Times New Viking 2008-03-04 10:07:00 This fine gig was recorded at New York's Bowery Ballroom just last week on 25th February. "Rip It Off" is one of my most favoritist records of the year thus far. They were supporting Super Furry Animals on this particular night and sound great. I think the possibility exists that the tracks may not all be in the correct order as they were played on the night due to the fact that I put the files together after consuming rather too much achohol but it doesn't really matter.

My Bloody Valentine - Vancouver 1992 2008-03-02 02:47:00 Well it's almost upon us. After fifteen years of apparent inactivity one of the greatest bands ever to grace this planet are about to return....and muggins here hasn't got a ticket. I'm gutted I must admit but the prospect of a new album will hopefully make up for it. The reformation of My Bloody Valentine
is not something I ever expected would really happen what with all the promises and false rumours over the years. The band are playing across three towns in the UK, London, Glasgow & Manchester. All the UK dates have now sold out but as soon as I can get a decent quality recording of any of these gigs I'll put it on this site for all to enjoy. This is probably the best sounding My Bloody Valentine
bootleg I have. It was recorded back in 1992 on the famous Loveless tour and sounds abs Read more:Vancouver
Playlist 49 2008-02-29 09:02:00 Who would have thought it. 2008 and old time renegade Nick Cave returns with a bloody good album. I've never being particularly into Nick Cave but I did enjoy some of his records around the turn of the nineties. So when a new Nick Cave album came spinning in my direction I had to spend some time deciding what would be the best use for it. Only some days later did I risk introducing it to a cd player and then only because I'd just cleared up some cat poo and was trying to think what could be worse. Enter "Dig!!! Lazurus Dig!!!" which is the title of both the new album and the single hence. The track itself is great and can be heard in the program below but the album is a bit of a corker and see's Mr Cave in great form. It may well be the last great thing he does but if so then what a way to Read more:Playlist

Another Sunny Day - London Weekend 2008-02-27 04:13:00 I didn't realise how scarce this record was until I saw it on e-bay a couple of weeks ago changing hands for about fifty four quid. Originally released on the legendary Sarah Records (SARAH 613) in 1993 after a string of classic singles such as "I'm In Love With A Girl Who Doesn't Know I Exist", You Should All Be Murdered" and "What Happened". The band basically consisted of one Harvey Williams who seemed to do just about everything although on this album he did enlist the help of a few others including Bob Wratten and Michael Hiscock from The Field Mice. The long and short of it is that "London Weekend
" is a record everyone should own, if only as audio files. I know it's always nice to have an original copy but with so few copies around and then at highly inflated prices this will just ha Read more:Sunny
Strawberry Whiplash 2008-02-23 03:26:00 Since the year dot there has always been a constant stream of good pop bands from Scotland and in particular Glasgow. Last the playlist below (playlist 48) features the latest two to come to my attention although I'm sure there is probably at least another dozen just waiting to be uncovered. Both Strawberry
Whiplash and Bubblegum Lemonade (for it is they) both have new records out on Matinee Records. Perhaps the label has a whole bunch of scouts roaming the streets of Glasgow like secret agents eavesdropping on conversations in bars, phone tapping venues and torturing students until they tell their secrets. Or maybe it's just something in the porridge, leftovers from the legacy of great bands like The Jesus & Mary Chain and The Pastels. Whatever the reason Glasgow continues to churn ou
Playlist 48 2008-02-21 02:55:00 Here we go then with the 48th installment of ear sizzling goodness. This weeks featured artist is the wonderfull Be Your Own Pet whose second album "Get Awkward" is already poised to be one of the most important releases of the year. Of course we still have the new Fall to come which is now going to be called "Imperial Wax Solvent". I think it's schedueled for March release through Castle so all being well we won't have much longer to wait. Anyway back to this weeks playlist and it's fair to say that there is some pretty awsome stuff on this one. In particular the new tracks by Strawberry Whiplash and Bubblegum Lemonade are worthy of Brits...arf arf...did you watch that shambles on the telly. Nothing but a bunch of back patting caviar snorting media darlings who wouldn't know talent if Mar Read more:Playlist
Disconcerts 2008-02-20 09:36:00 Don't you just love bands which it is virtually impossible to get any info on! If you've been downloading the playlists over the last couple of months you'll already be quite familiar with Disconcerts who's "Books, Chairs, Thoughts" E.P. still gives me palpitations every time it hijaks my i-pod. They play a brand of quirky pop punk not unlike The Fire Engines or The Fall (new album coming soon!) and are playing a gig in London with These New Puritans next month which if it didn't happen to be 200 miles away I would certainly be attending. I saw These New Puritans last week and they were very good although a slightly longer set wouldn't have gone amiss. I think they played for about 28 minutes, but it was a very good 28 minutes.The London gig is at The Metro on 20th March and if you can mak
Downliners Sekt 2008-02-20 09:06:00 As far as attitudes towards music go Downliners Sekt are in a class of their own. To say they are non-commercial is an understatement. It's music purely for the love of it and let's share it with everyone. Record label bosses must be scratching their heads in puzzlement of such an novel stance. I really wish more bands would see the benefits of giving music away in order to get it heard by the largest possible audience instead of being all poncy. The band have just released their second album and I must admit if I had to pay ten quid on Amazon for it I would not be dissapointed for it is a work of art. It's called "The Saltire Wave" and the band are actively encouraging people to download it and share it in any way they feel free. If you go to the bands website you can still download the f
Playlist 47 2008-02-17 05:20:00 Another top quality playlist for you this week. Things are really hotting up now with 2008 shaping up to be a blinding year. This weeks featured artist is Lemuria who come fighting out of Buffalo, New York with one hell of an album. To be honest this is the first record I've heard from the band but I'm certainly going to try and track down some of their previous stuff. Anyway this weeks playlist contains three tracks from the new album and gives a good account of the rest of the record which I hope you will consider buying when it's released on 26th February. Please feel free to leave comments on the site. You all seem to have gone a bit quiet recently. It's always good to get some feedback about the tracks on these playlists whether it's to compliment a track or even to say what a load of Read more:Playlist

