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.

The one with harmonies and chips: This month, Lynn and Mark take a look at Brian’s mixtape of covers ‘Imitation and Flattery’ and welcome For Folk’s Sake Reviews Editor Ian Parker for a chat about the best releases of recent weeks.

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.

Together they get into her Innocent Pleasure, tell Ani DiFranco to Hurry Up And Make Another Album and finish the show with possibly the most epic Epic Last Song ever. There’s also a special 7″, Tim Dickinson serves up another Song From Down Under and all the new music you can ram into a radio show.
