TRACKLISTING. MONDAY 12/12/2011

As 2012 draws ever nearer, the lists for what’s set to be ‘big’ in the coming 12 months are weighing in thick and fast. However, these lists are anything but definitive, and there’s no reason many of the artists played on tonight’s show won’t go on to set 2012 ablaze.

Indeed, the attention grabbing antics of tonight’s guests La Shark will guarantee them notice in 2012 – as anyone who’s heard the opening bars to their single ‘Magazine Cover’, or seen them live - will testify.

Lists aside, this time of year only means one thing. And we certainly know what’ll be on the South London 3 piece Mayors Of Miyazaki dinner table come the 25^th, although their raucous track ‘Your Goose Is Cooked’ perhaps won’t be replacing Bing Crosby on the stereo anytime soon. It would, however, be the perfect song to use as a rude awakening for the family from their traditional post-lunch slumber. Enjoy.

We also heard some wry, tuneful rock from Union Starr, some refreshingly DIY post-punk from Totem Terrors, and a truly captivating offering from blossoming French singer-songwriter Léonore Boulanger.

Ruth Barnes dropped by to bring us a wonderful ode to sticky tape from No Cars, whose mysterious eccentricity is quickly becoming their trademark. And Ruth also brought us another faultless recommendation in the dark, moody rock atmospherics of 2:54.

Straight from the horse’s mouth, as they say, the bulk of these tunes are brought to us direct from you via the Recommend link above. So, if you’re still craving a list, look no further than the tracklisting below to hear exactly what’s exciting about new music right now, the best cuts from which can be heard in this week’s podcast.
