Hooray is February – well its my birthday this month, so bit biased I guess…. had a chock block full of talent in the show today, new stuff by Modovar, as they have released a new EP;The Sea of Unspoken words – and a lady called Margaret Berger, her track, “I feed you my love” is a set to be the Norwegian Eurovision Song Contest entry for 2013- I must admit this track would, in my mind be the 1st Eurovision song I’ve liked in a millennium.
We chatted about the new single from Depeche Mode- ‘Heaven’, which will be released March 17th, a head of the new album Delta Machine, due out from March 27th {a month before I-Synth 1, in Lille – April 27th } .
Well as I say, nice to be in Feb, as January had that snow nonsense and I had a prowling issue with a local Tom cat, who likes to sit on my car and stare me out.
On the show today we got to chat to two guests at the same time- a technical feat for little me I tell you. Via the good old phone was Jet Noir and Tony Mayo – we chatted about rather cyber-punky sound of Jet Noir and all things ‘Naked Lunch’….and you can listen again by clicking on the audio link below;
