Every week after finishing my show, I take a long train back to London (the studio is in Brentwood, Essex) and reflect on what just happened. Did I play enough new music to justify it being a “new music” show? Is all this new music alienating people who just want to hear some classic rock? Do people really want to listen to a show that plays new music at least 6 months before BBC 6Music, Radio 1 and XFM? As I pull into Liverpool Street Station I usually have the answer fully formed… “YES” I say to the person sitting nearest to me. I have never had one of these reluctant coversationalists come back to me and say “Jed, I disagree, I thought your show was average at best and I think you played one too many bands from Nova Scotia…”. Look at the playlist below. It’s awesome. Do you want a brighton band (Fear of Men) singing one of their songs in french? Check! Do you want a brand new american songstress singing about how much she hates a guy so much, its turned into OCTOHATE? check! And do you want me, Jed Shepherd peppering all this new music talk with tales of the supernatural, impromptu marks out of 10 (usually 7) and absolutely terrible puns on band names? check check check! well you better listen next week too then.
