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.

The second podcast of 2009 lands and the 45th show overall has another six acts for you coming in the forms of The Crash Moderns, That’s What She Said, The Funeral Suits, A Band Called Quinn, South and The Lions Mane. What’s more is that the new PlaylistMix.com has launched. Tires will be kicked and some Internet Explorerness will be mended (I’m just going to assume it’s broken, what else can you do with IE really?) over the next day or so but for the moment – enjoy the new site.

The homepage now plays host to a rearranged blog and player feature along with a new spot for the featured bands mentioned on last week’s podcast. Don’t forget that this month’s featured bands include Homespun, Pavesi, The Unravelling and The Lions Mane, each act getting some additional plays on the podcast, plays and features both here on the site and via MySpace and anywhere else we can dig our claws into. This will gradually get bigger over the course of the year but please, go check out these bands and support their music.

This week’s mix is as follows

1. The Crash Moderns – ‘Where Did All The Scene Girls Go’
2. That’s What She Said – ‘Partisan’
3. The Funeral Suits – ‘Start Of The End’
4. A Band Called Quinn – ‘Invincible’
5. South – ‘Levity’
6. The Lions Mane – ‘Buddha’

If you want to get involved, find out more about the features or send your music for inclusion on a show, then drop a line to podcast@playlistmix.com. If you’ve got giveaways (we’ll look after the postage on this end), physical press packs or CDs you’d like to submit for review or inclusion in the show then again, send an email to the above address and we’ll give you some address details to send your goodies on to.

Don’t forget too that for this year you can follow the podcast on Twitter via @playlistmix.

Until next Sunday,

Enjoy,

• Comrade Down – ‘Alone’

From the dark (literally) studio on a late Tuesday night, enjoy this week’s mix
