Right then, for those of you wondering where the podcasts have gone....do not fear they will hopefully return next month. I'm in the process of putting together a new studio and as usual things are going far from to plan. In the meantime I'm to put together a Burning World playlist on a roughly weekly basis. As you can probably tell from the track listing below it contains some pretty hot stuff from some of the best new and forthcoming releases I've heard this week. I've zipped the file as individual tracks. If you would prefer one long file then let me know but I think this is the best way to do it. Don't forget, if you hear something you like then please go out and make the purchase.Enjoy.

Maps 2006-10-30 09:08:00
I knew it would be worth the trip. It's just a shame that a few more people didn't. I'm talking about the brilliant Maps gig which I was fortunate enough to witness at Fibbers in York last Friday. I always find it quite embarassing when a band has to play in front of an extremely dissapointing crowd. It's safe to say however that the sparce audience did not reflect the sounds produced on stage. Maps were simply sublime. Fed on a diet of bands like My Bloody Valentine, Spiritulized etc. Maps mainman James certainly knows how to create a sound capable of removing paint from the walls. The band release their new single "Don't Fear" through Last Space Recordings on 30th October and have a few gigs coming up. Get off your ass and get to the gig. You won't be dissapointed.

Xerox Teens 2006-10-17 11:31:00 London anarcho-punks XeroxTeens
are hitting the road in November and you would be well advised to try and catch up with them. I wouldn't get too close though because you never know if they might be carrying some kind of lethal object. I mean with names like Danny Fancy, Dirt Dog Cash, Pinstripe, Uber and Nuvo you have to start asking questions. Seriously though Xerox Teens are one of the most exiting bands around. Their blatant disregard for anything which has gone before is admirable. They really couldn't give a shit and that's why you simply have to make an effort to experience the madness.

One Second Bridge 2006-10-17 10:59:00 If it's pure lovelyness your after then you can't go far wrong with One Second
Bridge. It's basically a collaboration between Vicente GarcÃa Landa, originally from Mexico City and Matias Bieniaszewski, originally from Buenos Aires. They met apparently through a record shop owning older brother and boy am I glad they did. One Second Bridge glide along effortlessly taking in beautiful gliding guitars, minimal electronics and some bloody good songs. I know some people are going to call them shoegazers but I'll tell you now there's a lot more to them than that. Let them into your life.

The Nightingales - Out Of True 2006-10-16 16:26:00
I've never been keen on bands re-forming and making comebacks. It usually results in a damp squib of a gig, a sub standard record and a previously legendary reputation in reduced to tatters.Imagine then my dismay at finding a new album by the legendary Nightingales landing on my doorstep. The Nightingales released their first single "Idiot Strength" back in 1981 and followed it in 1982 with their debut album "Pigs On Purpose" through Cherry Red Records. Although I was too young to enjoy it at the time (eight years old) I did get a copy a few years later around the time of their "What A Carry On" single in 1985. So what you may ask are The Nightblooms doing releasing a new album in 2006. Despite my initial reservations it seems that this is one comeback worth making. The band do not seem to have even begum to mellow with age. In fact this record sounds as if it could almost be a debut album such is the freshness and the attitude. I really hope that people take this release on face v
The Boo Radleys - Ichabod & I 2006-10-06 10:16:00 This was the first record from Liverpool's Boo Radleys. The reason for this post is that people keep asking me on almost a weekly basis if I have a copy of Ichabod & I and I dont think it will do much harm to post the whole thing now since there were only ever 500 copies pressed and as far as I know it has never been re-issued. It's a shame really because this is a brilliant record.Enjoy.The Boo Radleys - Ichbod & I1. Elenor Everything2. Bodenheim Jr3. Catweazle4. Sweet Salad Birth5. Hip Clown Rag6. Walking 5th Carnival7.

Fury Of The Headteachers 2006-09-26 17:55:00
It must be great to live in Sheffield these days at the hub of a seemingly endless production line of new interesting bands. I'm not talking about the ones which appeal to the mass media and make stacks of dosh, I'm talking about the plethora of exellent unsigned talent which circles around this great northern city. One of the best bands I've heard for some time celebrate under the rather brilliant moniker Fury Of The Headteachers. They have a sound which I'm sure Sonic youth would kill for. Loud pounding basslines, distorted guitars and a singer who wouldn't look out place in a Happy Flowers gig all make for one of the best and most individual sounds around. This lot are most certainly not bandwagon jumpers and I suspest that if you even suggested that to them you may have something larfe inserted in a place you would rather not.Fury Of The Headteachers released their debut single "Fables" through Grace Records earlier this year and although it was limited to just 300 copies a
The Boyfriends 2006-09-26 13:57:00
The Boyfriends are a four piece from London. Their debut single "I Love You" was released back in February and I'm asahmed to admit that I missed it at the time, an error for which I punish myself by beating my thumb with a large hammer on a daily basis. Their second single "Adult Acne" however did not slip though the net and was played on Burning World #7. I don't think it will be too long before the rest of the civilized world catches onto the simple yet charming tunes The Boyfriends appear to be able to spawn at will.The band have just released their third single "Once Upon A Time" and will present the world with their eponymously titled debut album on 2nd October through Boobytrap records, a couple of tracks from which can be heard below.

