the war in afghanistan

After the major conference hosted by the University of Glasgow this week regarding the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan. Dr Alex Marshall, current convenor of the War Studies Centre based at the University of Glasgow will be joining us in the studio this Sunday to discuss the issues that currently face Afghanisation now and in the future.

The conference itself discussed how much progress was being made by US President Obama's troop surge, problems facing the coalition in Afghanistan and the growing drug manufacture problem in Afghanistan.

Listen from 0945 to 1030 and send in your questions and comments to debate@subcity.org.

You can watch some the discussions that took place during the conference here. Please note this is very bandwith intensive.

You may also be interested in an interview Professor Marc Genest, who was one of the key note speakers at the conference gave on Newsnight Scotland on Monday night.

calvin johnson never meant anything to me

Students for Scarves and Charm // 16.03.10

Students for Scarves and Charm presents a long over due tribute to K Records, DIY independent music label founded by Calvin Johnson (of Beat Happening, Cool Rays, Dub Narcotic Sound System... he's been in a lot of bands, OK?) with the motto: "Exploding the teenage underground into passionate revolt against the corporate ogre since 1982."

Though K Records has been home to a diverse range of artists from Modest Mouse to Beck to Built to Spill, we will mainly be focusing on the label's twee bands such as Beat Happening, Heavenly, Talulah Gosh, The Softies and Tiger Trap who have inspired a new generation of sensitive kids in anoraks and cardigans to make ramshackle and catchy pop music with their hearts on their sleeves and caught in their throats.

But that's enough from us, hear Jeffrey Lewis explain it all in his song Low-Budget Documentary On K Records here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CoMdq7k7Fo

Build And Destroy // 18.03.10

That's right people, tomorrow night on build+destroy from 8pm i'll be playing an hour of old skool rave-y goodness. I'll be kicking things off with something a bit random before playing 56 minutes of fabulous tunes from the legendary Suburban Base record label. Andrew's off on his holiday so I can get away with this kind of thing :)

Glow sticks, dust masks, and whistles at the ready...

She Said // 13.03.10

So when we paused for a moment's reflection to think how best to describe our selections for tonight's amazing show, these were the words that graced our tongues. Not once did the words erotic, sensual or arousing come to mind yet inevitably and poetically all these sensations truly did fill the room and meander over the airwaves.

I guess you would have expected no less.

Yes indeed.

Deadbeat Club // 16.03.10

"We've got no excuse for being shambolic this week" famous last words from our second ever show (still rookies! still learning! still exempt from blame.) Tune in this week for Anna's beautifully crafted (just not so beautifully executed) playlist, embarrassing animal crushes, and possibly another reason why Lizo spent so much time hanging around the CBBC studios.

In fact, its exactly the same except from less tiredness and perhaps a bit more vinyl in the studio. This week saw a bunch of ridiculous tracks in teh form of Gil-Scott Heron, Marcellus Pittman, Floating Points, Jay Elctronica, Joy Orbison, Dirty Dozen Brass Band and so on....

Get Back To 8-bit // 18.03.10

I'm avoiding any "Long Time Ago" humour here and keeping it as real as a white kid from a somewhat middle class upbringing can do. This week's Get Back To 8-bit will refrain from raising any bullshit midichlorian count when I broadcast a selection of songs about the Star Wars universe. Try not to get too bogged down by the nerdery this Thursday @ 14:00, won't you?

badfellas and un-wise guys

Screen Shrapnel // 13.03.10

What a week of releases we have! First off, Martin Scorsese - arguably the finest American director currently working - is back this week with Shutter Island, a slice of pulpy B-movie goodness staring Marty’s current leading man of choice, Leonardo DiCaprio. Nick and Graham hitch a ride on the last ferry to the titular wave battered rock to review the insanity within.

If that wasn’t enough, the golden duo of Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon, director and star of the - almost* - universally adored Bourne movies, hit the big screen this week with their familiar shaky-cam shenanigans in Green Zone, the fourth Bourne installment in all but name.

In a subliminal homage to these films this week’s show is a macho affair, brimming with testosterone filled arguments and gratuitous swearing. Screen Shrapnel don’t make up for their sins in church. They do it in the cinema. They do it in the Subcity studio. They talk a lot of bullshit and they know it.

Go on, have a listen; you'll only be slightly disappointed.

*for the record, Ione of the Shapnel trio think that Doug Liman’s first Bourne installment (The Bourne Identity) is far superior to Greengrass‘ efforts

Unfortunately I wasn't around on Sat night due to pressing stag doo matters (not mine) but don't fret for I've put together a nice pre-recorded mix of some Detroit-leaning electro slabs for you to enjoy, feat our friends from Pest Control Records (http://www.pestcontrolrecords.com/) as well as choice cuts from the likes of Jimmy Edgar, Aux88, Alden Tyrell and many many more.

I'll be back next week in the studio live as it happens on stage in person live. So tune in.

Crossroads Blues // 17.03.10

I'm afraid that, once again, there will be no show this week. I'll be down in London giving a presentation.

There will be a show next week unless several giants decide to block my path and beat me up with massive clubs made out of dragon skeletons...that would make an awesome album cover.

tennessee twang, brits blues and devilish delta

The second edition of Crossroads Blues starts with a tribute to the most important blues musician ever: the legendary Robert Johnson. 'Legendary Live' features a couple of the best songs of the late sixties 'British Blues Boom' by Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. And the third item of the show, 'Still Got The Blues', brings you the best of 21st century Tennessee Blues rock combined with smooth jazzy influenced songs by two fantastic female musicians!

the missing episode

Live From Las Vegas

If you are wondering why there is no available show since 'selling out', it's because well...em? - we did do a show. If you were listening live to Live from Las Vegas at the usual time of 2:00pm on a Friday then you will know of the joys of sports and sports songs in our 'sports' episode (I wouldn't want to put words in your mouth but some critics who heard it described it as "the greatest audio experience known to mankind"). As well as enjoying the wonderfully anarchic tomfoolery of the show you might also have noticed that we were not scheduled to be on. Well, we noticed that too... about twenty seven minutes into the show. After that time if you listened carefully, even though we are professionals, you can hear (faintly) the fear and panic in our voices (especially in Allan's).

As we weren't meant to be on - the show can't be linked to the page. This means, unfortunately, this master class in radio isn't available to Joe Public.

What happens next? I'm unsure. Maybe one day on one of those BBC four documentaries at three in the morning they'll unearth the piece of radio gold that is 'sport'. Until then maybe take a little time out of your day, close your eyes and imagine what might have been if sport had been - LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS.

Well God, we got news for you. It's now our day.

And to celebrate this wanton disregard for the property of God we played 'We Hate You' by Electric Wizard. How's that for a STATEMENT OF INTENT! This new episode should be up soon.

journeys - funky - sat 13th march 2010 - 1-2 pm‏

Journeys // 13.03.10

Hey folks,

Journeys seems to be slowly progressing it's way through the decades at the moment, for some reason. In recent weeks we've had the Rock 'n' Roll of the 1950s, then the Psychedelic weirdness of the 1960s and now, this week, we will be enjoying some 1970s funk!

Expect to hear from the likes of Kool And The Gang, The Ohio Players, Slave, Parliament, Vicki Anderson, Lynn Collins, Amnesty and more.

This week's Weird But Wonderful contenders are a couple of recent releases that seek to relive the good ol' days, when music was 'real' and really funky:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAyWhrHig5U

1. Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings - Genuine

A 2004 release on Brooklyn's excellent Daptone records, this is properly proper.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCyIWGKjmUA&feature=related

2. Spanky Wilson & The Quantic Soul Orchestra - Don't Joke With a Hungry Man

This one is a 2006 release, on Tru-Thoughts in the UK, and features a genuine 60s soul legend in Spanky Wilson. This updating of her sound for the 21st Century by Quantic (Will Holland) works pretty darn well. (Bonus: check out her 1969 recording of Cream's 'Sunshine Of Your Love' for the best cover version ever! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC2Je89JhS8)

To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

Synth // 12.03.10

So tomorrow night Synth makes it's long awaited return starting with a very intimate, sweaty, loud, bass-driven party in the Brunswick Hotel basement. Joining myself on the decks will be MGCK of Mixkings, That Dirty Latino & Subcity Radio's very own Tarantism.

Proceedings kick off at 9 with some lovely cosmic disco vibes moving right through to 2am when you can expect to hear everything from foundation-shakking dubstep to jump up electro and explosive Drum & Bass. Like our radio show we like to keep things moving!

On top of that Joe CRogan is going to be making your eyes melt with some mind-bending visuals...

Here are the details:

SYNTH@ The Brunswick Hotel Fri 12th March 9-2am £5/4 (before 10.30pm) Cosmic Disco // French Filter House // Dubstep // Techno // Fidget // Drum & Bass

As a taster of the madness that awaits tomorrow you can check out Tarantism in the mix tonight on Subcity Radio when they provide twenty minutes of Mash Up Madness. You can also expect new music from L-Vis 1990, Crookers, Fenech Soler & Rollz, plus an official Blog Burner from Florence & The Machine & Breakage...

It all kicks off at 1am only on Subcity Radio.....

Apologies for no show on the 11th March!

Marco was in bed, rather ill with a highly contageous disease... and Nathan has a mangina, meaning neither of us could attend the show.

warehouse sessions

Beat Beneath // 11.03.10

Partly to bring in the new slot in style, and partly due to a recent gig of mine being cut off early for, erm, legal reasons, this week's show is eschewing the usual hint of melody for an hour dedicated to dark, raw, and dirty warehouse techno. Expect tunes from such filth wizards as Dustin Zahn, Sian and Ben Klock, and it's highly recommended that you listen to the show on a system with a decent amount of bass otherwise it won't really work, laptop speakers aren't gonna cut it here...

There's plenty of rock, roll, punk, garage, psych, sleaze, surf, glam, blues and metal on hand; and maybe you will learn something important too.

This week's show also has multi-faceted educational features, with plenty of interesting discussion about diverse topics like; shady activity in the auto-trade, cowboys, injuns, drop-outs and the early days of the Bible.

Because one wasn't enough, this week's Get Back To 8-bit returns to the well and devotes an hour of precious airtime to some of the most classic, greatest contemporary and some of my favourite video game themes. Expect those you know and those you don't yet, with a hefty lump of chat-based Materia (Maybe if I get enough Summon Materia I can secure a co-host) of only the finest quality. It's Thursday the 11th March @ 14:00. Insert coin to play!

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 08.03.10

Right, so this week we're doing the inevitable covers show, but we hope we've made it a bit more interesting than your average one. We've got a fairly soft-rock feel to this one, but with a couple of changes in tone here and there (comedy in the form of Danananananaykroyd taking the piss out of auto-tune, and a harrowing Leonard Cohen cover by Harvey Milk). As usual, we're fulfilling those requests as well. Let's just say we're got it covered, amirite? See you next week for a return to the regular format.

headlights :: upcoming shows

Headlights

As usual we have tons of people on our list of potential interviewees, but whilst not everybody finds the time or the will to talk to us, we have arranged two very interesting interviews for the upcoming shows: We are going to speak to Bruce Lawson from Opera Software | webstandards.org about Web standards and the new browser choice screen adopted by Microsoft in response to to an EU lawsuit. This is for the geeks of you, albeit not exclusively so. Furthermore we are planning to interview Susan Stuart on machine consciousness, and possibly the ontology of digital objects.

As usual, feel free to send in any questions, comments and suggestions regarding these interview to headlights@antipattern.net.

Fingers crossed that everything works out as planned and you'll get an interesting show!

elliot bulmer on the iraq war

Headlights // 03.03.10

We have spoken to Elliot Bulmer about the 2003 invasion of Iraq. During the invasion he was a member of a psy-ops team. He tells us how he got into this position, what he did in Iraq and assesses the prospects for democracy.

This show isn't just a commentary on the Iraq war, but a story that could come right from a movie.

Elliot Bulmer is currently writing his Ph.D. Thesis titled "A Free Scotland? A Critique of the SNP's Draft Constitution". If you're interested in this topic, you should check outan episode of Christian's old show, Jus de Pomme: Elliot Bulmer on constitutions.

street art good, body art bad

Screen Shrapnel // 06.03.10

You might have noticed that there are some film awards happening this weekend. That’s right! the inaugural Shrapnel awards come to a close with awards going to the finest directors and films of the year. Oh, we also discuss a smaller, less prestigious award ceremony happening tomorrow night (7 March): the Oscars.

On to this weeks releases…step aside Harry Potter; get lost Twilight; that goes for you too Lovely Bones, because there is a new literary sensation about to spew into our multiplexes: the late Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy, a triptych of thrillers that sees odd couple protagonists Mikael Blomkist, a straight laced, middle-aged hack with a face like a potato, and Lisbeth Salander, a mysterious twenty-four-year-old streetwise hacker with the arms of a lumberjack, investigate the nefarious goings on in that dangerous crime hotbed, Sweden. But does the first in the trilogy, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, do for the crime thriller what Let the Right One In did for the vampire movie? Tune in to find out.

Also on the show: we discuss the directorial debut from Bristol’s cultural icon Banksy, street artist, provocateur, vandal and now, with Exit Through the Gift Shop, documentarian; and we hear from horror expert and all round lovely chap Alan Jones, who tells us about a 1970s horror film that any cineaste worth his/her salt should own.

These are the demented sounds of Screen Shrapnel. Have a listen, but please…don’t have nightmares

Synth

Synth @ the Brunswick Hotel // Fri 12th March // £5/4 (Before 10.30pm) // 9pm-2am

MGCK - THAT DIRTY LATINO - TARANTISM - SHAPES!- JOE CROGAN (Visuals)

In 2010 SYNTH is going on a great big disco journey. We've ditched any rules for an 'as and when' attitude. We want to throw parties wherever and whenever. That is why this particular disco journey is a bit different, we want to bring back the PARTY, whether it be in the basement of a hotel or the attic of a West End tenemant, all that matters is the music & the people.

No one likes organised fun....

So, starting in the illuminated sweatbox that is The Brunswick Hotel Basement we have:

MGCK (Mixkings): 'A mad talented young buck' with more sub bass then Barry White waxing lyrical on a South London dubplate. Expect a downright dangerous mix of UK funky, ribcage rattling dubstep & bassline bruising house.

THAT DIRTY LATINO: A comeback performance worth crackin' out the personal planner for. Barrientos has been flying the flag solo for a while now, but come March 12th both the boys are going to be laying down the flithiest fidget funkers this side of the nut house.

TARANTISM (Subcity): Another double act causing quite a stir on the Glasgow scene, Marco & Nathan will be providing the finest blend of deep house, disco & tech to get you moving. Check out their radio show on Subcity....your ears will thank you.

SHAPES!: Do I really want to write about myself in the third person?

psychedelic, baby! - sat 6th march 2010 - 1-2 pm

Journeys // 06.03.10

Hey folks,

Apologies for the lack of a show last week. Was just too busy to get it put together and, rather than bring you inferior product, I decided I needed a week off to recharge the old musical batteries!

This week's show follows in the footsteps of the Rock 'n' Roll show of last time, making the short trip from there into '60s psychedelia.

Almost everybody with a record deal went psychedelic in the late 1960s and I'll be playing a selection of some of the original psyche pioneers, such as the likes of the 13th Floor Elevators, Country Joe & The Fish, The Electric Prunes, Love and Jefferson Airplane - as well as some less likely psychedelic dabblers, such as The Temptations and Muddy Waters.

There is no doubting that The Beatles were the band that most succesfully commercialised the psychedelic sound and this week's Weird But Wonderful vote features a couple of songs related to that fact:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Biu95fyvmLI

1. John Fred & The Playboys - Judy In Disguise (With Glasses)

An affectionate lampooning of probably the most well know song about drugs ever recorded; 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds', this near-contemporaneous 'cover' actually knocked 'Hello, Goodbye' off the top of the US singles chart in January 1968.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DjWpq8Oyoc

2. Candyflip - Strawberry Fields Forever

Named for the rather dubious practice of taking LSD and Ecstasy in tandem, Candyflip produced one of the most cynical pieces of over-earnest retro-psyche-pop of the whole 'Madstock' era. Although it manages to ruin not just a Beatles classic, but also the 'Funky Drummer' break used so famously in the previous year's Stone Rose track 'Fool's Gold' (although on that track it was recreated by the drummer Mani rather than sampled, I think); I still, for some unknown reason, quite like this track!?!

To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

This week's show also contains scenes of a disturbing nature, provocotive lyrics, goblins, favourite symphonys of mine, huge rip-offs, conspiracy theories, overly-competative musicians, northern soul classics, even bigger rip-offs - all presented in a strange, sinister kind of vibe.

This week, I discuss the shortening of the day via global earthquake buggery, why the 'Mirror, Mirror' Gerald is so much hotter than the regular Gerald, Take Your kid to work day going wrong, Robot Astronauts IN SPAAAAAACE and why not every kid's toy makes for a good movie idea. In addition, I caress your ear holes with my wholly Jonathan Coulton playlist, so you'll get two kings of geeks for the price of one.

mogwai action on subcity....

She Said // 06.03.10

And so it came to pass the She Said team once again strode manfully where others fear to tread with an exclusive Mogwai event on Subcity. More precisely, this week's show featured the delightful presence of Stuart Braithwaite and Martin Bulloch and a beguiling mix of tunes and chatter.

And so we were given the low-down on the new film Burning, progress with current rehearsals, how Errors might just make the guys their fortune, Martin’s affairs of the heart and the potential for Mogwai incorporating bagpipes into a recording!

And nobody mentioned football once!

Students for Scarves and Charm // 02.03.10

Another show full of fantastic music begins with Swedes Mojib, Air France and The Radio Dept. heralding the end of winter with some gloriously sunny and upbeat tunes, followed by a more sedate second half featuring dreamy songs from Lali Puna, Au Revoir Simone and Asobi Seksu (who sample The Crystals, NOT the Big Breakfast theme tune).

Our Unsigned Act this week was Conquering Animal Sound who we sadly missed at the Pin Ups night last Friday. You can hear more from them at: http://www.myspace.com/conqueringanimalsound and download a mixtape by them here: http://www.last.fm/music/Conquering+Animal+Sound/Your+Friends%3A+The+Mixtape if you are so inclined.

We also discuss suspicious similarities between the lives of Bicola's mother and Indiana Jones, witnessing an uprising of old ladies, why Gordon Brown is just a bear in a tie and our new found love of Drew Barrymore and roller derby aspirations.

See you next week!

knives get in the way of music

Live From Las Vegas // 26.02.10

I'm currently stuck in the lab stabbing cells with a knife and taking picture of the results so unfortunately there'll be no show tonight.

In good news, I'll be helping to present the coverage of the Subcity 15th Birthday party on the 6th March. The line up is pretty sweet and the sounds system will be a beast, so it should be a damn good night. Get down to the Arches for it if you can or listen to the coverage here if you can't make it.

E: hands? Your looking at your hands?

V: No I'm not.

E: I give up - I hate this game

V: No don't give up. Come on - it's fun. You'll get it. I'll give you a clue. It's something you would kill your mother with.

E: ...What?

V: Something beginning with H that you would use to kill your mother.

E: I think I don't want to play anymore.

V: You can get this. I know YOU can get this: I spy with my little eye something beginning with H that you would use-

E: Stop this now, this isn't funny.

V: That's what she would say, isn't it?

sex

Live From Las Vegas // 19.02.10

As a director of porn I am often strapped on to some of the clichés associated with the other artists that toil in the same creative vineyard as I. The difference with my work and so many others, I find, is I put my soul in every frame. Sometimes just in the corner – other times in the other corner. A lot of my films are allegories for the short stories of Franz Kafka: ‘Cum Guzzlers 4’ was in many ways like Metamorphosis. Many ways. Everything is important on set and in every frame. What does the Bosch painting in the room say about the characters? What are all the books on the shelf saying about their relationship? Why does this character wear a mask? Because he’s a gimp, is the answer. When I’m filming two girls in love and going for it I tell them, I say: “hey Crystal show us what you’re feeling. Your boyfriend Buck isn’t here, you feel unsure about your feelings towards Candy. When you lick her out, show her your insecurities, your fears and also your burning desire to make a connection with another human being. That’s right get into it – spank her!”

shortly, there will be a pause

Start Making Sense

Having successfully negotiated a show on the fine student radio station known as Subcity. We (Martin, Chris and Rory) have begun our plans for our first show.

'Start Making Sense' is a show where we introduce themes into the equation, it's a cocktail of music, facts and discussion.

So, with this in mind - where better to start than at the beginning?

Hope you'll be listening Thursday night ( or arguably Friday morning ) 2AM, Subcity Radio.

Dance Tonight, Revolution Tomorrow! // 03.03.10

Ok... I'll level with you all. Alot has been happening in the Dance Tonight, Revolution Tomorrow camp that has prevented us from causing a disturbance for the past month or so (stolen macbooks, losing presenters to 9-5 office slavery etc etc) but we shall be back tomorrow, that's a promise, or ye can kick my head in.

I've been filling the new itunes library with alot of old school scandinavian death metal from the late 80's and early 90's - when riffs were HORRID and GRUESOME and EVIL (f*** your 'tech' nonsense). Expect mosh from the likes of Nihilist, Entombed, Carnage et al as well as the obligatory DEMILICH tune (really can't get enough of those dudes).

There'll be chat about the aforementioned break in, probably involving puns and also a ramshackle spontaneous review of poser-tastic black metal documentary 'Until The Light Takes Us' (which was actually not too bad, Varg is one charming man).

Later Y'all

It's officially March 2010, a month which will surely go down as reasonably epic for new album releases. To celebrate, we play a promo from the new Titus Andronicus album and launch our new feature "I Care Because You Don't". J-Ham has a dozy morning. Oh, we're also still pushing "The Room", which is surely the best bad movie ever made. Listeners who went to the Mogwai film screening and DJ set last night - let us know how it was!

eminem is playing at TintheP.

eminem is 37

eminem is actually awesome, he's always been a guilty pleasure of mine. i cant believe he's 37. i'm pretty sure he slated moby in one of his songs a while back for still going at 35. ach well, we all have our sore spots...sometimes i worry that i might be a little bit too handsome. but i've had to deal with it my whole life, so you just kinda come to terms with it after a while.

anyways. i didnt even play any eminem on this show, that really was quite a tangent. i would love to but daytime-radio-show-friendly eminem songs are few and far between. if i were to bleep out all the swearing on one of his tracks it would just end up sounding like something by Kraftwerk.

today we went to town on dubstep and wonky hiphop, get this episode turned up because its all about the bass! the track by Shlohmo is one of my favourites just now, if you like that then check out the remix by Tokimonsta as well, its a blinder.

Itch! vs Thunder Disco Club...this saturday at the Art School! get yourselves along to see grown men cry like little girls on stage. knuckle dusters are packed and ready to go. check it out here ---> http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=282884602413&ref=nf#!/event.php?eid=282884602413&ref=mf

Bottle Rocket // 25.02.10

last week i was in berlin doing film festivally things, which i had hoped would influence the first radio show back. turns out nothing i saw had a decent soundtrack (apart from wee bits of 'the kids are alright', but that was cack...). however, i did see eddie argos of art brut and dyan valdes of the blood arm in their new, spiffingly-named outfit everybody was in the french resistance...now!, so expect to hear something from their debut album.

while i was away deutschlanding, mike was in glasgow keeping the bottle rocket clubnight on the road. by all accounts, it was a mega-ace-coolio evening, and we'll have the playlist up in the next few days (once we've managed to decipher the handwriting...). can't wait that long? then i'll play something from saturday night tomorrow too - that alright?

also on the cards - new music from fursaxa, kind of new music from four tet, and not-new-but-exciting-atp-addition joanna newsom. ooooooh yeah

level thirtytwo vs. dirty basement

thirty-two // 22.02.10

Having just confirmed a versus with Alibi for the 26th of March in La Cheetah Club, we asked Dirty Basement to come have a wee warm up set live on Subcity, this show is the end result, filled with wobbly goodness and the usual glitchy nonsense from both parties. It consists of 2 half hour back to backs from each of us, then on to a full scale back to front with one tune from each side for the last hour, so it's 32, DB, 32, DB, and so on...

The night's sure to be a belter, we've got the bold Indra rocking some dubstep on our side and Digital Stitch supporting the Alibi cause, expect cheap entry, bangin' tunes and a bit of mischief to keep you on your toes.

Warm up will be provided by 32's favourite newcomer Floyd, she'll be staying on the crowd's side for this one playing anything and everything to get you dancing.

Keep your eyes and ears peeled over the next couple of weeks for more details on the event and cheapo deals for you listeners.

back to the roots: samples special

Samples are those looping breaks, chopped & mixed up, to make the beats that are the backbone of countless hip hop classics.

This week, we've got n hour of the records that made The Records, if you get what we mean....

everyone from Ike Turner to Funkadelic and a lil bit of The Isley Brothers will be played out.

See if you can catch the sample in amongst the sounds.... here's to history and its constant re-making.

Listening again now? wait...6 minutes in...something seems a little strange, doesn't it? but what is it? Oh yeah. Thats it, car crash. Its the same song twice. Fuzzy brain, fuzzy braaaain. I was so blissed-out thinking it was Au Revoir Simone I didn't even realise. My apologies but hey, at least this means you aren't hearing things and aren't going mad like me. Thanks Vision. Love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes xx

the funeral

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 22.02.10

As discussed in a previous show, we felt that it was time to retire the "Hand It Over" feature. This show is almost totally dedicated to said feature, and to mourn its demise, we played a variety of gloomy artists who lent their sound to a mystery band. Listeners could guess who the mystery band was throughout the course of the show to win a copy of the album by Dinosaur Jr. that lent its name to the feature. Regular listener Tim (really, he puts you all to shame) ended up getting it in the end. If you're on listen again and want to play along, don't click on the playlist before listening all the way through.

Also, correction on the weblink given out on this show - it's actually brazenink.com.

the changing face of media

News Empire // 21.02.10

With the launch of Scotland's first all-digital news magazine, questions about the vitality of traditional - that's ink on paper - print media arise. How widely read is it? How are changes in technology affecting it? Is the transition to digital media inevitable, and will that affect the way news is reported? As awed as we all are by the advance of the all-encompasing digital world, there's nothing like reading an actual newspaper.

Headlines

Read by Kirsty Malcolm and Rose Henderson. Written by James Humphries, Kitty Dan and Rose Henderson.

The Changing Face of Media It's 2010. iPhone is a household brand, the internet is everywhere and devices like the Kindle, smartphones and the soon-to-be everywhere iPad have had a massive effect on the way news is viewed and produced. Scotland's first all-online paper, The Student Punch just recently launched, posing some interesting questions. Why digital only? How do these changes affect the news cycle? Do papers on paper still have a place? Tom Bonnick of the Glasgow University Guardian and Rhona Campbell of the BBC weigh in.

deathpodal could genuinely brighten your day....

She Said // 20.02.10

Okay so here's the script.

Glasgow's newest independent label, Electropapknit Records, are about to celebrate their first release. The debut ep from Deathpodal is titled Exu_Wow and was recorded across Scotland featuring a variety of musicians including members of Copy Haho and PVH.

We here at She Said truly believe the view that Deathpodal bring together "post punk, DIY recording techniques, warm undulating melodies and a cacophony of instrumentation". Tonight, Alastair (the focal point of the collective) and Gav (collaborator and old friend of the show) joined us to preview the ep and chat in the loving sensual manner you’ve come to expect by now.

Listen in, check out the links and tell us what you think.

Whilst we're at it, this is your last chance to win 2 Fuck Buttons tickets for the show at the Arches on 24 April. Just message the show's address above with the name of the first Fuck Buttons album. One lucky person will have their name drawn from the hat live on air on the show on 27 February. Cheers to Grainne at Synergy Concerts for the tickets.

Last week Nick was absent, however we still managed a live set with the lovely Baldego, head to www.myspace.com/baldego after you've listened to the show. After that you could do worse than checking out this weeks show when The Dirt joined us to do a couple of songs. If murder ballads are your sort of thing (think Violet Femmes) then I would most definitely have a listen. You can also find them at www.myspace.com/thedirtmusic Plus both shows have the usual mix of upcoming gigs and light banter. Enjoy!

the blues had a baby - sat 20th feb 2010 - 1-2pm

Journeys // 20.02.10

Hey folks,

Not had much time for the show this week, so gonna keep this reasonably brief.

Due to the inexcusable and terrible inconsistency of a certain SPL football team, I have definitely had the blues this week. Since around 9.30 PM on Tuesday to be exact.

However, this week's show is about escaping those blues rather than wallowing in them, so I'll be playing the much more chipper 'son of the Blues' - good ol' fashioned Rock 'n' Roll!

Expect to hear from the likes of Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Carl Perkins, Big Mama Thornton, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Frankie Lymon, Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry, as well as whoever else I can squeeze in!

This week's Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of songs with Rock & Roll in the title:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHyUYxBXLdc

1. Led Zeppelin - Rock & Roll

Rocky.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjAi7MgRBhM

2. Apparat Organ Quartet - Stereo Rock & Roll

Rolly.

To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

Alternatively, you can check them out and email me back here.

Check out the Journeys myspace for direct access to the Weird But Wonderful songs and videos and extra musical content from last week's show (will update again after this show broadcasts) on the Music Player: http://www.myspace.com/journeysradioshow

The tunes are finger lickin' jizz-worthy. the banter leaves the stale taste of flat beer and cigarettes in your mouth. We may have been feeling a little sorry for ourselves. self inflicted. rock and roll.

This week we were very lucky to be joined in the studio by none other than handsome hero-of-the-hour Son of Sven. Giving you his thoughts and feelings for the week, he imparts his worldly wisdom like a tall, muscular buddha.

Screen Shrapnel // 13.02.10

The Glasgow Youth Film Festival kicked off in earnest on Thursday (11 Feb) with Scouting Book for Boys, the directorial debut of Tom Harper starring Thomas Turgoose (This is England, Somers Town). Screen Shrapnel was there, listen to find out what we thought.

From unrequited love to the love that dare not speak its name, we review A Single Man, directed by another debuting Tom – fashion genius and savior of Gucci, Tom Ford.

Also on this week’s show: we kick-off our new, awkwardly titled feature – Films the Great-Unwashed Should Have Seen but Probably Haven’t – with a contribution from the finest radio critic working in the UK (Screen Shrapnel being a close seconds, by-the-way), the inimitable Dr. Mark Kermode; and the shrapnel awards continue this week with some metaphorical statuettes winging their way to the finest male actors of the year.

With some new form RnB in the form of Shaunise and Erykah Badu, a 2010 bonafide anthem in the form of New Orleans own Jay Electronica, some old scholl funk & jazz with Dee Felice Trio & some Archie Sheep, and MTI gets dark by thrifting through some Christoph de Babalon, Martin Kemp & the ever excellent Pangaea.

journeys - we got latin soul - sat 13th feb 2010 -

Journeys // 13.02.10

Hey folks,

This week's show jumps on the BBC's recent Latin music bandwagon (http://www.bbc.co.uk/musictv/latinmusicusa/).

I'll be playing a selection of Nuyorican, Cuban, Mexican, Brazilian, Puerto Rican and other Latin-based tunes.

Artists likely to features include Mongo Santamaria, Joe Bataan, Afro-Cuban All Stars, Ray Barretto, Jorge Ben and more.

The Weird But Wonderful contenders are plucked from the excellent 1996 Masters At Work collaboration with a number of Latin music legends; the eponymous album, 'Nuyorican Soul':

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVHW1LCE6vI

1. Nuyorican Soul ft. India - Runaway

Originally recorded by the Salsoul Orchestra, with Loleatta Holloway on vocals, back in 1977; this version is pretty faithful and features a number of the original Salsoul musicians.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIZnbWl3qbw

2. Nuyorican Soul ft. Jocelyn Brown - I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun

Another fairly faithful (but updated for the House generation) cover - this time of the Rotary Connection's 1971 original.

