Logo for a radio show called Brand New Beats with Colm O'Rourke featuring a set of headphones
While #Colmonday rests up for a bit, my new show for Summer '24 on @noiseboxradio.bsky.social is Brand New Beats, where every week, I round up the best in new music - with perhaps the odd reissue!
Live on Mondays from 1st July from 2100 and 2200 BST (2000 and 2100 UTC) on #NoiseboxRadio
If you're tuning in for the last #Colmonday for now in around ten minutes, then your company on the @noiseboxradio.bsky.social Community Discord is most welcome.
discord.gg/B9TAdZ6e is your invite link.

Thirty minutes or so 'til #Colmonday counts down to its summer break, with new and not-so-new tracks, thematically-linked stuff... and a word about what's happening next Monday.
Live at 2100 BST/2000 UTC on @noiseboxradio.bsky.social

I can confirm that tonight is the last that you'll hear of #Colmonday for a while.
I'll still be on the radio on Monday nights, I'll still be live and I'll still be playing great music - find out more later.
#NoiseboxRadio
Half-an-hour until I'm live on @noiseboxradio.bsky.social with this week's instalment of #Colmonday

Tonight's #Colmonday could easily have been a nightmare for me - but it hasn't been.
I love live broadcasting, and the tech issues which I faced - and got back from - may happen, and probably will in future.
The main takeaway is, the show went on, and I loved it. #NoiseboxRadio
Let's hope this second hour is glitch-free...
#Colmonday #NoiseboxRadio
I'm aware that there's further technical issues with the NBR audio feed - they're being investigated right now.
I carry on regardless... #Colmonday #NoiseboxRadio
Apologies for falling off the air - gremlins in the system again.
Back again, and bringing the show back stronger than ever.
#Colmonday #NoiseboxRadio
Five minutes 'til #Colmonday live for another week on @noiseboxradio.bsky.social

My last one this #Colmonday is in Japanese - the English language version was played on Saturday's #FFSLive.
'Electric Lady Land' by the Fantastic Plastic Machine.
If you know, you know ;-)
'til next week, thanks for listening - please take care and stay safe x

Starting with the Virginia Wolves' version of 'Stay'.

Bookending Now Yearbook '93 is another general mixed bag of the year's pop tunes.
Of which I'm playing 'Stand above Me' by Orchestal Manoeuvres in the Dark.
#Colmonday #NoiseboxRadio
If CD1 is '93 pop and CD2 is '93 dance, CD3 is the '93 rock/indie disc of the set.
From it, 'From Despair to Where' by the Manic Street Preachers.
#Colmonday #NoiseboxRadio
Then, sound that Simple Minds/Arnold Schwarzenegger klaxon!
'Open Your Mind' by Usura features on Now Yearbook '93 CD2.
#Colmonday #NoiseboxRadio
Not another elec... oh, sorry, I mean Now Yearbook coming up for release!
1993 is the target this time around:
nowmusic.com/products/now...
From CD1, I'm playing 'The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight' by REM
#Colmonday #NoiseboxRadio
Last in the parade this week is Skye Edwards, vocalist with Morcheeba, and a song that takes me back to an early office job I had...
'Part of the Process' now on #Colmonday #NoiseboxRadio
Our second Birthday File track is in honour of the late, great Lisa 'Left-Eye' Lopes.
From her time in TLC, the excellent 'Unpretty'.
#Colmonday #NoiseboxRadio
Moving on to this week's Birthday File artists, and we have three female artists, all born on 27th May down the years.
Firstly, Siouxsie Sioux, and the song which brought her and the Banshees into the US Top 40 - 'Kiss them for Me'
#Colmonday #NoiseboxRadio
Finally of the male Grays, Conan Gray and 'Heather'.
#Colmonday #NoiseboxRadio
Then, Michael Gray and a true club classic from 2004.
...shit.
'The Weekend'
