This time I played my usual selection of eclectic tunes and I’m also pleased to announce the return of the live song. With my cold under control I attempted the country classic “Sunday Morning Coming Down”, got most of the words wrong but had fun. Hope you enjoy it too. 00:00 – Talco – Oro Nero – CC BY-ND Licensed – An Italian ska punk band recommended to me by Doug Whitfield of Music Manumit and I played a track a while ago. They hail from Marghera, Italy. I rediscovered them recently. From the album Combat Circus on Jamendo. 08:14 – The Orchestra – Plenty Of Nothing – License Unknown – Swedish country/blues band who I met recently at Liverpool Acoustic Spotlight. Graham Holland asked if they could borrow my guitar and I agreed. Lovely guys and a really good band. 12:39 – Jiboul – Premium Test – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A French electro/drum and bass artist. Album available on Jamendo. Recommended to my by @yamatt 🙂 22:43 – 8in8 – One Tiny Thing – CC BY-NC Licensed – Fascinating project. This group features Ben Folds (You should know him), Amanda Palmer (Dresden Dolls), Damien Kulash (OK Go) and Neil Gaiman (Legendary writer). Quite a line up. They got together and recorded this EP Nighty Night, then released it under CC and put it on Bandcamp. I’ll probably play more in coming shows. Thanks to Ted Sedovic for directing this my way. You can buy the whole thing for 1 dollar on Bandcamp, well worth it. 25:55 – Joe Ressington – Lies – License Unknown Massive apology to Mrs Heeed, who’s real name is apparently Vicky and not Julie. I still swear I heard Julie but I suppose Heeed knows his own wife’s name better than me. 33:15 – Danjyon Kimura – TELEPORTER – CC NY-NC-SA Licensed – A nice bit of 8-bit Chiprock that was recommended by @kevie – This artist is Japanese but I don’t know a great deal more about them. 35:23 – Rachel Brown – Bumblebee – License Unknown – No idea where I found this now as it was in my big list of things to listen to. I probably got it from AMPed. Amazing voice. Great song. I will endeavor to find out more about Rachel for you. You can by the extended single of Bumblebee on iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby. So go get it, I did 🙂 43:29 – Joe Ressington – The Loss Of Summer – License Unknown 49:20 – LIVE TRACK – “Sunday Morning Coming Down” – Written by Kris Kristofferson and most famously performed by Johnny Cash. 54:24 – Vero Sego – Unoticed – License Unknown – One again a track I found in my massive list from months ago. No idea where I got it but this is a French band from Toulouse and they sound great. You can hear more on their myspace page. 62:03 – The Orchestra – Liverpool (View Two Gallery) – License Unknown – Another track from my Swedish friends. Hope you enjoy this track they wrote about Liverpool. Donations & Support: Kind donations came in from David Whitman and Evgeny Kuznetsov. Plus all the people who clicked the Flattr buttons.
