It’s a bumper – but rather rude – selection this month. We’ve got some ironically naughty beat poetry, filthy rap and aggressively rude metal, mixed in with the usual eclectic selection. There’s also more than a little hat-tip to the 90s – a decade whose comeback seems about as inevitable as death, taxes and the demise of the Liberal Democrats.

See you next month!

Apologies for the delay – we lost Mary north of the border and had to wait for her to be dried out and shipped back. This month’s podcast is worth the wait though, being packed full of tunes that we discovered in 2010 ranging from shouty thrash-pop to glorious glitchy electronica.

Next month we’ll be doing love songs – not the cheesy ones, but songs we fell in love with (or to!). If you’ve got a suggestion for a track leave it in the comments below or on the Podbean page, along with a little story about why and we’ll play the best suggestions in the February show.
