Heaven Is Above Your Head #12

Heaven Is Above Your Head was a weekly radio show and podcast while I was living in New Zealand. For the second hour of every show my friends and I would all play exactly what we wanted and maybe have a dance. They have kept the slot and you can now listen to Simply Thrilled (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=118285020973) every Saturday on non-commercial station Fleet FM (http://fleetfm.co.nz/), at 9pm local time or 9am GMT. If you happen to miss it they usually post a link on the Anorak fo...

Running a Temperature Revival

Running a Temperature Revival is not a podcast, a mix, set, session, cassette, or cd-r. It is a correspondence from one person to several, however many, or few. Not to be numbered or finite, but dated for it's place in time and unclear how strong and for how long this communique can endure. 10 songs (no more, no less) appropriated from their original composers and pieced together into an interpretive narrative as told from the rooftops of Brooklyn to any number of unique and diverse geographic l...

Pigsick

After 7 days locked in his office and full of swine flu, Crayola's cabin fever was becoming intense. He'd listened to nothing but old Fall albums for 144 hours and was ready to cut off his ears. Then he had a plan to escape this self imposed aural purgatory - POP MUSIC! But how? Ah yes, a podcast. For who? Ah yes, Slumberland. Did it work? YES IT BLOODY DID! 1. Dr. Strangely Strange "Strangely Strange But Oddly Normal" (Excerpt) 2. The Creepers "Curl Up And Dye" 3. World Sanguine Report "Third O...

Hej, my name is Martin and I played drums for the Faintest Ideas/ javelins when we were around. These ögnhalsmottagningen that me and Stew Boyracer formed over the phone in late 2007. Apart from that I make hip hop/ dance music under the name Acid Lindgren, play guitar in a new band that might be called Anti-social Darwinists, Pretentious Assholes, Compulsive Record Collectors (or something completely different) as well as DJ under the monkier ADHDJ (thanks for the name Marisa). I live in Gothen...

Pegcast #1

Hi! I'm Peggy from the Pains and this is a mix I made. Here are some notes: I couldn't decide which Gregory Webster non-Razorcuts song I wanted to use, but this Saturn V song is one I discovered on a Vinyl Japan comp. It's so slacker 90s indie rock sounding. Also, there's a Smashing Pumpkins song that is the b-side to my favorite SP song ever, "1979." James Iha sings it and I'm pretty sure it was recorded on a 4-track. A guy I met on AOL put this on a tape for me when I was in high school and I ...

One Step At A Time

My name is Herbie and for whatever reason I decided to use the name HTSHELL for when I play records. I live in Philadelphia and play in the groups Brown Recluse Sings and Auto Scroll. I also am part of a monthly night called "ENGLAND BELONGS TO TWEE" (http://www.myspace.com/englandbelongstotwee) where we get too excited by mixing Cock Sparrer into Heavenly and Tiger Trap into Sham 69. But for this I just grabbed a bunch of 45s and pressed record and this is what came out. There's mostly soul, a ...

So Hard To Beat

Teenage Kicks is a monthly P!O!P party held in San Francisco by el Guapo and DJ In The Manner of a Leprechaun (who you might remember from his earlier Slumberland podcast). We love all kinds of pop music, from '60s pop to '70s bubblegum, early punk and post-punk, and of course indie pop from the '80s through to the present day. We thought we'd share some of that love with you and do something we don't normally get to do in a club setting, namely go head to head trading off songs; we hope you lik...

Just the thought of what the Boyracer family's record collection must look like brings a tear to my eye. If i had a nickel for every great record Stew's turned me onto, I'd have enough money to catch up on the Searching For The Now series. This is Jen and Stew's first podcast, and I think you'll find it to be beyond enlightening. Exotic DIY pop singles and tapes rain down like manna, and Mr & Mrs 'Racer drop informative chat between the tunes to keep you scurrying for the notepad. Ace stuff....

Soul Jerker: Sounds of '69

Mighty, mighty sounds that shook the dance floors of Kingston and London and soundtracked the original skinhead scene. This is unrepentant party music, and the crackles and vinyl fizz you'll hear attest to the many years some of these records have spent moving crowds. So don't fight it - turn the lights down, turn the music up, grab a few tins of your favorite libation, and tighten up! 1. Dice The Boss - Your Boss DJ 2. Harry J All Stars - Liquidator 3.

Definition '79

I first put this mix together a few years ago when we were recording The Crabapples to show the engineer what kind of sounds we were looking for. I've wound up listening to it quite a bit since then though, and I think this batch of songs pretty well represents a lot of what inspired me to start the label and make music myself: smart, succinct tunes with equal measures of noise and melody, played with maximum passion and minimum nonsense. 1. The Mekons - Where Were You? (7", Fast Product, 1978) ...

An excellent, eclectic pop mix with a decidedly international scope from Summer Cats' Scott Brewer. From the suave pop of Pas Chic Chic to the freakbeat stomp of Saturday Looks Good To Me's cover of The Equals' "I Get So Excited" (a definite Kid Frostbite favorite!) to the sublime strum of Rose Melberg's "Cast Away The Clouds," this podcast covers a lot of ground yet hangs together admirably. Top marks, Mr. Brewer! 1. Pas Chic Chic - Sur les Ecrans Statiques (7", Maze Discos, 2007) 2. Bel Diviol...

The Sound of Rain

If you're going to venture outside in Glasgow you'd better like splashing along. Summer 2007's been a total write-off weather-wise so when I should've paddling on Troon beach, a melting double nougat in hand, I've been stomping around my living room to The Undecided? spitting out teen revenge and to A Sunny Day In Glasgow's colossal reverb attack. When I should've been throwing shapes like Ronaldo on the unforgiving blaze of Kelvingrove Park I've been sipping tea and swooning to the gently marve...

Call the Girls Around 5 O'Clock

Those who know him or have tuned into his broadcasts as DJ In the Manner of a Leprechaun on Berkeley's KALX radio know that Andrew Crabapple's love for scratchy pop 7"s is only matched by his enthusiasm for a wide range of electronic dance music, from acid house to old skool jungle to his current obsession, minimal techno. Now living in London, he sends us this transmission from the front lines of the European minimal scene, with a few nods to the pop kids in the form of a disco re-edit of the C...
