underneath the radar: week fifteen

Exceptionally big show this week. I indulged in airing the deep philosophical musings of the Dears' Murray Lightburn (along with some beautiful tracks penned by the aforementioned group). God I sound really highbrow now..

There was also a joint gig review with the sweet Amanda (of belief=function=belief fame), discussing Sunday's Moving Units gig at the Stage. My views of the gig are tainted from the somewhat hostile interview earlier that afternoon, along with the fascinating crowd but yeah. Would have been a great concert if neither the crowd nor the band were there. No hard feelings.

Songs from the Front Row this week featured live Supergrass, New Order's first performance of True Faith & Coldplay, live in Paris. While Electronic Ecstasy featured Cause & Effect, some new Daft Punk & St Etienne.

And yes the rumours are true. I did turn 20 on air, thank you for the lovely warm wishes & presents. I had such a great day. I'm grateful anyone really cares at all cause I didn't realise it was coming in some sense. This isn't my cake, I'm just doing my thing with google image search.

HEY just cause he's dead doesn't mean i shouldn't be allowed to eat him in cake form
