliff List run off where they will fight off against each other until at the end of the show, the one with the most votes will get pushed off our cliff.
So join us this Thursday for the triumphant return of the Cliff List as well as some top new tunes from bands you've never heard of from across the country.

join along with the breakfast show
The Breakfast Show // 09.12.08
Yes, this week the Tuesday Breakfast Show returns with a fairly new and exciting look, or, as it is radio... sound.
Things have changed a great deal since the days when two half-competent presenters prattled on for two hours straight whilst waiting for something interesting to be said or done, yes, things have changed completely... although not that completely, the same presenters are still there... and the prattling is still there... but it has changed a bit.
Because now you can join George and Nikki, and participate along with the Breakfast show. The breakfast show is pioneering a sense of creativity and community, so get ready for an exciting show this Tuesday when we will be delivering an all new experimentational idea to radio - model making.
Yes, we want you, to join in with the Breakfast Show as we attempt to make numerous models out of milk bottles. George will be attempting to make eight delightful models all taken from this disturbingly exciting blog he found when he should've been writing an essay: http://graspideas.blogspot.com/2008/12/advent-ure-calendar-day-1.html
Go check it out, and grab your milk bottle and scissors at the ready, for tomorrow he embarks on a journey to make all eight of the models in the space of two hours before taking a photo of each one and uploading it onto the thread for this very episode as well as the new and exciting Facebook group. And you too can join in, by sending in your models as you make them during the show.
So wake up early, knock on the flatmates' doors, break out the pancakes and cereal, let the milk flow, and when the bottles are empty make sure you all tune in to Subcity Radio and join in with our new community. Join us every Tuesday for more of the same, and don't forget to join the new and exciting Facebook group:

Just Right Up Your Cup of Tea Street // 07.12.08
So, that was that and those were those, without headphones. A show of deliberatingly didantic slobbers of music, talk & moths. It's been a week of highs and lows but against the tide, you all held oot. This day, we had the finest music on SubCity Radio, the finest speak in all of Govan and subjects to melt Chaucer's mom's libido. Have a listen and see for yrself.

60s-style girl-sounds
Inspired by the imminent arrival on these shores of Brooklyn all-girl surf-guitar punks The Vivian Girls, this week's show used this as a thinly-veiled excuse to play a bunch of marginally related sounds, including The Fnords, The Carrots, The Shangri-Las, Haight-Ashbury and The Pipettes. This was also a long-awaited excuse to play inadvertent psychedelic fabulousness from The Shaggs. If you've never heard it, listen now. If you can handle it.

This week we played a plethora of tunes in celebration of the imminent departure of W. from the White House. It wasn't too smug. Well, maybe a little bit. A bit frazzled from staying up all night to watch the results, so the playlist may have been even more "ecclectic" than usual, but click "listen" to hear anti-Bush, pro-revolution treats from Le Tigre, Sleater-Kinney, Partyline, Saul Williams & DJ Spooky, Public Enemy and lots n lots more.

meet on the ledge - sun 7th dec 2008 - 2-3 pm
Hey folks,
This week's Journey is a return to one of my favourite places - the 1960s.
After last week's 21st century show, I am relapsing in spectacular fashion, with a selection of psychedelia and other freaky beats. I'll be playing the likes of Buffalo Springfield, The Attack, The Zombies, Fairport Convention and Thor's Hammer, amongst others.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a song that was apparently written in all seriousness and one that had it's tongue firmly in it's cheek from conception:
1. Traffic - Hole In My Shoe http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=aaguQLgjbMo
Featuring a young Stevie Winwood, this song is forever tied to Neil from the Young Ones as far as I am concerned. Oh, and they followed this one up with 'Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush' - I mean, come on!
2. Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band - I'm The Urban Spaceman http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hj86_2tAtdU
Written and sung by Neill Innes (along with the rest of the band obv.), I first heard this one performed as part of the 'Mony Python Live At The Hollywood Bowl' film when I was too young to have any clue what it was supposed to be about. I'm still not that sure now...
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.
Journeys. It's a trip!

argonaut sounds documentaries: #3 dancehall
Yagayo mi don dadda, this week on Argonaut Sounds we'll be playing the third in our series of documentaries on Jamaican music, looking at the rise of dancehall.
Towards the end of the 70s the dancehalls in Jamaica began to demand a change in the beat, and roots reggae died out to be replaced by a new breed of DJs. Dancehall arrived in all its glory, and has dominated Jamaican music ever since. We'll take a ride from the early days of Yellowman and co., up to the latest ragga and new roots beats.

Rock n Roll Meltdown // 04.12.08
Dear Jim, Please can you fix it for me to present ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN on Subcity Radio this Thursday 17.00-19.00?
I really enjoy proper rock n' roll, heavy psychedelia, garage, punk, sleaze, glam, metal, death, name-dropping and persistant nonsense - so i would be an ideal candidate for the role.
Often in the past people have emailed the show (studio@subcity.org) with any rock n' roll requests or stories and sometimes they even get played or read out! Sometimes they also text the word "subcity" + a message to 07766 40 41 42 if they are really desperate to get in touch - you'd think they had something really important to say or a song they really wanted to hear! Thanks Pete

special guests paul reset, morphy, velocet - livev
Armed Response DNB // 14.11.08
We are honoured to present exclusive guest mixes from three icons of Scottish drum n' bass - PAUL RESET, MORPHY & VELOCET. These three were part of the now-legendary Livevevil crew, for us the best night that ever ran in Glasgow, and arguably the best ever in Scotland.
Renowned for its forward-thinking choice of bookings and elite team of resident DJs, Livevevil ran for six years at the Glasgow School of Art before being put to rest in December 2005. Legendary Livevevil alumni, mostly on the techier tip, included Kemal, Tech Itch, Future Engineers, Teebee, D-Bridge, Matrix, Loxy & Ink, Doc Scott, Skynet and Pendulum (when they used to make good music before completely selling out and becoming shit).
PAUL RESET is A&R man and co-owner of Glasgow-based Nerve Recordings, resident at Scotland's biggest drum n' bass event Xplicit, prolific lager consumer, and drum n' bass & house DJ par excellence. Check his recent mix on BBC Radio 1 - here
MORPHY is one of Scotland's top producers, and at the top of his game when it comes to dubbed-out and dark drum n' bass. He has recently been working closely with other nu-skool leaders Nine Tails Fox and Kiat, as was recently signed to Function Recordings. Morphy has been working closely with label owner and scene legend Digital, with a string of tasty collabs in the pipeline. check his myspace
VELOCET was known as one of the slickest DJs to control the decks at Livevevil, and more recently has been making a name for himself as a producer to watch, with recently released collaborations on Nerve Recordings. Check his set on tonight's show for old-school techstep goodness.
Looking tiny and insignificant next to this colossal lineup are Armed Response residents YELLOWBENZENE & DJAMBA.

This is a REALLY big fortnight for gigs in Glasgow, which is obviously great for the show, and reflected by my decision this week to limit myself to only one track by each featured artist, so you can expect an even more varied trip in the van than usual, from some classic rave to my favorite ever Christmas song.

Subcity Presents... // 07.12.08
This week Subcity Presents brings you an up and coming DnB duo from the Stirling Night Dilate. DJ Laconic (Dilate) and MC AC (Dilate, Pangea, Armed Response DnB) realised there was a lack of DnB in Stirling and set out to fix this. From 2006 Laconic was tearing up Stirling Uni before taking on MC AC and moving to trendy club Oboeru in 2007.
More recently MC AC has been seen at Glasgow DnB night Pangea, as well as being part of Subcity's Silver SRA Award Winning show "Armed Response DnB".

(sort of) best of 2008
g'day,
just a quick note to say that for the first half hour of this week's show it'll be the usual gig related bands (including the Pogues, The Damned and, er, Simple Minds - well, it can't always be ultra-modern...), and then for the rest you'll hear some cracking songs from some cracking albums that i haven't already played in previous weeks. soze i dont repeat mysel', innit.
so no tv on the radio, she and him or los campesinos (probably my 3 favourites of the year), but how bout santogold, shearwater and alphabeat (amongst others) instead? yeeeeeeaaaaah.

the abandoned barbershop trail...
In the beginning, Electric Lemonade had great intentions of saving the genre of acappella barbershop (not the hairdressers with big red/white things spinning around outside it as so many of you assumed...). Alas, despite my fantastic efforts, the medium of barbershop singing cannot be saved in Glasgow, at least not by me.
However, as I love to be a saviour of some kind, i intend to promote rural pubbing instead! Which will obviously be a well-researched endeavor... obviously.
Peace and love,

Music For Pleasure // 29.11.08
It's been a long road through the history of popular music but we're done with that now and it's back to a music for pleasure staple. The loose theme around which we can play whatever we want really. This week we're savoring that much ,aligned art form, the single. Before Applestore and Napster, before added video and interview footage, before a double A side with only one side there were only two things that mattered, side A and sibe B, and of course the Mystery Bag Megamix which we'll manage to fit in along the way along with the usual fun stuffs.
Also It's Paul's Birthday (pretty much) so we'll be reverting to 7 year olds and giving him the dumps! Feel free to come down if you fancy joining in!

