ShadowPlay Oddcast
Tuesday Nov 04, 2008
Tuesday Nov 04, 2008
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.