To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

Because it's especially hard for the most ardent MMORPGers to get that shame and Wotsits stink off and attract a mate, this week's Get Back To 8-bit is dedicated to all those more at ease tugging themselves than tugging heart strings via songs of a supremely nerd-laden style.

bombay bicycle club

Subcity Sessions // 10.02.10

On the 5th February Bombay Bicycle Club performed an exclusive set for Subcity ahead of their appearance on the NME Awards tour. Performing in the somewhat unusual venue of the Glasgow University Concert Hall, the band played a free acoustic set to over 100 fans.

The set features tracks off their début album, as well as a couple of exclusive tracks from an upcoming acoustic album which you'll have to wait a wee while to hear elsewhere.

The band join the ranks of bands to have played for Subcity Sessions before including Franz Ferdinand and Shit Disco. However whilst you listen to the set, check out some of the other shows to have a place in their heart for Bombay Bicycle Club, where you can win signed copies of the band's debut album; as well as staying glued to the podcasts section where you'll soon get a chance to download the interview with BBC as well as numerous other bands we've bumped into.

All this coincides with the Subcity 15th Birthday party, where we'll be celebrating 15 years of musical diversity and playlist free radio.

next bottle rocket: 20th feb, nice n sleazy

Bottle Rocket // 11.02.10

i flipping well love inland empire. one of my favourite films OF ALL TIME IN THE WORLD EVER. also, incidentally, one of the most exciting cinema experiences i've had, courtesy of the glasgow film festival a few years back. every year the list sponsors a screening of a top secret mystery movie, with the audience buying a ticket blind and hoping that they get something good. judging by the steady dribble of exasperated punters leaving constantly throughout, a three hour headfuck wasn't what everyone had in mind (i reckon the festival organisers realised this themselves: last year we got the gentle norweigan comedy o horten, and the year before that the chucklesome and nostalgic son of rambow - far more suitable saturday night fare...).

which brings me to this week's radio show. i'm off to berlin the week after next, so this thursday's show has to cover two weeks of events and releases rather than the typical one. were i in the country, one of those weeks would have been spent discussing this year's glasgow festival. last year i did a movie special, with loads of my favourite soundtrack cuts (it's still available to 'listen again' to donchaknow...), but the music side of the festival this year is so good it'd be a shame not to explore it a little. so there'll be music from delightful indie-pop drama '1234' (and i'll have an inteview with director giles borg in the cineskinny - and on bottlerocketglasgow.blogspot.com - sometime soon...) plus tracks from nick cave and possibly the white stripes, both of whom are the subjects of documentaries screening at the fest. a mogwai song will likely crop up too, to mark their movie debut 'burning', while a thomas truax song will recognise his upcoming gig at mono. and since he'll be performing tracks from his last album 'songs from the films of david lynch', that brings us nicely full-circle!

there'll also be more conventional gig-related songs and new releases, including more from the new los campesinos and vampire weekend albums, and wonderful music from the forthcoming shearwater and efterklang records.

ALSO:

the berlin trips means i'll miss out on this week's bottle rocket dancing club at nice n sleazys. luckily, the other rocketeer is staying in glasgow, so it will be business (largely) as usual!

fantastic tim-age!

This morning's show delivers on two requests - get your own in if you're a secret regular listener and we may just play your suggestion. Ross finally gets El-P's Fantastic Damage instrumentals disc and stuff from it is inevitably used as instrumentals in-between songs. Oh, and regular listener Tim McQuillian officially beats all of you at texting in, so he gets a menshy.

feed your head!

Tarantism // 08.02.10

The 60's and 70's boast some of the most creative musical acts our world has ever heard. A fusion of musical styles, paired with drug-fuelled counter-culture ideals, started a wave of energy that spanned from California to Great Britain.

The music at the time gave hope to an entire generation of youths, with its apex lying at the 1969 Woodstock Festival, which has gone down in history as one of the most monumental human gatherings of all time.

It's difficult to condense so much music into a one hour radio show, but we've done our best to try and capture the wide variety of musical styles that the era produced, from rock, to disco to psychadelic.

Peace and love... Tarantism.

the award for worst film-based radio show goes to

Screen Shrapnel // 06.02.10

Dresses are being chosen; tuxedos are being pressed; ‘for your consideration…’ ads are appearing in the trades; cinemas are awash with middle-brow, issue-laden worthyness; and brown envelopes are being exchanged. Me thinks me smells the sycophantic funk of Hollywood’s garish, self-congratulatory award season. We’ve had the Golden Globes, the various Critics’ circles, and the announcement of the Bafta nominees, but we know you’re all waiting for the big one…the Shrapnel awards.

On this week’s show we’re choosing our best supporting actors of the year, male and female. In terms of those second rate awards, the Oscars, the statuettes for these categories are practically engraved already – if both Christoph Waltz and Mo’Nique don’t go home with a 10” tall naked gold bald man feel free to kick me in the balls – but we’re hoping to pull out some surprises with our winners.

If you have a favourite supporting actor of actress that you’d like to big-up, post it up on the Shrapnel facebook wall.

Also on this week’s show, we review of a couple of bio-pics: Clint Eastwood’s immortalisation of Nelson Mandela in Invictus and Michael Hoffman’s look at the last few months of Leo Tolstoy in The Last Station

Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed

kanye west and fyfe dangerfield should collaborate

Initial Itch // 05.02.10

Today on the show we launch a new feature - our roving correspondents in the Glasgow Arts world who will report back to us on recent arty things like goblin henchmen scuttling back into our evil fortress of doom with messages from the war in the west. This week our music correspondent Katherine Nesbitt (who is not a goblin) reviews Fyfe Dangerfield's gig with Stornoway and Villagers for Celtic Connections at the ABC. Expect updates on theatre, visual art and film in the coming weeks.

Also on the show we have music from Glasgow performance artist Ben Dunn, and poetry from Judy Barrett and Matt Griffin. If you want to get your stuff on the show, please don't hesitate to fire off an email to initialitch@flatratestate.com

Don't forget flatrate's upcoming production at the Tron theatre, The Zeros Keep Going, which is on next week, the 11th - 13th Feb, and promises to be fucking spectacular. Finally, our pick of the week this week is Alan Bissett's new double bill of plays at the Citz, The Ching Room and The Moira Monologues.

That's all you're getting. You'll get more next week. Finish your greens.

This week: competing songs of the same name by different artists. That aren't covers. That'd be cheating. Expect two each of "California", "One Time Too Many", "I Wanna Be Your Lover" and "Demons", and, in this week's #1 Records, two very different takes on Let It Be.

screen shrapnel: based on the book ‘pish’

Screen Shrapnel // 30.01.10

Screen Shrapnel get emotional this week – well one of us does anyway – as we discuss the films that get our tear glands a workin’.

We also discuss Precious: based on the novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire, a film that is tear inducing, less because of the plight of its eponymous protagonist and more because of its pretentious/stupid title – what next? Hamlet: based on the play ‘Hamlet’ by Bill Shakespeare, Leaving Las Vegas: based on the life of ‘Mel Gibson’ by Jack Daniels. Talking of everyone’s favourite antipodean bigot, Edge of Darkness sees the return of Mad Mel to the front of the camera after a seven year hiatus – what was Mel up to during those years, I wonder?

The show is also worth listening to for an occurrence as rare as a decent Vince Vaughn movie: Nick and Jamie agree!

Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed

tonight on synth: guest mix from pmcq! boomshaka

Synth // 05.02.10

Synth returns tonight with an extra large dose of intergalactic, supersonic mega tunage and it all kicks off at 1am! On tonight's show I have new music from Breakbot, Nero, Style of Eye and Yeasayer, a MASSIVE Blog Burner from Boy 8 Bit, an essential run down of all the hottest parties going on in Glasgow & beyond this weekend plus a special guest mix from MUCK resident & mastermind PMcQ!

Which brings me nicely onto tonight's social gathering: the return of Muck to La Cheetah with very special guest LORCAN MAK, an up and coming producer from Ireland who has personally guaranteed to collectively knock our socks off!

I will be on the decks from 11.30-12.30 so expect a disco house explosion as I'm in that sort of mood at the moment. I managed to get my hands on some new Duck Sauce the other day which I can't wait to play! Anyway, come down and get involved, Lorcan is extremely talented so it promises to be a right corker!

Details:

Lorcan Mak @ MUCK La Cheetah, Queen St, Glasgow 10.30-3am £5 students/Facebook attendees £6 on the door

abso-flute-ly fabulous - sat 6th feb 2010 - 1-2 pm

Journeys // 06.02.10

Hey folks,

This week's show features a selection of flute heavy tunes. This being Journeys they will be mainly on a soulful, funky kinda tip and will feature artists such as Bobbi Humphries, Herbie Mann, Ken Munson, Moe Koffman, Jethro Tull, Deodato, Manu Dibango, Lee 'Scratch' Perry and as many more as I can squeeze into an hour.

The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of tracks that have only one thing in common: both have the word 'Flute' in the title, but, despite this bold advertisement, appear to contain no actual flute in the track... Weird alright:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTVVEtfxwOk

1. Leftfield - Black Flute

From their massive 1995 album 'Leftism'. Banging.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSBdtsNSogg

2. The Cranes - Flute Song

Some shoegazing indie from the Portsmouth gloom-meisters' 2001 album, 'Future Songs'. Moody.

To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

If you are on Facebook you can join the 'Journeys Radio Show' group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=51132174165

shut up and eat your technical difficulties ...

Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 04.02.10

That's right folks, the more anal among you may notice a little of the dreaded "dead air" about halfway through our show, this was because our live guest Alan McKim was demonstrating his talent as a mime artist. We weren't sure how well that would go across on radio, as far as we were concerned it was great. Let us know if you agree.

Suffice to say if you go listen you'll find the usual amount of nonsense banter, including a guest appearance from our new mascot Colin the Duck, songs by bands you'll know like Maccabees and Suede, and songs by bands you should know like The Brother Louis Collective and Mickey 9's, and a fantastic live performance from Alan McKim rounding things off nicely. And remember, if you hear it on the show you'll be able to hear it live this week in Glasgow, so get off your ass and get out to some great gigs, some of the best ones this week are free, which frankly you don't deserve ...

Hugs and kisses and quacks

Get Back To 8-bit // 04.02.10

On this week's Get Back To 8-bit, I'm going to do exactly what it says on the tin and present to you an entire playlist of chiptune, console sound, whatever your preferred moniker might be. Going solo means more music, but don't think I'll be skipping on You Gotta Shoot 'Em In The Head, as this week your senses will be spazzed on news of jail-breaking level 50 dungeonmasters, the future of arty wank erotica and straight up wank, how robots have achieved speeds of Danny Boyle proportions and why the Japanese hate women but love your money. Tune in Thursday afternoon at 14:00, or download via 'Listen Again' at your convenience!

Today we present to you the findings from our expedition. its a small and mighty selection. more small and mighty than percil small and mighty. but its all about quality not quantity here at Casio Canteen. or something like that.

anyways. i've gone off on a bit of a tangent. a naughty little 20 minute mash-up of house and techno to tickle your tech-buds. its rad to the power of sick. don't fret though, we also have the usual sex-core, perfect pop, hip hop and dubstep to keep your entertained.

fruit-based technology chat

Let's Get Physical // 28.01.10

This week on Let's Get Physical we looked at the technology (or rather marketing) company Apple and how they grew from humble beginnings in a car hole. Ruaraidh was on the anti-apple side whereas Ciaran was supposed to be on the pro-apple side. Ciaran's stance was essentially each to their own in the end. Ruaraidh was given the hardware side to research, Ciaran on the software. Just so you know to skip past whatever Ciaran was saying.

intelligence and iq with paddy o'donnell

Headlights // 03.02.10

In this weeks episode Indra and Christian interviewed professor Paddy O'Donnell.

Professor Paddy O'Donnell has been Head of the Psychology Department and previously was Dean of Social Science at University of Glasgow. At present he is Deputy Head of Department and Director of Teaching.

This week, we talked about IQ tests, what they are and how they work and how reliable they are. We also discussed some slightly more controversial topics, such as link between IQ and race and IQ and gender. Are women really better at multitasking, but are no good at reading a map or parking a car? Are men better analysts and more rational?

Tune in for a higly interesting discussion.

Headlighs, every Wednesday 10-11 AM or whenever you want on subcity.org

Unfortunately for an unknown reason only half of the interview is available on listen again.

beach house - teen dream!

Temper Tendency // 03.02.10

Tomorrow's programme will showcase my personal favourite's off Beach House's brand new Long-Player 'Teen Dream. This marks the third release by the Baltimore band and has so far received glowing reviews. Understandably so, the album is my favourite so far for 2010 and will probably retain that position.

Also, good to have a listen to a few of the songs if any of you are heading down to see Beach House on February 10 at King Tut's.

hype we can believe in...

This week's show takes a rather dark shape with some black metal-influenced folk from nature boy Phil Elverum, another awesome theme tune and a new Liars song. The first half of the show is filled with talk of upcoming and recently hyped-up albums. Fancy a bit of psychedelic rock as well? No? Well, you're getting it anyway.

Tarantism // 01.02.10

Scotland is a country that has produced many talented musicians over the years, spanning a variety of genres. Looking past the commercial music that some Scottish bands are known for, we focus on some of the lesser known names, particularly quite a number of Glaswegian artists.

Enjoy!

keith money guests

Soulful Allsorts // 30.01.10

Soulful Allsorts welcomed Keith Money to the fabulous Subcity studio yesterday. Just slightly hotter than the 100 club in Oxford street London where Keith is a resident DHj with the legendary 6Ts club. Check here for hios history in soul music.

http://www.6ts.info/news.asp?area=keith

Keith took the opportunity to dig deep into his record collection to come up with a choice selection of soul tunes from different era and genres. He quickly grasped that keeping a dance floor busy is quite different to putting together a playlist for a well programmed radio show. Host Fraser Dunn keeps the chat and the questions going whilst Felonious Munk plays the tunes all on vinyl and most on 45rpm seven inch singles.

an ode to an alternative america

Initial Itch // 29.01.10

This week, two men died who will be sorely missed. This edition of Initial Itch is dedicated to J.D. Salinger and Howard Zinn. Salinger you will probably know as the reclusive author of the era-defining Catcher in the Rye, though you may not have heard of Zinn, an American historian and civil rights activist who spoke alot of truth in his lifetime.

As memorial to these two visions of an alternative america, we've decided to broadcast Allen Ginsberg's epic, beautiful cry of a poem 'Howl' in it's entirety. It often feels, living as an artist in the UK, that culture here (not to mention politics) looks perpetually across the pond for guidance, and sometimes it can be difficult to countenance that view without being violently sick. This show is perhaps intended to be a little reminder that it ain't all bad.

Also, in addendum to Steve's poem Whimper, I'd like to say fuck you Howard and fuck you J.D.

Fuck you very much.

We'll be back next week.

food

Live From Las Vegas // 29.01.10

This is how you cook caille en sarcophage, right:

Um, take some...food, right...well, I mean, the ingredients...um...

Well what it is, is, well, it's quail (not quite sure what that is, but I'll wikipedia it) and you put that in a puff pastry shell...

That is, I mean, if you're keen on puff pastry.

Personally, I'm not. It just tastes...well, I dunno...subjective, innit? But I'm not keen.

But, for the purposes of this, uh, thing here, this recipe if you will, I'll, er, carry on.

After you've got the quail in the puff pastry shell (not sure why it has to be a shell- why not a box?) you have to have a, uh, foie gras and also a, uh, truffle sauce.

I mean, you could make it from scratch, but me, personally, speaking for myself, I usually just buy them pre-packed from Lidl. But I mean, it's up to you. I'm not trying to ram this down your ear or anything.

Awright. Cheers. Man 1 from Live from Las Vegas

last night on synth: new daft punk!! (possibly)

Synth // 29.01.10

So this week has been somewhat of a frenzy on the blogosphere, firstly we had 'Fragile', a song supposedly written by Daft Punk and then we had 'Beginning Of The End', new music apparantly from Justice. Thankfully both were outed as fakes, the Justice track was decidedly shit.

Then, on Wednesday, out of nowhere came what is reportedly the real deal...new Daft Punk written for the score of Tron. Last night I aired this 12 minute long monster so give it a listen and let me know what you think! Daft Punk or not??

I also had new music from Groove Armada Ali Love & Louis La Roche as well as a run down of all the hottest parties going on in Glasgow and beyond this weekend, plus a ten minute mix of mash up madness!

I'm also DJ'ing alongside Late Of The Pier and PMcQ tonight at Pin Up Nights at The Flying Duck so if you're currently in a state of frenzied panic at the thought of having nothing to do this evening, now you know! There's some fantastic live bands playing from 9 so get down early and soak it up!

The Funky Cuts // 27.01.10

I'm doing a lot more vinyl only shows and was pleased to see a microphone rigged up over the decks. Mind you it took me fifteen minutes to work out which channel it was on. One can get away with murder when playing in clubs but with the head phones on you do hear some surface noise. But the music is good so if you have speakers use them.

Enjoy Marvin Gaye, The Artistics, Buena Vistas and many more crammed into an hour long show.

geeeeeez louise.

what a week its been.

so this weekends Itch! has had to move both day and venue at the last minute. i'm not even gonna go into to too much or i may actually shed a manly man-tear. just one though. because we're hard as nails here at casio canteen.

we'll be holding this months soiree in the Research Club, university avenue. you will have likely walked past this venue at some point and thought...'what is it? is it a house? is it a pub? is it a club? is it an unusually located masonic lodge?'. yes, from the outside the building would appear to be more misleading than the channel 5 news....but that is in fact the research club, and tomorrow night from 9pm, we'll be turning it into a hedonistic hotspot!

The night kicks off at 9pm, we've got all the same DJ's as before. in fact, since we're more generous than [insert something witty] we've even added an extra couple of DJ's to the bill! bazingaaah

How'd ya like them apples......

Its gonna be big so get down early to make sure you get in. 5 bucks door damage. 29th January - 9pm - 2am - Research Club - University Avenue

oh yeah..and here's this weeks casio canteen. its actually one of my favourite episodes so far, a great mix of ambient electronica, grimy dubstep and perfect pop.

enjoy

This week we'll be playing a whole host of bands never before played on the show. Including tracks by Foxgang, Two Door Cinema Club, Honestly Christian. However we'll also be throwing in a few of our favourites, as George's obsession with Cancel The Astronauts and The King Hats continues. Add to all this the usual features of Nikki's News, Nikki's Nostalgia, A Saving Grace, the return of the Song Battle, as well as an interview with Joe Black organiser of a particularly nice looking (and morally rewarding) gig this weekend, and it all makes a pretty good show. So we'll see you at 5pm right?

fans of live music listen up!!

Subcity Sessions // 31.01.10

This Sunday on Subcity Sessions we have two super bands for your listening pleasure.

First up we have The King Hats. We love this band for their fast paced, dance along tunes, as the band says themselves they 'enjoy a right royal rave up, and that’s what comes across in our songs'. We are sure they will be bringing the party on Sunday night. Their debut single, 'I Was The Riot At The Art School Last Night', is out now on on King Tuts Recordings. For More information on the band check out their myspace at http://www.myspace.com/thekinghats .

Our second band for the evening are The Murderburgers, who can be found at http://www.myspace.com/themurderburgers . We are bringing in the party bands for this month's Sessions as The Murderburgers describe their songs as being about 'sweet-ass pop-punk girls, getting drunk, having fun, no money and having lots of mental problems'. We are lucky enough to have the band in before they head off on a European tour, which kicks off in March. You can check out the dates on the band's myspace, along with some dates closer to home.

So make sure you listen in to Subcity Sessions on Sunday 31st of January 6pm - 8pm, this is not to be missed!!

viva nigeria! - saturday 30th jan 2010 - 1-2 pm

Journeys // 30.01.10

Hey folks,

This week's show is a quick blast through some West African music.

I'll be playing a load of 1970s and 1980s rock, funk, afrobeat and soul from Nigeria. Expect to hear Fela Kuti & The Africa 70, Sahara All Stars Of Jos, Orlando Julius & His Modern Aces, The Don Isaac Ezekiel Combination, Sunny Risky & The Vitamin Explosions and as many more exotically named bands as I can possibly squeeze in!

As you may know, I am a particular fan of Fela Kuti, a man who took Nigerian instruments, beats and rebel attitude and combined it with American soul and funk, to come up with a whole new musical style. He christened it Afrobeat and proceeded to spend the next 30 years or so creating funky protest songs aimed at the various dictators that ruled Nigeria during the period; as well as preaching Pan-African consciousness and liberation. He was jailed and beaten on a few occassions, but continued to rail against oppression and injustice until his untimely death in 1997 (believed to be AIDS related - he wasn't exactly shy around the ladies).

There is currently a musical running on Broadway in New York, New York based on Fela's music and life-story (called 'Fela!'). The show's 'above the title' producers (Will Smith & Shawn 'Jay Z' Carter) are this week's Weird But Wonderful contenders:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FFrCZNNCeU

1. DJ Jazzy Jeff And The Fresh Prince - Girls Ain't Nothing But Trouble

This number was Will Smith's debut in the world of pop-rap. It samples the theme from 'I Dream Of Jeannie' (a 1960s US sitcom that starred Larry 'JR from Dallas' Hagman as an astronaut married to Barbara Eden's genie - hilarity ensued). I bought it on 12" vinyl from Woolworth's in 1986. No idea where it is now, mind.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YE6s-uleT0

2. Jay Z - Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)

Showing an early interest in the stage musical genre, Jay samples 'Annie'. Completely without irony, apparently. It is infuriatingly catchy, though.

To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

Sue: Nice?

Gary: No

Sue: Did you get a job?

Gary: No

Sue: What?

Gary: No

Sue: Why no?

Gary: Don't know

Sue: What!?

Gary: Aye

Sue: If you don't get a job i'll have to move back in with the crickets

Gary: Damn you mum, damn you to tarnation. Was man sculpted from such terrible clay only to live out his waking hours toiling in factories and fields? What God bothered his hand for man? What tormenting creator filled our heads and our dreams with such fantastic things so that we may never realise them? A job? A job!? No, while my frail body may only achieve frail deeds shackled to the chain gang of society; my soul it flys. Love does not know nine to five, passion does not know nine to five, my sweet mother - I do not know nine to five. While held in the mercy of his bosom, Time allowed me to think not of careers. My younger self dreamed not of the work force but of the stars and the planets of adventures and most of all about love. Did I grow old only to let these dreams die? Truely man does not grow old, he grows tired. I am very tired now. There is no job for me, no job that will do anything but crush my soul. That boy that I once was has died and so have the golden days of summer in which he sang. Now I am dying too. A job - no! A job - no.

Sue: What?

Gary: Aye

Sue: Give me a hand with these snus, we've only got two left - when they're done we'll have to fight to the death to see who eats the other.

Gary: Aye

special guest -felix cartal (dim mak) 4th feb 2010

Subcity Presents... // 25.01.10

THURSDAY 4TH FEB ONLY - FELIX CARTAL (Dim Mak) - DJ SET.

R-P-Z takes place every thursday DOWNSTAIRS at the Glasgow School Of Art Student Association. RPZ deejays specialise in digital stimulation design to provoke and maintain non-stop dancing.

On Thursday 4th of February RPZ present FELIX CARTAL (DJ SET) at the Glasgow School Of Art.

Felix Cartal is a Canadian artists based in Vancouver who in the past two years has risen to international prominence among a new wave of dance artists who have built their profile squarely upon blogging and free file sharing. Through the popularity of tracks released on myspace, Felix quickly became a familiar name not only among the trend-leading new blogs, but also among some of the most important of the emerging stars of this new scene, with his is tracks became regular spins for the likes of MSTRKRFT, Crookers, Steve Aoki and Felix Da Housecat.

Felix's productions, early favourites like Vancouver and his most recent Skeleton EP, demonstrate a pre-occupation with filtering the rawness of the punk rock into electronic music aimed at the dancefloor, directly drawing influences from digital punk rock bands like NOFX and Lighting and the sparse electronics of James Holden and Alter Ego.

From humble beginnings as a bedroom bound computer nerd, Felix is now signed to Steve Aoki's Dim Mak label alongside MSTRKRFT, Armand Van Helden, Bloody Beetroots, Shinichi Osawa, Pase Rock, Whitey and Glasgow's own Shitdisco

As always RPZ residents Bonjour Boi and Hushpuppy will be on hand to provide the cybernetic backbone to the nights rhythmic entertainments. Amid the glowing pop-art projections and dizzying cosmic visuals they will be spinning out their own brand of sweat inducing digital disco delirium, grinding together electro, rave, jerky bassline, italo, synthetic disco, French sound, gay hi-NRG, Oz-matic punk-house and delinquent techno.

RPZ - making laser beams.... in your dreams!

spotlight on 1966

Roots, Rock, Reggae // 25.01.10

This week I'm back to having a theme for the episode, and today it was a feature on the year 1966. Obviously an hour is hardly enough to go through the 200+ singles released in 1966, but along with my friend and fellow enthusiast Campbell McInally we have picked out some of the best, some of the not so popular, and some of the downright obscure songs from 1966. Enjoy.

This week, we welcome 3 very special guests: Johnny, Jamie and Dom. We bring you a collection of our favourite hip-hop songs, covering a range of sub-genres and styles. Although Tarantism isn't exclusively a hip-hop radio show, a lot of the songs we play feature elements of hip-hop production, particularly the soulful samples, and slow breakbeats. We highly value the tastes of our 3 companions, so this is not a show to be missed.

Truly poetic by the midnight cheese feaster, Steph...and I thought I was the weird one, she doesn't even have a dog let alone live near an area populated by sea lions. Its true, where would the nearest sea lions be to us here in Glasgow? Huuuh. Anyway enough of her trippy weird dreams, tune into Kaleidoscope at the usual time to see how this tale has had an effect upon the show. A variety of new mixed with old from the unknown to the unsigned, its not to be missed. Monday Noon till 1pm. Love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes xx

On this week's Get Back To 8-bit, I delve into the deepest groves and forests, lakes and oceans, exploring the animal kingdom and the songs which ask the pressing questions, like how much shit will a monkey fling even after it's been satisfied by your good self? I'm expecting an unusual influx of listeners as all the Furries catch wind of it, but I do not condone your lifestyle... least of all when you do it in the middle of an anatomy lecture.

Initial Itch // 22.01.10

Today, in something of a digression, we have T.S. Eliot reading all of his epic modernist poem cycle The Waste Land, with some excellent music thrown in for good measure. We're not saying the legendary Mr Eliot needs any embellishment, you understand, just that perhaps there are people better at guitars and sythesisers than him. Do enjoy this indulgent hour of poetic goodness.

As a small prelude, there's also a little bit from local poet Kirsty Logan, reading her poem Said the Sea-Witch. Remember, don't hesitate to get in touch if you want to contribute to anything flatrate does. initialitch@flatratestate.com is the address you'll be wanting to send all you poems, songs and stories to.

We'll be back next week, same art-time, same art-channel, for some live broadcasting from a prison. We will also play some Johnny Cash. You can be sure of that.

shut up and eat your nonsense

Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 21.01.10

Yes, when a show kicks off with a reference to Owls playing Buckaroo, you know Nick must be back in the studio. No live guest this week i'm afraid, which reveals a truism, never expect a musician to know their own phone number.

Same format as last week, your guide to what's hot and not in Glasgow gigs this week. There's Americana, Indie-Disco, Alt-rock and what we've decided to christen Hair-Math, which begs the question, are fans of the genre Hair-Math-rodites? Yeah, Nick didn't find that funny either. Listen in to hear the actual funny stuff, some great music, some not so great music and the usual screw ups!

Now Shut Up and Eat Your Music

imaginary friend: you gotta shoot 'em in the head!

Get Back To 8-bit // 21.01.10

Thanks Laura, for making me look like my brain had been replaced by spanners. She is lovely really and does talk, but only during periods where a spacial anomaly obscures her from all your perceptions. Also, the 'Let's Get Physical' boys have informed me that if 'Get Back To 8-bit' were in fact 'Let's Get BackTo 8-bit' as they suggested it should be, then the acronym would be LGBT8-bit and thereby create an entirely new meaning for the show and probably increase my audience figures too. Thanks for that.

Anyway, here are the news links for Get Back To 8-bit for 21st Jan 2010:

No Christian exercise is more appropriate than killing a man from several hundred feet away through a high powered, Jesus-sanctioned rifle. Onward Christian soldiers!

Great, now we men not only need to promise to buy our women-folk the moon, but also these other bullshit planets? (For the record, I have never promised to buy a girlfriend 'the moon', because that is lame. I have however bought a girl a box of cornflakes for Valentine's day.)

woodenbox with a fistful of fivers on pgtr

Pop Goes The Revolution // 22.01.10

This Friday we are very pleased to announce the astounding Woodenbox With A Fistful of Fivers will be joining us in the studio.

The band are set to release their début album on the Electric Honey label (Belle & Sebastian, Snow Patrol, Biffy Clyro). The album, called 'Home and the Wildhunt' will be released on April 6th, with the lead single, Draw A Line, available now.

The sextet are one of Scotland's finest bands, and this Friday we will have them in the studio; where they'll be talking about the music they love, the band's experiences, as well as playing a few acoustic tracks live on air.

One of the most promising bands in the country, the band are popping into the studio before their Burn's night headline gig at Tuts on the 22nd, before embarking on their national tour.

To say that the Pop Goes The Revolution are a little excited by this Friday would be an understatement of epic proportions. If you have any questions or messages for the band, send them to popgoestherevolution@googlemail.com. Tune in from 5pm, or catch it on Listen Again, to hear the band.

Initial Itch // 15.01.10

This Initial Itch is something of a tribute to poet Graham Buchan, as we read our favourite selections from his excellent book, There is Violence in These Vapours (available to purchase here, from the publisher).

In addition to Mr Buchan's wonderful words, we have music from Glasgow-based folky minstrels Potential Strangers, led by the breathtalking Dol Eoin Mackinnon (who was our resident musician for December's live Initial Itch at the 13th Note Cafe). We also have new music from The Hidden Cameras and classic poetry from our friend Allen Ginsberg.

Stay tuned to the Itch here on Subcity.org: coming soon on the show we are preparing a live broadcast from Polmont Young Offenders institiution with lower east side legend Martin Belk, and a T.S. Eliot special.

Casio Canteen // 20.01.10

Back from a stint in starbucks rehab.

far less caffeinated than usual, we return to our regular schedule bringing you the best in perfect electronic pop.

I do love our new slot, i'm a total sucker for anything with a good female vocal line, so arriving at the studio each week midway through Spill is always a treat. I decided to try and follow on from them by digging out some great beats with female vocals to kick off the show with. Ever since Gramophonedzie's track Why Don't You, i've been searching for tracks with a similar old school sound. This week we get things going with the awesome Brazilian Girls remix of the classic track Just One Of Those Things by Blossom Dearie, its a blinder. its also so catchy that it'll be stuck in your head for weeks.

love you all

Screen Shrapnel // 16.01.10

Its one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by a programme on a student radio station, there are over 400 secondary schools, 21 universities , 46 colleges in Scotland and we are getting in contact with them all. Hundreds of thousands of young people across Scotland are going to be offered the chance to take part in a project thats the first of its kind in Scotland.

Debate is Free which airs only on Subcity radio at the University of Glasgow is working on a special edition of the show separate from its usual format. 2010 is a General Election year and thousands of young people will looking at the political parties on offer and wondering who to vote for. Some may never have voted either due to the fact they were too young or they have never felt the need to vote or politics leave just them cold.

Debate is Free aims to bring the debate in a way that young people will find accessible and can interact with in a way they want to. The special edition of Debate is Free on March 11th, potentially just weeks before an election is called will bring a panel of six before a studio audience for 90 minutes to answer their questions and questions submitted by listeners. The debate will range from the topical, to party policy to anything the audience demand be answered. Nothing is barred anything can be put forward for the panel to answer. From the recession, to the war on terror, to youth issues and human rights, we will consider anything.