Playlist 44 2008-01-27 03:01:00 Another week, another brilliant record. It seems at the moment there is at least one record a week that makes the world a much nicer place to be. This week the record in question is the debut album by Columbus, Ohio's Times New Viking. Sixteen tracks of guitar spanking goodness. If I were a doctor I would prescribe you a full dose twice daily for your general well being. I think it's pretty certain that they will be next weeks featured artist. This weeks featured artist however is the superb Eats Tapes who's debut album "Dos Mutantes" I somehow managed to miss last year. There seems to be quite a lot of quality experimental electronic artists coming through now which is very good to see from a scene which in my opinion has stagnated somewhat over recent years. I got an album just yesterda Read more:Playlist

Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about it. The company which hosts my webspace decided to do an audit and as a result decided that the files for this site contravened the terms of service and promptly deleted them. I don’t keep back ups of the playlists so short of putting them all back together again from scratch they’ve gone. Not to worry though this weeks program is a bit of a blinder if I do say so myself.

Playlist 42 2008-01-13 06:38:00 This weeks program features The Magnetic Fields in the much coveted featured artist slot. The three tracks come from "Distortions" their new album which will be flying out of stores up and down the country as we speak. The record has had mixed reviews with people either loving or hating it, without much middle ground. Personally I think it's the best material the band have produced thus far and I hope it does very well for them. Also in this weeks program new stuff from Blood Red Shoes whose long awaited debut album will finally materialise in the spring, another track from the best ep I've heard for ages. I'm talking of course about Disconcerts who I really hope are not just going to be one of those bands who make one excellent record and then walk off the edge of a cliff never to be hear Read more:Playlist

Foals - Cassius (Transgressive) I’ve no idea exactly what this is. It’s the first track from a two track promo CD. New single perhaps?

