Yes it’s another Unplug the Jukebox Special! This week Paul Lane joins me from Unplug the Jukebox for a podcast so packed we had to make it in two parts!

Helped largely by cans of wonderful Polish Tyskie beer we waxed lyrical, ranted, raved and generally spouted.

In this part we played full unadulterated tracks and by The Rising, Mash Attack, Curxes, Butterflies on Strings, The Douglas Firs, Bourdeauxxx and the mighty Marvin B Naylor as well as mentioning Marvin’s brilliant Diary of A Busker blog.

Part 2 is well…drunker….

In this weeks podcast Paul and I interview The Rising who also play a cracking acoustic track! I also play Faux Disco Club ~ Recovery, Bang Bangs ~ In Arms, PostCode ~ Drop Dead, Planes Over Paris ~ Signs, an exclusive track from The Lost Boys ~ Crazy Weekend, Paul eventually sent me a Dan Sheers & The Velveteen Orkestra ~ City of Dreadful Night, Camp Out ~ Made My Self Sick, Marvin B Naylor ~ Boy Became a Man and a frankly dodgy track by me. It seemed like a good idea at the time!!! Some nice new jingles by The Posh Bird…very nice!

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?

Paul Lane and I decided to do the first of what I hope with be a regular 6 weekly special of tracks reviewed by Paul on his Unplug The Juke box feature. We had a great time with not only some great tracks but also we were lucky enough to be joined by Dan from The Lost Boys who performed a track so new that the rest of his band had yet to hear it. Anja McClosky also graced us with her presence, her piano accordion, her amazing voice and by Andy on guitar and a fantastic fiddle player whose name escapes me but they both also join her playing as they do for Haunted Stereo They made a fantastic sound!

Along with some sensible chat from Paul (I took a bit of a back seat in this one) we played some of his favourite tracks from the last few months. Tracks by These Fine Galleons, The Manic Shine , The Chase , Mutant Vinyl and I played one of Paul’s favourites but not his first choice as my throat is far to rough (I have a bit of a sore throat) to belt out That Woman. To find out what I sang you’ll have to listen.
