The Jed Shepherd Show featuring Japanese girl-band No Cars! Listen to the podcast below (click that little play button) and watch the video too! I loved having them on the show because they taught me a lot about what its like living in Japan, eating horse in Japan and finding Japanese girlfriend (apparently you have to pretend you hate them and they will be yours forever). They also let me do backing vocals on “Tuna Tuna Tuna Tuna Tuna” which so far is the high point of my radio time at Phoenix (besides doing a ouija board with Emily Capell). That reminds me, on the show they told me the difference between Japanese Ghosts and British Ghosts is that in Japan, ghosts have no feet. So now you know.

This is the No Cars theme song. They heard my one so wrote one really quickly to compete like rivals. Their theme song is better but mine has more explosions.
This song is ‘Scrabble Mug’ about a Scrabble mug that Haruna’s ex-boyfriend gave her.
If you want to see NO CARS play live, they are playing the Brixton Windmill on March 29th and its free BBQ day too so get there early! IF you have listened to the podcast you will know all the words to their songs now and can sing along at the gig… especially to the Tuna song.
I beat them at foosball, but they won the ‘best theme song’ contest!
