Sinko Music Podcast Episodes - | 68: 2:42 | Play in Popup. | In article for The Morning News, Joshua Allen did a little "research" to determine that 2 minutes and 42 seconds is the ideal song length.

Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - Criminal Piece4. Weezer - American Gigolo5. Sahara Hotnights - Hot Night CrashLeave a comment or browse the podcast archives at sinko.kieranchapman.net |

| 64: Superchunk | Play in Popup. | I think I'm definitely in the minority for preferring Superchunk's later material to their earlier, punkier stuff. No matter -- here are five great songs from the pride of Chapel Hill.1. Slack Motherfucker2. Ribbon3. Yeah, It's Beautiful Here Too4. Her Royal Fisticuffs5. European MedicineLeave a comment or browse the podcast archives at sinko.kieranchapman.net |

| 63: Dub | Play in Popup. | Dub evolved out of reggae and is mainly instrumental remixes with additional echo and reverb effects. I don't know why I got so into dub -- maybe because it's kid-friendly music for around the house and easy to work to since they're instrumentals -- but I listened to an awful lot of it last year.1. Sly & The Revolutionaries - Acapulco Gold 2. Prince Jammy - Shaolin Temple3. Bob Marley - One Dub4. Soul Syndicate - This Is The Greatest Version 5. King Tubby - Dub MagnificentLeave a comment or browse the podcast archives at sinko.kieranchapman.net |

| 60: Moving | Play in Popup. | One of the things I dislike most in my life is moving -- I don't like packing, moving or unpacking. I don't like moving myself or helping others move anymore. So I guess it's somewhat odd that I chose this as a topic...1. The Kinks - I Gotta Move2. Wire - Start To Move3. Beastie Boys - The Move4. The Jam - I've Changed My Address5. The Smiths - Back To The Old HousePhoto credit: curoninjaLeave a comment or browse the podcast archives at sinko.kieranchapman.net |

| 59: Sklash | Play in Popup. | This episode features The Clash's reggae influences, including their covers of Junior Murvin's "Police & Thieves" and Coxsone Dodd's "Armagideon Time". (And yes, I realize that The Clash was influenced by reggae and not specifically ska, but it made for a better title since 35% of all ska bands begin with "Sk-"...)1. (White Man) in Hammersmith Palais2. Police & Thieves3. The Guns of Brixton4. Armagideon Time5. Revolution RockLeave a comment or browse the podcast archives at sinko.kieranchapman.net |

| 54: Rap Influences | Play in Popup. | For this episode, I selected some songs that had a large impact on the formation of rap music. From Kraftwerk's influence on electro and funk, Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" (which spawned almost as many DJ's as the Beatles' Ed Sullivan appearance spawned bands), Art Of Noise's sampling, and of course often-sampled beats like "Funky Drummer" and "The Big Beat". 1. Kraftwerk - Trans-Europe Express2. Herbie Hancock - Rockit3. Art Of Noise - Beat Box4. James Brown - Funky Drummer5. Billy Squire - The Big BeatLeave a comment or browse the podcast archives at sinko.kieranchapman.net |

| 52: Guitar Hero Wish List | Play in Popup. | I recently got Guitar Hero for my birthday, and I'm totally hooked (as a combined music nerd/video game geek should be). I'd have a hard time picking songs I would want to be in the game, but here are five by bands that (I think) have not made it into any of the various versions of GH. 1. The Ventures - Slaughter On Tenth Avenue2. Bad Brains - I Against I3. Samiam - Viewpoint4. Quicksand - Unfulfilled5. Man or Astro-man? - Interstellar HardriveLeave a comment or browse the podcast archives at sinko.kieranchapman.net |

| 47: Shoegazy | Play in Popup. | I realize that "shoegazer" as a genre isn't really an accurate description, or even a flattering one...but what else can I call this set of songs? "Shoegazy"? Well, I guess I did... Whatever you want to label them, these bands share the swirling effects-driven guitars and ethereal vocals usually associated with shoegazers. 1. My Bloody Valentine - Only Shallow2. Lush - De-Luxe3. Ride - Vapour Trail4. Luminous Orange - How High5. Asobi Seksu - Nefi + GirlyLeave a comment or browse the podcast archives at sinko.kieranchapman.net |