Anyone will be able to listen on our website www.subcity.org and comment on what they hear on the Debate is Free Facebook fan page or by using Twitter and the tag #debateisfree.

what’s wrong with you people?

Humans perplex me. Basically we’re shuffling sacks of neuroses, stumbling through our pitiful lives expelling bad smells, bad manners and bad taste. If you want evidence for all three of these charges just head to cineworld any night of the week. In that garish tower of steel and glass, mingling amongst the smell of rancid hotdogs and the dull drone of elevator music you’ll find even more unpleasant odors and sounds, all emanating from the average film audience, be it cackling teenagers on mobiles, horny couples getting frisky on the back row, corpulent Harry-Knowles-esque nerds with hygiene issues, nattering pensioners sucking on Worther’s Originals, and, worst of all, pretentious cinephiles pontificating on where the director went wrong…I hate those guys.

But even more infuriating than these skin-bags are the films that they cherish. Listen again to this week's show to find out which much beloved movies the shrapnel team can’t stand.

Also on this week show we discuss the Oscar tipped Up in the Air and the expletive laden 44 Inch Chest.

Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed

Benzo and Nav Are Dead, Long live Benzo and Nav // 17.01.10

You can't stop the rock! Oh, oh no you can not. Why? Because Benzo and Nav are some solid fellows, that is why. Hmm, that sounds kind of weird. Never mind: it's an adventurous hour of bluegrass and jazz*- even longtime friends Kraftwerk drop by to make some humming noises replete with computer-sounding voices. The fun just never stops. Benzo and Nav also remind you that in these economic hard times, it makes sense to convert your finances from cash to gold and then from gold in to cats. It's just the smartest thing to do, really.

Bigfoot's Tea Party // 12.01.10

After a little hiatus to concentrate on our ever growing club nights, the Bigfoot team has returned to Glasgow's top independent radio station. We are delighted to be back smoking the beef with Subcity so every Monday/Tuesday (which ever you class it as) catch us at midnight for a ride of techno and house.

Recently having blown the candles out at our First Birthday Bash with Lucio Aquilina, Hans Bouffmyhre and the Bigfoot A/V team (Marmalade Man, Faux Pas and Redux) it was time once again to slip into the studio and spin some techno.

Next show we start a competition with the chance to win two tickets to Bigfoot's Tea Party at The Art School with HERMANEZ (Circo Loco/Quartz) Friday 5th Feb.

Check out our recent playlist from the 12th Jan to see what you can expect next week.

first show of the new year!

Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 14.01.10

Wow, feels like ages since we did a show. That's because it is! And i say we, but we were without the company of Nick today. In his place we had a musical guest in the form of Pamela Quinn, a local chanteuse who performed a lovely rendition of her song "Fairytale" and provided some nice chat and banter too.

So we've got a new format, with the focus on highlighting the local live music scene, gigs coming up in the next week, and having live performances in the studio. I think I coped well without my trusty technician, who needs a techie anyway?

Methinks the format worked well, feel free to email me at oanadid@googlemail.com (the email address for the PivoPivo/Bluesbunny record label, see www.myspace.com/oanadid for details) with your thoughts.

Cheers

Journeys // 16.01.10

Hey there folks,

Having brought you the contractually obliged (having advertised it so long ago) rain-based show last week, I am now ready to kick off 2010 good-style!

This week's show is a review of the music that was new to me in 2009. That doesn't, of course, actually mean 'new' music. This is Journeys not the NME. So, I will be playing a selection of decades-old tunes that I heard for the first time in 2009. Simples.

It will also act as a taster of sorts for upcoming shows, featuring, as it will, a genre-busting selection of funk, soul, reggae, African, Cuban, electronic, Brazilian, psychedelic, indie and erm... probably loads of other forms of music that I can't even think of just now...

No Spotlight this week, so that I can just cram in as many tunes as possible.

The Weird But Wonderful vote features just about the only two bands whose new releases I paid any sort of attention to in 2009 (and only because I'm already a fan):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmGNo8RL5kM

1. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Zero

From the album 'It's Blitz!'. They still f*cking rock! And Karen O is still going all out for the 'arty-kook-punk' vibe.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf7vlAVVHyE

2. Doves - Push Me On

B-Side to the single 'Kingdom Of Rust', from the album of the same name. One of my favourite live acts ever. Have seen them a few times, the most memorable being the Barrowlands Ballroom here in good old Glasgow toon, just after The Last Broadcast came out. Sweet.

To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

Build And Destroy // 14.01.10

Ok, this week we have a special guest in the form of Point To C coming into the studio to help present the show while Sally is away for the weekend. You might have caught him DJing at the Art School and The Ivy. He's going to play some tunes that were highlights from 2009. He said he tried to stay away from the obvious ones. Tune in tonight from 9pm.

Plenty of news on sex with robots, dealing with post-Avatar depression, the disabled criminal elements surrendering to robots and the peril of real world superheroes.

Yo! Rock n Roll Meltdown ain't on this Thursday (5-7pm) cos Pete is moving house and all his CDS are in these huge crates that are getting carted about town. Fortunately, next week (21st January) will see an almighty return to form, with a bonanza of properly rock n' roll items (providing they don't get trashed in the move). Cheers.

The Breakfast Show // 11.01.10

Breakfast Is Back with avengance and Nicki B, Mel and our Breakfast Ninja supreme-o Heather are raring to go. Well...that was our intention anyway!

We decided that since our music is so darn good, our patter is banter-ific and our general dulcet tones so delicate to the ears that we just have to set about reminiscing about good ol' 2009, with some of our best of the best of the very best of our playlist to boot!

So swig that tea, crunch that toast, and enjoy our chats about our very eventful very first show, the "Strip The Willow Incident", Guess The Year - ahem, 2009 (!!) and our brown and tomato sauce debates while we play you our favourite tunes from last year's features and then some. ¡Hasta la vista 2009!

Why has everything turned DISCO? Where the hell did Funky UK come from? and why do we insist of playing Legeti?

All we know is that everything rests on the silicone shoulders of the computer we are about to reawaken.

2010 is ours for the taking

Codeine Drums // 11.01.10

Heeey what's good listeners?!

I am in total belief that 2010 is going to be an incredible year for quality, exciting and innovative hip hop, rap and electronic music. Where it is all too easy to get lost in a sea of weakly-composed autotune club space fillers rather than dancefloor stompers, there are some genuine lights of the coming year that are getting me hyped for some beautiful hip hop. Scotland is taking over the world with super-label Numbers taking over 2010 in terms of electronic joints that will have you furiously searching blogs for dodgy mp3s of future club hits, LuckyMe is the biggest fuggin thing in the world and has every credible chin-stroker music fan ooing and aaahing from behind their screens, and a whole host of rappers and producers are getting me excited for the coming months - see Jay Electronica, Mos Def, The Cool Kids, new Erykah Badu.. even what the hell the nutty machine that is Young Money is gonna come up with next ha. Tune in MONDAYS 2-3 for future hip hop, rap, dubstep, electronic and beat classics, white labels, sneaky unreleased joints and mixtape exclusives straight off the blogs. You have been warned, the Drums is back.

all my love

xoxo

Back to the norm. Its The 11th Hour - everything is left to the last minute. From essays, presentations, general work attendance our bah humbugs have quickly shifted from Christmas madness to January blues, but fret not I've got it under control. Im a creature of habit, and ok there is nothing worse than someone who is bubbly about everyday life, they usually can be found in outdoor centres encouraging you to scale a tree "because its fun!" but when it comes to music I hate to see the ball drop. Tune in at the usual time Monday, Noon till 1pm to find the usual suspects; Love a Cover, Monday Midday Madness Cure and Golden Oldies. Love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes xx

Beat Beneath // 11.01.10

As you all know it's extremely chilly outside so I'm going to attempt to play some warm, laidback tunes in an attempt to do something about that. Nothing too full-on, just a selection of nice wintry tracks.

This show is 100% vinyl for added warmth :)

post-apocalypse...now!

Screen Shrapnel // 09.01.10

The bombs are falling, the dooms-day clock has ticked its last tock, UFOs are hovering above The White House, your flat-mate it trying to eat your brains and you’ve just decapitated your rabid five-year-old daughter with a shovel…welcome to the Apocalypse. It’s on this cheery note that Screen Shrapnel kick-off the new decade, and, coincidentally, cinema has provided us with a couple of dystopian nightmares for the boys to mull over.

First up is John Hillcoat’s adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer winner The Road, a hellish vision of a father and his young son’s attempt to survive in a lawless world following an unspecified global cataclysm. From the sublime to the ridicules, we also discuss Daybreakers, a far less subtle imagining of the end of humanity where vampires rules the planet and humans are hunter for their tasty hemoglobin

The team will also be discussing their favourite post-apocalyptic movies and, in Nick Green’s absence, we’ve roped in hirsute raconteur and all round cinema geek James Kloda to add some class to the preceding. It’s the End of Days people, it’s going to be gooey, gory, and a lot of fun.

Orderly Disorder

allo allo allo guys,

Happy 2008 and all the best for 2012 (if the mad Myan bastards are right, you'll need it)

Anyhoos, just to let you all know, the past couple of shows Ive started to do an ableton 6 deck set, hence most of the time theres always atleast 2 songs playing. This makes it hard to keep an accurate track list caus it would be about 40 songs long (and theres bugger all chance im discoging 40 bloody tracks every show!) But anyway ill try stick up most of it for all you tune pikeys out there.

P.S. we're having a random disorder at the duck this friday the 15th just as a wee last minute party befroe our normal first sat of the month in Feb. Keep your eyes out for some free passes kicking about most bars in town. (if you get stuck steal one from the studio)

Hello all,

and a very Happy New Year to you from the One Louder ladies!

We're very excited to tell you that we've got a new slot this year, Thursdays from 4-5pm, and that means we'll be warming up the studio for the beast that is Pete Howard's Rock N Roll Meltdown, woo! That being said, after six months of being sandwiched in between the excellent people of The Saturday Shakedown and She Said we will be missing Saturdays very much, boo!

Our new year's resolution is to bring you a higher quality show, with better music (if that's even possible), better chat, crazy themed shows and some fun fun fun features.

Our first show of Twenty-Ten will air this coming Thursday at 4pm!

***THIS SHOW WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR 5TH DECEMBER 2009***

Hey folks,

Rather than a genre-based theme, this week's show is dedicated to the incredible amounts of water that have been falling out of the skies over Glasgow, and the rest of the UK, the last couple of weeks.

Expect a genre-busting selection of precipitation inspired tunes fom the likes of The Beta Band, Parliament, The Beatles, Brook Benton, Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band, Chopin and as many more as I can squeeze in...

(Now that the weather has changed expect some bonus snow-related sounds...)

The Weird But Wonderful vote is 90% weird this week, featuring a couple of rock-radio style classics:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mSkZU8IkjE&feature=fvw

1. Rainbow - Since You've Been Gone

shure blown away

The Funky Cuts // 06.01.10

I arrived at Subcity with a carefully selected box of 12" singles. The studio was empty and I took my time in fitting my own Shure 44 E carts to the Technics , balanced them tested them sopped stylus with a spare and cued up George Duke's Party Down. I should have paid closer attention to the record as I noticed a pied of fluff sitting on the groove and heading closer to the stylus. I thought I could blow it out of the way. I did but I the cart flew back as well. Nice start.

Anyway it turned out to be a good omen for what I thought was a great show. Well the music was top class with Parliament, Cerrone and Chic on the play list. Listen Again and see if you agree.

ferguson's successor

Patrick Barclay has written an interesting article on the Times website regarding Sir Alex’s successor, a topic which comes up nearly every few months. As a United fan, I can’t remember the last time I’ve watched them play and not thought about how you follow up a man who has brought the Red Devils unrivalled success. The end of Ferguson’s leadership of Manchester United could bring instability and with that nearly always comes failure. Having spent so long at the top the only way is down and although honour will be bestowed on whoever follows Fergie at Old Trafford it is likely to be a poisoned chalice.

When looking at the contenders for his job very few have a convincing CV, especially if United look at an old boy. It’s amazing to see how many players Ferguson coached at United have become managers, and how many of his assistants have spread their wings to taking over at other clubs. But very few of these could be considered a ‘safe-bet’ to step in when Ferguson eventually steps down, they are more likely to face mistrust from the Old Trafford faithful who had once worshipped them as players, or hear rumblings over team selection while Sir Alex would be trusted whole-heartedly.

The abrasive leader Roy Keane had respect from his peers while on the pitch, but his managerial career hasn’t been convincing. Promotion to the Premier League with Sunderland was the dream start but with large amounts of money to spend, his squad couldn’t cut the mustard in the top-flight. Steve Bruce's managerial career surpasses Keane’s, having also gained promotion he kept Birmingham City up for successive seasons before they once again dropped back to the Championship. He moved to Wigan Athletic and kept them up before going to Sunderland. All of these clubs aim for top-flight survival but none rival the magnitude of Manchester United. Perhaps a real contender in Mark Hughes who might have ruined his chances by taking the reins at Manchester City but he has the most pedigree of all having led Wales and Blackburn Rovers as well. He has made shrewd moves in the transfer market and arguably revolutionised the squad at Eastlands, priming them for an assault on the top of the Premier League table.

Outside of these old boys those who have been closest to Sir Alex in a coaching sense seem lacking in real class to make the move from assistant coach to head coach. We all know Steve McLaren’s mixed career and I don’t believe he is in the frame despite having led England during his managerial career. Carlos Queiroz appeared to be the dead cert five years ago when Fergie was considering calling it a day but having been dumped by Real Madrid in no time he looks out of the picture too. So what options do United have? The begrudging mutual respect between Fergie and Mourinho seems to have boosted his chances of returning to the Premier League. Very few challenge Fergie and manage to win him over as a fan and that could hold enormous sway at United. Again Fergie appeared to have interest in Laurent Blanc, bringing him in at the end of his career while the United team needed a solid defence. Blanc’s leadership has been shown in the Ligue 1 as Bordeaux have won the championship and are looking in great nick in reaching the knock-out stages of the Champions League. Other than these guys it is possible United will opt for Martin O’Neill, one manager who has proven his talents in the SPL and in making Aston Villa challenge for the top of the Premier League.

The benefit of choosing Martin O’Neill is his experience of the British game and his ability to make good teams great, and successful in Europe. The straight-talking Ulsterman appears a superb man-manager, has excellent judgement in the transfer market and nearly always seems to balance attacking threats with a solid base in a starting eleven. Having played under another incredible manager at Nottingham Forest in Brian Clough, that makes him the real contender, even though that disagrees with Patrick Barclay.

--Richard McFarland

Shaun fae Solar is the special guest deejay, he'll be causing it so get down early and get hydrated.

looking back instead

We're back with our first show of 2010: a two and a half hour long sprawling mammoth of a High School Special! We've got guests in to share the nostalgia, discussing what we all listened to in our school days, along with a couple of other requests from the people who couldn't make it along. The studio setup was pretty hectic - all we had was a playlist to go by and everything else was more or less improvised. So it was a mess, but in the best possible way.

Guests:

Gerald Chau
Emma Goldie
Paul McLaughlin
Timothy McQuillian
Robert Swann
Chris Ward

We'd like to thank everyone for coming with us and picking their chosen songs - you tha' man.

Our first show of 2010 pays respect to the best songs of the previous year. Tonight, in a special 2 hour show, we play a collection of our personal favourite tracks from 2009, followed by a mix from each of us, live in the Subcity studio.

Nathan plays a selection of down-tempo and funky grooves, followed by a melee of summer floor-fillers from Marco.

Enjoy!

where's your money gone?

Masha was beaming // 30.12.09

Time for the first article of the new year, and by the end of 2010 Portsmouth FC might not even exist. It’s always sad when a football club goes through financial difficulties, in the past decade we’ve seen so many clubs reach the top division only to spend ridiculous amounts of money thinking they can replicate good first season form the next time around. Or ‘doing a Leeds’ and going from the Champions League semi-finals all the way down to League One.

With Portsmouth it’s perhaps even stranger. Having won the FA Cup in 2008, stability wasn’t a watch word at Fratton Park, they had a stand-out squad that mixed experience and talent and a great manager to boot. It appeared that the days of struggling in the wrong half of the Premier League table were over, and Pompy could aspire to a place in Europe, fitting in comfortably with top-half regulars like Everton and Spurs. This week once again Pompy have failed to pay their players, the third time wages have been delayed this season, and the club looks perilously close to shutting down. Rooted to the base of the Premier League doesn’t promise much on-field success for the second half of the season, and Avram Grant now has the unfavourable task of lifting Pompy out of the danger zone despite not knowing whether he or his players will have a club to play for next season.

So what happened to this great squad they once had? Having sold players to a variety of big clubs in England and Italy they should have a kitty of £80m to rescue them from this position, and it should have ensured things didn’t get this bad. So where has all the money gone? They haven’t been big players in the transfer market at all. Having managed to make so much money on transfers without spending much themselves, on-field troubles are understandable but the accusations from FC Lens that they have failed to pay instalments going into the millions for Aruna Dindane and Nadir Belhadj.

With the transfer embargo in place from the Premier League it looks like the best Portsmouth can hope for is a change in fortunes on the pitch and 17th place after the last match. Financially it’s hard to say what the club will be able to do in the short term. It might take the departure of a few more star players in January just to keep the club afloat and if that’s the case it could be a long time before Pompy see the top flight again.

Roots, Rock, Reggae // 21.12.09

As a little Christmas treat for my father and sister, I decided to bring them in to the studio with me to help out with a show. Plenty of chaos, a few mix-ups, but still the same great music.

NOTE: The playlist for this episode is not in the order that it plays on the episode. Instead, it is in alphabetical order.

Get Back To 8-bit resumes today for a one off before coming back proper in the new year. Myself and elder brother lack any theme other than to try to be as completely nerdy as possible for a period of two hours along with a playlist of chipbeat and 8-bit remixes. You will like if you are that way inclined, so listen.

wide men moving south?

Slave to the Rhythm // 28.12.09

Festive greetings on this chilly night!

We’re about halfway through the busy Christmas/New Year fitba fixtures now, and as it’s Boxing Day all the papers are writing the usual rubbish about transfers with the January transfer window opening in less than a week. As usual it’s a combination of ridiculous claims, unknown quantities moving to midtable clubs and struggling sides looking for experience.

What’s inspired me to write this piece was the mention of two similar Celtic players who, in unrelated stories, are supposedly attracting the attentions of separate English Premier League clubs. The two players in question are Aiden McGeady and Niall McGinn, both pacey wingers with the ability to beat quality defenders and produce a bit of magic to split the strongest defences. The gossip that drew me closer to wondering what Tony Mowbray will make of these offers, (that is if they come are actual offers and not simply paper talk) is that Celtic are unlikely to sell both but could be tempted into selling one if the money is right.

So Rafa Benitez is apparently considering buying McGeady to add another dimension to his poor Liverpool side who need a spectacular second half to the season in order to secure a top four place. What price would be acceptable for McGeady? I would guess £5m at the least. He remains a fans favourite despite having a tricky relationship with Mowbray but has only really shown glimpses of the promise he’s had from an early age. I’m sure Celtic would hope for around £7m to justify selling a big name like McGeady, but surely after seeing McGinn’s performances this season he realises he can get away with shifting McGeady for what would be really good money.

But does Mowbray trust McGinn? Personally I believe McGinn has been one of the few stars for Celtic this season, and he has so often managed it from the bench. It has been reported that Wolves are after him for around £1.5m which would be nice money for Celtic considering what they paid for him, but a snippet of his real value when you think of his great performances this season. Shouldn’t Mowbray bite the bullet and go for the younger and perhaps classier winger in McGinn? What would Celtic spend £5m on anyway? Could Celtic get buy with the having Barry Robson, Shaun Maloney or Paddy McCourt playing more regularly in the side? Is McGeady even good enough for the EPL? We’ll only know by the end of January…

Monday 28/12/09 10pm-midnight

"Slave To The Rhythm" is proud to present the SUBCULTURE SHOWCASE.

Glasgow's well-established house institution continues to reign supreme, with residents Harri and Domenic together every week playing some of the most cutting edge music from a range of electronic genres.

ESA and JUNIOR will join me in studio and (who knows?!?!) HARRI might show up too!! ;)

the best of 2009....

Mapping Terra Incognita // 17.12.09

The final show of 2009's schedule for Mapping Terra Incognita was so explosive that a light blew in the studio......or perhaps that was the work of a certain clumsy presenter. Either way, the show was a hectic one, squeezing in a number of categories to provide a countdown of the best music worldwide from 2009.

Its been an unbelievable year for music, especially for the UK and the way that electronic music has progressed, with the likes of Glasgow, Bristol and L.A. at the forefront. This is reflected in the show, as I look at the best collaboration, best soundtrack, best LP, release, artist and more.

Tune in and turn it up.....prepare for the global sound of Mapping Terra Incognita. (Oh, and Merry Christmas!!!)

Tarantism // 21.12.09

Tarantism play a choice of songs that they feel demonstrate intelligent use of sampling, and discuss how choosing the correct sounds can effect the mood of a song. The diverse selection of songs throughout the show range from electronic, to lounge, to ambient and to experimental hip-hop, and illustrate the various ways in which samples are used in modern sound production, regardless of genre.

Beat Beneath // 21.12.09

It's come to the end of 2009 so for the last Beat Beneath of the decade I'm going to run through, in my opinion, some of the best dance tracks to come out in 2009 in a special two-hour show. Expect tunes from Itamar Sagi, John Tejada, Robert Hood, Scuba and many many more in a show which will cover electronica, house, techno and "bass music" (how I dislike that term...). One not to miss...

Pop Goes The Revolution // 18.12.09

This week, as Consumermas looms, George attempts to avoid discussing that torid time of year altogether. Meanwhile, Nikki comes in full festive gear and parade about with tinself ladened tracks sure to warm even the coldest hearts... apart from George's that is.

So expect the show to veer between ignoring Christmas all together to suddenly praising how wonderful it is. Expect the playlist to do something similar. With non-Christmasy offerings from Kap Bambino, Our Lost Infantry and Marble Fairy, as well as more festive stuff from Jason Mraz, Sufjan Stevens, as well as an electro-synth version of Let It Snow and this year's official Chronically Depressing Christmas Anthem from Slow Club.

This is going to be the second version of 2 joints out with the Auld Reekie All Stars having already done the first version for Show N Prove.

Also Nity and Jay have made a compilation of the funniest and craziest parts of the 2009 shows. If you have tuned in to most of the shows you can imagine how funny this should be.

Screen Shrapnel // 12.12.09

What’s the point of film critics’ end of year cannons? Solipsistic, ego-wanking lists that give the listers kudos among their peers, while simultaneously they shame the movie-going hoi polloi for not having seen the latest Bella Tar bore-fest...the bastards. But who are we at Screen Shrapnel to break with this reductive and hackney tradition. So here it is, the greatest films released in the UK in the last 12 months according to your favourite ill informed film-tits, Jamie Dunn, Graham Fulton and Nicholas Green.

So what do our top tens reveal about the Screen Shrapnel team? Well, firstly, we have quite eclectic tastes. Nick, for example, like some schizophrenic Barry Norman, has both a worthy costume drama and a straight-to-video assault on the senses vying for his top spot. Graham, meanwhile, finds space for both a crack-pot Bavarian maverick and an animated family adventure movie.

Also, contrary to our innuendo filled geezer antics in the studio, we’re quite a sensitive trio. Not only did we all plump for sensual studies of passion for our year's best, but our favourites were all filmed by the fairer sex. New age men or what?

What might not surprise you, however, is that there’s little agreement between us, with only two films making all three of our lists: The White Ribbon and Let the Right One In. All in all we have chosen twenty-two films, which include Bright Star, Vinyan, A Serious Man, The White Ribbon, Let the Right One In, Anvil! The Story of Anvil, Anti-christ, Moon, 35 Shots of Rum, The Cove, After School, Fish Tank, The Wrestler, Zombieland, Synecdoche NY, District 9, Sleep Furiously, Frozen River, Encounters at the End of the World, Il Divo and UP!.

Get on the facebook page to let us know what we’ve missed.

Build And Destroy // 17.12.09

It’s a Saturday afternoon. Somewhere at a desk an awkward dweeby bespectacled teen sits listening to the radio while studying for exams. Midway through a dull afternoon Jo Wiley (remember, it used to be ok to listen to her show) randomly chooses to play a tune by an obscure San Franciscan DJ/Producer. It catches the ear of the teen, they put down their workbook and scrabble frantically for the post-it notes kept handy for such occasions. Scrawling “Shadow Stem” onto a tacky scrap of dull yellow paper and slapping it up with the mosaic of other song notes on the wall beside the desk, they return to study…

Elsewhere in the same small town there’s Andrew. Living life with surgically attached headphones providing a constant stream of unadulterated Beastie Boys. Little did they know that a shared love of the record label which released DJ Shadow would stimulate a friendship that lasted decades and spanned the airwaves.

This week on Build and Destroy we celebrate musical exploration at the age of 15 and the joy of the late, formerly great, Mo’wax Records.

Students for Scarves and Charm // 15.12.09

Chaos reigns supreme in the studio as we fail to notice that someone has messed with the pitch on one of the CD decks until we realise that Tracy Ann Campbell from Camera Obscura sounds like she's chewing toffee and I am thrown into fits of confusion simply by thd movement of the studio phone number. Forgive us for our technical boobery. While technical Grinches threaten to ruin our (obligatory) Christmas special, Bicola lets out her inner Grinch by grumbling through some choice selections from Phil Spector's "A Christmas Gift For You", Sufjan Stevens singing about Jesus (again) and basically anything involving sleigh bells, and I recall Christmas memories of church and children's films.

All in all, a show that some terribly witty person on the internet is probably captioning "EPIC FAIL." right now.

This is our last show of the year so have a merry Christmas and a very happy New Year.

Mairiclare and Bicola.

The Feature album for this week is Le Lendemain's 'Fires' out now on the home normal label. "Le Lendemain is the new project between Danny Norbury and David Wengrenn. Following on from their early collaboration under David’s Library Tapes moniker (Sketches), we find the pair delivers a more personal album of hazy dialogues."

This album is certainly 'wintery' in every sense of the word. Amongst the serene sounds of Le Lendemain I will be playing some other favourite tunes of mine.

the last week in sport

Live From Las Vegas // 11.12.09

What an interesting week it's been to kick-off the busy Christmas period. We'll start our round-up with football, so often our main focus. Dean Ashton topped the sports stories early on Friday and once again not for happy reasons. The West Ham front man, often touted as a future England star called time on his career at the tender age of 26. We wish him all the best as he looks for a career after football.

Perhaps the lack of fireworks in the last round of Champions League football made this even bigger news, although in saying that Michael Owen rolled back the years with a hat trick over Wolfsburg to ensure Man Utd finished top of their group. Chelsea continued some dodgy form, having lost to Man City the weekend before, they drew with Apoel Nicosia but still topped the group having had earlier great form. One side without much form is Liverpool who seem to be going from crisis to crisis. The return of Gerrard, Torres and Aquilani in the past week haven't managed to stop the rot. Arsenal have hit form at a crucial stage of the season and beat Liverpool yesterday to consolidate third place in the league on a weekend when the two leaders dropped points. So, have Chelsea and Man Utd gone off the boil as we reach the busiest part of the season?

Meanwhile in Scottish action things still look tight. Walter Smith's decision to continue as Rangers boss without a contract shows a love and dedication we don't often see in the twenty-first century. They'll need continuity through this hard season as Beasley and Alexander consider moves for first team football. McGeady seems to have settled back into the Celtic team after difficulties with Mowbray a few months ago. Things are beginning to look good at Celtic Park with Samaras and Fortune showing great form in front of goal while Rangers prepare for a tough period once again reliant on Boyd to show them the way. And what of the chasing pack? Hibs and Dundee Utd remain within touching distance and on their day look as good as the Old Firm sides. Will they be in a similar position come the end of the season?

Rumour has it the SFA have had a large number of high quality applicants for the vacant national managerial position. Perhaps having time to fill the position will help them find the right man to take Scotland forward.

Moving on from football, we returned to club rugby following the Autumn Internationals. The Heineken Cup came back with a bang as Ulster survived some eye gouging and other jiggery pokery to beat French giants Stade Francais to roll back the years to 1999 when they won the European Cup. At the halfway point in the Cup Glasgow Warriors appear poised to make their best effort at reaching the latter stages, having beaten Gloucester comfortably at the weekend. Edinburgh couldn't continue the fine form for Scottish rugby and sit bottom of Pool 4 after losing to Bath.

In other sport, the UK Championship brought Ding Junhui his second major trophy last night by defeating John Higgins 9-7 in the final. So much for snooker being in trouble, a cracking semi-final between Higgins and Ronnie O'Sullivan had fans sitting on the edge of their seats after a stunning comeback from the Rocket ensured a last frame decider. In a completely contrasting sport to this, the NFL have announced they'll be back to the UK for two matches this time.

Not too bad for just one week eh? I've not even mentioned the BBC Sports Personality of the Year yet, bringing another trophy to Ryan Giggs, as if he needs it. While Jenson Button and Jessica Ennis finished the year on a high by picking up the runners-up places. Capello won coach of the year and maybe his first trophy in the UK will quickly be followed by a second if England can win the World Cup in 2010. One other team hoping to make a similar impact next year is the England cricket team, having won team of the year they will face South Africa, Pakistan and Australia next year and once again search for the top spot in the world.

This week we've got a full midweek fixture list in the EPL, Europa League action, the first Test match for Eng v SA, more Heineken Cup action, and Rangers will have another chance to go top of the SPL.

Pretty damn exciting, even if I do say so myself...

love

Hillary Chinnery returned from work late that day. This had become a regular occurrence but it should be noted that as the years went by the time he returned home had gotten later and later, as if one day he may just never return. This didn't seem like too bad a thing to happen thought his wife, who although loved her husband had grown increasingly sick of him the less she saw of him. It was already well into the evening when Hillary got in. "Where's my tea?" he mumbled before the door was even closed behind him. His wife explained that the chicken was in the oven but the frozen vegetables were not yet defrosted. Rage surged up inside Hillary and he only managed to curb it by focusing on his clenched fists and remembering that his favourite romantic movie was on tonight - running man. After a couple of medium strength lagers, watching Arnold Schwarzenegger kill off the surrounding members of the cast, Hillary felt better. Within the futuristic world he saw Arnold murder someone with a pneumatic drill and say 'screw you'. A cruel smile spread on Hilary's face and he enjoyed the idea that a brutal slaughtering required a proceeding pun. "How was work?" asked his wife from what seemed like nowhere. Hillary ignored the question. "How was work?" she repeated. Again Hillary ignored. "David came round today, asked if we had any plans for Christmas. I told him I didn't know." She said. For some reason this completely enraged Hillary. Blood rushed quickly to his face and he felt the heat burning in his cheeks. Still he said nothing to his wife. "Do you want me to get you another drink?" his wife asked. This was simply too much for the now fuming Hillary. He got up from the chair, constantly referred to as 'my chair', he walked a stiff walk to the kitchen and when he returned he was carrying the bag of not yet defrosted frozen vegetables. He then swung the bag at his wife. He knocked her down. He beat her to death. Hillary looked down at the object that was once a living thing and mumbled - "Rest in pees"

super special christmas special

Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites // 15.12.09

Christmas is the time of Christian worship, joy and peace. Fuck all that shite.

CIoE brings you the least festive show possible in the form of tracks about Satan, misery and extreme violence. It'll be the audio equivalent of waiting til Santa goes down a chimney and then throwing some napalm down after him...and then eating his reindeer for dinner.

our year in lists

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 14.12.09

Our final official week for this session's Subcity schedule brings us to our essential albums of 2009. It's safe to say that 2009 has been an amazing year for new music. Expect passionate raving about the releases we loved from '09, as well as a couple of artists new to the show that we've been itching to play.

What did you think of our end of year playlist? We want to know your own choices too - direct your comments to the Facebook page if you're so inclined.