If you ever thought disco was too damn delightful to have been created by human hands - you were right. After years of government cover-ups, the news has finally leaked that disco was brought to us from another dimension in outer space. Donna Summer is from Saturn and Kano is from Krypton. Suddenly everything makes sense. So when our extra terrestrial companions invited us to host this weeks ladyboydisco amongst the milky way - we jumped aboard our mothership.

dan's solo extravaganza!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, not really. Actually, its more a fumbling, bumbling, vaguely-embarassing episode that sees me realise that doing the show is a lot harder when you don't just have to sit in the corner and say "Yeah" every few minutes. Having said that, music does get played, from the likes of Yo! Majesty, Dananananaykroyd, Elbow, Gang of Four, Pavement, and our classic-album-artist Weezer. Special mention to Damon Che of Don Caballero for having used to be good, in our one-off special, 'It's A Shame About Che'. Get it, Chris?, get it? Chris? Chris?

modern dance - sun 30th nov 2008 - 2-3 pm
Hey there folks,
This week's show is about as up-to-date as I am ever likely to get; featuring, as it does, my own personal favourites from the dance and electronica worlds - from 2000 to date.
Expect to hear from The Chemical Brothers, Basement Jaxx, LCD Soundsystem, Mr Scruff, Luke Vibert and Daft Punk, amongst others.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is a battle between a couple of Glasgow-based, unsigned 'bedroom' producers:
1. Harry Goggolini - Fined http://www.myspace.com/travelsofharrygoggolini (Click on song title)
Two 303s, a drum machine and a whole load of electronic action recorded live from the spare room. Nice.
2. DJ Freakout - Electric Penetration For The Mind & Soul http://www.myspace.com/djfreakout (Click on song title)
Another home-produced gem, with some nice sampling and synths.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

massive two hour art/goes/pop special
Pop Goes The Revolution // 27.11.08
This week Pop Goes The Revolution rallies up the revolutionary feel as we arrive on Subcity with a massive TWO HOUR special filled with more extensive features than we ever thought we’d be able to cram onto a show.
On Monday the 1st December Leeds based Record Label Art/Goes/Pop will release a brand new compilation CD featuring some of the finest bands from across Glasgow entitled Glasgow School of Art Goes Pop. Since they first released the debut single by Popup, Art/Goes/Pop’s passion for the Glasgow music scene has swelled till near explosion, and they have already released more singles by Isosceles, Nacional and The Low Miffs.
Now they have taken their passion to the next level and have brought out a compilation album featuring some of the best 23 bands from across Glasgow including the likes of We Were Promised Jetpacks, Triple School, Punch & The Apostles, and Hidden Masters. At the same time, working in conjunction with The Glasgow School of Art they set up a project whereby twenty-three students would each design a series of limited edition 7” sleeves for each one of the bands on the album, perfectly combining Art and Pop into the one tight ball.
With the package of Art and Pop complete and ready to be unleashed, Pop Goes The Revolution brings you an in depth preview of what is to be expected. On a one off two-hour special of the show we will drop all our usual shackles of pessimism, and bring you a plethora of treats as we marvel in enthusiastic delight. The show will be featuring interviews with Plaaydoh, Ming Ming & The Ching Chings and Sparrow & The Workshop, plus we have three of the artists behind the art project guesting on the show and giving their opinions on the tunes, and to top if off there is Nacional talking to the show and playing a few acoustic songs from live in our tiny studio.
So tune in at the earlier time of 11am this Thursday as we bring you a close up look at the Glasgow School or Art Goes Pop compilation and you get to discover exactly what the world is missing out on, and get to be left in eager anticipation of the launch on Monday.
This is the revolution we have been waiting for.

1//get ready for the launch!
True to our word, our first show marked the beginning of our 'car-crash' sound...
From Jay-Z to Blondie - and some classic Dannii Minogue (for good measure), we've begun to create the mish-mash that we hope will tickle your fancy/fancies!
We test-drove our features - 'Hot or Not', 'Would You Rather' and 'Descriptionary' - and look to build on these in future shows.
Tune in or you're a slag!

The Self Raising Flour Hour Of Power // 26.11.08
The Self Raising Flour Hour of Power will be schmaltzing it up on wednesday, returning to tell you about our dreams, backed by some popular post rock. And maybe some studio guests. Who knows. We'll also be playing some bands from the Winning Sperm Party Disco Dancing night (i.e. Plaaydoh and Dirty Summer) just in case the WSP boyos are too modest to do so!
We shall also be joined in the studio by the effervescent and aromatic The Ballad of Mable Wong who will be turning tables, discs and doing some live in house bantering with us until that all too short hour comes to a sharp close!

bottle rocket is turning japanese!
kind of... a wee bit... and no, it's got nothing to do with that rather sordid vapours song (the disgusting oiks), nor the kelly osbourne tv show. nope, it's just a rather lame way of saying that this week's show will be topped and tailed by some rather fantastic japanese music (which bands? listen in and find out whydontcha?)
inbetween it'll be the usual blend of new stuff and good stuff (and new good stuff). Examples? i'll give you examples: how about something from the new Lucksmiths record, some Je Suis Animal and a tune from Frightened Rabbit?
Excited? I'm not bloomin surprised...

BLACK STATIC TRANSMISSION // 25.11.08
Right you cunts, proving that the devil doesn't always have the best tunes, BST is going to be doing a little featurette (dainty, eh?) on God-geeks with geetars. They don't know how to do much right, but a select few truly know how to rock out with their cocks out.
We've played some FRACTION before, so they won't be making an appearance (sorry!), but expect some suitably dirty, spaced-out holy rollers to be spreading the good word that you haven't heard.
Just tune in on 25th November 2008 and the veil will be torn in front of your very eyes.

sixties soul sisters - 23rd nov 2008 - 2-3pm
Hey folks,
No prizes for guessing that this week's show features a selection of fine, female-voiced soul. I'll be playing a selection of up-tempo groovers and a few love-gone-wrong type slower numbers, all from the 60s. Expect: Aretha Franklin, Dinah Washington, Erma Franklin, Irma Thomas, Laura Lee and more.
This week's Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of songs by blokes, but which are dedicated to women-kind in general:
1. James Brown - It's A Man's, Man's, Man's World http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=RZMgLQuTluA
James loves the ladies. In a pre-PC kind of way.
(Swiftly followed in the same video by 'I Got You (I Feel Good)' - Nice!)
2. Daddy Kae & Yvonne - Eleven Commandments of Woman http://cowbell.fm/track/37551-daddy-kae-yvonne-eleven-commandments-of-woman
Yvonne teaches Daddy the rules, in a funky stylee.

sleazy saturday
this month's show will be playing the usual combination of new music, touring bands and dancing-party favourites, which this month happens to mean We Were Promised Jetpacks, Far and Nina Simone amongst others. you like them? then you'll love bottle rocket radio!
next on the agenda: thanks to any listeners who made it down to the club night on Saturday at Nice N Sleazys. Unfortunately the emphasis seemed to be on 'sleazy' rather than 'nice' for once which was a bit of a shame. Once you factor in some crippling technical problems it adds up to an eve that was a little less satisfying than previous months. but such setbacks only strengthen our resolve to up the niceness and make december's christmassy bottle rocket the best yet!
but that is awfully far away still. so lets just focus on the radio show: as well as the above i'll probably play nick cave and the bad seeds and my latest novel. so there's two more excellent reasons to tune in.

storytelling
Once upon a time there were two little girls who lived in a castle made of dusty old books. Their parents were lousy enunciators, so the girls were named 'Laura' and 'Tara' for it was easy for them to say through mouthfuls of sponge cake. One day Laura and Tara were a-walking down dictionary lane when they stumbled upon a gang of gaily dressed youths. The colourful characters looked them hard in the eye, questioned them about their strange names and offered them a microphone and strange spinning disks through which music could be heard. The girls were most pleased by these strange contraptions and used them to tell strange stories of their dusty castle home!
Their favourite fellow storytellers were:
Don't Eat the Mic http://www.toadinmud.co.uk/eatthemic/
OMG Glasgow http://www.bebo.com/omg-glasgow

Stanton Sessions Vol. 3 Competition
After furious deliberation we found a winner!
Although not quite picking the right phrase to complete the library graffiti contest, Sandra from Level 9 in the uni library came close enough. The correct answer was:
"Sometime during thunderstorms, I like to make love to my girlfriend and pretend that we are conceiving the antichrist"
Sandra's answer was "attach an aerial to her in the hope that she be electricuted"
Well done Sandra! Your Stanton Sessions CD will be with you shortly.

