This is the post-Homegame, ‘dear Jesus please just let me sleep for a week, good god someone please fetch me a green vegetable’ podcast.
I can just about keep my head together enough to get through this, but then I have the Monday listings to write and the bloody Francois/This is the Kit/Babe gig to organise tonight as well. Aargh!
I also have all sorts of other things to do this week, but after the sort of mind-boggling battering your mind and your liver get at Homegame I am not sure I can face any of it. I am going back to sleep, wake me up in June.

02. Randolph’s Leap – Counting Sheep (7:57)
03. Josh T. Pearson – Country Dumb (Piano Version) (13.57)
04. The Singleman Affair – If I Only Fell in Love When I Was Young (21.16)

Sorry, this is the best I can do.
And since I’m on holiday this weekend too, you’ll take what you’re given and bloody like it.
If I’ve missed anything, comment away.
“Ritualistic feedback and guitar decomposition”. A co-promote from like-minded purveyors of weirdo sounds Braw Gigs and Winners Dinnae Shiver. Matthew would hate it. Which makes it even better for the rest of us.
The “Legendary” Vaselines. What’s good enough for Kurt Cobain, [insert your own punchline here].
A night of ‘instant cinema and improvised sound”. Again, Matthew would probably have a minor aneurism at the very idea. I really like it when he goes on holiday.
Much-touted rising stars and general good eggs The Last Battle get their debut album out the door. Matt Norris sounds worth a gander too.
Kid Canaveral are really good. I’ve not heard Night Noise Team. I can’t feel my eyes.
[Bart composed this post last week while frantically preparing for End Of The Road and rigorously practising both with his own band, Eagleowl, and their Canadian comrades, Woodpigeon. He was last seen pogo dancing in a wooded glade in Dorset with a wild, almost feral look in his eyes. His current whereabouts remain unknown.]
Welcome back to the Song, by Toad Fresh Air show, with the lovely Ruth. This week we have Russell from Mammoeth live in session, although the poor bugger’s already done a brilliant session for us before Christmas which was unfortunately swallowed by the Fresh Air computers, which are a bit like a suspiciously special needs version of Hal most of the time.
Last week’s Session with The Last Battle can be found at the bottom of the page, in the form of downloadable session tracks, a podcast of the interview and session videos. The sound is really nice considering there were six of them and we only have two microphones.
I’ll fill in the playlist live below from 8pm onwards, so please come and say hello, shout mindless abuse or whatever else it is you internet people spend your time doing.
1. The Besnard Lakes – Chicago Train
2. Liars – Scarecrow On A Killer Slant
3. Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse – Revenge
4. Bjork – Generous Palmstroke (Live)
5. Mammoeth- Scrambled Eggs (Live in Session)
6. Dirty Projectors – Two Doves
7. Mammoeth – Trigonometry (Live in Session)
8. Berzilla Wallin – Conversation with Death (Oh Death)
9. Sparklehorse – Heart of Darkness
10. Mammoeth – I’m Glad That I Died Today (Live in Session)
11. Mammoeth – Lap Dog
