the hobopodcast by hobopop
here is a link to the hobopod-cast, which we've been running since last autumn through the itunes store. we started posting things like rough recordings of new songs and copies of radio sessions we had permissions for during the run-up to the 'no.5' recording, and we've been enjoying getting email feedback on the new material from our subscribers.
we've had a few technical issues - you can still see the podcast at the itunes store but you can't subscribe to it. all the episodes appear to have gone. we're working on that in the hope that we can restore it, but in the meantime we've uploaded the podcast to soundcloud and to our hoboshop. we'll carry on doing that in future, too, so that you can get it from your preferred source. the hoboshop offers an RSS feed that will tell you every time we upload a new track, too.
if you haven't already heard the podcasts we've put up over the last six months then please have a flick through - you'll find early versions of songs like 'omaha', 'stonefruit' (this latter has a whole verse that was cut later on), and 'the last to understand' with gabe minnikin on mandolin, from the rehearsals for 'No.5'. the recordings (at least the ones we didn't make in the RTE studios in dublin) are pretty raw - you can hear the traffic outside and the magpies lauging at us through the window - but the songs are all there...
this sudden activity on the podcasting front is due to a new episode finally being ready. we tried to upload it recently and that was when we discovered that the itunes thing had stopped working. the new song is called 'hummingbird', and it's at the top of the list above. It's a very rough recording but the performance seems right to us. please tell us what you think.
