Sroka Sounds 11

Musical hibernation complete, Stroka11 shys away from the daylight and wishes it had curled up for longer. The usual plundering of things that other people have unearthed, a few late minute changes to avoid charges of plargarism and the standard level of ineptness on links that is the hallmark of SrokaSounds.

Sroka Sounds 09

Nothing festive here, just the usual range of stuff that seems to fall together OK. There are my feelings on the henious crime of seat swiping at gigs, a public service annoucement for bus lovers and a smattering of a gig review plus a farewell to something I liked.

Sroka Sounds 08

Sroka Sounds 05

Snuffling, spluttering and gulping my way through this one on the account of having a cold. I think the sneezing was edited out. Medicinal comforts are available via the first two tracks and there is some timely advice to a relative in here together an insight into the mind of a friend. Roll on winter, I'll probably get heat stroke.

Sroka Sounds 03

A dedication, road name spotting, bit of gig plugging - it's all in here, there's even an oblique (and totally unintentional) reference to another Bonfire Radio spoke. And although there aren't any novelty names, there is a bit of novelty language. Enjoy.
