• 00:00 – UltraSyd – Dead But Still Dancing – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – Don’t know much about this artist but I love the track. Heard it on CCHits. Appears to be 2 guys from the pics on the website. Will try to find out more. The website has a lot of content but no real description of members, location etc.

• 07:00 - David Gibb & The Pony Club – I’ll Fall - License Unknown - Heard this on Liverpool Acoustic Spotlight and had to play it. David has a lot of information online and his website is good, if 100% Flash. He was nominated for the BBC 2 Folk Awards and together with his band The Pony Club I think he’ll go far. His voice reminds me a bit of James Blunt.
• 09:55 – The Nancy McKeen Bluz Machine – Third Rail - License Unknown - This track was emailed to me along with a load of others. There is nothing in the world quite like a wailing blues guitar.

• 15:57 – Brokenkites – Besides – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – A great bit of chilled out electro from this US artist. This is taken from the album Parameter Relocation released earlier in the year. You’ll probably hear more of this in futures. Check it on on Jamendo.
• 19:49 - Declan Doherty (AKA Shaky Horse) – When Will You See – All Rights Reserved – Emailed to me by John Whitmore and we had a great discussion about podcasting and promoting CC among the Irish Folk scene. Declan has a great voice with character and I like this track.

• 27:49 – Jonathan Coulton – Re: Your Brains – CC BY-NC Licensed – What can I say about Jonathan that I haven’t already. A truly great Creative Commons artist. This is one of his most popular songs. Singing Zombies, you got to love it.
• 32:16 - MC Frontalot – Zero Day – All Rights Reserved – The title track from his Zero Day album, and it’s freely available from Front’s website. Can’t believe I haven’t played it before. Former guest on the show, listen to episode 45 to hear me talking with Front.

• 40:30 – Diagrams – Antelope – License Unknown – heard on this on AMPed 288 and it comes from Insomnia Radio UK. This is a quirky track and it’s hard to know how to describe. It appealed to me and it’s available free on Soundcloud. I’ll be hosting AMPed next week

• 44:44 – LIVE TRACK – 20lb Sounds – Late In The Game – CC BY-SA Licensed – An acoustic version of a new track by my band. It sounds a lot more rocking with the band but hopefully it comes across well enough stripped down.

• 50:42 - Bruce Benson – “The Healing Prayer” – License Unknown – featuring the late Clarence Clemons on saxophone – In lieu of receiving any money for the download, Benson simply requests that each downloader make whatever donation he or she can to Why Hunger. Under the “Type of Donation” section, donors are asked to complete the section to read, “In Honor of Clarence Clemons and The Healing Prayer.”

I mentioned Catalyst Radio, a streaming UK radio station who have asked if they can use Rathole Radio to increase their music output. I agreed of course. I don’t have the full details but episodes of RR will be appearing in their schedule from now on.

• 61:33 – Heifervescent – Figure 8 - BY-NC-ND Licensed – From the new album Further Adventures In Monkeyland but this Southport artist. I should really contact him and get up there for an interview, it’s only 30mins away from Liverpool. His voice reminds me a little of Ian Brodie in parts.
