Yikes! It’s been a while but here I am again with my good buddy The Twig from Twigcast (http://twigcast.podbean.com/) for an hour and a half (or so) of musical banter. We discuss Nick Cave, Elbow, Twig’s Top 20 Songs of Now, The Smashing Pumpkins’ latest work, The Evolution of Radiohead and The Revenge of the Top 5’s!

This is the pilot episode of Recommended Weekly Allowance in which I talk about C.S Lewis’ ‘The Cosmic Trilogy’ and my personal music history.
It’s 2 and a half hours (!!!!!!) long. Future podcasts will not be longer than an hour and I will probably just revisit the themes of this podcast at a later date to make up for this. I was trying to get the feel for the podcast genre and simply got carried away.
There is a LOT wrong here, but I learnt a lot in making this. For instance I didn’t name enough of the tracks that I was introducing. It also took hours to adjust the sound levels and it’s mixed far too loud and the microphone I was using was no where near the quality that I need for this. But hey, next week should be better!
I hope you find something to enjoy here anyway. Next week I’m gonna talk about The Future and what I think it will hold for the music industry! If you want to give me your two pence, write to me at vitamincast@gmail.com
