The Cirque de Crème Anglaise is back with another dose of quirky music, vaudevillean pomp and vanilla-flavoured tongue-in-cheekery. But at a difference venue and with an admission price of ZERO MONEY! See details at the end...<br/><br/>Headlining this time are THE HENRY ROAD, about whom Rolling Stone USA, no less, remarked: ‘For those who prefer a more deranged psycho-tropical trip, these are irresistably unhinged wagonpop heretics who will fire up the synapses of anyone who found Side Two of "Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake" a mite too lucid. Mad, original and really rather brilliant.’ Be very afraid. The boys recently released their debut album `Running at Dog 90`.<br/><br/>And I`m immensely pleased to announce, all the way from Lancaster, the fabulous THE LOVELY EGGS. No band could be more in the spirit of the Cirque de Crème Anglaise, and you can get a sense of where they are coming from by their song titles alone: `I Like Birds But I Like Other Animals Too`, `Tyrannosaurus Rex For Christmas`, `Have You Ever Heard a Digital Accordian?`...Drowned in Sound described them thus: ‘Like a great aunt who keeps forgetting she’s already given you a fiver for clearing the dandelions out of her garden and keeps forking out until your mum catches you…they may be unhinged but they put heart, humour and warmth into their music.’<br/><br/>You will have noticed that I`ve never actually had any band on more than once at the Cirque—simply because I keep finding new acts that I want to show you. However, I felt an irresistible urge to ask back none other than NO CARS. Last time they consisted of two Japanese girls plus a British bloke on drums whom they insisted was trying to become a Japanese girl through the power of prayer; well the prayers must have worked because they are now an all-girl, all-Japanese trio, but still singing mostly about their favourite foods and illustrating the songs with a succession of strange, and now rather tattered, cartoons displayed to the audience on a music stand. They prompted Artrocker to wonder: `Can human beings this uncomplicated really exist?`<br/><br/>Finally, of course, you will have to listen to THE FURBELOWS themselves, but we promise not to play for much more than half an hour.<br/><br/>In and around all this loveliness you will be serenaded by the even more lovely Cirque house DJ MC FRUITY, with his unique mix of swing music, dub, hippety-hop and other musical forms so new they don`t even have a name yet. (At one Cirque he dropped a choon the producer of which happened to be in the room—and he couldn`t work out how Fruity even knew about it.)<br/><br/>As if that weren`t enough there will be the usual FREE limited edition badge and FREE custard creams.<br/><br/>But there is one BIG difference this time: sadly our old venue, the Cross Kings, has had to close down, evicted by their wicked landlord. But we are very lucky that we have been able to find a splendid replacement in the form of Salon d`Été a stunning club opened this spring over L`Equipe Anglaise alongside Selfridges, just minutes from Bond Street tube station. The interior is filled with palm trees and living vines and they do scrummy food and scrummier cocktails.<br/><br/>Sadly, however, this venue too is set to close just a couple of weeks after our event, laid low by a compulsory purchase order, so do come along if only to see this place while it still stands.<br/><br/>Best of all, in an end-of-term spirit, Ed, who runs the place, has declared that ADMISSION IS FREE and the place will stay open till 3am no less.</span></p><h2><span>Recharged Radio: Has woken up; can smell coffee...</span></h2><h3><span>27/07/2010 17:32:58</span></h3><p><span>...then realised they fell asleep in Cilantro at the end of the road.<br/><br/>Mind you, if you are ever round the Maple St direction and you want a good coffee, go there. They`ll even give you a loss-leading brownie with it. I, however, have never actually bought a whole brownie from them yet so in their eyes, it`s currently just a loss. Nevermind; the offee rocks socks in the free world.<br/><br/>Just before I get off the subject of `where to get good coffee from`, try the little place outside of the British Library. Also, if you hang around there long enough you`ll see Andrew Wyld (off of Fake Teak) scuttling in to the BL to work on Very Hard Things.<br/><br/>Right, yes, moosick. First and foremost, I have something to relate to you, courtesy of The Justin Wayne (and his show).<br/><br/>"The Justin Wayne Show reaches a very important podcasting milestone on Wednesday as it`s time for its 100th Episode.  We`ll be hearing from friends new and old, unearthing all the old show intros, hearing some of the old show jingles, and spending some time with a few of the segments from years gone by.  Oh yeah, and musical selections from the last two years too"<br/><br/>Wouldn`t want to leave out the music there, JW... Anyway, that`s Wednesday @ 8 after Close To Nowhere (the home of the fabulous feature "My Chicken Plays Music"). Tune in. Switch Off. Eat food.