Sorry this week's episode is an outtakes show because I was out all all weekend. I'm finally home, chillaxing with pajamapants and going to put on Messenger 2: The Scarecrow on the TV.

The Pretenders - Brass in Pocket

I am hoping to put together a semi-regular Britpop Podcast show - please send me name suggestions. I'd like to have the word 'britpop' in the title, but not necessary.

The good news is that we actually have enough material to last for a few weeks (!!), so I don't actually have to do any real work as it's all recorded and processed (I just need to copy and paste it into a 10 minute show).

So, in order of appearance on the first outtakes: Ryan, Goodnight, States, Graeme K, Kate and Lara. Bonus: Devi.

Hopefully next week, we can bring on Raconteurs expert Christopher.

W♥M036: Graeme K

W♥M036   Graeme K-And Rattle Graeme K Read More Birds http://weheartmus... Birds, what is up with that? It seems lately that we're getting album artwork that features bird...

Subscribe to our show at gcast.com (RSS) or mypodcast (RSS). If you have an iPod or can see images on your MP3 device, I recommend gcast as it will properly display the custom cover artwork. The reason why mypodcast's files does not display the artwork is because mypodcast modify the file I upload. Apparently they have the amazing ability to insert advertisements anywhere in the podcast, but they are dumbfounded when it comes to displaying album artwork :/

The talented Mister Graeme K (myspace.com/graemekmusic), stopped by on W♥M Radio to talk about his delightful mixey mashey collage EP is called Hidden Beast. I previously only briefly mentioned Graeme K in my birds article, you should check it out if you haven't seen it.

Once back from his upcoming tour, he'll settled down to record a new record, and hopefully we'll have him back on in 2009.

In the meantime, we had a wonderful time talking about music and such:

• The mysterious "K"
• Where all the music Graeme samples from
• His equipment and software used to make his music
• Childhood in Maine, being on radio, performances
• Not being in "the (music) know"
• Next record heavily influenced by The Wedding Present
• Upcoming tour (see details below)

Check him out on the Winter tour:

Hidden Beast is out now at the usual locations digitally at iTunes/Amazon, but for a physical copy of the CD, it's print-on-demand via kunaki.com (which ironically is much cheaper at $6 per CD). Still not convinced? Well you can listen to the whole album in its entirety at Lala.
