Stramash is an eclectic selection of music – anything and everything that avoids the regular playlist is fair game. In addition to showcasing new local talent there is a regular element to the show which aims to help serious and hobby songwriters develop.
So we're still alive! I'd better get wrapping those presents then. The last podcast of 2012 features: Duck in Tokyo (luisetti); Dare the Night (Quiet Arrows); The Pre-Geography of Snow (read by Maureen Harris, written by Lyn King); Roald Dahl (Dublin Duck Dispensary); Happy Holidays (Dublin Duck Dispensary); Yayoi Kusama video at Kodama Gallery, Osaka, Japan (Free Matter for the Blind); 20M friends (luisetti); Gift (Sunday) (Unfactory); the rain at night (read by Vic Burk, written by Tu Fu); Snow in the Basin (SunWalker); Component Parts (The Family Simpson); Thursday and Snow (Reprise) (Blank & Kytt); Rick Walker makes experimental sounds from dayglo orange plastic live looping techniques at metavinyl, santa cruz, CA (via salsburyp); London Snow (read by AHappyFlower written by Robert Bridges); Snow in the Basin II (SunWalker); Christmas Carols from 1902 (The Wall Family, via HendonTimes).