<br/><br/>Next week, you must come to 93ft East. Why? Cos we have a gig on and we would like you to be there. Breaks down like this:<br/><br/>The Main Room: Kah, Nathan Watson, Alex Keevil and The Mircodance and Ross And Wrongens<br/>The Bar: DeeJay Mumin, who`ll be spinning some Metal on the Wheels Of Steel. She assures me there`ll be a spot of Sleazy-Viking too... or something.<br/><br/>Kicks off at 7:30 and it`s free. Come on, you know you`d quite like to. Also, it`ll be hosted by our own Minki who has promised to dress up.<br/><br/>Speaking of Minki, she`ll be live at The Monarch with The Scratch tomorrow night! Come along to that too, it`s a freebie and The Scratch are always entertaining (as you should know. If you don`t, come and be enlightened!)<br/><br/>As ever, the full schedule for this week is up on rechargedradio.com but keep your ears peeled; we usually have extra bits. Adds to the fun, no?<br/><br/>Finally, if you`re on twitter - come follow us. The 400th person gets a prize of extreme greatness.<br/><br/>My work here is done (and I`d better go, Andrew Wyld is needing to talk)<br/><br/>Jord</span></p><h2><span>Congratulations number 2!!</span></h2><h3><span>27/07/2010 10:53:40</span></h3><p><span>Great news: The Little Philistines have just added to their number! Sunday 8am. He`s called Jude and Matt and Nicola are both chuffed!</span></p><h2><span>Congratulations!</span></h2><h3><span>27/07/2010 10:06:39</span></h3><p><span>Well done to Tank Murdoch for winning a copy of With Flaws Magazine last night!<br/><br/>Also, well done to Anon_Coward_946 for making us feel sorry for them... so we sent them a copy of WF mag too...<br/><br/>Tugging at heartstrings will get you everywhere.. <br/><br/>Jord</span></p><h2><span>27.07.10 Tuesday Night Diner: Found!</span></h2><h3><span>27/07/2010 06:11:48</span></h3><p><span>Usually, I`m in the business of finding great music for you to listen to on the Tuesday Night Diner. But guess what? Some really great music found ME this week, and I`m thrilled to present it to you.<br/><br/>Amanda Abizaid is a singer/songwriter based in Los Angeles, and has seen much success with her songs being placed in various television shows, such as The 4400, Smallville, and Charmed. She`s got a wonderful singing voice, and her music has been described as something like “Dido meets Beck”.<br/><br/>She just completed an elegant, classy album called This Life, slated for release on September 15th. But her people got in touch with my people, and rushed a copy to me here in Northern California! Okay, Amanda`s got “people”. I`m not big enough to have “people”--so I`m playing the role of my “people”! Full disclosure aside, I`ll be spinning a track from This Life on this week`s show.<br/><br/>www.amandaabizaid.com<br/><br/>As regular listeners know by now, Maxi Dunn`s one of my favorite artists. I`ve known her for a little over a year, and in that time, she`s put together some really interesting, edgy pop music. The “edge” makes the pop more interesting, and the “pop” smoothes out the edginess. She`s been working tirelessly with producer Pete Hackett on her next album, The Neglected Gambit, still very much a work in progress. I`m also a big fan of Pete`s, so this whole thing bodes well. A new sneak preview track found its way to me this past weekend, and I`ll debut it on this week`s show. <br/><br/>www.maxidunn.info<br/><br/>Finally, tomorrow night is the 100th episode of the Justin Wayne Show here on Recharged Radio. Justin`s been consistently making great radio happen, and championing great indie bands since even before Recharged Radio started its grand expansion last year (which led to us two Yanks joining the fold). Tonight is my 33rd show, so if I behave and continue to make good sounds come out of your speakers, I`ll someday get to where Justin is. Happy 100th show, Justin! Check it out on Wednesday, 8-10 p.m. GMT here at Recharged Radio!<br/><br/><br/>If you`d like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com. If you`d like to become an honorary California citizen, drop me a line at the same address. And if you`d like to hear all this great music—simply tune in to the Tuesday Night Diner, Tuesday night, 8:00-10:00 p.m. (GMT), 12:00-2:00 p.m. Pacific, only at Recharged Radio—www.rechargedradio.com.<br/><br/>See you then!<br/><br/>Chef Mike<br/>mike(at)rechargedradio.com<br/>MN2BDNC</span></p><h2><span>This evening...</span></h2><h3><span>25/07/2010 16:43:54</span></h3><p><span>OK, so we`ve got the Music Unleashed Top 40 from 6 tonight but from 5 until 6, we`ve got the repeat of Close To Nowhere, with Pete Renzullo. <br/><br/>Happy listening!!<br/><br/></span></p><h2><span>Recharged Radio: Anyway...</span></h2><h3><span>22/07/2010 15:37:17</span></h3><p><span>`lo,<br/><br/>The Lovely Joanna Wyld (Andrew Wyld, off of Fake Teak`s sister) asked us for our most used words here at Recharged for something (we`re not sure what but she`s a copywriter so it could be anything). We could only come up with `anyway` and `umm`... Some bright spark (we think it was Minki) mentioned we say `stuff will happen` a lot but those are `words`, plural. Not word. So they don`t count.