Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 19 March: from 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/batch277

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it is likely 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. You may resubmit the track in future.

I Think Our Loveseat Is Riddled With Woodworm…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3R5Zyt243Y

Hey look at us! We watched 18ths turn to 21sts
Engagements say it’s serious, then wedding videos
Hey look at us! We watched baby steps & baby firsts
40ths & 50ths & the next thing that you know
We like a Caribbean Cruise
But only with an ocean view
We’ve got a chimnea, a barbeque 
& a water feature statue
Garden decking duck egg blue
A Blue Motion VW
Golf – Special edition Oryx White
Off road parking, sitting safely in the drive
Of our leafy suburb, as we pour another wine 
& you say – ‘Hey! I think our loveseat is riddled with woodworm’…

Hey look at us! Parma ham with melon starter
No more crispy pancakes, anymore
Hey look at us! We splash Olive Oil on everything
That there Jamie Oliver’s got a lot to answer for
We drink Corona with a lime
Wear underwear by Calvin Klein
We like minimalist design
& a full rack of red wine
Coz it helps us to unwind
As we sit in our streamlined
Kitchen – by Colosseo Oro
Looking out on our botanical patio
As you turn to me, in the faint light of moonglow
& say – ‘Hey! I think our loveseat is riddled with woodworm’…

Well me, I’m still mourning Habitat
I’m like Justin Timberlake, only I’m bringing sweaty back
Desperately clinging to my youth, still a big Paul Weller fan
As I dance around the kitchen, listening to The Jam…

Hey look at us! We watched friendships lead to housewarmings
Weddings lead to Christenings, Godparents at the font
Hey look at us! Now we’re attending far more funerals
Than we really want, eating stale quiche & volauvents
I will not covet thy neighbour’s car
Sitting at my breakfast bar
Eating strawberry guava
Drinking Colombian Fedar
Watching Victoria Derbyshire
As you trot off for a Spa
Day – with the girls from the Golf Club
Leaving me to think of popping to the pub
But instead I sit alone in the hot-tub
& think - ‘You’re right, our loveseat is riddled with woodworm’…

Lyrics:

If you're not well, would you say something?
I promise to tell everyone nothing

Seasons to sleep
Secrets to keep
Penny a thought
Silence is cheap

If you believe the face of your doctor
How could you hide the truth from your daughter?

Seasons to sleep
Secrets to keep
She lies awake
Counting the sheep

Seasons To Sleep (Remix)

I went to a gig this week (this may or may not be anything to do with the track) but I saw Hell is for Heroes and Vex Red, playing songs over 15 years old from my alt rock youth.

Seeing heavy guitars, slightly poppy, catchy tracks, Cure covers, and noting that while the bands have aged, they all just look kinda the same, it reminded me just how much that kind of music was my jam from 1999-2010 ish.. to be fair, it never really left. But nostalgia is one thing, but seeing people just enjoy music was great and a thing I don't do enough (ugh, life eh?)

Anyway, I was half way through the track once I went to the gig. bonus points if you can tell where I shifted gear.

Enjoy, with headphones ideally because this is coming in hot!

LYRICS
Keep love in the dark 
Where only I fear it 
Holding it close 
So I can be near it 
Love is in the thought of me 
Searches for the heart of you 
A cat that chases shadows 
That’s all that it will ever do

Thinking of the moment 
Only I noticed 
Holding my attention 
I believed that you meant it 
Love is in the thought of me 
Never at the heart of you 
A cat that chases shadows 
Is all that I can ever do

Keep it in the dark 

Don’t want to go inside right now 
I watch the leaves as twilight falls 
I see a shooting star 
and know that things will change 

Keep it in the dark 

Don’t tell me the truth 
I don’t want to hear it 
So many ways to talk 
But distance makes us distant 
Everything is in the thought of me 
Everything is in the heart of you 
A cat that chases shadows 
Is all that we will ever do

London Town

Austerity's latest single Occupation continues their growing reputation for combining groovy funk-punk paired with uncompromising politics. 

The single is a no holds barred scream of rage against the injustices witnessed daily in Palestine. Today Israel operates an apartheid system of military occupation. Palestinians are systematically discriminated against and Israel continues to flout international law with no repercussions.

We support the boycott of Israeli goods and demand equal rights for Palestinians, an end to the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine and a peaceful and sensible resolution to the conflict.
