Introduction:-

Due to Amazon being shit and not deliverin the said soundtrack CD that I had ordered I decided to go with Show 3 introduction instead. The only problem being is that we hadn’t explained it so the song is a tad random. It comes from a CD called “The Amateur Transplants� by a duo called “Fitness to Practice�. They are two doctors who are raising money for a good cause by selling their hailirious, although slightly wrong CD. You would have heard of them from “The London Underground� song. Check them out from the link below.

Song 1:- The Raconteurs – Level

“When initial reports seeped out that Jack White and Brendan Benson were recording an album together, there followed some considerable buzz, the pair themselves even declaring it “Detroit’s answer to Nevermind.�. Broken Boy Soldiers does not match Nevermind on impact or tunes. That said, it is a stellar record, full of brilliant moments.
Opener, and lead off single “Steady As She Goes� sets the tone for the rest of the record, as catchy as it is repetitive, and representative of the more upbeat pop of Benson than the dirty blues-rock of White. That said, the album does have a relatively diverse palette, with the atmospheric glam of “Broken Boy Soldier� colliding with summery strum of “Yellow Sun�. Elsewhere, “Call It A Day� is a moody rocker, vaguely menacing with its big chords and bleak lyrics (“I swear by this knife/ It’s all by your design�) offset by creamy 70s style harmonies.
“Level� is a fine example of the collaborative power of the duo, a White Stripes style rocker with jaunty keyboards and ace duelling guitars, it is a highlight of the record. That’s not to say that it’s all down to Benson and White, kudos must be given to bassist Jack Lawrence and drummer Patrick Keller who make a damn fine rhythm section, particularly on the more complex pieces like “Blue Veins�.
Overall, Broken Boy Soldiers is a good record. The Raconteurs could well become even better than White and Benson’s respective day jobs.�

Link One:-

After saying hi and talking a bit of crap Dave tells some stories of his recent adventures and how this led to him finally becoming a man. There is the weekend away in Wales which led to him leaving his shoes behind and thenthere was the trip to Thorpe Park. Yes indeed Dave is a big gay girly wuss when it comes to theme park rides….or should I be writing was a wuss?

Song 2:- 13^th Floor Elevators – I Had To Tell You

“Though 13th Floor Elevator are one of the most respected and influential bands of the psychedelic era, most people wouldn't know these Texan acid-rock weirdos if a clearly deranged Roky Erickson showed up on their doorstep wielding a chainsaw. This Australian release seeks to change all that, though it doesn't cover all the bases quite as thoroughly as other recent offerings.

A decent retrospective of the volatile group's short career, Psych-Out only tells part of the long and twisted tale that is leader Roky Erickson's life in music. "Roller Coaster" and "Reverberations" have been deep-fried in hellacious hot sauce, leaving only crispy remnants of what most people know as Southern rock. Near-hit "You're Gonna Miss Me" is here in all its splendiferous three-chord glory, and "Kingdom of Heaven" is anything but angelic, clattering around like an octogenarian who has lost his percodan and is angry as fuck to be missing Diagnosis Murder.

Perhaps if Shout Factory's recent Roky Erickson retrospective (I Have Always Been Here Before) hadn't been released, or there weren't already a myriad of collections/tribute albums glorifying these Texan garage mavens, this collection would be bloody essential. As it stands, though, Psych-Out only tells us what we already know: 13th Floor Elevators were ahead of their time, and deeply in need of a good bath and a psychologist.�

Last time we introduced the feature of getting letters in the Metro. Well in this rare example of us ever doing anything we set up in the first show Tyler taks about his attempts, and ultimately failures, of trying to get into the Metro! Think knife amnesty and cyclists-yes random. Dave launches the first COMPITAITION! Listen to find out more about how to enter and the great prizes!

Mr Jamie Carr our sports correspondent comes this time live via the phone from the World Marbles Championships. Okay its not the paraglideing that we promised but that is all explained. If proved popular Jamie will be a regular contributor to the show! Tune in next time to see if any of the other people that have been mentioned are involved.

For more information on the Marbles World cup and a whole load of Sport check the BBC.

Song 3:- A Camp – I Can Buy You

“A Camp is the sound of the Cardigans' Nina Persson getting back to her roots. When "Lovefool" catapulted the Cardigans into the major league courtesy of the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack, the ensuing global pop fame threatened to implode the band. They responded by turning into a snarling rock beast with Gran Turismo, but relations became further strained. In a period of rest and recuperation, Cardigans singer Nina Persson turned her nose up at that particular rock beast and went back to her bittersweet guitar beginnings. What A Camp isn't, though, is a retread of early Cardigans. It's a mature, reflective album with lush country overtones that resound with a strident melancholy. Not surprising, perhaps, when Sparklehorse leader Mark Linkous was at the production controls. Even with that influence behind her, A Camp is very much Persson's vehicle. It's the sound of a woman ditching the PVC trousers and blonde tresses for chic dresses and a black bob, leaving the small stuff behind and growing up. All told, it's an unexpectedly pleasing graduation, with honours.�

Link 3:-

This link is all about love…well to be perfectly honest its concerning the fallout of love. Tyler has decided that he wants to spread love through The ILP and launches his ideas as how to getting people together, mainly through Myspace. This week it is Jaded lovers!

Tyler then moves on to voice the pain of his friend Anna who was recently dumped by a fucker. I’m sure many people have been in this positiona dn can appreciate being dumped by assholes! Fucking men huh! Especially public school ones! Dann!

Song 4 – Rage Against The Machine – Wake Up

“Not since the days of the Clash and the MC5 has rock seen such political force as in the uncompromising debut from this American quartet. Expanding the hip-hop/metal style of bands such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage tap the spirits of vintage Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, coupled with hardcore punk intensity and Public Enemy-style grooves. "Bombtrack" opens the album with a shot of adrenaline and singer Zack de la Rocha's infuriated chorus of "Burn, burn, yes, you're gonna burn!" The intensity doesn't let up an inch on the militant "Killing In The Name" (with the inspiring chant, "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!"), the ultrafunky "Bullet In The Head," and the engrossing "Fistful Of Steel". Tom Morello combines time-honoured metal-guitar riffs with sounds that suggest a hip-hop scratcher over a rhythm section that simply takes no prisoners. Intelligent and aggressive, this is unimpeachably one of the best hard-rock records ever made.�
