OLO RADIO - G37 - JIMTENDO - THIS IS SOFT ROCK - 30/1/08

Our next guest mix comes from JIMTENDO!
Movie Club

"I have been into soft rock since I found a scruffy, empty cassette of "Out of the Blue" by ELO in the back of my mother's Volvo 360 in about 1992. I didn't actually hear the album until 2003. If I had a dream it would be to live in the world featured on Supertramp's 'Breakfast in America'. Both covers feature planes and flying and I didn't do that until 2000, so I suppose softrock for me is all about escapism, possibilities and longing. The other album my mother kept in her car was The Very Best of Chris De Burgh..."

1) A review of our 1st proper gig (last November)

"Decked out in aprons and thick-rimmed glasses and making liberal use of art-school projections, Olo Worms appear to be just as much a visual as a musical concept".

2) A Dutch website's little write up on OLO Radio

> CLICK HERE TO ATTEMPT TO READ or read the rough translation below that an OLO mum did (thanks mum!)..

"In our unremitting journey to all things Deerhoof, we came by chance to a podcast of John Dieterich, the guitarist of the nuts lunatic company from San Francisco. Dieterich takes you on a fantastic trip, but OLO Radio contains yet more gold gems.

Dieterich begins its mix with Fiery Furnaces and closes finished with Danielson, familiar names from the indie-scene, but among those he entices us always more deeply within in its musical universe, along modest pianostukjes of Béla Bartók and Erik Satie, jazzy ballads of Nedelle and The Curtains, raw acoustic punk of Cheval the Fresh and luizige drum 'n basses of Good For Cows.

Dieterich is one of the 'special guests' on OLO Radio, a radio blog of OLO Worms, a bunch weirdo's as their homepage and MySpace-profile show, but good weirdo's with good taste. You may name yourself a connoisseur, but you may know only half of the artists on the playlists by name, but OLO Radio the trouble overlords are not concerned about that. There is music there to be discovered."

DRUNKEN WEREWOLF MAGAZINE (Bristol Special)

Below is the front cover i designed for this month's Drunken Werewolf magazine (Bristol special) with You & The Atom Bomb in space/underwater..it's not quite clear? Click on the image to enlarge for a closer look. It features a load of good Bristol bands and friends of ours like Safetyword, You & The Atom Bomb, Rachel Dadd and Countryside. Word is we (Worms) may be in the next one or the one after. I should have blogged this last week cos it's sold out now. Maybe it'll get re-printed someday?

OLO RADIO - G36 - MUNCH MUNCH - FRIED SWAN - 21/1/08

Our next guest mix comes from MUNCH MUNCH!
Myspace / Youtube

"A bunch of songs that rock me. As a band we can never agree on what music to listen to in the car, apart from bands like Deerhoof and Liars which we all seem to enjoy. But i guess at the moment i'm into music that has quite dense instrumentation and lots of singing, and also stuff thats quite melodramatic and tells a story. The song at the end is by Man Man. I think at the moment both this band and the Dirty Projectors manage to capture everything I love about music. For some reason i think i'm moving away from electronic music into stuff thats all hand played."
- Tom (Munch Munch)

NO TV TODAY (Verve)

I'm sat here now with a giddy-fizzy reward (JD & coke) on my day off having just finished doing my weekly chores with one of my all time favourite albums on.. 'A Northern Soul' by The Verve. I've been listening alot recently to this album, it really takes me back to being 16/17 driving around at night, driving (on my own..ahh) to the cinema and feeling sorry for myself..it's a very lonely album you see. I love it, it's perfect. I bumped into Nick McCabe at a Peter Kay stand up show about 4 years ago (very strange) and told him that, he whispered 'thank you'. However naff Dickie Ashcroft turned out to be later in his career, nothing can tarnish the quality of this record. I heard while making the album they were all addicted to lasagna, they ate it every day for months!? Here, enjoy visual highlights from the album..

* 'History'..



* 'Life's An Ocean'..



* 'On Your Own'

More great early Verve videos..

* 'Slide Away'
* 'Blue'
* 'All In The Mind'
* 'She's A Superstar'

PHONE FACE

WHAT AM I GONNA DO..HUGH?

A NIGHT OUT WITH THE KIDS

My housemate invited some of the cast of 'Skins' round for his birthday. A tip, do NOT paintball indoors! Watch that bottle!

NO TV TODAY (John McCririck Back On BB!)

My hero! I love him soo much!

* Return of the Mac! (John hijacks the house)..



* "Sideburns are IN, ties are OUT!!" (his fashion tips for Jay)..

I could watch him all day. By the way you must know i don't agree with any of his views, ha!..well you say that. Here's some more fairly recent McCririck TV clips (well the one's i've not blogged before)..

* BBC Northern Ireland show
* Being thrown off the Titchmarsh show
* BB Big Mouth
* Nuts TV
* Boxing "into the ribs!!"