A show, ladies and girls, that answers all the questions you ever had about French food, disco balls and the enigma that is the London economy. A show that slams your face around with the musical stylings of Devo, SebastiAn, Operation Ivy and Sister Sledge without pausing to think about decency. A show that occasionally recieves email and text messages. Yes, this hour will blow you mind more than Martin Sheen coming round for your birthday and giving you a Scalextric track.

Had a lot of fun doing this weeks show with a lot of slow dances, slaps, hoots and larfs being had in the studio. Hats off and thumbs up to everyone's favourite gastro-enteritis victim, Gaz, for having a heavy hand in in today's pickings after my external hard drive died.
Yet more exclusives, this week from TEAM B, the brand new ARCADE FIRE/ BEIRUT/ LCD SOUNDSYSTEM Supergroup, great wee song "On My Mind" left us in a wee romantic tizzy.
Another exciting thing this week was our FIRST EVS COMPETITION and what a fucking treat we have for ya...the chance to win a SIGNED COPY OF MR. OIZO's new fuckin album, Lamb's Anger. How did we do it? Well, if we told you, you'd probably not believe us. We are noddy widdle boyz.... So needless to say get onto our forum and answer this week's DJ TECHNO MATHMATICAL RIDDLE to be in with a chance to get your hands on this little smasher.

the big stupid scene
The Breakfast Show // 13.11.08
After a years worth of hard forged blacksmithery, Michael, James and by association Manus decide to unleash, by invitation only, The Big Stupid Scene. Hold on to your hats, unless they are rubbish then you can let them blow away as you please, because here it comes, described by our own producer Josh as "disgusting", The Big Stupid scene is to be awakened live on air. What will come of this? time and tide will tell, alls we know is, its pretty big and it is fully stupid.

a line full of fenders
Having been inspired by a brilliant gig by Built to Spill last week I’ve been reminded about the deliciousness of that distorted, fuzzed out guitar that was everywhere in the 90s. So this week we’re celebrating them and that decade that seems so long ago by playing some great chunky, grungey music from the other side of the Pacific. Listen out for Screamfeeder, Magic Dirt, Radio Birdman and Mono

Subcity Presents... // 16.11.08
Subcity Presents... is back. This weeks guest is none other than Full Phat, one of the best DJ's in the city right now, and I'm not just saying that this time. Full Phat is yet another of Subcity Radio's old friends, from back in the day when he used to have a show on the station, right up until now, where you will still be able to find him at our events, usually topping the bill!! You may remember Full Phat from his sizzling performance at the Subcity stage at the West End Festival, or more recently at our September Research Club party.
Catch him up live this Sunday, the 16th, or listen again if you can't. It's sure to be a belter.

pt 5: 80's synth nightmare
Music For Pleasure // 15.11.08
At the end of a very long and winding road, we've reached the fifth and final part of 'The history of popular music through the medium of second hand vinyl'
The 80's synth pop nighmare will cover all manner of music from 1984-1990 olus perhaps a couple of 90s tunes thrown in for good measure. Expect all three kinds of music; Stock, Aitken AND Waterman, as well as a smattering of classier fair and - if Oxfam have got their act together - a wee mystery bag to get your blood flowing.

bottle rocket indie dancing party!!!
This Saturday it's the return of Bottle Rocket to Nice N Sleazys for our monthly dance-fest. We start at 11:30, we end at 3:00am, and in-between we play songs galore - C86, post-punk, motown and spector and anything else we fancy throwing into the big bubbling pot of Dance. Or, as Joseph describes it:
"smart indie, cuddle-core, bouncy shoegaze, smiles and sparks of pop bliss"
Well that sounds jolly good doesn't it?
In other news, the radio show this week will be playing music by Eagleowl, Clinic and the Notwist and will be trying not to forget stuff after last week's confusion-tinged show. In order to improve things i intend to stay sober the night before, rather than drink so much that i cut my finger open WITH MY OTHER FINGER trying to click them along to NOFX. Cos that's just stoopid.
see you saturday

notwist special
The Notwist are playing at the King Tut's on the 19th of November. Subcity will be recording the gig--one good reason to dedicate this episode of Jus de Pomme to the band.
Also, it's the 19th anniversary of the fall of the wall in Berlin.
Initially this post said that Notwist would be plying on the 11th. This is clearly wrong and mainly due to my increadibly poor memory for dates. Trust me, I believed for weeks it was the 11th. Well anyways... Gives you more time to buy tickets

funky president! sun 16th nov 2008 - 2-3 pm
Hey folks,
So, there I was trying to decide what to do this week's show on, and then that Obama bloke went and got himself elected...
This week's show is a collection of songs about political and social empowerment; from artists such as James Brown, Isley Brothers, John Lennon, Public Enemy, Lee Dorsey and others.
Ultimately Barack Obama's presidency may not turn out to be all that different from any other American regime, but surely we're allowed to hope, 'pray' and day-dream until it all goes wrong!?!?
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of versions of a Temptations' classic:
1. The Heptones - Message From A Black Man
A Coxsone Dodds produced reggae version: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=e8xN5YXHUoU
2. The Whatnauts - Message From A Black Man
Sweet funky soul version: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=u7tLrNLL-PQ
(Original Temptations version: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=XDeasoVNgoI)
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

tribal lady dances: because we're only two once...
Just Right Up Your Cup of Tea Street // 09.11.08
....we still parp things up from time to thyme but equally weighted with a lovely wee playlist again this week we smoothed things out towards the end...
On this week's show we had an exclusive Evil Nine track from their new album ("They Live!")
Speil (who we meanly demean) joined us in the studio for dirty small talk and back chat about his failing uni career, his painter boss, his obsessive love of David Marhsall (you'll find out shortly why we love him when he makes a guest appearance before Xmas), and a wee track from Apparat. Noice.
We promise to be back next week with more Nearest and Dearest, improvised studio phone number jingles, conversations with randomly selected friends on our mobiles, and a droolingly gorgeous competition with the chance to win some very, very brand new signed CDs. Oh and a pause for thought....
Merci bouquets,

a series of tubes and the social networking crisis
Pop Goes The Revolution // 13.11.08
What we all have to remember is, in the words of Senator Ted Stevens, the man who in 2006 was in charge of regulating the internet, is that “the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes.” This accurate technical analysis gives a clear precise picture of the internet and just what is going wrong. The internet is slowing down and soon it’ll be useless to us all. As Ted Stevens himself pointed out “I just the other day got... an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday. I got it on Tuesday.”
Here at Pop Goes The Revolution we have once more found out the source of the problem, and yet again it lands in the pop culture remit. We have discovered that the sole reason for the slowing down of the internet is in fact Social Networking sites. It’s a combination of the pointless flashy MySpace pages, the billions of photos of their face from every conceivable angle on Bebo, and the constant updating of statuses on Facebook, beemed in by text message, saying such important messages as “I am now eating a yoghurt.”
There is only one logical conclusion. To save the internet we must remove a social networking site. Therefore, in order to protect mankind, Pop Goes The Revolution have send off the Cliff List team to examine the social networking mammoths and reckon now they have the ability to strip the cables and servers and send the chosen site plunging to its doom.*
The question is, which one will go. Well, naturally that choice is up to you. Yes, you can vote now in the biggest cliff list battle to date, the clash of the social networking sites. So pick your sides, and vote for which one you feel is worse. Do so either by voting on our MySpace page (www.myspace.com/popgoestherevolution), on our Bebo (www.bebo.com/popgoestherevolution), on our Facebook, by emailing us at popgoestherevolution@hotmail.co.uk or by commenting to this episode here at Subcity.
So choose your voting method, and select your victim. Remember the rules, the two items with the most votes at the end of the week go through to the final live on air, where they will take their votes through and battle it out on air until one of them is declared the loser and pushed off our cliff.
Join us this Thursday to find out what will go.
As an irrelevant side note, Ted Stevens was wrong, the internet isn’t a series of tubes, it actually looks more like this - http://xkcd.com/256/
*We would like it noted that we are fully aware that all this chat is metaphorical, and this is a pre-emptive telling off for whatever smart arse decided to inform us that we can no longer have an account with whichever site loses the battle.

