Toad on Fresh Air – 22nd February 2010
Once more we get to Fresh Air time, and this week I have a splendidly hot off the press mp3 from the new New Pornogrgaphers album. It arrived in my inbox just as I was getting ready to leave work, so you can’t get much more news-whorish than that!
For the rest of the show, however, I am going to take a slightly different tack to the usual indie-folk, or whatever you want to call it. I have some Dusty Springfield, some Nicole Atkins, some Bettye Swan and even some Dionne Warwick just because erm… well no reason really, it just struck my fancy when I was picking songs for the playlist in all honesty.
Live on Air 8pm-9.30pm – Listen live here.
I’ll fill in the playlist live below from 8pm onwards, so feel free to leave feedback, constructive criticism, mindless abuse, etc in the comments during the show.
