There's a bit of a Scottish flavour to the show (I must stop filtering the poteen through that old kilt), but more by accident than design. They've got to stop producing such good music north of Hadrian's wall.

SHOWNOTES:

• Eoghan Colgan
• Dropkick
• Caroline Lavelle

I talk nonsense as usual, but keep the whole thing shorter than it takes to find a new podcast on an IPod.

SHOWNOTES:

• The Joint Conspiracy
• Idle Vice Pirate
• The Pocket Gods
• The Bloody Irish Boys

Well, I get to "Talk to Frank" (a reference to a British drugs initiative), discuss piracy and swear without once breaking any laws or getting into trouble. Now why can't I manage that when I'm trying to be good?

SHOWNOTES:

• Robin Tymm
• David William
• Anemo
• Adam Boucher
• Simon Lawrence

Tom Waits - a legend! makes an appearance on the Podsafe Music Network, along with Marianne Faithfull, who has abandoned her motorcycle; though as I recall, in the seminal movie, Girl on a motorcycle, she crashes whilst "indulging in sexual reverie" - so thinking about sex doesn't make you blind then?

SHOWNOTES:

• Robin Tymm
• Vanton
• Rhys Downing
• Salt Lick Kitty
• The Random

Bad Religion were the inspiration for many New Wave Punk Bands. It's nice to be able to legally play American Jesus on the Naked Podshow.

So here's wishing you all a Merry Christmas or a Happy Holiday!

• The LoveGods
Deah & Company's recent album, "Audience of One" gets reviewed. I play a track as well as a couple of clips. If you only buy one album this Christmas then this could be the one (though I can also think of several others I also want to buy, such as Myles Cochran's Marginal Streets album, so I'm not limiting myself to just one).
• Paisley Riot
Devil Only Knows is the title track from Wolverhampton Band, Paisley Riot's EP. You can download all three tracks of the EP from their website.
• Sara Wendt
Here's Us is the title track from Sara's recent EP.
• Dave Keifer
Dave Keifer brought The Shnay Speaks to my attention. It's part of an electronic music project called Cagey House.
• COMEG
Comeg contacted me a while ago and I've been intending to feature them since then. Their recent, Alcohol Fuelled album is already an addition to my mp3 player's hard drive.

• Myles Cochran
• Listen to lots more of Myles' album, Marginal Street
• Revere
• Cheryl B. Engelhardt
• Leah Siegel

OK, so The Motorcycle Song wasn't so laid back in the middle section. Whaddya want? Celine Dion? You've got to love a song called The Motorcycle Song. By the way, the show was mercifully slightly shorter than usual as my vocal chords threatened to strike at that point.

SHOWNOTES:

• Planet of Women
• Imagine The Darkness, if women had got there first (what do you mean, "you already thought they had?"), then add about 900 brake horse power and you've got Planet of Women (they look better than The Darkness, too)
• SundaysAway
An intriguing concept - writing, recording and podcasting one song a week for a year, then pulling the best together into an album. Keep your ears on this one!
• Pauline Taylor
• Pauline Taylor has got me really excited (I know Podcasting can be a lonely pastime, but I'm talking about the music. honestly!). Her new album is a must for the collection.

SHOWNOTES:

• The Babylon Cowboys

This week was the 1st anniversary of the death of Iconic British Radio DJ, John Peel. He was a British institution and is sorely missed, as much for his sense of humour as the music he so avidly promoted.

No website yet for Imprint (not to be confused with any other bands that might also be called Imprint), but I'm sure these young guys will get around to it. Imprint are: Jamo Ware-vocals, Johnny Lover-guitar, Tommy Migraine- guitar and Spencer Reinke-drums. "We are still quite young. We hate all governments especially George Bush, most celebrities, TV adverts, Popstars, The rock royalty, Metal bands, People too big for their boots, the weather (its pxxxxng it down right now) and many more! So listen to us Great Britain, we're really wonderful people when you get to know us."

There's a longer review of the 2nd of my five favourite movies (but don't forget that they are being presented in no particular order) and an interview with a famous political figure. I also play some extracts from a recent Adam Curry, Daily Source Code, in which he denies himself an advertising income and attempts to undo some Jedi mind linking.

• James Apollo
This is Tumbleweed Roots Rock 'n Roll. You can hear the boxcars and taste the liquor. Wipe the dust from your guitar and enjoy! That's James Apollo in the photo, by the way.

SHOWNOTES:

• Caplyn
• Sly Stallone gets a beating and The West Wing season 6 eventually arrives on UK TV on channel 4more. Ah well! Better late than never, I suppose.
• The PocketGods
• Huddersfield Town (That's soccer people!) gets a mention as do Trucker Tom and a psycho-analyst in Hawaii. Tom and the Psychiatrist appear in the new "Promo "Spotting" spot
• Allison Crowe
Fantastic! A Canadian Diva who doesn't sound, or look, like Celine Dion! Catch her cover version of Leonard Cohen's, Hallelujah! It couldn't sound more different to John Cale's version. I try to convince more artists and bands to contact me - lots of you already are - I love getting emails! Plug, Plug! I've started a short new series playing sound clips from my 5 favourite movies. I'll be playing one sequence per show then I'll announce the winning order when I play the last. I bet you can't wait to hear them all. Come on show some enthusiasm!
• ANEMO
• I got all excited listening to ANEMO and that doesn't happen all that often. They must have added something to my water. They also must be putting something in the Brighton water for such a small town to produce so many great bands.

SHOWNOTES:

• The Bloody Irish Boys
The best traditional Irish/punk/bluegrass fusion in the business.
The intro to the show has changed. I've also replaced my sound gear. Oscar is currently unchanged, but is in danger of being replaced by a new model if he doesn't begin to participate more enthusiastically in the show.

• Stilltide
I dive in on the subject of copyright theft and P2P & and present an alternative model to the traditional recording industry approach to getting "signed up."

• Red Eye Banquet
• Tom Robinson
You can also catch Tom Robinson's show on BBC Radio 6 every Monday - Thursday from 7.00-9.30pm

• Rob Costlow
I didn't know how to end the show after getting some of the details surrounding Saturday's earthquake, so I leave it to Rob Costlow...

SHOWNOTES:

• Dave Green aka EKHO
• I grouch because I manage to miss out on an opportunity. With my luck I'm bound to throw away the winning lottery ticket one day.
• Broken Jack
• I play some promos and review Beauty Dish Radio
• Curtis Loew
• Every now and again you happen across a track you really like, but Murphy's Law dictates that you won't be able to find out anything about it. I will - eventually.
• No Use for a Name
• No Use for a Name are the only US entry in this week's show, but I forgive them all the same, particularly as they play soccer, which is as good as having a visa, or it should be.

SHOWNOTES:

• The cat Oscar turns up and I compose an intro promo for The Lovegods special by stealing a tale from their website
• 14 hours
• Broken Tongue
• "Serenity" A review of the soon to be released Joss Whedon movie
• Brother's Love
• Sadie Mercedes
