As we roll along through the beautiful British summer, with a world cup and all the usual Barbque battles, I spoke on the show this week, of a Gadget now being sold in the USA, that could be handy for my rubbish Barbeque skills- a Flame thower. Yes, there is an American company have just released a commercially available to buy, propane powered Flame Thrower. Which is called Not A Flame Thrower!!… I guess they added the ‘Not’,  so nowbody buys it for security and burns their house down or something. I mean, really?, you could not make this up… go google it.

Sticking with hot subjects, we had a great remix from Nature Of Wires for The Stirfry Popstar, as well as new tracks from Berlyn Trilogy – A Flock Of Seagulls [Tiny Magnetic Pets Remix] – This Human Condition – Gjart & Deggsy – This Human Condition – Mind Machine – Levinsky – Eric C Powell, along with a few classic artists and the odd pearl of wisdom.

Now as I found a cup cake in the studio fridge, thanks to Michelle Ward; well her studio guest,  that became my showbiz rider for the show, and so I felt it only right to see what my fellow listerners have as their sort of ‘rider’ or what are you eating as the show jogs along, so to speak- There was facebook chat comments with some great items of bad diet mentioned {check out the mixcloud to hear what}.

Fresh from the last May Bank Holiday Monday of that there 2018, Not sure what got into me this week as the show was full of Innuendo and Classic hits of British farce, from my little chat about old wife tales to me buying a set of glass coffee mugs, that are to hot to use- Bet you are intrigued now. We did however, chat all about live music gigs and all things like that, aiming to be a bit more straight forward and dare I say sensible.

The wonderful bright weathered month of May is nearly over, with all that sunshine it was at odds with the apparent fact, it was World Goth Day. A chance for all Victorian gothic revivalists and musos to flaunt their dark looks and creativity eyeliner.  I mentioned that I still find the term GOTH music a bit lost and wondered who you felt would be in a Goth top ten artist list or who you believe was never really Goth but labelled that way. So it was the Likes of The Cure, Bauhaus, Sister of Mercy and a few others who are seen as Gods in the goth of Fame world.

On this week Guy-liner free show, we had a debut from a new project that holds glamour of film noir Gothica, dear to their Blackhearts- Strange Eyes. We also had new tracks from Train To Spain – Hands of Industry – OHMS – Photona – Simple Minds [Gary Numan / Ade Fenton remix] – Color Theory – PsyAviah ft Saydi Driggers, Plus more remixes and the odd classic artist along the way with a bit of gig news here and there.

The show may have fell on May day, but luckily the only thing of concern, was me eating black pepper coated popcorn during the show- I didn’t choke and I managed to talk just find. In that there talk bit, we spoke about artist who go in disguise and or artist we think are in disguise. I onlt riased that as I suspect one of my new artist to be a band we already know and love.

As we recover from the mini heatwave in Essex, it is always good that I tackle the big issues. Like, do people still have popular songs or pop culture sound effects as ringtones?? – luckily a few listerners did and gave me a few ideas and a little more faith in the factor of not too many falling back to default factory ringtones. Of course if you want to know what ringtine I have then, you will need to rerun the show.

This weeks new music came from The Ramona Flowers – Velvet Kills – Das Klaus – Where the Night Falls – Apache Darling – Paul Handley – Typo Police and a few remixes; one for Tears For Fears  and the odd classic track to enjoy.

Steaming through the flowery month of April, with the expected brighter weather and all that. Well, I say all that, I was concerned this week with the fact that I need to find a way to carry a cup around, as the chain coffee stores offer a discount if you bring your own cup- as it helps save the planet and I’m up for that, I cheekily asked for suggestions on how I achieve all this, but without carrying a mug in my hand. Did I get any ideas? Listen again to find out.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LEAVE US A COMMENT ON THIS WEEK’S SHOW- Maybe there was a track you liked??;

Now that all those chocolate eggs have been dealt with, we can get about the business of getting ready for summer and all that sort of fun. Talking of which, I tried my hand at yet another live travel log type video on Twitter before the live radio show. It went ok, well as well as it can be, apart from the reposting, as I filmed in landscape mode, Facebook decides to post in Portrait; which I had forgotten. So I asked the question, Does anyone else still have any modern tech gripes with these platforms or tech issues they still cannot grasp.

Music wise, we had new tracks on the show this week from Eden [20th-year-anniversary re-release] – ElektroFish – LaGzz – New Neon – A Million Machines – Darwinmcd – Stonerpop. Plus the usual mix of classic tracks and remixes were slipped in along the way, as well as post-gig chat and wisdom.
