Everything Alright! mix #10

A new mix for you to hear today....

Meantime happy to say that the The Holiday Crowd Mini-LP "Over The Bluffs" is officially out now from both our good friends at Shelflife, and a Canadian label New Romantic, here's a clip for Pennies Found from the LP :)

Now, done to the nitty gritty of who and what's on today's mix -

Sci-Fi Caper from Fresno have 2 free download eps, "Skeleton Tracks" ( where "Bloom Like Roses" comes from ) and "In The Garage" which is a 'recorded practice session', ( no doubt in their garage ).

Model Railway Exhibition are a 3 piece from London and you can grab their "Jennifer's Brother" cassette/download ( out via Verulamium Records ) from their bandcamp ( only 2 pounds but worth more !! ).

Obedient Wives Club are from Singapore and had a 3" cdr out via Happy Teardrop Music ( 80 only, long sold out ) but the 4 songs from the ep and a bonus song are for sale on the band's Bandcamp.

Bit of Dufflecoat related news - the Sunny Street/Kuraykin split is out out now - both sides brilliant songs, "Hungry Hippo's" being from there. There are recent releases from Astrolab & Watoo Watoo as well and I'm spreading the rumour here and now that We.The Pigs will be coming out on a future split, which is exciting news.

Burning Hearts will release their "Extinctions" album on Feb 1 ( yes next week !!! ) via the Finnish label Solina Records ( & eventually on Shelflife I believe ). Meantime "Burn Burn Burn" is a single from the album which you can pick up via the Finnish iTunes ( if you're allowed from your country ).

The Sundae release on Little Treasure hasn't surfaced yet ( any day now for sure ) in the meantime a preview track from the ep is on Sundae's Soundcloud. ( as well as the great Nixon cover I'm playing on today's mix ).

Strawberry Whiplash's "Stop Look & Listen" 7- inch ep on Matinee is a bit of a ( very juicy ) taster from their upcoming debut album 'Hits In The Car" - as they say in the classics 'can't wait for that one".

Also today we hear a few songs from the SEA Indie scene - Serenaide from their 2004 "The Other End Of The Receiver" album on Fruit Records ( which I think has folded ), Talkless who are from Thailand & Taman Kota from Indonesia from an upcoming release on Shiny Happy Records, who will also release the Burrrn track we're playing today soon ( they are from Japan ) on an ep called "Artistic Destruction & Construction".

The SEA Indie blog has also put out a new collaborative Filipino comp with Pop Scene Manila, another great collection of Filipino pop, which you can grab here.

Always BUY music and support bands and labels :)

Please enjoy this little mix :)

Everything Alright! mix #9 - Believers

I've think the people hassling me over copyright have lost interest...so here's a new mix for the true believers

( can't keep me down - you betcha )

A bit of a Shelflife love fest, with tracks from their recents releases from White Wishes, Balloon Magic ( our new Magic Danes, their Mornings Ep is REALLY good ) & The Proctors - AND !! I suspect The Holiday Crowd are coming out soon on Shelflife ( I can feel it in my waters ) ( then again I could be wrong..)

Bit more of a Toronto connection with a demo version of the Persian Rugs Cloudberry 7" and a bandcamp demo from Autoportrait. Bit of a live Vimeo clip of the Rugs here.

Also an amazing track from the latest Cloudberry release, a CD from Feverfew, in a tasty new series they have called "Cloudberry Cake Kitchen".

2 tracks from Pebble Records - the always great Cavalcade ( a new 7" that's been in the pipeline for some time and finally out ) plus another 7" from Tracey's Love ( from London ).

And last by but no means least a new 3' on Little Treasure from The Arctic Flow ( Sundae out soon there as well ).

Always BUY music where you can :)

In Spite Of These Times ( aka Too Bloody Stupid )

Due to ongoing hassles about copyright. sadly I am having to put this blog into temporary freeze while I figure what to do.

I don't wish to end up in legal trouble, so have to stop while I figure it all out.

Humans Beware, the predecessor of this blog, has been taken offline totally - not by me - by someone who has complained about copyright infringement.

What disappoints me is that at the end of the day I am nobody in the greater scheme of things, just some obscure guy from Australia, and not a threat to the future of the universe.

For now I'm thinking about the options for continuing, so all is not lost....just figuring out what to do.

To everyone that has supported me and everyone who has listened and enjoyed the music, a massive thanks.

If you object to your song being on my mixes

Let's work on this together -

recently on my older blog Humans Beware, several whole mixes were deleted due to an anonymous copyright holder complaining directly to Box.net ( where the files are stored ), they have deleted the files, that's fair enough. In doing so they deleted the whole mix.

I would prefer a situation though where I removed the offending song rather than the whole mix.

For the record - if you are an artist or "copyright holder" of any of the songs on any of the mixes on this blog and you would like your song removed from the mix, I am happy to remove it immediately from the mix, please email me directly and I will do so immediately.

Quite simple really, and also helps out other artists who have no problem being included :)

Have a nice day.
