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.

Mike Borgia, finally, gets his session on TPN Rock. Recorded last month, this singer songwriter has been a personal favourite of mine since I played ‘When The Bombs Come’ back on The Friday Rock Show #52, and is one of the songs that I use in my warm up routine (which if you listened to some of the live shows during April, you’d already realise). Anyway, three tracks, introduced by Mike, from his new album Philistines and Alcoholics.

• With No Regrets
• Time Is Gold
• Nerves

Another week, but we’re back on course to keep you smiling, with Rowley Cutler picking up the slack and banishing the Monday Blues away in the best way possible. As to you, dear listener, answer this question… Should I forgive Rowley for his “[Ewan's] a little shorter than I expected…” comment?

No, back to the programming you normal expect on a Friday, a little slice of Rock to kickstart your weekend. Back at home in Edinburgh, some kicking tunes, and a bucketload of rain outside. Oooh it’s good to be back!

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)

Gotta say, I have been so looking forward to getting this session out to you all. Urbansnake is a band that TPN Rock has followed for a long time, and when I received their new CD, White Knuckle, in the post, not only could I not wait to listen to it, but to let you all hear it as well. A big thanks to Vinny and the band for taking part in another TPN Rock Session!

A little treat for the Ne Year. While I was over at Podcamp Boston (late October 2007) there were a good number of podsafe musicians putting on shows, and I captured a few of them. And so, with his permission (which actually went “For God’s sake, circulate the live recordings! Don’t just play ‘em, tell the world!!!” So with that endorsement, here’s Matthew Ebel, live from the Bullfinch Yacht Club, Boston…
