During the hiatus, very nice listener Mr. Dave Clifford, heard my griping that I was too lazy to go back through all my play lists and work out which artists have featured on the Brierly Hill 90210 podcast most times. So he did it himself. Nice one, Dave. Here are the results…

Finally a new Brierly Hill 90210 podcast. You don't know what you'll miss 'til it's gone… or some such pap. Anyway, a fine bit of class on the grass with cuttings from Glom Da!, UsedtobeCool, Steveless & Syd Howells, Ladyscraper, Lux, Dead Mellotron and many more to boot. You can find it on iTunes (just search for Brierly Hill 90210 in the music store) or in the podcast section at www.brierlyhill90210.com (ignore the yellow+black police tape on the front page).

I've had major computer problems. My trusty old G5 Mac has finally died and taken my music and web-site with it. I'm still hoping that when I scrape enough money together for a new one, the old drives will still be intact for me to recover what I can. In the meantime, I couldn't leave you hanging! So I've recorded a new podcast but can't make it available in the usual places. Right now the only place you'll find it is as an MP3 download at http://public.me.com/jmiller22. Tell all your friends!

Please join us on the new Brierly Hill 90210…

It’s not technically summer yet but boy does it feel like it here in the Brierly Hill 90210 corner of Pennsylvania. The air conditioners have finally made their annual migration (a little later than usual it has to be said) from the lowlands of the basement. Do we have a summer-themed extravaganza for you to feast your sweltering ears upon? No… no we don’t. But it’s a jolly good podcast anyway with the likes of Dead Satellite, Bare Threads, Vernon Lenoir, Geese, Phil RetroSpector, DJ Ryan Keegan and The Illuminoids to name but some.

Podcast…

Last weekend saw the release to the iEther of another Brierly Hill 90210 podcast. The recording went relatively smoothly (“relatively” is definitely BH90210esque) but once recorded, things got interesting.

Since moving to the new house, my office-come-studio is on the third floor. This being a Victorian gothic revival piece of architecture built in 1890 (we had a history lesson at the weekend), it’s not exactly “wired” so my internet connection is wireless to the FiOS modem on the ground floor. My Dell laptop for work sits about 4 feet away and works just fine but my Mac G5’s connection is,…

In which Jon starts sentimentally regarding the birth of his new son before launching into the usual plethora of excellence with the likes of DJ The Blade, Evils, MGMT, Das Wanderlust, Max Party, Gudmutts, TechJio, Sybris and many more.

A new podcast went on air last night. Did I make a right tit of myself at the end of the show? All I was left with this morning was a nasty recollection and a hangover.

Ah well.

Brierly Hill 90210 shunts the 2008 train up the junction with Barom One, Ebola, Weakling & King, Seindorff, Peter Parka, Candy Panic Attack, Maudite Dance, Aldrin in the Eagle, Trawsfynydd Lo-Fi Liberation Front & Stabmaster Vinyl, Man In Formaldehyde and more.

Time to dust off the old resolutions and get out your Lang Synes. It’s end-of-the-year-review time on Brierly Hill 90210. The new podcast (which started broadcasting on the wee small hours of December 31st) features some tunes that tickled my fancy this year and, more importantly, several that got close to your fancy with a feather duster. Hear 2007s finest from Dan Deacon, DJ Floorclearer, Weakling & King, Codex Machine, A Place To Bury Strangers, Von Sudenfed, Ebola, Cuban Boys and many more.

I hope 2007 brought you what you wanted in life…

I have to sing 3 (no more, no less) songs to my 2-year-old son each night before he’ll go to sleep. At this time of year, The 12 Days of Christmas adds a bit of variety (well, for the first few renditions). But, being anal (which verges on the rainmanish), it has to be right and, having a mathematical bent, there must be some logic to be found. This serves no purpose but to help poor old Dad remember the words. But, sure enough, it turns out the logic is driven, not surprisingly, by a clear class structure.

Everyone knows…
