LAST EVER SHOW - MY FAVOURITE EVER SONGS

2009-10-16T04:32:00.000-07:00

For my last ever show, I decided I would not restrict myself to any particular genre, but rather play all of my favourite ever songs! Alright, of course I couldn't fit all of my favourite songs into two hours, but I definitely gave quite a thick cross-section of my musical passions, as I felt I have done over my 34 shows!

In these 34 shows, I calculated I have:

Played about 555 songs,

AMBIENT SHOW

I tried to keep the whole deal very chill, and I don't believe there is a moment during this show where music isn't playing. I also performed a short exclusive ambient live set, in between the fantastic music!

FAVOURITE MUSIC OF 2008

2009-01-05T10:31:00.000-08:00

Pretty much every week that I was at Cambridge this year I wrote at least one music review and broadcast a radio show which meant that I was fortunate enough to listen to a lot of good music.
Not quite managing the 400 that I listened to last year (most of which must have been listened to during my Gap Year), I still managed to listen to over 200 albums, I guess around an album every other day, and so I came across some great music.
While perhaps there were less stand-out albums than 2007, this year was still a fantastic year for music overall.
Also, the fact that I was at University gave my associative memory less of a chance to link music with places, since I think the majority of music was listened to in my room.
Anyway, here they are:

THE ALBUMS THAT MEANT THE MOST TO ME THIS YEAR WERE:

1. Hercules & Love Affair - Hercules & Love Affair
2. Flying Lotus - Los Angeles
3. Mamma Mia! – The Official Movie Soundtrack
4. Beck – Modern Guilt
5. Yeasayer - All Hour Cymbals
6. Born Ruffians - Red Yellow and Blue

I HAVE SEPARATED THE FOLLOWING INTO 2 LEVELS:

VERY VERY FANTASTIC

2562 – Aerial
Alva Noto – Unitxt
Byetone - Death of a Typographer
Cat Power – Jukebox

HEALTH - HEALTH—DISCO
Hot Chip – Made in the Dark
Ital Tek – Cyclical
Paavoharju - Laulu Laakson Kukista
Portico Quartet - Knee-Deep In The North Sea
Shackleton & Appleblim – Soundboy’s Gravestone Get Desacrated by Vandals
Shed - Shedding the Past
Sunken Foal - Fallen Arches
Syclops - I've Got My Eye On You
Tindersticks - The Hungry Saw
TV on the Radio – Dear Science,
Wolf Parade - At Mount Zoomer
Zomby - Where Were U in ‘92

VERY FANTASTIC

I think anyone would be pleased on checking any of those albums out!

BUT LET'S NOT FORGET EPs!

Bar 9 - Murda Sound / Untitled Symphony (ZAUDIO006)

Zomby – The Lie 12” (RAMP015)

Most Over-hyped/Over-rated albums

Benga – Diary of an Afro Warrior

And I think I have found my favourite album of 2009 already too:
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion

2008 ROUNDUP + CAROL SINGERS!

2008-12-10T15:56:00.000-08:00

For this extremely special show, Subterranean Trawler broke even more boundaries (and rules!) and had part of the Trinity College Choir in the tiny studio! In all there was 8 of us down there, and so whenever I was not playing my favourite songs of the year, 7 carol-singers were a-singing, just for you!

You can by all means Jingle all the way right here: CHRISTMAS SHOW (2nd December 2008)

BASS SHOW

2008-12-01T15:51:00.000-08:00

TURN UP YOUR LOWS!
So for this show, I conscripted Bass enthusiasts Tom and Rob - aka The Sonic Assault DJs, to provide a few songs that would blow your speakers alongside my BASS-HEAVY SELECTIONS. We were concerned the extensive amounts of Bass would destroy the optical cables transferring the show from the studio, but we seemed to get away clean. But to be sure, tweak your subwoofer before listening to enjoy the MAXIMUM BASS of the LARGE tunes involved on the show.
You can download it right about here: BASS SHOW (25th November 2008)
or listen to the bad ones righty then:

Those ones were:
1. Skream – Filth
2. Skream – Simple City
3. Rusko – Jahova

and they were pretty good I would say.

DARK/BLACK/DRONE/SLUDGE/DEATH METAL SHOW

2008-11-21T09:26:00.000-08:00

It was definitely about time to branch out to a genre of music that I really knew very very little about, and that I often found hard to listen to. With few preconceptions, (as always) I carried out a significant amount of research(!) into Metal in general, and after listening to a fair amount of stuff, and after doing this show with my friend Tim who brought in some excellent songs to the studio, I have started to take a serious liking to the genre.

SO I suggest that you check out the show, because maybe you will experience a similar enlightening: Download the METAL SHOW (18th November 2008)

REMEMBRANCE DAY SHOW

2008-11-14T17:04:00.000-08:00

Since it was the 11th of November, Remembrance day, remembering all those who died in the Wars, 90 years after the signing of the Armistice of The Great War, and ESPECIALLY since the show was at 11:00pm, (making the time and date, 11pm on the 11th of the 11th!) I decided to do a show where I played songs that the soldiers would have been listening during the wars.
It was very interesting to research; I even discovered (and played) some recordings of songs that the soldiers sung while marching and in the trenches.
My good friends Liv and Katherine joined in with the song selection, and provided some very interesting War-time anecdotes!

To listen to this unique, one-off, exclusive show, DO download the REMEMBRANCE DAY SHOW here (11th November 2008)

EXPLOSIVE BEATS SHOW

2008-11-06T06:52:00.000-08:00

I also got my friend Rhodri, who is also very experienced in the world of explosion-music, to assist me in the track selection.

2008-11-06T06:29:00.000-08:00

I had been to India over the Summer holidays and had picked up a bunch of music that I really wanted to play. I thought it would be appropriate to have this show on Diwali, the Festival of Light, celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, Buddists and Jains all over the world. My friend Dinesh, who speaks Hindi, was a guest on the show, and provided an excellent selection of tracks, and little explanations of all of them too!

CLASSIC ROCK + PUNK + FUTURE CLASSICS SHOW

2008-03-28T07:54:00.000-07:00

I have always confessed to knowing little about "classic" music, and I have always been ashamed of this ignorance. Therefore, for this special show, I managed to wangle an appearance by a local "expert" on Classic Rock and Punk (aka my friend Richard) in order to educate me a little about these things. I also took the opportunity to provide some suggestions for more recent songs and bands which I thought deserved to be seen as "classic" as well.
This was the most listened to show in all of Cambridge that week!
Subterranean Trawler = Number 1 etc...!
