Podcast Episode Six Released

The new Rhubarb Bomb Podcast is now available to download for free through iTunes. We’ve changed the format slightly, making them a little shorter but with the intention of releasing one a month.

Episode 6 looks ahead at what is coming up in August, which includes an interview with Runaround Kids bassist Jack Winn ahead of their album launch and a track from that very record. We also look at upcoming festivals, including Indietracks and Beacons and the bands RB is looking forward to most. The podcast includes a range of music, from a band’s first ever demo to tunes from more established artists. The change basically gives us the chance to play the records we are into asap, and for you to check out what’s been impressing RB

The next podcast will come at the end of August. If you have information regarding events you want us to mention please email us at therhubarbbomb@googlemail.com and, as ever, if you want us to review your record, with the possibility of it getting played on the next podcast, head to the website for the address.

Thanks, and spread the word!

Podcast Special

The new Rhubarb Bomb Podcast is now available to download

http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/rhubarb-bomb/id381555466

It could be described as a 'special' as opposed to the regular episodes as we have based it around the almost obsolete idea of the B-Side, instead of the usual collection of newer records we've come across. I was joined in the studio by Tim Metcalfe of St Gregory Orange and together we searched through our record collections, picking out and playing our favourite B-Sides and talking inanely in the gaps inbetween. Its a pretty eclectic mix, but we hope you will enjoy it.

We were also lucky enough to have Tim perform a live acoustic version of a new song from the forthcoming St Greg album which can be found amongst all the mutterings. It's rather good. And maybe, one day, it'll be worth something...

Podcast Apology

In the new Issue (1.4) we interviews Tim of St Gregory Orange and mentioned you could hear his exclusive live rendition of one of the new songs off the forthcoming album on our new podcast - a special where Tim and myself play our favourite B-Sides. Well, its coming along, but there has been a bit of a delay... massive technical problems. It will be along soon enough though, do not worry. We will announce it on here, and on the facebook too, so keep yr eyes peeled.

New Podcast Recorded

Hey there,

We have recorded our new podcast and are currently editting it together. Then it'll just be down to the people of iTunes to give it thumbs up and it will be with you.

Our guest on this edition was our good friend Chris Morse, who is the head man of Louder than Bombs Records, as well as the club night of the same name. He's been putting on gigs in Wakefield for a long time and we spoke to him about why (and how) he does it.

We were also joined, at the eleventh hour by Mr Rob Dee, head of Philophobia Music who updates us on his labels goings on as well as offending everyone from Glasgow. We were all a little hungover and tired and as such the editting process was a testing one (!) but it was great fun and thankfully we got some great tunes in there for you too including tracks from the forthcoming Phantom Band and iLiKETRAiNS albums.

Whilst we will continue with these podcasts we are looking to improve upon them in the new year. We are also going to produce some 'one off specials', the first of which should be with you alongside the new issue in December. I will be joined by Tim from St Gregory Orange and will feature us talking about (and playing) some of our favourite B-Sides.

Rhubarb Bomb Podcast

Our first ever Podcast is now complete and available to download from iTunes for FREE.

As Rhubarb Bomb is only currently released quarterly, we wanted to fill those gaps with something else. And a Podcast seemed the ideal way to let you know about the exciting records we’d come across and events that were going on in the interim. We intend to continue this process, with the distinct possibility of special ‘one off’ editions too.

Episode One is 60 minutes long and sees myself joined by part time Rhubarb Bomb contributor and ‘renowned’ folk musician ‘The Passing Fancy’, as well as Mr Rob Dee, head of much respected Philophobia Music for a pleasant chat about allsorts. We’ve squeezed in 10 amazing tracks, including exclusive first plays of tracks from Runaround Kids, Buen Chico, Mi Mye and a track from the upcoming Philophobia Compilation, ‘Under the Bus Station Clock’. We’ve got the brand new Pains of Being Pure At Heart single ‘Say No to Love’ (interview with them in the next issue too) and we also announce and play tracks from the bands that will feature on the opening night of the first ever Leeds Fringe Festival, which we are curating, on August 19th.

Chapter 38B

You pour the yellow vial into the blue and gently mix them until the substance is a bright green colour. You cautiously sip it and wait.

You feel nothing and turn to see the other people in the room, Their faces are still hidden, at first, but then they appear, out of the haze of the gloom. They are smiling and laughing, though kind of in reverse, like when you rewind a video, you think, wondering when was the last time you ever rewound a video. Like is streaming in through the doorway you first came through, bright, almost painful in it’s power. You can feel it deep inside your soul. It warms you. You swear you can feel your feet lifting off the ground.

You put your hand in your pocket and get out your phone. It looks huge in your hands, which now seem incredibly small. You notice it isn’t a phone at all, but a TV remote that has huge fast forward and rewind buttons on it.

It dawns on you that time is not linear, but as a being condemned to live it’s existence in the third dimension, you have no power over the fourth, and time passes you by, day after day after day, like a video tape.

Where there was darkness in the room is now only pure white light. In your other hand is the Long Division Programme. The names lift off the page and float around you, like stars in distant nebulae. It looks pretty cool.

You reckon, with considered use of this remote control thing, you’ll be able to fling yourself back and forth through space and time. But the question is, where to? You look around and certain names flicker amongst the constellations. Which do you pick?
