Boyyyyy I'm swamped with work and Production stuff. I'm writing this entry a whole 2 weeks after I actually did the show! Sorry folks! You know how it is though huh? I'm really enjoying this year at Uni which is a MASSIVE SURPRISE as I was really dreading coming back from Berlin. I'm much more active and positive towards everything. I'm really psyched about my Dissertation which I never thought I'd be saying, and the Production stuff is really interesting too- so grateful I got the position.
Anyway, as this is a blog about music and my show, lets get back to that! In fact, lets get straight to it. Track listings:
Everything Everything - Photoshop Handsome
Dutch Uncles- OCDUC
Hurts- Evelyn
Egyptian Hip Hop- Moon Crooner
Portishead- Dummy
PJ Harvey and Thom Yorke- This Mess We're In
Massive Attack ft. Tunde Adebimpe (singer from TV on the Radio) Pray For Rain
Maps- To The Sky
Totally Enornomous Extinict Dinosaurs - Garden (the female vocals on this are beautiful - watch the video below- well impressive)
Jonquil- Pillow Quest (the guys that live in the same house as Foals)
The Field - A Paw in my Face (yeah, as I mentioned on my show they're actually from Sweden but I missed them on my Sweden show which is totally not cool so made sure I played them when I realised. Great band!)
I chose these three cities because I'm really liking the new music that's coming out of them. They're obviously big influences for music with great cult music coming out of them in the 80s and 90s: Radiohead, Massive Attack, Portishead which I paid homage to on my show, but its also interesting to see what the city folks are up to these days.
Had a lot of fun on my show, a lot of people emailed in which was great. I always appreciate that as it just changes the whole experience and makes it easier/more fun for me.
Venues: Check out The Zodiac in Oxford as well as musicinoxford.co.uk

Really enjoyed the show, was good to play these new bands and hope they get the recognition they deserve! I'm rooting for Jonquil- they make me smile.
