Playlist Mix #54 - 19 Apr 2009

Playlist Mix #54

Sundays come around too regularly at this stage of the proceedings. We’re just off two back-to-back short weeks, or at least I think they were back-to-back short weeks anyway as the days appear to be flying. We hit the 19th of April for 2009 and the 54th Playlist Mix podcast. While next week’s show is going to feature a selection (says he in hope) of Northern Irish acts, this week sees a blend of tracks from Ireland with some of the featured acts for the month along with talent from …

Playlist Mix 53 featuring Hero In Error

Sunday rolls right ’round again so it’s time for another helping of the Playlist Mix. It’s also Easter Sunday here (and pretty much everywhere else for that matter), time to stuff yourself with chocolate, enjoy an extra day or two out of the office and generally chill out. That’s what’s been happening here in the past few days, a lot of chilling out. It might also be worth mentioning again at this time that if you’re not already following the Playlist Mix on Twitter, now might be a good time to do so. Regular listeners will know I wear all kinds of musical hats, but one particular startup I’m involved in has built up a nice collection of CDs to give away to listeners of the podcast and followers on Twitter - if you’re not in, you can’t win, so follow us here today.

This week’s mix features tracks from

  1. Hundred Year Storm - ‘Look To The Skys’
  2. Star Crossed Enemies - ‘Imagine Me As I Am’
  3. Pearse McGloughlin (Walkperson) - ‘Partings Day One’
  4. Max Greenwood - ‘Faces In The Water’
  5. The Velodrome - ‘Fascination On Easter Sunday’
  6. Hero In Error - ‘Under My Sky’

Until next week and show 54,

Enjoy.

  2. ODi - What You Deserve
  3. Ilya K - She’s Got The Loneliest Eyes (In The World)

Playlist Mix 51

We’re trucking on past the 50 mark and bring you Playlist Mix 51 with another six tracks from another six fine acts. Outside of the music world it’s been a great weekend here in Ireland - United lost, Chelsea lost, Liverpool hammered Aston Villa, Ireland won the Grand Slam, Bernard Dunne took a world boxing title so the podcast comes to you this weekend on a bit of a high.

I also made it along to the launch gig for Myp Et Jeep’s Blood Is Not Enough debut album release in Kilkenny tonight, the album hitting the shops this coming weekend, so there’s a track for you there in tonight’s mix.

All in all you’ve got music from

  1. The Aftermath - All I Want Is For You To Be Happy
  2. Reemo - Turn
  3. Deerfoot - Hyperion
  4. The Lions Mane - DNA 4
  5. 4D Model - Rethink
  6. Myp Et Jeep - Beware Of Sound

Next week’s podcast comes from Amsterdam, should be an interesting one. If you want to get in touch, drop me a line on Twitter or via email to podcast@playlistmix.com.

Until next week,

The fiftieth (five-oh) podcast hits the web a few hours later than expected, but in making up for it, there’s an addition nine (count em) tracks for you as the Playlist Mix marks its fiftieth show with fifteen tracks for your listening pleasure. Tied up in the mix this week is a healthy balance of acts from Ireland, the UK and US. There’s also a lot less chatter this week as it can be tricky (as one finds out) in cramming fifteen tracks into an hour of listening - oh the fun that was had in coming up with the mix last night! Actually, looking back at the mix, the Irish have the serious advantage here with 11 of 15 tracks coming from homegrown acts.

Don’t forget to check out the four featured bands for this month - The Very Most, The Funeral Suits, Serial Twin and Heritage Centre.

The playlist for this week brings tracks from

  1. Hybrasil - We’ve Got Music
  2. God Blind Scientists - Talk Of The Town
  3. Gum - Can’t Tell A Heart
  4. Nell Bryden - Late Night Call
  5. Rilo Kiley - With Arms Outstretched
  6. Ian Whitty & The Exchange - City Friend
  7. Super Extra Bonus Party - Everything Flows
  8. Tenaka - Open Up
  9. Flinders - Corners First, Middle Later
  10. Serial Twin - Burn It All
  11. Mumblin’ Deaf Ro - The Hero Is A Graduate
  12. Vesta Varro - Blue Mirror Boy
  13. Dirty Epics - The Cure
  14. New York Fashion Week - Dear Spartacus
  15. Myp Et Jeep - Enough Is Enough

Until next week and show 51, enjoy the Playlist Mix. If you want to drop me a line, please do, you can email podcast@playlistmix.com or follow Playlist Mix on Twitter.

Playlist Mix 49 featuring Darragh J Glennon

Aha, the 49th Playlist Mix podcast has landed. Sure enough, we’ve another six acts and another six tracks including a second one from featured band for February, The Funeral Suits, and a new one from Donegal-based Pavesi who you’ll be able to catch gigging in Dublin at the end of the month. Hitting show 49 means there’s one podcast to go before the 50th, a nice milestone to hit considering where it all started and how long it took to get things going!

Don’t forget you can also follow the podcast on Twitter by visiting http://twitter.com/playlistmix or by dropping over to the Playlist Mix MySpace.

This week’s tracks include

That’s it for another week. As of last week you can also pick the podcast up on the Blubrry network, something I’m happy now to be a part of and hope it will continue to raise the profile of the podcast.
