Connect And Receive, December 2011

I skipped last month because I was too busy with various bands’ tours but I’ve made the December one into a sort of end-of-year review focussing on some of my favourite bands and releases of the year, as well as a couple of things from previous years that I either only discovered recently or came back to in a big way this year. Anyway, here’s the pod:

Connect And Receive, October 2011

Even later than before thanks to my busier-than-usual real world engagements, but I didn't forget my rapidly dwindling listeners, oh no. This month's podcast only features four tracks but is in fact almost ten minutes longer than usual due to the crazy lengths that Nisennenmondai tracks run to.

1. The Warm: Flask (From the 2007 album Fantastic Something)

2. Mir: TV (Unreleased)

3. Kaki: Schokoladige Disko (Unreleased)

4. Nisennenmondai: Mirrorball (From the 2011 live double-album Nisennenmondai Live!!!)
