Back next week!  See you then… with bells on!

~JW

Kerpow!  This new EP from Zalinski is crammed full of thick, jam-based, guitar rock that (if you fancy a good rock n’ roll tune) you’re gonna really enjoy.  We’ve got the band on the show (in their car, actually) chatting to us about how they came together, the way they write, and where this new EP is taking them.  What’s it called?  Actions, Reactions, and Misunderstandings.  We obviously liked it so much we named the episode after it.

This week we were notified that The Justin Wayne Show has been nominated for a European Podcast Award which was EXCELLENT news!  Care to donate thirty seconds (not money!) of your time for the cause?  Head over and vote!

We have also got some more fresh sonic deliciousness from Black Bikini Alpha, The Powwows, and another new track from our boys at Junebug.

For the rest… the playlist.

Yes! I did it! I did a show without any of my cool flashing lights or buzzing… buzzers. (?) Anyway, I’m happy to get the show out, although we’re still on the playlist meltdown as I don’t have access to all the wonderful information contained on my Lappy’s hard disk. Hopefully the next show will again be done via the Lappy, but for now we’ll just stick with this HP PC machine of beauty…

Anyway, enough with the internet sarcasm. Here’s the show:

And yes, apologies to the live broadcast listeners of this show – or those who tried to listen – as there were problems down the line.  However, I can nearly guarantee that next week’s Episode 100 will go off without a hitch as it will be broadcast from Maple Street Studios as I sort out Savoy Studio’s internet broadcasting capabilities.

Track of the Week this week comes to us from the extremely talented band Brave Chandeliers.  They had just sent me their song “Madmen” and notified me that it was available for free download from their website BraveChandeliers.com and after hearing it it instantly became TOTW.  Great stuff guys.

As for the rest of the playlist…

The Justin Wayne Show Episode 99: Junebug’s Modern Day Fairy Tales

That’s it!  See you on Wednesday (or thereafter you podcast crazies) for Episode 100!!

~JW

Soap box.

We’ve got some special things happening on the show this week including tracks from the up and coming sessions with Steve Honest near Old Street.  We’re calling them “The Church with Steve Honest” and it should be great fun.  Watch this space (although I hate it when people say that) for more info on that one.

Track of the Week

This week the band Mostly bring us a track from their just released live album “The Red Room Sessions” which you can grab on their Bandcamp page!  It’s a good one, go grab yourself a digi-copy of the album.

And we’ve got some special gigs coming up, even one where you can see me strumming and singing… you’ll have to listen to the show (about 1 hour in is when we do the gig guide) for that special info.

For the rest of the show info…

The Justin Wayne Show Episode 89: Stop Being Important…

Have a great week.  Next week we’ll be doing some Twitter-powered giveaways with Titty Bingo, so make sure you’re following us on Twitter and following Titty Bingo on Twitter, too!  Peter Renzullo’s back again next week with the next Scudley Session!

~JW

Track of the Week this week goes to a great new submission from a contender for the 2011 Best Band Name Award: Titty Bingo.  We’re going to be hearing more from them in the coming weeks so I won’t spoil anything, but they’re FAB.  Do tune in for this and let us know what you think.

All of this (well, this week’s theme and show title, at least) was inspired by a Recharged Radio session by Robert Batley who played two long songs on this past week’s Friday Forum in his third live RR session.  You’ll hear one of his fantastic long tunes, “The Dance” on this week’s show.

We’ve also got Junebug with a great epic tune called “Place” that Dave Couch loved in his recent review of their album Share.  Pop over and have a read while you listen to the show!

Speaking of…

The Justin Wayne Show Episode 85: Epic Songs

See you next time with Portugal’s own Rodrigo de Sa from Cowboy Cantor co-hosting!

Album: Ulysses

Artist: Goh Nakamura

Release Date: August 2009

Goh Nakamura is a San Fransisco Bay area musician and while he may not have flowers in his hair or whatever else those hippies adorn themselves with there is something of a peace and love vibe about his music. Self-labeled “dreampop”, Ulysses is an album that should be reserved for a specific time, like champagne at New Years.

As soon as Goh Nakamura starts to play I immediately began to make comparisons; a modern day Simon and Garfunkel all wrapped in one and accompanied by an single acoustic guitar. Poetry mixed with an up-beat melodic tune that has a kind of 70’s/Elvis Costello nostalgia about it. It’s no James Joyce but there is a quality to the music that makes it stand out from the crowd.

At first I thought it would be a kind of background music that easily blend into your daily grind without too much intrusion and while I doubt it will make anyone’s party playlist, it’s an album that definitely deserves more than indifference. You could sit down and appreciate Ulysses like a fine wine or maybe a nice cheese.

Goh Nakamura has a timeless sound, you know the kind of music that doesn’t really get old, just waits in the background until your ready to listen to it again; like a time capsule of sound. But just because it doesn’t get old doesn’t mean they just rely on a middle of the road tactic that ‘if we don’t offend anyone than everyone will like you’ and while Ulysses could never be considered offensive; some of the songs break from tradition and mix it up with some alternative rhythms that give the album a bit more depth. Most notably tracks “Telemachus” and “Where Did They Go” these songs push the boat out and give the album a more three dimensional feel.

Goh Nakamura

A spectre that embodies the 60’s ethos of peace, love and good vibrations. It is all these things and something else, something no doubt that Goh Nakamura has added; his own special ingredient.

A harmony that deserves your attention, but with its unassuming nature it sits quietly in the record collection. Like a reserved blue collar worker secretly cuddling his automatic weapon while he sleeps… waiting for revenge… but enough about me. If you want to find the brilliance behind Goh Nakamura your going to have to sit down and be seduced – gently and pleasantly.

The Little Philistines

That’s right, LIVE.  Justin Wayne returned to the live streaming broadcast waves this past Wednesday and if you weren’t there, it’s not your fault.  I kinda kept it on the DL as I was unsure of how things would pan out having not done a live show in years.  But, not to worry, things went pretty darn well as you’ll hear on the show.

New music from the likes of The Little Philistines, Skinless Finger, Icarus the Owl (we discuss their new band name as they used to be “Kill Your Ex”) as well as some classic tracks from Goh Nakamura, Trevor Larkin and tons more.

AND… if you wanna listen and chat LIVE with us next week you can come straight back to http://thejustinwayneshow.com at 8pm GMT (11am Pacific, 12pm Mountain, 1pm Central, 2pm Eastern) and there will be a link that occurs only when we’re live.  It’s a big, red button.  Just push it.

You can also find this big, red button on http://rechargedradio.com which is the streaming station kind enough to play the show.  Cool, eh?

Keep a look out for more David Couch writings including his upcoming column, live reviews… he’s pretty much the bees knees.

Playlist time…

The Justin Wayne Show Episode 63 – Let’s Do it Live

Have a great week!

~JW

First: We’re moving out release date to Wednesday. Many of the AMP (the Association of Music Podcasting) members put their shows out on the weekend so we’ve moved to Wednesday.

Second: If you’re interested in checking out the podcast/radio show I started with my school, head to http://gladysaylward.enfield.sch.uk I obviously had other help and support, but I thought it was worth mentioning to get some of you over there as well. They’re great kids!

And third: Back to the interview desk this week with a fabulous musician, Zach Prather. Having played with the likes of Cash McCall and Willy Dixon, he’s putting out some of his own stuff now and it’s fantastic. Here are some links to find him online.
