Great session, as ever! :) I think you missed out Metric from the track notes, though...

Steven Garrity -

Thanks Catherine - fixed.

The mp3 link in the blockquote is for session 32.

Steven Garrity -

Thanks James - sorry about that. Serves me right for hastily writing up the show notes while on vacation.

Great to see another session out Steven - I always look forward to them. And even though I haven't listened yet, it's even better to see you finish with 'Miasmal Smoke...', definitely one of my favourite album closers in a long, long time.

Incidentally, I think you missed a word off the end of your opening sentence.

Another great AoVR session, which is all I expect from you, kind sir. You even got me to start my own similarly-themed podcast.

This was excellent. Thanks!

Listening again tonight - Metric rocks. Checked out acoustic version on youtube. Found they'll be hear soon.

Can't wait for next AOV session.

Great session cool to see Elbow getting recognition now after years of slog!

David -

Thanks for yet another excellent session...I've heard all those you've published and have greatly enjoyed them. It's a shame to see that over a year has passed without a new one though...please don't give up on them as they've given pleasure to a great many people and are much appreciated and much missed.

Steven Garrity -

Thanks David (et. al.). AoV Radio isn't dead, it's just been a busy year (new house, new baby). I have a track-list compiled - just need a free evening. That should happen sometime between now and 2012.

Great session (although it is already a bit older). I listended to first time to it in May 2010 and just listened again. Especially like the tracks from Elbow and U2 :-).
