Many thanks to all the musicians who contributed their songs and the bloggers who helped me to find them. If you know a musician that you would like to take part in a future edition of this theme get them to send an email to me at tim.young@rhul.ac.uk with ‘Musicians introduce their own songs’ as the message title.
Next week’s theme is ‘Songs with a political message’ and was suggested by Deek Deekster from Pod of Funk. To take part just send your short spoken introduction (no longer than 1 minute) and track to tim.young@rhul.ac.uk.

I love that the above comment uses the word “feckin.”
By nat on 09.27.06 1:13 pm
Indeed, “feck” brings to my mind fondest memories of Father Jack…
By FiL on 09.27.06 11:24 pm
That would be an ecumenical matter…

The artists were very creative in their introductions. It made for an interesting listen. I especially liked Mancino, Hong Kong Cinema, and Gabriela Kulka (no surprise there).

[…] Fil, from Vancouver BC on Pogo A Go-Go, wrote a great post today recommending the most recent Contrast Podcast featuring Saturna’s Pop Rocks. He describes the podcast saying, “How wonderful! Much more delish than jelly, ice cream, and cake, and waay more fun than pin-the-tail or pass-the-parcel. This is definitely a fantastic carnival of sound that you must must must visit!” He also links to mp3s of some great 80’s synthpop songs from Depeche Mode, Siouxsie & The Banshees, and Berlin. […]

I had to listen to this one several times ’cause it was aaall sooo goood… But if forced to pick the top five (in no particular order), it’d have to be Das Mobius, Naim Amor, Gabrielle Kulka, Goes Cube (you RAWK!!), and Saturna. But I really did love each & every one of you…
And of course I melted like tarmac in the Arizona sun upon hearing Marianne’s voice. I always do. Gros soupir…
By FiL on 10.02.06 4:23 pm
Spectacular!!! What a great bunch of musicians you’ve introduced us to here! More, more, MORE!
