more than just music
‘There’s no good new music around these days’ they say. ‘No one has any talent any more, it’s all manufactured rubbish’ they say. Well I say – you just need to look a little deeper. There’s tons of great new music around. And most of it just doesn’t get picked up by the mainstream radio […]

I’ve been a fan of London Grammar for a very long time. I first heard them when they released their Metal & Dust ep in 2013 and loved the sound they made. It was beautiful. Since then, I’ve seen them in concert twice, and bought both their albums, 2013’s If You Wait which I thought […]

As far as I’m concerned, if you’re going to do a cover version of a well known song, make it different. And that is exactly what The Interrupters have done brilliantly with their version of Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy from last year. It was one of the many, many songs that I discovered during Lockdown […]

I’ve been listening to BBC 6 Music alot over the last few months and discovering lots of new music, a job which I think is still mportant with regards to radio. I’m much happier getting recommedations from someone like Ravers, Lammo, Gilles or Mary Anne Hobbs than an algorithm. Anyway, one of the best tracks […]

First things first, I’m a huge fan of Ozzy Osbourne. Have been since hearing Bark at the Moon on Radio 1’s Roundtable back in 1983. Since then every album has been purchased, many magazine articles have been read, too many videos of songs & interviews have been watched and although I’ve seen him with Black […]

It’s just after 6am on Saturday 16th October 1999. The news is just about to finish, and then………..I’m going to be in control. Of a whole radio station! For the first time! My first ‘proper’ radio show was just about to begin. I had finally made my childhood dreams come true. I was about to […]

This morning, I received this new single from Noel from 3 different PRs/pluggers, which is very unusual. I think it’s far to say that this isn’t the best thing that Noel has ever released but it continues his pursuit of different sounds following his last album, which I have to say wasn’t an instant hit […]

The simple fact about today is that the world is a slightly better place. Why? Because the Black Keys have released some new music and it’s rather good! To me it sounds like a continuation of the material from their El Camino album. Hopefully this means that a new album is on the way.
