ExplicitDC 521 Up Down Left Right | This week, bleeding eyeballs make people squeal. Don’t forget Podcrawl, more and more coming! Up and down, left and Right this week – I don’t know what to do. Sick of the olympics, and the Torch Relay. 6music winning awards, good, I like that. Punks still pissed at the Queen, the paralells of ‘77 and ‘12 are uncanny, and I don not like that Iron Sky gets a one day only release in the UK, and I can’t make it! I screw up the end of the show, but you expect that kind of thing from me don’t you? UPDATE Just as I was putting this to bed, The BBC reported that Donna Summer had passed at the age of 63 years young. So much for a slow news week.

ExplicitDC 519 Titanic Missiles | This week, second attempt at recording, and even some interaction when I do so. Recovering from disc failure with some great bands sending me tunes. The Space opens, with John Peels first 100 records. I’m out of touch. Duran Duran to be in the spotlight at the olympics, the best of UK music? Mmm, alongside them will be battleships, fight aircraft and Surface to Air Missiles (not air to surface!), which is overkill, literally. Should I do news? Oz billionaire to make Titanic float again, making a new one with 21st Century technology shoehorned in to 1912’s design, will it fit? Picture: Artemis and Divasonic You will hear: ProleteR: April Showers, France Wily Bo Walker & Kareña K: Did I Forget (To Tell You I Love You), UK The Yes Mess: Criminal (Acoustic), UK The Dirty Youth: Rise Up, Wales Darling Parade: Never Fall Down, USA Sparrow: Beautiful, UK Artemis: Treasure, USA Burning Shapes: Someone Else’s Words, UK Still inLimbo: Sail Away, USA Knifeworld: Clairovoyant Fortnight, UK Get the show regularly Contact us Copy / Share | 3 5 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitDC 518 Dead Disk Blues | After a week off, getting back up to speed. A nice break off doing stuff, back here, non stop. Watching more live bands, and a disk failure (losing all 33,000 music tracks) makes this week a disappointment. But, interesting news Spotify to be added to the charts? Nooooo! well, not yet, Music has same effect as performace enhancing drugs, say psychotherapists, and crazy celebrity name of the week goes to Astala Dylan Willow Cohen-Geldof, well what do you expect when your mum is called Peaches? Picture: Rumour You will hear: Argonaut: Touch Electric, UK Seagull Kinevil: Rowenna, Wales Butterfly Boucher: 5678!, Australia The History of Panic: History, USA Johnny Cooper: Hot Mess, USA Lee-Dai Jones: Lord He Rides, Wales Jade Leary: I’ll be the Stone, Canada Deathboy: Zombie Overlords, UK Rumour: Set It Off, Wales Breed77: Zombie, UK Diablo Swing Orchestra: Voodoo Mon Amour, Sweden Get the show regularly Contact us Copy / Share | 27 4 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Grooveshark in trouble, when content providers sue, Man dies after being stabbed at a Jessie J gig, sponsored by Blackberry.

ExplicitDC 515 Fatty Snooping | This week, I’ve been put on a low-fat diet, and my diet sheet. Must stop eating Caviar. The government will be snooping on all email and webtraffic here in the UK, a turnaround for the government who when they were in opposition, said no, let the public decide. Bono and The Edge invest in Dropbox, should I find an alternative? Sonisphere cancelled, was it lack of ticket sales or that Kiss was headlining? and Stilettos for men, high fashion in India, but will it take off here?

ExplicitDC 514 Olympic Apocalypse | This week, I’m calm cool and collected, not like the freakish weather we’re having. Getting to see live music again in London, and keeping my head down ready for The Olympics, really not looking forward to that. A Susan Boyle musical, so soon? Better off going to the states with that me thinks. A fantastic summer killing zombies, might just be ahead of me, if I can convince some people. Picture: Stomacher You will hear: BraAgas: Radule, Czech Republic Leni Ward: Open Doors, UK Jonny Cola & The A Grades: Rain Stopped Play, UK Microwaved: Worthless, Australia Stomacher: Sentimental Education, USA Lords of Acid: Sole Sucker (Angelspit Remix), USA/Australia Inure: The Call, USA Everything Goes Cold: King of the Impossible (Crackmix by Acucrack), USA Break Through Beautiful: Swell, USA All Else Fails: Fertile Fields, Canada Get the Show for free with: Contact us Copy / Share | 29 3 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitDC 513 Winning | This week, The European Podcasts Award, Hammerfest and more DarkCompass tattoos on other people, I should get everyone done. Liked The Hit Factory?, well here’s a concert just for you, Simon Cowell to axe X-Factor?, yes please, so much the better for independent music, and a road filled with Porn DVDs, no one so far has claimed them. Getting them off the residents might be an issue. Thanks again so much for voting for me at the EPA, Best Personality in the UK, and Second in the whole of Europe. Again it could not happen without you my listeners, sorry minions. Picture: Cabaret Grey You will hear: She Makes War: Shields and Daggers, UK Principe Valiente: New Life, Sweden Cabaret Grey: Stirring, Poland Trip to Dover: Where Was I, UK Amy Ray: Blame Is a Killer, USA Cancer Killing Gemini: Homosexual, USA Serial Obsession: More to Life, USA Thee Oh Sees: AA warm Breeze, USA Corso: Learn from the Fog, Italy Emerald Park: Never Say Never Again, Sweden Get the Show for free with: Contact us Copy / Share | 22 3 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Find your way to the dark compass
Rowley's one of the longest established podcasters in the UK, and he can still be relied on to regularly produce a top-notch show with some great music and his own narrative slant on life, the universe, and everything. (In other words, he does a great 'rant'). There's a wide range of music on offer here - and listeners who share Rowley's love of Metal can find even more in his Dark Compass Metal Podcast. Rowley's compass is like Captain Jack Sparrow's - its useless if you want to find North, but it'll certainly help you to find what you most want.
Britain's Grumpiest Podcaster?
Meet Rowley Cutler. He's been podcasting for over three years and has over 300 shows under his belt, along with other guest appearances. His weekly review of the weeks events will always amuse and with a bit of luck he'll go off and a rant about something or other! Recently he's become a bit forgetful and has lost his hat and a Nokia 810 internet tablet. If you see someone wandering around Paddington station with a note attached reading "please look after this podcaster" be sure and say hello!
