Matthew’s not here! Yay!

He’s drunk in Texas at SXSW, as evidenced by this candid image supplied by our good friend and regular contributor, Campfires & Battlefields.  Nevertheless the show goes on here in Edinburgh. Ruth’s at the helm with suport from Michael from Jesus H. Foxx, Dylan from Blueback Hotrod and HP from.. well.. the next show up on Fresh Air actually.

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.
