Sorry about the delay in getting these show notes up. I posted the podcast yesterday, but didn't have the time to do these notes.
This week's podcast once again features bands from New Zealand, where Peter Jackson filmed The Lord Of The Rings. Again, many thanks to Benjamin Somerville from Venture Electric for his help. Benjamin let me know that while I was enjoying glorious weather in the UK as mentioned in podcasts 25 and 26, it is winter in NZ. And he sent me a photo to prove it (click on the photo to enlarge it).
The 5 tracks played in today's podcast are:
First of all, a track with a harder edge than I've played in a while. Under a Dying Sky, by Alpine Fault, an Auckland based "melodic metal" band. They kindly e-mailed me the latest mix of the song - they are presently in the studio.
Enough, by Amperzahn, also from Auckland. Amperzahn are also in the studio, and again Enough is a demo. Sounded good to me!
I Know What I'd Do, by The Madison Press, another Auckland band. I know what I'd do is their first single, and I predict big things for this band.
F*** All To Do, by The Shrugs. I may be slightly prudish, but I had to think about playing this one purely because of that word in the title. In the end I decide that the song was so good, and the phrase is one that people use, and was not contrived in its context in a song about being at home by yourself in the suburbs, all day, every day.
Benjamin Somerville himself introduced the last song, Cash (or Heather Nova vs Johnny Cash), by Venture Electric. This is one of my favourite songs that I've played on the podcast - it has previously featured in no.s 12 and 13.
Jessica talked to me about Age of Mythology (Gold Edition), a pc game by Ensemble Studios
Soundbed music played today was by Cagey House and Torchomatic. The title music is by Tragic Shellsuit Disaster.
Other news: The Eisenhowers' cd Almost Half Undressed arrived this week. I was able to meet the competition winner Mark Johnson to give him his prize in person.

That was a rare heavy starter for the show, which got me up and out of bed this morning (being ill has its benefits, like listening to podcasts in bed).
My favourite track was The Shrugs. I would barely have noticed the sweary words if you hadn't told me beforehand. The style reminded me a bit of early Fischer Z and a weird Aussie band called TISM who do some FILTHY songs and some very funny clean ones to. This is a pretty clean and catchy one which they had a fan competition to provide a video for. (Cleaner than the Shrugs).
Enjoy and have a good time at the wedding.
