Rattlebag Radio Presents...Under The Electric Blanket by By Ian Thistlethwaite

On Monday night we put out a call to any DJs who might like us  to record a jingle for them. We were already recording a couple for Mitrakos Evangelos from La Cooperativa Radio in Greece (make sure you click on that link - we'll have more news re. this in future posts) so we thought we'd see if anyone else wanted one.

Suddenly, out of the twittersphere appeared a man by the name of Ian Thistlethwaite who asked for a jingle for one of his Rattlebag Radio podcasts.  Of course, we were very happy to oblige because we're nice like that.

The very next day, our jingle appeared in the 'Under The Electric Blanket' mixcloud podcast which is pasted below. Much as we'd like to claim that our jingle is the best thing on there, it isn't, as the mixcloud is full of some really interesting new electronic sounds and musicians, including a favourite of ours Cloud Waste and the Calf. 

There's a good few artists on here that we intend to check out further. It's well worth a listen...despite our jingle...

'So no stonefaced John Foxx action here'. Make Your Own Taste

HT: A big thank you to the 'Make Your Own Taste' blog for taking the time to listen to our album and to write a very nice review, which includes lots of lovely quotes that we can use to big ourselves up. I was chatting to the blog's writer and apparently listening to our album is like being in an episode of 'Ashes to Ashes' - needless to say, we took that as a huge compliment! As mentioned 'Make Your Own Taste' also gives good quote:

"..the sounds could not be more 1982 vintage, which is pretty cool, those cold, haughty synths and disdainful female vocals, with the robotik beats so beloved of clubbers of the era." 

You can read the full write up if you go here  https://makeyourowntaste.wordpress.com/2013/05/26/may-netaudio-revue/  Scroll down a bit for the T!TN write up. We also appreciated the fact that the blogger in question didn't mind stepping a little out of their comfort zone and into our wonky synth world; 'Make Your Own Taste' is an excellent music blog for lovers of ambient, drone, acoustic and experimental music, much of it very different to the T!TN sound, but no less appealing if you enjoy a wide range of genres as we know a lot of our blog readers do. So, off you pop - there's LOADS of new music on there that is well worthy of your ever hungry ears.

The British Are Coming....via the radio in Canada!

Today's bit of blogosphere thanks goes to Canadian DJ Matt Dalzell who broadcasts an indie music show featuring British bands, entitled aptly enough, 'The British Are Coming'.

The show airs on 103.7 FM CFBU in Niagara Ontario at at 10pm local time, which is quite late over here in the UK. Fortunately for us, Matt uploads the shows to his soundcloud page so that UK listeners can tune it at their leisure. This latest edition includes one of our tracks along with a great mix of unsigned and classic indie tunes from the likes of Primal Scream, Curxes and The Pigeon Detectives. See the full playlist below and listen via the soundcloud widget. If you enjoy this one, you can listen to Matt's previous shows which are also available on his soundcloud page.
