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

It’s Sunday the 22nd of February and it’s time for the 47th Playlist Mix podcast. The acts this week are again primarily Irish (nice to see) with five of six acts from green shores and Graystar hailing from the UK. The podcast is available to download but will be replaced at some stage on Monday February 23rd with a higher quality track – after uploading I’ve spotted an error with the mic track, as you do but rather than hold off on the music I’ll let you enjoy tonight’s six acts.

This week’s mix brings you tracks from

• Chemical Addiction – ‘Friends Are Enemies’
• Graystar – ‘I Disappear’
• Tenaka – ‘Ain’t Nobody’
• Bill Coleman – ‘Offer Up The Hope’
• Pavesi – ‘Staring At The Ground’
• Clergy – ‘The Greed’

With this being the last podcast of February, next show around we’ll have a new bunch of featured bands and some more new music for you. The mix tape will also reset but for now, you can click here to listen to 24 tracks from the playlisted acts over the month of February.

For now, it’s time to get some sleep after the Irish Blog Awards last night – epic session in Cork which will no doubt see people with a few sore heads, even at this stage of Sunday night.
