Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 11th May: from around midday on Friday you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch365

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud Go tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which will be invisible to everyone. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 365

The Lilac Line

King's Daughters Home For Incurables

I discovered this track by Karla Kane and the amazing Corner Laughers in the most unlikely way...it was playing over the PA at a supermarket in Viterbo, Italy!
Anyway...I was instantly hooked, and thought the only thing this song missed was a guitar solo, so I recorded one and while I was at it added a couple more little sonic accoutrements.
If you're into retro sounds and catchy vocal harmony-laden tunes, check out the Corner Laughers' music, you'll love them!

The Corner Laughers - The Commonest Manifesto (Lorxst Mix)

Song For A Writer

Performed by Alarm Will Sound at the 2012 Mizzou New Music Summer Festival 
Missouri Theatre Centre for the Arts, Columbia Missouri

The Einstein Slide (2012)
Addendum to Collective Uncommon: Seven Orchestral Studies on Medical Oddities (2010)

The Einstein Slide is a short chamber concerto inspired by a medical slide of Albert Einstein's brain on display at the Mütter museum, a medical oddities museum in Philadelphia. 
	Lucy Rorke-Adams, the neuropathologist who donated the slides to the museum, has found that Einstein's brain is remarkably youthful for a man aged 76. "The blood vessels are gorgeous", she says. To reflect this, the music is ever inspired and brilliant, undergoing constant shifts and a childlike exploration of material. Scientists have found that Einstein's brain was lacking a complete Sylvian fissure, a type of wall separating the parts of the brain responsible for mathematical ability, spatial reasoning and three-dimensional visualization. Some argue that the synergy of these diverse segments in Einstein's brain allowed him to think differently. The Einstein Slide evokes this, musically, by way of constant shifting between sections. 
	There is also the "musical equation" toward the middle of the score. This is a musical representation of the formula E=mc2 in the form of a puzzle canon. Overall, the key areas of the work are C and C-sharp, reflecting, in a musical way, the c squared notion of the famous equation.


VI. The Einstein Slide (Chamber Concerto)

The single depicts the fragility of romantic love as Keener’s smoldering vocals float around a slowly pulsing, retro groove.  It’s off the album, I Do Not Have to Be Good, due out May 22.

I Do Not Have to Be Good

Do You Love Me Lately

If you’re free to leave, it's easy to stay
But it's not always simple to do
Show off your weaknesses, misunderstand
& be the worst version of you

A leaf from a tree in the autumn will fall
Like a feather, floats to the floor
Be a new one next year, we grow strong over here 
So hold on, you’ll be back for more 

It’s never the end of the world
It just stops for a minute while you unfurl 
It goes on without you, whatever you do
So, stand up for something, all the way through

Take a leaf from my story
Don’t disappear ‘til its time
I used to be sad, and then I forgot
I remember who’s on my side

They say that you’re larger than life
So, you live like maybe it’s true
But don’t take it from me, wait & you’ll see
Life is much larger than you

It’s never the end of the world
It just stops for a minute while you unfurl 
It goes on without you, whatever you do
So, stand up for something, all the way through

Never The End Of The World

SATURDAY NIGHT LOCKDOWN

"The Corner Laughers are a Californian band who come across like a West Coast Belle and Sebastian. Their indie pop is sassy and smart, intelligent and intricate, twee with bite." -- Paul Lester, The Guardian UK

Snuggly, sassy, spacey pop music. Female vocals, heavenly boy-girl harmonies, sparkly ukulele, jangly guitar and a rhythm section of the gods.

The  band  is  led  by  singer/uke player  Karla  Kane,  with  bassist  Khoi  Huynh,  drummer  Charlie  Crabtree,  and  guitarist  KC  Bowman.  Their  sound  defies  pigeonholes  but  has  been  compared  to  Kirsty  MacColl,  XTC,  Belle  and Sebastian,  and  Allo  Darlin’. With  three  full  length  releases under  their  belt,  called  a  “nigh-­‐on-­‐perfect  fusion  of  bubblegum -­‐sweet  tunefulness  and  clever,  subtly  barbed  lyrics”  (Icon  Magazine)  and  “simply  wonderful”  (PopMatters),  The  Corner  Laughers  have  received  international  radio airplay  and  reviews;  had  several songs  in  national  retail  campaigns;  toured  the  UK/Europe;  and  performed  with  artists  including  Mike  Viola,  Three  Minute  Tease,  Adam  Schlesinger  (Fountains  of  Wayne),  and Martin  Newell.
