New Noise: 14 July '11

Holidays are brilliant. Except for the fact that you usually find yourself with twice as much stuff to squeeze in before you finally get to sod off to wherever it is you’re going.

And so I find myself sat watching a slow upload bar edge across the screen at 2.04am Thursday night. I had planned to head off at around 8am Friday morning.

Before I go just a quick mention that I'm on BBC 6 Music next week – covering Tom Ravenscroft on two July Fridays: 22nd and 29th, more details about which can be heard in this podcast. I also wrote my first new New Noise Live column for Clash Magazine this week which should appear in the next issue, out soon.

No podcast next Thursday, so this is a bumper bonus holiday version. See you on the 28th with what should be a Field Day Special.