<br/><br/>I have no idea why I`m talking about this. It was in my head/on my mind.<br/><br/>Anyway (see? There it is!)<br/><br/>If you tuned in last night, you might have been greeted with some issues (namely, no sound... which is a bit crucial for us). This was due to some stuff I won`t bore you with but the upshot of it is that you can catch Wednesday`s programming on Saturday night from 7. Don`t despair. Really, don`t.<br/><br/>In brighter news, make sure you get a pen/pencil/slice a vein open and scribe the following date in your diary - Thursday, 5th August - 93ft East. We`re hosting another of our (infrequent) gig nights at the esteemed venue and would like you to come along. It`s FREE, so bring friends and listen to The Microdance, Nathan Watson, Kah and Ross and<br/>the Wrongens.<br/><br/>If you`re a fan of Oor Minki, read this next bit VERY carefully. Minki`s Magic Moments (possibly the worst name for a radio show since... oh I don`t know...) will be on tonight from 8 until 9. Don`t worry too much about the content. It`s Minki. Whatever she says, you`d better obey. Especially if your name beings with an `S`.... but she will be sending you off out to places. So bring a pen/pencil/open vein and a piece of paper.<br/><br/>(That bit was the `recommended listening` bit by the way).<br/><br/>As ever, don`t forget to do the following:<br/><br/>1. Tune in every evening at 7 and you`ll hear good music and<br/>passionate people (who are passionate about music, just to be clear).<br/>2. Tell your friends about Recharged Radio<br/>3. Sign up to the podcasts<br/>4. Make someone else a hot drink at least once a day<br/>5. Follow up on at least one band you hear on RR<br/>6. Breathe<br/>7. Get a decent night`s sleep at least once a week<br/><br/>Right, that`s enough rubbish for one week.<br/><br/>Jord<br/><br/>Music<br/>Needs<br/>2<br/>Be<br/>Driven<br/>Not<br/>Controlled</span></p><h2><span>LAST NIGHT, SHE SAID...</span></h2><h3><span>22/07/2010 14:24:32</span></h3><p><span>"Can you take the bins out? I`m up to my eyes in doing dinner here..."<br/><br/>Anyway, yes, in a follow up to the `issues` we had last night.

This is the week where we`re fully loaded—wait, I didn`t mean it THAT way. I simply mean that the full Tuesday night ensemble is ready to spring into action and take you to new and interesting musical places.<br/><br/>Apparently, the Oreo cookie is fairly new to Britain, having only been introduced in 2008. It`s two crispy chocolate cookies surrounding a sweet, creamy filling. It`s been a favorite here in America for nearly a century, and it`s kind of shocking that it`s only now made it across the pond. This week`s Tuesday night lineup is very much like an Oreo cookie.<br/><br/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oreo<br/><br/>Rob One and the 20/20 Hip Hop show burst upon the scene at 7:00 p.m. (GMT). Rob is a compendium of all things hip hop, and if there`s anything to know about the genre, you`ll probably learn it on his show. Fiona Ledgard grabs the airwaves from my Californian self at 10:00 p.m., and finishes off the night with the Anything Goes Evening Show. She`s always got a wide variety of sessions, interviews,  and great music. She shows us how it`s done.<br/><br/>In the middle of this Oreo cookie of radio goodness is the Tuesday Night Diner. This show has to be good, if I`m gonna keep up with the crispy goodness of Rob and Fiona!<br/><br/>So what are we filling the middle of Tuesday with this week?<br/><br/>The Shindig Addicts are a dynamic band from East London. They hold a special place in my heart, because the song of theirs I`m going to play for you this evening is the first song I heard Jordan play when I first heard him on the radio. One thing led to another, and here I am on Recharged Radio! But this song is electric, and will grab your attention. Lead singer Joan makes sure of it. Please don`t pour coffee or perform open heart surgery while listening to it, because you will absolutely botch both tasks!<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/theshindigaddicts<br/><br/>Anton Barbeau is a legendary Sacramento born-and-bred singer/songwriter who now resides in the UK. We`ve had him on the show before, this past winter. He loves eccentric and psychedelic music, such as that of Robyn Hitchcock and Julian Cope, two of my faves as well. Recently, he`s been gigging all over the place with his band, the Antband, and guess who they are? None other than Morris Windsor and Andy Metcalfe—Robyn Hitchcock`s Egyptians and Soft Boys! Together, they`re going to be supporting Don McGlashan at Dingwall`s in Camden, London, this Thursday night. Definitely go check them out—and tell Anton I said “hi” if you do! In honor of this momentous occasion, we`ll be closing the show with a really great track off of his recent Plastic Guitar release.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/antonbarbeau<br/>http://www.myspace.com/theshindigaddicts<br/><br/>If you`d like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com.

