Part one of the catch-up here, this was recorded on Wednesday 24th May but uploaded Sunday 27th May. In this episode I'm very aware of the fact that I've done this podcast for 60 days (roughly), and in 60 day's time (roughly) I'm turning 29. So with that I'm considering this as something of a halfway point, which feels like a perfect time to look back on what has been achieved, what I have yet to do, and how I can continue to avoid having any more "nothing days". Basically it's me going on a 30 minute rant. And where better to record an episode like that than at the kitchen sink. And then I play some very amateur piano. Thanks for listening.

Today's episode was recorded at someone else's open mic night for once! It was held at The Steam Passage in Angel, and it was hosted by one of my guests on this episode: Frosty. I only found out about this night by talking to one of the acts from the last episode - Across The Sea - and in particular the person partly responsible for bringing them to London: Ivan Roberts. These two folks tell us about how they came to be part of the London music scene in their own way, and - more importantly - why. You can find out more about them at the following: Ivan -- https://www.facebook.com/groups/rifftaffgroup -- Frosty -- https://en-gb.facebook.com/sptopenmic/ --  Thanks for listening.

Today's episode is coming from The Plough in Holborn. I finally got back to talking to people that perform at the open mics, and this time it was mostly new faces. You will hear me talking to:Chris Afrix: https://soundcloud.com/chrisafrixSully Gravity: https://soundcloud.com/sullygravityAnton Charr: https://antonchirovsky.bandcamp.com/James: https://theponycollaboration.bandcamp.com/Hannah Lewis and Pete Ferguson: https://acrosstheseauk.bandcamp.com/My arm is still aching slightly from drumming along with Across The Sea on the cajon, and yet I kinda want to do it again.

Today's episode was recorded at Allsop Arms after the open mic that I hosted. I was about to admit defeat in my attempt to record people for my podcast, until one Chris Gabriel approached me asking about it. So it's thanks to him that this episode happened, hence the title.

Today's episode is a trip down memory lane as I speak to two folks that have seen their fair share of London's live music scene since the late 90's and early 2000's. Recorded at White Heat night at The Lexington, on this episode I talk to Oli and Matty. Oli is part of the band Telegram: -- https://en-gb.facebook.com/teletelegramgram/ -- Matty is one half of the duo that helms the night White Heat: -- www.whiteheatmayfair.com/ -- Together they paint an enthralling picture of the London live music and indie disco scene since 2000. I'm super grateful that they took the time to talk to me, and I look forward to catching up with them again. Thanks also to the bands that were playing last night: Hudson Scott: -- https://en-gb.facebook.com/hudsonscottuk/ -- Chad Valley: -- https://en-gb.facebook.com/chadvalleymusic/ -- Thanks for listening.

Another one-man-rehearsal here, as well as a whole bunch of thoughts from recent episodes. This one goes out to everyone at The Great Escape festival in Brighton for making me feel like I am there through their Instagram stories. I will continue working on my original music. I will play live as Loads Of Japanese Bands. I will continue to document what's happening to me, and the people I meet, as I do this. I will get better at working through the feeling that my presence is a nuisance. I will reach out to people that can help, because what I'm working on is worth it. There. I've said it on the internet now, so there's no taking it back. Maybe I'll see you at The Great Escape 2019. Here's to forging ahead through the uncomfortable parts of life. Thanks for listening.

Today's episode was recorded at the Hatchie show at The Social last night. I got there very early and decided to kill some time by doing what I do best: approaching people with my phone to record them on my podcast. So today's wonderful guests are: Mr. Morrison ( -- https://soundcloud.com/rorrison -- ) and Remi - two of the people that work at The Social -- Carl - the Music Programmer at The Social ( -- https://www.thesocial.com -- ) Camille Christel - the opening artist of the show ( -- https://camillechristel.com/ -- ) Laura, Clio, and Sophie - three friends who were also attending the show --  Jamie - music blogger and filmer of live shows with Jumpin Sounds ( -- https://twitter.com/jumpinsounds -- ) Thank you to all of the guests, and of course Hatchie. I didn't get to talk to her or her band for the podcast, but they were kind enough to sign my copy of their vinyl. Plus the show was all kinds of great. -- https://en-gb.facebook.com/hatchiemusic/ -- Thanks for listening. You can find me in the usual place

