SnC 335 – No scoffing
Music from New York rather dominates this week but Maryland and LA get looks in and we close with a spectacular track from the ever exciting Xera from Asturia on the north coast of Spain. When you’ve finished listening, and not a minute before ;), do follow the vimeo link in the Active Child notes…

SnC 334 – Steamy August?
So now its August. Whatever happened to July? A really pleasing selection of tracks this week including something slightly steamy from the wonderful Marla Mase. Take a listen and tell me if I should be tagging the show “Explicit” – whatever that means. Do you expect the show to be totally work and family safe…

SnC 333 – Saskatchewan to Tasmania
Great new independent music this week comes from MA, TX in the US, a couple of tracks from Toronto and Regina in Canada, a couple from London, plus one each from opposite ends of the world Brooklyn and Tasmania. The weather finally turned hot in the past few days here in the east of England.…

SnC 332 – Partying in Guadalajara?
It’s Adnams Artist of the Month time this week with a fascinating volunteer to select the winning artist, Kurt Hartle makes some insightful observations and comes up with a rather surprising but wholly deserving choice. There was a time, not long ago, when coffee at a hotel would have been pretty dire. The Crown in Southwold served…

SnC 331 – Smack My Botty
A hand-picked selection of the freshest new music for you again this week with tracks from Brick+Mortar, The Glitch Mob, The Dust Engineers, Maren Parusel, Beast Make Bomb, House of Blondes and Crystalyne. BTW for those of a sensitive disposition there is a word in Snot Nosed Dweeb (no not any of those words) that…

SnC 330 – Independence Day
This week, since the show falls on July 4th, we celebrate independence with tracks from three former British colonies or dependent territories, USA, Canada and Australia. Well, actually there are four with a final track from Morecambe (it’s in Lancashire but pretty much looks at the Cumbrian Fells across the bay). So, a celebration of…

SnC 329 – Post Podcrawl
Podcrawl on Saturday was a welcome distraction and had a pretty good turnout. The conversation was of an exceptionally high and useful level. I was particularly pleasing to see two almost faded podcasters, Sarah Morrison (IR New York) and Gabor Kovacs (Electrical Language) getting, and showing signs of getting respectively, back into the saddle. Yesterday…

SnC 328 – nearly not
I actually managed to get away from the studio for an hour or so yesterday, over to Snape Maltings – our local pretty highbrow music venue which hosts much of the world renowned Aldeburgh Festival each year. I was surprised to see this billboard on one end of the main building and I’ll admit it took a…

SnC 327 – Prep for Podcrawl
Who says the CD is dead? I must admit that they are something of a rarity these days but this week, Andy the postman has been hauling them up from the road almost daily. Meanwhile, London is preparing itself for Podcrawl on 23rd. I found this classic cafe near Liverpool Street station. There really aren’t…

SnC 326 – Normal?
After what feels like at least a week of activities to mark the 60th year of the Queen’s reign, I’m hoping that we can get back to what passes for normality fairly soon. We’ve been bombarded with images and commentary telling us how much more exciting these grand state occasions are than our normal humdrum life.…

SnC 325 – Seat of the pants
A “seat of the pants” show this week with a couple of the tracks coming in even as the show was being recorded. I’m also getting a feeling that more artists and labels are “getting” what music podcasting can do for them. About time too 😉 Direct contact with some lovely musicians over the past…

SnC 324 – Coney Island
Suddenly early spring has turned into full-on summer here on this part of the east coast of England. I think this may be reflected in this week’s choices of music. Throw your cold drinks and towel in the back of the car, flip the roof down and let’s head for the coast. Well, Coney Island…