And there was some tentative big news about next week’s show.

leonard cohen special
This week's Rara it's all about the man born with the Golden Voice: we'll be playing Leonard classics and personal favourites, covers, tributes and homages to our favourite Quebecoise singer-songwriter. Well, second favourite: our November 18th show will be all about Celine Dion, our hearts will go on and on and on until our declerations of love get through her bouffant 'do into her French soul, or l'âme, as it were. Ha, that's awfully close to LAME, which is totally not how we secretly, actually feel about Celine Dion at all and none of this is a lie.
Aye, anyway, so Laughing Len SPESH FEST!

src vp admits nazi sympathies live on air
As part of an epic 2 hour show hosted by Shaun and the Monolith current SRC Vice President (Media and Communications), Zoe Grams, failed the new Solar Island Quiz "Are you Hitler?".
Grams made a live appearance in the studio alongside Agent Warrior of Hack! magazine. The SRC have declined to comment on this news and it is unclear whether Grams will retain her position. Sources close to the VP have revealed that she has always harboured right wing tendencies pointing out her recent Daily Mail Halloween costume.
Other highlights of the show included:
- A Letter from America - The Monolith's postcaird from the USA finaly arrives
- Are you Hitler? - a new gameshow in association with the Daily Mail
- Exclusive audio from Barak Obama's afterparty
- An important announcment regarding a new show, this Friday night on Subcity....

Pop Goes The Revolution // 06.11.08
After its tempoary American break, and a couple of unusual weeks, Pop Goes The Revolution returns to what it does best.
It's simple, we lampoon everything we as wrong with pop culture and you join in our levels of slightly irritated banter as this week we analyse on just how much profit Starbucks make everytime you buy a coffee.
Yes, this week the Cliff List is a straight run off: Starbucks vs Costa - which is worse?
You can comment on this page and vote or text in or email in on the show to decide what coffee mamoth will meet a Cliff List doom as well as joining us in a general cynical banter mass.
As usual Nikki will be providing you a guide to the week's activities in Glasgow with all the hottest places to be, George will mumble things of a snobby and irritated nature, and the show will as of ever bring you some excellent tunes the world has forgotten to listen to.
The Revolution is as classic as it ever was. Pop Goes The Revolution 12-1 this Thursday.

competition time
Chromeo, the Streets and an exclusive Simian Mobile Disco set from Fabric are some of the things that Subcity Spin has to offer this week.
We also have a competition! The good people at Playstation 3 are wondering what the new vehicle featured in MotorStorm Pacific Rift is?
If you know the answer e-mail us at music@subcity.org latest Friday the 7th, and you have a chance to win tickets to The Whip's gig at the Arches.

The Breakfast Show // 06.11.08
After Wednesday's debacle the show will be undergoing a calming recession into soothing purity; this is courtesy of us the presenters, as always, seeing as our job is basically to mediate this sort of guff. Hopefully it will wake you up though.

...play some grand music like Built To Spill, Neon Neon and Wreckless Eric that is. And that election thingy might be acknowledged too.
And we voted down the tax codes, and we voted down the war. So many names to choose from, just one way to go

Just Right Up Your Cup of Tea Street // 02.11.08
Silly wee men that we are, the show didn't actually start until pretty much 10 minutes in with a lovely morcel (Jo) from Mr. Oizo's new album, Lamb's Anger. Supoib little ditty followed by us nervously getting our hands on alien dials which we don't know how to use properly so it was, as the critic David Bennente admitted, "a literal and metaphoric pile of horse jobby in terms of production and chat". As a result we are away to work out our respective problems including us talking over each other, Gary's gastro-enteritis and my disappearing voice.
We will be back next Sunday at 5pm, hopefully on better form to play you a tantalising selection of oddities and to tell you a little bit about our up-and-coming-mini-music-documentaries and mini-mixes...by the way the Erol Alkan exemplar was (shockingly) NOT an exclusive...it was just a wee taster of whats coming...

the feeling they call the blues - sunday 2-3 pm
Hey folks,
Journeys goes back to it's normal length of 1 hour from this week, so tune in at 2 PM for an hour of Blues greats. Artists likely to feature include Muddy Waters, BB King, John Lee Hooker, Robert Johnson, T-Bone Walker, Leadbelly and more.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of songs with 'Blues' in the title, but which aint actually Blues tunes:
1. Masters At Work - MAW Latin Blues http://www.last.fm/music/Nuyorican+Soul/_/MAW+Latin+Blues
From the Nuyorican Soul album. It's cool, but it's far too cheery to be the Blues! It's not on youtube, but you can hear it at the above last.fm link (just click 'play' on the wee player at the right of screen).
2. Kasabian - Butcher Blues http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1gPDWWp-Mg
From their debut album (when they were good). At least this one attempts to be kind of depressing. :)
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.
Journeys. It's a trip!

theez boyz italo disco special!
Theez Boyz R Athletes // 01.11.08
This Saturday's Theez Boyz R Athletes will be an Italo Disco special. Tune in from 10PM to Midnight for two whole hours of the best Italo Disco I can get my hands on. I'll be playing classics from this highly influential genre such as Spacer Woman by Charlie to more recent Italo Disco influenced tracks like Love Explosion by Alden Tyrell.
If you have any Italo Disco related requests or would like to contact the show for any reason at all, you can email us on theezboyzrathletes@hotmail.co.uk or through our myspace at http://www.myspace.com/theezboyzrathletes
Here's the Wiki blurb on Italo Disco for those who are unfamiliar:
"Italo-Disco is a very broad term, encompassing much of the disco music output in Europe during the 1980s. It is one of the world's first forms of electronic dance music. It evolved during the late 70's / early 1980s in Italy, Spain, Germany, and other parts of Europe, and later influenced most of the 80's disco productions of the world. Italo disco music has a distinct, futuristic and spacey sound, which was created using synthesizers, drum machines, and vocoders. During the 1980s, the term "Italo-disco" was used in Europe to describe all the non-UK and non-US based dance productions. In North America and the UK, Italo-Disco was mostly an underground phenomenon that could only be heard at night clubs or through homemade DJ mixes."
Let the disco commence!

the seventies part 1: the next big thing
Music For Pleasure // 01.11.08
This Week on Music for Pleasure 'The Next big thing: The Seventies Part 1 | The history of popular music through the medium of bad quality 2nd hand vinyl part 3'
Having scoured the record collection, there's no easy way of saying this, too much happened in the seventies. A paired down list of must include artists from the seventies has reached the mid thirties, and that's without any Zepplin, Sabbath, Sex Pistols, Kraftwork and many others.
Therefor this week's journey through the history of popular music is going to ignore the fact that a decade is 10 years long and stop just before the invention of punk commonly believed to be in 1977. We'll be attempting to play as many of the artists and bandswho tried and failed to be 'The Next Beatles' while widening and developing what is popular music.
We may even find time to fit in a mystery bag megamix too.

subcity halloween at the art school!
Don't know about you guys, but I'm getting pretty excited about the art school/subcity halloween party tomorrow night, not least because I'll be kicking off proceedings downstairs with all kinds of ambient weirdness, chilling textures and blood curdling electronics before the Falconi Bros. and Findo Gask take over.
Tickets are selling fast, probably best getting them in advance, or turning up mega early tomorrow night to avoid disappointment.
See you all at The Vic!!!

remix special
Purely because I love theming stuff, Electric Lemonade's 4th November pitcher (oh dear...) will be a remix special. I'll be playing all my favourite remixes like Depeche Mode remixed by Digitalism and (despite my ranting last week) a classic Snow Patrol remix from the Songs For Polarbears days...
I'll also be exploring my Bring Back Barbershop Campaign.
So tune in on the 4th November for the best remixes around (in my opinion anyway)
Much love!

will lord blasts solar over offensive voicemails
This week Solar Island continue to break their own record for the greatest-number-of-complaints-made-to-Ofcom-for-a-single-broadcast.
Comedy legend Will Lord (78), best known for his role as hapless DJ Lord of the Dancehall in the much loved Subcity series Solar Island (Seasons 1 - 4) was said to be deeply offended by answerphone messages recorded on the show discussing the sexual activities of members of his family.
At the centre of the outrage was a comment by Solar regular Matthew Sillars claiming that Mad Euan Lindsey had had sex with Will's dad, Captain Birdseye.

Pop Goes The Revolution // 30.10.08
This week Pop Goes The Revolution is presented to you live from the oval office in the White House. It is from here that we hope to bring you the true guide to the American election through the eyes of pop culture.
Join us as we seemlessly prove that every song we play is about the US election, as well as giving you the true report on just what is happening in America through the medium of weak jokes and irelevant chat done to the backing music of the star spangled banner.
The usual features remain as well though, Nikki's news lives on and the 'cliff list' returns with an all new personal vengence.
Join us this Thursday at midday for satire galore, some excellent tunes, and a large collection of patriotic backings that will get you saying 'God bless America' quicker than an extradition trip to Guantanamo.

