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!

DICE Podcast - Episode 6 SCS

SoundCloud Song

This post I decided on not so much of a song but more a particularly interesting podcast. Specifically The DICE Podcast episode 6. In this episode, the brilliant Jen Long (below) takes the trip to Australia to go to the Laneway Festival. She talks with East India Youth, a chap from Health and one of the creators of the festival: St. Jerome. The festivals history is it started way back in 2005 and in a similar way to festivals like The Vans Warped Tour, they take the artists around to different cities each week to perform. The festival has finished for this year but by the sounds of it, it was a pretty magical time had by all. Looking at the line up I would take the trip to see Fidlar and Chvrches alone and just go where the wind takes me for the rest of the festival becasue there are so many good bands playing. Laneway currently runs mainly around Australia with spots in Detroit and Singapore but I hope great festivals like this get the support they deserve and continue to get better and better. Amazing podcast which I hope you take the time to listen to. Enjoy!

Maccabees Podcast et more.

I'm not sure how new this is but I've just finished listening to a podcast released by The Maccabees. They basically play a bunch of great songs that they are currently interested in and listening to during the production of their new album. They play a mixture of old and new tracks, a bit of Tom Petty, a new track by I Am Kloot which was new to me but I really enjoyed it. They also played some hip hop tracks that I didn't know, I got a along with them but don't remember what they were called. I have a great memory lol. So if you have a spare hour and a half give it a listen, who knows, you may find your new favourite track.

I have also recently subscribed to the Mike Harding podcast in which he plays a variety of folk music. I used to listen to the show on BBC radio 2 but I sort of fell out of the routine of tuning in so I'm looking forward to getting back into it.

One of my favorite podcasts has to be The Guardians Music Weekly with Alexis Petridis. Its such a laugh to listen to. You feel like it's just a couple of mates chatting away, it's so friendly and I also like the interviews they have. They are generally with really interesting people.

There is so much out there, it's just finding the time to listen to it all.
