The Scratch Cast: The Alternative Music Podcast

It’s been ages since our last interview, but we’re back and it’s a banger. 

On Episode 07 we’re graced by the presence of the inimitable Becca Starr 
( @beccathebiznitch ) who somehow squeezed us into her busy schedule, just ahead of the launch of her new album Defixio (spoiler alert: Defixio is out now and it’s brilliant - go listen to it).

We start with an extended Q&A followed by an in-depth discussion on Defixio (did I mention it’s brilliant? - go listen to it). Also, we asked Becca to give us one of her favourite albums to listen to and discuss. Her choice? Portishead’s “Dummy” - a trip hop classic to round out the show (it's also brilliant - go listen to it too).

This is The Scratch Cast x Becca Starr, enjoy!

The intro music, which will be stuck in your head for days, is taken from "Parkinson", an old British television chat show presented by Michael Parkinson. Please don't sue us, Parky!

The Alternative Music Podcast

This episode should have come out in August 2023. We had planned to record it, but I got sick and it was postponed. Then, life got busy with staggers, weddings (both hosts included), and honeymoons.

It’s been over six months since our last episode - which is absolutely mental - but we’re finally back with loads of great new (ish) music to talk about!

On our singles swap we’re discussing: Post-punk Experiment #3 (A Bigger Splash) by experimental indie weirdos The Wife Guys of Reddit, and You Can Be Mean by American-Brazilian singer-songwriter Indigo De Souza.

Our album reviews for this episode are Doggerland, the third album from Glasgow’s musical wizard Rudi Zygadlo; the Black or White EP, the 18th record from Munich-based artist Cagri Raydemir; Standard Patter, the new album from Scottish rappers Fire Up The Sun; Restless Dreams, the latest EP from Livingston’s industrial electro-pop goths GRAVELLE; and finally, Nothing Clever, Just Feelings from Brighton-based, electro-punks CLT DRP.

Sit back, relax and listen to Episode 26: ”No Ali G Shit”.

Episode 26: “No Ali G Shit” - The Scratch Cast: The Alternative Music Podcast

<p>Two ordinary Scottish guys chatting mostly about the best in alternative music. Tune in for reviews, discussions, interviews and the odd bit of humour. Scotland’s finest alternative podcast.</p>
