Recent musical discoveries

I’ve found some great musical stuff on the net recently.

First was [Dandelion Radio](http://www.dandelionradio.com/), which claims to be the “the internet radio station inspired by John Peel”, although I suspect there’s more than just the one that was inspired that way. Nonetheless it’s worth a listen, and introduced me to the the poptastic delights of the [Peeptoes](http://myspace.com/peeptoes) (listen to “Eat This”).

Then today, two more treats. [Dalston Oxfam Shop](http://www.dalstonoxfamshop.blogspot.com/) is a blog after my own heart, in which a music freak buys cheap weird cassettes and LPs from said charity store, digitally rips them, and posts tracks on his blog. Fantastic, eclectic, hilarious, and right up my street. I buy tapes from charity shops, all sorts of rubbish, because it’s cheap and fun and my car doesn’t have a CD player.

And the final little earful of joy comes from [Shadow Globe](http://www.shadowglobe.com/), which introduced me to three or four fantastic songs within half an hour’s listening, the best of which was “It will find you” by [Maps](http://www.myspace.com/mapsmusic).

    I’ll have to check those out. A podcast I enjoy is Scissorkick (www.scissorkick.com), which is mostly single tracks but with the occasional Scissorcast, a longer format compilation show. It’s mostly stuff I’ve never heard of, which is nice.
