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
• ABCQ – He’s A Dog
• Finn Riggins – Wake (Keep This Town Alive) [Buy at Tender Loving Empire]

Heritage Centre, who were featured on Playlist Mix 46, have released ‘The City, The Tree & The Fox’ to the public, the EP release hitting shops and the web on Friday gone.

This is a great release. The music is totally infectious with non of your indie-pop crap. It makes for great listening and great repeat-listening at that as well. The launch gig in Whelan’s in Dublin was a sell-out and the band go on to play Dolan’s in Limerick this Friday night. ‘You Are Something’ makes for a great start and the quality of performance and writing doesn’t dip at all throughout with ‘Death By Science’, the TV-friendly ‘Losing Touch’, the much edgier ‘Stars’, ‘Somehow I Feel Cheated’ and ‘Your Leaders are Dead’ all on the cards. Consider them firmly chalked down on the list of Irish bands to see in action this year.

Debut EP? More please!

Check out Playlist Mix 46 here or download the MP3 directly to hear them for yourself.

You can also visit the Heritage Centre MySpace or check DownloadMusic.ie for some downloads and support the band!

Tuesday strikes and so too does the Playlist Mix, just in the nick of time as well. As I try to drag myself away from Champions League football, catching up on US TV and the arrival of Grand Theft Auto IV, I’ve managed to squeeze out the 32nd show with just over 29 minutes of music and tidbits on six more fresh acts for the mix.

On this week’s podcast you’ve got tunes from

• Brother Love – ‘Summertime’
• Plunkett – ‘Flies’
• The Krinkles – ‘Still In Love’
• Ghostface Killah – ‘Charlie Brown’ (DJ Mehdi remix)
• The Riot Before – ‘Take That The Government’
• The Beautiful Girls – ‘Sir, Your Fashion Has The Heart Of A Killer’

Submit your music to the podcast by emailing podcast@playlistmix.com. Don’t forget to include a biography, photo and your music (most importantly!).

Until next week… enjoy the mix.
