Your best independent music mixtape all ready for the weekend.

This week I play the freshest sounds in the independent music spectrum kicking off with a demo version of my track Don’t then this list of lovlies “Billy Bragg meets Greenday” TC Folkpunk – I Overheard Someone Telling Me, followed by “A special kind of smooth” from Eddy Smith – Blood On Your Hands, the kind of rock we really need – an angry version of The Stranglers –Damn Vandals– Mad As Hell, the wonderful mix of Americana and Brit Pop- who would have thought it possible but Bombs – Wrong Side of The Road do it brilliantly, finishing with a kind of angry Kate Bush album track from the mighty Josephine and the Artizans – Let Me Go

All good nothing bad yes?

Because I am away I have decided to post some old or CLASSIC episodes of the podcast to keep you all interested, hopefully….

This podcast first went live 9th August 2010 and has all the classic features. I won’t spoil the surprises but I will post the original notes below. Please remember that this is over two years old and some of the information, websites etc, do not exist and/or may have changed. ENJOY

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

Did you miss me? Well I’m back with a bucketfull of the best independent music you have ever heard. In no particular order I played The Cherry Bluestones – By Your Leave, Catfish & The Bottlemen – Sidewinder, Vivid Nation – We’re Not The Same , We Steal Flyers – Our World, Sigurdor Gudmunson ~ Naem, Killing No Murder – Reality TV Star, Captain Backfire – Double Kid, Jon Gomm – Gloria, Lock n Load – Lock n Load and a song from me Don’t from my new “Big Set”.

I interviewed the amazing Anja McCloskey and she also plays a brand new track “Black Coffee” live in the ITTO studio.

I also mentioned The Hot Potatoes Podcast but you’d best give that a wide birth unless you like crazy British potato humour.

I’ll be back next week with more of the best music you have never heard.
