...And Don't the Kids Just Love It! Show tracks for Sat. July 28/12


With the Olympics in full swing now, we celebrate the London Olympics Indie style!
Tonight, a themed show playing tracks to do with the Olympics and London.
I found I had to be very literal because the amount of tracks would have been overwhelming. So I decided to concentrate on tracks that reference the Olympics and places in London in the song title. Still ended up with a wide varying selection.
Hope you enjoyed the show.

The Greatness & Perfection Of Love! Show tracks for Sat. July 21/12

"It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Jon Lord, who suffered a fatal pulmonary embolism today, Monday 16 July at the London Clinic, after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. Jon was surrounded by his loving family," a message on the website said.

We open the show with a tribute to Jon with Never Before and Kula Shaker's version of Hush.

As promised, since if I played this on the air it would offend some people's delicate sensibilities. But they can't control the blog! lol Besides the language is not that bad and it's too good not to be featured somewhere.

Smoking Like The Barrel of a Gun! Show tracks for Sat. July 7/12

Smoking indeed. One of the best shows I've done in a while.
First time in a long while that all but 2 tracks were new releases (or at least first time plays). Still had more that I could have featured. I think I need a longer show....lol

As most of the free world has heard by now, Blur have released a new single. Their last? As far as they are saying it is. We featured both tracks tonight. I was thinking of doing a whole retrospective show on Blur when their big box set is released at the end of the month. What do you think?



Father Sculptor are recording & releasing a new song every fortnight throughout the summer of 2012. Make sure you head on into their site next Monday to download it for free.
