it’s the perfect time for me because no one will be listening so I can start shaping the show and then perhaps move to an afternoon/evening slot which is what I am now considering.

Who was I kidding when I asked for a morning slot…I am a student!!!

I want to create a show that mixes a mainstream style with more specialist music…yes basically BBC 6Music! I also need to see how I feel presenting a show which relies on me as well as the music, whereas my Specialist show was very much about the production values…this will require more presenting effort on my part.

Hopefully I will be on air from 9 til 10am

I’m just finding it quite hard!

Catherine Bray of 4Talent Central has asked me to help curate the stage at Gigbeth but I’m having issues finding a band to supplement headline act Einstellung.

Einstellung are a shoegaze band with indie credentials: no lead singer but no fanastical synth either. Their Myspace features 4minute edits of songs that can last up to half an hour. This is actually far more listenable than it sounds however!

I’ve found a band called Spacemen 3 who I think may fit the bill, they’ve got a vocalist but a suitably low key feel to their music so I’m going to pitch this to 4Talent and see what they think….
