LISTEN TO PODCAST HERE
This week’s new stuff: Calvin Harris, Little Boots, Pet Shop Boys, British Sea Power, The Streets.

- i could say
- Lily’s friends with kaiser chiefs…and they are supporting Green Day on US tour this summer. Happy for them but come back to CDA! Lead singer ricky wilson says: had fun making the last record, done quickly, then you hand it in like homework. That’s when it becomes really boring. Everyone starts scrutinising it and all you want to do is get back to being in a band with your mates. This is all I want to do.” they’re also going to take time off before starting work on their 4thcd.
-Pet Shop Boys have declined a request from pple for ethical treatment of animals (PETA) to change their name from PSB to Rescue Shelter Boys ..due to animals kept in small, minimal execise…etc.., PSB response: we’re unable to agree (to the request) but nonetheless think it raises an issue worth thinking about. hmmm they’re nicer than *I would’ve been about this!!
Pet Shop Boys
09 CD Yes
- all over the world
(15:44) i chat about…
- how Mike Skinner (aka The Streets) is using Twitter to share his music …music he put THIS AFTERNOON!! he plans to write and record one song a day, and then share them for free over the internet. he says: “I am going to Tweet three new songs this week. I can’t be bothered with all this trying to sell you music. It wastes valuable time. “gonna be in so much trouble” for giving the music away for free..
….true, but my question is …well you’ll have to listen to the show…
The Streets

British Sea Power
- a Forest (Cure cover from the NME Awards CD)
(24:15) i chat about…
- Why is Keane annoying lately…. has to do with them being upset cause in the UK they are judged solely on the music…. so says Tom Chaplin. Well Tom, last time I checked … YOU’RE A BAND!!! and btw, maybe youre really leaving the UK cause your last CD pretty much sucked and you think maybe pple in the US won’t be able to tell??
