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

Until next week and show 51, enjoy the Playlist Mix. If you want to drop me a line, please do, you can email podcast@playlistmix.com or follow Playlist Mix on Twitter.

The Playlist Mix returns for the 36th show of the series and the third in succession since coming back after the summer break (thank God for that). I’m right back in the thick of it this week with music from Ireland, the US and the UK. I also come with good news that the podcast has been long-listed for the 2008 Irish Web Awards Best Podcast (podcaster), along with a second show I do on a Wednesday morning for PodCamp Ireland.

Needless to say, I’m honoured to be featured at this early stage and fingers crossed there’ll be a place on the shortlist. One can but hope. Regardless of places on much shorter lists, the podast returns again, with a little extra added to this week’s show. See if you can spot the difference and let me know what you think.

There’s music this week from…

1. Vesta Varro – Believe
2. Planet Rewind – Beached
3. This Is Fiction – Day Dreamer
4. Annie Golliath – Roller Coaster Ride
5. Satellite State – Plans
6. Ro Tierney – Sing For The Children

Until next week,

The 25th Playlist Mix podcast has landed – that’s a half century of podcasts!

If I was releasing one a year that is and not one a week! Anyway, while the wind plays havoc with studio B, the 25th podcast has indeed landed and features another six tracks for your listening pleasure.

ProTools is giving grief tonight so there may be an audio update during the week but I reckon the podcast holds up for the moment!

For your listening pleasure this Tuesday you’ve got music from

1. Jealousy Curve – ‘Until We Are Free’
2. 27 Years – ‘Philophobia’
3. Reemo – ‘Rushin’ Man’

5. Vesta Varro – ‘Pyramid Clocks’
6. Alesana – ‘Ambrosia’

Thanks once again to those of you who continue to listen to the podcast on a regular basis (I know it’s not me making all the downloads during the week!). If you’ve got something you would like to add, suggest, would like to leave a comment or just get in touch for any reason then don’t hesitate – contact the studio on podcast@playlistmix.com.
