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

• Miri – ‘Bitter Romantic’
• The Funeral Suits – ‘Modern Urban Pleasures’
• Pavesi – ‘Apology’
• Show Me The Skyline – ‘Clocks and Calendars’
• South – ‘Symmetry’
• Darragh J Glennon – ‘For My Love’

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.

We’re at number 39 with the Playlist Mix this week and seen as there’ll be some attention given towards the Irish Web Awards taking place in Dublin this Saturday, it seems right that I pick a number of Irish acts to feature in the podcast (or at least more than usual anyway).

This week you’ll get five of six of your acts coming from Ireland while you’re sixth act has been visiting and performing in Ireland over the last ten years or so.

There’s music on the cards from

1. Dirty Epics – The Cure
2. Rich Wyman – Colours
3. Darragh J. Glennon – Closer
4. Baby Jenx – Sell Yourself
5. Lights Over Phoenix – Faceless
6. Burma Shade – Bitter

The podcast is nominated for Best Podcast(er) at the 2008 Irish Web Awards and although I’m not expecting anything in the slightest, it’s going to be great to get to Dublin at the weekend (not often I do) and catch up with the crowd up there and those I’ve gotten to know over the last few months and years.

As always, feel free to send your tracks and comments to podcast@playlistmix.com.

If you’re heading along to the awards, be sure and say hello.

Until next week,

Enjoy.
