Turn to face the strange...: podcast #5

(photo by two years of travelling)

...Ch-ch-changes ahoy. As I sit here with a KitKat I wonder how to start. From today, You Can Call Me Betty is going podcast-only, so no longer will I be continuing with posting mp3s etc. I've come to the conclusion that actually I don't really have time to do this as well as I'd like, evidenced by the sparse posting patterns of the last few weeks. I have other things which occupy my time, so I'll be concentrating on writing reviews at NoRipcord and Don't Worry About The Government (when Tom pulls his finger out), and creating a better breed of podsafe, new-music-tastic podcasts for your listening enjoyment. You will find the podcasts posted here and, for a while at least, at yccmb.blogspot.com
I've very much enjoyed writing though, and hope to invest as much into the podcasts as I have into the blog, not least of which is some stonkingly ace music, as always. You should be able to tell that by the tracklisting below, so have a listen, then see ya later alligator.

So: blame work, blame having a life and stuff, but as you know it, this is the end of You Can Call Me Betty.

Ta ta!

Festivale de Football: Podcast

Wandering blissfully through the day in a haze of maximum strength Lemsips, about six weeks later than I'd hoped, I'm proud to present the second You Can Call Me Betty podcast, this time featuring music from around the world, specifically those in the World Cup, even more specifically electronic music from those countries, as that's what's floating my boat at this particular time.

I'm also taking this opportunity to recap the series, and give you a list of links, should you be so inclined as to wish to go back and find them. You'll find this post up on the sidebar soon, as a convenient reference. Don't say I never do anything for you.

So without further ado: the podcast.