As I turned the keys in the ignition tonight, by my own standards at least, I was a veritable ball of fury and loathing but playing Shellac's magnificent "Canaveral" and "Song Against Itself" was a cathartic experience, and by the end of the journey I had reverted to my usual state of zen-like serenity.

ascii needs you!
ASCII returns to Subcity on November the 2nd with the classic blend of videogame bleeps, Nintendo talk and live gaming. Bringing back the original format of one hour, Tim and myself are going to condense all the fun from last year into an weekly hour long show.
However, Tim is away attending Mario and Peach's Wedding (I wissnae invited) so I'm looking for some goombas to join me on the show.
Past names who have appeared include Robin Davis, Martin Deutsch, Heather Robertson, Ciaran Owens, Scott Forsyth , Joe Evans and Lewis Ross. Old and new faces are welcome to appear and bring their fond memories of getting a Game Boy for Christmas back in 1993.
Failing this I'll just resort to playing Electroplankton for a hour or do a chiptune set.
If you want to get involved send me a PM on the forum.
ASCII will be broadcast online infront of a live studio audience on Subcity.org at 11-12pm, Novemeber the 2nd 2008.

chicago soul special with dave box
Dave Box bought his first soul record in 1964 in Yorkshire , three years late he started visiting the Unite States to buy some more. Dave befriended many musicians, collectors and producers on his trips and is regarded as a specialist on Chicago Soul. He made his second visit to Soulful Allsorts on Saturday 25th October to play some great examples of Chicago Soul from Chess records, the pen of Curtis Mayfield and the tapes produced by Carl Davis. You'll hear some rare records and others still available for a few pounds but they all sound great. Hear him with Subcity regular Fraser Dunn on Soulfull Allsorts.

an accompaniment to your cereal
The Breakfast Show // 27.10.08
The Breakfast Show begins, and will rocket its way to your ears this coming Monday. So now there is no need to sit down to your breakfast with no background noise other than the scraping of the spoon against the bowl, or the sound of the bacon burning in the pan.
Now you can join George and Nikki from Subcity's Pop Goes The Revolution introducing you to the day as the early morning freedom/lurgy takes things to the extremes. It turns out George is even more cynical at 8am in the morning, and Nikki suddenly breaks out her 90's pop collection: circa Hanson.
So join us this Monday as the Breakfast show begins with an in-depth Weetabix discussion.
8am-10am This Monday. Be there... or alternatively, if you wish, have a lie in.

beat beneath 24/10/08
After last week's deep gorgeousnes, dark shades of tech-house and rather rubbish but thankfully minimal chat, Beat Beneath returns with more lovingly crafted beats from such people as Minilogue, Florian Meindl and a guy from Chilé called Ricardo (probably not the one you're thinking of). Expect the usual mixture of leftfield techno, subdued house, emo-tech and possibly other made-up subgenres of dance music.

lies, self-love and lapins
Based On A True Story // 24.10.08
Another triumphant week for boats, as we punmp out tunes by Metric, Dangerdoom, Tilly and the wall and Stepehen Malkmus. We disucss a rabbit bloodbath, the necessity of lies and wishing to be friends with yourself. With a series of renaissances and the hugging of ones own tangerines this is undoubtedly the best episode of boats ever.

instru-mental - sun 26th oct 2008 - 1-3 pm
Hey folks,
This week's show consists of a choice selection of (mostly) soul and funk instrumentals (although I've allowed the odd chant, exclamation, or repeated vocal line). Artists likely to feature include Herbie Hancock, Ramsey Lewis, Link Wray, The Kay Gees, Ike Turner & His Kings of Rhythm, The Joe Cuba Sextet, Kool & The Gang, Charles Kynard, Duane Eddy and more.
The Spotlight is on one of the greatest funk bands ever. It's New Orleans' own The Meters. Formed in 1965 by Art Neville, The Meters had some of the best players around (including guitarist Leo Nocentelli, bassist George Porter Jr. and drummer Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste) and became the 'house band' for Allen Toussaint and his record label, Sansu Enterprises. I'll be spinning a few of their own releases.
The Weird But Wonderful vote features one of my favourite artists in a couple of his cheesier moments:
1. Roy Ayers - He Aint Heavy, He's My Brother
A vibes-heavy cover of the Hollies' classic.
2. Roy Ayers - I Don't Know How To Love Him
Another cover, this time of the Andrew Lloyd Webber 'classic', from Jesus Christ Superstar... hmm...
No links for the WBW this week, but both tunes are pretty well known as the originals and as a multitude of cover versions, all of which can be found on youtube if you have steadfastly avoided music up to this point.
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.
Journeys. It's a trip!

the news
The Office of dudes is now officially news worthy. And thats because we worked out how to use the news thing, much like a trained monkey might. Well done team! Either way there is now a MASSIVE beef with gran-tastic who we intend to take right down to china town, and maybe have a lovely meal with them; don't you love those sweet and sour dumplings? Either way have a listen and maybe, just maybe, you'll learn something. *
*The Office Of Dudes does not endorse learning of any kind.

hello from the broomhill mix!!!
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Cats and Dogs and especially the purveyors of jazz, funk and soul. Just a quick news flash about what has been happening on the show so far this year. Apart from playing some awesome music over the past weeks, there have also been some great gigs. Allan has made it down to see Level 42, who lifted the roof of the concert hall on the 1st of October. Additionally Allan makes it down to Brel (Ashton Lane) every Sunday to catch the weekly Jazz night, so head on down if you want to catch some inspirational jazz! Recently Allan bumped into Jass Main at Brel and received his new CD, so stay tuned to have a listen some of his new stuff.
There will also be more to come in the coming weeks, a few interviews are being organised and a heap more of your favourite and soon to be favourtie jazz, soul and funk bands and musicians will be aired. So stay tuned to the Broomhill Mix!

rock n roll meltdown in rehab - back 30th october.
YO! The popular rock n' roll based radio show, ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN will sadly be absent from the airwaves this Thursday (23rd October) while we get some much needed medical assistance. Flowers, chocolates, grapes and crack will all be gratefully received within visiting hours.
But never fear, cos we will be back with some kind of half-arsed Halloween nonsense on Thursday October the 30th (5-7pm) - maybe we'll play all the same songs we play every other year, or play some really unusual shit and alienate listeners even more than usual. Feel free to listen in fancy dress if that's your bag - you perverted bastards.

tom's back... with a vengeance
Tom and Lol's Teatime Treat // 22.10.08
We had the delightful tones of Janine a fortnight ago and then the painful utterings of Richie last week but now regular presenter Tom is back from his cookery courses to accompany Lol for the first time this year. Word War is back... as is Name That Tune PLUS new feature Your Perfect Sunday. Cyril the Crow was doing the traffic last week and we'll hopefully have a hospital update from him since his unfortunate collision with a low-flying aircraft.
All will be explained in this week's edition of The Revenge of Tom and Lol today at 5pm.

one of those days...
I'm sure you will all be most upset to hear that your faithful van driver has been having an awful day, so I have decided to treat this evening's trip as a form of personal therapy. I intend that it will be an emotional journey, from the fury of Steve Albini's Shellac, to the soothing introspection of Kurt Wagner's Lambchop.
I'm looking forward to it, and would appreciate your company
speak to you soon,
Colin

- EMI label boss slaughtered by Matthew after Box booked for gig.

autumn leaves
It's this time of change again. Though this change is rather subtle, as the wheather is just as awful as always. But the days are getting shorter, we have even more rain and it's getting colder. So grab youself a cup of tea, get a jumper and listen to Jus de Pomme's autumn special with loads of beautiful tunes, for a dreamy autumn!
Also, I want to mention the upcoming Ólafur Arnalds + Finn concert at the Stereo.

deep, dark and moody special!
Pretty much as it says really - tonight I'm going to be digging through the depths of my record box to bring you the deeper side of dance music. From spacey dub techno, through subdued minimal and moody tech house to some more relentless, unnerving numbers all with just enough melody to keep it somewhat radio-friendly, tonight's Beat Beneath promises to be a treat for those into the beautiful, dark recesses of techno's more subtle side.
Music will be courtesy of Amé, Loco Dice, Sian and more.
Future specials may or may not include progressive house, techy dubstep (very different to dub techno, trust me) and early 90's rave...

their satanic majesties request
This week - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and The Velvet Underground find common ground in Glen Campbell; Chris dismisses an album that got a rare perfect 10.0 from Pitchfork in favour of its undersung follow-up in #1 Records; and the show plays its first ever request. Sort of.

