<b>Too much great music, too little airtime...</b>
This week we decided to raise the bar a little and reduce the number of tracks presented on our Fresh On The Net listening post, to make choosing a little easier for our readers. But here are another 14 tracks submitted this week - in a variety of styles - that also tickled my fancy, even though we didn't have room to include them in the final 26.

I'd particularly draw your attention to the fine gumbo groove behind Randolph Swain's swampy imprecations, the liquid solo piano Interlude by Eduards Ozolins and Bo Walton's deliciously authentic rock'n'roots stylings. Hopefully there'll be something tasty here for everyone... Tuck into this selection box, folks, and see what takes your fancy !

My Life

Something - Music and lyrics by Kirby Howarth

Musical arrangement by Mark Cottrell.

Something

I Don't Know

The World it Keeps on Turning

Something

Something in her voice  
touched me like a beautiful song
Something in her eyes 
Left me burning burning like fire

  And in my heart through the flames
I see my love never change 
In my heart through the flames
I know my love will remain 
With you  

Something in her lips  
A kiss like strawberry wine
Something in her touch
 Left me burning burning like fire

And in my heart through the flames
I see my love never change
 In my heart through the flames
I know my love will remain 
With you

Take my hand
And we’ll run through the fields
Planning our life together
Take my hand 
And we’ll run through those fields
Contemplating loving forever 

And in my heart through the flames
I see my love never change
 In my heart through the flames
I know my love will remain 
With you

'Time it Was' which has lots of words... that's what comes from a wordy kind of guy.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Time it was I had a vision
Time it was I knew her face
Time it was, oh
What a time to chase
Looking back on what I had
Looking back on what I missed
Looking back well
It never seemed that bad
So many things I should have done
So many things I should have said
So many things
Just little things inside my head
So where where did my dreams go
and where where did my life go
and where where do I go
Where do I go from here
Well, your dreams run around inside your head
Like a million roads that never end
They curve they turn into many ways
And mould your life to the present day
They’ll never die they’ll never stray
You know it’s always meant to be this way
Well you’ve got so much in your life
Beautiful kids and a loving wife
They’ll drive you nuts from time to time
But you’ll get what you give along the line
you don’t wanna lose, there’s so much to gain
Cause you know their always there to keep you sane
I had a dream that led me away
from the dirty streets where I used play
Burnt out lives and burnt out cars
high as a kite and ride in the park
But it might seem good but I know better
I got the proof in a certified letter
It’ll screw you up, and screw you sideways
Chase you round and drive you crazy
It’ll kiss you on the arm then slap you in the face
and drag you down to the darkest place
But if you get lucky you might find the door
That opens your mind to so much more
Time it was I had a vision
Time it was I knew that place
Time it was
Oh what a time it was
So where, where do your dreams go
Where, where does your life go
And where, where do you go
Only you know

Time it Was

MOUSE DEER - I Can't Do Anything Else

Just Another Place


Just a little truth
Just a little reason
Just a little lie
That sent me to prison

Just a little heart
Just a little soul
Just a human being
That I didn't know

Just another time
Just another place
I thought you were my friend
But now I see your face

Just Another Place

Randolph is watching a telecast video on his Ipod 253s whilst passing the twin stars of Pollux at twice the speed of Dark. Unfortunately he is pulled over by a Geminium Ranger Patrol. They seem unconcerned about the devilish speed but inquisitive about Randolph's choice of Music. Communications officer, Roc Petrona warns Randolph via his implanted Audi-listener that summary executions have been reported by the Geminiums' for travellers who have the wrong 'Taste' in Music. What should Randolph say ....'Am I Rock' or 'Am I Soul'.

AM I SOUL ?

“On Ponzi Bridge” is an unusual blend of the catchy and the strange that delivers a wry commentary on 21st Century Western culture and society in crisis.

Whether it is squelchy analogue bass lines or beautiful cascading strings, school orchestra style off pitch oddness or darkly beautiful melodies, “On Ponzi Bridge” explores our current predicament of recession, cuts and the collapse of old certainties by drawing on a wide range of musical influences and cultural reference points.

Treading the line between the epochal and the domestic “On Ponzi Bridge” serves up themes and narratives that are both human and universal. Inspired by such diverse musical sources as the Americana scores of Aaron Copland and the music of The Residents, to name but two, this album further develops a previous emphasis on the eclectic whilst delivering what is possibly his most cohesive collection of tracks to-date.

"In the years I’ve been tracking the progress of York singer songwriter Kirby Howarth it’s been fascinating to hear him refining his approach and zeroing in on the sound he’s been hearing inside his head all these years.
As a result, his songs grow ever more focussed and appealing"
