Propaganda Top 10 of 2009

So last Thursday on Xstream East we revealed our Top 10 tracks of 2009 and now in Blog form we give you a chance to check out the videos:

10. 90mph - Tom Williams & The Boat


Straight in at number 10 and straight out of Tonbridge Wells are Tom Williams and the Boat. This single from earlier in the year is what the E Street Band would have sounded like if they were from Kent. The above video is an acoustic demo of the track.

9. Under The Bed - Kids Love Lies


We have supported Kids Love Lies since their early demos, this is their second single release for Cherryade and is a slice of pure indie-opo perfection plus it has a rather fab video.

http://www.myspace.com/kidslovelies

8. Tears In The Rain - The Palpitations


At Number 8 is a slice of Spector-style pop released on one of our favourite labels Pussing Pussy, It's The Palpitations with their debut single Tears In The Rain which was released in September.

http://www.myspace.com/thepalpitationsuk

7. Promethesus - Sound Of Rum


At Number seven is some south-east London Hip Hop courtesy of Sound Of Rum who played one of the best gigs we saw all year when they played The Birds Nest in Deptford back in July and provided us with our most surreal interview of the year on the roundabout outside. (No video exsists for Promethesus so we have included the video for Slow Slow which taken from the Balance EP which also includes Promethesus)

http://www.soundofrum.com

6.Time To Rest - Mr Bones And The Dreamers


Our track at Number 6 is from seven piece Birmingham band Mr Bones And The Dreamers and is taken from their In The Absence of Light EP released on Cat Cutter Records. It's been a favourite of both of ours this year and we are suckers for violins.

http://www.myspace.com/mrbonesandthedreamers

5.I Go I Go I Go - Wave Machines


Top 5 time now and this Liverpool band released this electro-pop gem back in June and it's rather infectious melodies have been in our heads since then. Also we strongly reccomend their debut album which it is taken from Wave If Your Really There.

http://www.myspace.com/mywavemachine

4.Salt Air - Chew Lips


Another band we have supported since their earliest demos, Chew Lips relesed this single back in June. We are expecting massive things of their debut album due for release early 2010.

http://www.myspace.com/chewlips


3.This Is Not The Fire - My Tiger My Timing


Our 3rd favourite track of 2009 is from South London Electro-pop heads My Tiger My Timing (It's getting boring saying this but another band we have supported since their earliest demos. When we gave the demo of this track a spin on Diesel U Music back in May 2008) This is their debut single and was released in May, another band for which we are very excited about their debut album.

http://www.myspace.com/mytigermytiming

2.Love Is The Path To Self Destruction - Brontosaurus Chorus


At Number 2 is quite simply the indie-pop anthem of 2009. Brontosaurus Chorus's Love Is The Path To Self Destruction. It seems like a life-time since this was released but it was in fact March when it was included on the rather ace mini-album You've Created A Monster. Which is available from the also rather ace Pop-Art records.

http://www.myspace.com/brontosauruschorus

1.The Key - Speech Debelle


At number 1 is Speech Debelle and The Key our 2nd London Hip-Hop track in the Top 10. I think we played this on the first ever Propaganda show and Speech Debelle has probably been played more on Propaganda than any other artist. I think until her Mercury win in September we were probably the only radio show playing her material and no-one was more surprised and pleased than us when she went on to win the Mercury Music Prize.

More info on Propaganda and to listen to the show again check here:

Propaganda Top 20 of 2009

Yes it’s that time of year again when we get to compile our favourite tunes of the year. Originally we were going to compile a Top 10 but we struggled to narrow it down so decided to select a Top 20 instead and split it over two shows, part one was broadcast last night and here are our choices.

20. The First Days Of Spring - Noah And The Whale


Yes we know that 5 Years Time was incredibly annoying after a while but The First Days Of Spring was the first taster from their 2nd Album of the same name and it blew us away and backs up our theory that all great art is created through heartbreak. Plus you can still download this track for free here:

http://www.noahandthewhale.com/FDOS.html


19. Ready For War – Tonka


At number 19 we have some House music straight from Germany released on Brighton label Southern Fried. Okay it's a little bit retro but has all the hallmarks of an anthem dirty bass, big strings and piano one of our favourite dance tunes of the year.

http://www.myspace.com/djtonkagermany

18. Critical – Soft Toy Emergency


This ear-worm is straight out of Liverpool, pure electro pop at its finest, if this was a Girls Aloud release it would be number one in the real pop charts. We played this on it’s first release and then we played the rather fine DC Breaks remix on its re-release.

http://www.myspace.com/softtoyemergency

17. Bad Man Horror Theme - A1 Bassline


If you thought was Tonka had some filthy bass then at number 17 A1 Bassline gets even dirtier, the best thing to come out of Croydon since the tram and Superman Revenge Squad.

http://www.myspace.com/a1bassline

16. Knock You Out – Black Noise


Southern Fried has been our label our choice for dancefloor anthems and once again they came up trumps in 2009 with Black Noise and Knock You Out which has reached number 16 in out Top 20 tracks of 2009.

http://www.myspace.com/blacknoiseboyz

15. The Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Future – Los Campesinos!


I could write a whole essay on why Los Campesinos! are one of the greatest bands to emerge from the last couple of years but I will save that for another time. This is the first taster from their forthcoming Third Album Romance Is Boring which we are very excited about!

