Thanks for coming here from Youtube.  
This is a new series promoting Independent musicians who need to be heard.
Each episode has four clips of four tracks seamless edited together to be as smooth as possible.




                                                                      Walker Brigade

Well, this ended up being a nice shot of music morphine I didn't realise I needed.
A great blend of pop, Punk and a drunken bass player shooting in all the right directions. After a few songs into ‘ If Only’ with Fallout, opening the album, sounds reminiscent of Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. This is one of these albums that just stands out. It gets addictive fast. 
Tracey Walker’s vocal style is like a cross between Courtney Love and Iggy Pop
The video is for ‘ I’m tired’ which the last non remix song on the album.






A Happy Wobble Vibe
This songs is a great sound and great vocal style. To me it the song reminded me of The Happy Mondays, Jah Wobble and also it reminded me of the 90s classic ‘ Weekender’ by Flowered Up.
Nice funky sound and funky vocals.

Reminds me of this 90s classic 




Amoeba Teen

From the opening song Mainstream, from the album of the same name, you get a Beatles, flashback. Great bassline and all round great pop album with selective alternative sounding songs that break up the pop with Barlight Crawl and the last song King of the Cut, which is still poppy.
I like both styles but they could have easily recorded two different albums. 
That being said the odd song balance out well with the rest. 



Dan Armstrong
Ft Sarah B (Nature of Wires)


Sarah, who is best known to many as lead female vocalist with Nature of Wires, has turned summer girl on this more summery club vibe here.
Overcome, is a collaboration with synth musician Dan Armstrong.  
The beats are nice and light and is geared towards the summer crowds.

The History of Record Shops

Image
Since I have been helping to promote local record shops Strummer Room Records and new Mac’s Music Store here in Banbury  (One way of being involved), It occurred to me that not much attention historically is being paid towards record shops.  As a former owner of record shop Demand  Records ( still dabble with online vinyl album sales)(I miss it like crazy), I thought I would focus on this.  I realised recently that my shop is a part of. Over the decades there have been independent and chain stores. Depends where you live. The starting point is Banbury, who knows where this may lead?  I have decided to make this journey broader.  I thought to myself I am bound to get asked at some point. At the moment this is a few blogs and the start of an ongoing series on Youtube. This may lead to a documentary at some point. But not getting too far ahead of myself.                                                      Picture of Strummer Room Recorfs Strummer Room Records ( 4 years walk in and online

Finally, i can now play vinyl records again on radio

Before the headlines, an update.... Co Presenter The radio variety show has always been able to evolve or move in various directions. Reason for the difficult task of finding a good name for the show In April 2015, i found a co presenters, Educational publisher and graphic designer, Darren Coles. We began messing about on radio, and wanted to come up with a duo name. For some reason, animals come into conversation and we ended up with, Dog and Crow. I am Dog and Darren is Crow. Partly the reason, for this is because, Darren, can do a wicked, Crow sound and i can do a Dog one Show HQ has moved again A place i have been waiting for over a year finally landed. My father knew of a couple who were to rent a house. I was in the position to move in, but heard nothing for long time. Then the chess pieces fell into place, hired a van to move the gear and we landed into new HQ, beginnig of November 2015 Improvements Darren has a technical mind. He has gear, has been in bands and can se

The travel guide of Fun For Louis, aka Louis Cole

Back in the day, when TV and traveling around the world to different places was kind of everywhere, it was really entertaining, This has all but gone from the main British channels. One TV series that stood out was " The Rough Guide" taking you to the non tourist area's, well places where they allowed TV cameras That was the 1990s, now fast forward to 2014/2015 Youtube is now the place for many people to watch, essentially, TV. At the start, Youtube is not what it is now. However, more people are vlogging ( Short for video blog), comedy and documentaries. I am not a fan of collecting loads of people on Youtube and subscribing, as there is a lot of channels with the same stuff. You have, revewers, technology and gaming, which does get tedious after a while. It takes something good to grab my attention and one such person, from Surrey, England. is Louis Cole Although his, Youtube, life didn't start out daily vlogging or travelling, it is now the content he
