Tuesday Mar 11, 2014
Barcelona-based record label head honcho and talented marketer Anders Knight is my latest guest on Desert Isolation Discs. He became the lynchpin in the arts and culture scene of Nottingham when based there through his excellent stewardship of craft night Jumpers for Goalposts as co-host of the Pretty Dandy Flea markets and enticing us to watch great films at the Broadway cinema.
His record label Hello Thor - co-founded with fellow friends of the blog Tom Whalley and Nick Lawford in 2008 - is host to a raft of exhilarating acts including Fists, We Show Up on Radar and Anxieteam. More info and guests at: http://desertisolationdiscs.blogspot.co.uk

Trailing the latest Broken Yolk night at the Pangea Project, Tom Bonnett and Alex Lawson look at combinations of man and machine, looking at how they can complement each other and work together in a creative crunch of vocal chords and circuit boards. The likes of Jamie Lidell, Scott Walker, Four Tet, Mount Kimbie, Schneider TM and Raymond Scott join Yolkie stars Ryat, Segment and Mataniu to explore the theme and provide a backdrop for cheeky chat and bootlegging banter. More info on the night at: http://brokenyolk.net/ February 20th - Ryat, Mataniu and Segment. Free before 9pm, £4 after, Broken Yolk DJs spinning ‘til late.

ShadowPlay Oddcast

The sporadic ShadowPlay podcast returns with a pun so bad your Grandad will swallow his teeth. This Oddcast (you were warned!) takes a look at the wide, weird world of music and stops off to chink triangular glasses with Roots Manuva, Listen with Sarah and Rachel Unthank along the way. Listen out for an interview with quirky folkster Micah P Hinson, be led carefully through the maze of online pap as we give out web tips and enjoy the strangest lawnmower chat since Charles had to tell queenie about that dreadful incident with a corgi on the palace lawns. Apologies for the slightly truncated edition, damn techincal limitations. Do get in touch with suggestions and comments on the post below or to shadowplayfanzine@hotmail.com.