Do you need a reason?</span></h2><h3><span>16/07/2010 11:19:51</span></h3><p><span>...cos I can`t think of anything topical or witty today.<br/><br/>I do, however, need to get straight down to business. Recent visitors to our Maple St studio will have noticed some Titty Bingo stickers lurking in the corridor which have proved (unsurprisingly) popular with staff and visitors alike. Anyway, our very own Justin Wayne (of, er... The Justin Wayne Show fame) interviewed Larry Fulcher from said band this week. What I didn`t know, was just how prolific Mr Fulcher has been (for example, he`s won a Grammy for his work with Taj Mahal). The whole point of me mentioning this, is to point you at The Justin Wayne Show on the ol` cast o` pods and tell you to listen to it. Well done to Justin for that!<br/><br/>Now, this is IMPORTANT - on Thursday August the 5th, we have an outing planned. If you`re free, come join us at 93ft East where we are hosting the first `Recharged Radio: Live`. It`s free (obviously!!) and we`ll be broadcasting from there from 8pm. Line up will be Nathan Watson, Kah, Ross and the Wrongens and The Microdance. Bring all your friends. All of them. Everyone you know on Facebook....<br/><br/>You might have noticed that lately, we`ve been plugging our pocasts like mad (so much so, we`ve even made a commercial for them!) but the time has come, the walrus reminded us on Monday, to remind you that we also broadcast live from 7 most evenings! If you`re sitting at your computer (of undetermined marque), just nip over to rechargedradio.com and click the big red button. We`ll then entertain you while you... do... whatever it is that you`re doing at that moment in time. If you need a full schedule, check the website. It`s all there.<br/><br/>Finally, congrats to all the winners of the daily lyric game on the facebook page. Hopefully, you should have had all of the stuff we`ve bunged in the post to you by now. If you haven`t played yet and want to come play, please do! The first right answer gets a goodie envelope packed full of whatever we think you`ll be least offended by.<br/><br/>My work here is done. Keep yourself up to date in the usual places, we ramble quite often. Oh and recommended listening this week is Night Of The Artisans, on air tonight at 7pm. This is because Pete is back from a trip to Dublin, so I`m sure he has tales...<br/><br/>Love ya<br/><br/>Jord<br/><br/>MN2BDNC</span></p><h2><span>13.07.10 Tuesday Night Diner: The Dave and Chef Mike!</span></h2><h3><span>13/07/2010 06:57:03</span></h3><p><span>This seems to have been a banner few months for the Tuesday Night Diner—I`ve gotten to meet so many great musicians from right here in California—and debut their music right here on the show, even before it`s released to the public.<br/><br/>Dave Stephens is a Los Angeles-based singer / songwriter / producer / multiinstrumentalist. That`s a whole lot of slashes, isn`t it? But he deserves all those slashes, because he has all those talents!<br/><br/>Originally from British Columbia, Canada, he moved to L.A. several years ago to pursue his music career in the home of the American music industry. He released a couple of albums in the mid 2000`s, and is currently working on his third, the forthcoming summer release “Time Will Tell”. He describes his sound as something like “Billy Joel fronting Queen”. I describe his sound as great pop music—mixing classic elements with his own style and take on things. Some softer sounds, and some power pop in the mix. His well-crafted songs deserve your attention, and Dave was nice enough to share three pre-releases with us this week. We had a nice chat, and we`ll hear what inspires him.<br/><br/>If you happen to be in the Los Angeles area this Friday night, July 16th, you should try to catch his show at Trip in Santa Monica. This is the first time Dave`s played live in a while, since he`s been hard at work on this record. He`ll have his full band with him too, so it won`t just be the prototypical singer/songwriter sitting on the stool with an acoustic guitar. The man is prepared to rock the house, and to premiere the songs from his new album. Go there, say hi to The Dave, and tell him you heard him on Recharged Radio!<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/davestephensmusic<br/><br/>And just a quick program note—my show follows Rob One and the 20/20 Hip Hop show. Rob is on at 7:00 p.m. (GMT), then me at 8:00.<br/><br/>If you`d like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com.