http://loscampesinos.com/

14. Auditorium - Mos Def feat Slick Rick



At Number 14 one of our favourite Hip Hop Tracks of the year moody strings and features the legend who is Slick Rick what more do you need?

http://www.myspace.com/mosdef

13. Disappearing Act - Jonny Cola & The A-Grades


Number 13 in our chart is the supergroup formed from the ashes of Luxembourg,Rhesus and The Rocks to become the rather fantastic Jonny Cola & The A Grades, this is taken from the Yellow Mini which is an album we heavily endorse. The only video we could find on youtube was this live one.

http://www.myspace.com/jonnycolaandtheagrades

12.Basic Space - The XX


Number 12 in the chart is The XX about the only time I band is worthy of the hype. Go buy the album you will not be disappointed.

http://www.myspace.com/thexx

11. Heads Will Roll - Yeah Yeah Yeahs


2009 was the year The Yeah Yeah Yeahs went and made a synth album thus creating the indie disco anthem of the year with Heads Will Roll making number 11 on our chart.

New Lucky Soul Single - White Russian Doll

Here at Propaganda we love Lucky Soul, simply one of the greatest bands to emerge from South East London. One of our proudest moments on Earwax was when they played an acoustic session for us. Since then I have seen them numerous times in a strange variety of venues from a boat and the O2 Arena to the slightly more coventional Barfly.

For those of you who have not the joy of discovering Lucky Soul go buy their debut album The Great Unwanted which was released on Ruffa Lane which is indie-pop, with a hint of Motown and Spector style genius.

The second album is due next year and White Russian Doll (released on January 11th)will be the first single from it:

Lucky Soul - White Russian Doll by Ruffa Lane

October is here which means its time for Artful. Now in its fifth year we have been involved with Artful all through the Earwax Radio days and now with Propaganda.

But what is Artful?

Artful is a friendly celebration in a collection of cool music/art places. High quality fresh entertainment, DIY chic and exciting ambition - with some events creating more while they are happening. Basically a good excuse to play, party and make new friends, for a whole month - unique celebration of unity in diversity.

You can find out all about Artful 09 by listening to Propaganda and also by reading the Artful fanzine below.

10th September Playlist - 7 Inches Of Fun

Last weeks Propaganda show on Xstream East Radio was a bit of a nolstagia-fest, the idea for this special show was that we would randomly pull records from a record box and would play whatever record that was selected, we like to think of it an old school shuffle.

3rd September Playlist (Cover Version Special)

We like a good cover on Propaganda a chance for a band to get out of their comfort zone and deliver something different form their usual material. Recently the art of the cover version has taken a bit of a knocking, with everybody supposed to have one for their promotional push and for that I blame Jo Whiley. But there are still some good ones out there and we asked the listeners for some selections and together we compiled the playlist for last nights show:

You’ve Got the Love – Florence & The Machine
Careless Whisper – The Gossip
I Heard It Through The Grapevine – The Slits
Hot Like Fire – The XX (Aaliyah Cover)
Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa – Hot Chip & Peter Gabriel

Catch – Art Brut
Superstar – Sonic Youth
Umbrella – Manic Street Preachers

We Endorse Kids Love Lies

Last year we teamed up with Doug at the now defunct Strange Loop Studios to create a website called My Live Session, the idea was that we would present our radio show "earwax" as a live webcast and we would feature a band playing a 30 minute set. They were great fun why they lasted and the first band we featured were South Londoner's Kids Love Lies, a band whom we featured more on the earwax podcast in 2008then any other. On Earwax we played tracks from their demo and also their self released single Switch Off.

Since that session last October the band have gone from strength to releasing the single Count In My Head, gaining exposure in the NME, picking up airplay and being chosento be on the bill at Radio One's Big Weekend. Their second single for Cherryade records is being released this October and to accompany it, they have made this rather fun horror inspired video:

Delighted Of Tonbridge Wells

On Sunday, we travelled to deepest darkest Kent to a venue just outside Tonbridge Wells called the High Rocks to see British Sea Power and Tom Williams and the Boat. It was all-dayer which started at around 1pm; being lazy we managed to get to the venue about six and a half hours later. The venue is a converted Tudor barn which is used more these days for holding wedding functions hence the bar staff wearing tuxedos which is always a nice touch.

At Propaganda we are big fans of Tom Williams & The Boat and this was our first chance to see them live. Describing themselves as anti-folk their sound is bigger than that, the six piece comprise of guitars, violins, harmonica, piano and saxophone and Chris T-T played on piano on their last single 90mph. Their set was a very enjoyable 30 minutes; we recommend that you check them out:

Then we had to all vacate the building into another bar whilst the venue was shut for British Sea Power to create their unique stage set, in reality this was just so they could have a soundcheck. Because I don’t think it would have taken an hour to stick the few bits of foliage around the stage. The venue was re-opened before the soundcheck was finished and we had half an hour of the band finishing their soundcheck. There is nothing more boring than watching soundchecks I’ve seen to many over the years.

When they eventually started they delivered a storming set, it’s the first time I’ve ever seen them live and I’ve got into the band pretty late after not really liking the first album but live the early tracks seem almost primal and the later tracks like Waving Flags and No Lucifer sounded massive surely written with stadiums in mind. Even the snare drum falling apart couldn’t bring a halt to the gig which finished with an impressive climbing display.

On the way home we managed to just miss a badger on the road which seemed a very British Sea Power thing to see.
