Unless you're a keen fan of the Guv's Oddcastes (I confess I am negligent), you might not know of his involvement in the Miniatures 2020 project. This concept has a long and fascinating history, which Martin covers well in Oddcaste 105, but my purpose here is to alert you to the existence of his song "Love You For A Minute", which appears in both the Miniatures 2020 CD set and Oddcaste 105. It's a charming jazzy ballad that lasts just a minute (because that's the main requirement of the project). So off to Mixcloud and Oddcaste 105 now, it's well worth it!

There are only two music shows I listen to, one of which is the Oddcaste. They're always easy to digest, generally full of surprises, and not infrequently he'll play new work pre-release. "Flora and Fauna" and "Done with the Runway", which eventually appeared on The Beautiful Stoned EP in June, were first aired on the Oddcaste in late Feb/early March.

From a fine interview Martin did around the release of Dolly Birds & Spies. Does our resident Oddcaste expert know whether Lily's 'Prospect' made it onto the show? And where's that EP??
SEM (Stereo Embers Magazine): Does your daughter do any music?
Martin: Lilly? Well, there’s an interesting tale because she was always really musical. I got her in front of a mic the other day singing “A Street Called Prospect.” She’s 24 but a lot of her youth got sacrificed on motherhood, really. Now, I’ve gotten her in front of a mic and in one take she did “A Street Called Prospect”. That was the first time she’d done any singing, for me anyway, since she was about ten. I told her we should do more of this together. She likes the jazzy stuff… the stuff that I’m not much good at singing. She’s got that voice for it. So between me and my manager, we thought if she’ll do it, we’ll record another three songs and we’ll put out a little downloadable ep and see how the public like it. I’ll play that one on my oddcaste if she’ll let me.

Haven't stumbled across it yet—but it's admittedly slow going, making my way back through old Oddcastes and cataloging what's there. (In addition to artists and song titles I'm also using Discogs and other sources to verify the album whence a track originated, if applicable, and release date—partly for my own musical education, and partly because I simply have an innate archivist's need to create a historical record of something that might otherwise be ephemeral. Can't help it, the boy can't help it.)
That interview would have been what, spring/summer 2020? There's quite a number of episodes from June 2020 onwards that I haven't yet revisited so I'll try to make those my priority as time allows.
Happy newell year, all!
