OLO RADIO - MY FAVOURITES

So yeah.....we killed OLO Radio. It's gone but not forgotten. In this post i will list my favourite 10 Guest mixes and my favourite 10 mixes that i made. It's been a really tough decision, really it has! These aren't necessarily the best made mixes, or the ones that include my favourite music, they are my favourites for different reasons. Maybe it's the 'feel' of the mix, or the fact it's different sounding to the rest. Sorry friends if your mix isn't included. They are'nt in any order so ignore the order they are listed in. I won't bother writing anything about them, just have a listen!

'OLO TEAM 05 - UNDER THE INFLUENCE (Part 1)'

We were asked recently to DJ at a night called 'Under The Influence' where you are asked to play music (and in our case other things) that has influenced you and your music in some way. Click HERE to see photos from the night. Instead of posting a list of the things we played we have decided to make podcasts of all the tracks we played and some more extra ones..making up about 2% of all our influences..we havn't got the time to make another 50 or so mixes and we're guessing you don't have the time/patience either. It's been hard, but somehow we have managed to whittle down a good selection of our favourite and most influential bands, singers, artists, albums, films, directors, comedians, sportsmen, celebrities, etc into 3 different podcasts.

So this is number 1 in a series of 3 'Under The Influence' podcasts. Parts 2 & 3 coming soon!

‘Back From England'

'The Elastic Waste Band (Low Fat Cut)’

There will be just 500 copies of the record made. The only way to get one of these 7" singles is to come to one of our gigs in January next year when we enbark on our 'Toxic Waist Band Tour' (more on that below). A copy of the single will be given out to advance ticket holders FOR FREE while stocks last. You can only get a copy of this 7″ if you purchase your tickets through the newly-knitted Fence website HERE.

Yes, so as we've just mentioned, we are going on a little tour to support the new single. We are calling the the tour 'The Toxic Waist Band Tour'. We'll let Fence Records tell you about the tour (read this full post on the Fence website HERE & HERE)..

Fence:

"We’re donning our scarves, sewing the moth-holes in our long-johns, and embarking on a Fence Winter Tour! We’ve got a cracking line up for ya – with performances from The Three Craws, OLO Worms, FOUND, OnTheFly and more…

Towards the end of January there are very special Fence shows taking place in Edinburgh (22nd), Glasgow (23rd), London (25th), Bournemouth (26th), Bristol (29th) and Reading (30th).

This tour marks the release of OLO Worms debut 7″ single – ‘Back From England / The Elastic Waste Band (Low Fat Cut)’ – a copy of which will be given out to advance ticket holders FOR FREE while stocks last. You can only get a copy of this 7″ if you purchase your tickets through the Fence website.

The OLO’s will be headlining every night of the tour – except for the Edinburgh and London shows, which will be headlined by The 3 Craws (King Creosote, Pictish Trail and James Yorkston). Hailing from Bristol, the OLO boys make some of the most pleasurably bizarre pop sounds we’ve ever heard - trust us, you’ll love ‘em.

The Three Craws (King Creosote, The Pictish Trail and James Yorkston) will be headling two of the shows, in Edinburgh and London. After appearances at Aberdour Festival, and Green Man Festival earlier this year, these forthcoming shows mark The Three Craws first official headline shows – so don’t miss out!

Comprised of King Creosote, The Pictish Trail and James Yorkston, The 3 Craws are as close as Fife is going to get to it’s own süpergroup ... and it’s not even that close. Although, one of these croaking vulcans is a dead ringer for Josh Homme’s dad; another looks like Dave Grohl’s stylist; and one of them is the bastard child of John Paul Gaultier. Expect the widdling faff, and extortionate ticket price of seasoned pro’s ... and none of the timing.

OLO Worms will provide support for the Edinburgh and London shows – and will headline the rest of the tour, with a variety of Fence acts and special guests accompanying them."

Advance tickets for all shows will be available from – YOU GUESSED IT – www.fencerecords.com as of this Monday (7th of December). Here follow the dates…

