28 JulEclectic Mainline 28th July 2010
I had an operation today, but no you don’t now have to call me Alberta. It was only a minor operation. That said, I will never be able to listen to Windstorm by School Of Seven Bells the same way again. That was the tune in my head when I went into theatre, and I tried oh so very hard to just focus on singing that song over and over in my head, rather than thinking about what the surgeon was doing….“focus on the song, Albert, focus on the song!!!” I told myself.
Remind me to tell you Phil Cope’s joke about the snail in the pub some time.
This is what I played tonight:

It’s just the others I know of at the time of writing.

25 JulThese New Puritans – ‘Hologram’ (Albert Freeman remix)
Back in June I told you about a remix competition for These New Puritans‘ Hologram. I suggested I might have a go myself, and indeed I did! I would be the first to admit that mine is not a fully realised idea. Given more time (to get more familiar with Logic, as well as exploring my idea for the remix) I think my mix has potential to sound much better. Another thing to note (and again this is to do with me not being too familiar with Logic yet) is that mine is relatively quiet – so turn up the volume when you listen to mine!
Anyway, I entered my effort into the competition. You can hear it below along with the original and also my favourite of the other competition entries, that by Mute Branches.

21 JulEclectic Mainline 21st July 2010
Well, last week you might have heard Phil Cope play a tune by the simply marvellously-named Duran Duran Duran in his show. By some strange twist of fate, this week I’ve userped Mr Cope by playing a tune with the lyric “Duran Duran Duran Duran” in it (it was the new single by The Vaselines in case you missed it). Anyone would think it was all part of a grand plan, but I assure you listeners, Laura is not, as far as I know, preparing 5 Durans for her show next week.
Here’s the next in the installments of Grinderman teasers. I showed you the first last week.
And here’s a list of what I played in tonight’s show:
20 JulSessions news…
Bingley Music Live final
Hi folks,
On Wednesday night I’ll be playing music from four more bands competing to open Bingley Music Live in September. It’s the big final competition at St George’s Hall on Saturday 24th so if you want to have a say in who goes through, get yourselves to the gig.
These are the runners and riders:
Jasmine Kennedy, Sharp Darts, The Mexanines, Secrets Sirens, Northern Glory, The Beat Marshalls, Black Diamond Bay and The Dawnriders. Good luck one and all! I’ve been at some of the heats and I can promise you these guys are great.
I’m getting ready to go to WOMAD – very excited already. I’m off to see Rolf Harris for goodness sake! Getting giddy about Horace Andy, Nouvelle Vague Club, Soil & Pimp, Ghislain Poirier, DJ Kentaro…so much good stuff. Promise to play some WOMAD treats on the show over the next few weeks.
Don’t forget, get in touch if you’ve got some tunes you’d like me to play, gigs to plug: laura.rawlings@bcbradio.co.uk
OOh and next week’s session (28th July) comes from Leeds lovelies Pifco!
