Lots of connections to previous podcasts in this one. Hope I didn't lose any new listeners I might have. I think your only option is to listen from Episode #11 onwards... Go on you know you want to.

Interesting mix of styles in this show. We have some classic mainstream punk, some acoustic rock, some ambient indie and some more bizarre electronica. Throw everything at them, that's what I say!

Nearly a full video playlist for this one. I particularly recommend The Young Punx! video. Very odd and very cool.

The Haiku - Taking Control [No video for this track, but did I mention I was in the bands video for this track?]

Alkaline Trio - Private Eye here

Treehouse Burning - The Escape here (This is a homemade fan video made using footage from the Final Fantasy series of video games.)

CountrySide - Estuary Live Performance

The Young Punx! - You've Got To... (Norman Cook Mix) here (This is a different version from the video I posted for this track on Episode #15)

Daisy Daisy - Michelle Plays Ping Pong here

A few weeks ago on the show I mentioned that I was in a video for The Haiku. They're a lovely couple of guys and they will be appearing at the gig I am promoting in September.

They've now released the video onto YouTube so everyone can have a look at it. It's a really cool video for a really cool song. You can see the video here

I've also embedded the video onto my myspace profile. I'm the one with a big number 54 on my shirt.

Nice mix of tracks this week and a new intro in honour of the fact I'm now a member of AMP. Since I was going to have to add the AMP bumper I also redid the sample from The Sunshine Underground track I use as theme music.

We have some good old fashioned rock, some soulful singer-songwriters and some frankly quite barmy electronica this week. The last track has to be heard to be believed.

Only a few videos this week, but they're all very cool.

Harrisons - Dear Constable here 

Elizabeth - War Is Beautiful here

The Fuzz Machine - Love Her Madly  Nothing for this version, but here is a link to The Doors original version

Albert Aguilar - Movie Star [Nothing on YouTube, but there is a link on his myspace profile for a video to this track.]

It won't make a blind bit of difference to you, but I am now a fully paid up member of AMP, The Association of Music Podcasting. I now have a network of like minded individuals at my back and I get to host AMPed, their review podcast, in a couple of months. Pretty Sweet!

There is some exciting stuff in the pipeline for my Bath listeners. And I don't just mean the gigs. More news as it comes in.

On the subject of the gigs, it is starting to look questionable whether the August show will be going ahead as planned. Panic not my live music fans. The September gig is all locked up and will definitely be going ahead. I will be posting as soon as I get confirmation one way or the other, but if you really want the inside track on all the live music information then sign up to my mailing list using the box on the right.

Got sent a promo CD this week by Santa Dog. It's a great album and a review of it will soon be on the Noize Makes Enemies Webzine. Again, follow the link on the right.

After a slow week for videos last episode we've got a great selection this week. The Young Punx! video in particular is superb

Santa Dog - Big Bang here

The Answering Machine - Silent Hotels here

Mirno - The Light Of The Bar here

GK & The Renegades - Girls From Birkenhead here

The Young Punx! - You've Got To... here

And if you've got any questions, comments or tips for good indie music then e-mail me at ourobouros.podcast@googlemail.com

See you next week.

Busy week for me.

You may remember on Episode 11 I played a track by local band The Haiku and last weekend I went over to Trowbridge to appear in the video for the track I played 'The News Is: The World Sucks'. I'll put it up on my myspace page as soon as it's online. I also confirmed with them that they are playing at my gig on the 12th September at The Porter Butt here in Bath.

Speaking of the gigs I am planning, I've had a lot of confirmations from bands this week. Sign up to the mailing list to get all the latest info.

This weekend I went to two gigs. On Saturday I saw Los Campesinos! who I played on Episode 6, more details about that on the next podcast. Then on Sunday I went to the monthly 5 Unsigned acoustic night. I am going to be collaborating with Rich who runs the night to put out a podcast of the live performances from 5 Unsigned. It looks like it won't be starting this month, but expect a monthly bonus podcast from July.

Only one video this week, but it's a good one
