The Rock Show #13 – Breaking Format Was Never This Much Fun
The Rock Show #12 (MP3 – 21.4 MB – 30min 22sec)
LISTEN HERE
Friday and the 13th TPN Rock show… for all the superstition I feel really lucky. Another six great tracks for you all this week, all of them have a little “hook” that have got them stuck in my head for a while. Which is impressive, because not only have they the addictive lines, but they are all great songs as well.
I read in the last few weeks that a lot of stations are now turning away from Teeny-Bopper Quasi-Rock and back to “Hits and Top 40″ stations. Well more fool them for swallowing the pre-packaged record executive’s idea of what everyone should listen to. Because good music is everywhere, you just need to know where to look…

Thank you so very much for presenting my song “Take It Off” on your #13 Rock Show pod-cast. I was deeply honored that you inquired to begin with concerning the broadcast, but was amazed and over whelmed with excitement when myself and several family members listened to the pod-cast (for the first time). Your on-air personality is extremely likeable and it is very evident that you have a vast knowledge of music in numerous aspects. You made me very happy and inspired encouragement amidst an onslaught of some rather negative reviews on garage band. Thank you again Ewan! For ever a fan of yours!

Nice one Ewan, my favourite Rock Show to date.
Maybe it’s a shame to pigeonhole bands, but for those who haven’t listened yet CYR are like Franz Ferdinand with a Seattle twist, the Supersonics gave me goosebumps, the Reverse Engineers have listened to too much early Rush (can one listen to *too* much?), Laurie Markvart is great, Broken Sunday are Evanesque (but better), and the last tango in Edinburgh topped it off nicely for me.
And Moulin Rouge not rocky? What about the cover of the T. Rex classic?

Band of the week: The Supersonics
So here’s part 1 of an irregular "band of the week" slot on Feet up. Funnily enough most of my choices will be pretty similar to the criteria for inclusion on Ewan’s TPN Rock podcast, the band have to fit one or more of the three U’s: U
