I Hear a New World is back! Featuring My Latest Novel, King Creosote, Musée Mécanique, David Tattersall (The Wave Pictures), Paper Planes & Broken Social Scene

By Milo | February 4, 2010

 So seeing as I’m trying to be as productive as possible as part of this whole ’100 Days to Get My Shit Together’ thing (no I hadn’t forgotten about it!) I thought it was about time I brought the podcasts back.

This first, rather hurried one is mainly here to promote the Ten Tracks bundle and issue 1 of the zine, so apologies to those of you who’ll be sick of my constant self-promotion, but I hope the choice of some BLOODY BRILLIANT tracks is enough to make up for it. And hopefully future podcasts will have a bit more structure to them and a bit more production polish – this was recorded live with no preparation so imagine what it could be like with a little forward planning! (and apologies for over modulation and varying sound levels in places..)

Tracklisting:

1. My Latest Novel – The Greatest Shakedown

2. King Creosote – No Cigarettes (written by Withered Hand)

3. Musée Mécanique – Like Home

4. David Tattersall (of The Wave Pictures) – Happy For a While

5. Paper Planes – Doris Day

6.  Broken Social Scene - Anthem for a 17 Year Old Girl

p.s. I’m delighted to report that there’s a wee interview with me on Peenko’s blog, which was just voted top music site in the ScotBlogs Awards.

It’s the first in his new ‘Community Service’ series about people who are active in the Scottish music scene, and he asked me some very good questions about the motivations behind this blog and putting out a fanzine which took quite a lot of thought to answer.

Personally I reckon his original title ‘Care in the Community’ might be more appropriate in my case!

that was cracking, I hadn’t realised you also did podcasts. your talents seem to know no boundaries Mr McLaughlin! Hadn’t heard that WH cover before, going to have pester my mate to lend me a copy.
musee mecanique were also completely new to me, nice find that man, might haev to invest in an album now. Oh and finishing with BSS was a touch of class. When’s the next podcast going up then?

Cheers mate glad you enjoyed! Yeah No Cigarettes is such a good song, to have a KC version is just bliss! Review of MMs album will be up shortly :)

sweet, I’ll try and remember to subscribe to it when I get home tonight

I can’t get the subscribe button to work, and can’t find your podcast on iTunes.
What am I doing wrong?

If you search for ‘I hear a new world podcast’ in iTunes it comes up. Not sure why the link wouldn’t work..

It’s coming up on iTunes, but it’s showing as having not been updated since June. Are you going to be uploading the new episodes? Because, if so, I shall resubscribe :)

Milo on 07/02/2010 at 4:04 pm.

The new episode is there, but for some reason it only downloads once you subscribe.. so yes, please re-subscribe!

Excellent podcast! Much enjoyed it. What are the other WH/KC tracks on that CD, please?

Cheers Ed! Don’t have it at hand but I’lll do a wee write up of it later in the week.