Due to other commitments there is no Music for Pleasure this week. Big apologies to those waiting to hear 'Bigger than Jesus: Did The Beatles Change Everything? The history of popular music through the medium of second hand vinyl Pt 2' or those of you who just can't wait to listen to another mystery bag mega mix will have to wait until 25/10. Or listen back to another show. Please also contribute to the forum thread on wether the Breatles did (like the Black Death) change everything.

can u dance? - sun 19th oct 2008 - 1-3 pm
Hey folks,
After a week off for Jay (Northern Music Collective) Miles's wedding, Journeys returns on an Old-School House tip.
Expect to hear Adonis, Steve 'Silk' Hurley, Humanoid, Inner City, Frankie Knuckles, Raze and more.
The Spotlight falls on Marshall Jefferson this week. As well as being responsible for one of the greatest House tunes ever made (Move Your Body a.k.a The House Music National Anthem), he also helped to put Acid House on the map through his collaborations with DJ Pierre amongst others. I'll be playing the afore mentioned classic and a couple of tunes that Jefferson added his magic to as producer.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of 80s Commercial House classics:
1. Coldcut - Doctorin' The House http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAoCkVkcMr8
2. Krush - House Arrest (The Beat Is The Law) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61rFY4VPADE
To decide which one plays the show out get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

Rock n Roll Meltdown // 16.10.08
ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN returns once again on Subcity this thursday teatime 5-7pm for fun, frolics and a concoction of strange smells. Including an eruption of rock n' roll based events, features, chat and the continually small chance some amazing celebrity guests will show up, it's sure to be even better than that show i did a few weeks back.
I was thinking if you've got any decent, properly rock n' roll requests or stories of an amusing or entertaining nature you could email the studio, if you think you've got what it takes? studio@subcity.org is a good one, or text "subcity" + your message to 07766 40 41 42.

I posted a playlist, yusss.
On this week's show:
I accidently hit one of the decks with my arm and so it stops somewhere around the 3rd song I think; and I played the last song at double speed by accident.
Oh dear... However the playlist is alright go ccheck it out, maybe next week's mixing will be a little better, I'm going to find a stool to stand on because the decks are quite high up...
Also, come and see by band on Saturday at Nice n Sleazys. www.myspace.com/gashnaste. and I'm DJing at Bent Out Of Shape on Sunday at The Admiral, which is Lock Up Your Daughters Magazine vs. Bang Bang. It'll be excellent, Fangs are playing.

gigging in glasgow
Pop Goes The Revolution // 16.10.08
Last week saw the death of Eastenders as the final credits roled to black and the distinctive Thames River scenery was blown to smitherine in an exciting Nuclear explosion last episode that guaranteed it would never re-appear. The Cliff List claimed another victim.
This week the Cliff List inquisitors returned to their homested in Glasgow for a welcome break only to see the possibility of gigging ruined by the usless locations in which to go. Gigging in Glasgow has traditionally always been a joy (and by gigging we mean going to, or possibly if you're capable of, playing a musical gig; not the obscure form of celtic rowing which is never pleasant in Glasgow as no one wants to be in the clyde).
But traditionaly going to a gig in Glasgow has been a joy, but now so many venues have spawned, most of which are so poorly designed for the sound of live music, that when you get there you find your favourite band have been ruined by the horrifically overpriced drinks, dredful acoustics and moody staff.
Now we can get our revenge on a gig venue, as the Cliff List team gather their building equipment and poise, bulldozers at the ready, to take down a gig venue. Is the SECC with its 7000 seats but with no sound quality worthy of the plunge, is the Barfly with a pint of coke being half the price of a ticket (no exaggeration) worthy of the Cliff List wraith. Have your say and nominate this week's Cliff List nominations here on Subcity, on our MySpace (www.myspace.com/popgoestherevolution) on Bebo (www.bebo.com/popgoestherevolution), find us on Facebook or email us at popgoestherevolution@hotmail.co.uk
Tune in this Thursday to find out what is Glasgow's worst gig venue.

this week w/another guest dj, and some football..?
Well, last week we had Aaron from All Tore Up! on the show, this week we are lucky enough to have his mate Neil from Glasgow's other rockabilly night RPM (The Captain's Rest, second Saturday of every month) with us.
There will also be another Local Band of the Week, and of course new versions of our slightly more queer features; the Troggs Cover (and maybe some real Troggs?) and the Tribute to Ed Cobb.
I will also try to follow the second half of the Thriller on Hampden Park; Scotland vs. Norway, so for your weekend's fix of both rock n roll and football,
tune in to ONE LOUDER on Saturday from 4-6!

armed response dnb feat y2d
Armed Response DNB // 10.10.08
yes yes!
This Friday we've got a special one hour set from up-and-coming drum n' bass producer Y2D, one to watch in the coming months if you like your drum n' bass deep, soulful and funky.
Hailing from Aberdeen, Y2D is one of Scotland's top unsigned dnb producers, drawing influence from LTJ Bukem, Calibre and Photek. His tunes "Fya!", "Roadblock" and "Hornet" have been featured on BBC Radio One, and one of the first tunes he ever sent us, "Moonlight" still gets played regularly on the show. Y2D also promotes "Full Spektrum" in Aberdeen, holdin' it down for the dnb scene up North alongside the mighty Jungle Nation.
We love to support Scottish unsigned talent on Armed Response so make sure you get locked to check this out.

Tonight's show will also feature an exclusive set from DJ Dog Rapist, and will be hosted by Whoa!Gan from Ruin It.

Music For Pleasure // 11.10.08
The first of a four part series on the history of popular music, as available in your second hand record shop of choice; this week Music for Pleasure is stating at the beginning - which is a very sensible place to start.
Whether or not the Beatles actually changed everything, we've taken 1963 as the start of modern music, we're going to spend an hour looking at what was there before. You can expect large doses of crooning, big bands, children's songs and a little bit of rock and roll along with a 50p single of the week, a song from our youth and of course the Mystery Bag Mega Mix

autumn leaves
Today felt truly autumnal in Glasgow, and the mood in the van tonight was a little reflective, maybe even a trifle wistful as we ruminated on the passing of the seasons. We also listened to beautiful music by some of the great acts who will be appearing in Glasgow over the coming weeks, which I hope will warm your hearts as the nights draw in.
Until next time

For last week's guest hiccup but this week we bring you treats in a style that you may have grown accustomed (resisting poor custard pun) to. We have a double header of guests. Comprised of the lovely Craig Orzel of The Twilight Sad/Orzelda, who recently dj-ed at our clubnight (playing Valley Girl to a kind of John Cage-y style of applause)and later we will also be joined by wee Ross Clark, to play an unfinished ukelele symphony.

Pop Goes The Revolution // 09.10.08
The Cliff List has so far killed Cliff Richard, The NME and Crocs; now as it continues its reign of pop culture terror it arrives at the gates of television land, ready to unleash its unquestioning condemnation onto its next victim: the TV Soap.
Ever since the Archers arrived on our airwaves hundreds of years ago this nation has become addicted to soaps, and now the sheer number of them threatens us like bullfrogs in Australia. The only option is a cull. This week one soap will go off our cliff to plummet down with the only thing to cushion it from the rocks being the Crocs from last week.
So you can nominate now, as of ever the worst two will take their votes into the final and run off against each other over the course of the show until at the end, one of them gets pushed off!
So get voting now. Whether you hate Eastenders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Doctors, Hollyoaks, Brookside, Neighbours, Home & Away, Crossroads, The Bill, Holby City, or any others then this is your chance to remove one from society. Get voting now.
As of ever you can comment on the show and vote that way, go to Facebook and vote there, you can go to MySpace and email us, you can go to Bebo and comment us, or you can email us at popgoestherevolution@hotmail.co.uk. There are just so many options.
So get nominating and don't forget to tune in at our brand new time of 12pm on THURSDAY!

On tonight's show I will present the usual smorgasbord of musical confection from across the sonic spectrum, Dan le Sac and Scroobius Pip to Juliana Hatfield and the awesome Errors. As always the playlist consists exclusively of music by artists you can see performing in this fair city over the next fortnight. Tonight's show will also feature what is, in my opinion anyway, the saddest song ever. So for that, and many other delights besides, I warmly invite you all to Get in the Van.

beard asks you to kill your timid notion
On this week's show we'll be previewing Kill Your Timid Notion, Dundee's pioneering festival devoted to exploring the borders between sound and vision. Brought to you by the good people behind Glasgow's Instal Festival and The Music Lover's Field Companion in Gateshead, KYTN brings together experimental music, performance, art and film, making for an experience that'll open your ears, eyes, and mind. While we can only represent the sonic side of the festival, we hope our selections will have you intrigued - expect to hear sounds electric and acoustic, digital and analogue, human and animal. We're not joking about the animals by the way.
http://www.arika.org.uk/kytn/2008/
All that plus the usual mix of miscued records, overuse of the word "awesome", and new tracks from some of our favourite artists.

dan-less
On tonight's thrilling instalment Dan will be... well, it's hard to say exactly what he'll be doing, because he's buggered off to Edinburgh to see Dananananaykroyd, so you're stuck with Chris again. He did leave the songs he wants played though, so we've split the show in two - one half is fairly upbeat and rockin', the other half is miserable bastard music. See if you can guess whose is whose.

