This podcast was supposed to have been posted at the beginning of May.
As you can tell, it’s late. Coachella has come and gone, been to way too many shows, and most importantly started a family. So my apologies for the tardiness, pregnant wife trumps podcast every time.
As the name implies, this podcast is all Guitar Bands. Since this is so late, you may have heard some of these tracks by now so I won’t go into detail about the artist and tracks. I still think it holds up even two months late. Saw two of the artists, Decemberists and Andrew Bird, at the Bowl last night. Andrew Bird was great live, and the Decemberists with the full LA Philharmonic was magical. This is the third time that I have seen the Phil play with a band, and they finally got it right.
With out further ado I present Guitar Fish:
1. “Lovely Allen” Holy Fuck
2. “Roscoe” (Beyond the Wizard Sleeve Remix) Midlake
3. “Mistaken for Strangers” The National
4. “Think About Me” Decemberists
5. “Sleep Tonight” Stars (Re-imagined by Junior Boys)
6. “Spring And By Summer Fall” Blonde Redhead
7. “Kid Gloves” Voxtrot
8. “Rough Gem” Islands
9. “Same Old Drag” The Apples In Stereo
10. Fiery Crash” Andrew Bird
11. “Candylion” Gruff Rhys
12. “Sit Tight” Field Music
13. “Knife” Grizzly Bear
I will be back next week with the dirty Electro mix, “Cerviche”
So be prepared to shake your ass.

Back to serve up another dish of the freshest selections. The first track is “Hot Day” by Lemongrass. It really reminds me of Bent before they went all House on their Intercept release.
Next is “Music” from Japanese leftfield master Cornelius.
Continuing in my favorite genre of the moment, electro-folk, is The Year Of “Ronnie Hawkins” off their release Slow Days.
This, as with a lot of my tracks, is import only, Amazon is your best bet to find them.
Next is the “It” producer of the moment, Mark Ronson, having just produced both the Lilly Allen and Amy Winehouse records, with a complete reworking of Smith’s classic “Stop Me….”
After remixing about everyone, 4Hero is back with his own artist album with this beautiful ode to sunrise “Morning Child”.
From last years Ladytron album, the track “Destroy Everything You Touch” is back with an amazing (Vector Lovers Edit).
The first of this volumes Dub fix comes from a very unlikely source, Luke Vibert, aka Wagon Christ with “Combination Reggae Dancing”. I like this track for it’s James Brown sample and bass line, but even more because it’s Wagon Christ doing a reggae track.
So I have confession to make, I love the Dub Pistols and love Dub Pistols more with Terry Hall of Fun Boy Three singing, so sue me for adding another track “Running From Thoughts” to this mix.
From what is one of the criminally underrated albums of last year, Cut Copy gives us “Future”. Buy this album now.
I finish this volume out with three tracks from the “New Rave” movement. I hate the sub-genre music naming bullshit but do like these tracks. First is UK producer Justice battles Simian with “Never Be Alone”.
Simian lost a couple of members and gained a much cooler name, Simian Mobile Disco who gives us “It’s the Beat”.
They are noisy, they are young, they sample the sounds of my misspent youth - they are the Klaxons with “It’s Not Over Yet”.
Actually is over, but check back in couple of weeks for Guitar Fish, your next course from the Captains Sample platter.
And finally the track listing form Captain’s Sampler Platter Vol. 1 “Daylight Saving Time”.
1. The Collectors Black Sand
2. Ratatat Wildcat
3. Dub Pistols Rapture
4. Just Jack Starz in Their Eyes
5. All Smiles The Velvetest Ballon
6. The Shins Sea Legs
7. Ms. John Soda A million Times
8. SIa Pictures
9.K-Os Sunday Morning
10. RJD2 You Never Had It
11. Aim Flight 602
12. Sebastien Tellier La Ritournelle

Ahoy mates,
Finally got off my butt and published my first podcast.
This first collection is a hommage to the late Radio One broadcast The Blue Room.
This with all of my Podcasts, will be stuff I like that hopefully you don’t know with a few exceptions. This first outing “Daylight Savings Time” is perfect for those really late nights and very early mornings. Will be posting more about the tracks and bands soon, but for now enjoy…