Yeah, I`ve not added anything to the homepage recently and that`s changing from now.  I`ll be here at least before each show to let you know what`s going on, as well as afterwards to let you know what I played (also called a "playlist"...) and how and when to download/subscribe.<br/><br/>Speaking of what`s happening this week, we`ve got Larry Fulcher on the Wednesday show from 8-10 with a fantastic interview.  He`s done everything and played with everybody in the US blues and reggae scenes, as well as a fair bit of the UK crowd.  Definitely tune in on Wednesday at 8 GMT to get the first taste of that, and it`ll be podcasted afterwards in case you miss it (or you want to take it home!)<br/><br/>That`s me for now!  See you on Wednesday.<br/><br/>¬Justin Wayne<br/>Wednesdays 8-10pm GMT<br/>Between "Close to Nowhere" at 7pm and "The I Land Music Show" following me at 10-11.<br/><br/></span></p><h2><span>The Lyric Game</span></h2><h3><span>08/07/2010 15:29:57</span></h3><p><span>Don`t forget to play over at the facebook page. Daily prizes, which are free. <br/><br/>They might me awful, might be great. It`s the luck of the draw.<br/><br/>But you don`t know until you play... etc etc <br/><br/>facebook.com/rechargedradio</span></p><h2><span>Recharged Radio; Ok, we`re back in the midweek position</span></h2><h3><span>08/07/2010 11:35:27</span></h3><p><span>Come ON Thomas, finger out!!<br/><br/>Yes, back in the midweek. It`s a bit like missionary, just on a Wednesday.<br/><br/>Sorry.<br/><br/>Anyway, yes, what`s been going on... stuff and things... Well, firstly, we (as in everyone, together, at once) must say a BIG HUGE well done to Kah for presenting last Friday`s Forum. Considering she had never presented a radio programme ever before in her entire life, she did an excellent job and she should be proud. If you haven`t downloaded it yet, go and do it now. It`s on the Tunes of I (just use the handy drop-down list on rechargedradio.com, underneath the player).<br/><br/>Moving on to this Friday (while we`re still talking about Fridays), I won`t be here so Justin is going to be taking my place and doing The Friday Forum from his gaff. On the show (and I`ve been told to say this, on pain of death) will be "Mark Riley of EnfieldMusic.com and Metal Mumin" and apparently "I`m sure you can come up with something clever to say to that on the mailout...!". Well, I can try Justin; just can`t guarantee that it will translate to everyone. Nevermind. Anyway, all the times stay the same as will the music. Probably.<br/><br/>Other things that are happening on Planet Recharged include the quality of the coffee being totally dire this week, lots of entries on the Facebook Lyric Game (play daily to win BIG... pilesofstuffwehavinglyingaround) and also, going back to Kah for a second, we`re giving away her track `July Song`, every Friday throughout, er... July... (never ones to think of clever links. Low hanging fruit, darling...)... for FREE. All you have to do is click on the handy link on the Recharged Radio homepage during the Friday Forum and you`ll get it (a track, that is).<br/><br/>Reading this over, anyone would think we only broadcast on Fridays still...<br/><br/>..but we don`t! Most evenings have shows starting from 7pm now, so tune in when you want. Recommended listening this week is Close To Nowhere, with Pete Renzulo, which is on tonight from 7-8! This is one of the shows which we take from a far flung area of the globe (even though we`re in London we are actually aware of the world outside of the concrete doughnut that is the M25) and comes from Perth, Western Australia. Go Pete.<br/><br/>In fact, we have so many shows now, that the podcast bin is always full. Help yourself. It`s all free. Then go get to know the bands you hear on the shows. They`re quite friendly; they don`t bite. Not even the ones played on Metal Mumin`s show.<br/><br/>Finally, some bands that you need to check out (all on the Recharged playlist)<br/>- Bang Bangs<br/>- The Self Help Group<br/>- Cha Cha<br/>- Look, Stranger!<br/>- Darlings Of The Splitscreen<br/><br/>Right, that`s enough of me rambling rubbish at you.<br/><br/>Out.<br/><br/>Jord<br/><br/>MN2B-Driven Not Controlled</span></p><h2><span>06.07.10 Tuesday Night Diner: Pure Pop Bliss!</span></h2><h3><span>06/07/2010 05:44:29</span></h3><p><span>Well, over here in the States, we just had our 4th of July holiday weekend. In my neighborhood, we celebrated by having a big, old fashioned block party. We had music, fireworks, and your own Chef Mike cooking for the masses as part of a four man, five grill barbecue crew. As the proprietor of the Tuesday Night Diner, I take my duties very seriously!<br/><br/>On the music front, I discovered a couple of new dishes this very same weekend, and I`m going to serve them to you on this week`s show. These two artists represent different strains of what I like to call “pure pop bliss”. It`s music so good and infectious, you just want to share it with the entire world. Luckily, Recharged Radio allows me to do just this!