Speaking Volumes Podcast EP11

Alright?

Yeah, good. So shall we speak about Speaking Volumez Episode 11 briefly? Ok then. In this episode, like all the others, we've used our voices to project words out in an orderly fashion so as to slot into your ears in the most comfortable way possible (some ears will vary) and plugged the verbal leaks with some right old rockin' songs.

This week we've got a WHOLE NEW segment out of the cupboard, blown off the dust, and middled it on the mantle; it's called "Politics, yeah?" and is about the word "yeah".... PSYCH! It's about politics, and we have our outside political correspondent and good friend Dave Smith (man, charming, 20s) on the phone to really bloody nail this politics shit once and for all.

Amongst other chatterings we discuss what's been going on with this bloody ash cloud (topical!), guide you extensively through the World Cup, and hack our way through the dense thickets of the dream forest in a quite mental instalment of "Pillow Talk". To add to the bargain we've also scattered several brand new jingles over the top.

Speaking Volumes Podcast EP10

Erm.... HI.

It's been a while; almost 6 months of a while actually (that's half a year!). Regrettably, we got caught up in the lofty hedonism of the festive period of Christmas and birthdays and only recently regained enough composure to put a podcast together. Soz on that. There is some good news however - we're fully back now, and during the time we've been away, we've stumbled across some PHIT TUNES to play you.

Also, after impressing on his debut, Sam Eden (Sam-Box, Edofski, El Seed, The Garden) has become a fully fledged, full-time, permanent member of the Speaking Volumez Team upon completion of a rigorous hazing session conducted by Paul and Michael.

In episode ten we meander our way through various subjects with the precision of a dentist on crack; including Paul getting a thorough dream analysis, the futility of Neighbourhood watch and mental things we did when we were young.

As always, right click HERE and "Save Link As..." to download it, or get it on iTunes by clicking HERE.

Here's the track listing for episode 10:

Interview With Why?

So, Why? are a wicked awesome band, that's established. But would you like to see them interviewed by a middle aged man who wears clothes that are way too young for him? Of course you would.

P.S. Why?'s new album Eskimo Snow is out now and I recommend it, like, loads.

New Sufjan Stevens!

It's been way flippin' long since Sufjan Stevens breached public ears with new music, but alas, the wait is over. Recorded at a show in Ithaca, New York Sufjan debuted three new compositions, all, in my opinion, of hyper epic standard. Below you can watch the videos of Mr. Stevens performing them live, along with links to the downloadable MP3s of each song. Enjoy at your leisure.



Sufjan Stevens - "There's Too Much Love" (Live) MP3



Sufjan Stevens - "Age Of Adz" (Live) MP3



Sufjan Stevens - "Impossible Souls" (Live) MP3
