“It’s December, I’m getting airplay. This must be what it feels like to be Noddy Holder :-)”

Back in the studio tonight after being stuck at home in a snowdrift last week. More and more Christmas songs creeping in including offerings from Ten Tigers, Earl Brutus, Asobi Seksu and the Joy Formidable. I also played new stuff from Stanley, the Megadudes (who we hope will be live in the studio next week) and an unsigned band from Brighton who sent us stuff to play, the Zep-tinged New Sun Blues. I EVEN PLAYED LADY GAGA. That’s what happens when you put yourself open to requests.