If you look at a map of the London Underground Train Network, somewhere between Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road is arguably dead in the center of that map, and that is where I was last night at The 100 Club to see Steve Lamacq. He's on tour talking about his book "Going Deaf For A Living" and his history in the business of music broadcasting in general. The show is fantastic and I highly recommend it. So all of the conversations from today's episode were had within the confines of The 100 Club. And those conversations are: Dan and Sam who were sat behind me, Lawrence who let me borrow his pen, Paige and Tony of the band Voodoo Radio ( -- https://www.twitter.com/voodooradioband -- ), Then there's a little of the show itself, namely the intro and Steve talking about receiving Bloc Party's demo back in the day, Nick Hodgson, formerly of Kaiser Chiefs, And then, after hearing a little from some of his fans, I talk to Steve Lamacq himself. Thank you to everyone who talked to me for today's episode. To see s

Thank you to Phil from The Half Moon in Putney for having a quick chat with me for today's episode. You can find out more about that venue at -- https://www.halfmoon.co.uk -- or -- https://www.twitter.com/halfmoonputney -- My head was (and still is) all over the place recording this episode, but I'm glad I managed to keep it a little shorter. Some of the things I mentioned in this episode include: VOTE FOR THE SEAMONSTERS -- https://www.twitter.com/cmonstersmusic -- Phil Taggart hosts a great live music night called Slacker Night. The next one is on 20th June and Starcrawler are the headline band. The Seamonsters would be a great addition to that line-up, just saying. -- https://www.twitter.com/philytaggart -- https://www.twitter.com/slackernight -- https://www.twitter.com/thestarcrawler -- WHITE HEAT is quite possibly the best Indie Rock Night in London, hosted on Fridays at The Lexington. I would love to see Worst Place, Youth Sector, Novacub; and Factory Seconds, JW Ridley, and Fur play there as I think th

Today's episode was recorded at upstairs at The Old Blue Last once again. This time I spoke with: Worst Place ( -- https://en-gb.facebook.com/placeworst/ -- | -- https://www.instagram.com/placeworst/ -- ) and Walrus ( -- https://www.walrustheband.com -- | -- https://walrustheband.bandcamp.com/ -- ) Thank you both bands for their time, and I hope you enjoy our conversations.

The nature of that experiment can be heard once I finish rambling at the start. This 50 milestone has snuck up on me, so I have nothing particularly special prepared other than to say THANK YOU to everyone who has played a part in the creation of this thing. I'll try my best to keep going.

I love my Dad, and I love talking with him. About anything. It always fills me with joy to know that he is listening to this podcast, and you might recall that he is the one who noticed that I had missed a few days last week or so. With that in mind, I have always planned to have him be a guest on an episode, and I am delighted that we've made it happen. I'm already itching to do it again, but this time around it's a brief introduction to his background that involves music, a little more on our relationship, and mostly what he thinks of the podcast. The title for this episode says it all: Thanks Dad. Thanks for listening.

This is a 30+ minute stream-of-consciousness. I get all I can think of off of my chest. I also curse Google Maps a bit. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saddestnightout/message

Rest In Peace to Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit, and condolences to his family, friends, fans, and all who have been affected by today's very sad news. The first time I saw Novacub play live was the first time anyone saw them play live because it was their first ever gig as a band. At the time I had taken a break from the podcast and was feeling particularly low. After seeing them play I felt newly inspired to return to this daily series, come what may. I talk about this on Episode 20. During the course of our conversation in today's episode, I say that this feels like a group therapy session. And I was only half joking when I said that. There was a lot of love shared in this episode, both for fellow band members and for the process and journey that has lead them to this point. I'm glad I could be there to witness it, and to play whatever small part I can in facilitating this type of sincere and heartfelt communication. It's important to tell the people closest to you how you feel about them while they

Today's episode is another conversation with Romeo Crow. This time the focus is on the process of creating new music, from an idea in your head to a finished product, largely by yourself.

After the open mic last night I heard Kid A playing through the pub's stereo. After finding out it was Zuzana who put it on, I knew I had to find out more. She is naturally very shy, so I am all the more grateful to her for letting me record this conversation. Also the music I play at the end is heavily inspired by the podcast The Read ( -- https://soundcloud.com/theread -- ). If you don't know, now you know. Thanks for listening.