Playlist 2007 2007-12-30 07:37:00 This playlist very nearly didn't happen. My home computer decided that Boxing Day would be the day when it finally gave up the ghost and died. A pretty catastrophic event because tons of stuff has been lost including the most recent 134 albums which people have sent in to Burning World in digital format. I feel really bad about this because people and bands have been good enough to send me them and clearly have their lives involved in these things and now in the blink of an eye...all gone. This playlist was originallyprepared last week and so was also lost in what has become known in my house as Black Thursday.

Bogshed - Peel Session 26th October 1987 2008-03-14 03:17:00 Bogshed came blasting out of deepest darkest Yorkshire in 1985 with their debut 12 inch "Let Them Eat Bogshed" on Vinyl Drip Records. Their second single was released the following year on Starfish Records and preceded the bands classic debut album "Step On It" which appeared later that year.Bogshed recorded a total haul of five Peel Session

Sarandon - Kill Twee Pop 2008-03-13 03:14:00 Kill Twee Pop? Seems a strange thing to say when your signed to a label responsible for some of the twee'est moment in twee history. Perhaps they're working on it from the inside and soon Slumberland will be a twee free zone. Either way this is a record you won't forget in a hurry not least because it comes on a lovely ten inch slab of blue vinyl which looks ever so pretty (but not twee) rotating on the turntable. Slumberland say this is the bands debut album but I'm almost sure there was an album a couple of years ago. Much like The Fall they seem to change band members on a fairly frequent basis. The album starts as it means to go on with the angst fueled title track "Kill Twee Pop" the geezer shouts in a demented fashion. I have to say it sounds great cranked up as loud as your system w
Playlist 52 2008-03-17 06:22:00 Another week, another set of great tunes. This weeks featured artist is the awesome Carsick Cars from Beijing. Their debut album is totally brilliant but I get the impression it might be a bit tricky to track down. Other highlights this week include a track from the new These New Puritans ep, a track from the new and suprisingly good Chumbawamba album and a couple of oldies from Babes In Toyland and the mighty Half Man Half Biscuit a new album from whom must be due soon.

<<>> The Orb - Kiss E.P. <<>> 2008-03-20 14:41:00 This was the very first e.p. from The Orb. Released back in 1989 on Wau Mr Modo records it was apparently based on samples from New York City's Kiss FM. While it's not a classic it's definately worth a listen. Later that year the twenty minute monster "A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld" would be released and confirm The Orb as ambient masters.

just a few days ago. I had the pleasure of seeing Casiotone in York last week and to be honest I wasn't expecting too much but on the night they (or to be more precise he) were great and I'm glad I made the effort to go. This set is pretty similar to the one played that night and if you like it I would recommend you track down some of the records of which there are quite a few but the best place to start is probably with their latest release "Etiquette" which is avaliable in The Burning World Record Shop.

Playlist 53 2008-03-22 04:58:00 Well it's finally here. Just yesterday I became the proud owner of the new album by The Fall. For the last two months I've been waiting impatiently for it to arrive and finally the day has come. On first listen it's well up to standard and already I prefer it over last years "Reformation" album. This playlist would probably have been online yesterday were it not for the fact that I had to re-jig it to include a track from the new Fall album "Imperial Wax Solvent". There are two tracks on it which I think will be in most people's lists at the end of the year. There's a great little number called "I've Been Duped" which I've been singing to myself for the last twelve hours or so and then there's "50 Year Old Man" which is kind of seperated into three sections and comes in at over ten minutes Read more:Playlist

Novak - Peel Session 14th April 1999 >>>Request<<< 2008-03-29 07:23:00 Novak formed in Birmingham around 1996. Their debut single "Silver Seas" was released as a seven inch through Earworm Records in November 1996 and if I remember correctly the early copies came in some kind of cloth sleeve. Just the kind of marketing that I always fall for. Next came a string of perfectly good singles on the Choosy label before the bands one and only album appeared in April
1999. This session was first broadcast a couple of weeks before the album was released and presents the band at the peak of their powers. You would have thought then that this session would contain four tracks from the album in a bid to promote the record but in true Peel Session
fashion actually contains two new tracks which as far as I'm aware have never seen the light of day. Novak's was short and swe Read more:Novak

The line up for this years festival looks pretty good as well (see poster above) and I wouldn't arf mind going myself.
