Thoughts from a Bafta nominated Podcaster, Blogger, Writer and Commentator.
In this week’s podcast news: Nicola Barclay gets a surprise wild card in Azerbaijan, I think Belladonna should sing for Italy, Ukraine tweaks their National Final, and why Jedward really would be a bad idea for Ireland. With music from Nathalie Giannitrapani.

For the third year, it’s time for a holiday special from TPN Rock. Yes, here we go with the Christmas Rocktacular for 2009. Christmas music is a strange time for podcasters and music. We can’t officially play tracks like Fairytale of New York, and so much of Christmas music (certainly for me and my family) is based around feeling familiar, which provides an extra challenge when looking for new music. But hey, the last few weeks
With Belladonna, The Colourfield Theory, Violent Divine, Brandon S Hire, Black Lab and The Seat of the Pants Band.
I’m back in Scotland now, after an amazing three weeks, part of which included SXSW Music. Bouncing around the bars, clubs and stages of Austin has left (a) me with a stack of CD’s a mile high to listen to and (b) lots of great music to appear on TPN Rock over the next few weeks and months. So let’s get started with a SXSW Special Showcase? TPN Rock: The SXSW Music 2009 Special I Am Electric, by Angry vs The Bear (Angry vs The Bear on MySpace). Ones and Os, by Geoff Smith (www.thegeoffsmith.com). Green and Vinyl, by Ettie
