Lift The Cover is a new Musical Podcast Project that features exclusive material, recorded especially for the Podcast. The goal of the project is to help you discover new bands/artists and investigate the originals.

The seeds of Lift the Cover began during the Vindaloo Cocktail Podcast. Plans were undertaken for an entire episode of exclusive tracks for the ‘By Request’ episode in which, all the songs were chosen for the artist. Lift The Cover was then established to extended the concept to a stand alone Podcast.

To begin, 4 editions have been released as follows

McCarthy Trenching
Team Love Recording artist and Omaha Nebraska resident Dan McCarthy offers his take on Neil Young’s ‘Star of Bethlehem’.

Twiggy Frostbite
Swedish group Twiggy Frostbite deliver their version of Doris ‘Grey Rain of Sweden’.

Faces on Film

Seagull

Episode 35: Time is Ripe

TRACK LISTING

North South Hi was a very limited edition CD that complied DJs, Gear Jockeys, Cut Up Artists from Melbourne.  One of these projects was The Deck Collectors that featured DJ Dexter (formerly of the Avalanches).  The highlight for me is Short’s ‘Go The Dato’.  According to the artist, he was in Canberra ACT where he came across these young teens (the legal driving age in Australia is 18) driving an unlicensed beefed up Datsun 120Y (B210).  Short happened to have his portable DAT recorder with him and interviewed and recorded them burning out the dato.  I have not come across this CD in years and upon hearing it again I felt time was ripe to share it with you all.

Go The Dato – Short
Tony Get Your Gun -  The Deck Collectors

ENTIRE CD

Telsa
Silver Rockets

While everyone was surprised by Sweden bringing a sudden surge of indie activity, the real shock came from Poland’s Silver Rockets ode to Nikola Tesla, ‘Telsa’ LP.  Silver Rockets sound fell somewhere between The Tindersticks, Flaming Lips & Ennio Morricone. 

Transatlantyk – Silver Rockets

Porn on Vinyl
I spent the night thinking, with short periods of sleep, interrupted by visions

As most teens search for identities to mimic and mine, Irish 17-year-old Aidan Wall records experimental lo-fi folk.  His latest effort ‘I spent the night thinking, with short periods of sleep, interrupted by visions’ has been unleashed and is slowly turning heads with his modern day ‘Pearls Before Swine’ tunes.

Set up Apparatus – Porn on Vinyl

The Black Angels
Directions to See A Ghost

Why is that their first LP ‘Passover’ was loved and this seemingly missed the accolades?

Dove – The Black Angles

Head Like A Kite
There is Loud Laughter Everywhere

 Extremely well produced 2nd LP by HLAK, features the very intriguing  ‘No Ordinary Caveman’.   Featured guests from The Long Winters, Radio 4, Crooked Fingers, Smoosh, Animals at Night and touring partner Trent Moorman. 

Daydream Vacation  - Head Like A Kite

Iglomat
(Self Titled)

With the advent of the Internet, you would expect to see more collaboration like Iglomat.  One based in Scotland the other in Texas, they would collaborate via stream and record the results.  The result?  Post and past every genre you could imagine. 

Tornadic Activity - Iglomat

Sometimes there are certain events when injustice tends to overwhelm you and bleeding obvious punching you in the face.  You hear a group and think, ‘Why isn’t this huge?’ … Cymbals Eat Guitars are a band that I can’t help but feel; the world should’ve been their oyster by now. 

 Judge for yourself….

And the Hazy Sea - Cymbals Eat Guitars
