TPC: Ewan Spence's Rock Show

The Friday Rock Show, April 6th

Ewan Spence — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 22:43:34 +0000

Oh it’s been a rough week, but back in the studio chair, and time to bring you all another five wonderful pieces of music. Again culled from my “look who I heard at SXSW” pile, settle back and enjoy some Rock for the holiday weekend here in the UK.

The Friday Rock Show, 23rd March

Ewan Spence — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 15:08:00 +0000

Back from SXSW, with a stack of music a mile high (or whatever the modern cliché is for a lot of ripped CD’s and MP3 files to go through). Anyway, it might have an Austin tinge to it, but we’re still going to cover the 3 U’s of Rock – unknown, unmistakeable, and unforgettable.

The Friday Rock Show, 24th February

Ewan Spence — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 13:00:00 +0000

A week off after the Decades Show on the 10th, but in my defence we have a new cat in the Rock household, and me going all Tommy Vance would not have helped Charlie settle in. So a breather was called for.

But that’s over now, batteries are recharged, and the run up to South by Southwest is pretty much starting now.

The Friday Rock Show, 10th February

I still watch the filenames (someone has to) so I know that it’s time for another “decades” show. Every ten shows I look back to find the artists that I really enjoyed, and bring them back for an encore. It’s the 220th Friday Rock Show, so it’s time to welcome back to the stage (plus one new name to the show)…

Coughs and sneezes out of the way, and on with the show. A great selection tonight, with bands from the archives that lived on Geocities, bands still kicking it after si years, ones to watch out for at SXSW, and one sneaky AOR from ESC.

On with the show, and as SXSW draws closer I’ll be highlighting a few acts who I’ll be looking to catch up with when I reach Austin. That’s alongside another mix of great music from around the internet in this week’s Rock Show.

Okay it’s Monday, I did fall victim to the 13th day of the month landing on a Friday. Still got you some music, though!

The Friday Rock Show, January 6th

Ewan Spence — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 02:16:00 +0000

The new year is here, and looking ahead it’s going to be a great year for music – first up in the big diary is of course SXSW Music in March, but there’s lots of music to listen to leading up to the jaunt to Austin and beyond! For now, a more gentle, dare I say prog-gish, Rock Show.

The End of the Year Rock Show for 2011

Ewan Spence — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 08:29:25 +0000

One last slice of Rock before we start 2012, and it’s a chance to look back over the last twelve months an pick out some of the songs that have really stuck with me since January. So think of this as a look back at the songs that helped shaped some moments in The Rock Show.

As the holidays start, there’s time for one more Rock Show, and it’s our Annual Rocktacular to celebrate the holidays with the best podsafe festive music. Running to almost an hour, it’s the perfect accompaniment to wrapping presents, settling in with an egg-nog, or getting ready for one last party.

Put simply, "it’s Chrriiissssmmaaaaaasssssssss!!!"
