Monday, Monday – six more tracks, on the countdown to the weekend already and it’s only the beginning of the week. This week’s mix brings a blend of rock and dance with tracks coming from

• Plinth – Vascanagina
• Rhino39 – Why
• Atomic Hoarsebox – Calvita
• Antiqcool – Girl In A Room
• Evibe – Rebyrth
• Sensual Harassment – Daddy Long Legs

In particular, check out the tracks from Plinth and Sensual Harassment along with the mystery-machine-esque sounds of Calvita from Atomic Hoarsebox.

Getting your tracks into the podcast is easy with submissions obviously preferred now over Soundcloud (given the ease of the service) to email, but if you want to email in anything you can drop a line to podcast [at] playlistmix.com. You can also follow the podcast on Twitter here.

Hopefully I’ll have two more podcasts squeezed out between now and friday as I’m away on holidays next weekend for a bit. For those of you in Dublin (that’s a good gathering of Irish podcasters), I’ll see you at the Irish Web Awards in the Radisson this coming Saturday night.

Until next week,

Enjoy the mix.

For the final podcast for September, this is the 58th Playlist Mix. It’s been a fun week so far – if you saw the post from Sunday, the nominations for the 2009 Irish Web Awards are out and the Playlist Mix has been included in the shortlist running along with the creme of Irish podcasts, music, business and otherwise.

Also a special mention for Devious Theatre who have been included in the shortlist – their production of The War Of The Worlds, available as a podcast download from DeviousTheatre.com, is in the running this Friday night for a PPI Radio Award for Best Drama, so fingers crossed for them on that front.

On to the tracks for this week, another six acts with some new music for you from

1. Cary Kanno – Make It Through
2. I Am Three – Nostalgia
3. Omega Vague – Wonder
4. Uber Glitterati – Little Chances
5. Leaving Richmond – And Now We Stand Up
6. I Am Not Left Handed – Everybody Sleeps

Later in the year PLM will be hooking up with a new music resource called Rewind for an extension to the podcast (a couple of bonus podcasts each month), more on that in October. If you want to get a track submitted to the podcast don’t forget that you can use the dropbox to submit an MP3, drop an email to podcast AT playlistmix DOT com or find us here on Facebook and Twitter.

It’s a cold Monday night in Kilkenny as the 57th Playlist Mix hits the web. There’s a guest in the studio too, staying quiet for the moment; there’s music from Ireland, Iceland, Switzerland, the US… and for us it’s three-in-a-row for the start of the Autumn season.

Of course, it is Monday, that note highlighted thanks to the return the NFL. We (we as in Ken) got away with it last year but with the season returning, there’s a new blog on the horizon in the form of FirstDown.ie (check First Down on Twitter). So with Sunday night action taking centre stage for the month, we’re on a Monday night buzz for September. But that’s the joy of the web, yes?

On to the music, this week’s tracks include

1. Olafur Arnalds – Fok
2. Saving J – Everybody
3. Clive Barnes – Shotgun Grin
4. Herring Bones – Box Shaped Heart
5. Spank The Chemical Christians – A Plague Of Swine
6. Kwest feat. Anna – Graber (Radio Edit)

If you want to get in touch, find us on Twitter, drop us an email, or post a track in the drop box at Soundcloud.com.

That’s it for 57, back next weekend for 58.

Show 56 rolls around in a timely Monday fashion. Timely in the sense that it matches up with last Monday’s podcast release, albeit a day off the calendar. If you missed it during the week as well the podcast release schedule for the remainder of 2009 has been posted, at long last.

We’re still on the look out to get 100 fans via Facebook – think you can help? Pop along to the Playlist Mix Podcast Facebook page and help us on our way to 100. When we get there we’re gonna give away a couple of the albums that have been stacking up on the desk over the summer months (including a huge box of discs from Irish and UK acts).

If you want to make a submission for the 57th podcast, you’ve got until midnight this coming Thursday night to do so. You can submit your tracks via email to podcast [at] playlistmix [dot] com, or use the Soundcloud Dropbox to send us on a track. If you’re emailing in, don’t forget to include your MySpace / Bebo / Facebook / iTunes URL (whatever you’ve got), a brief biography and of course your music in MP3 format (WMA’s won’t be accepted, sorry Windows Media lovers).

On with the mix for this week…

• 835 – Shame It
• Loomis & The Lust – Bright Red Chords
• Heritage Centre – Your Leaders Are Dead

Can you believe it’s actually here? Show 55 has been sitting on the desk for ages. Then of course, you realise that the news is irrelevant, the gigs have already happened and while the music should get a play, I’m looking for something a little current.

The summer break is over, the autumn is in and the podcast returns, the 55th release in the series, one which should hopefully see us reach for number seventy by the year’s end.

There’s the new facelift, some changes on Facebook, a new drop box for MP3s, Twitter is still there and the show returns with six acts and six tracks, as if we’d have it any other way.

Music this week comes from

• Jester – Crying
• New Nobility Band – Galactic Love
• Saving J – ABC
• Jennifer Logue – Sigh
• theendisthebeginning – Adrift (Lessons In Time)
• Von Bizmark – London

The schedule for September through December will be published shortly so if you want to get your tracks in, now’s a fine time to do it. Drop an MP3 in our drop box here or email podcast at playlistmix dot com.

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 both sides of the water.

1. Valentine Black – A Song From The Underground
2. Dogs Bollocks – Rebel Reload
3. The Free Design – Bubbles (Buy at Amazon MP3)
4. Beirut – My Night With The Prostitute From Marseille (Buy at Rhapsody)
5. Ebo – Paper Planes
6. Diarmuid Comerford – Skit Show

While I’m here, I should also plug a competition I’m involved in running, Busker 2009. One of my other hats with Kilkenny Music sees the promoting of a lot of music, at every level, including street-level. Busker 2009 kicked off yesterday with acts competing for a prize each da of 200 Euro. From tomorrow onwards, we’re looking for people to vote for their favourite act out of three from yesterday, the voting available here at KilkennyMusic.com.

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.

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
