We are working on the next two podcasts at the moment, and we have some really good bands/artists lined up for your aural delight – oh yeah, and my voice.

We want to congratulate Lucy, Oli and EB33 Management on this great news. And we’ll give you a review of the gig shortly after the 1st.

After threatening to give the music industry a bit of a shake-up with their “you pay what you think it’s worth” idea, Radiohead have now signed a deal to give their digital album “In Rainbows” a usual physical release.
UK label XL have been given the chance to get the album onto shelves, in all territories excluding North America. A release date hasn’t been announced but is likely to be quite soon.
London-based XL, part of the Beggars Banquet group, have got some Radiohead history after having previously released singer Thom Yorke’s solo album “The Eraser”.
