Bottom of the Pops is back with another 2 hours of new tunes and a couple of oldies that have earwormed me this past month.
Everybody is going a bit potty about Montreal's Angine de Poitrine. Micro-tonal rock is the new thing (or it isn't really) that said I like what they are doing and if you have any inkling of love for the likes of Beefheart, King Crimson, Zappa , the Fall etc etc you'll find that this duo will snuggle up to you like and old new duvet you never knew you had.
There's also new tunes from Baxter Dury, Massive Attack, Get Down Services, Appleblim, Gurry Wurry and others.
In terms of new releases, I'm a big fan of an outfit called Badtime and their tune Polezei, I'd also recommend Hedgeburners from Melbourne, Carsie Blanton, Soweto's BCUC and my absolute favorite is the very noisy Trance Bill from Cirebon a small city on the north coast of Java.
Enjoy the show

Powered by Audioscrobbler™Bristol-based Laurie ‘Appleblim’ Osborne has had a long history in the music biz. As a member of The Monsoon Bassoon, he even had a couple of NME "Singles of the Week" in the late '90s. But after a member left the band, the group soon disbanded and Osborne was left to start over again from square one.

Working in a record store and looking for inspiration anywhere he could find it, Osborne soon cottoned to the emerging sound of dubstep and, with Shackleton, began to craft strange tracks that seemed to reside at the edge of the genre. Brittle and metallic, they became celebrated alongside his Skull Disco labelmate's equally off-kilter efforts for their otherworldly characteristics.
