Finally! Apologies all – getting this show podcast has been a task akin to the Homer’s Odyssey, leading me to wonder if the spirits somewhere detected that this show May Contain Dubstep.

Yes, dubstep.

Alarmingly it was Tom’s turn this week to break out his inner Grumpy Old Man, with an inspired rant about the new Fourtet Joy Orbison remix which bears striking similarities to the broken beat scene led by Victor Duplaix among others. With a gentle track from Laura Veirs and a nod to the ‘Ardkore days with Lennie De Ice it amounts to the usual smorgasbord of wide focus music selection. You love it. Go get some.

Tracklisting:
J:Kenzo “Conqueror”
Coventry Automatics “Look But Don’t Touch”
Fourtet “Love cry (Joy Orbison Remix)”
Nepa “You Know What You’re Supposed To Do”
Victor Duplaix “Manhood”
Laura Veirs “Where Are You Driving?”
Lennie De Ice “We Are I.E.”
Lorez Alexandria “Baltimore Oriole”
Emika “Drop The Other (Scuba RMX)”

Soundbed this week was a more obscure release on Domino: side A of Cinema Recorded Music Library’s “P Beretta”…

Featured video this week is not so much a video but a reference point. In the show I (Trick) mention Oxford ‘Ardkore as a fine example of the homespun rave tracks that briefly flooded indie dance stores of note all around the Orbital. Well, some kind soul has posted it onto YouTube, thereby saving me the trouble… Enjoy!

It has come to our attention of late that our show’s live slot (Wednesdays, 10pm if you didn’t realise yet) mean that we compete with the TV vampire soft porn of True Blood. So, to combat this, Tom steps up this week with a variety soft porn-related selections covering anything from Emmanuelle’s more interesting moments (well, the soundtrack anyway) to the squeaky-bed conga-fest that is “Erotica: The Rhythms Of Love”.

Oh and Trick plays some music too… of no bearing to porn whatsoever. Hence the rather brutal opening from the Big Game Hunter himself, Mr Dibbs, newies from Lou Rhodes, The Irrepressibles and Beach House and the fine raw rock of Grifters – a band Jack White was clearly listening to back in the early nineties…

Go!

Tracklisting:

Mr Dibbs “Live at 1st Ave”
Pablo & Fay “Bedroom Mazurka”
Grifters “Skin Man Palace”
Pierre Bachelet & Herve Roy “Emmanuelle Theme (Up-tempo Instrumental)”
Pierre Bachelet & Herve Roy “Opium Den” (excerpt)
Pierre Bachelet & Herve Roy “Rape Sequence” (excerpt)
The Irrepressibles “In Your Eyes”
Funkineven ft Fatima “Kleer”
Beach House “Used To Be”
Lou Rhodes “There For The Taking”
soundbites from “Erotica: The Rhythms Of Love”
Prince & The Revolution “Lady Cab Driver”

Despite the urge to post some soft porn to accompany the main theme of this week’s show, we plumped instead for this mighty dub version of Bedroom Mazurka – as sublime as dub ever gets…

The plan was to battle the soft porn of True Blood which we’re currently in a clinch with over the 10pm time slot, subtlety and a soft touch weren’t on the agenda, so now to make amends I’ve chosen the Crème de la Crème of what Dan The Automator charmingly described as “music to make love to your old lady by”.

If you’re familiar with the format already, you’ll know we wont be rolling out the usual festive favourites but we can assure a cavalcade of curious Christmas records which in the past have covered anything from sleigh bell drenched Hawaiian hits to William Burroughs growling about heroine abuse on a cold winter night.

The short version of the story goes – Mafia boss calls up director to make speciality porn film, mafia boss wants nothing more to do with the project, director seizes opportunity to make what he wants assuming no one funding the film would watch it and sets about making the sex industry’s answer to Taxi Driver.
