I survived another Edinburgh Fringe, but along the way at one of the world’s largest arts festivals, there was the occassional burst of music. So, after being filed away, it’s time for a musical taste of the Fringe - not always Rock, but always unmistakable, unknown and under-appreciated.

Normal service and power chords to resume next week!

Yes it;s that time of year again. The Eurovision Song Contest is upon on u on this side of the Atlantic, and it’s time for my celebration of the contest, the ethos, and the feeling by playing no music from the contest, no second songs from the artist, and no relation to the actual contest beyond the name.

But it’s still going to be a superbly silly TPN Rock show.

Also a big thank you to everyone who ‘tuned in’ to the recording of this show on the live audio stream. I did put it together at short notice, so there wasn’t a chance to post any details here, but it looks like it was a success, so keep your eyes open for details on how to listen from 1530 next Friday (UK summertime)

Into the New Year, and norovirus be damned, it’s time to rock with some heart pounding, adrenaline filled, virus killing power to be sacrificed on the altair of rock - or downloaded as an MP3 file so you can listen to it in the quiet reflective moments. Your call.

With it being #120, it’s time for a traditional decades show, where I look back at the feedback and reaction from the last shows (#111-#119) and bring back the best bands for another track.

Yes, yes, yes, last week should, by rights have been a Decades Show - looking back from Show 101 to 109 and asking the most popular artists to come back and give us another track. BUt never fear, because I have it here, and we can all pretend I held it back for the Eleventy-First Show.

Okay?

Silver Mountain, by The Deadstring Brothers (The Deadstring Brothers on Bloodshot Records)

Right after I finished recording this, my IM blinks with a listener going “This is a Best Of… day isn’t it?” Well yes, it should have been one of those, but I’ve went off the rocker this week and followed up on a question I asked on Facebook - what is your favourite unsigned rock track? And they’re all lined up tonight for your pleasure.

Yes it’s UGC TPN Rock. So for once you don’t have to blame me!

While I’m busy doing the Edinburgh Fringe Podcast, it’s now almost four weeks of intense interviewing - but as it draws to a close, there’s a certain Zen-like calmness descending over me. And that means TPN Rock tonight is more “music to kill yourself to” rather than “music that kills your ears.” So just chill out and relax…

Even though it’s a Monday…. Hey Harry Potter was out, I got preview tickets to see the new Transformers movie before UK general release, and I hadn’t got six cleared tracks. So I waited jsut a little bit, and I’m sure this is worth the wait.

And as mentioned in the show, find me on Last.FM (I’m EwanSpence, rather obviously)

Update: I’ve remembered what the chunky power chord song was that I was trying to name in the show. It was Let It All Fall, by T’Pau, from the Red album.

It’s Friday night, it’s time to forget about the last week, the wind, the rain (the breathalyser?) and head on out to the mosh pit. Actually, a bit less violent as I seem to be in a more earthy/grunge/prog mood tonight. Ah well, with the exclusive first podcast play of The Martian’s new singe, Our Home, I couldn’t be happier. Enjoy!

Beautiful Theory, by Fissure (Fissure on MySpace)
Way Too High, by Lady White Noise (Lady White Noise on GarageBand)
The Waiting Room, by First Waking Breath (First Waking Breath on MySpace)

And here we are, crossing over the arbitary mark that is one hundred shows. It’s not really a 100, with all the Rock Agains, the different Monday features, and the occasional Session (I hope you all liked Koopa’s session on Monday!) the number of TPN Rock shows are well over 220 shows, but then, time for a little bit of a party, like we need a excuse to let our hair down here!

So here’s the plan, call up my big list of MP3’s, take the top ten most played TPN Rock tracks on my machine, and run them all together to give a lovely look at what my psyche has picked over the months and years.

Enjoy!

Short and sweet here, with a packed schedule after Monaco there wasn’t enough time to gather the six for the show -so they’ll roll into Monday. For now, consider this a delicate sweet on a tiramasu sauce of rock…

Show Me How You Rock and Roll, by The Gentlemen (www.thegentlemenrock.com)
Yellow, by The Teeth (www.theteeth.net)
The Land, by Panalog (www.panalog-music.com)

Right then, that’s me back from Pirates of the Carribean - and the Rock n Roll lifestyle doesn’t stop there. Next week, TPN Rock is going to be coming to you from the shores of the Mediterranean, and the heart of Monaco. Oh it’s a tough life we podcasters lead… even with a rough throat - which means less me and more music for you tonight!

A big thank you top all of you who joined in with the live fun and tuned in to the TPN Rock Internet Broadcast last night. I certainly enjoyed it (and it’s mighty weird reading comments and feedback to each track while the track is still playing) and by the sounds of it, so did all of you!

A week of no travelling? Great.

Anyway, the big question tonight is if I was to put on a live recording of TPN Rock, over an internet stream, when would be the best time for you all to listen. Please give me the times in GMT (UK listeners, not current UK time, as we’re on summer time). I’ll take all your schedules on board and see if we can;t do a bit of live radio and podcasting at the same time in early May!

Oh I’m back with my old desk and microphone. I remember these from Feb! It’s a new laptop though, but all the software is in place (still not convinced that the soundcard is as good, but there you go).

So what’s in the mix this week? Well its a regular show - nothing special this time around, folks - not that the mix isn’t special. There’s a bundle of bands here from SXSW that I’ve had time to have a closer listen to, some long term podcast favourites starting to make it big, and a fond rememberance of hosts sadly departed.

Friday, 22nd March, 2005. The Rock Show Episode One. And now, two years later, here stands TPN Rock. More than 200 shows later, the unsigned, the unknown and the unforgettable gather three times a week for your enjoyment.

BUt what happens to the bands on TPN Rock? How good a guide is “The Rock Show on The Podcast Network?” So I thought I would go back to the very first show, pull out the MP3 files, and find out what happened to the bands that appeared on the very first show…
