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

Back for the third podcast of the month, the 46th Playlist Mix lands with a nice smattering of Irish acts for your listening pleasure. This week I’ve been listening to a host of Irish acts with new releases – Parhelia have just released their ‘Shifting Sands’ album and there’s a track from that while Heritage Centre release ‘The City, The Tree & The Fox’ this coming weekend, so there’s an introduction to that EP as well. It’s also been a busy week in many regards around PlaylistMix.com as more introductions to the site are made including the Playlist Mix Tape giving you access to the month’s current listening selection. Head over to mix.playlistmix.com or check the ‘Mix’ link from the menu for tracks from shows 44 and 45 along with this week’s selection.

Don’t forget our four featured bands as well, all of whom I’ve been speaking to during the week. You’ve got Homespun [the.band], Pavesi, The Unravelling and The Lions Mane all part of this month’s featured acts.

This week’s mix features

1. Heritage Centre – ‘Losing Touch’
2. Saving J – ‘Indication Street’
3. JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound – ‘How To Stop Loving Someone Who Stopped Loving You’
4. On The Cinnamon – ‘Hide & Seek’
5. Serial Twin – ‘Things That I Fear’
6. Parhelia – ‘Our Ship Has Sailed’

You can send everything to podcast@playlistmix.com or look up the podcast on Twitter – it’s open pretty much most hours of the day and is rapidly becoming the quickest way to get in touch (near-immediate response assured).
