Apologies for the absence of the podcast last month, we’ve no real excuse except for the fact that we were busy jetting around such foreign climbs as Spain (for Primavera), Denmark (for SPOT Festival) and….. Staffordshire (for home comforts and laundry services). For July then, we’ve made doubly sure that the selection of tracks more than make up for the lack of action in June. Kicking things off with ‘Baby Missiles’ from Philadelphia’s The War On Drugs, throughout the shows 40 minutes we touch upon the gorgeous dream pop of Still Corners, the ‘cocoa vibes’ of Gardens and Villa and the frankly bizarre Ben Butler and Mousepad. No stone is left unturned.

As the last dregs of winter wave sheepishly goodbye, we’ve been busy prepping yet another  round of fresh aural goodness to brighten up even the most miserable of days. A clusterfuck of sweetness awaits you as we dive straight in with a new cut from Micachu & The Shapes new album Chopped and Screwed - a collaboration between Micachu and the London Sinfonietta orchestra which drops via Rough Trade on March 21. No stranger to the pages of TLOBF, Kurt Vile makes his podcast debut with a brand new song lifted from the forthcoming Smoke Ring For My Halo LP. Sweet riffs to the max.

If it’s introspection you want, we have it in spades via the ever wonderful Timber Timbre and Dark Dark Dark. Need some hot fresh blog fodder? We’ve got it hot and ready courtesy of new producer Pional who dishes up a super sassy mix of last years Ariel Pink classic ‘Round and Round’. There’s more, of course. Just dive in and help yourself.

Apt that the shortest month of the year also sees the birth of our shortest ever podcast. Yes, we’ve decided to slim the whole thing down from a whopping 80 minutes to a more digestible 30 minute portion. A decision that wasn’t made lightly; how to condense a whole month of new music into a half hour selection? Nye on impossible my friends, but all the same – this is what we’ve come up with. From the strangely euphoric opening of Rainbow Arabia saddled up to Jeff The Brotherhood: melodically recalling Phil Spector-era Ramones with churning buzz saw guitars muddier than the banks of the Mississippi river. We’ve also got the first play of the brand new single by the The Head and The Heart; a band that puts a solid two fingers up to the MOR haters of the world and dives straight in with some unashamedly glorious dad rock vibes. There is literally something for everyone here. Enjoy.

A very warm welcome to the first TLOBF Podcast of 2011!

The countless end-of-year lists have started flooding in which nowadays is as much a sign of it being December as the Coca-Cola Santa Claus advert adorning our television screens. Yes, in the immortal words of Noddy Holder “it’s Chriiiiiiistmaaaas” and by (Jesus) Christ we’re going out with a bang.

We’ve lovingly compiled a bumper podcast featuring 26 of the finest songs 2010 has produced – from Beach House to Zola Jesus, we’ve crammed in the cream of the crop and then some. And, as if that’s not enough, we also take a brief look at the year ahead by previewing three bands that The Line Of Best Fit have nominated for the much renowned BBC Sound Of 2011 list.

It’s also (sadly) presenter Jen Long’s final show as she flees the podcast to start work at BBC Radio 1 as the new host of the Introducing show (Wales edition). We wish her all the very best of luck in what will surely be a hugely successful career in radio.

Now, on with the show…. Merry Christmas!

Well here we are, our second EVER podcast, and we think we’ve found out feet now. We’re getting comfy, the sofa has the impression of our bums, and we’re ready to roll. We’ve even talked our good friend Jen Long into presenting it for us (mainly because the rest of us can’t actually string a sentence together).

Anyway, we have the cream of the cream of the cream of musical greatness for you this month including, extra specially, a World Premier (imagine neon signs blinking here) of a track from the upcoming Korallreven remix album! Oh yes. We’ve also got Wichita’s latest pop sensation Best Coast, the wonderful dance-krautrock infusions of Blondes, the scuzzy skate-pop of Wavves and the more sensitive side of Yuck, in their new incarnation Yu(c)k. And that’s naming but a few. Enough waffle, just download.
