• 00:00 – Black Bones – Rock N Roll- CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A cracker from Black Bones, the Italian pirate rockers I played recently. I liked the raw punk feel of this tune and it seems to be one of the few non-Pirate themed songs off their album Pirates Of The Coast.
• 06:49 – Symphony Of Science – The Greatest Show On Earth – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – I was reminded of this site by CCHits this week. I played “A Glorious Dawn” some time ago but there’s a whole collection of these tracks. They’ve taken recordings of popular scientists and auto-tuned them into songs. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but this is nicely done. Listen out for David Attenborough and Richard Dawkins.
• 10:08 – 108 Not – Katatonia – CC BY-ND Licensed – Suggestion from listener Daz Fuller. Russian alt-rock/metal band. Don’t know a lot more about them but it sounds good. From theirself-titled album.

The Corinthians will be joining us for a chat very soon. You can catch them live at the Rathole Roadshow on Friday May 11th at LEAF On Bold St along with 20lb Sounds, P’Chenga and Thom Morecroft. Entry is free and all are welcome so tell your friends!

• 18:48 – Loudog – Music – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A German reggae band who I’ve played on the show before, but not this song. I heard this tune on The Bugcast some time ago and then it cropped up on CCHits this week. I suspect that Dave Lee submitted it. He gets everywhere.
• 22:13 – L’Fabrik – On Arrose – CC BY Licensed – Some French rap for you. It’s been a while since I played any. No idea what they’re saying for the most part, it could be rdiculously offensive but hopefully not. Nice beats. Suggested to me by listener Simon Vass. Released 2009, on Jamendo.
• 29:37 – Paul and Storm – Live – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – I saw Paul & Storm live in Manchester supporting Jonathan Coulton. Apparently they wrote this tune during a challenge to write a song like JoCo. JonTheNiceGuy, creator of CCHits was sat next to me at that gig BTW.
• 33:15 – YACHT – Shangri-La (instrumental) – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – The opening track from the last CCHits weekly show and man it’s a cracker. Beautiful bit of instrumental music. It’s doing really well on CCHits and getting loads of votes.

My friend and cohort Andrew Bates is now doing a music show on Halton Community Radio. You candownload his first show right here. It’s well worth a listen.

• 44:00 – Leslie Hunt – Lonely Home – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – From her album “Your Hair Is On Fire”, possibly a tribute to the late Michael Jackson.
• 50:12 – LIVE SONG – My rendition of “Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town” byPearl Jam. One of my all time favourite bands. Hope the Eddie Vedder impression stands up.
• 54:21 – Overcolored - Entering The Rat Race – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – Polish instrumental rock I heard on Jamendo. Worth checking out their album.
• 64:13 – The Beards – You Should Consider Having Sex With A Bearded Man – License Unknown – The crazy Australian beard loving band are back. This track was actually released last year but I just came across it. Check out the video it’s great!
