A Newcastle-based musician is hoping to kickstart his new music project through his latest fundraising campaign. Paul ‘Pablo Melons’ Fairbairn is hoping to raise £3,000 through his latest Kickstarter campaign to fund the mastering of his new Four Play EP on vinyl. Paul, 30, is a huge Power Pop fan and has been writing, recording and producing for several years under the banner of Toxic Melons. When he’s not composing Power Pop songs he teaches songwriting and produces bespoke music tracks for a diverse range of clients. Influenced by acts including Power Pop magnates Jellyfish, as well as Electric Light Orchestra, Queen, Beck, The Zombies, The Move, The Divine Comedy, Elton John and David Bowie, the Toxic Melons sound is complex, wry, heartfelt and expertly-delivered Power Pop at its finest.

Sunday 9th December 2012. Podcast #1. Martin Thompson chats with Alex Sommersett in this first instalment of Martin Thompson’s Friendly Atmosphere Newcastle Music Scene Podcast. Actually, the second instalment but the first was unbroadcastable! Bernaccia – Sobering Thoughts Bernaccia, formally The Out Of Towners, have made a warm crevice in our hearts as they were the first band Alex and I ever put on. On the Podcast I say we are playing this because Alex was drunk on our first ‘try out’ podcast. ‘Tis not true. I was the one who was drunk! It seems apt that we can start off with opposing views but the same band. You can find Bernaccia at http://www.facebook.com/bernacciamusic The Colt/The Colt 45s We love the music of Keith Colt. We thought we had lost him but this podcast brought us to the man – he has a band in operation & a Facebook page. From the electronic vibes of The Colt 45s to The Colt(s) – still not sure if we need to add the ‘s’ – he appears to do nothing by halves. Thumping, pumping, catchy tunes that WILL WAKE YOU UP!!! http://www.facebook.com/TheColtsnewBand http://soundcloud.com/the-colts-new-band Your Casket Or Mine – Drop Me like A Toy If Pabs is not already a local hero, then let’s find a space and erect an image of him for all to see. Such amazing song writing technique from a man who we definitely love, & we will love his music forever. http://www.yourcasketormine.co.uk Deltasound Deltasound are the race, the human race and catching up with any other race of rock, oh… you just tripped over… music is real in front of Deltasound. We edited the Deltasound interview down to 20 minutes – I think that’s how you’d like it. http://www.deltasound.gb.net Toxic Melons Is it Fredde Gredde or Freddie Greddie? I guess it does not matter. Paul from Toxic Melons is a piece of evidence that if you have no money, no budget and no job – you can still create something great and wonderful, thoughtful & musically apt. This is one of the few Facebook pages I will recommend. Very funny, honest & entertaining: http://www.facebook.com/TheeToxicMelons Captain Trips Captain Trips was formed by a group of friends in 2006 and has evolved to capture a strong local following at gigs around the North East, playing an eclectic mix of indie rock, punk and blues. Previously managed by Martin Thompson himself, it is only fitting that they feature in his first friendly podcast. Twitter: @Captaintripsuk Meiosis Well what can we say? Not much. So let's just recap what others have said: "Meiosis is actually Newcastle based Martin Thompson, a talented so-and-so who certainly knows his way around a wonky tune with added Scott Walker style flavours." "Martin Thompson has more than enough charisma to pull off the solo act – as amply demonstrated by the between-song chat which is every bit as enjoyable as the music. And as for the music… hints of Bowie, Scott Walker and Jarvis combine with Martin’s inimitable style to produce a sound that is simply unique – with the brilliant backing track providing an awesome backdrop to live music." http://www.musicbymeiosis.com http://www.meiosis.bandcamp.com Thank you for listening and looking.
