Download Ogg – Download Mp3 http://traffic.libsyn.com/ratholeradio/RR059_23_08_11.mp3 | Open Player in New Window A slightly late Rathole Radio this time. Please accept my apologies for that. I have a cold at the minute and can’t seem to sing or talk as normal. I missed the live show on Sunday due to this but I couldn’t leave you hanging another 2 weeks. So here’s some excellent tunes I played in a recorded show. It’s mostly pretty relaxed music this time so put your feet up and enjoy. 00:00 – Rackets VS Ved – Just Friends – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A big thank you to JonTheNiceGuy for sending this my way. Fascinating collaborative project between young musicians in Camden and New Zealand. 06:40 – Fit & The Conniptions – Spider Song – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Another track from Wayne. 09:07 – Peet Cal – NJ Giants – License Unknown – A New Jersey rapper who contacted me recently via email. I really like the sound of his voice and his flow. Check him out at http://askuniversity.com 14:24 – Thursday Group – Lynch’s Law – License Unknown – Emailed to me by listener Bill Zingler. He calls it progressive Jazz but I thought it had more of a Spanish guitar feel. He found it on Magnatune and says members are allowed to use these tracks on podcasts. Get over there and buy a copy if you like it 🙂 18:26 – Fit & The Conniptions – Broken – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Wayne came and played for us at OggCamp and he’s a top bloke. I wanted to remind you all of his brilliance. Thank Julie, Mrs Heeed, for making this Rathole Radio cuddly mascot. It’s incredible! The amazing mascot Julie made 25:25 – CiderbeardJoe – I Am Joe’s Wasted Life – License Unknown – I met Joe Ressington at OggCamp and he played a couple of songs for us on my guitar. I love his voice and the production on these tracks is great. There will be more, oh yes! 28:52 – Pikachunes Vs. Issey & Daniel – Change Now – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Another track from the Other Side Of The World project. A bit more electro this one. Great tune. 34:48 – Gardner Chamber Orchestra – Air On The G String (Paula Robinson director & flute) – License Unknown – Seminal work by Johann Sebastian Bach. Another piece from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum collection. I’ve played some other things in the past. An incredible resource for high quality freely licensed classical music. Their database is massive. 47:22 – MC Frontalot – Critical Hit – All Rights Reserved – A former guest on the show Frontalot does it again. His new album Solved will be out on August 23rd and this single is a preview. Order the album from his website now 🙂 Donations & Support: Kind donations came in from Alistair Kidd, Jackie (aka Zenith) and Evgeny Kuznetsov. Plus all the people who clicked the Flattr buttons.
