Website problems fixed and new Mp3s up

Well my hate/hate relationship with internet FTP software has had a bad week... the new website was down for a few days after I crashed the thing, but with much thanks to Robert we are back up and running with an additional page added that groups together the Mp3s of past shows.

Also added there are last week's show, plus the missing show 12 for which many thanks Lukas for helping us out by providing a recording. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to think of all the great support we are getting. (either that or this single malt is hitting the right spots...!)

So we now have shows 11 through to 14 available for download. what's more I think I now understand the whole thing better after much patient tuition from Robert and we shouldn't have problems on the same scale again.

Now its up and running again I can face Al on Sunday evening...!

Thanks for listening

Listen again (temporarily)

Tonight's show will be up at our website soon, but as the online recording worked (for a change) I thought I'd let you listen here to the rough version, before Richard clears it up a bit.

www.auditionradio.info - our new website

Click here to see our brand-spanking-new website - nice one, Richard! This is where you'll need to go to listen again to our past shows and you'll find three of them there already for your aural pleasure. I think Richard has done a marvellous job, and there's much more to come. Meanwhile, this blog will continue to publish playlists and announcements, so bookmark both. There's a link to the site over there on the right, too, in case www.auditionradio.info is too difficult for you to remember.

I have a big grin on my face as I'm posting this.

Three more months - and a new time

You'll be pleased to know that we've been given another three months on Resonance, taking us up to the end of June. Thanks to everyone who has listened, talked to/about us here or elsewhere and even the couple of people who have got in touch directly with Resonance to say how much they like the show. We couldn't have done it without you!

The one difference in the next three months is that we're moving to an earlier time slot. As from this Sunday, April 2, we'll be broadcasting between 7 and 8pm BST (that's 6-7pm GMT for those of you who need to know such things). We like to think of it as a promotion, and it means we can go to the pub afterwards and still get to our respective homes at a reasonable hour (we both have proper jobs to go to on Monday mornings!).

Also, look out for a really important announcement early next week. I know I've said it before, but this time it really will happen. We're that close...

Kein Treppenhaus!

Looking at our site stats, I noticed that one of our visitors (from Wedding, Berlin - hello there!) had found us by looking at German Google. I couldn't resist sharing the "translate this page" version of Hörprobe with you all. "Justieren nicht ihren satz" indeed.

To all our overseas listeners

The UK went onto British Summer Time (BST) today, which means that our show will be at 9.30pm BST but 8.30pm GMT today. If your country didn't go onto Daylight Savings (or equivalent) today, you'll need to tune in an hour earlier than you normally would!

This month's exclusive live recording

It's the last show of the month, and that means another exclusive live recording from the Sound 323 vaults. And we're rather looking forward to this one.

Sachiko M, Taku Unami and Matt Davis live at Kid Ailack Hall, Tokyo, 2003.

9.30pm London time, Sunday 26 March. Tell all your friends.

No Stairway!

"I don't understand why some people will only accept a guitar if it has an instantly recognizable guitar sound. Finding ways to use the same guitar people have been using for 50 years to make sounds that no one has heard before is truly what gets me off."

Jeff Beck

This week marks the first in an occasional series of programmes focussed on one instrument. We're dedicating the show to solo guitar tracks that are either very hard to find, or have an unusual approach to the instrument in question, or are performed by someone who you don't usually associate with the guitar. Usually more than one of the above applies!

After our five track show last week, you may be pleased to hear that we'll be playing the most tracks we've ever squeezed into an hour.

We'll keep most of the show under wraps for now, but to whet your appetite I can reveal that we will be playing an extremely rare Keith Rowe track and something from Taku Sugimoto's very first solo guitar album. Even Taku can't track one down these days, or so I'm told.

See you then, but I'm off now to listen to "Hi Ho Silver Lining" with a fresh pair of ears.

Listen again...partially

Technical snafus continue to plague us...the minidisc we recorded the show on got accidentally erased (while Richard tried to listen to it walking down Tottenham Court Road - don't ask) and the online equivalent only recorded the first half hour, bafflingly. But anyway, dig it here. You at least get the first fifteen minutes of the Annette/Toshi duo. And I have it on good authority that Sound 323 will have copies of the Annette Krebs CD-R in due course. Relax! You'll be able to hear it all soon!

Exclusive Annette Krebs / Toshi Nakamura set on tonight's show!

We're really excited to be bringing you a 2005 improvisation from Annette Krebs and Toshimaru Namamura as the cornerstone of our show tonight. Available only on a self-produced CD-R selection of Annette's recent work, we think this'll be the first time it's been broadcast anywhere in the world. We're sure you'll really enjoy this half-hour set. Tune in at 9.30pm London time for this and more.