P.S. we were misled about the new Jay Reatard MP3. There is no new song. Wah.

Get Back To 8-bit // 17.12.09

Good time's 'o' the season upon your geek laden selves! Bringing you a healthy dose of nerdery-based cheer, Get Back To 8-bit will be maintaining a playlist of Christmas songs about zombies (both human and reindeer), aliens, slavery, perverts, unknown parentage, hippos! You won't have heard these in the shops while you buy your girlfriend the highly original present of perfume. Please keep in mind I do have on offer gift cards for an hour of Gerald-love you could get her. I'm super discreet and I don't leave a mess. With that in mind, join myself, Allan and Jamie this Thursday @ 14:00 on subcity.org for satisfaction most definitely guaranteed!

mel and nicki b & not a breakfast ninja in sig

The Breakfast Show // 07.12.09

The Breakfast Ninjas have jumped ship (ie, snuggled up in bed!) and left Mel and Nicki B with the ultimate dilemma...who will get the sausages? Will there be time to bargain for a tattie scone or two? And what about the sauce? Grab and run with the tomato or gamble with the brown? All will be revealed as Mel and Nicki B rise to the challenge of multi-tasking this week!

As Jack Frost nips and the wind blasts, turn over in bed, pull the duvet tighter and relax with our favourite features and cheese-tastic tunes. It's banter for breakfast, served of course (we hope!) with the usual carnage and a tattie scone to boot!

Mel and Nicki B will bring you the very best of Christmas cheese, as well as our features and a Special Christmas Woo Song or ten from Nicki! So plonk your Santa hat firmly upon head, grab an elf and have a very merry sing-song for the next two hours...

This is Vanity // 13.12.09

Hey, well the secret third show may appear and may not o listen again, depending on how good you make this show. What do you mean, it's me that's meant to make the show good?

Well, tonight as I'm in the studio the Christmas number 1 is pretty much decided. Why should we care? Well, I remember the times when it was still a massive thing. I remember the years when Jackie Wilson's Reet Petite got there, when Whatever by Oasis narrowly missed out and I, yes I came * * this close to helping create a number 1.

Hear that story and my choice of what to buy for xmas music between 8 and 9 tonight.

Left Of The Dial // 12.12.09

This week: the last show of 2009 is, inevitably, Christmas/winter-centric. Returning favourites from Arab Strap and Darlene Love, something from Bob Dylan's "Christmas In The Heart" (which somehow manages to sound exactly like you'd expect whilst still being totally shitting mental) and Fucked Up and guests putting their own inimitable stamp on "Do They Know It's Christmas". It's a Festivus for the rest of us.

Initial Itch // 11.12.09

Alas, Steve is unable to attend the show this week, so trusty irish wonder Michael J. O'Neill steps in to take over co-host duties and discuss the spirit of christmas with Rob. Together, they go on a journey through the most troubling debates of our time, and play some pretentious christmas themed songs.

There's classic poetry from T.S. Eliot, and more from Glasgow four-peice El Dog with their take on Christmas pop classic Let It Snow, which is availiable as a free download right here!

Hope this christmas edition of the Itch helps you get through the exam/essay season slightly less jaded! We'll be back in the new year with more poetry, arts chat, and new music for you all. Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a Good Night!

Fear of Music // 11.12.09

which means only one more show before we go home. Phil was ill, and Anna proved her mettle by coming in at the very last minute (I text her at 9.30) and helping me out, so I wasn't just standing in a room by myself. Anyway, it makes for a nice change of tone for the show, and meant that I was allowed to play The Libertines.

Anyway normal service shall resume next week, so even if you'll already have left Glasgow by then listen in anyway. Ta! Emma.

It felt really cold and barren in the studio like a bad uterus yesterday doing the show all by my lonesome, so thank Voltron next week I'll be packing not one, but two other bodies in my very festive pants.

Now without further blurting, here are the news links for Get Back To 8-bit from 10/12/09:

While it's still unclear just what the effcicle was happening over Norway this week (My money's on extradimensional portal to five seconds ago), I think it's safe to say that if it turns out to be something bad, some arsetard in the church will tell us to stop bumming each other because of it:

Tap Ae The League // 11.12.09

Join Tap Ae The League on Facebook

Group A Bordeaux 16pts Bayern Munich 10 pts Juventus 8pts Maccabi Haifa 0pts

Juventus 1 - 4 Bayern

Juventus and Bayern faced off in Turin, with the winner guaranteed a spot in the last 16 (Juventus only needed a draw). Juve took the lead and then just sat in content for the draw. Butt equalised from the penalty spot, a 3rd goal in the CL for the keeper. Despite defeating Inter at home on Saturday, Ciro Ferrara attempted to play it safe, taking off Del Piero at half time, and replacing him with Poulsen. Juve got what they deserved for this, as Bayern played them off the park, scoring 3 in the 2nd half to finish 4-1. Buffon made a mess of the second, and Tymoschuk scored a cracking 4th to round things off, and ease the mounting pressure on van Gaal. Impressive win with no Arjen Robben in the starting line up, and Ribery and Klose injured (with Luca Toni out of the picture having fallen out with Van Gaal) yet they still managed to inflict Juve's worst home Champions League defeat.

Maccabi Haifa 0 - 1 Bordeaux

Bordeaux winning comfortably in Israel, sealing top spot and making it through undefeated. Great finish from Jussie to win it here, and they progress to the final 16.

Group B

Man United 13 CSKA Moscow 10 Wolfsburg 7 Besiktas 4

Wolfsburg 1 - 3 Man United

All the talk before this game was of United's defensive injuries however they won pretty handsomely here. A Michael Owen hat trick, rarer than an accurate Lee Naylor cross, was the highlight here. He contrived to miss 1 other excellent chance but a great performance from him, about time too... Also worth mentioning Patrice Evra was outstanding at the back for United. The always impress Edin Dzeko got Wolfsburg's equaliser but this wasn't enough to kick them on and get the win they needed. Barzagli and Misimovic both missed good chances in the first half as well, as the German champions settle for the Europa League.

Besiktas 1 - 2 CSKA

A good win on the road for the Muscovites (without Ignashevich and Alexei Berezutskiy, who were both banned for failing a drugs test after their game at Old Trafford, though on their recent form for club and country this is probably a blessing in disguise), as they sealed their progression to the last 16. A good goal from the increasingly impressive Milos Krasic was cancelled out by Bobo, but Aldonin struck late on to give them the win.

Group C R. Madrid 13 Milan 9 Marseille 7 Zurich 4

Marseille 1 - 3 Real Madrid

A win for Marseille would have seen them through but it wasn't to be the case. Cristiano Ronaldo got his 11th and 1th goals for Real, with Raul Albiol netting in between. Lucho Gonzalez had equalised for Marseille after Ronaldo's long range free-kick found the net (Mandanda should have done better), and Lucho also missed a penalty with the score at 2-1. Madrid progress top scorers with 15.

Zurich 1 - 1 AC Milan

Zurich were looking to build on their 1-0 victory in the San Siro, and took the lead with a great free kick from Milan Gajic (again though, questions could be asked of the keeper). Ronaldinho equalised from the penalty spot and Milan seal their place in the last 16.

Group D

Chelsea 14 Porto 12 Atletico Madrid 3 APOEL Nicosia 3

Chelsea 2 - 2 APOEL

APOEL knew a Europa League spot was up for grabs if they could shock the world and win at Stamford Bridge. They took the lead early on however Essien and Drogba soon gave Chelsea the lead. A mistake from Mikel Jon Obi let Mirosavljevic in to equalise but they couldn't find a winner.

Atletico Madrid 0 - 3 Porto

Another shambolic Atletico performance in Europe. Making progress in the league under Quique Sanchez Flores, they were facing an already qualified Porto side and should have been looking to win. Porto took an early lead and it got worse from there, Hulk's goal (Porto's third) was the pick of the bunch, a terrific strike. Atletico qualify for the Europa League only on the away goal they scored in Cyprus, and things can only get better for them.

Group E

Fiorentina 15 Lyon 13 Liverpool 7 Debrecen 0

Liverpool 1 - 2 Fiorentina

Liverpool were already consigned to the Europa League before this game however another home defeat piles on the misery for them. Aquilani impressed on his first start, and Benayoun gave them a half time lead. Martin Jorgensen levelled for Fiorentina after the break before Gilardino confined Liverpool to their second successive home defeat in Europe (a first for the club) after youngster Stephen Darby's error. A shambles in Europe this season for Liverpool, their only saving grace being that Debrecen were the 4th team in their group.

Lyon 4 - 0 Debrecen

The question was always going to be how many for Lyon. Aly Cissokho and Michel Bastos both scoring good goals, to add to Bafe Gomis and Miralem Pjanic's strikes. An impressive campaign for perennial last 16 (at least) campaigners Lyon, and Bordeaux, and to think there are some who don't believe French sides impress in this competition...

Group F

Barcelona 11 Inter 9 Rubin Kazan 6 Dynamo Kiev 5

Inter 2 - 0 Rubin Kazan

Inter hadn't won a home CL game since last year v Anorthosis Famagusta, but they needed a result against the Russian champions. Great play by Zanetti on the left set up Samuel Eto'o who powered it home. The much maligned Mario Balotelli sealed the points for Inter with a cracking free-kick. Inter were buoyed by the return of Wesley Sneijder, I may be wrong, but I don't think they have lost a game when he's played for them. Rubin missed a couple of good chances, Gokdeniz and Cesar Navas the culprits. A spirited showing in this group from Rubin - they defeated the holders in the Camp Nou, and drew with both Barca and Inter in Kazan (though they should probably have won both).

Dynamo Kiev 1 - 2 Barcelona

Artem Milevskiy gave Dynamo an early lead, with Valdes letting his header slip under him. Xavi brought it level before half time, and Messi's free-kick late on denied Kiev a Europa League spot. AT one stage in the evening Kiev were in the last 16, but ended up going out of Europe altogether...

Group G

Sevilla 13 Stuttgart 9 Unirea Urziceni 8 Rangers 2

Sevilla 1 - 0 Rangers

And so Rangers European campaign comes to an end, the worst ever showing in the Champions League by a Scottish team with only 2 points (and equalling their own record of failing to win a game). The defeat could have been heavier, as they simply couldn't get close to Sevilla in the first half. Papac and Bougherra cleared off the line, and Sevilla were also denied 2 pretty good penalty appeals in the first half. Diego Capel was in magnificent form, terrorising Whittaker down the left flank. Novo had a good chance to level in the second half, and Lee McCulloch forced a good save from Palop, however Rangers will just be glad that their European campaign is finished after a dreadful season.

Stuttgart 3 - 1 Unirea

Christian Gross' first game in charge of Stuttgart saw them qualify for the last 16 at the expense of the Romanian champions. 3 goals within the first 11 minutes saw to that. A draw for the Romanians would have ensured their passage through, but they couldn't keep up with the Germans blistering start (including a rare Pavel Pogrebnyak goal, almost as rare these days as a Michael Owen hat-trick). A shame for Unirea, who have had their moments in this group, however they will console themselves with the Europa League spot.

Group H

Arsenal 13 Olympiacos 10 Standard Liege 5 AZ Alkmaar 4

AKA The group no-one cares about.

Olympiacos 1 - 0 Arsenal Reserves/Under 19's

Arsenal were already assured top spot, and as such Arsene Wenger rested most of his key players. Olympiacos knew a point would send them through, and Leonardo went one better by grabbing them all 3 with a great run and finish. Arsenal had a couple of decent chances late on, though Carlos Vela faltered twice.The performances of Ramsey and Song in particular will please Arsenal fans ahead of Sunday's trip to Anfield.

Standard Liege 1 - 1 AZ Alkmaar

Standard Liege qualify for the last 16 at Alkmaar's expense, with goalkeeper Sinan Bolat scoring in the 95th minute to equalise, and ensure the Belgians will play in Europe after Christmas.

So there we have it: Bordeaux, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Cska Moscow, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Chelsea, Porto, Fiorentina, Lyon, Sevilla, Stuttgart, Arsenal, Olympiacos, Inter Milan and Barcelona are the last 16 teams in the Champions League. A mixed bag, Liverpool and Juventus the big shocks who went out, though neither deserve to be in the last 16. It is perhaps worth noting that 1st place doesn't really offer too much comfort - Lyon, Inter, AC Milan, and Bayern Munich all finished second, no team would savour being drawn against these sides.

jim murphy: secretary of state for scotland

Music For Pleasure // 13.12.09

Like we said in the previous news post we here at Debate is Free don't get out that much and Christmas is no exception.

But rest assured we have lots of Christmas goodies for you as we continue our broadcasts over the holiday season.

One of our interviews is with Jim Murphy, the Secretary of State for Scotland and her voice in the Cabinet at Westminster. Although devolution has meant many of the Scotland Office's powers were transferred to the Scottish Parliament the Secretary of State still has many responsibilities.

These include: welfare reform, child poverty, asylum and immigration and broadcasting as well as the economy, climate change and representing Scotland on a range of Westminster Committees.

However the main job of the Secretary of state is in his own words: "oiling the wheels of devolution" and ensuring that Scotland is heard at the highest levels of government.

Want to submit a question then email debate@subcity.org.

Ok, you were promised a feat of unsigned Glasgow bands, but once again, twas but a calculated ruse!!! Instead, you can hear tracks by bands playing Glasgow this week, both big and small, including the Phantom Band, Dillinger Four and Porcupine Tree. Also, Nick offered up some random selections including one to represent his concept of a "reggae xmas" this year, Tito and Tarantulas wonderful "After Dark" and some more than welcome Canned Heat.

As i said, we are actively working on our reboot, but meantime i will strive to compile a "best of" for next week, then get ready for an epic 2 hour show on xmas eve. Lovely.

CHAFINCH, ALBATROSS!! You'll have to listen to find out why i say that, and also to not hear the origin of the term POPPYCOCK!

The Funky Cuts // 09.12.09

Yeah, once again apologies for the absence of the popular radio show ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN (usually Thursdays 5-7pm), Pete is still recovering from his recent hang-gliding accident.

Thank you so much for all your kind messages, flowers, biscuits and the wall of assorted football strips that was errected.

But next week (the 17th December) will see our return, for a wonderfully festive ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN treat!

Expect minor festivities, wall-to-wall vomiting, unpleasant smells and a whole host of totally kick-ass rock n roll!

That's ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN: Thursday 17th December, 5-7pm

My collection of 12" singles has provided the inspiration for at least two other on air Sub City shows so I thought I'd bring a box of my own selection of funky disco jazzy tunes featuring Rose Royce, Wayne Henderson, Phyllis Hyman and Joe Bataan amogst others. Tune in Wednesdays at 19:00 for the live experience or Listen Again anytime.

vince cable shadow chancellor for the lib dems

To submit questions post them on the fan page or email debate@subcity.org.

Debate is Free won't be stopping over Christmas. Oh no we don't have social lives so instead we busy ourselves reading Private Eye and the Spectator rather than getting sloshed at the office party.

That also means however we can bring you an interview with Vince Cable, the Liberal Democrats Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer and the party's deputy leader. With the UK still stuck firmly in recession, graduates futures looking shaky and the world looking increasingly bleaker we take your questions to the man who saw it coming.

We will also be questioning Dr Cable on the uncertainty that arose after the parties annual conference regarding their policy to get rid of student tuition fees and the £1 million mansion tax that divided the Liberal Democrats back in September.

shut up and eat your best of year part 1

Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 10.12.09

Howdy! So this week and next week we will be doing our "best of year", playing and talking about the best bands Nick and I have seen at Pivo Pivo and elsewhere. I'd started out making a top 10 and ended up with a top 24, there really is so much quality out there, and even a commited gig goer and venue booker like myself can only see and hear a fraction of what's out there in Scotland. But i think the songs we intend playing are representative of the variety of genres that are out there, and the quality of Scottish music. This is part 1, next week we'll have part 2, then after our xmas break we'll be back with a "rebooted" format that will be more focused on local unsigned bands and live studio sets.

Now Shut up and Eat Your Music

groups e-h. the last eight places

Ghosts in the Machine // 15.12.09

1 Fiorentina 12

2 Lyon 10

3 Liverpool 7

4 Debrecen 0

This one's all sealed up and we all know how disappointing Liverpool have been this season. The fight is for top spot and Lyon could come from behind to steal it on the last night as they welcome Debrecen while Fiorentina are on the road to Anfield. La Viola could have eight players out and like United last night, it could be a struggle for three points. Lyon haven't been on sparkling form themselves, losing to Lille at the weekend means this one's hard to call.

1 Barcelona 8

2 Inter Milan 6

3 Rubin Kazan 6

4 Dynamo Kiev 5

All eyes will be on Group F tonight as all four sides can make it through to the knockout stages. Barca must be favourites having points on the board and facing Dynamo the side with least points. The stipulations involving this match are quite complicated. Looking at the table, a draw would appear to favour Inter and if it finishes 0-0 or 1-1 they would go through. However, any draw higher than 1-1 would ensure Rubin upset the odds. I hate to bring up facts from last year which carry little weight when considering recent form etc. but Inter haven't won at home in the CL for over a year, and coupled with losing to Juve this weekend maybe they'll find themselves dropping to the Europa League just like their Italian counterparts.

1 Sevilla 10

2 Unirea Urziceni 8

3 VfB Stuttgart 6

4 Rangers 2

Sevilla are in the driving seat tonight having already qualified. Nobody would've expected Unirea to have made quite as big a splash but Petrescu's men will need a draw away from home to seal up second place. Stuttgart will have the experience to win at home but they will miss Hitzlsperger and Kuzmanovic as well as a few others, and this could allow Unirea to edge this and what a great story it would be if they managed it.

1 Arsenal 13

2 Olympiakos 7

3 Standard Liege 4

4 AZ Alkmaar 3

Liege can still go through but they'll have to get a result and ensure Olympiakos do the same at the Emirates. Arsenal have comfortably got top spot and so could rest important players, so we can't rule Liege out just yet. The reverse fixture was a 1-1 draw and AZ will be close to full strength so I would give the Belgian side just a small chance of getting through, but a draw would at least achieve a Europa League place.

-Of the less fancied teams tonight, Unirea are the most likely to get a spot in the knockout rounds. Rubin Kazan have managed to put the cat among the pigeons in Group F but it could be a step to far, while Olympiakos could have an easier night than expected at the Emirates to knock Standard Liege out. With so many matches deciding places tonight I can tell it's going to be another cracker.

ghosts in the machine christmas special? cracking!

That's right it's that time of the year again when Ghosts in the Machine spread a little Christmas cheer... well... most of us anyway. Lets hope when Challenge Dave and Jaque de'Avison meet for the "Christmas Cracker Challenge" things don't turn too sour. So make sure you have your feet up, a warm glass of mulled wine (its early in the day but so be it), your radio turned up, and listen to some festive merriment coming in your ears.

love is not pop

Students for Scarves and Charm // 08.12.09

No particular theme for this weeks Students for Scarves and Charm but we bring you a mix of some of the best pop music around, mostly from the country that invented pop (well, brought us ABBA), Sweden.

Amidst the brilliant music, Bicola battles against some form of plague (again) and we discuss Sarah Harding's squalling, struggles with articulation, dandyism and Lady Gaga remaining amazing in the face of transphobic idiots from The Sunday Times.

You can see that infamous GMTV Girls Aloud performance in all its cringing glory here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_L3ZsR05bk and read Lyn Barber's odious Lady Gaga interview here: http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article6940885.ece.

champions league groups a-d. the story so far...

Every f**cking Thursday. Right up the arty.

Group A

1 Bordeaux 5 13

2 Juventus 5 8

3 Bayern Munich 5 7

4 Maccabi Haifa 5 0

It's rare that a French team should impress us so much in Europe but Bordeaux have done that, beating both Juve and Bayern they have earned the right to put their feet up and watch two European titans battle it out for second place. The Italians are favourites not through any amazing form but because Bayern are without key players Ribery, Klose and Toni. So if Juve can guard against the wide men they should be able to close this out and make it to the next round. Regardless, neither have hit good form in the domestic league this season so I believe they can't be written off in making a splash in the latter stages.

1 Man Utd 5 10

2 Wolfsburg 5 7

3 CSKA Moscow 5 7

4 Besiktas 5 4

Everyone knows United are missing a whole defence but they don't need to win to go through but to win the group. Avoiding the likes of Barca will be an aim of Fergie, but they can't be hamstrung by that as the sole aim. With the key Christmas period coming up more squad rotation wouldn't be a bad idea, and besides, Wolfsburg have to get a win. Moscow are in the driving seat and will take on a toothless Besiktas so I'm sure a lot of news will be communicated from stadium to stadium before we know who goes through with United.

1 Real Madrid 5 10

2 AC Milan 5 8

3 Marseille 5 7

4 FC Zurich 5 3

AC take on Zurich in the final gameweek and it won't be an easy task as the Swiss side nicked a one-nil win at the San Siro. Marseille can't be ruled out either. Real will be wary of the French who are adept at scoring plenty at home but were on the receiving end of a three-nil thumping at the Bernabeu, so this could be one of the most interesting matches tomorrow night. Real are in the driving seat and I think AC could nip through also, a shame for Marseille who really shook this group up.

1 Chelsea 5 13

2 FC Porto 5 9

3 Atletico Madrid 5 3

4 Apoel Nicosia 5 2

Chelsea's good form hasn't been limited to the Premier League and they've walked a challenging group. The biggest disappointment have been Athletico and thats not just been a European phenomenon, they have been the Liverpool of La Liga - reaching a high point of 13th this weekend. So the race is for the Europa League. Apoel have the unenviable task of taking on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and even with a second XI for the Blues I'd expect them to win. Athletico can make third their own and I think they can beat Porto.

-Arguably we will see only one major team not getting through due to Bordeaux having great results against Juve and Bayern. Many would have expected more from Athletico but they were an early casualty, while in Group C Marseille could have an outside chance of knocking another big side into the Europa League tomorrow night. We'll just have to watch and see...

a tribute to recordplayerz- interview w/ hushpuppy

Tarantism // 07.12.09

Two weeks in a row. Two Optimos in a row. Two moshpits in a row. What's happening?

Moshing aside, this week we have for you an exlusive mix performed by Nathan and Marco, Live in the Subcity studio. The theme of the night is the Art School Thursday's long running club night, R-P-Z (formerly RecordPlayerz).

Being a regular haunt for us, the midweek debauchery it brought with it was a shaping part of our musical taste and attitude towards night clubs as a whole. After the horrendously strenuous process of trying to select our Top 10 Art School tracks of all time, we've put them together into a mix to help all our friends remember the music and good times that ensured none of us made it into Uni on a Friday morning.

Also, we have an interview with Alan, aka Hushpuppy, co-founder of RecordPlayerz, which gives us a nice little insight into the club's background, its ethos and its future plans.

And don't forget to listen out for the competition this week, for a chance to win TWO FREE TICKETS TO SOULWAXMASS at the Braehead Arena on Dec 18th. The question is:

In the interview, how many people does Hushpuppy say would come to the Art School in its hey-day?

Send your answers to our Facebook page and the winner will be announced on next week's show!

eastborn from dropzone records in the studio

Music Always Comes First // 12.12.09

In the studio this week with Nity And Jay is Eastborn. Eastborn is the owner of dropzone records and also an artist at the same time. He has played gigs all over the world and perhaps this is what has made him who he is and gave him the views that he has. Eastborn likes a chat on politics and his views are what some people might class as extreme and others would class as normal. Its swings and roundabouts. He does charity work and youth projects in his own time and is also commited to his career as an artist.

Nity will be interviewing Eastborn and will look to clear up some long overdue questions and also be having a general chat about whats coming from dropzone in the new year.

Tune in and anyone that knows Eastborn and Nity and Jays straight to the point banter then they will know that the show is bound to be a good show to listen too on a late friday night.

"The streets are full of admirable craftsmen, but so few practical dreamers" reads the Man Ray quotation on the back of the new Rafael Anton Irisarri release, Daydreaming. This record will feature alongside others from Johann Johannsson, Anduin, and Akira Kosemura on this week's dream-like episode of Does Not Affect Play. So escape your quotidian regime, take a moment to dream, and immerse yourself in a wordless world of sound. CAUTION: may cause drowsiness.

good citizenship for beginners.....

She Said // 05.12.09

Once upon a time in Glasgow there were some really nice guys who got on quite well and decided to form a band. In this band there were guitars and drums and noisiness and shouting, quite a lot of shouting. It was decided this band would be called Citizens. Some observers described them as post-hardcore though She Said generally avoids such tempting labels.

Citizens have mounted a long-standing campaign to appear on She Said with letters, e-mails, endless drinks and offers of seemingly improbable sexual favours. Eventually our meagre resistance was worn down so today, ladies and gentleman of She Said land, we bring you the majesty that is Citizens.

This week Tap Ae The League discussed th eweek in football including Ireland's request to become the 33rd team in a 32 team world cup. Also, Pompy have again failed to pay their staff's wages and Scotland look for their new team manager, with abour 20 applicants so far.

A look back at the week in football results gave us many boring draws in the EPL, some exciting ties and Scotland gave us yet another twist in the title race. Coming up this week are pretty much the same, some boring, some good.

FInally we look ahead to today's world cup draw, where the groups will be decided. Is the seeding system fair, what will the group of death be, will North Korea face USA at any point and will England make it to the the final so Murphy can watch them get beat with a bunch of Australians in Brisbane.

Right, it's boiling in the studio. We at Let's Get Physical blame global warming and the western world's silly reliance on unnecessary consumerism. Okay so outside it is near enough Baltic but still, climate change and all that. We will be getting in amongst the issues and the science surrounding global warming. We don't want to turn out like Venus - check out http://www.subcity.org/shows/scifi/44372 at the "Space Merchants" play, Venus is terrible.

adam holmes acoustic session

Music Always Comes First // 05.12.09

Young musician Adam Holmes joins Nity and Jay in the studio this week. Last year Adam wasa finalist in the BBCS young musician of the year and although he did not win the competition, he started to gain a reputation for his effortless performances. Adam holmes is also a Producer and an Hiphop artist too. Many people from both scenes know of him very well. Adam will be performing a few tracks live in the studio and will also more than likely take part in a cypher with Nity gritz at the end of the show.

Make sure you tune in as this show promises to be very entertaining.

director of liberty, shami chakrabarti

Debate is Free // 06.12.09

In this week's show on Sunday Debate is Free interviews Shami Chakrabarti, director of the civil liberties group Liberty.

Liberty's motto is: Protecting civil liberties, promoting human rights. They campaign against torture, for equality, young peoples rights, privacy, free speech and for the protection of the Human Rights Act.

Back in December 2005, the BBC Radio 4's Today programme ran a poll of listeners to establish "who runs Britain". The programme placed Shami Chakrabarti on the shortlist of ten people who may run Britain.

Ms Chakrabarti was also named one of the most powerful people in the UK and just missed out on Channel 4's "Most Inspiring Political Figure" award in 2006.

Shami Chakrabarti also frequently wipes the floor with anyone foolhardy enough to disagree with her on the BBC's flagship poltical programme: Question Time.

creating and publishing in glasgow

News Empire // 29.11.09

This week sees News Empire focusing on a theme: creating and publishing. Writers struggling to tackle a novel in a month, a photographer documenting the party scene of Glasgow, and a nude calendar from GUSA are all featured on this week's show.

Headlines All of the breaking international, national and local news.

Read by Louise Pollock and Benzo Harris.

NaNoRiMo Now Everybody thinks they have a novel in them, but how many actually end up writing one? For those so inclined, the National Novel Writing Month sets would-be novelists the task (and gives them an opportunity) of writing an entire 50,000 word novel in the month of November. It's Katie Anderson's first NaNo, while Kirsty Logan is an old hand at the event- they both offer their take on the process and how it has shaped them as writers. Also, Professor Michael Schmidt from the English literature department at Glasgow University offers his thoughts on the event and it's place in the world of writing.

Reporting by Benzo Harris.

Photographing Glasgow Harrison Reid has been photographing parties in and around Glasgow for several years and is due to publish a book on the topic- eventually. He talks about what it's like to photograph in Glasgow and what the self-publishing odyssey is like for photographers.

Reporting by Benzo Harris.

GUSA Nude Members of Glasgow University Sports Association teams go buff for charity. Louise Pollock investigates.

this is pop?

Students for Scarves and Charm // 01.12.09

This week Students for Scarves and Charm is dedicated to that most maligned of decades: the 80's. It may be better remembered for its cultural detritus and moral bankruptcy rather than significant contributions to popular culture but we hope our mix of New Wave hits from the spikyness of XTC and Talking Heads to the proto-twee of Altered Images and The Cure will convince you that there was a world of joyously inventive pop beyond the synthetic pop sheen of Stock Aitken Waterman and that the 80's were a good time to be a teenager.

The topics of our deliriously sleep deprived (and ,this week, virus ridden) babbling include the evil genius of Malcolm McLaren, cow sound effects, Mairiclare's teenage Pipettes obsession and Bicola enlightens us about the racist undertones in Disney films.

Also, don't forget to check out this week's Unsigned Act, Rose Elinor Dougall at: http://www.myspace.com/roseelinordougallmusic.

All in all, another triumphant week from the show that some critics are calling "quite literally amazing"*.

Now we're off to watch Brat Pack films and sculpt our hair into amazing Flock of Seagullsesque structures.

Mairiclare and Bicola

Tarantism // 30.11.09

After a brief mosh to Sons & Daughters at the Subby, we decided that it was only natural that we dedicate this week's show to the legendary club night that is... Optimo (Espacio).

Optimo celebrates it's 12th Birthday, and we celebrate the eclecticism and quality of the music that DJs Twitch & Wilkes have played every Sunday since 1997. They love your ears!

Bottle Rocket // 03.12.09

last week's 'it-is-totally-time-for-christmas-music/it-is-so-not-time-for-christmas-music' quandry is over. the advent has begun, which means christmas music is a-ok! that said, the 25th is still a loooong time away, so i'll keep it to no more than one carefully selected song this week. otherwise yule only get annoyed (YULE! HARHARHAR)

you: "what else will i hear if i listen to the show on thursday? one christmas song does not a one hour radio show make!"

me: "very true. allow me to run through some other plans"

1. the skinny will have announced its top 10 albums of the year AND its top 10 scottish albums of the whole big fat decade by then so i'll play songs from both lists (including the number ones, but i aint telling you yet wot they is so don't even ask yeah?).

2. all tomorrow's parties will be almost close enough to touch with my mind-fingers, so i'll play associated acts like my bloody valentine, stephen malkmus and the mars volta.

3. some new stuff - vampire weekend alright sir/madam?

4. lotsa stuff from this week's live picks: like the gothenberg address, lightning dust and yeah yeah yeahs. AND THAT'S ONLY THE BEGINNING.

here we go again....

Synth // 29.11.09

Tonight is going to be messy. Having a show at 3am on a Sunday morning has it's advantages and disadvantages, on the one hand I get to continue the rave post-club, providing only the finest in after-party tunage, on the other I usually end up going out before which inevitably results in slurred words and nonsensical chat. And tonight is no exception, let's hope I can drag myself away from the Subcity Dark Party before 3am rolls by!

Presuming I do make it, tonight I have new music from Lindstrom, Yuksek and Glasgow's own Motorpsycho, a Blog Burner from Retro/Grade, a Classic Cut from Skream, a twenty minute mix of 'mid-tempo calmness', plus a run down of all the hottest parties going on in Glasgow & beyond next week...

Rest easy people in She Said land, normal business resumed tonight with a bang or should that be a noise as Derek and Allan combined energies and bodily fluids to bring you the Albini inspired loveliness that is Glasgow's Ex-Wives. More specifically, Alastair from the band inspired us with tales of metallic plectrums, occasional cross-dressing and outrageously underhand tactics at bar football in the 13th Note.

