Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (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 4th September, 2023: from Friday afternoon 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/batch499

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 cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

Little Tom - Radio Edit

Alec Clegg was Chief Education Officer for the West Riding of Yorkshire from 1945 to 1974. He believed in a liberal arts based education for all and held that such an approach stimulated better outcomes generally. Anyone going to a West Riding school would be encouraged to paint, draw, dance, sing, or learn a foreign language simply because it was the right thing to do. 

No-one today has ever heard of him. 

No child today escapes the grim “if-you-fail-maths-you-will-die” austerity of national curricula, academy chains and ofsted inspectors with bad hair and no dress sense.

This tune, whose first line is taken from an Ian McMillan article about Clegg, is a nostalgic howl for something better for our children.

Bonjour!
Some exciting news from the Cafe Le Wooltone.
Today I release a song from my upcoming solo album ‘Blues, Beats and Brel' - it’s called ‘She's A Mean’ and features a live stripped back acoustic performance with merely a hint of piano (and handclaps). And production by Fran Ashcroft. 
The album splits into three styles (hence the title) based on a 'diet of old blues records, beat poetry and Jacques Brel accordion sandwiches'.
De toute facon this one fits more into the ‘Blues' scheme of things.
Salut!
Rob

Indifferentmonkey (The Story so far)

From a love of making music is indifferentMonKeY. Based in Morecambe, Lancashire the band only started releasing in Sept 2021. Since then so much has happened! The band are influenced by an eclectic mix of Trip Hop, Heavy Rock, Funk, Jazz, Electronic and Pop.  "Trip Hop Rock" kind of says it.

With now five very recent singles out, (started releasing only in Sept 2021) the band have had an amazing start to 2022 after being played numerous times on BBC introducing and getting play listed by the iconic KCRW in LA. 

The single "Naked White Noise" has been chosen to be on the new VR game "Billy Talent's Notebook" due out in early 2022.
“Cokehead” has been short listed for a major Hollywood movie, a Netflix Series and an American TV drama.
“Naked White Noise” has also been shortlisted for a major Hollywood Movie.
"Human Diamond" is to be included in a global podcast called Women of Substance" (with over 10 000 live listeners) at the end of the year.


We have an "Exclusive" feature on https://starrymag.com in America, and feature in Jammerzine in New York, and done a few radio interviews (STL Hits also in America). We have also done numerous interviews on British radio stations and are currently followed, played daily by at least 40 independent radio stations as well as achieving airplay on BBC introducing and KCRW national in America.

Exciting things:

Our single "Cokehead" has bwen shortlisted for both a major Hollywood Movie and a New Netflix Series coming out later in the year. Our single "Human diamond has been also shortlisted for the same Hollywood movie. Our single "Naked White Noise" will appear on the new "Billy Talent Playbook" VR game (as well again as Human diamond on a later update to the game they have told us).
