We'll be back on Sunday...

It's taking awhile to recover from the Holidays, but rest assured, there's a new episode on it's way!

Episode 44: It's Late

We're getting ever so close to the end: the end of the month, end of the year, end of the decade. But hopefully not at the end of your patience. Here it is, Episode 44, plump with sonorous delights. Plus, you know all those things you were thinking about lately? Yeah, we've thought about them too. Except we have microphones. And opinions. And delusions of greatness.

Playlist:

Arctic Monkeys - Fluorescent Adolescent
Blind Melon - Soup

Fleetwood Mac - Dreams

Hold on...

We here at the Awkward Silences Radio Show are committed to the highest in podcasting quality. Too much corporate-speak? Hmm, well, we've had a slight issue with the internet, so Episode 44 will appear tomorrow. In the mean time, why not check out an episode you missed?

Episode 42: Better with Age

Remembrance Day, the fall of the Berlin Wall, a recent Royal visit and forty years of Sesame Street: yes, we can find a link between the four. Gloomy November has a knack for casting our focus on old things, anniversaries and institutions. So enjoy this week's episode, as we dust off the old memory album (and play a variety of unconnected, modern music, just because we can).