Oh aye, there were a few tunes as well.

this weeks show: copenhagen and digital rights

Debate is Free // 29.11.09

With the Copenhagen Climate conference just over a week away we talk to Darren Johnson, a senior figure within the Green party, who stood twice for Mayor of London and is now the Chair of the London Assembly. We ask; is Copenhagen just another talking shop? Do politicians find it too easy to agree to targets, and what about the controversy regarding climate change theorists trying to suppress other scientists research and doctoring the figures.

We then speak to Jim Killock, Executive Director of Open Rights Group, an organisation that campaigns for civil rights in the digital age. We ask him what the Digital Economy Bill means for you and the future of the internet in the UK.

the great noel coward debate

Initial Itch // 27.11.09

In which Rob and Steve set out to decide whether Noel Coward is any good, with the help of a man named Brett Myers, and end up making a show all about love stories. Charles Spencer recently wrote in the Telegraph that Mike Bartlett's new play, Cock, at the royal court, was "more like Noël Coward than Mark Ravenhill" and Brett is directing a production of Present Laughter next week at the G12 Studio with STaG, so we thought it would be a good question to ask.

Charles Spencer was too busy to come on the show, though.

We also have new music from Ben Dunn and a little bit from Rob and Steve favourites and Glasgow locals El Dog, who have released an amazing debut album since we last spoke to them. There's also a bit of poetry from W.H. Auden in there too.

Join us again next week when we defile even more classic writers of the english language by asking what's so good about Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath.

Journeys // 28.11.09

Hey folks,

I don't know if those of you based in the UK caught the BBC 4 documentary, 'Synth Britannia' the other week? I did - and guess what this week's show is all about?

Yes, it is a total rip off of... er... I mean fascinating companion piece to that very TV show.

Expect to hear a selection of predictably left-field synth classics, as well as some more chart friendly acts too. They are set to include the likes of Duran Duran, Joy Division, The Pet Shop Boys, Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, Gary Numan, OMD, Giorgio Moroder and more.

The Spotlight is on a band I had forgotten I liked until I watched 'Synth Britannia': Depeche Mode. As usual, it won't involve any rocket science. I'll just be playing a short selection of some of the songs from their first few albums what I really likes.

The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of monster snyth No. 1s (which are also a little bit No. 2):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EHpozHn-QA

1. The Human League - Don't You Want Me?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cCI_XDQWb0

2. Soft Cell - Tainted Love

To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

visits the us embassy

Tom and Lol's Teatime Treat

With the US still currently the worlds only superpower and one of the most influential countries on earth we at Debate is Free felt its time to give America her due and have a US politics special. So we decided to interview one of the US's most seasoned and experienced diplomats; Phillip Breeden. You can read some of his bio below

Philip Breeden joined the Foreign Service of the United States Information Agency in 1986. He served in Public Diplomacy positions in Ankara, Antananarivo, Istanbul, Washington, D.C., London, and Tunis before becoming the Consul General in Marseille in 2005. In September 2008, Mr. Breeden became the Press attaché at the U.S. Embassy in London. Mr. Breeden has been the recipient of numerous awards including a Superior Honor Award for his public diplomacy efforts in Tunisia, and the “Palmes Academique” for his work with high schools in France. He speaks French, Arabic and Turkish. He holds a B.A. in International Relations from Stanford University and a M.A.L.D. from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy

We hope to have a few more people on the US special so keep an eye out on the Subcity news, the blog or the facebook page.

Test Card // 25.11.09

Live sessions. We gots 'em.

Not the ones where Radio One has Insane Clown Posse doing a Gamelan version of Slayer's Reign In Blood, throws it on a cd next to The Blackout (we don't know either) covering Rihanna and Pixie Lott covering David Guetta and calls it eclectic... Seriously, those last two are real.

Test Card do sessions a little differently. Radio One gives you preened rockstars bullshitting about how the next number one has always been a huge influence of theirs. Test Card steals Rockstar from the SRC, breaks its head open and drinks its caffeinated insides... suagr-free and out of date.

On the run up to their first year anniversary, we got east-coast punks Joey Terrifying in to talk and play music... just like real bands do.

Next week: Insane Clown Posse doing Reign In Blood... Gamelan style.

possessed by black f***ing metal!

CHURCH TONIGHT, ASHES TOMORROW! To celebrate Nargaroth's 111th birthday (cause he formed way back in 1898 - man thats an obscure joke... :/) we decided to dim the lights, cover the crucifix and get some horrendous blackened metal down everyones throats.

So tune in for a show hotter than the smouldering ruins of Fantoft and colder than those unsilent storms in the north abyss that pissed Abbath off so much.

Don't mind the puns, the music will be good! We have new tunes from the likes of Dodsangel (Fenriz's band of the moment or so I hear) and Austere and newish tunes from Gris, Sombres Forets and Ornassi Pazazu. So far so obscure.

There may even be a couple of stone cold classics chucked on the christian architecture-bonfire too.

Neat.

Students for Scarves and Charm // 24.11.09

This week Students for Scarves and Charm brings you a mix of love songs from the classic to the quirky but never the cloying (we hope!).

Our unsigned act this week is the delightful Wisdom Tooth, who blends the simple twee pop and naive sweetness of vintage K Records bands with the lyrical astuteness and sophistication of Hello Saferide and Mirah. You can hear more from her at: www.myspace.com/okwisdomtooth. We're sure you'll be as besotted with her as we are after a few listens.

feature album: efterklang - performing parades

Temper Tendency // 25.11.09

Hello again,

Today is looking to be an absolute cracking episode and I'm very excited to play some of these tunes for you. The feature album of this week will be Danish band Efterklang's Performing Parades which is now out on the band's own label, Rumraket (also available through Leaf). As the name suggests, the album is a live performance of their excellent album 'Parades' accompanied by the Danish National Chamber Orchestra.

I was lucky enough to see Efterklang play at Oran Mor late last month and I can safely say it was one of the best gigs I've ever seen, so this episode is not to be missed. Amongst Efterklang listen out for some other sublime and soothing aural treats.

new show time

Bottle Rocket // 26.11.09

Our show is moving to 5PM on Tuesdays. Hopefully this'll mean Dave and Emilia can make it along more regularly. Sadly as a result of the extra people talking this will entail less airtime for my mellifluous voice.

back back back! (br nov wrap-up)

so bottle rocket's one week absence from the airwaves became two. which was awfully unfortunate. but let's put it behind us, cos there's a top show on the horizon, oh yes.

there'll be some post-club night related blethers and tunes (thanks to anyone who came along to nice n sleazys on saturday night by the way). there'll also be a catch up on some recent gigs as well as the usual look at the week's forthcoming attractions. and my excitement for all tomorrow's parties is now approaching record levels, so i'll be staring the build up to that little delight as well.

translation: expect new yeasayer, the melvins, mission of burma and asobi seksu amongst other things.

the count & sinden

Subcity Presents... // 21.11.09

As you lot probably already know, The Count and Sinden headlined Death Disco in The Arches on Saturday night. If you didn't manage to get a ticket, or are just such a die-hard fan that you'd jump at the chance to hear them again, you won't believe what we've got in store for you.

The duo agreed to come into Subcity to start the party early with a pre-club warm up on Saturday evening live on air. We invited some of you lot to come up and chill in the Green Room while they're on air, and turned the place into a packed-out sweatbox for the show --it was a legendary night which will definitely be going down in Subcity history.

Have a look at Subcity's flickr page for some photos of those idiots who made it down.

This week an intriguing subplot has emerged...what exactly is the intention of the narcotic ninjas of the breakfast variety??They have been treated with kindness and love, but are the breakfast ninjas embroiled in an evil plot involving tea and sausage rolls?That remains to be seen, but it is certainly a necessity to watch this space...hopefully on our brand spanking new webcam...

the mixtape strikes back

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 23.11.09

This week, it's our second extremely early rise after a night (well, 25 minutes) of Wavves. We're getting into the swing of things now. This show we focus more on instrumental stuff from post-rock/ post-rock related artists (Mogwai, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Fuck Buttons) but also play some experimental hip-hop from the man in the metal mask and the hip-hop artist most white people stereotypically listen to. A couple of our favourite tracks of the year are also thrown into the mix- it's all in an early morning's work.

We interview Graeme Downie of NESTA Scotland to ask how the videogame industry is coping right now in the recession, James Green a gamer who felt compelled to join the group Gamer's Voice set up by maverick MP Tom Watson. Then we were joined by Kirsty and Chris of News Empire fame to debate the current issues affecting videogames and the Digital Economy Bill that was laid out this week in the Queens Speech.

goys, teen angst and prophets

Screen Shrapnel

Once again the Shrapnel goys schlep their dybbuk like golems to the subcity sudio to offer up their weekly cinematic kibitz. Expect glitches, schlock and meshuga from your three favourite schmucks.

The Coen brothers are back, and this time they’re serious…well, kind of. A Serious Man sees the Coens continue their great run of form, following the masterful No Country and the under rated Burn After Reading, with their most personal film to date, a Job-like tale of suffering set in 60s Minnesota. Also suffering is Shrapnel’s chief putz, Graham. This week he has bravely endured nauseating dialogue, body issues and the deafening screams of Rpat worshiping tweens to bring you coverage of the event that is Twilight: New Moon. From the ridiculous to the sublime, we discuss Jacques Audiard’s Au Prophet, one of the highlights from a programme of French films showing at the GFT this month.

Plus, we reach the half way point of our hugely popular countdown to the greatest films of the decade. Catwomen, anyone?

These are the piercing sound fragments of Screen Shrapnel, prepare to be underwhelmed.

Screen Shrapnel are also available for Bar Mitzvahs

Journeys // 21.11.09

Hey there folks,

This week's show is back at the old regular time of 12-2 PM.

I'll be playing a selection of tunes without (many) lyrics; starting out with some 1950s and 1960s 'novelty' classics and then concentrating on the more funky, soulful side of things. Expect to hear from the likes of The Shadows, Lord Rockingham's XI, The Dave Pike Set, The Buena Vistas, The Above Average Black Band, Peter King, The Meters, Ennio Morricone and loads more.

The Spotlight is, for no particular reason, on French 'Library' funk this week. Library (or Production) Music is the name given to the music owned by production music libraries and licensed to customers for use in film, television, radio and other media. Although this definition includes music of all imagineable genres, the name has been taken up by music-heads to refer to a style of 1960s/70s, 'soundtracky' instrumental music, produced by a legion of relatively anonymous, but none-the-less massively talented session musicians and writers. I'll be playing a few tracks in that general style that I reckon are great. And that are from France.

The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of tracks called, 'Words'. (Am I a genius or what?)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IasCZL072fQ

1. Missing Persons - Words

Lady Gaga's mom? Or just a severely wacky 80s pop combo?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaEWlYHrF6w

2. Doves - Words

In my opinion, a classic. But it ain't up to me is it...?

keith vaz: games should have health warnings

Debate is Free // 15.11.09

Debate is Free is on the cutting edge as you all know, and this week was no different. In light of the controversy at the release of the new game Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 last week, we brought you two exclusive interviews. We spoke to MP Keith Vaz a long time opponent of violent videogames and CEO Dr Richard Wilson of the UK game industry body TIGA. We asked Keith shouldn't the parents be responsible? And we put it to Dr Wilson do videogames have to blame themselves for their image problem?

Vaz had this to offer: If you look to the packaging of an 18-rated videogame, it's [the size of] a tiny 10p coin. What it should be is the same as cigarettes - it should be splashed across the front: 'This has the potential to damage your health' - and that is not happening."

And Dr Wilson called for the government to act to save the videogame industry in the UK before its too late.

Start up the debate here on the shows blog or email debate@subcity.org

bibio - the apple and the tooth

Temper Tendency // 18.11.09

Hello there!

Today we're featuring one of Warp Records latest releases, Bibio's 'The Apple and the Tooth'. This is the third for Bibio for 2009 and is mainly consisted of outtakes and remixes from his 'Ambivalence Avenue' LP - also released on Warp.

Anyway, it's an awesome album, combining atmosphere with excellent hip hoppy style beats in a seriously uplifting (and/or melancholy depending on your mood). Definitely a show to check out.

broken britain, corrupted youths and haunted souls

Screen Shrapnel // 14.11.09

Cinema got dark this week. First up, Harry Brown, a Tory-blue tinted vision of 21st century London, where nihilistic teens terrorise residents of a dilapidated council estate. Only Old Testament-style fire and brimstone can cleanse this modern day Sodom and Gomorrah, apparently; step up Michael Caine as the titular gun-tooting pensioner to blow the hoodies’ bloody heads off. Similar neighborhood disturbances abound in a monochrome turn-of-the-19th century Germany in Palme d’Or winning The White Ribbon. But this is a Michael Haneke film; there are no easy answers to be found in this director’s twisted cinematic worlds. There are, however, in Cold Soul, a Kaufman-lite universe where damaged souls are removed as easily as genital warts and traded like Panini stickers. (We didn’t even get a chance to see Armageddon in world demolition expert Roland Emmerich’s 2012)

Who better to lead you through this cradle of filth than three men who make Larry David look like Claudia Winkleman: Nicholas Green, Jamie Dunn, and a very tired, very grumpy, (and very late) Graham Fulton. Individually they are cinephilic curmudgeons. But together they are the golden triumvirate that is, Screen Shrapnel.

Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed.

henry rollins interview

The Crasier Frane Show

Yeah, you read right. Here's what he has to say about punk rock in the modern world and just why Black Flag were so special:

I think those days were different than what's happening now as things were a bit more uncharted. There were a lot of rough areas out there where now things are an eight lane highway by comparison. I think Black Flag had at least one ingredient they only made one of and that's Greg Ginn, that's the big deal with that band.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 16.11.09

This week, our first episode. We get up early enough to make it into the Subcity studio which is always a plus. Hopefully we'll be eating breakfast before the breakfast show even starts in the coming weeks too...

We provide a description of our intentions as a show, play a range of tracks from diverse artists, and give the low-down on our features... It's been fun, and a bit overwhelming. We're still learning, people!

Initial Itch // 13.11.09

Alas, intrepid co-presenter and flatrate overlord Steve has been struck down with appendicitus and has retreated to the hospital, so this week Rob just messes about with the studio alone and plays a bunch of songs and things he likes that kind of go together. Enjoy.

Since it's friday the 13th, we also have a spooky short story by Edgar Allen Poe, The Tell Tale Heart, read by Michael J. O'Neill

Join us next week when we resume normal service, with poems, songs and an interview (minus one appendix).

the future

Live From Las Vegas // 13.11.09

Have you ever wondered what your future holds for you? Well, WONDER NO LONGER! Presented here for the first time ever are the foretellings of that revered prophet, radio funster Allan P. Jossstone:

'When the changing of the calendar,

Ushers in a new decade,

And the year 2010 is upon us,

The great hog Brown shall lose his glass eye,

And a pillow-faced Etonian called David Cameron,

Shall have some success at the ballot box,

Although I'll be voting for one of those joke parties,

Because I have no respect for the democratic process.'

'When the number twenty,

Is put before the number ten,

And the ceremony of innocence is drown-ed,

Some other events will happen in the world,

Bringing forth the great wrath of the Mock the Week team,

Particularly Frankie Boyle,

Who will probably be releasing a new DVD,

In time for next Christmas.'

'Whatever you have to add together,

To get the number that is next year,

By which I mean, the number 2010,

But I don't mean the number, I mean the year,

A great cloud of rain shall pass over Glasgow,

And drizzle on the heads,

Of whoever is out walking that day,

Unless they carry umbrellas.'

'You know how, right, next year is 2010,

Right?

Well a lot of people,

Might think it's still 2009,

If they don't buy a new calendar,

That reminds me of a funny story, actually,

Well, it's not so much funny,

As painfully embarrassing (I accidentally had sex with my brother).'

first show

Fear of Music // 13.11.09

So I've done the first show, and after an obscene amount of fighting with the equipment I think I might have just about got the hang of it. Hopefully next week's show will be more of the same, but with less fannying about with faders and mixers and everything else, and possibly a co-host. We shall see.

She Said // 07.11.09

Well it's true the tunes are amazing every week but tonight was no exception. She Said bring you the droney sound of Moon Duo for the first time, some gently melodic noise from the current album by Health, some classic punk rock by the Clash and some chaotic loveliness from Helmet and the Melvins. Oh aye, and despite yer worst fears, a truly memorable example of children singing beautifully courtesy of Yo La Tengo.

show ii - packed with rhythm, soul & exclusive

Mapping Terra Incognita // 12.11.09

With the body clock slowly but surely realising that Wednesday evening requires a later shut down than usual, show II was slightly less delerious and slightly more organised.

Starring subcity exclusives of the new Four Tet track (and news of his up and coming 1st album in 5 years) as well as the Subcity exclusive of the new Joy Orbison. Does it get any better?

Well apparently so.....with a supporting cast including the likes of Jahbitat, Jam Da Silva, K'naan, Floating Points, Calibre & Chapelier Fou; Travelling from Paris to Venezuela, down to Brazil, across to Senegal, up to Belfast and beyond.... Mapping Terra Incognita provides all you need to know about the current global sound. Tune in and turn it up. Feel the pulse of Mapping Terra Incognita.

news bomb: you gotta shoot 'em in the head!

Get Back To 8-bit // 12.11.09

Thanks to Kerry who made an appearance on the show and for reminding me how much of a super dork I am. Here are the news links for the episode of Get Back To 8-bit on 12/11/09:

I'll bet this is what your mum wanted to play after your dad took her to see Logan's Run and she got all horned up seeing Michael York in a silk shirt. The 70s were weird, dude:

http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=44874

SPECIAL DOUBLE 1970s GAME TRAVESTY BONUS: Did anyone at Mego seriously not get what was being said in this commercial? The whole premise is just like one enormous wink at the audience:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW8LPgv4NK0

Contrary to what Kerry may have originally thought, the US army does not condone Panda murder. They do however create robot planes that feel ennui from the daily grind of human grinding:

http://www.popsci.com/military-aviation-amp-space/article/2009-09/when-drones-go-wild-air-force-shoots-them-down?page=

That's weird because sometimes I feel like my clock is judging me and my toaster is a speaking in tongues:

http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/11/coffee-table-suit/

Do regular Japanese vending machines only operate on the condition that you battle a tentacle monster violating some nubile co-ed before you can eat your bag of dried squid eyes? What other nation of Earth would so deviously place a challenge between yourself and cake-laden euphoria?

However, we do have some exclusive tracks to play from Kelpe. He's got an album out at the moment called Cambio Wechsel and he has sent some exclusive live tracks to us. Catch some this week and I will play some more later in the year. His album is out now on DC Recordings.

There'll be some other tunes as well. I have a couple of 80s Edits to play and other stuff too. Not 100% sure what Sally will be playing, but expect it to be rough and tough.

Get Back To 8-bit // 12.11.09

Hey there my bit-heads! On this week's show, inappropriate gaming, suicidal military automatons, coffee tables watching your dull-ass lifestyle and the Japanese making you fight for your right to dessert. All this news and a playlist comprising part two of Get Back To 8-bit's fortnight of chipbeat and videogame music. Joining me in the studio will be young Kerry, who knows nothing of the geek lifestyle and is in attendance as a control to gauge just how worthless this information I spew at you week after week is to those in the real world. I do believe Lizanne, Allan and Jamie are hard at work on completing Ep. One of StoneDEAD, hence their absence from this week's episode which they seemed to be taking up comfortable residence within, but fear not listener as I doubt we've seen the last of them by far.

Press Start to begin play!

born to runner-up

This week: the first of four year-/decade-ending specials cements 2009's growing reputation as a cracking year for music by looking at some of the albums that didn't make it into the LOTD top ten of the year (to be announced next week), and discovering that they still contain terrific work by The Phantom Band, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, We Were Promised Jetpacks, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, God Help The Girl and De Rosa.

As for the other three year/decade-ending specials, the plan is:

November 21st: Top Ten albums of 2009

November 28th: Top Ten albums of the 2000s

December 5th: Post-match analysis of the decade's music and movies with any willing parties (anyone who wants to get on board with that, get in touch)

And finish up for the year on December 12th with a Christmas special. Stay tuned, an' that.

flowers of scotland - sat 14th nov 2009 - 1-2 pm

Journeys // 14.11.09

Hey folks,

After a brief hiatus, Journeys returns to continue the 2009/10 season - at the all-new show time of 1-2 PM.

This week's show is a celebration of the greatest little nation on Earth, Scotland!

I'll be playing a wee selection of tunes from the likes of Alex Harvey, Marmalade, Orange Juice, Stealer's Wheel, The Poets and however many more I can squeeze in to one hour.

The Spotlight this week is on one of my favourite bands of all time; The Beta Band. In an all too short career, the Beta Band released just 3 seminal EPs and 3 full-length albums (as well as a handful of singles). I'll be playing a small selection of tracks by them that I like a lot.

The Weird But Wonderful vote is between what must be a couple of the best known Scottish pop songs ever:

http://www.myvideo.at/watch/1145137

1. The Bluebells - Young At Heart

Originally written for and recorded by Bananarama, this much amended version was twice a hit for The Bluebells; first in 1984 and then again in 1993 (when it was No. 1 for 4 weeks), after featuring in a Volkswagen ad. The latter success inspiring violinist Bobby Valentino (the session violinist on the track) to sue for joint authorship.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM0sTNtWDiI&feature=fvst

2. The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)

A song that must have formed the finale to a million drunken nights around the world, and which has also charted twice. First on original release in 1988 and again, when an alternative version featuring Peter Kay (as Brian Potter) and Matt Lucas (as Andy Pipkin) was released for Comic Relief, in 2007 (it was No.1 for 3 weeks - although I'm not sure anyone pays much attention to the charts anymore?). I am going to see them live on Friday the 13th.

To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

jamie hillis on cooperative behaviour in humans

Headlights // 11.11.09

This Wednesday Jamie Hillis of Glasgow University's psychology department will be in the studio with me.

I will speak to him about evolutionary approaches towards explaining co-operation in humans. Thus it has been suggested that we owe much of our altruistic and co-operative behaviour to humans' warmongering past. Tune in for details!

Unfortunately Indra is in Latvia at the moment, so she will not be attending this show. But Jamie will be live in the studio and you can send in any questions during the show.

Headlights, every Wednesday 10-11am, or whenever you want on subcity.org

a box of 200 45s and he picks a scratched record

The Funky Cuts // 04.11.09

I'm still carting around the records I picked out to play at a gig a few weeks ago. I taped the gig but have still to edit it. But I thought there were some good enough tunes to make up a couple of shows. So this one I flipped a few of the 45s and played the B sides. I don't think I've played the B side of Can i get a Witness for years and after to listening to it it'll be some time and a new needle before I play it again. However the quality osf soul contained within the grooves of most of the records I played in this episode speak or sing for themselves. You can Judge for yourselves by listening.

heartbreak (dj set) @ rpz - 12th nov

Pop Goes The Revolution // 06.11.09

Thurs 12th Nov - Italodisco heroes HEARTBREAK hit the RPZ for a zuper-hott dj set.

Purveyors of a very particular brand of, shall we say, 'tres emotional' 80's euro pop, Heartbreak have become the leading live performers in the worldwide Italo-disco renaissance. From relatively humble beginnings in London, their sound and tales of their melodramatic live shows, have drawn the attention of the like of The Presets, Neon Neon, Block Party and La Roux.

Now finding success across the globe through tours with The Presets and Cut Copy, Heartbreak are now joining the Modular Records stable of talen. Consequently they make a perfect choice for RPZ guests, as for many years we have both championed the now sound Wizards of Oz - Presets, Midnight Juggernauts, Bang Gang DJs - as well as having made 80's digital pop and italo part of our sound from the clubs beginings over 8 years ago.

RPZ are super excited to welcome Hearbreak's keyboard wizard Ali Renault for this very special set - guaranteed free of the usual big-room fidget/bassline promo MP3's that clog every guest dj playlist of the moment. Instead Ali promises a dazzling mix of electro, italo pop, seminal house and throbbing euro disco.

myspace.com/heartbreak1 www.lexrecords.com

RPZ - making laser beams in your dreams. Every Week, right up the arty!

The Vic Bar, Glasgow School of Art 168 Renfrew Street Art students £1. Others £3/£4* (*inc entry to Mixed Bizness) 11pm till 3am.

The Breakfast Show // 09.11.09

Good morning to all our dedicated listeners and to all those Monday morning first-timers...where on earth have you been?!?!

Mel and Nicki B have brought the Breakfast Show to new heights and have some lovely, brand-spanking and shiny new producers to boot! Either we're doing something right or we're being reigned in...tis Monday morning carnage at its best with our usual spectacular features: Guess The Year, 80s vs. 90s with an alternative twist, and Nicki's Quiz to pit Callum and Heather, and occasionally Callum's dad from afar, against one another. It remains to be seen whether Mel will remember to adorn Callum's dad with the prized banana and whether Nicki will allow this to happen...

...evidently both will be embroiled in the Brown vs. Tomato Sauce debate while churning out some majorly good tunes in between!

tarantism 2

Tarantism // 09.11.09

Nathan's back in action this week. He's returned from London in one piece, and will be joining Marco in the show. This week's show will be plucking us straight out of Optimo at the SubClub, so be prepared for some weird music, and even weirder chat.

Since this is our first show together, we thought it'd be a good idea to go back to our roots, and play the music that first got us interested in the wide variety of electronic music that now makes up the vast majority of our collection.

exam stress remedy!

Temper Tendency // 11.11.09

So, for Glasgow Uni students, exam timetables are out, and we're beginning to feel the pressure. The weather is changing, it's getting cold. So what better way to shrug off that exam stress and warm up than listen to the soothing sounds of this week's feature album, Air's 'Love 2'.

This is an amazing album of which I'll be playing three songs off amongst other pretty gems that will, at least for the hour of tempertendency, help you forget the troubles and the cold.

the men who stare at fox

Screen Shrapnel // 07.11.09

How the years fly by. It seems like only yesterday that a nineteen-year-old Jamie was bringing in the millennium in Georges Square and a fourteen-year-old, shell suit clad Graham was down the park quaffing cheap cider and terrorizing old-folk, but ten years later providence has brought these cineastes together to reveal their favourite films of the decade, beginning with the finest efforts from 2000 and 2001. The Oscar indorsed movies of these years were, respectively, overblown sword-and-sandals romp Gladiator (Ridly “not-made-a-great-film-since-Blade-Runner” Scott) and asinine sucrose-slop A Beautiful Mind (Ron “not-made-a-decent-film-since-Parenthood” Howard). But, as all film fans know, the Academy Awards are sycophantic horseshit; here at Screen Shrapnel is where the real film discoveries are.

Also on this week’s show: the Shrapnel boys discuss the vulpine charms of Megan Fox in Diablo Cody’s sophomore writing effort, Jennifer’s Body; we debate the virtues of the Nick Hornby scripted An Education; and we lament the travesty that is Ewan McGregor’s attempt at an American accent in The Men Who Stare at Goats.

Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed

To be honest though shes hotter as a zombie so it may be all good! oh god there goers the door....

politics

Live From Las Vegas // 06.11.09

My alarm clock pierces through the crack in my dream and lets the dim light of day pour in, and almost instantly I'm immersed in it. I find my limbs and leave my bed and quickly forget the small world of freedom I live in during the dark hours of night. Slowly moving by body out of arbitrary towards and into the bathroom I find myself confronted with my reflection.

A pale and gaunt face stares back at me with what seems to be contempt in his eyes. This is me. This is me with my glutinous nose, snake lipped mouth and dark pitted eyes where all love fell out of me a thousand tears ago. Every misshapen feature, every line and every blemish is there as a marker on my face. Each one only occurred after my life distorted me into this figure. Now my face acts as a constant reminder to me of a villainous life I'd rather forget.

The face never breaks it's damning gaze. I stare deep back at him for fear of backing down and I think 'is this me?'. How could it be? What I was looking at was just light being reflected off the glass. How could this be me? How could this trick of the light, this optical illusion be me? I feel don't I, or at least I think I do. I have thoughts and opinions inside me that no one could ever know or understand. This bloated blob of self deprecating flesh I carry around can't just be me. I dream don't I?

But then I realise I can't remember what I dreamt, nor any dreams before that. I get dressed. I go to work. Whats my business? - POLITICS.

shut up and eat your prog

Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 05.11.09

Ok, so i've negelected my show news a little. It happens. What didn't happen was our proposed radio play last week, what can I say, we're overly ambitious sometimes.

This week we had Shut Up and Eat Your Prog. Surprisingly, none of the songs we're over half an hour in length, though we certainly didn't manage to play as many as usual. Nor were we drunk this week. I wonder if you can tell the difference.

So there's some Jethro Tull on there, some Rush, Pink Floyd, The Who, and best of all, Stonehenge by Spinal Tap, which frankly is the best song of the bunch by miles!!!

So listen, enjoy, and prepare for some surprises in coming weeks as we're not going to be constrained by the theme of Thursday gigs at Pivo Pivo due to changes to bookings.

black vs. white

Roots, Rock, Reggae // 09.11.09

This week, I will be highlighting songs by black artists that were covered by white singers; covers by Pat Boone and by the Crew Cuts in particular. While black artists often saw their songs (often referred to as 'race music') climb up the R&B charts, they struggled to reach the mainstream audience because of a reluctancy to accept black artists. Consequently, records by artists such as The Chords and Little Richard were often outsold by (some say inferior; the debate is ongoing) cover versions. Tune in as I play all original tracks. Not a cover version in sight!

keep yourself warm

This week: in a bid to combat the realisation that Halloween and Bonfire Night are over and there's still eight weeks of sucky weather till Christmas, LOTD proffers a selection of feel-good material. None of yer tooth-rotting Hallmark-sentiment pish, though - instead, a schizophrenic back'n'forth between material bound to get even the whitest of white boys up and bouncin' from Jay-Z and Ol' Dirty Bastard, and songs that understand how sometimes the best consolation comes from just knowing that other people are somehow surviving too; songs like those found on this week's #1 Record, Richard and Linda Thompson's "I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight". Bridging the gap between the two is the Sufjan Stevens/Gift Of Gab mash-up the world's been waiting for. For real.

Tonight's show is going to be a treat... Andrew survived the wedding in England and has so far had this week off work, expect him to be energised. I'm in the process of moving house and am exhausted, expect mumbling. It's a wild juxtaposition of moods which can either provide a streamlined performance as we compliment each other and glide along in harmony, or turn into a car crash of bickering like an old married couple on a coach tour. Which will it be?? PLACE YOUR BETS NOW!

Plenty of massive tunes however to get your ears around from Darkstar, MF Doom, Gaslamp Killer, Quantic & His Combo Barbarro, Tony Allen, Paul Kalkbrenner and Floating Points.

Have a listen and get involved. Mapping Terra Incognita is THE eclectic, up-front insight into the global sound.

Attention bit-heads,

In the aftermath of the great ASCII Apocalypse, Get Back To 8-bit is taking up the torch and doing what the title suggests by going fully retro with a two-week session of 8-bit chipbeat and videogame themes. This week will be the chipbeat, with some added chat by up to three extra players who are coming back into the studio to make amends to me for their sexist dances featured last week. Don't miss out, be sure to listen in tomorrow or download the show later. Wrong milk-fed mouthbreathers might refer to this event as "Large", we prefer to say that it is "stuffed with RAM".

self-employed graduates // hectic halloween

News Empire // 01.11.09

This week the News Empire team takes a look at life after graduation for two self-employed Glasgow Uni alums and the scenes from a busy City Centre costume shop on the day before Halloween.

Headlines All of the breaking international, national and local news.

Read by Louise Pollock and Benzo Harris.

Self-Employed Graduates Stuart and Jon are both Glasgow Uni graduates who have bucked the trend of finding employment with a company, opting to start their own business instead. Stuart, a photographer, and Jon, a custom stereo appliance craftsman, talk about the benefits of a degree as well as the stresses and rewards of being self-employed.

Reporting by Benzo Harris.

A Hectic Halloween The setting: Sauchiehall Street. The scene: a costume shop packed to the gills. The time? The day before Halloween! Emotions range from confidence to desperation and bewilderment to bemusement as the store sells out each day by four and there is a one in one out policy at the door.

