Episode 401: The Morning After

The Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show

This is the 401st edition of the Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show and the playlist to accompany it. You can CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD but note that the shows are large files. The show is also available to stream via Mixcloud and the Progzilla Radio Network (the show appears on Progzilla in alternate weeks). Hopefully you enjoyed the previous show, this year’s Halloween special. But this time around, things should be rather less ghoulish and strange, and the main focus of this show will see me reflecting on the many live gigs I’ve attended over the past month. There’s no feature album or artist this time, but there will be generous coverage of music from the various bands and artists I’ve been fortunate enough to experience live in recent weeks. Other than that, you can expect the usual eclectic mixture of music, including tracks from lots of recent releases and a tribute paid to the singer Paul Di’anno who sadly passed away recently. Below you’ll find the track list, plus weblinks from where you can find more information about each artist.

Total running time: 2 hours and 14 minutes. Downloaded file is 122.5 MB.
