The Xmas Special with Wrongtom For those who’ve been asking, it should be podcast sometime after Jan 9th when Resonance returns to normal scheduling. (1)
Me and Wrongtom back on Rhythm Inc Tune in to Resonance 104.4FM this Friday (21st Dec.) a 4pm to hear me and Wrongtom’s Christmas Special! (4)
Jel rocks the MPC live Hell yes: Jel’s live MPC playing is rightly held in high regard. Now he’s looking for gigs. Watch the vid, then hook it up people! (2)
Aupheus remix: download here That Aupheus remix of Buck65 I mentioned (and played on Rhythm Inc) is now available for download here. Go get some! (0)
… in which Tom reveals the real reason he wanted to do this soundtrack-themed special, Trick nurses a hangover, the merits of fake film bands are discussed, the duo forget the name of a certain Bond film and much fine music is played inbetween times.
With music from the likes of Sven Libaek, Bill Conti, King Curtis, Monty Norman, Roland Alphonso, Pink Floyd (!) and even the appearance of those mad dramatic synth stab moments from Teen Wolf, this is, well, more of the same from our laconic (ha!) pair…
… in which Trick rolls out Wildbirds, Peacedrums and the polymetric metal of Meshuggah, Tom drops Calypso and yacht rock, we procure our own Jukebox Jury and we nearly get ourselves in hot water with Ofcom over remarks made about one of the presenters allegedly - ALLEGEDLY - once sharing the same dealer as a certain Stevie Wonder soundalike funkster with many cars and a bad temper.
With Tom just back from a trip to NYC, this show was sure to contain some fine purchases from the likes of TurntableLab and other heavenly vinyl spots. The Inconsolables, Super Cat, Ssion, Magic Mike and DJ Buck all feature from the Wrongest one, with Trick’s selections including Sly Stone affiliate Jim Ford, current Hot New Act™ Neon Neon and his beloved Trenchmouth.
Coupled with conversation ranging from how epiphanies get fewer and further between as you get older through to whether we should take the station manager hostage and beat him with leather straps, this is, well, just another show from Messrs Trick and Tom really…
Just to let you all know that myself and Wrongtom will be taking to the airwaves tomorrow once again for more music and chat in the old-soaks-by-the-fire style. With Tom fresh back from break in NYC (confessing that he had to purchase another suitcase to transport all his purchases back), there’s going to be much to get through.
In addition, we will both be doing a separate solo “outtakes” show each, which will air in coming weeks and also be podcast as per usual. Basically, we both find ourselves with a shortlist of some 20 songs to air each time we do the show, and so it made sense for us to each do a show of all our selections that didn’t make it to the main programme.
So, tune in tomorrow at 4pm on Resonance 104.4FM, and remember if you can’t get the FM stream you can listen live online, or even via our new Resonance widget on Facebook and Netvibes that allows you to stream the station straight off your web browser.
Oh, and our mobile number will be active as ever, so please so text in with the usual thoughts, comments, spurious questions, offers of cash* and anything else you fancy: 07948 428963. In the unlikely event that you’re an overseas listener, remove that first zero and slap in +44 instead.
For last week’s show I thought I’d play through some of the stuff I was going to play on the last show with Tom, not to mention one or two followup tracks, such as the Pedro remix that commenter Foreverware recommended. Given we podcast all the other Trick n’ Tom shows, I figure it is only fair to post this one up too, though I’ll admit I won’t be podcasting it on the Trick and Tom feed as I don’t think its a “proper” show as such.
Anyways, here is the tracklisting:
1. Pedro - Fear and Resilience (Cherrystones RMX)
2. The Heavy - Coleen
3. Tony Alvon and the Belairs - Sexy Coffee Pot
4. Obsession77 - Atomic Forest
5. Galactic - I Got It (What You Need)
6. Cinematic Orchestra - Rites of Spring (Live)
7. Tim Buckley - Pleasant Street/You Keep Me Hanging On
When I was getting tracks together for the last show with Wrongtom, I selected more than I was ever going to get to play. Hence, having recorded the show, I had a good four or five songs left over.
So, with that in mind I’ve decided to use this week’s Rhythm Incursions as a kind of “Trick n’ Tom Outtakes” show, playing all the songs I didn’t get time to air, along with a few choice new releases.
With the exception of the first couple of posts below, the URLs for downloads are all a bit messed up thanks to a server move on my part. I’m just working on a SQL call to fix them all, but in the meantime if anything isn’t working, simply download the “wordpress/” bit from the URL. I’ll post again when its all sorted.
UPDATE: all sorted now; all download links should work fine. If they don’t, please let me know…
So, our first show of 2008, and what a fine show it is too. Recorded and aired last Friday (the 1st Feb) on Resonance FM, this show took in anything from Mush Records’ Pedro to Dennis Bovell, Donovan to This Heat, we played tunes and speculated on such pressing issues as whether we should do a themed show based on the musicians who had slept with Winona Ryder, what the hell that accent was that Donovan spoke with on Atlantis and whether house music was actually good or not… all augmented by text messages from our honourable listeners. And John Amino.
Me and Tom will be back on the air this Friday, live on Resonance 104.4FM at 4pm (GMT). Expect tales of Tom’s recent trip to China, hapless cueing errors and the usual “two old soaks by the fire” vibe. And, natch, some fine, FINE tunes.
Listen online via Resonance FM or if you’re really lazy, wait for the podcast.
A lot of people have been chasing for a podcast of our Christmas Special that aired live on Resonance last December (the 21st, to be precise), so I’m pleased to say it is finally online for you to wrap your loving ears around.
I should also outline that we’re now going to podcast these shows on a separate feed to the Rhythm Incursions one, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, there are other Rhythm Inc podcasts I needed to get online, and I felt these live shows would get lost in amongst them. Secondly, its quite clear these Trick n’ Tom shows are developing a fanbase of their own, and so it only makes sense to provide them separately for people on that basis.
So: if you need a URL to paste into your podcatcher of choice, it is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/mrtrickandwrongtom. If you’re an iTunes user, search for us in the Podcast Directory as usual. I’ve only just added the feed, so maybe give it a couple of days to get approved and all that.
