Ten Songs podcast: Walking On My Grave #1

This is the first show strip-mining the Ten Songs Podcast archive. Way back in 2009, in shows nine, ten and eleven, I did a series of podcasts focusing on Southampton hardcore/punk from 2000 to 2007 (with an over spill into what was then current bands). These shows are currently unavailable due to boring technical shit. Whilst I work on updating the archive on the blog, this podcast is those shows patched together so that you can listen to them all in one place. Crucial times, classic tunes.

Notes:

1. This podcast was put together on a notepad PC using Audacity, some MP3’s and a shitty headset internet microphone. Professional I am not. In addition to all this, the MP3 is a lower bit rate than most in order to keep it at a manageable size. So if there’s a song on here that you dig and want to buy the record it came off, don't be put off if it sounds kinda rough or scuzzy. I can guarantee it'll sound better in the original format. And if you can't understand me, all the info is on the blog here anyhow.

2. When I put these podcasts together originally, I obtained permission to play the tracks from the bands or labels involved. Hopefully, they’re ok from me bringing these shows back from the cold grave that is the information super highway. 

3. The surf tune in the background of some of the dialogue is the song “Harbour Rats” by Nightbirds, off their self titled EP on Grave Mistake Records and Dirtnap Records. Check it out, that 7 inch rules.

4. The sound effects are downloaded for free from www.freesound.org. Lockingfrontdoor by Mikaelfernstrom. Cue-scratch by raccoonanimator. Stairwellfootstepsheels03-96-24 by foleygoal. Unlocking-door by landub. All used in line with Creative Commons licensing.

5. I ramble a lot in this show, trying to put the songs and bands in context. I should say that these ramblings are my own and not reflective of anyone else involved in the show, who probably remember things differently to me (I was very drunk for most of the period covered, after all).

6. It goes without saying that if you like this podcast, let your friends know about it! Please? Thank you. And get in touch too if you dig it/hate it/have any tips. tensongspodcast [at] googlemail [dot] com or leave a comment.
