3: THE DICKIES – Paranoid (Secret) – The track they made their own (much to the annoyance of the metal fana at the time) back when they released it as a super fast helium fuelled punk rock single back in the day.

11: ONLY UNTIL – Kabalaean City (Hollow Soul) – From the London (slightly lo-fi) post hardcore/post-rock/progressive band’s rather ambitiously good debut/newly released album – www.onlyuntil.com or www.myspace.com/onlyuntil

12: KUNK – We Are Not Who You Think We Are (Plastic Sun) – Lead track from the Norwich band’s forthcoming (debut?) single on new independent label Plastic Sun (always good to see a new and real independent label getting out there and just doing it). Slightly awkward indie alt.rock – www.kunk.co.uk

15: COUNTRYSIDE – Tape Dysfunctional #4 (demo) – A revisit to the Bristol band’s absolutely beautiful demo – lo-fi texture and delightfully English post-rock/other-pop. One of the most beautifully inspiring demos we’ve been sentin a long long time – www.myspace.com/countryssideland

16: CRASS – Sheep Farming In The Falklands (Crass) – I do feel a certain obligation to pepper the airwaves with a healthy dose of Crass now and again – classic politically aware, caustic, challenging, life changing DIY punk rock and so so much more – www.southern.com/southern/label/CRC/

17: TED MAUL -  Forest... With This Memory Of A Free Festival (Game) – Track from the self proclaimed mentalist-metal band’s critically acclaimed debut album from last year – seriously forward looking original sounding extreme metal. The London band have just been confirmed as being on the forthcoming HIMSA / TOO PURE TO DIE / A LIFE ONCE LOST UK tour that includes a London date on 19th March at the Camden Underworld - www.tedmaul.com

18: MANCHESTER UNITED CALYPSO – the classic Jamaican 1950’s calypso celebrating the legendary Busby Babes. No need to say anything else this week 50 years on from the Munich disaster..... 

19: PLAAYDOH – Oh Jay (Winning Sperm Party) - From the The Plaaydoh EP, we loved it from the moment the first note hit us. No, loved it as soon as we opened the envelope and got our hands on the home-made package. “Plaaydoh are a lo-fi pop band from Glasgow” says the scribbled piece of paper – and yes, the piece of paper is correct. Plaaydoh are a brilliantly spiky shouty poppy lo-fi diy band from Glasgow with five songs - three of which are instant bites of creative punk rock attitude and abrasive pointy adrenaline (the other two aren’t that far behind either). Comes is an excellent hand made sleeve – tactile, inviting, demand your instant attention. Limited to 100 (ours is orange and number 11). Purple sounds like The Fall meet a very edgy Go Team via a shouty Vile Vile Creatures (or Bis), Boyscout sounds like lo-fi Bananarama for pop loving Liars fans, Oh Jay is just a brilliant delight. Plaaydoh are charming, messy, Plaaydoh are full of bite, most of all they have these great songs that are laced with delicious energy and dangerous character, Plaaydoh are brilliantly different. We love this EP, we want more... and these Winning Sperm Party people look like they’re up to good things tooooooo – go investigate – this is why we do this Organ thing! - www.winningspermparty.com  or www.myspace.com/plaaydoh

20: BAUHAUS – Zikir (Cooking Vinyl) – Now what’s this, a rather Resonance friendly track from the new Bauhaus album – the new album is called Go Away White and comes out on 17th  March 2008 – www.cookingvinyl.com

21: MARCIA X - Goat Chorus  - From the Californian desert with some sound art creativity and two goats called Sassy and Bessie May 

Next Sunday, all being well, will be Marina’s turn and her OTHER ROCK SHOW – where rock music comes laced with unusual time signatures and sounds just a little less conventional than normal.
 
 

Its brief? To provide a radical alternative to the universal formulae of mainstream broadcasting. It features programmes made by musicians, artists and critics who represent the diversity of London's arts scene, with regular contributions from Billy Jenkins, Savage Pencil, John Bisset, Mike Barnes, Matthew  Glammore, Peter Cusack, Caroline Kraabel, Clive Graham, Viv Corringham, Chris Cutler, Charlie Dark, Magz Hall, Harmon E.

Resonance104.4fm is bringing a multitude of experimental sound, new music, radio art and interaction to the capital's airwaves. Resonance104.4fm broadcasts from the heart of London and is simultaneously streamed on the web at www.resonancefm.com where you can also check out our full programme listings.  Resonance104.4fm is the only station of its kind in the UK, providing access radio for London's arts community.

Imagine a radio station like no other. A radio station that makes public those artworks that have no place in traditional broadcasting. A radio station that is an archive of the new, the undiscovered, the forgotten, the impossible. That is an invisible gallery, a virtual arts centre whose location is at once local, global and timeless. And that is itself a work of art. Imagine a radio station that responds rapidly to new initiatives, has time to draw breath and reflect. A laboratory for experimentation, that by virtue of its uniqueness brings into being a new audience of listeners and creators. All this and more,  Resonance104.4fm aims to make London's airwaves available to the widest possible range of practitioners of contemporary art.
