Painfully Unscripted: The “Heavily Accented” Podcast

by Susan M

I’ve created another podcast during my commute time, this one features singers with thick accents. (Which I should probably dedicate to Ronan, our resident Brit, since most of the bands are British.)

Download it here.

Featured songs:

New Model Army - “Bittersweet”
Billy Bragg - “The Short Answer”
The Decemberists - “The Legionaire’s Lament”
The Toy Dolls - “Fiery Jack”
Alisdair Roberts - “The Whole House is Singing”
Damian Dempsey - “Ghosts of Overdoses”

(I’ll get better at the editing eventually. Unfortunately, I can’t edit them while driving, and my time to spend on it at home is very limited!)

Here’s the record single I mention in the podcast:

Upcoming podcasts that are in the works (or at least, I’ve thought about them a bit):

  • The Joyful Podcast (bluegrass & doom metal)
  • The Compare and Contrast Podcast, 80’s style
  • The Climactic Podcast
  • The Compare and Contrast Podcast: Songs in Embryo
  • The Acoustic Podcast

Enjoy.

  1. Awesome. The Decemberists’ accent is so funny, since they’re not from anywhere extraordinary (Portland).

  3. love the toy dolls! one of my favorite bands from when i was in junior high. “james bond lives down our street” was one of my faves.

    and what about the streets? about as heavily-accented as it gets.

  4. These people most certainly don’t have accents!

  5. Good suggestion on the Streets. Also the Arctic Monkeys. The Fratellis, too.

  7. Susan, thanks for your podcast! Found it by accident.
    I am not big on accents, but I do enjoy cute and subtle ones.
    Have you heard of Marina V? She’s my recent favorite of new artists. She’s originally from Russia, and has a hint of her accent. She also sings in her native Russian, and it’s just beautiful.

    Check out “Holy One” from 2003 and “Killing My Dream” from the Live album. Also, I love her version of “Here, There and Everywhere” on her Live Album.
