Just when you thought it was safe… another Rathole Radio surfaces! This time I play my usual mix of eclectic music by the best independant and Creative Commons artists. We’ve got some Sourthern Rock, some electro, some jaunty jazz, some Nerdcore and plenty more besides. I also give my rendition of one of my favourite songs, “Mr Jones” by Counting Crows, complete with suspect guitar tuning and the occasional wrong chord. Well at least it proves it’s live. Hope you enjoy the ride.
A weekend camping trip to North Wales ended up lasting a day longer than planned and I only just arrived home in time for this show. Unprepared, tired and sun burnt I somehow managed to pull off another Rathole Radio. I enjoyed it a lot and everyone in the chatroom seemed to as well. Have a listen for yourself and see what you think.

Another Rathole Radio is upon us. I have to confess I didn’t broadcast this show live as I was out watching England V Germany in the World Cup. We were so comprehensively beaten in that game I’m glad I pre-recorded this. I wasn’t in much of a mood to do it after. Still, it’s a great show I think and I hope you all enjoy it. Don’t forget to leave comments and get in touch. Normal service will be resumed next time I promise.
Back after a brief sojourn Ian and I take a trip to The Liverpool Art prize show at Metal at Edge Hill to record this podcast - so listen out for the trains and just for extra impact it's unedited.

Back in May Ernie Paniccioli called into our office with Mike Badger. Ernie had been over here for Liverpool Sound City, to launch his exhibition and for an in conversation style event with the godfather of hip hop, Afrika Bambaataa after a preview of his film The Other Side of Hip Hop.
I wasn't prepared for the interview but I'm not sure that mattered, as even I didn't want to hear my voice I just wanted to hear what Ernie had to say. I've pieced together Ernie's speech at the opening of his exhibition and then the chat we had in our office. The other people present are Ian and Mina Jackson from artinliverpool.com
