The ScouseVeg Jukebox never really got off the ground… but starting January we’ll have another crack. If you have a song you want to hear then post a comment. (Shout out to Martin: I’ll do my best to get through the list and add some of your requests !)
But before any of that a track from Thom Yorke from the Eraser album:
Atoms For Peace

“… From the Basement was inspired in part by the Seventies and Eighties BBC show The Old Grey Whistle Test. ‘Talking Heads did “Psycho Killer” on it and the camera was so close on David Byrne that it felt like he was performing just for you.’ Godrich, who is known for his work with Radiohead, Beck and Paul McCartney, also wanted to replicate the ‘magic first take’ that bands habitually achieve at the start of his recording sessions. ‘These are always slightly imperfect, but for some reason you can never get the sound to gel so well afterwards.’
The first half-hour show was recorded at a studio in Maida Vale and will be available for download at a price of £9.48 (or £1.89 for an individual track). Beck and Jamie Lidell have been filmed for a second show, which will go up on the website and on iTunes in February.”