<br/><br/>Nelson Bragg is a singer/songwriter who has made his mark on the Los Angeles melodic pop scene over the past decade, since relocating from Massachusetts. He`s played with many great bands there, and is a superb composer and arranger. Oh, and by the way—guess what his current job is? He`s the drummer/percussionist for Brian Wilson`s band. Yes, that Brian Wilson. God only knows how I didn`t become acquainted with him until now, but I`m thrilled that his label, SideB Music, was kind enough to reach out and put this great music into my hands. We`re going to hear a song off of his Day Into Night album that is complete ear candy. Beautiful, soaring high harmonies. Jangly guitars. A tasty steel guitar bridge. And a melody that will stay in your head throughout the work day and make you want to get off early and jump in the convertible (and if you don`t have one, any nearby convertible will do!) and ride down PCH (Pacific Coast Highway to those of you unfamiliar with California) with the wind in your hair, and the sun off to the west, over the water. Damn, I want to hear it again right now!<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/nelsonbragg<br/><br/>Clockwise is a four man Canadian band who traffic in the power pop end of the pop spectrum. It`s also pure bliss, but in the faster, heavier mold. They`ve been around for a while, but again, it took Jason, their astute PR person, to slap me around and wake me up to what I`ve been missing. These guys had my vote when I checked out their MySpace page and found that their influences include “Elvis—both of them”. They`ve put out three albums in the last decade. They`re veterans of several International Pop Overthrow festivals, so you know they`ve been road tested and approved. The track we`re going to hear on the show sounds like something from the heyday of artists like Elvis Costello and Graham Parker. It too will come in handy during your work day. If you can`t get away from your desk for a coffee break, just put on some Clockwise. You won`t need the caffeine—these guys will jolt you and keep you moving.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/clockwisecanada<br/><br/>And just a quick program—we have a full schedule this Tuesday—starting with Rob One and the 20/20 Hip Hop show before me at 7:00 p.m. (GMT), and Fiona Ledgard and the Anything Goes Evening Show after me at 10:00 p.m. (GMT). It should be a fun night!<br/><br/>If you`d like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com. If you`d like to become an honorary California citizen, drop me a line at the same address. And if you`d like to hear all this great music—simply tune in to the Tuesday Night Diner, Tuesday night, 8:00-10:00 p.m. (GMT), 12:00-2:00 p.m. Pacific, only at Recharged Radio—www.rechargedradio.com.<br/><br/>This note also appears in the News section on the home page of RechargedRadio.com.<br/><br/>See you then!<br/><br/>Chef Mike<br/>mike(at)rechargedradio.com<br/>MN2BDNC</span></p><h2><span>Recharged Radio: The Mailout; The Return!</span></h2><h3><span>04/07/2010 20:32:23</span></h3><p><span>I know, I admit it, I`ve been awful at these lately. I could make excuses but I can`t think of any that are vaguely valid so... yeah.<br/><br/>How are you? Good I hope. Hasn`t it been warm, etc, etc.. Mind you, on the subject of the weather, Dexter (our chinchilla) hasn`t been enjoying it too much. For a creature that comes from the mountains, in the cool, clear mountain air... Britain`s couple of weeks of muggy sunshine hasn`t improved his already bad temper one bit. Worst of all, he can`t come out for his usual long play as he gets too hot. A happy chinchilla, it does not make...<br/><br/>Hot pets aside, check our facebook page from time to time. We`re playing The Lyric Game on there. If you have no idea what The Lyric Game is, basically you have to guess the next lyric to a song OR state the Artist and Song Title. Come play along, it`s a bit of fun. The daily winner wins free stuff. We can`t guarantee that you`ll like the prize. Just know it`s free and is Sent With Love.<br/><br/>Show wise (cos that`s why we`re here, not just to prat around on Facebook when we should be doing other things), we now more or less have at least two shows per evening. This means, I`m going to be REALLY lazy and tell you to go and check the schedule over on rechargedradio.com. Just tune in at 7pm in the evening. That`s all you need to know.<br/><br/>Finally, we have a run of Free Recharged Radio gigs coming up at The Wonderful 93Ft East over the next few months, which will be featuring your favourite RR bands. So, if you can`t get down to any other gigs, come along. It`ll be great to share a drink and listen to music! Also, as ever, there will probably be free things to get your mitts on (as you can no doubt tell, we have a bit of a problem with making people pay for things).<br/><br/>And finally, finally ...tonight on The Friday Forum, as well as it being New Subs Show, we have the wonderful Kah guest-presenting. She`s very nervous but I`m sure you`ll wish her well!! Tune in from 7pm.<br/><br/>Music Needs To Be Driven Not Controlled.<br/><br/>Jord :)</span></p><h2><span>Change of plan...