Playlist - 7 February 2008

If only all my shows were as GRATE as this one ....

A great way to celebrate the show moving to its new Thursday night slot, to give us the opportunity to trounce Ashes To Ashes in the ratings. Two interviews in tonight's show - one with Tim Dellow from Transgressive Records and one with Yan and Hamilton from British Sea Power.

Two songs from local band Neat too ... they'll be playing live here at Phoenix's Ivory Towers on 6 March, when Bryan "The Power" Powis sits in for me.

Grammar corner:

Harrys Gym are a Norwegian band and as such there is no apostrophe in the name. Possessive cases in Norwegian and other Scandinavian languages merely take an s at the end of the word without apostrophe. I just wanted to clear that up in case you thought my spelling was as bad as (nearly) everyone else's on the station.
