I'm considering stopping this blog as it doesn't seem to get much traffic. It's only real purpose seems to be the streaming of the weekly podcast, and I guess I could just post links directly from MixCloud. It's a shame because I like finding videos, posting reviews and generally presenting YtN&tM in this extended format, but it takes me a couple of hours on a weekend to put together, which I could spend being more productive. I have no idea whether people actually use or like the blog as I get virtually no feedback.... Even as I type this, I'm pretty certain that I'm the only person that will read it! Pah!

Show #051: 23 Skidoo, Bush Tetras, Factory Floor & more!

YtN&tM #051

This week's show was virtually dominated with guitars, and was a blast to put together. The show starts with Wire, who I had seen the night before recording at the Brudenell in Leeds, and as ever, They didn't disappoint. New(ish) recruit Matthew Simms is proving to be a worthy replacement for Mr Gilbert with plenty of atonal guitar work adding an ugly edge to classic Wire tracks as well as the newer material.

1. Wire - Spent
2. MAYa - The Takers
3. Savages - Shut Up
4. Paul Amlehn - The Snow of your Name
5. Dance Chapter - Backwards Across Thresholds
6. 23 Skidoo - Last Words
7. Bush Tetras - Das a Riot
8. Blixa Bargeld & Teho Teardo - Konjunktiv II
9. Factory Floor - Here Again
10. Michael Brook - Shona Bridge
11. Battles - B + T

Next week we celebrate our first birthday... 52 shows in a row is quite an achievement in my book. I'll be playing my favourite tracks that have been released since the show started. I hope you'll join me on 102.6fm in Doncaster or stream from Sine FM.