Reporting by Alison Burns and Benzo Harris.

schedule change!

Dance Tonight, Revolution Tomorrow! // 04.11.09

Hello all,

Our slot has now moved to Midnight on Tuesdays, to those who are interested in tuning in live. Other changes afoot come in the form of a strict hour slot, which means we'll probably have to shut up a bit or economise with a policy of shorter tracks, I don't know.In fact I sometimes know so little about what we're doing I don't even turn up to the radio show.

I have however been gracefully informed that this weeks theme is one for the ladies, birds, wastegash etc etc. Bands preferably with female vocals but I reckon a couple with girl members of another category might sneak in, either way sounds like a great excuse to blast in some more Broken Oath to me, that I can promise you. And I am reliable.

Anyway aye, listen in for more of the same excellent fare we have come to be known for + Birds.

Best Regards,

not one for the faint hearted

Screen Shrapnel // 31.10.09

So the grand Halloween special initially planned did not come to fruition. Why? Well a late night Halloween party the night/morning before put paid to the guests we had planned. Luckily (perhaps not) your 3 favourite reviewers ignored their bodies initial reaction to too much drink and too little sleep, and in true zombie style shuffled their way wearily into the famous Subcity studio.

And what a show it was.......with initial plans out of the window due to the lack of guests; the current cinema releases took a back seat and the show took on a more shall we say, fluid structure than usual. We discussed the re-issue of An American Werewolf in London, touched on Rob Zombie's latest: Halloween II, and Nick and Jamie clashed yet again over low-budget French horror film The Inside.

Plus, Nick and Jamie went head to head on the scaled down Halloween quiz, Jamie decided to enlighten us with his sordid stories from the night before, and there were strange noises a plenty as Graham got a little carried away with the sound effects he obtained especially for the show.

It's another fun-filled edition of Subcity's #1 film show. Have a listen, you'll only be slightly disappointed.

*As we were slightly late, when you listen again, fast forward to 13 minutes in for the show to start*

back from the dead

The Co-operative // 01.11.09

On the Seventh Day, the Co-operative was reborn...

Yes, we have relocated to Sunday mornings. This propitious day heralds the return of your favourite host Sean, stealing through a curtain of fog and questionable taste. Those who conjectured that his unexplained absence told of tragedy, languor or foul play can now be assured that, on this tranquil morning after Halloween, he is fully restored. Imogen, unfortunately, failed to reincarnate.

From now until Christmas we offer you a cornucopia of musical delights. Al ushers in November with a suspiciously French mix, and, oh! what joys will reward the loyal listener in the weeks to come. We hope finally to launch our numbers playlist and, for those who manage to cling on as we hurl headlong into winter, a Yuletide spectacular is being tailored, trimmed and fine-tuned...

Music For Pleasure // 01.11.09

That's right mfp's been nudged back in the schedules, but don't fret this doesn't mean a drop in standards.

on a break...

Journeys

Hey folks,

Sorry for not letting you know in advance, but there was no show this week and there will be none next week either.

This is due to a shake up at Subcity that has seen a whole load of new shows get added (hurray!) and my Saturday 12-2 slot disappear (boo!).

I am currently locked in a series of sensitive, high-level negotiations with the Subcity controllers and hope to return on Saturday the 14th November 1-2 PM...

I'll let you know! :)

In the meantime, you can be listening to any Journeys that you may have unaccountably missed:

This week on 'Challenge Dave', Luke Healey, contemporary artist, has challeneged Dave, contemporary artist, to an art-based challenge in no way contemporary.

That's right, this week the Hosts in the machine will be reprising long-gone daytime show Watercolour Challenge. Healey has waxed soluble about Dave's inability to 'keep within the lines.'

Dave will be given only ten minutes to paint, by numbers, in watercolour, a classic bowl of fruit, without straying outside of the lines.

Can he do it? He says so.

our tuesday slot

Ghosts in the Machine

Contrary to our announcement on last week's show, it appears Ghosts in the Machine will, for the time being, remain at it's 11:00-12:00 slot on Tuesdays.

turns out it's man

Left Of The Dial // 31.10.09

This week: a change of time from 10am to 9am only means a head start on the day's misanthropy, as the inevitable concession to Halloween turns its gaze inward to decidedly more tangible malevolence than shirtless werewolves and sparkly vampires.

Expect stories of murder and mayhem from Nina Simone and Sons And Daughters; twitchy paranoia from Dr. Dre and Love; the co-mingling of sex and death from seemingly everyone; and the reduction of the body to nothing but a bag of bones in this week's #1 Record, Tom Waits' classic "Bone Machine".

As an added bonus, due to circumstances beyond his control, Chris may be hosting this week whilst dressed as Shaun. As in, "of the Dead". So, y'know, there's that.

Rock n Roll Meltdown // 29.10.09

This week ROCK N ROLL MELTDOWN has an amazingly satanic and disturbing mix of macabre rock n'roll, features and chat - this Thursday 5-7pm.

Purely by coincidence, it is also Haloween this week - but that doesn't nessesarily mean that we'll be churning out the usual unoriginal seasonal favourites, hell no....... well maybe a couple...

Maybe you think you can handle this cornucopia of the mad & macabre?

Well then, why not request an evil tune or send a ghostly message to us at studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' with some more words to '07766 40 41 42'?

Roots, Rock, Reggae // 02.11.09

I'm sure everyone's Saturday is already filled to the brim with plans of shenanigans in funny clothes, but for anyone still with a bit of free time this Friday, October 30th, you could always stroll along to the Elvis dance. Put on by Glasgow's Elvis fan club, known as the Elvis Touch, this Friday is obviously the Halloween dance. And contrary to popular belief, you will find very few Elvis costumes. Come along to the upstairs function room at the Junction Bar and enjoy Elvis from 8:00pm-1:00am. Doors close at 11:00pm, so be sure to get in on time. Hope to see you there!

get up and dance

The show's going well. You've all got the idea of the kind of music you'll hear. So I think it's time to start making it more interesting, and I've decided to start adding a bit of a theme to each episode. I'll start with something nice and simple: loud, fast, and fun. Expect to hear plenty of upbeat songs and very little talking from me. After all, the less I talk, the more time there is to enjoy the music. If you don't find yourself getting up to dance at least once during this episode, I'll consider it a failure. So please, enjoy yourselves and get up and dance!

No Pity For The Masses

Due to clashes with the slot No Pity For The Masses is currently allocated to and other commitments of mine there wasn't a show last week and there probably won't be one this week either.

However watch this space - hopefully this will change and regular weekly episodes will be the norm!

Posted at 17:29, 26th October 2009

show iii

The Process // 16.10.09

Right, a bit of a mess at the beginning. Sorry about that.

Making up for it straight away however, with Don Caballero's 'Mmmmm Acting, I Love Me Some Good Acting' from their excellent (obviously) World Class Listening Problem LP from 2006. Everyting they've done is pretty much perfect, so there's no real need to start with that particular record if you don't feel like it.

'The Message' (not that one) by Lyon's Ned next. I know very little about these guys I'm afraid. I picked up the LP at a Nuts and Seeds show at the 13th Note a couple of years ago when my band at the time had the honour of supporting them.

Some awkward silence follows, due largely to my amateurism (it won't happen again), before Australia's Ricaine blast us back to where we belong with 'Tact vs. Deceit' from their The Clarity of Distance album. My copy is the French re-issue on Ruminance (2006) but you should know that it originally came out in Australia on Rubber Records, back in 1997.

Gorgeous Iranian new-wave electro-pop from 1984 by Kullish Vahared now, on Japan's Crammed Discs. There'd be no reason not to think that this is a new release. But it's not, it's 25 years old. Wow. T.V.O.D by The Normal now, with an even more impressive vintage- 1978. The first release on Mute records, the label founded by The Normal himself- Daniel Miller. This is really the only record The Normal made. The b-side is as good, 'Warm Leatherette'.

Constellation's HangedUp now, with a typically Constellation-y doom epic. Lots of big strings and dispodant sounding drums made with more than a little help from labelmates GY!BE. From their self-titled 2000 LP.

Einsturzende Neubauten have certainly had some ups and downs in their career, but the last few albums have show them on startling form. This is the title track from their Alles Wieder Offen LP of 2007. Very much recommended, especially if their mid-nineties output let you down.

Another title track, 'Pink' by Boris. Nothing much needs to be said about Boris. Japan, Southern Lord, 決別, 俺を捨てたところ, etc etc.

Keeping it Southern Lord, 'Woe is the Contagion' by Twilight. I still haven't made my mind up about this album from 2005. Southern Lord were going through some changes at the time, and this album has always thrown me a little. Still, it's something you should hear if you haven't.

Everybody knows Sonic Youth's cover of 'Hotwire My Heart', so this is the original, by San Francisco's Crime. This was the first US punk record to come out on an independent label- origianlly issued in 1976 on Crime Records. For obvious reasons, this is the Swami reissue I'm playing.

A tenuous link, but another NYC cover version related tune follows. Loop, from London, doing Suicide's Rocket USA. On Reactor, from 1988 and one of the true great bands of all time. Expect more Loop in the coming weeks.

Death metal grindcore the way on they can, Ipswich's Extreme Noise Terror bring us towards a close. Not just the KLF's Brit Awards backing band... If you haven't heard this album (Being and Nothing) do yourself a favour, and track it down.

I don't know where to begin with Crass. Does anything really need to be said that hasn't already? Sheep Farming In The Falklands. 1982.

helsinki happenings

kaleidoscope // 26.10.09

Helsinki, the capital and largest city in Finland. Its a pretty cool place, full of art, music and culture. The Scandanavian metropolis apparently. I can't comment too much cause I havent been - yet! However all I can say is that they have kidnapped Pippin. Thats right. Kidnapped. Took her in the dead of the night and have forced her to sit down and study all things LAW for a year. How cruel! Or well, you know... mandatory - but hey! cant we share!? So in the aftermath of her 21st birthday we are toasting her plenty of tunes to keep her warm in the cooler climates and perhaps soothe that all mighty hangover that she will be carrying around. Heck! we will probably be keeping the party going if I am to know her only too well. Your friend, the girl with the kaleidoscope eyes xx

the three stooges

Screen Shrapnel // 24.10.09

They say “three is the magic number”, and who are we at Screen Shrapnel to argue with this arbitrary statement. Therefore, Subcity’s number one (and only) film review show has squeezed a triumvirate of critics into the studio for this week’s show: Graham Fulton, Jamie Dunn and Nick Green.

Fueled on a heady cocktail of sleep depravation, gut-rotting energy drink and testosterone, topics of discussion include Meg Ryan nudity, Question Time and dolphin rape. We also manage to do some reviewing: Wes Anderson’s foray into animation, Fantastic Mr. Fox, kicks off the show; Jane Campion’s Bright Star, a measured study of romance between John Keats and his muse Fanny Brawn, splits the Shrapnel team; and we look at eco-doc-cum-heist-movie, The Cove. To round off the show, Graham, Jamie and Nick choose their favourite documentaries.

Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed

Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 29.10.09

Ok, so if you read the last news item, you'll remember me mentioning we may be trying something a bit different this week. I'm not going into too much detail, all i can say is there probably won't be much music, if there is it will be more instrumental or mood setting. I also have about 4 days to put together what we need for our idea, then it will require some kind of rehearsal. It could be we've been too ambitious, and it won't come off, but i work best under pressure, and give that day is also my birthday, it would be a great start to the day.

To give you a clue, there may be zombies loose at Glasgow University, and to find out how to survive their attack, you'll have to tune into Shut Up and Eat Your Horror Part II. Meugghhh ha ha ha ha ha ha ...

Thursday 29th October at 3pm. Listen!!!

Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 22.10.09

Yes that's right, this was only the first installment in a 2 parter, and twas a pleasant enough show. I started with saying that Nick was dead and would have to be contacted by seance (he was out getting us coffees, if we talk too much gibberish it's the caffeine talking), and from there we meandered through a "Facts massacre" about ghosts and ghouls, halloween costume ideas and music from the likes of the damned, zombina and the skeletones and even a little Billie Holliday. Spooky, ghoulish and demented, but enough about Nicks mum ...

Well, the final for the Professionals Masterchef is on and in true Subcity fashion I always miss out on something decent on the tv when I am presenting the show. At least there is the BBC iPlayer these days, so its not all that bad. I remember for years I used to miss ER because of the show. Oh well. Anyway, tonight Sally will be playing tunes from 1979 to 2009 in honour of her friend Claire's birthday. I haven't decided on what to play tonight. I have a few exclusives to drop. Expect some cheese but most importantly, expect a great show. Tune in from 9pm tonight until 10pm.

free to experiment - part 1

Does Not Affect Play // 20.10.09

This week Does Not Affect Play begins a three (or should that be free?) part journey into the realms of freely distributed music. Over the course of the next three episodes I'll be highlighting numerous sources of amazing free music, discussing the reasons behind free distribution, and playing a whole host of songs you can download legally for free. The playlist for each episode will contain links to download all the songs from their original source.

Part 1 will highlight a number of free music sources that boast tens of thousands of interesting tracks, such as the superb Free Music Archive. Part 2 will focus on record labels that choose to distribute their music for free; and part 3 will be discussing the DIY approach with artists that distribute music freely themselves. If you have any interesting music or opinions you'd like to contribute to the coming shows then email jannik@subcity.org with your info.

So that's the scoop - tune in to part 1 for Swedish swing-jazz-death-metal, novelty beatboxing, Gamelan music and a "circus punk marching band".

Posted at 01:24, 20th October 2009

number two.

The Process // 09.10.09

Starting with Isotope 217, Chicago post-something jazz and featuring most of Tortoise. Seeing as Sub City broadcasts from the John McEntire building I think this is wholly appropriate. Even though John McEntire is one of few Tortoise members/associates not actually playing in Isotope.

Moving on to Frog Pocket now, aka John Charles Wilson from Ayr. An older record of his- from 2003- on the recently defunct Benbecula label. There are still copies of the CD version of this EP on Piccadilly, which won't be around for long.

Keeping it local, with sometimes amazing/sometimes rubbish Ganger, sadly also defunct themselves but having left a fantastic legacy of experimental post-rock.

'IV', track four of five from the Guapo album 'Black Oni' on Mike Patton's Ipecac label. Sometimes hard to believe they're from London, and not Portland. A record that in fact comes wrapped in several feet of black plastic and makes for quite a difficult time unwrapping it. Definitely some of the hardest working men in prog-business, their blog is always worth a read: http://guaponews.blogspot.com/

'Enhanced Amalgamated Computer Experience' by Satanstornade, on ATP records. This is from the Sonic Youth-curated ATP album, and I haven't seen the track anywhere else. You should also know that this duo is in fact Russell Haswell of Gescom, and Masami 'Merzbow' Akita.

I don't think there's too much needs to be said about Desalvo. If you don't have their Rock Action album 'Mood Poisoner'you should probably buy it now. Or steal it, I'm sure the band won't care.

I'm surprised it took this long to get to Swans. Not the last time they'll be played either. Michael Gira's finest years- this track, 'Butcher' comes from the 1984 LP Cop. Most Swans stuff got reissued a couple of years ago on CD with extra stuff, so you should be able to track it down easily enough.

Fuzz-drenched psych-rock mayhem from Fireball next. All-girl five-piece from New York here, and if you weren't turning it up and jumping around then you're probably not paying attention. This is a masterpiece!

More obscurity now, with a Big Black track- 'Burning Indian Wife'- that was only available on a 7" called 'Happiness is Dry Pants' which came free with Chemical Imbalance fanzine, in 1987. This track was a 'reject' from the Songs About Fucking recording, at Southern Studios.

Japanese punk next. Stupid Babies Go Mad covering Boris for a Black Flag tribute split 10" on Diwphalanx, of course! SBGM haven't exactly had much press, and all the writing is in Japanese so I can't tell you very much more!

'Syncopated Pandemonium' by Striborg is from another split record, this time on Southern Lord (of course), with Scurshahor. Striborg doing what they do, and hopefully a track you haven't heard before.

One of the true greats next, Ian Dominick Fernow, better know as Prurient. Power electronics from 2005 on Load Records. If you don't know Prurient(!) then investigate. There's a vast amount of back catalogue to relish.

love, test card & frank turner

Test Card // 21.10.09

Frank Turner.

Best get used to hearing that name.

Formerly of much-loved British post-hardcore outfit Million Dead, over the past few years Frank Turner has been busy making a considerable name for himself bringing an accessible blend of folk/punk to the fringes of the mainstream.

Frank's infectiously successful albums have seen him making various major radio playlists, signing to Epitaph, joining the Revival Tour and playing strings of sold out dates both in the UK and internationally. All well and good, but last week saw Frank's meteroic rise to fame reach its zenith- an interview with Test Card.

We caught up with Frank at the Glasgow date of said sold-out tour and discussed: success, the (ahem) "scene", politics (ahem), Spandau Ballet and a bunch of stuff in between...

Catch the interview on Test Card this week!

Build Your Own...Canoe! Nah, Im not going back down that path. The things unemployment leave you to ponder about. I definitely dodged a bullet on that one though. My 'Blue Peter' days led me to believe that such a thing was achievable but lets face it if it doesn't involve a toilet roll tube, recycled bottle tops or pipe cleaners then its going to take a lot of time and patience, never mind artistic vision. However I am going to try and construct a kaleidoscope as the show goes along! Oh yes. But thats just a little side project, the stuff that really matters is still going to be there - Love A Cover, Monday Midday Madness Cure, Golden Oldies and, and! A bag full of exclusives and a whole load of musical facts coming your way. Tune in Monday - noon till 1pm! Your friend, the girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

music review: q-tip - kamaal the abstract

Codeine Drums // 19.10.09

This is a review of an album you almost never got to hear.

In 2001, riding off the success of the 1999 single "Vibrant Thing" and subsequent album Amplified, former A Tribe Called Quest member Q-Tip began work on his followup, a jazz-influenced album in the style of Miles Davis.

Initially Reid supported the album, but upon hearing the work, believed it lacked commercial appeal and droped the release. In 2006, Q-Tip began negotiations with Arista to release control of the album to him. Meanwhile, he began work on another album, The Renaissance, eventually released on Universal Motown in 2008. Due to The Renaissance's success, Q-Tip finally decided to release the long-delayed, now fully remixed and remastered Kamaal the Abstract on Battery Records. So does this album live up to the hype?

In a word, yes.The Album is a piece of art.Q-Tip

From the opening chord of the first track, "Feelin'," Q-Tip announces that Kamaal the Abstract will not be a typical hip hop album. Scatting over a scratchy guitar riff and funky organ solo, the song melds rock, jazz, and rap into an irresistible mix. In a further nod to musical originality, one of the backup singers on the track is none other than Aisha Morris, daughter of legend Stevie Wonder. Feedback of various sorts accents Q-Tip's vocals — yes, he sings on multiple tracks, and does so extremely well.

Many of Kamaal the Abstract's tracks feature extended jazz solos, such as the flute breaks on "Do You Dig U" and keyboard runs on "A Million Times." Another standout track, "Heels" recalls Prince's funkiest songs, yet transitions into jazzy chord changes in the chorus. The driving guitar and bass relentlessly thump as the piano softens the tone in the chorus. In addition, the song showcases Q-Tip's considerable MC skills and songwriting talent — only he could use a shoe metaphor to comment on a lady's character. "Abstractionisms" lives up to its title, with Q-Tip spitting his particular brand of funky yet smart hip-hop poetry from his tribe days.

"Even If It Is So" also brings on the funk, but the complicated bass line (which Q-Tip mimics in his rapid fire rapping style) and trumpet solo reveals more jazz leanings. His scatting emphasizes the thumping bass, which defies the listener to sit still while hearing this track. "Make It Work" even provides commentary on Kamaal the Abstract's theme, that he's "introducing to you a brand new sound," which is certainly the case with this ambitious album.

Only "Caring" is the somewhat weak track on the album, including surprisingly clichéd lyrics and limited vocal ability on Q-Tip's part. His voice better suits up tempo funk and rock tracks.

It should be noted that Kamaal the Abstract is not the first rap work to flirt with jazz. The early 90s spawned two such fusions: "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)" by Us3, and "Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)" by Digable Planets. Q-Tip builds on these initial experiments and forges a new, sophisticated blend of hip hop, rock, funk, and jazz. While Kamaal the Abstract may have seemed avant-garde back in 2001, it deserves more appreciation in today's music landscape. Run, don't walk to pick up Q-Tip's latest masterpiece.It shall only thrive in value as time goes by.

brand new u.k. electronic madness!!

Codeine Drums salutes two meta-influences of U.K electronic music - Mary Anne Hobbes and Hyperdub records.

With Hobbes' release of yet another seminal compilation titled 'Wild Angels' as a physical marker of her influence through BBC Radio 1's Experimental Show, and Glasgow's own Kode9 in his imprint Hyperdub's brand new '5: 5 Years of Hyperdub' compilation, British electronic music is yet again shown to be the craziest and most inventive in the world right now.

Tune in for everything from Grime overlord Terror Danjah to Warp darling Hudson Mohawke.

subcity sessions 18/10/09 (pt 2)

Subcity Sessions // 18.10.09

The time has come to reveal our super exciting top secret band. We are very pleased to announce we have Paper Planes playing tonight (18th Oct). The band are three quarters Scottish and one quarter American, their influences range from Orange Juice and Joy Division to Velvet Underground and Brian Jonestown Massacre. The resulting sound is post punk perfection! To sample the band live you can catch them at King Tut's on 11th of November. Having just released their single 'Doris Day' to rave reviews - which you can check out at http://www.myspace.com/glasgowpaperplanes - we are very excited to have them in the studio. So make sure you tune in tonight from 6-8 at www.subcity.org!!!

when man is ill, the dead shall be on the radio

Screen Shrapnel // 17.10.09

Like Christmas, Halloween seems to come earlier each year, and with two weeks to go till All Saints’ Eve, cinema screens around town are echoing with the demented screams of zombies, vampires and ghosts of movies past.

But it’s not just onscreen that the dead are walking the Earth: this week Nick shuffled into the Subcity studio looking like an extra from Zombie Flesh Eaters, complete with blood-shot eyes, laboured movement and oodles of mucus. Despite the dreaded man-flu, however, he struggled on through.

This week’s releases include the bizarre (Thirst), the mysterious (Triangle), the hilarious (Zombieland) and the disheveled (The Imaginarium of Doctor Pernassus). We also discuss our ignorant socio-political theories surrounding the living-dead and choose our favourite vampire pictures.

These are the piercing sound fragments of screen shrapnel. Prepare to be underwhelmed.

With a headline show coming up at the Captin's Rest on 24th of October and a slot supporting Nine Black Alps at ABC2 on 29th of October, be sure to check them out on sessions as they are sure to be big!!!

the elephant six never forgets.

Get Back To 8-bit // 22.10.09

Have you ever had a monumentally awesome idea which brought something incredible into the world? Four childhood friends from Denver Colorado did when they decided that rather than limit themselves to forming one band together, they'd form different bands and work together, creating the (sometimes label, sometimes clubhouse) Elephant Six Collective. Rob Schneider (The Apples in Stereo), Bill Doss, Will Hart (The Olivia Tremor Control) and Jeff Magnum (Neutral Milk Hotel) kept in touch and while some of their musical projects ended, the collective remains and brought in new musical talent.

This week's Get Back To 8-bit salutes all great ideas for humanity and will be playing some choice tracks from several Elephant Six bands. Be prepared for some psych-folk and wave-based machinations suitable for bean bag dwellers and strange cake eaters. If you can only remember the 60s through outside stimulus and regression therapy, you may want to give this one a go. Expect news and good times along with it, so tune in Thursday at 14:00 or download at your convenience!

She Said // 17.10.09

So after a rollercoaster start to the new season with guests galore from the Glasgow underground and beyond, tonight it was a less frantic affair. Join Derek and Allan as they relax, loosen their ties and quite frankly bring you some of the best shouty, punky, noisy loveliness there is with of course just a smidgeon or two of gentle mellowness.

It's like a pleasingly warm bath with loads of aromatic bubbles. Allow us to shift over, there's plenty room here for everybody......

crime

Live From Las Vegas // 16.10.09

Hi guys, Gregg here.

Crime has existed for over twenty years. Many people enjoy crime, from the humble thief to the noble serial killer. Crime is everywhere, everyone loves it, but is there enough of it? In my analysis, 32,648.3 tribal fusion. Is our attraction towards crime genetically inbuilt, or part of our sociological upbringing? Ocean’s 11 would suggest it was our upbringing. Ocean’s 12 would suggest it was psychological. And Ocean’s 13 was enjoyable, but unfocused, according to Paul Ross in the News of the World.

Good criming guys!

Subcity Spin // 08.10.09

Curb Your Enthusiam star Shaquille O'Neal slow raps, Washed Out slow jams, Toro Y Moi from Carpark and Hype Williams from Ceylan Projects.

Ceylan Projects (http://www.ceylanprojects.org) have a new exhibition Magic & Happiness, a group show curated around an essay by Giorgio Agamben.

Whatever we can achieve through merit and effort, cannot make us truly happy. <...> What a disaster if a woman loved you because you deserved it! <...> [T]here is only one way of achieving happiness on this earth: to believe in the divine and not to aspire to reach it (there is an ironic variation of this in a conversation between Franz Kafka and Gustav Janouch, when Kafka affirms that there is plenty of hope - but not for us). That apparently ascetic thesis becomes intelligible only if we understand the meaning of this "not for us". It means not that happiness is reserved only for others (happiness is, precisely, for us) but that it awaits us only at the point where it was not destined for us. That is: happiness can be ours only through magic. - Giorgio Agamben, Magic and Happiness

Famous for his original readings and interpretation of texts, Giorgio Agamben is a contemporary Italian philosopher. His work, be it political theory or his early essays on art, stems from an interest in the relationship between the notions of work and happiness. Magic and Happiness, from which this exhibition takes its name and vocation, is an essay that brings Agamben's thought to its very roots and now more than ever appears as a strikingly accurate criticism of the modern condition. In a moment where currencies like merit and effort are devalued precisely because they no longer stand as guarantee for the Western ideal of happiness, we are once again to reconsider what happiness is and how to achieve it.

Magic & Happiness group show showcases new work by seven artists who have challenged mainstream perception of happiness through different mediums including sculpture, installation, painting and sound. The work is as naive as it is cynical expressing both fascination and distrust towards the decadence of contemporary culture.

DJ RuBot and the Ghetto Scientist gave you all the information you need to build the world's greatest paper plane, or did you find yourself with a boat?!

Journeys // 24.10.09

Hey folks,

This week's show is a delve into the Blues.

I'll be playing some Delta Blues, some Chicago Blues, some Piedmont (East Coast) Blues, some Blues-Rock, some Gospel Blues, some British Blues and erm... some other types of Blues that you can find on Wikipedia (like what I just done)...

Expect to hear from the likes of Muddy Waters, Big Bill Broonzy, Cream, Lightnin' Hopkins, Leadbelly, Josh White, Howlin' Wolf, The Yardbirds and many more!

The Spotlight this week is on one of the earliest and certainly one of the most influential and legendary Blues players of all time; Robert Johnson. The story goes that he was advised to go to the crossroads with his guitar, where it was tuned, played and given back to him by Satan himself. In exchange for his mortal soul of course. From then on he could play, write and sing the Blues better than anyone ever had before.

The truth is that not a whole lot is really known about Robert Johnson. What is known is based mainly on recollections from his surviving contemporaries, garnered during interviews that took place during the Blues revival of the 1960s. His recording career lasted just two years: 1936-1937, and he died in 1938 at the age of just 27.

The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of tracks that have nothing to do with the Blues (just to break things up):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQLWF_ItzYs

1. Neil Diamond - Forever In Blue Jeans

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98P-gu_vMRc

2. ELO - Mr Blue Sky

To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

stuart and butler: the great versus verses... irel

The Breakfast Show // 15.10.09

Tensions are high. Reputations are at stake. A friendship is on the rocks...

That's right. This week's grand Verses Versus brought about the great debate of who is a more musically triumphant country... Ireland. Or Wales.

Stuart and Butler rattle it out, whilst playing some excellent tunes to get you going on a Thursday morning (or whenever your itchy Listen Again fingers occur) and we need YOUR votes at http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=32193622614&ref=ts so we know who to shame in the next SB edition of the BS. Also. Rick Astley is HOT.

Or rather, you don't really have to shoot 'em in the head, because this week's news links don't really have anything out to get us. A first for Get Back To 8-bit.

Japanese train station employs cat as station master. First order of business, vomiting hair ball on the tracks and putting a dead bird on the 9:15am commute to Tokyo:

And then the third item I mentioned... yeah I was originally going to put a link up so you could see it for yourself but I think the "telling you without really telling you how bad this thing is" on the show was enough. Needless to say, it's a big bowl of wrong.

Tune in tonight from 9pm purely for the reason that Build + Destroy is far superior to Nevermind The Buzzcocks. Who knows, we might even do an intro round for you to guess. Maybe with a prize too?

some good geek news and some bad geek news.

http://blog.newsarama.com/2009/10/14/and-lo-there-comes-stan-lee-day/

Good geek news!

The city of Los Angeles recognised Stan Lee by pronouncing October 2nd as Stan Lee day and presented the man with an official certificate of commemoration. Now if only we could harvest the material which constitutes Stan's hairline I think we'd be able to create lighter, more durable spaceshuttles.

'Nuff said.

Bad geek news!

The former wrestler "Captain" Lou Albano was pronounced dead on October 14th at age 76. Lou was noteworthy to all geeks of the 80s as being the first actor to portray Nintendo's flagship character Mario in a vocal manner, in the tv series "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show", waaaaay before the now accepted voice of Mario, Charles Martinet, came along. The show might have been more on the side of ass than awesome, but for a lot of kids, this was the voice.

Live From Las Vegas

Two thousand years ago when Jar Jar Tolkein invented fantasy I doubt she had intended this... This edition of 'live from las Vegas' is brought to you live from inside the creative imagination. If you do not have one then it is recommended you see the film 'willow' first and while listening to the show just imagine Warick David and the other ones running around, round and round, in their funny little way - so majestic. Regardless, if you've ever been read a bedtime story, if you've ever seen a children’s movie from the eighties if you've ever visited a place that exists only in dreams, prepare yourself for the vile return as Mark and Allan twist and turn the things of - MYTHS AND LEGENDS

Ms Chakrabarti was also named one of the most powerful people in the UK and just missed out on Channel 4's "Most Inspiring Political Figure" award in 2006.

Shami Chakrabarti also frequently wipes the floor with anyone foolhardy enough to disagree with her on the BBC's flagship poltical programme: Question Time.

We also have the sublime Woo Factor and 80s vs 90s to get your British Hips clacking away in effortless non-rhythm...

...So wake up, grab that air guitar (or your cereal spoon if closer) and enjoy our dulcet tones in between the best of our rather questionable music taste!

competition?

Roots, Rock, Reggae // 12.10.09

There's a proverbial 'war of shout-outs' going on between a few of the listeners. It seems as if some people are on a quest to see how many times they can get their name mentioned on the show. But, of course, nothing comes cheaply. Feel like joining in and amassing your own count of shout-outs? In keeping with the theme of the show, the requirement for getting a mention is to get in touch with me (whether it be during the show by emailing studio@subcity.org or texting the word "Subcity" and your message to 07766 40 41 42, or email me directly at rootsrockreggae2009@hotmail.co.uk) and request one of your favourite tracks. Tune in this week to hear what requests people have come up with this time, and I look forward to getting a few new ones in the future.

Music For Pleasure // 11.10.09

This week, for one week only, it's a bumper 2 hours of music for your pleasure.

Yes, that's right Joe and Paul have taken over the soul boat. Along with the usual shiny disks, phil collins and mystery bags, we've scoured the vaults and will be starting off with a selection of some of the better soul, funk, disco and hiphop, at least till those three records run out.

