Better late than never, the 33rd Playlist Mix has arrived with a fresh batch of tunes, all from Canada this week. Apologies again to those who were looking forward to the podcast last Tuesday but as certain situations presented themselves at the last minute last week, the podcast took a week off. Though it hasn’t stopped you listening to the previous 32 shows released on PlaylistMix.com so far!

This week sees the return of Canadian metal outfit Inner Surge to the podcast along with newcomers to PlaylistMix.com in the form of

• +Nurse – ‘Gideons’
• Starewell – ‘Broke And Out Of Money’
• Perpetual Emotion Machine ‘Port Moody (150 Dollar Version)’
• Bloodshot Eyez – ‘Fix Me’
• The Puffins – ‘Bad Boys From Leningrad’
• Inner Surge – ‘From The Depths’

If you would like your music featured on the podcast or you would like to nominate / suggest a band or track for the show then email me now on podcast@playlistmix.com. Don’t forget to include MySpace links / Bebo links / iTunes links where possible.

Until next week…

If you’re living outside of Ireland you might be surprised to hear that we’re on a three day week! Yesterday was a public holiday, this Friday is a holy day so you’ve got to cram 5 days work into 3 before taking off again on for another weekend!

In my case, I’m cramming in the podcasts, back again with another Playlist Mix for you with six tracks from six acts around the world including stop offs in Florida and Chicago, up to Canada and over as far as Finland.

I also see the podcast subscriber numbers starting to rise a little bit – thank you very much If you do like what you hear then don’t be a stranger and instead why not let me know what you think? Drop me an email on podcast@playlistmix.com or better still – keep up to date with the podcast by subscribing to the RSS feed!

This week there’s music from

• Low Sea Roar – ‘Black Sea’
• Strive – ‘Away From Here’
• Big Bang Radio – ‘Radio’
• Valerian – ‘Soldier Of Fortune’
• The Alrights – ‘City Underground’

Next week’s show (the “technical” anniversary show will be recorded over the Easter weekend for release early Tuesday evening – or at least that’s the plan for the moment). Until then… take it easy.

A day late, a buck short…. well in fairness, it’s not THAT late, about 10 hours or so but the Playlist Mix returns once again with a weekly dose of independent music for your listening pleasure.

I’m chalking the delay down to a radio appearance last night cutting into my recording time, that and the fact that the house (and subsequently Studio B) was an absolute ice box.

Flash forward to Wednesday morning and the show gets recorded with the aid of several cups of tea and the world is back to normal!

This week you’ve got the pleasure of listening to

• 01:23 – Kole – ‘The Weakness’
• 06:25 – Paradise – ‘In Circles’
• 09:56 – Flee The Seen – ‘Wire Tap Out’
• 12:38 – Faze – ‘All You Need’
• 17:49 – Pulling Thorns – ‘Question Marks & Turn Signals’
• 23:08 – Eagle Seagull – ‘Your Beauty Is A Knife I Turn In My Throat’

As always, if you’d like to comment on the podcast, submit news, gig dates, new music and the likes then drop me an email to podcast@playlistmix.com or find me on MySpace by visiting myspace.com/playlistpodcast.

Until next week…. enjoy!

Studio B had it’s hardware upgrade (for the podcasting section) last week and I’m still getting to grips with the new ProTools setup (I had a run at the weekend with some recording) so I reckon by the next show we should be running at full power audio-wise.

• 07:30 – This Car Up – ‘Expect Them To Lie’
• 11:43 – Fighter Pilot – ‘Answer Me’
