I don't know what happened. I posted podcast no 32 yesterday morning, and this evening, 36 hours later, it still wasn't showing in the feed. For example it could not be seen in the feedplayer on the right. I re-published it on the libsyn hosting site this evening, and all now seems ok.
If you read this and everything's not ok, please leave a comment or e-mail me (link on the right of this page). Thanks.

podcast no 32 - the boy/girl podcast
Play podcast no 32 (right-click then save as to download to your computer or mp3 player).
This podcast is all about duos, bands comprising a boy and a girl. They are:
bloodWIRE - Relinquish (Nemo mix). bloodWIRE are I-Li Chang and Shawn Brice from California. I played 2 of their songs on podcast no 7. This version of Relinquish is from the Multipass ep that I-Li and shawn sent me, containing special remixes of some of their songs for the Nemo Festival in Boston in October 2005. If you liked this, try their album Transformation.
Scottish brother and sister Steven Finnie and Jolene Crawford are Finniston. The second song in today's podcast is Listen To Your Mother from their album Popular Music That Will Live Forever. Finniston are founder members of the Wendy House collective, and the fifth song played, It Angers Me So is from Welcome To The Wendy House.
I played You (Always On My Mind) by Brackenridge in the now-deleted podcast no 1. Brackenridge were (they no longer exist as a unit) Shelley Brackenridge and Bill Matthews. I also played the version of this song by Evangeline, another Bill Matthews band, in podcast no 8, but as soon as I did that I got the news that Evangeline had ceased to be!
The Bads are from New Zealand. They are Dianne Swann and Brett Andrews. For a while they played in various bands in the UK and Dianne even performed with Radiohead. Earth From Space is the title track of their album, which is well worth getting: listen to Bit By Bit, which I played in podcast no 23.
For that "like I said" moment, the last song on the podcast is Interference by Electrum. A classic! Electrum used to be mysterious, electrumboy and electrumgirl, but they have since revealed themselves to be Caireen Harrison and Jamie Thompson. They say they used to be in Slow Loris and Angulus, but that you won't have heard of either.
So that's it, 6 songs for you. I talked over soundbed music by Williamson, Green Eyes and Map. I'm not quite happy with the sound of my bits - something changed when I put the computer set up back together after last week's furniture shifting. Let me know what you think.
The opening and closing music was written and performed by Tragic Shellsuit Disaster.

podcast no 31 - wearing two hats
Play podcast no 31 (to save to your computer or mp3 player: right-click, then save as)
[Saturday evening] I posted the podcast this morning, having recorded it on Tuesday. I've spent the day assembling furniture, as I explained when I recorded the podcast. The delivery van came nice and early - excellent service for an order placed on the net last Sunday (we specified a Saturday delivery). Also the self-assembly furniture was well-made and the assembly instructions easy to follow. But enough of that, let's get to the music:
Winston and The Telescreen - Let's Pretend We're Lovers. These guys are from Riverside, California, and when two members of the band aren't wearing their Winston and the Telescreen hats, they play in the next band.
Map - Strange Girl. I played another Map song a few weeks ago. I heard Strange Girl a few days ago and just had to ask Josh Dooley from the band for permission to play it, which was kindly given. When I sorted out the running order for this podcast I didn't realise the connection between the first two bands. I only discovered that when I came to check what I was going to say.
Caroline Vinciguerra - Bella's Song. And what a fantastic song. I'm going to submit this one to AMP'ed, the "house podcast" of the Association of Music Podcasting.
Circlesound - Feel The Energy and Seven Days. These guys are from Chester in the UK, and make an excellent sound. They also tell an excellent story about how they got together.
Today's soundbed music is by Map, Torchomatic and Cagey House. Many thanks to Tragic Shellsuit Disaster for the opening and closing music, composed and recorded especially for the electrical language podcast.

podcast no 30 - filling in the gaps
Play podcast no 30 (right-click then save as to download to your computer or mp3 player)
This one's a bit of a mish-mash, a gentle start with a louder ending.
To begin with, two Kates, both from Australia. Kate Miller-Heidke with Space They Cannot Touch, then Kate Winchester with Tightrope.
The remaining artists are all from the UK as we step up the tempo:
Anemo, from Brighton, with Fallout Renegade.
Syrus, from Windsor, and Damaged Goods.
Finally Caplyn from Newcastle upon Tyne in the North-East, and Shadowesque.
I filled in the gaps, talking over soundbed music by Green Eyes and Torchomatic.

podcast no 29 - Beauty and the Beast?
Play today's podcast (to download to your computer or mp3 player - right-click, then save as ...)
I've had all the music in today's podcast on my mp3 player for a few months, and I really had to get round to playing these tracks. Apologies to all the artists. Also, there's a more vigorous rock edge to all today's music.
Forza Italia! Today's first track is Mystical Elysian Love by Belladonna, from Rome. Belladonna have just completed a few gigs in the UK, so I really should have played them earlier.
Then Echograph from Scotland, with Break Me Down. Echograph say that they play guitars and drums and sing. They do indeed!
After that I played Moving To The Movement, by Jane Air from London. I played 2 Jane Air songs in podcast no 13. Moving to the Movement is from a new ep the band are presently working on, called Us:Them, to be released in the autumn.
Allez les Bleus! I finished with 2 tracks by the excellent (even if they number Yes amongst their influences) Hauteville from Paris. From Adam to Atom is followed by Monster.
In the podcast I talked about my very basic Heath Robinson type podcasting set up. Here are a couple of photos. The first is of the mic and the pc monitor with audacity up (note the desk lamp as microphone stand, with plastic g-clamp and pencil to hold the mic in place.) The second shows the kit.

podcast no. 28 - music for missed penalties
Play podcast no 28 (right-click, then save as, to download to your computer or mp3 player).
Today's podcast is a day late after Caroline and I went to Rutland on Friday for the wedding of our friends Piers and Diana. Piers is Richard's godfather. They've gone on a walking holiday in Slovenia for their honeymoon. The food at the reception was fabulous: just look.
Yesterday we drove back, about 160 miles, looking at Rutland Water on the way, then deciding not to stop in Stamford given the hordes of people there in the heat of the day. So we got home in time to see it become 40 years of hurt.
And with that, to the music. Today's show starts with Cry No More by Graystar. Graystar are from Edinburgh, Scotland, and their Album "A Million Pieces" is due to be released in August 2006.
I played Never Never Land by Brown Bag Special in podcast no 1. I've taken that podcast down, so it's now a collectors' item, exchanging hands for large amounts of cash on eBay (I wish!). I digress: this is an excellent song by a four piece from Tucson, Arizona.
I first heard the Hotrod Cadets on the tartanpodcast more than a year ago. My Heart Sinks is a great pop song from their album Breaking Up. The Cadets have another album out any time now. I'll bring news when I have some.
The last 2 songs were by Id Guinness, from Vancouver, Canada. Id Guinness is a fan of Roxy Music. He is also an excellent songwriter. The songs I played are The One That Got Away and Rising River. Id Guiness also has an album out later this year, Cure For The Common Crush, so if you liked these songs keep an eye on his website.
