It goes something a little like this..........
........BOOM!
This week I didn't really have a clue as to what I was going to do until just before thw show, after a pig of a day messing about with TRANSMITTERS and what not I wasn't really in the mood for it.
Luckily Les, the show before me, had a big Carter USM announcement on his show, they will be playing AGAIN this year, with two dates, the 21st and 22nd of November, the former date will be in the midlands and the latter one in Brixton. So, on honour of that, I decided to make Carter USM artist of the week and consequently played three songs per hour by them.
The ever reliable Marni called in again this week with, in the end three tracks, which have a brief description below the playlist, and what a playlist it is, have a butchers;

Marni, as usual delivered the goods, here is what she had to say;
This week’s bands are both from Melbourne.
Both Signed
Both GREAT!
“Children Collide” are a two piece … Johnny (vocals/guitar) and Heath (bass).

The song we played wass “We Are Amphibious”
Have a look at this! Supporting the Wombats!
Check out their gig guide for show supports of the Wombats from the UK.
"Who are the Wombats Steve?" (Naturally I obliged and played them on air the following day, I played "Moving To New York")
Next we had “Spiderbait”

Kram: on drums and vocals
Janet: the sexy bass player (every band needs a sexy bass player)
Whitt: on guitar/sampler/vocals
The song is a cover of Sunshine On My Window! It was short but very sweet!
Janet is on vocals.
That was all really except for a last minute addition to the Australian features and this is special because it’s new to Marni and it’s independent and that’s what she's all about. Promoting indie bands that are GREAT!
This is a song from a band called “INTERNATIONAL FLANNEL” and it’s called “Blood and Bone” We’ll be playing another tune from them next week on Vm and giving out some info on the band and what’s going on with them.

Stay tuned for that next week!
Lastly she plugged her myspace site because she needs some more friends and more bands. More GREAT bands!!

Add her and let her know what you think of Australian music!
Until next time.......as you were......
