A long summer show reflecting the long uninterrupted periods of sunshine we’re getting in the UK, *cough* NOT.

So here’s another podcast for a schizophrenic summer that can’t make it’s mind up between sunshine, rain, and cloudy on an hourly basis. I also talk about hypnagogic pop, a term from the Wire (I know I know, but at least it’s not chillwave or shitgaze which ARE officially the worst genre names ever) about a certain type of woozy blissed out electronic/experimental guitar music (thanks eve!) – although listeners of Vini Reilly and Pat Metheny might debate the newness of this!

Oh and a cup filled with a liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.

It’s only an oversized etch-a-sketch y’know (138 mins, 109Mb)

Just found this rather funny and very drunken (and NSFW, scurrilous, loud, and extremely rude) interview at Podcastcon 2006 by Scott of the Night Nurse Show (now Gay Ass Rock Show) for Radio Clash (well more he saw my little iRiver recorder and insisted on doing an interview and wouldn’t take no for an answer!).

If you listen to his discussions in part one with Linda Mills (then of Podcast User) and Conrad Slater of Bitjobs for the Masses about masturbating to Radio Clash and spoken word podcasts, fannies and blowjobs…or in part two joined by Rob Dolby (Top of the Pods) with Scott talking about starfucking and probably libellious discussions including Podshow being the darkside…you might realise why I didn’t use it (also I was busy doing the San Francisco podcasts just after).

• A drunken interview by Scott – Part One
• A drunken interview by Scott – Part Two

It makes my and Scott’s interview with Twinkleboi seem well nice and clean and sober…goodness knows what the legendary all-podcaster Top of the Pods recorded that night sounds like then, that was so rude never made it out there

But as a stroll down memory lane, it’s very funny.

And more of this re-release mania – back in May 2008 I appeared on Pete Juxtaposeur’s Skip to the End podcast as DJNoNo and created a 30minute mix specially.

Here’s the 320kbps separate version for your separate listening pleasure (although I heartily recommend listening to Skip to the End show I was on for chat and great music from Pete).

Also another mix I’m quite proud of is the Cuddle the Present mix I did for Jeb 50 Pound Note‘s podcast – that’s now back up after being unavailable for a few years and available here.

Also back up is the show I did with Jeb and Lee from I Motor Away and the first of the 3 shows Scott, Jeb and myself did. – the second is available here. Also the Xmas show I did with Scott and Jeb on Scott’s 30th birthday.

Oh and still one of the best podcasts I ever did – the Hijack Happy Birthday podcast me and Jeb did for Lee’s I Motor Away podcast is now up (it seems I Motor Away has podfaded and is not up anymore so I uploaded it for good on my server)

Phew! Did I really do all that?

EDIT: and now courtesy of Scott the 3rd podcast myself, Jeb and Scott did the Night Nurse Show ‘Podwhores’ – joined by Stefan is now up on my server. It is very very rude though in true Night Nurse Show tradition, be warned

What is nu/neo-disco?

I asked myself that recently – disco is in my genes (jeans?) yet I was confused at what had happened to the genre since 2008, and at all since I knew hardly any of it (I thought, it partly turned out a matter of genre labelling for a few acts I already knew!)…and you know me, I like a challenge…so I did what I do when I don’t know a genre – I make a mix! Nothing better than concentrating your mind and finding out what’s what than planning a mix.

So I did some research and asked loads of people for suggestions – so big thanks go to eve massacre, ian fondue and @iainh  for introducing me to some of these tracks and bands/producers

So ‘nowdisco’ a 90 minute live Traktor mix is the result…from classic disco re-edited to 1984-style electrodisco to balearic/chilled disco to nu-acid house to modern cosmic (space) disco and a dash of old-skool italodisco from all over the world. I hope you enjoy this sunny disco modern mix.