Dreamt about a little old lady who was really slowly painting the white lines on a tiny football pitch. i offered to help and ended up doing the whole pitch, but doing it much much worse than her. Spent time in my old home town Hertford..sitting in cafe's, drinking tea, writing notes. JEWELLERY & DELIVERY. 'Loose Women' just aint what it used to be, watched 5 mins then had to stop. It's dangerous having mince pies in the house. I'm well chuffed with the words ive come up with for our song 'Disney'. i feel it could be the 1st track on the album. "do ya OWLS! DO YER OWLS!!". I'm wearing a ginger ponytail..my mum just clipped it on me and told me to wear it for a gig. Shattered!..longest toughest run yet..ran from Hertford > Ware & back (bout 5k), been told my Nike+ might be set wrong so im better than i thought! The Silver Columns website i designed gets called 'scrummy' by D.I.S. Watched CHRIS DE BURGH on BBC News, exciting!! NEWS ALERT! ...this just in...i can confirm - it IS SNOWING here in Buntingford! In the bath i combed all my leg hair to 1 side so my leg looked like a tree trunk..as i lied there i thought to myself...i must blog this. I can hear my Nan & Grandad talking about my T-shirts i designed. "its a worm Bryan!!". Found booze in loft, taking it to London with me! Listening to AC's 'Sung Tongs' with the snow swirling around outside my window..rather nice! Soooo tiiiired...at Pineaaple Cottage cos SOMEONE forgot about me. Just ate massive plate of leftover chips & a toffee apple bakewell. Ran round 'the downs'..saw a fox and a strange man in a car. Spoke to Radio man Huw Stephens...hmmm..... i went on a bit of a space trip. CHRISTMAS!!!! ...nightmare shopping here we go!! R Toys Us? Xmas shopping over thank u...toooo many crazy people in Bristol today...forced myself out for run no.19, only managed 5mins, my legs kill! Whaaa!!?? why the hell have Man City sacked Mark Hughes!!???? My dream last night was waaaay toooo strange for words. TV TV TTTVTVTV TV u gotta be on TV to count..(when your down)..i wanna SEESMILE! Dreamt about going back to work at the cinema and started kicking off at all the managers, then Beyonce calmed me down. *  ❄     * ❄      *       *      ❄ .     *  ❄    * .  ❄    ❄        *        ❄
Green paint?..check! green screen?...check! camera?...check! rucksacks?...check!! shorts?...who's got the shorts!!?? I'll be Steven Spielberg, you can be John Candy, you can be Steven Seagul, and you can be.......Dustin Hoffman. Video shoot done! All that's needs to be done now is, well all the background & erm, most of the foreground. Oh & to bring dinosaurs to life. Wow. RATM won it! im not bothered really, but quite funny how the ballad has been beaten..can we all try and get the E.T theme to no.1 next year please? I dreamt i was alive for my own funeral..it was a funny one, there were large paper monster sculptures & the mayor pronounced my name wrong..I was also in Waitrose having rolled a big black binbag full of stuff down a hill and into the store knocking over their stock...when i went to the till to pay for the ketchup and things i had knocked over i noticed Kevin Eldon was working there! Had some good cockney christmas banter with the fruit & veg men..i've got serious hat hair going on now. "Vinyl has arrived! looks great!" - Pictish. woooooo!!!..Just seen a photo of our record sleeve..looks well good! ahh want it here now. The old folks have got the Christmas songs on full blast downstairs while they put up more Christmas stuff. Running outside in the snow at night to sunny african music is MASSIVE FUN!! Watched Victoria Wood, recording Gremlins. The total spending for our new video came to £65. JH & MH are now on £1.75 an hour to animate and edit it. Listened to last ever SHH on 5 live..very sad. My big job of the day (that ive been ordered to do) > shoveling snow off our drive. its like in the mooooovies!! It's like we are preparing for a war in this house..masses & masses of food&drink in. Crocodileyears is home safe..i am no longer the favourite son, ha! This dubbed 'Pinocchio' film on bbc2 is sooo annoying. Its no tantrum or sulk..i got accused of THINKING about bossing Mark about..which i was'nt even thinking about!! wha!? I got told i cant enter our house til 1pm on christmas day!!?? what am i gonna do?? Planning the xmas TV and 'THE xmas club sandwich'..old folk are peeling spuds..we have 10 roast potatoes each! wooo! enjoying my 1st xmas drink, a little whiskey & coke. feeling very jolly, yes! i said JOLLY!!! listening to my 2nd fave album of the year..bloody brilliant! i think i might be drunk just after 1 small glass of whiskey and coke. bah. wrapping xmas presents drunk ist uber fun!

Comprised of King Creosote, The Pictish Trail and James Yorkston, The 3 Craws are as close as Fife is going to get to it’s own süpergroup ... and it’s not even that close. Although, one of these croaking vulcans is a dead ringer for Josh Homme’s dad; another looks like Dave Grohl’s stylist; and one of them is the bastard child of John Paul Gaultier. Expect the widdling faff, and extortionate ticket price of seasoned pro’s ... and none of the timing.

OLO Worms will provide support for the Edinburgh and London shows – and will headline the rest of the tour, with a variety of Fence acts and special guests accompanying them."

GREEN MAN FESTIVAL '09 - THE REPORT

I Had myself a wonderful time at this year's Green Man Festival as you may have seen from my photos (over 3 weeks ago now - why am i always soo late with these reports?). Probably the most perfect festival i've ever been to in terms of music, weather, friends, atmosphere, & fun. I had myself some testing times due to the things i did to my body but i just about got over them to carry on. The toilets were pretty damn good!

My musical highlights were..

Grizzly Bear

Gang Gang Dance

Animal Collective

Bon Iver

The Three Craws / Pictish Trail / Rozi Plain

The Aliens

Pivot

British Sea Power

The Phantom Band

Beach House

I missed quite a bit. Friends + sun + booze = fun & confusion.

Us OLO Worms were given free tickets in exchange for playing some music inbetween the Fence acts. DEAL! Although no one told us we'd actually be ON the stage! At the front of the stage! With a whole tent watching the 3 of us (SW had to pull out) awkwardly standing there watching The Three Craws set up their gear while queuing up the next track. It may not have looked it but we loved it!

Below are the tracks that made up our DJ set (maybe not in the right order)..

(BB's mini mix..
Clouddead - No.5 (1)
Flight Of The Navigator Theme
KLF - Dream Time In Lake Jackson
Kraftwerk - Uranium
Boards Of Canada - The Color Of The Fire
Aidan Moffat - International Valentine
James Holden - Lumpette)

Paul Simon - Me And Julio Down By The School Yard
Animal Collective - Who Could Win A Rabbit
Pavement - Cut Your Hair
Big Cherry - Come In Bonzo

(DF's mini mix - tracklist unknown)

Van Dyke Parks - Sweet Trinidad
T.Rex - Jewel
Ronnetes - Be My Baby
The Zombies - Friends Of Mine
The Kinks - Who'll Be The Next In Line
Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - Poodle Rockin'
Can - Spoon
Fever Ray - When I Grow Up (Remix)
Black Beauty Theme

Queen - I Want To Break Free
King Biscuit Time - I Walk The Earth
Ice Cube - It Was A Good Day

(the rest can't be recalled)

Due to it being a few weeks ago i won't write any more as i can't remember much stuff now.
