The Night In

Yes ladies and gentlemen, I have my own radio show.

Every Wednesday evening at 7pm on University Radio Falmer, I now have a show called The Night In, where I take calls and play some records. Mainly play records because I hardly get any calls.

To listen go to www.urfonline.com and click "listen" of if you've got a Medium Wave / AM radio it broadcasts on 1431AM in the Falmer area.

I already did a pilot show in which I discussed the woes of the credit crunch and played the following records:

The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead by XTC
Airhead by Thomas Dolby
Closest Thing To Heaven by Tears for Fears
In The Morning by The Coral
Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) by David Bowie (Something I've always wanted to hear someone play on the radio)
Flesh by Bill Nelson (Something that literally won't get played anywhere else but should, lots)
Rock The Casbah by The Clash
Cars (Premier Mix) by Gary Numan
Freak Like Me by Sugababes (nice to follow Cars with, due to the heavy use of sampling of Are Friends Electric)
Shout by Tears for Fears (which someone requested in an e-mail)
Where Do They Make Balloons? by They Might Be Giants (didn't plan it, good song, short enough to fit in the time I had left)

I will endevour to provide a podcast of the show shortly.