From the mind of Wilson J Bontempi 2006-09-13 19:01:00 Soooo, it's been a while, but it's good to be back.I made the mistake of going drinking with Mr Waaah, Man, that motherfucker is crazy! I'm not going to go into detail, but I was left in no doubt that this cat needs a straight jacket!! Great night man. So down to business. Just what has been cluttering up my ears this week?I'll tell you.First off the bat was Jerry Ropero & Denis The Menace, with Coracao.Three decent remixes, with my favourite being the Axwell remix. Big bouncy base baby yeah, reminded me of the mid nineties, released on Subliminal, this EP is pretty sweet.Jerry Ropero & Denis The Menace - Coracao (Axwell Remix)What else was there?.....Ah yes the familiarly titled Power Of Love by Quentin Harris.A soulful bouncy little number, I liked the simplicity of this one. It grows on you. Released nearly two weeks ago on Jellybean Soul, this comes with four mixes including a dub mix.Quentin Harris - Power Of Love (ain't nothin' but a house party mix)Last and yes least!

Larrikin Love 2006-09-02 09:17:00
Larrikin Love will release their long awaited debut album on 25th September. "The Freedom Spark" will follow the new single "Happy As Annie" which will hit the shops on 11th September. The band are currently on tour in the UK... well actually they're having a few nights off because Micko has gone and knackered his shoulder by falling over whilst paddling in a shallow stream at the Secret Garden festival thus forcing the band to cancel their gigs in Swindon (1st September) and Swindon (2nd September), but they expect him to be fit enought to see out the rest of the tour, see their my space site for details.

The Fall - 30th Aniversary 1970-01-01 00:59:59 There can be very few bands who can claim to have been active for no less than thirty years and still sound as fresh as the day they were born. In fact the only one I can think of is The Fall. Perhaps it's got something to do with the fact that Mark E. Smith seems to sack band members as one of his favorite pastimes, or perhaps it's more to do with the fact that Smith is a complete one off. Over the last three decades he has stubbornly refused to follow trends or sell out to the powers that be. Over the last couple of years he has even gone as far as walking off stage half way through just because he felt like it and on the last tour cancelling gigs at very late notice. As annoying as Mark E. Smith can be you just have to admire his unshakeable attitude and self belief.This is a recording of the recent 30th anniversary gig which took place at the New Century Hall in Manchester on 10th June. It's apparently the 30th anniversary of the original line up, Mark E. Smith, Una Baines, Mart

The Rifles - No Love Lost 1970-01-01 00:59:59 This year just keeps getting better and better. It seems like every week there's another fantastic new band with another brilliant debut album. I mean so far this year we have had moments of pure perfection from The Longcut and had our ears burned off by Be Your Own Pet to name but two and long may it continue. This week it's the turn of The Rifles
who released their latest single "She's Got Standards" a couple of weeks ago and you can hear it on this weeks Burning World program below. The single comes in lovely pink vinyl and is worth buying just to sit and look at spinning round on your turntable. The Rifles release their debut album on 17th July and it is yet another contender for the top of the end of year lists. Eleven jerky pop/punk anthems each of which leave most of their peers sat in the shade. This'll still be on my ipod at Christmas.www.therifles.co.ukwww.myspace.com/therifles

2006 1970-01-01 00:59:59 To be fair this only just scratches the surface of a year which has seen a vast quantity of great records. These are just some of the records which have given me a huge amount of pleasure this year, selfish yes but then it's kind of that time of year and I don't care so there you go. Thanks to all the bands, labels etc who have sent records and cd's in to Burning World this year and next year we aim to be even bigger and better and in order to achieve this I will be looking for some people to help out with regular reviews etc. If you've got a bit of spare time and you want to see your thoughts on these pages please drop me a line. In the meantime that's it for this year, have a great new year and if you don't wake up with a hangover then you've not done it properly.2006 1. 4 Navigators - Hungarock (STK)2.
