Mr Trick & Wrongtom: Show #31 (April’09)
This week we take in the usual broad spread of tracks you might not have heard, either because you missed them first time around, or because they’re not out yet. In the former category we have Magazine, Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation, Jawbox, Big Youth and Grinderman, and in the latter we have Paul White, Two Fingers, Band of Skulls and some dubstep with excellent vocals that I can’t remember the name of (take from that what you will)…
On top of all that conversations include the non-funk funk, why Jah Wobble didn’t want to meet Prince, when production sells a track short and Trick’s all-important question of the show, namely “can today’s music still inspire people?”. Comment below!

completely forgot to mention on the show, i’d figure albarn’s quite familiar with dunbar’s work, compare the melody…

There was a G’n'R pinball machine too, y’know. I used to be a big fan.

pinball’s not quite the same though, u can stick any old pic on a pinball machine and re-brand it, this is a whole different matter though http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journey_(video_game)

Hi Hannah – you can get more info on the band at their main website, http://www.bandofskulls.com where you can also listen to the new album via the player on the top left of the screen. Sounds very promising to me; still hold by my comment that the production could do with being a little bit grimier (your ref. to White Stripes was telling, as that’s precisely the kind of gritty sound I’d love to see them try), but it has to be said, they’re making some excellent, lean tracks which I’d think could be huge. Good luck to em!
