This is supposed to be July? It looks horrible outside... and I got soaked on the bike today. Oh well, let's have a bit more of an eclectic mix of music tonight on the podcast. Coincidentally all the tracks are be female artists - but that suggest there was an element of planning rather than it being largely by chance. But the music is maybe a little bit different normal. That said - it's all brilliant. You have my promise on that!

1. Sleater-Kinney - Burn Don't Freeze
2. The Throwing Muses' - Lazy Eye
3. Au Revoir Simone - Through the Backyards
4. Go Away Birds - Quixotic
5. Wisdom Tooth and Tinyfolk - Low Tide
6. Entertainment For The Braindead - Relapse

Apologies. I'm shattered this week. So if I sound a bit more tired than usual this is why. I'm afraid this means a bit less chat than normal too. However - just as much music as ever. There's a track from the Dum Dum Girls album that was released back in March, another great track from the Slow Animal self-titled EP, and we end with a great live track from the Mountain Goats - courtesy of the Live Music Archive.

1. Dum Dum Girls - Bhang Bhang, I'm a Burnout
2. Allo Darlin' - The Polaroid Song
3. Slow Animal - Sanity
4. Eternal Summers - Dye
5. The Falling Floors - Honeybee
6. The Mountain Goats - Song For Dennis Brown

A new podcast! I was running a bit late so ended up recording it in my smelly cycling clothes. Sorry for that. Thankfully smells don't transfer along with podcasts. On the plus side, there's a diverse selection of music today. A great old track from London's Part Chimp kicks the show off. There's also some lo-fi music from Maxwell Panther, and the great new single by Tender Trap off their upcoming album.

1. Part Chimp - "New Cross"
2. Tender Trap - "Do You Want A Boyfriend?"
3. Maxwell Panther - "Don't Tell Linda"
4. Maps & Atlases - "Solid Ground"
5. Death and Vanilla - "Godspeed"
6. Danish Daycare - "A Purpose To My Sins"

30 more minutes of podsafe indie music. Made using different hardware and software, so I'm slightly more confused than normal.

Another 30 minutes of podsafe indie music. I seem to have a bit of a cold this time, and almost fall asleep in the middle. Still great music though - just a bit more chilled out!
