Podcasts about monkey swallows

In this video, singer-songwriter Nat Johnson talks to us about her approach to songwriting; from recording ideas using programmes like GarageBand to how just sitting in a different chair can influence her creative ideas. Nat has released two albums apiece with Sheffield bands Monkey Swallows the Universe and Nat Johnson and the Figureheads before releasing her first solo album in 2014. A veteran of the festival scene, Nat has also toured with Camera Obscurer, Richard Hawley and fellow #FLsong contributor Kate Jackson. An emotive acoustic musician, Nat has performed live sessions for BBC 6Music and Radio 4 and most recently orchestrated the Connie Converse event Roving Women.

My what a splendid festival.  You’ve read what I had to say about the thing (overview, day one, day two & day three), now here’s the ‘downloadable in one easy to digest chunk’ version, with more tunes. I had a splendid time at this, I really did.  The line-up was spectacularly good and, despite being not much more than a well-executed variant on the standard festival format, I would highly recommend it to those of you sick of the exercise in cattle-herding and aggressively intrusive marketing that the modern festival has become. Anyhow, I’ve gone through the festival in chronological order, playing songs from artists in the order in which I attended them over the weekend.  Hopefully I give you a decent overview of the festival itself as well as a taster of the quality of the lineup, from the indie legends to the connoisseur’s selection of emerging acts that made this such a quality bill.  No ranting in this one either, or at least, very little.  What a relief for you all.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is a quite splendid podcast.  Not the chat - there's actually blessed little of that for a change - but the actual music.  There may not be the one or two big names I tend to try and slip in to make sure that casual listeners are more likely to have a listen and thus bring an audience to the smaller bands, and also because I quite like to throw in a few for my own benefit as well but it just didn't quite happen.  For some reason they just didn't quite get a look in this week, although I did throw in a rather obscure Pogues track, but it just seemed fine without them. I really like this one though, and there are some excellent new things to hear, so get stuck in.  It has quite an acoustic folk-pop sort of atmosphere, so I hope that sort of thing is your bag, but I've thrown in a couple of slightly different things, like David Cronenberg's Wife, Mother & the Addicts and A Hawk & a Hacksaw to make sure it's not too one-paced.  So get stuck in, my little Toadlings, music a-plenty and jolly fine stuff too!

Andei ouvindo coisas novas nesses dias que fiquei sem gravar o podcast, e quero compartilhar com a galera. E também aproveitar pra me desculpar com quem ficou esperando o episódio sair, excesso de trampo e problemas com a placa de som do pc estão me atrasando. Mas estou trabalhando nisso pra resolver e voltar ao normal (ou inventar um novo esquema para o podcast que facilite minha vida, rs). Vamos ao que interessa: Monkey Swallows the Universe (http://www.mstu.co.uk/) 1 - Jimmy Down the Well 2 - Sheffield Shanty Um grupo bem bacana do Reino Unido. Descobri com o MySpace.com Hellsongs (http://www.hellsongs.com) 3 - Run to the hills 4 - I wann be somebody Esse pessoal do Hellsongs é bacana, pegam clássicos do heavy metal e gravam em versão acústica. Light e divertido, menos para os metaleiros mais xiitas. Já tocaram por aqui no Soda, no programa de Covers. Yude (o cara da foto): 5 - Portrait of a breast under PVC 6 - Breath (não lembro mesmo o nome certo, então vai esse) Meu amigo Humberto, com o pseudônimo Yude (antes já foi Shakti, entre outros nomes) andou tocando em londres e, numa sessão acústica em meu apê, gravei com ele essas músicas em fita k7 uns anos atrás. Tô tentando gravar um programa com o cara, mas só se vocês curtirem o som.
