Source Tags and Mixtapes // 04.02.12 // Built To Grind
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?

the birth & death of st&m
Source Tags and Mixtapes // 28.01.12 // Returner
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.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 03.12.11 // Enduction Hour
This is the last regular-format episode of the year before I kick into my end of year list across the next two weeks, and it's a pretty spontaneous one - I spin a couple of freshly purchased goodies (John Maus, Neds Atomic Dustbin), and Allan from She Said even guests towards the end to talk about The Fall. At the time of writing, Okkervil River are offering a gorgeous new EP of covers for free over on their website. Grab it fast!
See you next week for part one of Source Tags & Mixtapes' favourite records of 2011 (#20 - #11).