One Louder returns this afternoon with our regular features; this week's Local Band should be well known to all who followed Bop 'Til You Drop last semester, but since then they've been on tour and recently recorded a lot of their new material - a preview of which we'll be playing today so don't miss out!
We also have our weekly Troggs cover lined up, and of course we will be paying homage to the late but great Ed Cobb.
It is the 5th anniversary of Glasgow's most rockin' club night tonight, and we will be celebrating by having All Tore Up!'s own Aaron at the wheel for our second hour, so all you cats and kittens can get in the right mood.

the paulson plan
Music For Pleasure // 04.10.08
In one of the lesser publicised aspects of the banking bailout, the US government has promised £25 to save the ailing stocks of Subcity's flagship charity shop record show. Speculators have been short selling shares in the show's backlog of vinyl gold and bad debts for the last few weeks and a worldwide collapse in forgotten gems had been forseen by many analysts before news of this short term cash injection.
Assuming the plan is passed by the house of representatives you can expect an hour of 'new to us' tunes bought direct from Glasgow's premier second hand record shop complete with guest co-host risk management expert to the stars Paul (the money man) McClelland. There will be a £1 single of the week (prices having risen massively in recent months) a mystery bag mega mix and if any tunes don't pass muster then we'll be record breaking again before the show's out.

shark out deh - sun 5th oct 2008 - 1-3 pm
Hey folks,
This week's show is a skanking, 'one drop'-ping, Reggae extravaganza.
I'll be playing some Ska, some old-school Dancehall, a bit of Dub and probably several other sub-genres of Reggae I've never even heard of. Expect to hear Bob Marley, Dillinger, U Roy, Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Burning Spear, Prince Buster, Errol Holt and many more.
The Spotlight falls on one of Reggae's lesser known, but still prodigiously prolific, producer/performers: Roy Richards. He started performing and recording back in the 60s and passed away just last year. I'll be playing a few of his best tracks. Simple.
The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of the songs that first exposed my lily-white ears to the riddim:
1. Eric Clapton - I Shot The Sherriff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UddURb0alQc
Released in 1974, Bob Marley apparently told Eric that he quite liked Clapton's cover version of the track from the Wailer's Burnin' album of '73.
2. The Specials - A Message To You Rudy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGDQ85Dg-ss
From 1979, this is a cover of Dandy Livingston's original; Rudy, A Message To You from 1967.
To decide which one plays the show out get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

fashion & presenters
Pop Goes The Revolution // 03.10.08
Unfortunately due to extraneous factors George will not be in the studio this week. However Nikki will still be there at the helm to direct the Revolution on its steady course.
It’s also possibly a good thing that George will not be there this week, as this week the Cliff List turns its cynical eye towards fashion, a subject which George knows nothing about. To replace him Nikki will be joined by close friend, fashion expert, and Glasgow’s largest gossip, Lorna, as well as another close friend, the witty token emo, Allan. The two guests and Nikki will be directing the Cliff List to its course as well as bringing you the usual guide to music and events throughout this fair city.
However, as of ever we still need nominations for our cliff list, so begin nominating now. Are full body tracksuits the biggest sin, what about knee-length leggings, or those stupid Croc things people where on their feet. Nominate the popular fashion fascination that you find most annoying and if you’re lucky you may just find it removed from our world.
Please start nominating now. As of ever you can do this on the Subcity website, you can nominate at MySpace (www.myspace.com/popgoestherevolution), join us at Facebook, or email your nomination to popgoestherevolution@hotmail.co.uk.
Please send in the nominations, and join a slightly different Pop Goes The Revolution this Friday for an exciting journey into the depths of pop culture.

rock-n-roll disco party
Thanks very much to BaNg!bAng! and Olivia F for steering the good ship Suck My Left One for the last two weeks. This week sees the return of Kate W, shambolic rambling, and schizophrenic play-lists.
The first half of the show will be celebrating the recent release of the 6th studio album of Australian rock collosses (collossi?) Magic Dirt, with a mini-special spanning some of their 16 years in music.
The second half of the show will segue (or more likely lurch gracelessly) into something completely different: disco party! Gold hot-pants at the ready, SMLO will be bringing you some of the butt-shakin'est dance tracks that we've been shimmying to over the summer.

r-p-z dee jays
Subcity Presents... // 28.09.08
R-P-Z (the artists formerly known as Record Playerz) host their nightclub every Thursday at the Glasgow school of art. Each week you can experience digital stimulation, non-stop dancing, bent disco, wrong sounds…
Without dishonest hype or leaching off the fame of budget-busting guests to inflate its reputation, the club sells out (often turning away hundreds of punters) week after week after week, providing Glasgow with one of its most exciting resident based club events, and squarely placing R-P-Z among the top clubs in Scotland.
Following on from their shows last year on Subcity and their sell out appearance at the station's research club party in March, R-P-Z return to the sweaty Subcity studio for 2 hours of aural arousal.

need for speed...
Tonight I drove the van as if I had stolen it and managed (just about) to cram eighteen tracks into the hour. GITV 2 featured a breakneck (though rather inexpertly beatmatched, shame on me) Marcel Dettman mix as well as superb songs by Daedelus, Dan le Sac and Dananananackroyd, as well as (keeping with the alliteration for now) contributions from Roots Manuva and Ronnie Spector, as well as a beautiful tearjerker from Spiritualized.
I promised I'd write an events diary for music featured on tonight's show, so here goes...
Monday 29th September -Ronnie Spector and The Ronettes (Arches)
Tuesday 30th September -Frightened Rabbit (The Arches) -Friendly Fires (King Tut's)

The Self Raising Flour Hour Of Power // 30.09.08
On Tuesday 30th September we will be joined in the studio by, it seems, an unknown member (or members) of the band Errors! They (or he) will be on having a wee chat, playing some choice records and eating cake in a very aristocratic manner. We should hopefully also be having a wee ticket giveaway for another act! Tune in to find out! Tuesday 30th Sept 5-7pm

beard radio episode 3
From hurricane lashed Texas to a dreich Glasgow, Beard co-founder Neil Jaques is back! And he's brought some amazing old records from his father-in-law's collection with him. Meanwhile, Stewart will be dropping some recently acquired bombs. So after a barrage of new releases for our first show, we fancied going for a kind of new old theme this week. So we'll be winding back a couple of years, then back to the 1940s, before beaming right back through time again, like music geek timelords.

gitv 2
Having listened to last week's show I have decided that from now on I won't be announcing details for specific events on the show- it leads to complicated lists that I'll probably misread as well as taking up valuable time that I could be using to play more records, and it's boring chat frankly. From tonight onwards I will list upcoming performances by artists that have featured on GITV in an announcement I will post online at the same time as submitting my playlist.
Tonight's Get In The Van will feature music that straddles genres and decades, from Roots Manuva to Ronnie Spector. I'm ridiculously excited!

funky down easy
Does Not Affect Play // 25.09.08
This week on Does Not Affect Play I'll be turning my attention to the subject of funk. If you don't know what funk is here's a definition from Peter Wermelinger's superb Funky and Groovy Music Records Lexicon. "Funk is that bumpy and groovy sound that hits your belly, sends out waves through the whole body, making you move your feet, nod your head and feel alright." I'll be spinning an hour of these sounds from 7-8pm this Thursday so put your radio and your dancing shoes on and get ready to do your thing.
If you missed last week's episode, "Tittyshakers and Other Unmentionables", then you can still find it on listen again complete with a full playlist. If it left you gagging for more then don't fret as there'll be a healthy dose of bust bouncers in the "Oddities For Oddballs" edition of Does Not Affect Play coming in a few weeks time.

out of africa - sunday 28th sep 2008 - 1-3 pm
Hey folks,
Journeys returns on Sunday with another visit to Africa. I'll be playing a few old favourites from last year's African shows and a few 'new' ones too. Expect to hear Fela Kuti, Manu Dibango, The Mercury Dance Band, Orchestra Baobab, William Onyeabor and more!
The Spotlight is on Ethiopia this week. I was tempted to do a full show on Ethiopian music, but I figured that as a slightly acquired taste, it might not be enjoyed as much by the listeners as it was by the host - I also did a full hour show last year! Instead I'm going to play just a few of my favourite tracks by artists such as Alemayehu Eshete, Ayalew Mesfin and Mahmoud Ahmed.
This week's Weird But Wonderful vote is a clash of cultures as two versions of the same song fight it out:
1. Martin Solveig vs Salif Keita - Madan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3UaoJSowvY
The French House maestro delivers a stonking Westernised dance-floor remix of Salif Keita's original.
2. Salif Keita - Madan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vmLW8Tqg14
The original... and the best?
To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.
Journeys. It's a trip!

