Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Kaatwalk Kaatwalk is a Twin Cities-based singer-songwriter whose music is rooted in quiet honesty, emotional presence, and the kind of storytelling that turns everyday moments into something deeply human. Inspired by artists such as Brandi Carlile, Phoebe Bridgers, and Joni Mitchell, she writes with a reflective voice that values truth over polish and connection over perfection. Her sound moves easily across folk, Americana, indie, and singer-songwriter traditions without being boxed into one genre. At the center of it all is the song: intimate lyrics, stripped-down arrangements, and performances that feel personal, lived-in, and real. Kaatwalk draws from shared experiences, small details, emotional undercurrents, and the moments people often carry quietly. Her music gives those feelings room to breathe. http://www.makingascene.org

The King of the North says he will remain - for some of the time - in his kingdom, but how will Andy Burnham's vision for a devolution circuit breaker - powered by a new Number 10 in Manchester - really work? Former de facto deputy prime minister David Lidington joins the podcast to discuss the would-be PM's big speech. How would No.10 North work alongside the original? Who calls the shots? Who is in charge? And what does it mean for the balance of power across the centre of government? Plus: Keir Starmer's parting gift/parting shot. What is in the Defence Investment Plan and how much will it cost? Alex Thomas presents. With Hannah Keenan and Tom Pope. Produced by Milo Hynes. Learn more about your ad choices.

Neil Howson in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://preciousrecordingsoflondon.bandcamp.com/album/prelp-8-age-of-chance-bbc-sessions-85-87 A stunning mix of Northern Soul, machine-like beats, electroclash, slogans and agitpop, Age of Chance were unquestionably one of the most exciting groups to emerge during the C86 era. They certainly didn't sound like anybody else, that's for sure. An uncompromising live act, Age of Chance were frantic and frenetic – and they even dallied with the mainstream via their version of Prince's Kiss. Janglepop this is not. Now, not before time, their three sessions for BBC Radio 1 are collected by Precious Recordings of London as part of the label's ongoing series. And for good measure, we've included both sides of their first two incredible ground-breaking singles – Motorcity and Bible Of The Beats, both unavailable in any form for decades. Limited edition (500 copies worldwide) comes with unseen pics, sleeve essay by close associate John F Power. and download codes. Includes unlimited streaming of PRELP 8: Age of Chance BBC sessions 85-87 via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

The conversation arrives at a remarkable moment in Kat's life, as she reflects on releasing a deeply personal record just weeks after welcoming her daughter Ada June into the world.

Twenty years ago I got an iPod. The rest as they say is history. Having published a mod fanzine in So Cal in the 80s, and then a website in the 90s devoted to mod style and cocktail culture, I was predisposed to be intrigued by this new fangled publishing medium called a podcast. I dove in head first on May 26, 2006 with the very first episode of It's A Mod Mod World, which quickly got rebranded to Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World. Now here we are 20 years and 600 shows later. I'm joined by some old mates from the Positive Steps scooter club to talk scooters, concerts and music both old and new.

https://ontargetpodcast.caThis week on On Target, Mod Marty builds a set that feels like neon reflecting off wet pavement—cool, restless, and impossible to ignore. The records snap together with just enough tension to keep the whole thing humming. Soul rubs shoulders with rough-cut R&B and flashes of mod swagger, all moving with quiet confidence.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Robert Arkins, best known to millions as Jimmy Rabbitte in Alan Parker's classic 1991 film The Commitments. Robert looks back on life before the film, his musical roots, fronting his own band Housebroken, and how his sister first introduced him to Roddy Doyle's book. He reflects on why he initially saw The Commitments as a possible distraction from his music, before becoming the face and voice of one of the most beloved music films ever made. In this warm and honest conversation, Robert talks about working with Alan Parker, finding Jimmy Rabbitte's natural Dublin rhythm, the humour and energy that still make the film resonate, and the moment he realised The Commitments had become much bigger than just a film. He also shares brilliant behind-the-scenes stories from the shoot, including Van Morrison auditioning for Joey "The Lips," memories of the famous bath scene, Johnny Murphy's motorbike mishap, and what fans still say to him more than three decades later. The conversation also goes deeper into what happened after The Commitments — the pressure of sudden fame, travelling to Los Angeles, signing to MCA, working on an unfinished Housebroken album, and the frustration of being recognised as Jimmy Rabbitte when he wanted to be seen as an artist in his own right. Now, Robert is returning to the music with Robert Arkins' Commitments, marking the 35th anniversary of The Commitments with UK and Ireland shows. He talks about bringing those songs back to the stage, adding Detroit and Northern Soul into the live set, and why the audience energy still reminds him of watching the film with a crowd. At its heart, this episode is about music, identity, second chances, and what happens when one role follows you for the rest of your life. Listen to the full episode now.

Is there a new mod renaissance upon us? That is the question I've been asking myself since last year. Sitting in Seattle casting my jaundiced eye on the scene from afar I ask you: is London swinging again? Over the years claims of new mod revivals have been made, and almost never supported, especially in the 21st century. I dive deep into the subject, here's my research and my opinion. Agree or disagree? Let me know. Either way I think you'll enjoy the show.

https://ontargetpodcast.caThis week on On Target, Mod Marty walks a fine line where Rock & Roll and R&B collide and blur. The set leans into that tension—gritty guitars brushing up against driving rhythms and raw vocals. It's restless, a little dangerous, and full of attitude from start to finish.

Ben Rice is at the heart of the Brooklyn music scene, making records at his studio, Degraw Sound in Gowanus, since 2012. He's since worked with legends like Valerie June, The National, Joan Osborne, The Candles, and Northern Soul greats The Flirtations, earning him an Americana Producer of the Year nom along the way.What I love about Ben is that nothing about him is in a rush. This is a very chill podcast episode. I literally felt me blood pressure fall as we recorded this. That's part of the magic here!He was mentored by Eddie Kramer. He runs his sessions through a Trident console that used to belong to James Iha. He's been part of the indie rock revival, and he's working every day on new music, quietly making some of the best-sounding records in the city.We talk about the long arc from basement sessions to a room of his own, what it actually takes to build a studio that lasts, and why "calm and thorough" is underrated as a production philosophy.For 30% off your first year of DistroKid to share your music with the world click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DistroKid.com/vip/lovemusicmore⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

From the vaults! Another long lost, but not forgotten, modcast of a bygone era. Enjoy. Welcome to Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World, modcast #131 if you can believe it. I don't know about you, but I've got the blues. The legendary queen of the blues Koko Taylor died a little more than a week ago, and that sparked me to dig out and revisit some my old blues, esepcially the British blues of the sixties, the early R&B. London's blues scene in the late 50s and early sixties spawned a number of bands and musicians that went on to great fame, many with very mod sounds - Rolling Stones, Georgie Fame, Them, the Animals, the Yardbirds and so on . And No doubt Ms. Koko Taylor was an inspiration to sixties mods who were blending the blues with rock, and jazz with soul, and creating radically new sorts of sounds. So, now it's time to get some mod blues. Remember, you can get all things mod over at the modcast homepage at www.mistersuave.com.