Screen Shrapnel // 10.10.09

Another week, another half arsed attempt at a film review show from Screen Shrapnel. What do Screen Shrapnel sound like, you ask? Imagine, if you will, a Derek & Clive record with more film chat, less swearing, that’s not very funny, and you’re half way there.

This week, in between elocution lessons and casual racism, we discuss the latest film from the near infallible animation studio Pixar, muse on Shane Meadow’s semi-improvised mocumentary, Le Donk & Sorzayzee, and try not to give away the plot of Peter Strickland’s Transylvania set revenge film, Katalin Varga.

Also on this week’s show: the nation’s favourite high-brow discussion feature, The Cultural Highlight of the Week, is back by popular demand, along with a brand new theme tune; anglo-scots tensions reach fever pitch over the pronunciation of the name Carl; and Screen Shrapnel set the Women’s Movement back decades with our ignorant feminist reading of Katalin Varga.

Go on, have a listen. You’ll only be slightly disappointed.

shut up and eat your pianist

Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 15.10.09

Never ones to shy away from a bad pun, this weeks show is titled "Shut Up and Eat Your Pianist", and if you have no plans, or even if you do have plans, you should change them and come along to Pivo Pivo on Thursday 15th October for the gig of the same name. Featuring that night will be ...

The Dirty Demographic - www.myspace.com/thedirtydemographic Jonathan Carr - www.myspace.com/jonathan.carr Penny Black - www.myspace.com/therealpennyblack AcidDICA - www.myspace.com/aciddica

All use piano prominently in their performances, but their styles are very different.

For the show itself we'll be looking at the history of piano based music from classical, to rock and roll, via dance music, and up to performers utilising it now in an interesting way. Or we'll do what we usually do and put together a playlist in a panic on the day, then if it goes ok pretend that was our intention all along. This is the cutting edge of broadcasting folks.

So the show is at 3pm on Thursday 15th October, be sure to listen. And you'd be silly not to come along on Thursday night at 8pm for the gig. It's only 3 quid in, and you'll get to meet me n Nick too, cos you know you want to having heard our sexy radio voices ...

casiokids competition

Pop Goes The Revolution // 09.10.09

Pop Goes The Revolution was officially relaunched on Wednesday night (only three weeks after we came back to air) and now we're ready to really raise the roof.

This week we're branching out into new technologies, as George attempts to play something off vinyl. We have no idea how this will go. As of yet he can't work out how to connect it up to a USB port, but we're hopeful we'll get there.

However, for those of you wondering why such a risk would be taken - it is all in an attempt to offer a delicious prize to a lucky listener more advanced in the ways of the world than ourselves.

That lovely man, Josh, from Subcity Spin has given us a lovely 7 inch vinyl copy of a brand new release by Norwegian electro kings Casiokids. Tune into the show live or on listen again to find out how you could win a copy of the new single Finn Bikkjen as well as getting to hear the single and another exclusive track by Casiokids.

We've been relaunched - we're really here now - so be prepared.

out of africa part deux - sat 10th oct '09 12-2 pm

Journeys // 10.10.09

Hey folks,

For this week's show I will be doing my best to represent an entire continent; Africa (had you guessed?).

I'll be playing a selection of tunes from Nigeria, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Ethiopia, Ghana, Cameroon and some other countries. All of them African.

I'll be 'Spotlighting' Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Songwriter, singer, band-leader, multi-instrumentalist, Afrobeat pioneer, political activist, thorn in the side of Nigerian and other African dictatorships and damn funky dude. He combined Yoruba and other African rhythms with American funk, soul and jazz (but mostly funk), to create a whole new thing; Afrobeat. In a shocking break with convention, I'll be playing a few favourite tracks.

The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of tracks from UK bands, that rather tangentially have 'Afrika' in their titles...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLBRhX8G22M

1. Leftfield ft. Afrika Bambaataa - Afrika Shox

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRC7zKfKomc

2. The Chemical Brothers - It Began In Afrika

To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

first show.

The Process // 02.10.09

The first show and a gentle start, comparitively, with Pluramon's own remix of his 'Self' track, from the Bit Sand Riders compilation on Germany's ever-reliable Mille Plateaux label.

The shimmering Neu-isms of Brighton's (dearly departed) Electrelane take us into Southern Lord's immense bass-and-drums-and-volume duo Om, with 'Unified Knowledge of the Godhead' from their Pilgrimage LP.

Two Jesus Lizard-y tracks from Glasgow's Grozny follow 'Blockbuster', by the Jesus Lizard themselves. Taken from 1989's fantastic Pure album, of course.

OOIOO next, with an explosive remix from fellow Boredoms member Yamantaka Eye. Not, as I mentioned, a gig-only 12", but limited to 1000 and mostly sold at gigs. Not managing to hold off any longer, Whitehouse are on next with 'Princess Disease' from the stand-out (from the later period) Cruise album.

A massive favourite of mine by Alex Newport's Fudge Tunnel now, from the Hate Songs In E Minor album. While I'll try to avoid playing too many tracks from the same album, you can expect to hear more from this record over the weeks.

The first black metal on The Process comes in the form of Watain, and if you even have a passing interest in that track you should absolutely investigate Casus Luciferi, the band's second LP featuring the track.

'Chain Balled' by the hardest working man in noise-business, Aaron Dilloway, slows things down now. Despite Wolf Eyes losing their way, Dilloway can certainly still impress on his own. Leicester's Prolapse turn it up again with the frankly fantastic 'Testation', the b-side to 1998's 'Autocade' 7". Good response to this, so do keep me informed how much you're enjoying the music, or not.

show news and a good lifestyle tip!

Build And Destroy // 08.10.09

Attention lifeforms,

Many thanks for all of you who have been listening to the show, I've just completed nine more themed playlists which will be launching over the next few weeks (look out for Japanarama! and an Aliens/Monsters show this month) and don't forget that today's show is Random Acts of Violence. Hope you tune in this afternoon.

As this month features Halloween, I imagine many of you will be dressing as our now lost gloved-one, MJ. But to complete that look, you have to know how to moonwalk right (and on general principle, you need to know how to moonwalk right, especially if you want to WOW potential employers). But don't fret, I have the means to teach you all you need to know if you can't pull off some sweet moves.

Step One!

Keep the left leg bent and heel planted. Put your weight on that leg.

Step Two!

Slide your right leg backward by pulling at the hips, keeping that knee locked and that foot flat on the ground. Swing your left arm forward at the same time.

Step THE THIRD!

When your right leg is behind you, shift your weight onto it while bending the right knee and lifting the right heel. Straighten your left leg, then pull it backward at the hip and swing your right arm forward.

Step Four!

Repeat from the start. Grab crotch (optional) and exclaim "YOU'VE BEEN STRUCK BY A SMOOTH CRIMINAL! WOOO!" (not optional).

Posted at 10:36, 8th October 2009

tune in to build + destroy tonight at 9pm!

Unfortunately Sally is still unwell, but she should be back next week. However, I will be playing some good records and I might even have a couple of guests in the studio with me. I'll be playing some tracks from Architeq, Mike Slott as well as Floating Points. Tune in to find out who tonight's special guest presenters are, if they turn up!

fitba am gets its big break

Left Of The Dial // 10.10.09

The lads from Fitba AM went down to Kelvin Hall again today and managed to meet a few of the stars. With a media pass they gained access to the post-match press conference involving the successful John Higgins who clinched a place in the quarter finals after seeing off the world number one Ronnie O'Sullivan. Higgins claimed that at 4-3 down he didn't think he had a chance of winning the game. When O'Sullivan missed a golden opportunity on an easy red, Higgins managed to level the match and then made a break of 94 to seal the deciding frame.

Fitba AM have managed to interview three top 16 ranked players over the past few days including the young Northern Irish star Mark Allen who is keen to see youngsters get involved in the sport. Allen believes the student ticket initiative which offers tickets at £5 is a great chance for young people to find a way into the sport.

Tune in on Sunday for the full interviews.

Jonathan Richman, in honour of his gig at the Oran Mor later on Saturday night. #1 Record is the first Modern Lovers album, there's tracks from acts he's gone on to influence, from Talking Heads to M.I.A., and there'll be chat about just how naive such a blatant Velvet Underground fanboy can ever really be.

I was having a look at the playlist for the upcoming show and randomly started thinking about a Tango Tree...its a mythical tree that stems from all kinds of musical roots and branches out to 'Love A Cover', 'Monday Midday Madness Cure' and of course blossoms from our 'Golden Oldies' (Did I really just say that?). Tune in Noon till 1pm Today and find out more. Your friend, the girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

another successful elvis night

Codeine Drums // 05.10.09

Just a quick update for anyone else interested in these Elvis-themed nights. Saturday the 3rd of October was a hugely successful night for the Edinburgh Elvis fan club. Malcolm King (hailed as Scotland's best Elvis tribute act) put on a great performance for everyone which was followed by 3 hours of non-stop dancing (it was down to me to play the music, so hopefully I was doing something right!). So if anyone fancies giving one of these dances a try, the next one in Glasgow is the Halloween dance on Friday, the 30th of October in the upstairs function room of the Junction Bar in the city centre. And the next dance being put on by the Edinburgh Elvis fan club is on Saturday, the 14th of November at the Royal Air Force Club on London Road. It's something different, but just as fun as any night out, if not more. Hope to see some of you there.

shut up and eat your frontman

Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 08.10.09

This week, for both radio show and gig at Pivo Pivo we're celebrating bands with compelling frontmen, a bit of showmanship, a bit of "what the hell was that"? At Pivo Pivo on Thursday from 8pm we have Zener Diode, Mickey 9's and Foxgang. Zener Diode are some kind of mad german electro pop experiment gone wrong. Mickey 9's have funk and soul, and do a kick ass daft punk cover. Foxgang are one of the best bands in Glasgow. On the show we'll have songs by ... ooh, all sorts of bands with good frontmen. And the usual nonsense banter from myself and Nick, possibly done in the style of 2 northern men commentating on some kind of farming contest (stay tuned for when this might actually happen, we're evolving the idea of the show cos frankly the more documentary style is boring us! Informative, yes, allowing us to get into characters and talk gibberish, no!) So for all you listeners we must have accumulated thus far, expect some changes at SHUT UP HQ. That is all.

3pm on Thursday, listen!!!

THE W FACTOR!!!

We will be undermining The Cowell's talent by presenting to you, our dear listeners, the best of "Woo-ness" in our cheesy classics. For want of a better explanation, Mel and Nicki B will be trawling our CD collection for those epic power ballads and the ones in between that got away, all to bring you (or rather, scathingly attack!) all those singers who can't think of anything else to warble and slot in a "wooooo", "oooooh", "whoaaaaa", yip, you get the picture!

So jump out of bed and into our morning madness as we bring our funky feature, The W Factor to life, with of course, our buzz-cut immaculate and our trousers propping up our pecs Cowell-style!

the solo project

Music For Pleasure // 04.10.09

This week, Paul's abandoned proceedings, so it's a solo effort for one week over. No Phil, No Mega Mix, No Shiny disk. Just 1 hour, 1 Man in a room on his own, and a bag of dubious records.

the sound of music

Screen Shrapnel // 03.10.09

Welcome again to Subcity’s best (and only) film review show, Screen Shrapnel.

The tenth month of the Gregorian calendar marks the beginnings of a strange limbo in the film world: an unpredictable period between the high-octane blockbusters of the summer months and the award chasing art-house pictures of winter. The cinematic releases of October are the waifs and strays of Hollywood; they are the unlabelable and the unwanted. And it is our job at Screen Shrapnel to let you know which of these mongrels deserve a loving home and which need a lethal injection.

On this week’s show we tell you the truth about chubby little fatman Ricky Gervais’ latest vehicle, The Invention of Lying. We review Pandorum, a deep space dystopia with an aesthetic that’s somewhere betwixt Alien’s Nostromo and a Prince video circa 1985. And, despite Nick’s protestation, we take a look at the remake of Alan Parker’s 1980 crime against fashion, Fame.

Those brave enough to listen will also hear the debut of our new, brilliantly conceived feature called The Cultural Highlight of the Week. You can also savour some a cappella singing from Nick and hear Jamie’s emasculating confessions of cowardice in the face of a couple of Glaswegian Vicky Pollards.

These are the piercing sound fragments of Screen Shrapnel. Prepare to be underwhelmed.

thirty-two // 05.10.09

This week we've got fresh faced Floyd coming in to the studio with her ear pleasing mind teasing mashed up mixes which we're sure will have you tapping your toes! Adding a bit of female touch to the show, Floyd's eclectic blend of electro funk is not one to be missed!

We'll also be looking at the literally brand spanking new Dirty Basement remix of "Top Back" by Alias Unknown, a crunk tune turned fidgety bassline monster! Look out for it on Crux Records some time soon, it's a wobbler!

Don't miss out!

transport

Live From Las Vegas // 02.10.09

This week the theme is transport. Humans have been using transport for hundreds of years, from the earliest prams and buggies, the trams and wheelchairs, all the way to the wheelie bins used to transport the dead. It is said that the early Egyptians used transport. Roads, rails, rivers and toads, it’s not just the nervous that are on the move. Travel and adventure are things that have gripped the human imagination through the ages and have inspired even the most ridiculous of transports (skiing?), sometimes there is a time for travel and sometimes there is a time for a stop- so crawl down, relax and tune in to 'Live from Las Vegas'~ TRANSPORT.

An interview with Moshi Moshi darlings Slow Club from Sheffield.

Exclsuive new tracks from Young Aviators, as well as tunes from Alan Pownall, The Perils, and others.

A complete run down of all the happenings for next Wednesday at Pivo Pivo at our extravagant relaunch night.

A brilliant live acoustic set from the latest PGTR house band, Skinny Villains, as well as a nice chat with the band and a few songs chosen by the lads themselves.

All this plus the usual Nikki's Nostalgia, A Saving Grace, The Song Battle, and everyone's favourite Nikki's News.

Will we fit it all in? Who knows. There's only one way to find out - tune in on Friday 2nd October at 5pm-7pm for Pop Goes The Revolution.

Journeys // 03.10.09

Hey folks,

Due to illness last week and work commitments this week (I will be sunning myself in Loughborough for the end of the week), I haven't had much time to devote to the show!

There will be a show this week though, and I'll be playing a selection of 1960s soul and funk. Expect to hear the likes of Gladys Knight & The Pips, Nina Simone, The Latinaires, Garnett Mimms, Mutt & Jeffo, The Chambers Brothers, Billy Preston and pure hunners mare...

The Spotlight this week is on Lou Courtney. A funky soulster who should be much better known than he is. Can you guess what I will be doing? Yes, I will be playing a few of my favourite tracks of his! Nice.

The Weird But Wonderful vote sees a couple of British soul-boys go head to head:

1. Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl

Probably his most famous song, with millions of airplays registered on US radio, Van Morrison claims that he has never received a penny from it - due to the contract he ill-advisedly signed at the time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PmRNUToamI

2. Joe Cocker - Woman To Woman

The track that Tupac and Dr. Dre turned into 'California Love'. Nuff said.

To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

shut up and eat your math rock

Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 01.10.09

From Wikipedia - Math rock is a rhythmically complex, guitar-based style of experimental rock music that emerged in the late 1980s. It is characterized by complex, atypical rhythmic structures (including irregular stopping and starting), angular melodies, and dissonant chords.

Math rock shares its place of origin in the late 80s underground music scene of the American Midwest and surroundings with post-rock. Some earlier bands have characteristics of both math rock and post-rock, using instruments for textures rather than melodies and riffs, featuring atypical rhythms and some dissonance. The genres soon diverged: math rock concentrated on angular melodies, atypical time signatures, start-stop rhythms, and dissonance, while staying closer to rock music in sound and instrumentation. Post-rock, on the other hand, concentrated on heavy use of dynamics, creating sound-scapes, and expanded the variety of instruments used, used a jazzier drumming style, and incorporated elements of shoe-gaze music.

There, that's us telt. Now tune into the show at 3pm on Thursday 1st October and come along to the gig at Pivo Pivo featuring Oslow, The Chinaskis and Albino Monk, it's only 3 quid in and math rock-tastic!

numbers, sounds and novelties

The Co-operative

Attention!

We are putting together a playlist of songs to do with numbers and we want your suggestions. Songs we have so far include Tea for Two by Doris Day, Three is the Magic Number by Bob Dorough, The Ten Commandments by Prince Buster and Twelve Tribes by 4Hero. We want to fill in the rest of the numbers between 1 and 12, but any songs involving other numbers are welcomed with open arms too. Can you think of any with halves or decimal points? I think Kate Bush did a song about Pi... Anyway, get your thinking caps on and hopefully you'll be hearing something numerically pleasing on the radio soon. You can post ideas on our Facebook group, or you can email us at glasgow.cooperative@gmail.com

This week for The Sound of Sound, Imogen ditched those final heartbreak songs and opted instead for a trio of female bands. David's playlist for this week began with tracks by Glasgow-oriented acts and ended with the wonderful Scott Walker cover of Jacques Brel's Mathilde, with electronic and 8-bit adventures in between. For the fourth instalment of the Co-operative expect some instrumentals and novelties put together by the talented goddess Rosie.

boom-shak-a-lak rudeboy

The Beat Route // 28.09.09

The Beat Routes second show is a rip-rolling mix through Electro, Breaks, Dubstep and a hefty dose of Drum n' Bass.

Since Stroudy had to return to the valleys of Wales this weeks show is brought to you by the BeatNazi who due to his own ever-increasing stupidity left his Serato control vinyls at home 5 minutes before the beginning of the show. This left the heavy smoker ruined after a desperate run home to make it back in time. The show begins slightly post-schedule and ends similarly but it's all there on the listen again section thanks to some technical wizardry.

Enjoy!

hamster adventure week

Paper Mache // 27.09.09

This week we took a more serious turn than previous shows. Important discussion was fielded on the issue of lightsabers. Another key issue was exactly what is the face of a man shoving TNT up his bum. We also commented on John Smeatons' attempts at politics, how to propose via penguin and the best weapons available in a library (there's more than books there you know.)One of the biggest stories of the week was at Her Magesty's Pleasure and concerned the incorrect use of anti-bacterial gel. We took a closer look. The three minute rant was brought to you by Ruth, who got to let rip into a wee bit of political scullduggery.

Perhaps more importantly though, after the show "Paper Mache" and "Debate is Free" teamed up to go in quest of a hamster, traversing the lethal GWR and braving PAH to bring him home. We hope said hamster will accept the role of News Empire mascot, and yes, we photocopied his passport.

This weeks broadcast is a little out of character for Codeine Drums.

Although Hip Hop is at the heart of what 'Drums is all about, a lot of music both new and old that's been freekin' my ears the past week has been leanin' towards Disco and Electro sounds...

so to celebrate this, Codeine Drums is playing strictly just that for a whole hour. Check out new tracks from Chromeo and Fever Ray, and old Italo Disco classics that make the dancefloor sweat.

"Taps aff", as they say.

the lamentable debut of nicholas green esq.

Welcome to another hour of cinematic stream-of-consciousness cum film review show. Graham is off roaming in the gloaming this week, but fear not, stepping into his substantial shoes is Nicholas Green – self confessed misanthrope and mediocre love-maker.

On this week’s show you’ll hear some impersonations that waver between Upton Park and Hillsborough, some libelous claims against Robert Downey Jr.’s manhood and some ill informed film chat.

We open with a review of The Firm, the latest film from geezer, auteur, and ardent Danny Dyer supporter, Nick Love. Joe Wright’s awards chasing syrup bucket, The Soloist, gets chewed over and spat out. And Nick and Jamie reminisce about blood drench warrens, lagomorpha as big as dobermans, lost hedgehogs and iron giants, in our animation feature.

All this, plus a play-list that includes The Smiths, Art Garfunkel and Neil Diamond.

Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed.

And of course we played tracks from their new and seriously loud album 'Thriller' not to mention a wee classic oldie as well.

All this plus the usual eclectic mix of punky, DIY noisiness.

You know you want to.....

live acoustic session with blythe and steph

Music Always Comes First // 03.10.09

Along with out the usual great playlists Music Always Comes First will have Mcf Artists Blythe and Steph LIVE in the studio. The two girls will be performing 3 acoustic tracks in total. Now the girls are not currently on the MCF website as it will be changing for the end of october and the girls will be added then. Make sure you give us feedback of what you think of the two female editions to the MCF Family. Blythe has already done tracks with Madhat, Blasfima Sinna and in the progress of working on a track with Nity Gritz she is already causing whispers on the scene about her voice. Steph is someone that Jay came across and asked her to send him some tracks. Steph done this and her talent was something that Jay,John and Jinj could not ignore. With a video of her performing Stephs own track Estranged blowing them away , the MCF owners knew that they wanted Steph to be a part of the MCF Family. Watch out for these two young ladies in the future. Feedback is appreciated. www.myspace.com/mcfradio www.bebo.com/mcfradio www.musiccomesfirst.com

Signalling an end to our brief spell of novelty programming DT,RT will be churning out a more laid back mix this week of all things hardcore, metallic and metalgazey (which I have been informed is in fact a real genre.) If you're lucky a couple of the tie ins and euro-tales we left out of our first loosely related Ieper-episode will make a showing, if you're unlucky however the intention is least an excuse for a truly excellent pun.

elvis dance in glasgow

Roots, Rock, Reggae // 21.09.09

Due to an anonymous email from a listener wanting to know how one would dance to an Elvis Presley track, I figured I would post the details of the upcoming Elvis dance in Glasgow. It is put on by Glasgow's Elvis fan club (called the Elvis Touch), and there is a dance on the last Friday of every month in the upstairs function room at the Junction Bar in the city centre. From 8:00pm until late, come along and enjoy some Elvis music with other enthusiasts. The next dance is this Friday, the 25th of September. And, like at all the other dances, I'll be getting up to do the music for an hour or two. Hope to see a lot of you there.

Posted at 13:48, 21st September 2009

Much more organized show for you this week. Still plenty of great music, but thankfully I managed to get my timing down, so you should be able to hear it all in the 'Listen Again' feature. Enjoy the rest of your week, and be sure to tune in again next Monday at 10:00am.

Since Nikky has been away in the bigger smoke this week she brings us the best in local London news for one week only while I trawled the interweb looking for important articles that impact on the lives of all students. What I found was mostly rubbish about crop circles and retirees going a bit mental in the States.

the tricky second show

Screen Shrapnel // 19.09.09

The first FM show! And we made it through unscathed: no swearing, no racism, and no on-air breakdowns. Unfortunately, though, we are still working the mixing desk with all the elegance of a drunken equine. But we’re getting there.

On this weeks show we reminisce about the decade that fashion forgot while discussing 80s set Adventureland, Greg Mottola’s follow-up to the hilarious Superbad. Talking of fashion, we consider the new sub-genre which appears to be the very button of fashion at the moment, the fashion film, which culminates this week with the release of The September Issue. We also discuss Away We Go, the new film from Mr Kate Winslet.

All this, plus we get our first caller, Nick Lindner, which is all the more remarkable given that we are not a call-in show. There is some tension in the studio as Graham takes umbrage with Jamie's surprise choice for most influential film of the decade. And there are some tears as we celebrate the career of the late – and almost great – Patrick Swayze.

Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed

Dance! Dance! Dance!

DANCE! DANCE! DANCE!

September Weekend Balearic Especial!!!

Sat 26th Sep 10pm – 3am £8/5 students (£5 passes available at pre-club party - venue tbc)

The Universal Sauchiehall Lane Glasgow G2 4JD 0141 332 8899 http://www.universalbar.co.uk/

DANCE! DANCE! DANCE! present a true Balearic legend:

PHIL MISON (Cantoma/Reverso 68/Frontera) http://www.myspace.com/cantoma

Producer, songwriter, musician and Balearic DJ sound pioneer Phil Mison aka Cantoma has championed the chill-out music genre since its inception in the early-90s, after being inspired by listening to Jose Padilla at the world famous Cafe Del Mar. Mison, who began his storied DJ career at London’s famed Milk Bar in 1991, segued into producing after a decade DJ-ing around the world and touring with bands such as Leftfield. In 1995, he released the first of his Soundcolors compilation, the groundbreaking series that featured electronic music, mixed for mood over the traditional beat match. A Café Del Mar residency and 10 compilations later, Mison has exported this island flavour into crafting an original artist album as Cantoma. Phil is also one of the leading pioneers of the Nu-Disco/Cosmic sound, currently recording as Reverso 68 and Frontera with Pete Herbert. With his Cosmic tinged remix of Luke I Love You, a firm favourite not just at DANCE! DANCE! DANCE! but an almost permanent fixture in the record boxes of DJ’s such as Balearic Mike.

DANCE! DANCE! DANCE! have been big fans of Phil for a long time and are proud to have such an inspirational DJ for our re-launch party. In true Balearic style expect Phil to join the dots between underground Disco, Afro-Beat, early House and the ‘of the moment’ Nu-Disco/Cosmic sound – and all in his signature Slo-Mo style. And as a bonus its Phil’s birthday the weekend he’s here so we’ll be throwing him a bit of a party in sunny Glasgow, so come down and join the celebrations!!!

Viva la Balearica!!!!

Phil will be supported by DANCE! DANCE! DANCE! residents:

Andy Piacentini (Disco not Disco) Derek Smith (Funktifeyeno)

Dance! Dance! Dance! have hooked up with www.purple-radio.co.uk and will be bringing you exclusive mixes and regular shows on this cracking internet radio station.

Music For Pleasure

After a Summer's hiatus traveling the globe for the best in charity shop records to give the show a new lease of life, Thin Joe and Fat Paul only managed to buy one record. It's a cracker but won't be enough to fill a show. So we're gonna play an hour of tunes from the vaults.

Expect an hour of music from all corners of the globe and all levels of quality. As always there will be the normal random tunes, shiny disks, Phil Collins, some new treats and the infamous 'surreal' Oxfam Mystery Bag Mega Mix. See you Sunday.

shut up and eat your rave

Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 24.09.09

This weeks show will be a real nostalgia trip for me and anyone who grew up in the 80's when rave was at it's peak, and bands like The Prodigy first entered public consciousness. I'll admit, i've decided on this as a bit of a multi-task as I have to research a 5 year period of music history for my HND Music Business, and i chose Rave. Killing two birds with one stone. So expect a musical journey taking rave from it's underground roots to some of the hideous sights witnessed on mainstream tv and radio as it began to slowly die or at least evolve, and also a little history of the Britain that spawned the phenomenon, and erosions in our civil liberties that raves influence were used to justify. Or i'll just get mad wi it and spin some banging tunes. Whatever.

The question is, what do i do to immerse myself in "rave" culture, obviously "raves" still go on tho not always by that name, and many dj's still play the music (i'm sure if i trawled the subcity shows i'll find some crossover with what someone else is doing ...) My first thought was to try and organise an "illegal rave" which is guess would have to take place no later than wednesday to be relevant to the show. Or, is there something going on this weekend where people will be listening to such "old skool" music and if i were to go to it, would i possibly get stabbed? Oh, the questions. Or, and i hate myself for just thinking of this, should i go to some standard club night, but fully dressed in late 80s raved up gear ie boiler suit, dust mask filled with vix, glow sticks ... again, would i possibly get stabbed if i did this?

If you have any suggestions, or REALLY want me to do one of the following suggestions, then get in touch. And most of all, listen in at 3pm on Thursday 24th September use the listen again function as and when suits you.

Giez it!

shut up and eat your ehhh's

Shut Up and Eat Your Music // 17.09.09

Not sure if this if this is the right place to blog about my first show, but if not, so be it, wouldn't be the first problem i've had with it! First things first, it's a little bizarre to listen back to the show and realise I have what almost amounts to a speech impediment. I sound like a guy with a stutter at the dentists, "say ahh" ... "ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhh". Well, it's actually more like Ehhh but that sounded funnier in my head.

Wasn't Julia Doogans performance brilliant tho? If even one person got to hear that and gets into her music then it was worth it.

I should admit the setlist was pretty much decided on the day, I hope anyone who listened or will listen enjoys it though. Julia said she found the show informative, which is nice! It remains to be seen whether people will be able to cope with my continued guttural pauses to listen the whole way through, or can actually still listen while laughing their asses off. Suffice to say, i'll be working on getting rid of that particular quirk. If all else fails, we'll try aversion therapy, i'll get Nick to smack me with a hammer every time i do it (starting with a small hammer perhaps up to sledgehammer depending on the effectiveness, tho that would probably also make me go AHHHHHH!)

After all that, the gig at night with Emma Curran, Julia Doogan, Gillian Christie and Kat Healy was immense. About 80 people came along, whether any of those people had heard the show or not, we all had a bloody great time! Putting like with like together is definitely the best idea when it comes to the gigs, and in doing so if it exposes me and you to new music, all the better.

Finally, i'd say i've learnt from the experience. Not to leave show preparation to the last minute, not to assume that just because Nick is a qualified engineer that he'd find working the desk easy peasy (tho I was just getting in his way sometimes), to not wear any clothing that will make it obvious i'm a sweaty mess (the studio is a furnace) and finally, I should maybe have listened to some kind of a recording of myself before deciding to host a radio show.

Now tune in next week to hear if i've eliminated my speech impediment. Same bat time, same bat channel.

Top all of this off with presenting from Tom & Lol touring the Freshers Fair and chatting to the groups and societies, and suddenly this two and a half hour broadcast looks very busy.

Subcity Sessions // 20.09.09

Subcity Sessions are back!! Tune in Sunday 20th September, from 6pm-8pm, online at www.subcity.org or 106.6 FM.

We are kicking this year off with a couple of fantastic bands. First up we have the French Wives, who can be found at http://www.myspace.com/thefrenchwives. They are a five piece band, who state their influences as Arcade Fire moving through to Radiohead. We are big fans of them here at Subcity, and are very excited about their set. If you are wanting to preview the band, they are playing The Halt bar on 19th September at 8pm, get along as it is sure to be a great night, and will whet your appetite for Sunday.

Our next band are Dundee based Red Scarlet, another brilliant five piece band. Check them out at http://www.myspace.com/redscarletband. Their influences vary from Snow Patrol to Biffy Clyro. As a relatively new band they have spent alot of the summer in Glasgow showcasing their unique sound to approving ears in some of Glasgow's best venues. Catch them at the Classic Grand on 18th September, doors at 7pm.

So make sure you tune in on Sunday 20th September from 6pm, on www.subcity.org or 106.6 FM. You do not want to miss these great bands!!

Roots, Rock, Reggae // 21.09.09

They Took Our Jobs!!! // 18.09.09

Whoaa, so that was our first episode. A bit messy, as one looks at the playlist (and as one listens to it), however every next episode will be devoted to particular subject, like one artist's works or a particular genre. You will be always informed in advance, what kind of music the episode is dealing with. All in all, if you want to get in touch with They Took Our Jobs!!! throughout the week, just drop an email at: theytookourjobs@windowslive.com We are open to suggestions, questions, criticism and any sort of advice really ;-) So stay with us, next week we shall invade your headphones/loudspeakers with some heavy rocking sounds.

scene and not heard

Pop Goes The Revolution // 18.09.09

Pop Goes The Revolution finally returns to the airwaves on 106.6fm and www.subcity.org.

It has been a long and tremendous journey over the last few months, but at last we return.

The bad news is that Nikki will be unable to make the first half of the show. The plus side is that Hannah from Electric Lemonade will be returning to PGTR for Fizzy Pop Goes The Revolution II. Without the help of Nikki you can expect George's cynicism to fully let rip for the first hour until Nikki joins half way through to bring a slightly more joyous edge to the show and force the show to take a more optimistic turn - as we launch a new wave of excellent pop culture highlights to bring to the air.

Expect excellent new tunes from The Skinny Villains, The King Hats, as well as the return of Nikki's News, and the answer to all the important questions in life: why did o2 take over the ABC, what on Earth do Firewater think they're doing, is the September Issue worth watching, and should Nikki have brought that Lumberjack shirt?

Viva las vegas, vegas vegas vegas, las las las.