Rock n Roll Meltdown // 25.09.08
Once again Thursday teatime will be lost in a haze of crazy psychedelia, punk, garage, glam, sleaze and most importantly; rock n' roll as ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN is once again live on Subcity Radio at 5pm-7pm.
There will be the classic features: 'Cobwebs & Strange', 'Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em' as well as the usual chat from Pete and his neverending list of amazing tunes.
Oh yeah, if you've got any decent, properly rock n' roll requests or stories of an amusing or informative nature you can email the studio: studio@subcity.org or text us: text "subcity" + your message to 07766 40 41 42.

the nme, q, kerrang? which is most rubbish?
Pop Goes The Revolution // 26.09.08
Last week as we looked ashamed at the dreadful pun we pushed off Cliff Richard's Millenium Prayer off the Cliff and on its plummeting journey.
This week the Cliff List Inquisittion has moved its territory and is now searching the world of music magazines for something so dreadful that it must meet its doom at the bottom of a cliff.
So, this week, you can decide what music magazine deserves to meet its end. Does NME stand for nauseating musical excrement , has Q ruined the 17th letter of the alphabet, is Scotland's List magazine at the bottom of your list, is Kerrang just pants? You can decide, you can vote now by joining our Facebook page, or on our MySpace. The leadng two by Friday will battle it out over the course of the show before one is condemned to the rocks beneath.
If you want you can even email your vote for the worst music magazine at popgoestherevolution@hotmail.co.uk
As a side we will also be discussing the migrationa patterns of Snap Fax sellers, how to make Hadrons cool, and inevitably playing some excellent music that you will hopefully have never heard before.

Our second installment of the OOFT! odyssey continues today with more upfront edits, classic jams and club bangers.
Our Two Much Love feature today will be showcasing two tracks from the highly under-rated Robert Palmer.

my first night at the wheel
That's the first show online, a slight shambles perhaps, but I guess that's part of the fun. Tonight we took a bit of of a joyride through the genres, from straight-faced techno and boggle-eyed rave to intimate acoustic tracks and some epic electronica. While each show will vary quite radically from the last in terms of playlist, I guess tonight was probably a fair representation of the sort of range of music you can expect to hear on Get In The Van
I had a good time in the studio tonight, and I'm already looking forward to next week's show. Hope some of you will have a listen this week, please use the forums to let me know if there was anything you especially liked, or alternatively anything you thought was unutterably rubbish.
Also let me know if there's any bands/producers/DJs playing in Glasgow over the next few weeks who you would really like to hear some music by
cheers,
Colin

funk, funk - sunday 21st sep 2008 - 1-3 pm
Hey folks,
Journeys is back, back, back!
Only I got so wrapped up in putting the show together that I have completely forgotten to let you all know it is happening.
The first show of Season 2 of Journeys is; 'Funk, Funk'.
It's a wee meander along the groovy pathways of 1970s American funk.
Artists likely to make an appearance include: Cameo (yes, Cameo!), Parliament, Funkadelic, CJ & Co., Ebony Rhythm Funk Campaign, Ohio Players, Maxayne, Dennis Cofffey and more.
Weird But Wonderful
I've never been one to avoid crowbarring Reggae into a show, so the Weird But Wonderful contenders for this week are:
1. Toots & The Maytals - Funky Kingston
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sz1hXawwx
'Reggae-funk' carried off by Frederick 'Toots' Hibbert's earthy, soulful vocals.
2. Shark Wilson & The Basement Heaters - Make It Reggae
http://www.last.fm/music/Shark%2BWilson%2B%2526%2BThe%2BBasement%2BHeaters/_/Make+It+Reggae
A reggae version of the James Brown classic (Make It Funky). It is reggae and it is funky. (Click to link to audio)
To vote, get in touch during the show: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42. The winner plays the show out.
Spotlight On...
As the show has been extended to 2 hours, I'm including an extra wee feature this year, which will look at a particular artist (or label, or song, or whatever I feel like) that I consider particularly important to the theme of that week's show. This week, as it's funk, I'm going to look at the best funk backing-band in the world... ever! It's the J.B.'s! Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, Jabo Starks, William 'Bootsy' Collins and Bobby Byrd are amongst the many members of this stellar line up, which backed James Brown and had a number of releases of their own. I'll be playing a few J.B.'s headline tracks (although the Godfather can definitely be heard on at least a couple of them), which showcase their musical dexterity and just downright 'funky-ness'!
For all this goodness just tune in to http://www.subcity.org, 1-3 PM Sunday 21st September 2008!

is back.... on a thursday?
Rock n Roll Meltdown // 18.09.08
It's true: ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN has abandoned Sunday as a day for rocking and instead will be returning to Subcity Radio this THURSDAY (yeah, i said THURSDAY) 18TH SEPTEMBER at 17:00 until 19:00.
But just cos the time has changed, doesn't mean the exceptional quality of ROCK N ROLL, PUNK, GARAGE, PSYCHEDELIA, GLAM, SLEAZE, TRASH, METAL (and whatever else i fancy playing) will have. Nor will the informative and entertaining chat, and there's always the potential of some guests arriving at this new awkward time too.
Also involved will be the classic features: 'Cobwebs & Strange', 'Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em' and maybe even a new mysterious feature if i can finish building the apparatus in time. Maybe next week then....
Oh yeah, if you've got any non-shit requests or stories of a rock n' roll nature you can email the studio: studio@subcity.org or text me: text "subcity" + your message to 07766 40 41 42.
It's also the 100th episode of the show so if you wanna buy presents or that, that's cool with me.
ANYWAY MAKE SURE YOU TUNE IN ON THURSDAY 17:00 - 19:00 and there's always listen again....
Posted at 14:21, 17th September 2008
first installment
The first installment of this season's show sees us recapping some tunes that have been doing the business for us over the summer. Keep the ears peeled for fresh re-edits from The Revenge, Cole Medina, and OOFT of course ;)
We'll also be introducing some new weekly features to keep things fresh - High Vaultage & Two Much Love. Each week we'll be digging through the crates to pick out a track which has inspired & enthralled us on our musical journey, or has just stayed & stayed & stayed in the record box for many a moon. Two Much Love will showcase an artist or label that has similarly been inspirational to us over the years.

We hope you will join us at the beginning of our journey as we start the pop culture revolution.

Don't want to give away our playlist, but to give you a few clues expect guitar shredding math-pop, underwater dream-dirge and much tautological mangling.

nominations now open for the "cliff list"
Each week on the show we will be asking yourselves to vote on a particular piece of pop-culture horror. At the end of the show the item deemed to be the worst by public vote will be pushed off a cliff, and as if by psychological treatment, will be removed from our lives so that we may all be more fulfilled. However, the question is, just what should go off the cliff?
You can nominate anything from pop culture that you like. If there's a movie you despise, a song that makes you have to leave nightclub floors, a magazine you have to buy just so you can set fire to it, or a band that makes you throw the radio through a wondow everytime they're played; whatever it is that you loath from our world you can get rid of it, and have it banished off the edge of our cliff.
So get nomainating now. Each week will we take two of the best items and bring them to the table to be voted on by you, and at the end of the show, one of them is going.
Send in your nominations to us live on air, or alternatively email us at popgoestherevolution@hotmail.co.uk, or for a third alternative join us on our Facebook group or MySpace and nominate there.
The cliff list begins.

The Self Raising Flour Hour Of Power // 16.09.08
TSRFHOP returns with a head hung low tomorrow as we mourn our too-late mourning of something that has passed too soon.

Alec Baldwin will not be involved.

This one should feature more non-stop, independent, compassionate, ritualistic, barnyard, off yer face on solvents beat recital come disco dance-a-rama sort of behaviour.
There will also be an assortment of free cakes some of which we bake ourselves, some of which we buy, others that simply appear as if by Kipling.

subcity sci-fi freshers' week news
Hello and welcome to Subcity Sci-Fi News: 2038
The Sci-Fi news team will be bringing all you Freshers the news from the week, even if it hasn't happened already in your timeline. From Wiley (We found that girl that bumped your Rolex, mate) at the GUU, the Ministry of Sound (Not a real government department, well not so far in your timeline) at the QMU and obviously the Subcity Party in Deep6 at the GUU to the Treasure Island Cheesy Pop at the QMU, Professors Henrington, Windimire and von Klinkerhoffen will be telling it like it is/was/will be.
Comment for a vote on what sci-fi inspired music our resident DJs the Ghetto Scientist and DJ Kaftan should play. Will it be mad Russian psy-trance? A mix of Detroit and Glasgow techno? Grinding electro?

solar at the merchant city festival
That's right, everyone's favorite Solar Island idiots Shaun and Matthew are appearing live at the Tron Theater (bar) on Friday 26th September 2008 as part of the Merchant City Festival.
Obnoxiously loud music for idiots will be played by Shaun, whilst Matthew projects his Visual AIDS onto the walls via a knackered 35mm slide projector. Expect the Pet Shop Boys with pictures of Will Lord.
Free entry for skewsmees from 2200-0100. Everyone else should be at the Research Club for the Subcity Party. Remember this sacrifice they have made: they are guaranteeing no skewsmees at the Subcity night. That is worth a fucking medal.
