Guess who’s back…. back again. PodCamp Ireland gave me the proverbial kick in the arse I needed to get the Playlist Mix up and running again. I figured after sitting on it for 5 months and toying with the idea to start it again or cull it altogether that it was high time to bring it back and develop the project as it was intended.

We’ve been looking a bit at the Sound System Podcast here at KKM, seeing how it progress and what changes (if any) are required to improve the podcast from show to show. That said, there will be changes, likely starting this week as we shuffle a few things around. Looking back at last week’s show it was nice to get the podcast back under the hour mark as we still managed to cover everything we needed AND get the usual banter and chat in.

The main point here though is now you have a second podcast to listen to! With PlaylistMix.com I’m taking music from bands all around Ireland (bands need to contact the podcast first) as well as selected tracks from unsigned bands in Canada, the US, Sweden and mainland Europe. I’m not being genre-specific as the latest podcast (number 4) will show - whether it’s metal, electronica, industrial, drum and bass, indie, jazz or otherwise I’m likely to give it a play if I like it.

Musical highlights for you include

That’s part of the reason I’ve brought back the podcast - discovering new music. I’d hope that in listening to the music you’d find something you like as well. Links are available back to the artists’ own websites or MySpace pages or where possible an iTunes link to buy the album so if you enjoy a particular act, check out their site, download some of their music if it’s available or treat yourself to a new album - I know I am! Anyway… have a listen and tell me what you think, all feedback appreciated!
