Sound System Podcast #43

Another week, another podcast from KilkennyMusic.com. No Ross this week, no Daw, so we welcome Mickey Boo back behind the mic for some insight into the developing world of gangster rap amongst other things.

There’s chat about this weekend’s blog awards, next week’s One Take Sessions, the uptake of recordings for bands in Kilkenny, gigs for the weekend, the Eurovision and a whole load more all crammed into 36-odd minutes.

There’s also music from

• Jester - ‘Scream’
• Deaf Animal Orchestra - ‘All Together Now’
• Floyd Soul & The Wolf - ‘I Am The Room’
• Shiversaint - ‘Denial’.

I’ll admit, we forgot to introduce Shiversaint as we played out on the podcast so we’ll talk a little about them next week. You can visit their MySpace here or catch them live in April on the X at Y.

Until next week…

Enjoy.

Sound System Podcast #42

We’re past the half way mark in February and into our third (?) show of the month. No Ross this week, my media-whoring-cohort is away for this and the next show so we’ve got Daw in studio for a chat over the duration of the podcast.

When the two of us get together for a podcast recording it’s certainly a little more laid break so break out the cups of tea and put your feet up for some chat about the One Take Sessions, recent gigs in Kilkenny, working with managers - or not working with managers as well as updates on studio happenings with Chemical Addition, Atrax Mantis and Rarely Seen Above Ground and plenty more to boot in close to the usual 45 minutes..

There’s also music this week from

• Dirty Epics - ‘The Cure’
• Chaplin - ‘Puppeteers’
• Dry County - ‘Carol Of The Bells’
• Rarely Seen Above Ground - ‘Track 2′

Next week might well see Boo return to the studio, who knows? We’ll be looking forward to the 2008 Irish Blog Awards on next weeks show with a run down of categories, bloggers, prizes and the likes before myself and Mr. Costigan jet off to the big smoke for the March 1st event. If you want to get your news in, you’ve got until midnight Tuesday (February 26th) to drop us a line.

Email the studio on podcast@kilkennymusic.com and we’ll do the rest.

Sound System Podcast #41

We’re back again… only this time it’s our “love cast”.

Okay, secretly it has nothing to do with love, or hate, but it’s Valentine’s week after all. Since we’d already used Saving J’s Valentine on a recent show we could even play that song!

You will get some valentines facts though, some cheesy pick up lines, some shitty valentine’s day experiences and some zombie love (where would we be without zombies!)

There’s also talk of CreativeCamp, the 2008 Irish Blog Awards, some photography, gigs, word from the forum along with music from

• Super Extra Bonus Party - ‘Everything Flows’
• Rohan - ‘Dinner’
• You’re Only Massive - ‘SugarShake The Cool Away’
• Saving J - ‘Downtown Bliss’

Don’t forget, if you want to get in touch with us for the podcast, to send in your gig details, MP3s etc. then drop a line to studio B by emailing podcast@kilkennymusic.com. Someone will pick up. We’re sure of it!

Until next week,

Adios.

Sound System Podcast #40

We’re back once again with the Sound System Podcast and we’ve hit yet another round number.

We’re also on a mission to get to show #85 by the end of the year, how successful that is remains to be seen but we’re optimistic all the same.

This week for you we’ve four more tracks, another celebrity death, talk of upcoming gigs, the 2008 calendar for the One Take Sessions, Mycrofilms news and lots more.

There’s music from

• The Arrangements - ‘Mr Frazier’
• Fireland - ‘My Eternal’
• Angel Pier - ‘Sprites’
• Reclaim - ‘Fool’

Next week we’re looking at a “love cast” and we want to know what’s the worst ever, as in absolute shite gesture you’ve seen, done, or received on Valentine’s day. Whether a message in a card, a gift from a girlfriend / boyfriend / husband / wife, anything at all. If it makes you go “bleugh” when you think of it then we want to hear about it.

Send in your worst experience (anonymity guaranteed if you don’t want your name read out!) by Wednesday February 13th (to arrive no later than 7pm) via email to podcast@playlistmix.com.
