Wichita Recordings - July Podcast SCS

This initially may seem like a grab bag of tracks and a bit of an easy way out instead of picking just one standout song, but after you listen to this months release of the Wichita Recordings Podcast you will hopefully realise it is so much more. They pack the best of the best tracks from their signed artists like the immense cover of The Night done by Frankie & The Heartstrings, Globelamp, Fidlar and many more plus a great little interview with the talented Meg Bairdwhich inspired me to hear more of her work (incredible). It was also really satisfying to hear a bit of Los Campesinos again before their imminent album release. So if you can spare an hour, give this a listen. Enjoy!

Brit Awards 2016 Results

Well the Brit Awards are now over again for another year, prizes have been handed out, songs have been performed and acceptance speeches have been dryly extracted from grateful winners. And I hope you readers remember in mid January I tried to make predictions of who will will and who I would want to win. Even giving myself 2 chances on each category I ended up with a dismal score of 3 out of 10. I am the most surprised at how Justin Bieber beat Kendrick and even Drake to win International Male Solo Artist when their work quality has been so widely known for brilliance. Perhaps I should quit my dreams of being a great psychic but I don't want to leave on a downbeat note so here is a classic British track to end on in honour to the Brits. Enjoy!