</span></h2><h3><span>01/07/2010 18:56:59</span></h3><p><span>Unfortunately, Pete Robbins won`t be joining us this evening for Night Of The Artisans as he`s off playing a gig! <br/><br/>However, we will be airing Music From Another Land, as well as Feed My Face Space (in case anyone missed them this week).<br/><br/>Wouldn`t want to leave you in silence!! <br/><br/>Laters!<br/><br/>Jord</span></p><h2><span>Streaming problems over the last few nights... </span></h2><h3><span>01/07/2010 11:57:40</span></h3><p><span>Apo-lo-gies but we`ve had a few tech issues here this week! Hopefully these have been resolved now and we can get back to work!<br/><br/>If you did miss any shows, they will (as always!) be up on the listen again player over the next few days and of course, will be up in podcast form for you to take on the bus. <br/><br/>Anyway, in lighter news, well done to *takes breath* Jandré Johtaa Kitaristi Killian for winning today`s lyric game over on t`facebewk page. To win free things, play along daily (and be down with the kids... or show off your musical geekerey). <br/><br/>Finally, tonight we have Pete Robbins on air from 7pm! Tune in!<br/><br/>Jord. <br/><br/></span></p><h2><span>TODAY`S LYRIC GAME WINNER</span></h2><h3><span>30/06/2010 10:50:10</span></h3><p><span>Well done to Slavomir Bachraty (Coolhunter) for getting todays` lyric game! Correct answer was `The Wallflowers - One Headlight`, from their 1997 album `Bringing Down The Horse`</span></p><h2><span>29.06.10 Tuesday Night Diner: Vegas With Randolph Edition!</span></h2><h3><span>29/06/2010 05:43:20</span></h3><p><span>Washington, D.C. What do you think of? Well, if you`re American, you think of our nation`s capital: gleaming monuments to presidents and wars past, stately buildings, the White House, the Capitol Building, the Supreme Court, the Pentagon, and the Treasury Department. You also think of powerful politicians and the overzealous lobbyists and press corps trying to get to them (and usually succeeding). The corridors of power.<br/><br/>I was there once, years ago. It was a brief, four day trip. Not nearly enough to see even a good chunk of it. I saw a few monuments—for instance, the Lincoln Memorial. It`s depicted on the back of the U.S. penny. It`s much larger than that in real life. I also saw the Smithsonian Institution—our nation`s greatest collection of museums. It`s got 19 museums and 9 research centers. On this brief trip, I decided to devote an entire hour and a half to it. This was right after eating really gooey, sticky ribs at an outdoor street festival. Needless to say, the guards looked askance at me, and it was all they could do to keep me from touching the antiquities with my barbeque sauce-coated hands.<br/><br/>So years later, I washed up, got into radio, and found a band that hails from right there-the Washington, D.C. area. They`re called Vegas With Randolph, and they do great power pop-soaked tunes. Their debut album came out a couple of years ago, and we`ve been playing them on the Diner. They`re currently recording tracks for their follow up, and issuing them one by one, like Presidential vetoes and pardons. Only these songs are more fun than any U.S. President could ever think up.<br/><br/>We`ll get to chat with Eric Kern and John Ratts, the principal songwriters, and find out what drives their music. They`ve been kind enough to let us preview three tracks off their forthcoming release. I think you`ll like them.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/vegaswithrandolph<br/><br/>And don`t forget—there`s tons of other great music on this week`s show as well. You won`t want to miss it.<br/><br/>If you`d like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com. If you`d like to become an honorary California citizen, drop me a line at the same address. And if you`d like to hear all this great music—simply tune in to the Tuesday Night Diner, Tuesday night, 8:00-10:00 p.m. (GMT), 12:00-2:00 p.m. Pacific, only at Recharged Radio—www.rechargedradio.com.<br/><br/>See you then!<br/><br/>Chef Mike<br/>mike(at)rechargedradio.com<br/>MN2BDNC</span></p><h2><span>Lack of mailout...</span></h2><h3><span>28/06/2010 16:12:21</span></h3><p><span>Apologies for the lack of a weekly round up from me last week. This is due to some lame excuse (mostly being technical failure... dear me). <br/><br/>Will be sending one shortly so sit tight!<br/><br/>Also, well done to Jandré for winning today`s lyric game on facebook! He wins a CD and some other stuff (assorted). To play, head on over to facebook.com/rechargedradio. <br/><br/>Tonight, we have The Scene According to The Dash from 7 until 8, then one of Alex`s lovely record label showcases from 8 until 9!<br/><br/>Lots of love, kisses and other manly things...<br/><br/>Jord </span></p><h2><span>Arbutus Records Special!</span></h2><h3><span>27/06/2010 22:27:13</span></h3><p><span>Evening one and all!<br/><br/>Just a quick note to say from 7pm - 8pm tomorrow evening we have `The Scene According to The Dash`!<br/><br/>Then keep it locked for the `Arbutus Records Special` at 8pm!

