The Scratch Cast - The Alternative Music Podcast - Episode 23

“The Biannual Music Podcast”

13th January 2023

Our first podcast of 2023 is finally here! Full disclosure though, this episode was recorded way back in November, even before the WACO interview (which it took a back seat to). So… expect the digital corkboard and some of our references to specific days, weeks and months to be totally out of date…

Given our relaxed release schedule over the course of the last year (something the episode title pokes fun at) this is another bumper submissions episode where we catch up with as much stuff as we can.

On this episode, we almost avoid talking about piss, Snedds tells a pointless story about looking for a Post Coal Prom Queen tweet and Grant drops some quiz facts about the musical abilities of Bonnie and Clyde…

The digital corkboard returns with releases from “Mothman and the Thunderbirds”, “Voldo” and “Equal Frequencies“.

On our singles swap we discuss “Didn’t Care” by North Carolina’s folktronica duo “Sylvan Esso” and “Let The Lights On” from North London indie rockers “Sorry”.

And for our bumper submissions episode we talk about “II/Infinity”, the debut album from experimental electronic pop artist “O-SHIN”, the self-titled EP from Norwegian surf-punk trio “The Bundy Bunch”, “Evidence of a Broken Mind”, the debut album from Utrecht quintet “Two and a Half Girl”, “Endure”, the latest single from Los Angeles psyche-rockers “Magna Zero”, the self titled EP from Leeds rockers “Radio Aftermath”, and finally “Shadows”, the debut album from Genoese doom metal veterans ”ExpiatoriA”.