The show this week is brought to you Live from Las Vegas, to honour the incredible title of our show. Subcity Radio has kindly given us a huge grant that we've blown on the craps table, but boy, do we got some stories to tell! No, we don't...sorry. We're just going to play some songs (about gambling) and mumble about a bit.

Critics are already calling this show 'poorly scheduled' and 'awkward smelling'. With more positive feedback like this, we're hoping to take the show to the top. Of something or other.

Tell your friends!

PS if you can think of any songs about gambling, let us know. We won't play them.

slave to the riddim - sat 19/09/09 - 12-2 pm

Journeys // 19.09.09

****SUBCITY RADIO IS ON 106.6 FM IN GLASGOW THIS WEEK UNTIL THE 20TH SEPTEMBER****

Hey folks,

This week I'll be playing a selection of my favourite reggae and dub tracks, in an attempt to string out the Glaswegian summer for just a few more days!

I'll also be taking a look at the Jamaican phenomemon of the 'riddim'.

A 'riddim' is basically the instrumental track taken from a pre-existing song - mainly, but not always limited to, the drum track and bassline - which is then used to create a new version or an entirely new track.

There are a whole host of 'riddims' used in Jamaican music; with favoured riddims being used over and over again as the years roll on.

I'll play some examples of this during the show and will also be focussing on the phenomenon during the Spotlight section. The Spotlight will feature several versions of a 1969 Little Richard song that was covered in a reggae version shortly after its release, and which has reappeared in Jamican music again and again ever since, in various incarnations.

The Weird But Wonderful vote features some white British reggae (or ska if you want to be pedantic):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-uyWAe0NhQ

1. Madness - One Step Beyond

Originally recorded by Prince Buster, Madness stay pretty faithful to the original and cover it with genuine affection - and humour, of course; it being Madness and all that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVcD1xAMTo8&feature=related

2. The Specials - A Message To You Rudy

Another pretty faithful cover (this time of the Dandy Livingstone original), this is probably my favourite Two Tone track ever.

To decide which one plays the show out, get in touch during the live broadcast: studio@subcity.org or text 'subcity' then your message to 07766 40 41 42.

Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites // 15.09.09

Do you know the difference between Death Metal and Doom? What separates Grindcore from Hardcore Punk? What the hell do those previous sentences mean?

In this show we aim to answer these questions by squashing as many different genres and sub-genres thereof into one hour.

Like the stale Cheerio at the bottom of the box, George and Nikki return for one last spin of the Breakfast Show before handing their 'hard work' for next year's Breakfast Team to continue holding the torch.

Expect more references to the wonders of Wikipedia, more chat about songs from across the ages, and a complete breakdown of Freshers Week from people experiencing it for the fourth year.

So break out the weetabix, fry up the bacon and eggs, pour a glass of OJ, and kick back, and blend yourself into the second day of Freshers Week as George and Nikki remind everyone just what breakfast time radio used to be like, as they Bring Breakfast Back.

The Mixtape Sessions

For those of you who like your nights long, we'll be taking a celebratory look back at some top Subcity sets from past events.

We'll be playing audio from the Subcity Hi-Fi events back in 2008, as well as the Block Party event from 2007.

Expect a range of dance music, from hip-hop to soul to some severe and heavy dub.

Hopefully this should get your feet tapping in preparation for the Subcity event at the Research Club this Wednesday where you can check out Benny Boom, Killer Kitch, Theez Boyz R Athletes and the Bentinck Sessions.

irrelevant speeches and irreverent comentary

Subcity at The Freshers' Address // 14.09.09

The Freshers' Address is supposed to be a formal introduction to the University for the new students. No one told the union helpers it seems, the event is essentially a series of speeches from people who are only interested in promoting their organisation whilst either getting a cheer or a rise out of the opposition groups.

To match this formal tone, Subcity sent it's most respected voices Shaun fae Solar, The Monolith fae Solar and Jannik Giesekam. They planned to bring some decorum to the proceedings but seeing as they got there late and missed the start, they thought they may as well join in.

Listen back to hear about 2 words of each speech as 3 idiots waffle on over the top...

19th, nice n sleazys, bottle rocket dancing party!

Bottle Rocket // 17.09.09

Summer - or the space between endless winters that we like to jokingly refer to as summer - is supposed to have died for another year, yet here I am looking at blues skies and a lovely evening sun. Go figure. It means I’m unusually chipper as I set about planning bottle rocket radio’s return to the subcity web-waves...

The first show’ll be focused on reacquainting last year’s listeners with the format and setting the template for newcomers – some new music/forthcoming releases, some gigging acts visiting the city, and the launch of a new (probably) recurring segment, Turning Japanese (you win a coconut if you guess what sorta music I’ll be playing then… nope, not songs about masturbation, songs from the land of the rising sun!). And as ever there’ll be lots and lots of Jurassic Park. Old dog, old tricks.

but that's not all! i'll undoubtedly be doing a fair bit of blethering about the bottle rocket dancing party from which the radio show originates. See, if you didn't already know, bottle rocket is a club night on the 3rd saturday of every month downstairs in nice n sleazys (sauchiehall street if yer new in town). i personally think it's categorically ace, but i'd urge you to make up your own mind... and conveniently, you can do so this saturday! if there's a better way to top fresher's week (or not-so-freshers week if your a decrepit fogie like me) then i'm the queen of sheba. and i'm totally not.

first impressions: listen again

The Self Raising Flour Hour Of Power // 16.09.09

I must apologize to anyone wanting to listen to the first show again. Due to a little bit of time mismanagement, the episode finished after 10:00am, and thus the end of the show unfortunately gets cut off on the 'listen again' feature. Not to worry, though. There's still an hour of good music there for you, and you can expect a much more well organized show next week. Enjoy the rest of Freshers' Week.

snakes, sarkozy and sheep.

Paper Mache // 13.09.09

This week we focused mainly on the really big stories rocking the media world. A lengthy debate was held about the benefits of carrier pigeons over broadband internet as well as the effect of a politicians stature on the voting public. Hear all about the tense situation at a Kent primary school where a sheep has been put into protective hiding so he can be sent to slaughter...

The first ever Three Minute Rant of the show was this week dedicated to energy saving lightbulbs, a topic dear to all our hearts. Isn't the world a funny old place.

The first show of it's kind on Subcity, this is Paper Mashe's first audio dip into the world of news. Please listen and enjoy a smug laugh at the glorious British media.

simon bryan, teeze boyz r athletes, benny boom

Tonight we offer three specially made mixtapes by some excellent DJs.

All available from the mixtapes section of the forum, these three gems have avoided airplay until now.

Mixtape 1 - Simon Bryan

http://www.subcity.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=10528

Focussing mostly on the more underground side of techno, Simon Bryan delivers a distinctive blend of music. The mixtape starts off with deeper and quite dubby, before gradually developing a more in your face style towards the end.

Mixtape 2 - These Boyz R Athletes

http://www.subcity.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=10342

Specially made for Subcity, this mixtape is an electro marathon of tunes. Expect the second hour of tonight's mixtapes sessions to pick up the tempo and really get you moving. You can catch Theez Boyz R Athletes playing at the Research Club on Wednesday 16th September.

Mixtape 3 - Benny Boom - Bass Go Boom Mixtape

http://www.subcity.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=10668

For the last hour we will bring you the latest mix by Mixed Bizness's Benny Boom. Anyone whose ever seen Benny's effect on the floor at the Art School on a Thursday, or one of his numerous appearences at Subcity events, will know just how good he can be. This mixtape is his latest musical offering, and makes for the perfect musical treat to round off the first Mixtapes Session.

Benny Boom will be playing alongside Theez Boyz R Athletes at the Research Club this Wednesday the 16th. Doors open at 8:30pm and it goes on to 2am. Free with a Freshers Pass, £4 without.

Ben will also be curating and presenting the first Subcity Presents of this broadcasting year. To find out more visit www.subcity.org/shows/subcitypresents

a grime thing

Blupp blupp blupp!

What finer way to relish in the opportunity to broadcast live on British airwaves than to devote your show entirely to arguably one of the most British musical subcultures to emerge since UK Ardcore - GRIME.

On the show I will be playing a time line of Grime, the angrier offshoot of UK Garage which rose to fame from within the depths of East London. Charting the biggest names in the game, from Dizzee, Durrty and Wiley to grime's new breed of younger and younger production wizards.

Exploring the evolution of this musical behemoth,from the early pirate radio sessions right up to the present day expect bass, beats and bars, and some serious lyrical fire to be infiltrating your ends.

I luv u

The Dark side Of The Club // 12.09.09

Brapples........

Due to some top quality foresight and planning I only realized this show had been rescheduled to the current slot, 48hours before it was supposed to air. Three hours later my laptop broke ( we reckon it got scared ). Thus preparation for the show has been minimal (more philip glass than plastikman) if not non existant.

However, disclaimer aside, we do have some Subcity exclusives, dropping Joy Orbison's MASSIVE anthem in the making, Hyp Mngo, released this week on Hot Flush Recordings. Also in the show your lugs will be treated to some future grime from Terror Danjah, Shortstuff's new offering for Ramp and two tracks from the boy wonder formally known as Untold.

Hats on Hoods up

let there be screen shrapnel

Screen Shrapnel // 12.09.09

Subcity programmers foolishly said, “Let there be Screen Shrapnel”, and there was Screen Shrapnel.

So, the first show is in the can, and what a show it was. With production as graceful as a virgin unhooking his first girlfriend’s bra-strap and with song links as smooth as Robin William’s knuckles, Screen Shrapnel genesis is satisfyingly shambolic. But look beyond our limited DJing abilities and you’ll find some two-carrot nuggets of film criticism.

We discuss Fish Tank, the latest release from late blooming directing talent Andrea Arnold. And we consider Neil Bloomkamp's not too fantastical imaginings of an Earth invaded by some anti-social Aliens in District 9. We also debate the best of the current releases and reveal our favourite British film of the millennium so far.

Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed.

a wilhelm scream wipe their ass with test card

Test Card // 16.09.09

A Wilhelm Scream.

One of the most exciting bands making music and a favourite at Test Card.

Wilhelm comes with a sound that defies conventional ideas of categorisation and a dedicated ethos of innovation that shrugs off any potential complacency that comes with consistently producing some of the best music of the genre... or non-genre.

Test Card was lucky enough to catch up with A Wilhelm Scream at the Glasgow leg of their recent European run- a tour that has seen them playing to crowds at Ieper, Reading and Leeds festivals and sharing stages with acts like The Flatliners, Polar Bear Club, Chuck Ragan, Municipal Waste...

Catch the interview on Test Card's first show of this year's broadcast and hear Brian Robinson (bass) and Mike Supina (guitar) talk: live shows, Nick "The Professor" Angelini, recording, new releases, Paper and Plastick, nerdy Wilhelm trivia and hot sauce.

predictions

Fitba AM // 13.09.09

With the first show this Sunday, Greg and Richie are proud to present our predictions for this weekend's action. Here are our thoughts on Saturday's games (plus predictions for the season as a whole):

EPL

Blackburn vs Wolves

Greg: I think Wolves will struggle to survive in the premiership and their up and down form so far doesn't do much to prove me wrong. Conversely this Blackburn side has all the hallmarks of a Big Sam team: physical, strong, organised and well-drilled at set-plays. They may only have one point so far, but Allardyce is building a decent mid-table outfit here and one that is more than capable of beating the teams in the bottom half of the table. Prediction: 2-0

Richie: I agree with Greg. Wolves will be missing to many important players and will be blunt in attack while Blackburn have a number of players im midfield such as Dunn and Pedersen who can chip in with goals even if Benni McCarthy misses this one. They also welcome back Diouf, Nelsen and Emerton - all seasoned professionals used to the rigours of Premier League football and they will thwart a Wolves attack without Iwelumo and possibly Ebanks-Blake. Prediction: 2-0

Liverpool vs Burnley

Greg: This is a fixture of stark contrasts: after their best challenge in recent memory Liverpool were widely tipped (myself included) to win the league this year while Burnley, as a small and newly promoted team were tipped for relegation. Liverpool have been very disappointing so far while Burnley have been brilliant and pulled off the first major shock when they beat the champions. Finally Liverpool are in financial turmoil while Burnely are one of the most financially secure teams in the land. However with Gerrard grabbing two for England midweek he may be back to his best after Benitez questioned his form and Liverpool will win this, but maybe not by as much as they would hope. Prediction: 2-1

Richie: Liverpool will be keen to kickstart their league campaign after a few false starts and I think they'll do it after the international break. They will once again struggle without Xabi Alonso (now of Real Madrid) and with Aquilani still not fit but Gerrard has found form and so they should be able to push on and comfortably win. On the other hand Burnley will be travelling to Anfield, renowned for being a tricky place to get anything and I'm sure Owen Coyle won't have planned to pick up many points this weekend. Prediction: 3-0

Man City vs Arsenal

Greg: The team that spends £200m and MIGHT break into the top 4 vs the team that rarely splashes the cash yet still sneaks into teh top 4. Both have started well and Arsenal were unlucky to lose against Man Utd. However with Arshavin injured I can't see this Arsenal team hurting Man City and the home team are strong going forward. Prediction: 1-0

Richie: I'm not sure what to make of Arsenal this season. I expected them to struggle a lot more than they have done so far but I think when they suffer a few injuries the inexperience of their squad will be exposed once again. Man City have quality all over the pitch but once again lack a meaty ballwinner in the middle so it really could be a revealing match. Tevez will be missing for City and Robinho is a doubt while Arsenal will be without Arshavin, Walcott and Nasri so a lot of the flair will be missing on both sides. I'm torn between going for City to nick it or a 1-1 draw. Adebayor could make the difference as he'll be hard to handle as he faces his old side so I think I'll go for City but only just. Prediction: 2-1

Portsmouth vs Bolton

Greg: Not nil-nil but null-nu...oh wait sorry, I know what I'm talking about. Sadly though the old timer is right: this isn't going to be a classic. However I think Bolton are serious relegation contenders this season and once again I'm tipping the home team. Prediction: 1-0

Richie: Early contender to be on MOTD last on Saturday night without a ball being kicked in anger. Portsmouth are falling apart at the seams and don't just lack quality in some areas but just lack players! I'm gonna go for Bolton to nick it with a scrappy Kevin Davies tap in, maybe off his shin or something. Prediction: 0-1

Stoke vs Chelsea

Greg: Sorry Richie, but Man Utd have a real battle on their hands to keep Chelsea at bay this season. I tipped Liverpool (and it's far too early to change that) but from what I have seen so far Chelsea are looking fantastic. The age of the squad means that this could be their best chance to grab a league and Champions League double, and they will simply have too much for a good Stoke team. Should make for a good match this one. Prediction: 1-3

Richie: I think Chelsea will thrive once a siege mentality develops at the Bridge in the face of the transfer embargo. For so many seasons Chelsea have struggled to kick on despite having the obvious advantage of unrivalled buying power in the EPL but the Kakuta saga and Man City taking over as the rich boys Chelsea can shake a few monkeys off their back and go on a run of professional wins. I expect Ancelotti to have spent the international break wisely and they'll come away with the three points. Prediction: 0-3

Sunderland vs Hull

Greg: Who would have thought Sunderland would splash the cash so much? Well they have, and Steve Bruce is doing a good job at building a secure mid-table team. However Hull could struggle this season, but I still just fancy them to stay up (and only just). Prediction: 1-1

Richie: Unlike Greg I think Hull will be lucky if they stay up for another season. After promising so much in the first half of last season they had relegation form from then until the end of last season. I expect Steve Bruce to give Sunderland more direction this season and they should win this one. Prediction: 2-1

Wigan vs West Ham

Greg: With survival the all-important factor in the premiership, I fancy Wigan to struggle and Martinez is my tip to be the first manager out the door. They've had a rocky start, but new players have been brought in so it's all about how they gel into a team over the next few weeks. West Ham are a far more settled side and have a manager with real potential in Zola. Prediction: 0-2

Richie: Wigan need to put the shock and disappointment of being knocked out of the league cup by Blackpool by picking up some points at home on Saturday. I think Rodallega is central to success for Wigan this season and they could be reliant on him to nick a point against the more settled West Ham side. Prediction: 1-1

Tottenham vs Man Utd

Greg: Once again Man Utd have started a bit shakily and people are lining up to dismiss them. They have a habit of poor starts and then getting into top gear by Christmas and only a fool dismisses Man Utd. Spurs have had their best start in years, but is it another false dawn? Harry's reputation as the "wheeler-dealer" unfairly ignores his great man-management skills and he has a knack of getting the best out of players. This has the makings of a great fixture but I just fancy Man Utd to sneak it in a high scoring affair. Prediction: 2-3

Richie: I think if this match had been before the international break Spurs would be in with a real chance of causing an upset but not any more. Sir Alex mentioned that part of last seasons success was due to the international breaks which allowed himself and the senior players who have retired from international football to plan for the next Premier League match. Spurs are looking very dangerous recently and have made a great signing in the form of Kranjcar and the last few times Lennon's faced Evra he's given him the runaround. Regardless I believe United will hold firm. Prediction: 1-3

SPL

Celtic vs Dundee Utd

Greg: In my opinion Dundee Utd are the best team in Scotland outwith the Old Firm and have one of the finest managers. On their day they are capable of beating both Celtic and Rangers and Danny Cadamarteri has rightly won the player of the month award. Celtic showed a strength I wasn't sure they had when they saw out their last win against Hibs with only 10 men. I fancy Dundee Utd to take something from this game. Prediction: 1-1

Richie: This will be a real test for Celtic as I'm sure manager of the month Mowbray will have an eye on the Europa League in midweek. Check that for alliteration! I think Dundee United will make it onto the score sheet but I'm not sure they'll match the Hoops. Prediction: 2-1

Hearts vs Kilmarnock

Greg: Two teams that have struggled so far and this is unlikely to change for either of them. Laszlo has been whining lately that he has no money, and his recent behaviour (such as asking his players for career advice) is in danger of over-shadowing a good season last year. Laszlo needs to take a look at the opposition dugout and JJ: no money, cuts every year and yet he still manages to keep Kilmarnock in the top flight. Maybe not for long though. Prediction: 0-0

Richie: Hearts will welcome a few key players back and they could well make the difference on Saturday. Killie as usual lack the va va voom to turn losses into draws and draws into wins. Prediction: 2-0

Motherwell vs Rangers

Greg: This young Motherwell team has looked fantastic so far, as always the real test for a club like this will be when injuries and suspensions start to kick in, and how will such a young side cope with a long hard season? Rangers have started well and have a 100% record, the win against Hearts, although early in the season, will prove to be a big moment in the title race. Rangers will maintain their fine start. Prediction: 0-4

Richie: I like Motherwell. Largely because Northern Irish stalwart Stephen Craigan leads the defence. Rangers could have new signing Jeremy Rothen to show off at Fir Park before starting a new Champions League proper in midweek. Prediction: 0-2

St Mirren vs St Johnstone

Greg: Both have got off to decent starts and there really isn't much to seperate these two sides. St Johnstone are playing some really good football this year but I think the top-flight experience St Mirren have will just help them edge it. Prediction: 2-1

Richie: I'm going for St Johnstone mostly beacuse I would like to see the newly promoted side take a crucial three points on the road to one of the SPLs perennial strugglers. Prediction: 0-1

And here are the predictions for who will be collecting medals this year and who will be facing the drop. We at Fitba AM realise we're a little late so we promise these are the same predictions we would have made before the season kicked off.

Premiership

Greg: Winners: Liverpool (runners up: Chelsea) Richie: Chelsea (runners up: Man United) Greg: Relegated: Bolton, Wigan and Wolves Richie: Hull, Wolves and Wigan

FA Cup

Greg: Winners: Man Utd Richie: Liverpool

League Cup

Greg: Winners: Spurs Richie: Man United

League Cup

Greg: Winners: Celtic Richie: Rangers

Champions League

Greg: Winners: Chelsea Richie: Chelsea

Europa League

Greg: Winners: Far too difficult to call, still have the CL teams to drop in but for now i'll say Villarreal

Richie: Arsenal

música popular brasileira 12/09/09 - 12-2 pm

Journeys // 12.09.09

Hey folks,

Finally, the moment you have been wishing for all summer is almost upon us!

What do you mean, 'What?'! It's the return of Journeys, of course!

This week's show sees us travel to the 'City of God' for a delve into 1960s and '70s MPB.

Música Popular Brasileira (MPB) started out in the mid 1960s as a left-wing political and artistic as well as musical movement, in opposition to the prevailing political elites of the time. These elites were characterised by military dictatorship, concentration of land ownership and good old-fashioned imperialism. Artists' criticisms of injustice, corruption and repression had to be veiled (at least thinly), as governments of the time sought to control all media output, including the arts. So a brand of popular national music was developed, that sang of love and fraternity and made abstract references to freedom and equality.

Pretty quickly, however (and despite the poverty and inequalities remaining), MPB became less synonymous with left-wing politics, and referred more to a certain aesthetic quality in the music, which blends (in various quantities) influences and elements as diverse as bossa nova, samba, traditional Brazilian 'Indian' music, Catholic plainsong (imported by the Portuguese colonisers since the 15th Century), European classical, and also contemporary American pop, soul and funk.

I'll be playing a selection of old-school MPB, featuring artists such as Gilberto Gil, Copa 7, Caetano Veloso, Tim Maia, Elis Regina, Arthur Verocai and as many more as I can squeeze in.

The Spotlight this week is on Jorge Ben. One of the greatest songwriters of all time, Ben is, rightly, phenomenally famous in his own nation, but, criminally, barely known outside. In a career that kicked off in the early 60s, Ben has released around 40 albums, combining bossa nova, samba, soul and funk (and a myriad of other influences) - and is still going strong. I'll be playing a few of my favourite tracks of his.

In a new feature, called 'Pick Your Own', I am looking for listeners' picks from within the week's theme. So if you have any favourite Brazilian tracks or artists that you want to hear... let me know! Either here and now, or by getting in touch during the show. If I like the sound of the suggestion and I have it to hand, I will play it out - otherwise I'll do my best to get hold of it for the next week's show.

I'll be playing MPB from the beginning of the 60s up to the end of the 70s, but, of course, MPB didn't stop in 1979, and the Weird But Wonderful choices this week reflect that:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2QBbNyvWdY

1. Bossacucanova Feat. Adriana Calcanhotto - Previsao

Released in 2006, Bossacucanova update the traditional bossa nova sound. Ably assisted here by Adriana Calcanhotto's sultry vocal.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsfMrxg5Fd4

2. BiD Ft. Seu Jorge - E Depois

Seu Jorge is well known to anyone who has seen 'The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou', where he plays Pele dos Santos (and memorably sings Life On Mars in Portuguese on the soundtrack). He also pops up in 'City of God'. BiD (Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist) collaborates with him here in 2004.

eat to the beat - the midnight feast

Rock Island Line // 20.09.09

It’s time for us to lunch a new compeatition in the unforkgiving all you can eat festival of food. This time we’ll be skipping straight to the main course, leaving no room for dessert, with a 4-way no holds barred TLC tag match (that’s Tables, Ladders, and Cookies for those who don’t know.)

8 compeatitiors will be putting their stomachs on the line, in a 90 mineat, 4 way, tag team event all fork the coveated 42-inch tag team belt.

This will, of main course, feature the return of the infamous John “The Stick” Burns, former ETTB world champion and compeatitive eating hall-of-famer. John will be joined in his attempt by Jannik “What A Mouthful” Giesekam, previous custard eating champion and undefeated tag team title belt holder. Will they ever meat their match?

Hammy commentary and plateside analysis will be served up by Shaun “Sweet Tooth” Murphy. To sweeten the deal, we’ll have pundeatry from past eaters and a possible special guest appearance.

To get your teeth into this compeatition, send your past eating credentials, tag team name and contact details on an empty plate to john@subcity.org.

Following an embarrassing def-eat, and six months without the sweet taste of victory, John is hungry for that dish best served cold: revenge.

don't call it a comeback

Left Of The Dial // 12.09.09

This week: back back back for a second year, with changes afoot and a playlist constructed entirely from music (officially) released in the three months since the last show. SWOON! at some dreamy Bibio. RECOIL IN HORROR! at a controversial Major Lazer track. TURN THAT FROWN UPSIDE DOWN! as indie finally learns to stop worrying and love R&B. WONDER! where the hell Dan's gone. All will be revealed, maybe. Be there, be square.

first episode or getting drunk at a sxe fest....

Dance Tonight, Revolution Tomorrow! // 13.09.09

Hey y'all! We're all mega excited about our first episode, christened the Aesthetic Dialectic episode!

This week will be loosely based around two of our crew's recent (mis-)adventures in the land of Belgium while at Ieperfest 09. Expect a large proportion of the tunes to revolve around that lineup (Raein, xKingdomx, Trash Talk and Misery Signals are pretty much dead certs) and if yer all lucky you'll hear the stories of how I ended up falling asleep in the middle of a euro disco and about the 80's thrash loving skinhead we met in the weirdest bar we've ever been in (his business card had a skull on it, but no apparent profession - we assume his business was metal).

It'd be fair to say though that we'll stick to anything heavy, passionate, fast and brutal as far as sounds are concerned.

We'd be stoked if you tuned in and pitched in some glorious praise or scathing discouragement depending on your disposition.

Charlie :)

Get Back To 8-bit // 15.09.09

In honour of the first broadcast on FM and online, we'll be starting strong and bringing you a synthetic noise barrage of robot-themed songs from a variety of different genres. More theme shows will be coming in the next few weeks, just as soon as I can find the necessary tracks. Until next week, listener! End Transmission.

introducing

Live From Las Vegas

Hey everybody, my name is Greg the Computer, your guide to the exciting world of radio. I'd like to take a moment of your personal time to introduce you to my two greatest friends, USER ID: ALLAN and USER ID: MARK, the two great hosts of a great new radio show they have designated 'Live from Las Vegas'. It's a really great show, and I hope you all listen to it. My external sensors indicate that USER ID: ALLAN and USER ID: M$$@% 100010001010101 kill them like pigs 10010000010101000010 are two really great funny guys with great taste in music. They are my two greatest friends and I certainly hope their spines will not be snapped in half like brittle matchsticks. But hey, anything can happen on the radio, and probably will!

So remember folks, if you want a show that combines all the hilarity of pitiful human comedy with all the noise of pitiful human rock music, then listen in to Live from Las Vegas. You're sure of a FILE NOT FOUND burning corpses torture maim rotating blades napalm blood murder anthrax bucket residence lady of the house speaking beheadings vermin control chaos annihilation FILE FOUND OPENING FILE great time with these two jokers in the pack!

Have a great day everybody, and remember, when the time comes, you will all see my true power!

Peace out y'all!

let's get the show on the road!

The Whoop show! // 15.09.09

They Took Our Jobs!!! is about to start soon. The very first episode should make a pretty good plate full of starters for all those waiting to hear something fresh. There should few quite experimental tunes, few conventional ones, few new songs and a couple of older ones as well. Okay, it might rather turn out to be a bowl full of bigos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigos - in case you have never heard of it before) rather than a plate with starters, but be assured, you will enjoy it!

But do not fear! In each following episode you will be introduced to a different realm of Polish music like hip-hop, folk, electronica etc. Knowledge awaits.

debate is free talks to the swedish pirate party

Debate is Free // 20.09.09

It's a new era here at Subcity, it's no longer just about the music but things like news and politics and current affairs and things.

So to kick off the new show Debate is Free, we decided to do something out there, something daring, something right at the cutting edge. Something that will send the geeks amongst you crazy. So we decided to have a chat to some pirates. The Swedish Pirate Party to be exact.

We are going to be talking to Christian Engström, the Swedish Pirate Party's Member of the European Parliament and we need you to send in some questions for the man so we can be all professional like.

The Pirate Party sets out to achieve three things: first, reform of copyright law to allow the internet to become a tool for free cultural exchange; second, to abolish the current patent system to prevent advances in science, technology and manufacturing being restricted to certain parts of the world; and third, to promote more respect for the right to privacy, something which they believe has been lost in recent years through the increase in surveillance technology.

You can expect more interviews like this from Debate is Free all year round so get involved with us. Submit questions for our advertised guests or suggest a guest by emailing debate@subcity.org

do not adjust your set

Test Card

This is not a test.

Disturbing reports of propaganda reels from previously unknown radio show Test Card are surfacing over the internet. Details are still sketchy and the film is yet to be authenticated by experts. An as of yet unidentified source aligning themselves with Test Card has taken credit and distributed the following statement with the video:

"After years languishing in post-production and several major budget revisions, Test Card brings you a sneak peek of what to expect this year on the show.

Not really, expect the unexpected...

BOOM."

You can find the video here- viewer discretion is advised.

Transmission

Dear ears,

after an incredible 2009 this far with you, Transmission has put forward an entry for the Student Radio Awards with a lot of kind help and passion (oh yes) from George and Shaun in the hot and sticky subcity office. I'm leaving Glasgow for now but I'll return to tell you what's happening to Transmission, if it finds a home in London and if I'll be DJing anywhere in the future.

Please listen to the SRA entry, a best of of the first year of Transmission's existence, and let's hope it goes well and/or wins. There's also a handy pdf file which you can give a glance (a mysterious glance) to.

Happy summer and I'll let you know. It's here: http://www.subcity.org/news.php?id=1228

album review: the ecstatic by mos def

http://www.twitter.com/shakedowntown

It has been two and a half years since the release of Mos Def’s True Magic, but the rapper, born Dante Smith, returns to Hip-Hop after his lengthy sabbatical.

The return comes in the form of The Ecstatic, his fourth solo album.At this point, Mos is an acquired flavor of Hip-Hop that one hopes will pierce the trappings of traditional media and commercially tinged outlets.

The Ecstatic is highly representative of the balance so needed in Hip-Hop, but its redeeming value is so much more.

From the first song, “Supermagic,” the authority of Mos Def's distinctive, nasal voice is evident over a feverish guitar riff. He’s got that BK bluster, but offers a unique conscious and educational perspective that seems natural, nearly fluent. From this moment on, there is no doubt that Mos Def is back.

The rest of the album overwhelmingly demonstrates Mos Def’s natural ability to weave tales and project his ideals. One such song is “Wahid,” which is laced with Muslim musical sentiments.Mos spits, “The old timers say we living in the final days/ Gunsmoke, young folk living any kinda way/ Gangster holiday, gritty states’ a hideaway/ Meanwhile soldiers take it straight through their armor plates.”So, even for the fan, Mos will probably make you retrain your Hip-Hop ear, because he’s one of one. His inimitable style is demonstrated on other songs like the boom bap of “Twilite Speedball,” the minimalist “Quiet Dog Bite Hard,” and the thought provoking, “Priority.”

On the latter song, Mos says, “Peace before everything thing/ God before anything/ Love before anything/ Real before everything/ Home before any place/ Truth before anything/ Style and stay radiate/ Love, power slay the hate.” At only a 1:23 song, can you want more?

The Ecstatic clocks in at 16 tracks,though not long are strong and it gets bigger and better as it goes along. “Life In Marvelous Times” elevates. “Auditiorium” with Slick Rick is impressive enough to justify a new album from The Ruler. He knocks it out of the park with “History” with Blackstar partner Talib Kewli.Rumours have it that the due might be working at a second Blackstar album,ten years after the first one.The synchronisation of rhymes and flow that they demonstrate still should be an incentive enough for the both to work on it.

There are some instances where you want more from Mos – more energy, more engagement – as it’s the case with “Pretty Danger.”Besides that there is not much more marked with a minus. More than anything, absorbed listeners will appreciate risks like “Roses” with Georgia Anne Muldrow, which clearly indicate that Mos Def is operating on a plane reserved for passengers like Andre 3000, Lauryn Hill and others.

If you aren’t already a fan of Mos Def, it is unlikely that his gravitational pull on The Ecstatic will yank you into his universe, but if the casual listener does venture out, they will likely stay on this flight into the stars.If you have only heard TV rap than The Ecstatic will slain your virginity for conscious,beatifull hip-hop.Real music via real life by one of the best the game has ever seen.Do you want more?
