The Post Eurovision Comedown
Before we go any further...this is Andrea:
Andrea presents the show after ours, and she is lovely. This week, she has new hair, which is also lovely. That is all.
So, for the second week running we found ourselves overwhelmed with a veritable welter of music to plough through, curiously much of it from Sweden. No idea why. It just was. Even more strangely, nothing from Finland, despite them being crowned musical Kings of Europe last night - if the Eurovision's anything to go by (which, fortunately, its not).
So the aural mouthwash we provided to wash away the taste of the Song Contest was made up of some mellow acousticky stuff from Espers, psychadelia from The Aliens, sleazy hip hop from Robyn, rock - and indeed, roll - from Howlin' Wolf AND Aretha Franklin....and, and, and, well just look at the playlist, eh?
Also had some poetry (very grown up, eh?) from Ivor Cutler, which can be found here
AND...check out the toolbar on the right - see that? That'll be the Jamie Lidell interview, in mp3 format, for you to download for FREE! How good is that? Eh? Eh?
Have a wonderful week, but don't go too far - remember you've got to be back for next Sunday's show. Tra.

West Coast Hip Hop Crimes
Picture the scenes, car's burnt out by the side of the road, vicious gangs of youths roaming the streets armed to teeth and ready for ultra-violence. Old people and decent afraid of their own neighbourhoods. Crime levels through the roof. Obviously the perfect breeding ground for Hip Hop. and you'd be right.
Only this is not LA. it's Wishaw. and the biggest crime committed here is the blatant theft of our voices for the shameless self-promotion of kobra audio labs. Wishaw's most twisted and hard hip hop outfit.
On an innocent journey through the interweb, I noticed that Wishaw's wonderboy Mark Kobra who of course is responsible for the jingle on our show has used this little clip from the DIY Chart Show for his own self-publication. So, we're going to get him back by using the same clip for our own shameless self-promotion.
- Here it is in it's West Coast of Scotland Glory (MP3)
Check out kobra audio labs at this web page
So anyway today's show was action packed mayhem from start to finish with TWO featured artists, with very similar names - no coincedence.
- Adam Sky - also check out this Adam Sky Rock n' Rave Mix (from the Adam Sky Website)
- Adem - also check out this real video of his Last Single Ringing in My Ear (REAL VIDEO) (from the Adem website)
If you enjoyed the show please check out our playlist which contains links to the blogs which gave us the inspiration for this show, indeed if you follow some of the links you can listen to the songs themselves.
til next week,....

Hip Hip Hooray
It's the first summery day of 2006, so we've got big beaming smiles on our spacefaces.
And to celebrate life at it's summery fullest, we had a number of special items on today's show. MePaul took us on a journey through spacetime to the explore some 1960's insanity with Skip Spence, more in the featured artists section.
We also had a track from regular listener STSHR - which rocked the house down - ooh yeah ooh yeah and from Brno's soon to be massive MIDILIDI.
