Don't Stop Now

It's been a very productive week and this weekend I'm cherishing the brain space I've managed to free up by attending SecondFest. I'm typing this between sets from Slim Girl Fat and Tony Moore on Chillout Island. In case you have no idea what I'm talking about, I should add that all this is happening in Second Life. I'll be blogging more about my adventures in Second Life in the coming weeks. There's a already a lot I'd like to say but I don't have enough time to say it just yet.

This weekend I'm using some of my free time to bring you the 72nd edition in the Mużika Mod Ieħor series. Following last week's rerun of the special edition dedicated to Frans il-Budaj, this week's podcast features four brand new tracks, which are bound to be on the 2007 listeners' picks poll.

The Bubble is a new song from Ambulanza. As you may recall, this is one of Mario Cordina various projects from his base in Poland. Just in case you missed my earlier mention of Mario on MMI, check out the podcast I did all about his bands and other music projects last February. Ambulanza have a new album called The Drug and you can hear some of the tracks from this new recording on their two MySpace pages.

I'm very pleased to finally hear a recording from the new band Shilloo's Tree. They recently recorded a couple of original tracks and I've included Waiting for Your Smile of them on my podcast this week. If this is what they sound like on their debut recording we can expect more great tracks from this band in the coming months and years. I haven't seen them live but I have a feeling they're a good live band too.

Another new band from Malta is called Club Murder. This one fuses hardcore metal with hip-hop in a way that's quite unusual for a Maltese band. This evening they're playing a live gig at Poxx Bar with Eurythuria and Inner Link. It's undoubtedly a splendid evening for metal fans and you can sample it through my podcast with the song Preserved in Pain.

To close off this week's podcast I'm playing an instrumental track from ipconfig who I discovered on MySpace this week. The track is called Lag and other that there's another one from the same person on ipconfig's MySpace I know nothing else. This happens every now and then, and I must I've come to enjoy the sense of mystery that comes with such encounters.
