Some new singles on this show as we continue to wade through the new submissions and prepare for new subs shows and some big interviews coming up.  This half of the show features a deeper cut from Isaac’s Aircraft‘s Two is a Crowd record, one of my favourite cuts from the band Mr Twist, and one artist we haven’t played in a while, Hamlet Sweeney.

Hamlet Sweeney

Did you miss the first half of the show?  Go now!

Packed show tonight full of new submissions, great songs you’ve already heard, and a very informative interview.  Janet Hansen from Brio PR and Scout66.com joins us in the second hour to talk about the music industry and give us her knowledge after working with independent artists for nearly 27 years.

Kakuzi dropped a bomb on us this week – a brand new single which is being released on the 27th of December from Animal Farm Records.  It’s called “Words and Wars” and it’s our Track of the Week!

Getting used to the split shows yet?  We’ve had @SpursSimon from the blog Rumbles and Grumbles saying nice things, as well as Rowley from The Dark Compass Podcast.  Thanks for the encouragement guys!

The second annual Birthday Best Awards have arrived again, meaning that The Justin Wayne Show is now two-years old!  Wow… we’re gonna be gnawing on the sides of coffee tables and opening doors we shouldn’t soon!

As far as those doors we should open, we ran down the top 25 songs of the year voted on by four of us here at JW towers and many of you – over 350 of you!  Thanks for doing that, we appeciate it.  The feedback form is still up, but on a different page – http://thejustinwayneshow.com/feedback if you fancy giving us your opinion.  We’re going to be making some changes here in our third year, let us know what you’d like to see happen!

I must give a big thanks to a few people, as I tend to do this time of year, for making this all possible.  First, Jason for his writing and encouragement, Ryan Flynn for the theme song, and Jamie for her unconditional love and support.   David Couch for coming on and writing for us (he even came down and helped me do this show!)

David and Justin

Also thanks to Jordan, Dave, Alex and Minki at Recharged Radio and Jarrod on Tourdates for their big boost into the live radio world again this year.  And, I can’t forget to thank our new cat (and JW Show mascot) Puck!  Thanks for not chewing through the power cord!  It’s been an amazing year.  I’m excited to dig into year three with so many great allies!

Klondike Bill demonstrating the raw power of the Klondike Beard

The bell rings in the Recharged Radio-wide battle to bring back the beard!  We discuss beards with the live chatroom while bringing you some great new stuff on the show including a new exclusive track from Field.

We’ve also got shiny new tracks from Lights Out Dancing from their new album, Ever the Optimist.  We’ve even got a few of the boys along for a quick chat talking about their upcoming tours to promote this great new effort.

And yes, Jordan and I begin our cross-show battle to see who’s cooler – the presenter with the beard (me) or the presenter with the babyface, all clean shaven and shiny (him).  Pop over to the Recharged Radio Friday Forum and tell him what you think!

Then, come back and tell us how it went – possibly next week live in the chatroom, Wednesday at 8pm GMT?

The Justin Wayne Show Episode 64: What Would You Do with a Klondike Beard?

Have  a great week!  Come back next week and catch us live!  (Or, just keep on downloading the podcast – that’s cool too!)

Cheers,

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…

Have a great week!
