In a classy podcast full of high morals I (with a little help from Izzy) bring you Helen Austin, David Cevoli, Tann-Starr (not me), Kidd Russell, that other live acoustic track from The Rising and Shinsei Kamatachan.

Paul from Unplug the Jukebox came along and waxed lyrical about some band or other.

I asked the question “What have you lost that you want back” and got some very interesting answers. I also read out the results of my submission to the Music Xray focus group with hilarious consequences!

In a packed show this week I play Eastleigh’s sons Broken Links ~ What Are We Waiting For?, Ben Willmott ~ On The Beach, Stone Them Crows ~ Joker In The Pack,

I had a lovely chat with Helen Austin all the way in Vancouver Island and played her tune Take Me Away. Then Coloured Lines ~ Read Between the Lines, Andrew Foster and a song I recorded when he was here a few weeks ago Panic Moon, SRM and his great tune ~Iron Lung Blues, The Spiraltones ~ Lost Weekend, May KB and her beautiful tune The Storm. A perfect tune in Sorrow from show favourites King Never.

I finish off with a live version of Push II the theme music at the top of each podcast since 2008.

This week I am joined by America’s best export Justin Wayne from The Justin Wayne Show with random comments from Izzy and what fun we had.

I played Kidd Russell’s new single Backyard Heroes, Ruins by Pineross, Glen Laughlin’s Valentines Day, the astounding Teenage Eyes from old friends and all round good guys Ex Libras, Fez and Lowlight and the fabulously handsome April Maybe May and Sugar & Mess and Haunted Stereo Can You See My Side in a plea to find out if anyone has seen Anja?

I wasn’t going to play Ben Sommer’s Adult Babies but I did. You’ll have to listen to see why.

I also mentioned my good friend Richard Vobes comedy podcast and urged you to give it a try.

It appears that the Markers Mark did the trick this week as I whizzed through the podcast at record speed!

I started off with and old favourite Diana by The Wilton Project, then a most beautiful tune by April Maybe May called Sugar & Mess and then Alibi by Planes Over Paris. Then came my interview with the delightful Anja McClosky who told me all about her imminent tour of America next month. If you’re about try and catch her to say hi.

I also played Anja’s amazing tunes Stephanie IV. Pam Shaffer’s track Henry followed this then a word or two from that nice Paul Lane from Unplug the Jukebox. Steve Lowis’s Rescue and newly named Alligator Indian and their top track Prospect Park.

I finished off with a track I recorded on my honeymoon in 2006, lets just call it Slide.

I hope you enjoyed the podcast, click on something eh?

It’s a big one this week enough to keep you going over the festive period as I will be taking a couple of weeks off.

I was joined by that nice Paul Lane from UnplugThejukebox and Doyle and Ben fromDoyle & The Forefathers who apart from playing a brand new song and an old favourite, join us in putting the world of music to rights.

I kick off with a very xmasie tune by the wonderful Salme Dahlstrom followed by Black & White Christmas by Isle of Mann band Postcode. The two “Doyles” then give us a brand new tune call Spend a lot of time alone from their soon to be released album which is then followed by Sometimes from The Lost Souls Club, then Pick up Sticksfrom Super Adventure Club. I then play the the tune that gave me the idea to do an xmas special in the first place We Three Kings by the glorious King Never followed by Paul’s choice Future at Last by the very excellent Woven Bird

That wraps up part one

A frankly shambolic podcast, I even got the number wrong it IS number 43. What I DID get right was the music, they are all new artists to Is This Thing On. I played the songs of

This is the second in a series of mini podcasts aimed at being inserted as a feature in existing podcasts and radio shows and lasts just five minutes.

It features three tracks played on the Is This Thing On Podcast 41 Jazz Special.

First off is Sigurdor Guomundsson with his amazing tune that translates into English as “Running on Empty”

Second is one of mine “Can’t Get Happy” taken from my album Life is a River

I finish off with the great Rainier Straschill who I inadvertently call “Rainier”. He is a prince though!

This feed is still in the experimental stage. If you can subscribe and give your opinions and any advice etc I would be most grateful and I hope you enjoy

UPDATE

This has now been inserted into the legendary podcaster Richard Vobes daily podcast
