:papercutz, Live

Producing solipsistic NATION is a labor of love and it keeps me out of mischief but it does eat up a lot of time. Last week's show featuring Meat Beat Manifesto's Jack Dangers, Bassweight dubstep documentary director Suridh Hassan, DJ Umb of Generation Bass and [tlr] of NVR-NDR took 21 hours to put together.

When I was freelancing from home producing shows like that we're easier to do. I could carve out a few hours day here and there to work on upcoming shows. But for the last 6 months I've been working onsite on jobs that demand my complete attention. I come home from work with just about enough energy to exercise, cook myself some dinner, maybe watch a little TV then it's off to bed. I pretty much only have the weekends to work on these shows.

As a consequence sometimes these shows go out late. I'm sure most of you don't mind since podcasts are a time-shifted medium but I know it must bugs some of you. It certainly bugs me when my favorite shows are late. So... apologies.

As long as we're on this topic, I want to thank you for listening.

There are thousands of other podcasts you could listen to. At this very moment you could be listening to an album by your favorite band or watching a movie or playing a video game or reading a book.

I've always know this but lately I've come to appreciate tyou as a listener all the more. As I mentioned, my current job demands my complete attention so the amount of music and podcasts I listen to has dropped significantly. You could be doing a million other things besides listening to this show so it means a lot to me that you do.

I do everything in my power to make listening to solipsistic NATION entertaining and worth your time to listen to. To that end, today we'll talk with Bruno Miguel and hear :papercutz live set at Islington Metal Works recorded in 2010.

Bruno was on the show a few years back when he released his Ultravioleta EP. Since then he's released Ultravioleta Remixes, Lylac and Do Outro Lado Do Espelho - Lyalac Ambient Reworks and he joins us today from the UK.

Join us again next week when we'll showcase the music of Iberian Records.
