The Would Be's - Peel Session 19th March 1990 2008-04-12 03:29:00 The Would Be's were one of those bands who could have done so much more. They were four kids from Ireland (Dublin I think, but I could be wrong) who released one of the best singles of 1990. Their debut single "I'm Hardly Ever Wrong" reached number 12 in that years Festive 50.Unfortunatly the band only released one more single, a four track e.p. called "Silly Songs For Cynical People" before breaking up in 1991. I did hear from someone that the band re-formed a couple of years ago so if anyone has any more information about that I'd really like to know.

Air Waves - Shine On (Catbird)3. The House Of Love - Shine On (Fontana) I used to quite like The House Of Love at one point. The debut album was totally brilliant and the second, from which this track is taken was nearly as good. The problem was they weren't able to hit quite the same heights with their later work.

North Of The Border 2008-04-14 04:09:00 This was all Mr Vincent's idea. A series of regional playlists showcasing new and exiting bands from different parts of the UK. Vince has decided to start with Scotland and I must say the ten tracks he has selected are seriously good. The one I keep coming back to is "Yorkshire" by Nacional. This is the first track I've heard by the Glasgow five piece who apparently are signed to the mighty Art Goes Pop label along with fellow Scots Isosceles anongst others. Download Here1.

The Orb Vs The Freeze 2008-04-16 09:04:00 This was given away as a free CD with the March issue of Freeze
Magazine in Greece. It's basically one long mix and is another top mix from Dr Alex Paterson. The Dr also does a short interview in the magazine which goes......Freeze: Which was the best “The Orb” line up?Alex: They all had their magic tracks; Andy Hughes had a very good “Wall Of Sound”. Everyone who participated in appearances in “Live Bass and Drums” was equally very “funky”. As for the rest members, with so many gigs they could go back to clubland, where all things started with Orb back in ’88.Freeze: Do you remember any of your sets in Greece, and what is your current style like?Alex: I played a minimal set with a pinch of reggae, but I don’t remember when and where… and it was really hot there!!!

The Fall - Live At The Iron Works 2008-04-17 04:36:00 I just couldn't resist it. Let's face it you can't have too much Fall and with the new album to be released next week it seems only right that we enjoy another gig from the current tour. Personally I think The Fall are sounding fantastic this year although exactly how long this line-up will last is anybody's guess. This was recorded live at The Iron Works
in Inverness on 27th March and is a great recording. This is the sound of The Fall in full flow and this rendition of "50 Year Old Man" is exquisit. The new album "Imperial Wax Solvent" is in my opinion excellent although almost everyone I've spoke to seem to have a different opinions about it which I suppose is a good thing. The album should be avaliable from next week and can be purchased HEREDownload Here1. Intro2. Is This New 3. Wings
Isosceles - BBC Scotland Session 17th April 2008 2008-04-18 11:02:00 This is a great session. It was broadcast live on BBC Scotland
just the other night. The second Isosceles single "Kitch Bitch" a version of which appears here will be released as a 7" next week on the mighty Art Goes Pop label. I saw them in York just the other week and they were brill. One of the best bands in an unbelievably good Scottish scene. They have a few dated coming up :- 27th April

Damn Shames - BBC Scotland Session 5th December 2007 2008-04-19 05:05:00 While we're doing loads of Scottish stuff I think this band is well worth a listen. Damn Shames come from Edinburgh and to my knowledge have released two single to date. Their first release was a 7" single called "Dancing In The Aisles" which was released through Golden Eagle Recordings. I'm not sure if there are any copies still avaliable but if you have a gander HERE you may well find out. Don't despair if you can't find one though because the lead track is on Mr Vincent's "North Of The Border" compilation which you can downoad further down this page. The band's second single "Fear Of Assault" was released a couple of months ago on XL records for whom the band have signed an album deal.This session was originally broadcast on BBC Scotland
on 5th December

Gig view 17.04.08 2008-04-21 13:52:00 boookboy@hotmail.co.ukThe resident writer has put pen to paper and fingers to keys and tapped out this gig review. A great night of entertainment eagerly awaited the Bradford Theatre.I'd been looking forward to this event for weeks and it did not disappoint in any way.This old prestigious theatre was a great venue for live entertainment and apparently a dream to play in.So on with the gig.....................................The first band to perform was the local band know as ULTCULT who were a great start to the nights live music.The experimental pop band was full of catchy melodies and up-lifting songs.The gifted quintet were great to watch and made me look forward to seeing them again soon.The second band to do battle with the stage were Nottingham's finest live act, the LOVVERS.What ca
Playlist 59 2008-04-21 06:25:00 Twenty of the best for you this week. Some great stuff around at the moment and there seems to be a lot more dubby electro this year which is no bad thing at all. Vinyl sales continue to rise as CD sales continue to fall! I remember fifteen years ago people within the industry were predicting the imminent death of vinyl and in particular the seven inch single. I wonder what they would have said if they had known that in fifteen years time vinyl sales would actually be up and CD sales in huge decline. Personally I believe the reason is, and certainly for me that whether you have an album on CD or audio files in your computer makes very little difference so you might as well download it from i-tunes or wherever your preference is, but vinyl... well that's a different bag of kippers entirely.

