Good Morning All,
A nice early start at ML HQ so what better than a good cuppa and the listening post, even Mono Dog is listening in with me today π
A very strong set of songs again this week. Here are our faves, Beryl barked approval at all choices:
SWIM – Creeper
THE BLUEPRINTS – Walk
THE POCKET GODS – Searching for the divine
THIS IS ETHMO – Champ
FUZZY SABOTEUR – Alpinecore
Swim reminded me of Delphic, which is always a good thing. The Blueprints track was just alovely slice of guitar pop. The Pocket Gods took me straight back to 1991 and listening to The Telescopes. This is Ethmo – I’ve listened to everything on their Soundcloud page and it’s mind bending, brilliant stuff. Lastly, Fuzzy Saboteur – simply a stunning piece of music! I’m in love with it!
Have a great weekend all.
Thanks for the tunes.

Just One
WES MARTIN – THE MARK OF CAIN
I’m suprised that only one other person here ranked him in their top five so far. I think it stands out because it is lyrically powerful, beautifully arranged and performed in an understated way which brings 70s folk revival to mind but feeling very much a contemporary piece. Glad to find Wes Martin, thanks.
Cheers Bird Radio – welcome to our Fresh On The Net Listening Post, and thanks for showing your support for Wes – though we only count the votes from people who listen to everything and pick their Top Five. FWIW I liked Wes’s track too and would have included it on my BBC Introducing Mixtape if he’d only uploaded it to, erm, BBC Introducing. Tom R

My five faves this week, in alphabetical order:
LIPSTICK LUMBERJACK – Phantom Kin
OEDIPUS THE KING – Amicable
TALK IN COLOUR – Candles
THE BUZZARD ORCHESTRAL – Great, Britain
THE D-TALES – Truths & Squares or Circles & Dares
Also very much liked the tracks by PARK PLANET, WES MARTIN, EUAN LYNN, LUMIN BELLS and the wonderful brave poem by MAR KEL THE BADBELLY.
But blimey – how many times do we have to say this week after week? It’s there on our Send Us A Track page, it’s there on our Soundcloud dropbox: if you don’t upload your track to BBC Introducing we can’t include it on the BBC Introducing Mixtape. No upload = no airplay. Simple as that.
Yes FUZZY SABOTEUR, PARK PLANET, TALK IN COLOUR and WES MARTIN – alas this means you π
Great selection this weekend!
Quite a variety I enjoyed most this week! Was hard to narrow down, and order as well!
