Episode 391: Half-term report for 2024

The Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show

This is the 391st edition of the Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show and the playlist to accompany it. You can CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD but note 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). On this show I’m bringing you a half-term report on the musical year of 2024, so you’ll hear tracks from some of my favourite albums, EPs, and singles of the year so far. There’s no feature album this time as I’m just going to be cramming in as much music from as many releases as I can over the course of the show, but you can expect the usual eclectic mixture of music, from all the usual styles and genres, plus maybe a few unusual ones. We’ll also continue to look forward to EppyFest 11 with a couple of the tracks. 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 32 minutes. Downloaded file is 139.4 MB.