The Wedding Present - Sweden 1987 2008-04-22 05:29:00 This is probably the best Wedding Present
bootleg I've heard. The Wedding Present formed in Leeds in 1985 and released their first album, the classic "George Best" the following year through Reception Records. This set was recorded on the tour which promoted that classic release which was re-issued last year in extended form. If you've never heard the early Weddo's this is a good place to start. . This set sums up the early Weddo's perfectly, tons of energy, enthusiasm and great songs. David Gedge even has a crack at speaking in Swedish. Classic...The Wedding Present - Sweden

Anyway it's appeared again on 12" vinyl this time around. I think there's a 7" version as well and as far as I can see there's no CD format which speaks volumes don't you think.Conscript - I've Seen God (Noise Attack) Taken from the split EP Cons Read more:Overdrive
The Fall - Radio Sessions (Vol 1) 2008-04-27 06:29:00 I suppose when you think of The Fall's radio sessions the first thing you think about are The Peel Sessions
. Between 1978 and 2004 Peelies favorite band recorded no less than twenty four Peel Sessions and all of them are avaliable on the six CD set "The Complete Peel Sessions" a copy of which I'm sure nestles neatly in the corner of everyones living room. But It wasn't just BBC Radio
One which revered Manchester's finest enough to have them in for a session. I think I'm right in saying that these sessions have never been issued commercially and are to my ears every bit as good as any of The Peel Sessions. Volume two should follow at some point next week.... Vera Gronigen Session - 17th May 19811. Fit & Working Again2. Fantastic Life3. New Face In HellDavid Jensen Session - 1st March 19

John Peel - 21st August 1990 2008-04-28 12:23:00 What's the point in having something if you're not going to share it eh? There are tons of old Peel shows just sitting on shelves gathering dust and most of them haven't been heard in years. We at Burning World think this is verging on the brink of criminal so we're going to dust them down give them a big hug and share them with you. The shows will be posted at roughly weekly intervals and I hope you will take the time to download and enjoy them all over again. The first show we're putting up was originally broadcast on 21st August
1990 and features a session from Crane along with a whole range of wonderfull and exotic gems including The Fall, Pixies and Cutty Ranks amongst others. Sit back and enjoy the show....Download Here
The Fall - Radio Sessions (Vol 2) 2008-05-01 01:46:00 Why is it that whenever Sir Marcus Smithster drags whichever version of The Fall he's currently lording over into a studio to record a radio session the result is always magical and often the tracks which are laid down are better than the album versions. The fact is that over twenty four Peel Sessions
and however many sessions they've done for other programs and stations I can't recall ever thinking "...well that wasn't as good as the album version". My theory is that most Fall tracks are quite simple and Mark E Smith's delivery is very much "of the moment" and this is why when they have to do something in a short space of time it perfectly captures the energy of the band instead of sitting in a studio thinking about it. I'm not saying the albums aren't any good, some of the finest moments Read more:Radio
Re-post// Fuck Buttons - Live At Supersonic 2008-05-02 02:48:00 Back by unpopular demand...This is a fantastic recording of Fuck Buttons
performance at last years Supersonic Festival in Birmingham. I really must catch up with them soon because this must sound brilliant through a decent P.A. system. The line up for this years festival looks pretty good as well (see poster above) and I wouldn't arf mind going myself.The debut Fuck Buttons album "Street Horrrsing" is one of the best albums I've heard in a long time and should have a home on every coffee table in the land.

You can also buy it as a rather limited 7" single with a hand made sleeve as well. Lovely....Look See Proof - Make Me Someone (Weekender)Ghost In The Water - How To Draw A Ghost (Hidden Shoal) This is the track on the B side of the current single "Clean Sinks & Folded Laundry".

Overall a good performance but not to my taste, the style just doesn't mix for me.I LIKE Kyte and I do!!The ambient pop ball of noise from Leicestershire did them self justice and found a new fan in me. A great live performance with an ambient back drop of fluffy layered vocals, left a great feeling of floating around the venu
The Fall - Radio Sessions (Vol 3) 2008-05-09 01:58:00 Here you go then, the third and final slice of Smith worship for the time being. Personally I don't think it's possible to have too much Fall but I have been told that there are persons in existence who actually don't like The Fall. I know it's a strange concept but apparently it's true. My recommendation for these strange creatures is a lengthy session of electro shock treatment to get the juices flowing again. These two live sets are simply sublime but the real treat is in the Mixing It session. The Mark E Smith interviews are just hilarious. He must be one of the most un-interviewable people on the planet. I'd love to see him let loose on Johnathon Ross....Manchester Roadhouse, 8th December 19931. Intro2. M53. Behind The Counter4.
