Show tracks for Sat. Sept. 24/11

Another lp session night. We did this earlier in the year when a bunch of great albums came out all at once. They're all good and would have been proper lp sessions in their own right. So there is one proper lp session and 4 mini ones.

It might be an end of an era. The Manic Street Preachers appear to be headed for a hiatus. But the rumours are swirling after the announcement of a definitive singles compilation and a retrospective video for the new single This Is The Day, that the hiatus may be permanent. Well, only time will tell.

Show tracks for Sat. Sept. 17/11

Opened the show with a really innovative track. Ash and We Are Scientists have covered a track by Robert Manning called Washington Parks. What's so innovative about it it that Ash are playing in the left channel and We Are Scientists are in the right channel. You can hear differences if you use headphones. It's all for charity. Please link to Robert's site to purchase tracks and help his cause.
