Paddy-Whacked Radio has been broadcasting on WQFS in Greensboro NC for a few years now, with the two-hour downloads available at http://pwradio.net/fm or on iTunes. I’ve decided to carve out 45 minute to one hour segments of the shows to post here. Some, like this one, will be edited while others will be lumped in… warts and all.

This episode starts off with some high energy Irish independent music, melding into more traditional sounds.  At the end I have left in the new music segment of this show.

Please leave your comments!  We’d love to know what you’re thinking.

Below is the play list for this podcast.  The full show is available here.

Enjoy!

Hi all,

Sorry for the wait on this one. I was respectfully awaiting approval from the Bellies. I just got word from their US management, and so here it is!

Paul Noonan and David Geraghty of Bell X1 were very kind in stopping by the campus of Guilford College in Greensboro North Carolina on their way from Raleigh NC to Atlanta GA (I think) to chat with Paddy-Whacked Radioâ„¢ on WQFS in Greensboro.

I hope you enjoy this!

Please know that the fidelity of the recording is limited to studio equipment (it’s college radio, eh?). Also, please forgive the squeaky door during the final live song. Someone decided it was a good idea to walk in and out of the studio at that particular time. (grumble grumble).

Thanks,

Shawn

Episode 8: Live from Paddy-Whacked Radi Boston!! Ise, Fred, Jenna Nicholls, Kiernan McMullan, Stephen Hill, Paddy Saul and Damien Leibert, The Burning Shades, and a spotlight on The Waterboys!

One of the great joys of my radio show was the stream of live musicians who came through and played. The show is over, at least as it existed on WMFO, but I thought it would be fun to put some of the live performances into a podcast. And here it is.

My final show on WMFO featured a visit from the legendary band, The Waterboys!! In this episode, among other things, you’ll hear all three songs that they played live, as well as a segment of the interview with singer Mike Scott.

Don’t forget to visit http://myspace.com/pwradio . if you are a myspace member, become a friend and subscribe to the blog to keep current on the show and the podcast. If you’re not, you can still look through and find links to many Irish Indie artists and music resources.

I plan on bringing the FM radio show back to life in January, after my family and I are settled in our new home in North Carolina. With luck the station I hope to get a spot at may be on line by then. If you’re interested, you’ll be able to follow the progress on this this through the Myspace blog.

Thanks again for listening! Leave iTunes Comments!

The Tycho Brahe, Michael Brunnock, Bickley O’Farrell, Pier Nineteen, The Mary Janes, The Vals, The Frames, Garrett Wall. Paddy-Whacked Radioâ„¢ Episode 7, The Return of the Thing!

After months off (off? HA!) we’re back with a bunch of shtuff that sounds good. You’ll hear music that’s famous, out of print, unreleased, unknown, easy to pick up in a record shop, new and difficult to find anywhere else. Not necessarily in that order.

Here’s the roster:

The Tycho Brahe
Michael Brunnock
Bickley O’Farrell
The Mary Janes
Pier Nineteen
The Vals
The Frames
Garrett Wall

Episode 8 is in the works and hopefully coming soon, with luck. I have a baby due in a short while, so we’ll see how much time I have to get it together. It will feature all live performances, mostly recorded on or by Paddy-Whacked Radio! The Waterboys will be featured, including an interview with singer, Mike Scott.

Don’t forget to check out http://myspace.com/pwradio for details about the podcast and my weekly radio show, Paddy-Whacked Radioâ„¢ Boston!

Episode 6: The Monsters of Irish Indie Rock (Rock, rock, rock...) [ 37:34 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (16718)

Hey all, thanks for stopping by! Episode 6 of Paddy-Whacked Radioâ„¢ Podcast is now out for your listening pleasure. This one is titled “The Monsters or Irish Indie Rock (roar)!”, and focuses on some better known acts.

It also contains an interview with Irish Indie music “Led-jond Head” (thanks Danni), Mundy!

Oh, and as a side note: All that bigness and effect laden voice, animal noises and all that… I don’t take it seriously! Really, it’s all a big poke.

One more item of interest: Loads happening in mine and my family’s life. Loads of good things. The only problem is that I have almost no time to work on podcasts or radio shows. Please bare with me. Hopefully when everything is settled down, I’ll begin getting this thing out at least monthly again. It may, however, be up to 6 months before the next podcast comes out. It may be sooner.

Subscribing to my Myspace blog would be the best way to keep tabs on this.

Ok, now down to the meat and spuds.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• Lisa Hannigan with the amazing rendition of the Mary Janes Queen of Hearts, sung in Irish Gaelic. Banríon mo Chroí appears on the Ceol ’06 CD, proceeds of which go to the charity Project Concern.
• The Frames with Perfect Opening Line off of their some-day-to-be classic studio recording, Dance the Devil.
• Kíla with The Four Ages of Man off their 1991 release, Handle’s Fantasy.
• Bell X1 with Still Selling Shoes, a B Side from the Bigger than Me single.
• Interference with the song Gold off of the Live in Dingle, Songs From a Room disc.
• Mundy with a clip from the song Drive, off of the CD 24 Star Hotel, an interview and Gin and Tonic Sky from the live CD, Live & Confusion.
• The Mary Janes with something that’s going to sound familiar, if you’re paying attention.

Ok, remember to please keep in touch! You can use http://myspace.com/pwradio , or shawn@pwradio.net.

Keep well and keep your ears open!

Keep your eyes on the blog, and I’ll keep you posted.

All the best,
