SnC 393 – All At Sea
Tom Caruana brings a maritime feel to the start of this week’s show with a magnificent tour of what used to be considered the finest broadcasting in the world – at least by those who produced it. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore. We’ve got some enticing tracks from Lake Tahoe on the borders…

SnC 392 – Manitoba Showcase
Something of a little extra dimension for you this week in the form of a sneek preview of a Canadian music showcase event in New York that’s coming up in a couple of weeks. We’ve got tracks from all four Manitoba-based bands that will be playing at Arlene’s Grocery in the Lower East Side and…

SnC 391 – With a single bound
And with a single bound – well after three days without power or web last week – we’re back. Nothing’s changed, just the same old quirky collection of new and interesting music to make up your blast of fresh musical air from a still drafty barn on the east coast of England. the blast this…

SnC 390 – Stormy weather
A change from the planned edition this week, because we had a bit of a storm go through Suffolk on Monday morning which knocked out much of the electrical supply and phone lines, particularly outside the main towns and villages. Unfortunately we are in what the electricity company considered to be an “isolated rural location”. So the…

SnC 389 – Just a bit dreamy
We go a bit dreamy in parts this week. With some gorgeous sounds pulled together into fabulous music from around the world, including Brighton, Berlin, Brooklyn and Brisbane, as well as Michigan and LA. I have to confess to being put onto a great artist by my old buddy Pete Cogle at PC Podcast …

SnC 388 – In the wrong place
The accordion and bandoneon make welcome appearances on at least two tracks this week as we sample the musical delights of Kansas City, Chicago, Germany, Tokyo, The Netherlands, Ohio and Toronto. We’ve also got a few hot tips for CMJ which is in full swing in New York until Saturday. That’s Not Affection –…

SnC 387 – Ass to the people
With tracks from New Orleans to Margate this week you can just tell it’s going to be an interesting mix. Jitterbug Vipers have to be the quirky find of the week although there’s also fascinating music from Jadea Kelly, Little Suns, Funke and The Two Tone Baby, Professor Kliq and Spanish artist Johann Music. To…

SnC 386 – Challenge and delight
Another quirky selection to challenge and delight. A challenge for me too because I didn’t think I liked “Hip Hop, Indie Pop, Electronica, and Ambient” music fused into a soulful funk but I just love a track coming up from Black Eskimo. We’ve got a couple of reggae tracks too, one from Ireland and the…

SnC 385 – Back, and fully released
It’s so good to be back after the summer break which was half forced on me by the dearth of good enough music to play for you and half caused by something rather like exhaustion from all the crap that’s been going on with family health issues. None, thankfully affecting me, but time and energy…

SnC 384 – Break time
I had rather hoped we’d be back to normal this week but I’ve spent the past five hours auditioning tracks for the show and I’ve come up with a total of two that I think make the grade for you. The supply just seems to be dominated by shallow, pointless light-weight and poorly played summer…

SnC 383 – We’re AMPed
An unusual show for you this week. We have rather demanding family circumstances entailing an elderly parent’s funeral to arrange for Friday. I’m dealing with the bureaucratic ramifications of registering deaths, getting all the paperwork in place for cremation, etc. I’m afraid SnC is one of a number of things that have had to be…

SnC 382 – Aynsley Lister
What? SnC released a couple of days early? Well there’s a good reason. I wanted to give UK listeners maximum opportunity to arrange their Thursday evening so as to catch Aynsley Liater at the New Crawdaddy Club in Essex. It’s a short show this week because of a coupe of health-related issues in the immediate…
