Yes after 4 years in the wilderness, the Aural pOddities show is BACK! Aren’t you lucky…after the last very POP show this is as unpop as it gets, including the mad, bad, sad, and just plain irritating avant-retard latest in car-crash audio.

You’ll feel like you’ve been in an audio trainwreck and will rush to your Kylie CDs for relief after this, but it’s worth reminding yourselves there’s a strange world out there, and people make and made music and audio like this…and the stranger sadistic thing, I really enjoy it all

Note: not all tracks used in this are ‘unlistenable’ nor ‘crap’ – but they are mixed with a specially developed ‘Unbeliev-a-bull-crap-o-sonic’ technique so terribly with other tracks to make them so. So no offence intended – the most crap thing here is me after all

With thanks (blame?) to WFMU’s Beware of the Blog, 365 Days Project, Hotrod’s Run for Cover, Cool and Strange Music Magazine , Lux and Ivy’s Favorites and many more.

Ages in the making but there’s a new podcast from me called digital debris and the site is in production for it. Think of it as the BBC2 version to Radio Clash’s BBC1…more artier, more experimental (in format and content), focusing on lapsed copyright music, orphan and charity shop audio, internet memes, performance, spoken word, outsider art and podsafe music. If you liked the Aural pOddities shows you’ll love these.

Here is the pilot episode #0 – if you like to hear more, then you can subscribe here, as only this one and maybe the next will be available on this feed .

Suggestions? Improvements?

Let me know here or at the dd blog.

Revenge and return of the Aural pOddities show (31 shows since show 31!) where I talk about outsider music, from song poems to gay patriots, homosexual ghosts and really bad pop music!

…to paraphrase the wonderful Ken And Squip Show; but according to my web stats I’ve apparently I’ve shifted 37.59 Gb for this month alone…after 6 days? Eh?

According to my logs it’s more like 10Gb for the last 7 days – but that doesn’t include the latest podcast shows >32 so that’s pretty much shows 1-32 archive bandwidth – so you like the new archive of old shows huh?

Most popular atm seems to be show 1, show 18 – the first DJNoNo show and show 31 – aural pOddities. Of the shows above #32 hosted elsewhere the blog activity seems most on latest show, but also shows 36 (Banana Heatwave / Beatles) and 45 Detroit seem to be getting some love…

For the record, my homebrew slightly-retarded clicky-stats tell me that the most popular show EVER in the history of clickydom (well since show 12) has been…show 24 ‘Tired, Screaming and Promotional’? . Odd…you crazy Warp freaks!

Good thing my host has apparently moved to unlimited bandwidth…

For a short time (next 1-2 weeks) the entire year of Radio Clash is online – so you can listen to the first show (oh dear, have I improved?), the first Tim & Kirk show, show 25 FUCC show, the infamous Aural pOddities show 31, the History of Mashups, the first podcast ever on ‘shrooms, the DJEarworm interview/London Bombing show or the interviews with FuntimeBen and Bicyclemark, to name a few examples.
