The Feel Good Transformer (21st Nov)

An all female tracklist (to oppose the full-on man-fest that was last week), quite a good one as well. Seriously check out Duffy, she’s amazing…

I also think I’ve actually got the volume levels right for a change as well.
Note the casual removal of the random mid hour newscast as well. Bonus.

Radio shows down until further notice

This Wednesday (tomorrow) might be a bit more ramshackle as I had a job interview today, therefore less time to prepare, that’s my excuse in advance anyway.

The Feel Good Transformer (14th Nov)

A bit strange in the panning on this one. Only realised it halfway through I think. Damn students messing with the studio mixing desk…

I also didn’t realise how funny saying “Spoon the underdog” without a pause actually sounds, but now I do.

The Rock Lobster is back!

It could possibly promise to be shambolic, it could be amazing, the only way to find out is to tune into RaW (http://radio.warwick.ac.uk) at 11am Wednesday (tomorrow) for the Feel Good Transformer show (feat. the Rock Lobster obviously).

... or you could wait, and I’ll probably upload it later.

Mat and Chris's Indie Nipple, 23rd Feb

God, we spoil you lot. This week the show started 6 and a bit minutes late because the show before us was interviewing Ash’s support act, who turned up very late because of traffic. The low droning the background all the way through the show is Ash warming up, so sorry about that.

MP3 Expired

• The Long Blondes – Giddy Stratospheres

• Chris is late to the studio, so I have to introduce the show on my own. It doesn’t go well.

• Klaxons – Golden Skans
• Idlewild – No Emotion

• Chris finally arrives, migraine and all. We argue about exactly how late he is, and come to the conclusion that he’s wrong.

• Maximo Park – Our Velocity
• Bloc Party – The Prayer (Well, half of it)

At this point, we were trying to queue up some stuff on the digital playback system for the next link. The plan was to do a faux news broadcast, complete with the news jingle and the RaW news bedding. Unfortunately, the dps died spectacularly when trying to load the news bedding (we think because the file didn’t exist), the music cuts out… rabbits in the headlights!

• We break the rules of radio by talking about technical stuff. Bloc Party are awesome, then we do faux news. Tony Blair rises from the dead at Easter, houmous is withdrawn from restaurants because of a salmonella scare. Who the hell is Tony Blour? Travel news live from campus. The travel is… Friday

• Gwen Stefani ft. Akon – The Sweet Escape
• The Shins – Phantom Limb

• Chris unexpectedly becomes a massive racist. Lebanese restaurants, cats can survive falls onto their feet from 7 floors and upwards, and chimps hunt with spears apparantly.

• Badly Drawn Boy – A Journey from A to B
• CSS – Off The Hook

• The best album of last year? Chris and I were basically in Hot Fuzz.

• The Magic Numbers – This is a Song
• The Decemberists – O, Valencia

• The Magic Numbers are damn cheats. Someone requests lots of metal songs in a bout of optimism…

• Muse – Hysteria

Mat and Chris's Indie Nipple, 19th Jan

Does the podcast this week constitute racism? You decide.

Download Expired

In the podcast this week: (Apologies on the audio quality from my mic :()

• Crowds are not allowed at tonight’s Big Brother eviction, so, y’know, don’t bother going.
• I arrive at the station merely 15 seconds before the show starts (it was Chris’s fault for being a cripple) and therefore, far too loudly, announce the show from radio towers in Barbados. Sorry.
• Guillemots – Trains to Brazil
• R.E.M. – Bad Day
• I make fun of the very disfigured Chris
• The Cure – Why Can’t I Be You?
• The Shins – Pressed In A Book
• We talk about some silly person who says there’s no fit men at Warwick. She’s wrong. Thanks, Arianna Webb.
• The Manic Street Preachers – Australia
• The Libertines – Can’t Stand Me Now
• The Sanctuary. It’s rubbish. Celebrity Big Brother. It’s rubbish. “Our Tone” doesn’t watch it!
• Butthole Surfers – Dracula From Houston
• Fields – Song For The Fields
• One World Week. GOOD. Hilary Benn also (Nigel Benn’s dad)
• Larrikin Love – Happy as Annie
• Klaxons – The Bouncer (Worst song we’ve played for some time)
• Chris is on Crystal Meth. Then we try and do on-air sudoku… and die on-air horribly.
• The Young Knives – She’s Attracted To
• Rakes – 22 Grand Job
• We talk about cowbells and stuff. Entertainment! Anyone got any pain killazzz!?
• Guns N’Roses – Welcome To The Jungle (Fucking COWBELL)

I’d like to make a truly serious apology for the production values this week. It was less than great and it’s usually much better than it was… sorry!

Mat and Chris's Indie Nipple – 12th January

Well, we're back. Super! 

• The NEWS
• Doves - Pounding
• Cansei de Ser Sexy - Music Is My Hot Hot Sex
• We talk about times and stuff.. we're back at 5 o clock next week, not 6. I whinge about PGCE students, because in fairness, they're bastards. I stab students, but I give back... And a big ABORT button to tune into Classic FM
  
• Pulp - Disco 2000
• The Arcade Fire - Intervention (Live on KCRW)
• The Arcade Fire, Holly Cruise and her £128m over 5 years, the genre of the Klaxons, and some wonderful racism about Scientologists and TomKat.
• Klaxons - Gravity's Rainbow
• Radiohead - Idioteque (Live BBC Session)
• We thank Thom for his wonderful live in-the-studio rendition. Thom doesn't seem to appreciate it... Bands touring hurts the environment, apparantly.
• Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues
• Thom Yorke - Videotape (Acoustic, Live on From The Underground)
• George Galloway... he hates war, but he loves RaW. Learning guitar, bedding music, air guitar competitions
• Bloc Party - Song For Clay (Disappear Here)
• Modest Mouse - Dashboard
• We're on FM! Horrifying :)
• Apples In Stereo - Same Old Drag
• We completely cock up everything. Curses! We love you, though...

Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity!
