Fuck its November almost. Where’s the year gone? I don’t know. And I feel kinda ill. So I loaded up on garlic. Now I’m kinda ill and kinda smelly. Balls. Anyhow this is the final part of a trilogy of shows focusing on punk and hardcore in my home town of Southampton. I’ve saved some gems until last so I hope you dig it. There’s also a bunch of other cool pop punk and garage tracks to get hip to. Happy Halloween/Guy Fawkes night, see you next month. - Phil Chokeword
Track Listing
1. Gordon Gano's Army – Who You Really Are (From Art of the Underground Singles Series Vol 22 7" on Art of the Underground)
2. Business Of Death – Definition (From the self released S/T LP – Business Of Death Myspace)
3. 7 Arrows Through Your Bastard Heart – Democracy At Work (From the self released S/T CD-R - 7 Arrows Myspace)
4. Through These Eyes – Break In (From the split CD with When All Else Fails on Cat n’ Cakey Records)
5. Minute Manifesto – Coping Vulture (From the split LP Urko on Enslaved Records and Boy Useless Records)
6. The Tamrons – Wildman (From the “Back From The Grave Volume 2” CD on Crypt Records)
7. The Marked Men – Locked Out (From the “Ghosts” CD on Dirtnap Records)
8. The New Bomb Turks – I’m Weak (From the “Destroy-O-Boy” CD on Crypt Records)
9. Bangers – Most Wanted Men (From the “Brits Abroad” 7” on Specialist Subject Records)
10. No Bunny – It’s True (From the “Love Visions” CD on 1-2-3-4-Go! Records)
Oi Feckin’ Oi!:
1. This was put together on my family's PC using Audacity and a USB record player, some over played CDs and 7"s and a cheap Internet microphone. Plus this MP3 is a lower bit rate than most in order to keep it at a manageable size. So if there’s a song on here that you dig and want to buy the record it came off, don't be put off if it sounds kinda rough or scuzzy. I can guarantee it'll sound better in the original format. I hope that makes sense!
2. I asked the bands (Business Of Death, 7 Arrows Through Your Bastard Heart, Through These Eyes, Minute Manifesto, Bangers), the labels (Crypt, Dirtnap, Art Of The Underground) or Southern Lovin’ (1-2-3-4-Go!) if it was OK to podcast their songs and they were cool with it. I think one of the great things about the Internet is that it’s really easy to get in contact with people whose music you dig and I'd like to take time to thank them for allowing me to play their songs. Cheers!
3. It goes without saying that if you like this podcast, let your friends know about it! Please? Thank you. And get in touch too if you dig it/hate it/have any tips. tensongspodcast [at] googlemail [dot] com or leave a comment.
I've uploaded the podcast to bliptv. I'm a little confused by RSS feeds and all that bumph, but I think that they sort all this for me. This means that it should be pretty easy to subscribe to the podcast. As I understand it, you need to cut and paste this url into your podcast catcher - http://tensongspodcast.blip.tv/rss - or if you use itunes, hopefully you'll be able to do the same thing if you CLICK HERE.
Uploading to blip.tv also means that you can use the player below to stream the podcast and listen to it without downloading it. Plus if you RIGHT CLICK HERE and select "save target as" you should have the option of downloading the podcast and listening to it on the sly at work or something. Get in. (If you left click, it streams the audio too, but it jumps to another page and takes forever.)
This is October’s podcast and the second of three shows focusing on punk and hardcore from my home town of Southampton. This is an entire show of old Southampton bands from between 2000–2007 – basically from about the millennium to when I went travelling. I started off with the idea that I could do a kind of overview that would include all the great bands from this period but there were too many songs and too many people that needed to be included. So even though Ten Songs #11 is going to feature another short set of old Southampton HC, I couldn’t include everyone and everything. Sorry, it’s nothing personal. Anyhow, I think this has been my favourite show to record and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did digging out all the old CDs and putting it together. - Phil Chokeword

2. No Substance – Not Just Surviving (From the “Last Seven Songs” CDR on At The Library Records – No Substance Myspace)

4. Social Parasites – Society (From the self released self titled CDR – Social Parasites Myspace)
5. Wreak Of Old 98 – My Friends Are My Heroes (From the self titled LP on Opiate, Milliepeed Records, Superfi Records, SNCL and Weight Of Days)
6. Circus Act – You, The Suspect (From the “This Is Your Destination” CD on Milliepeed Records – Circus Act Myspace)
7. Haywire – Carnival of Chaos (Unreleased - Haywire Myspace)

This is May’s podcast and I’ve got another guest podcaster. This time Chris – who lives in Austria – is playing a set of Austrian hardcore.
