In this latest installment of Bitter Fingers Radio, Mark Higgins presents a delightful collection of indie-pop, electro and just plain great songs. Boy’s latest LP “Mutual Friends” is the Featured Album, Curiosity Killed The Cat are offered up as an Innocent Pleasure, Lauryn Hill gets told to pull her finger out, there’s another antipodean choice from Tim Dickinson and a fairly Epic Last Song to see the show away. Get nice.
In a special end of year show, Mark Higgins brings you his very favourite songs from 2011 in a Bitter Fingers Quite Good Songs Of The Year special.
In volume seventeen, antipodean correspondent Tim Dickinson offers a brand new tune from Oz in A Song From Down Under, there’s tracks from M83ís imminent release Hurry Up Weíre Dreaming in New Best Album Ever, and Ladyhawke gets shouted at to Hurry Up And Make Another Album. There’s also a particularly amazing slice of J-Pop in Innocent Pleasures alongside brand new tunes from the likes of Swimming, Blood Orange and Teenage Bad Girl and a beautiful Epic Last Song from Spoon. Lovely stuff.
In Bitter Fingers, Mark Higgins plays out some of the very finest new tracks from emerging and established indie-pop, alternative and synth-led artists, crossing genres with scant regard for the consequences.
Bitter Fingers returns to the Wilton Way Café with a very special Mercury Prize show for London Fields Radio. Tracks from each of the nominated albums are discussed, with their chances of winning and relatives merits discussed, plus bacon is involved. Bacon is always involved.
On this week’s show of new indie and electro-pop finds, presenter Mark Higgins is joined by Tom Williams, bandleader of Tom Williams and the Boat. They look at Williams’ brand new album, ‘Too Slow’, and Tom selects a few special songs for the show. Of course, there’s also another tune from down under courtesy of Tim Dickinson, and some of the very finest new indie tunes around.
