!!EPISODE ONE IS IN THE CAN!!

And it turns out that we're much more talkative than we thought...

So, after some very ruthless editing, we'll have our first episode ready for you, replete with music from Kyla la Grange (myspace.com/kylalagrange), Tone & the Spartans (myspace.com/musictonyv) and Oliver Talkes (guess).

Also expect an awful lot of bullshit. Sorry - comedy gold. Expect that.

*Announced EXCLUSIVELY today*

Hollyoaks supports unsigned bands!

Well, thank Dickens. So hurry hurry, to the next link - which lets you sign up to be one of the lucky few...

Uh oh. The competition is already closed. You'll have to stick with The Silver Lining instead. Welcome sirs, and welcome again.

I can't quite believe my first post is about Hollyoaks. I've changed. (I haven't)

This Evenings Love

Love reaffirmed for Bill Frisell's Disfarmer and David's Scary Monsters (as if it needed to be). Teenage Wildlife is a great song - so is Peter Miller's Discovery (and Shutter, Dream). But I mustn't go on, partly because

the list would be too long...

...and partly because neither of these men will feature on Silver Lining Podcast anytime soon as they both have very secure, very lucrative record contracts.

But who knows what might happen in the second series.

Myth.

The Podcast is Coming

We've planned it and everything. With bullet points. Try not to soil yourself.

A taster: a planned regular feature on the show, 'Pet Peeves,' is to include such tiresome bugbears as walking into spiders webs, being confronted by militant mothers with prams, bad jam (bam), and horne & corden.

Just the sort of gold (bronze) you can come to expect (it'll be much better).

Hold your breath! (but don't die)
