LAST EVER SHOW - MY FAVOURITE EVER SONGS

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,
• from about 555 different artists
• from roughly 42 specified genres
• with 46 special guests co-hosting
• spending over 40 hours 7 metres undergound.

AMBIENT SHOW

I always try to sneak some sort of "ambient"-inspired track into a show, so I thought it about time I did a whole ambient show.

FAVOURITE MUSIC OF 2008

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:

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

2008 ROUNDUP + CAROL SINGERS!

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)
or even have a party popper and glittery streamer here:

BASS SHOW

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

4. Sander van Doorn – Riff
5. Kid Cudie – Day ‘n’ Night (Crookers Remix)
6. Zomby – Euphoria
7. Dungen - Mina Damer Och Fasaner
8. Noisia – Crank
9. Chase & Status – Running

11. Digital Mystikz – Earth a Run Red
12. Byetone – Plastic Star
13. Nero – This Way
14. Squarepusher – The Modern Bass Guitar
15. Roxy vs El-B - 2 Bad
16. Mr Scruff – Bass Baby

and they were pretty good I would say.

DARK/BLACK/DRONE/SLUDGE/DEATH METAL SHOW

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

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)

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

INDIAN / DIWALI SHOW

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!