You only had two listening choices—either listen to my show, or listen to nothing. Many of you chose to listen to my show, even ahead of nothing, and I`m grateful for that. It`s always been a thrill to be on the air, but I am no longer alone—I`m now surrounded by greatness!<br/><br/>The legendary Rob One, of the 20/20 Hip Hop show made his mark on Sunday nights. Well, we of the Tuesday nights snagged him away from weekend land, and on to the bright lights of the week nights! He`ll be starting off your Tuesday nights at 7:00 p.m. GMT, right before my show.<br/><br/>Fiona Ledgard is another radio legend in the making. She started her Manchester-based Anything Goes Evening Show a couple of months ago, and she`s on fortnightly (that`s every other week to us Americans). She comes on right after my show, at 10:00 p.m. GMT, and does an amazing variety of interviews, live sessions, and interesting music. She`s not afraid to get out into the field, and record it all for us studio-bound types. This is the week she`s on with us--we guys are going to have to be on our best behavior when there`s a lady in the room!<br/><br/>Oh—and the music. That`s what my show, Tuesday Night Diner, is all about. This week`s show is chock full of great tunes. Many different genres are represented.<br/><br/>Kate Burkart is a San Francisco Bay Area-based singer/songwriter. Interestingly enough—you don`t often see singer/songwriters pictured on their album cover photos with a Fender bass, rather than the typical acoustic guitar. Her crystal-clear singing voice was recorded in a very intimate manner that I think will reach out to you and gently demand your attention. Her album Faith To Fall features eleven original compositions about love and lost love, and how you deal with it all in a dignified manner. Some great Bay Area musicians were called in to help craft this fine album, and we`ll hear a track off of it as our “appetizer” on this week`s show.<br/><br/>www.kateburkart.com<br/><br/>A couple of other highlights—Pete Hackett once again barricaded himself in the Cult of Wedge bunker, deep in the West Midlands, and refused to come out until a great pop song emerged. And this new gem is sort of an English World Cup Football song—but catchy and groove-laden enough that even us “soccer”-impaired Americans can appreciate it too. And if that isn`t enough—check out the backing vocals by Maxi Dunn herself!<br/><br/>www.myspace.com/cultofwedge<br/>www.maxidunn.info<br/><br/>And finally—being all caught up in the excitement of last week`s double interview/session show, I completely forgot to play one of the most exciting tracks we`ve found in a great while. The band is called Man or Mouse?, and I was called a “tool” when I fessed up to forgetting to play them last week. Well, I`ve corrected that this week. I`ll be playing a track of theirs that is so great, you`ll be kissing perfect strangers on the street and playing air guitar, vocals, and drums in front of your mirror when you should be dressing for work.<br/><br/>www.myspace.com/manormouse1<br/><br/>If you`d like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com.

We start to feel like moles... occasionally coming up at night to feed..`<br/><br/>Mind you, saying that, it does get a bit like that in the winter. You can also make a comparison to a coal mine... but we do get to listen to an awful lot of great music and do fun stuff so it balances out.<br/><br/>Anyway.<br/><br/>Apologies for the short email last week! I think I found myself fixing a million problems at once as well as doing all the usual weekly activities thhat I simply ran out of time but on the plus side, the Look, Bricklanger! gig was a massive success for the band (Look, Stranger!) with people STILL coming through the doors when we were packing up and off home to catch last trains and whatnot.  If you missed the broadcast and are wondering where on earth the podcast version is, rest assured it`s on its way. We broadcast for five hours solid; we`re doing a spot of editing. Won`t be long!<br/><br/>On Monday, Alex put together another one of his superb Independent Record Label showcases, this time focussing on Series Two records, from Omaha, Nebraska.  There were some fabulous tunes on there, so please make sure you check it out on the podcast and visit myspace.com/seriestworecords.<br/><br/>On Tuesday (!), we did some rearranging of the furniture at Recharged. From now on, 20-20 will be live from 7-8pm on Tuesdays! Rob One was happy, even though he said it was some `sick dope`... Speaking of Mr. One, he found himself on BBC London on Wednesday morning doing the papers. From hip-hop to BBC London Breakfast... go figure... anyway, Rob made it work. He said it was `dope`. Insert your own joke about the tabloid headlines here...<br/><br/>Fun things for the next few weeks include the brand new Never Enough Notes podcast shorts, which will also be broadcast every night of the week on Recharged Radio! Kim, from the website of the same name (Never Enough Notes, not a website called `Kim`) will be giving her thoughts on what she reckons you should be listening to at the moment and<br/>again, make sure you check out her website neverenoughnotes.co.uk.<br/><br/>In other news, The Lovely Eggs will be coming to The Cirque De Creme Anglaise on the 20th of August so well done Clayton, Alex, Neil and the other two whose names escape me from The Furbelows (they run the night) and if you miss that, they`re (The Lovely Eggs, that is) playing the Buffalo Bar on the 21st with Tom and Martyn from Club Fandango (in a side note, Martyn is way cooler than Tom cos Martyn is Welsh like me).<br/><br/>Finally, Dave needs a special mention because he`s been overworked the past few weeks so everyone send Dave an email saying `I love your beard.` No, seriously do. I want to see if I can scare him by the power of mailout.<br/><br/>Schedule coming up...!<br/><br/>Speak soon!<br/><br/>Jord<br/><br/>MN2BDNC<br/><br/>Schedule (all times are GMT and pm!)<br/><br/>Mondays:<br/>7-8 - The Scene According To The Dash<br/>8-9 - Live Zone, with `Black` Jack Fratini<br/><br/>Tuesdays:<br/>7-8 - 20-20!

So much musical dining pleasure, we probably won`t even have room for dessert.<br/><br/>Our first treat is an interview with New York City singer/songwriter Mark Bacino. Mark has been plying the power pop waters for many years in the big city borough of Manhattan. Then, family life beckoned. He celebrates his and his young family`s return to his home borough of Queens, NYC with a brand new album called “Queens English”. This is a nifty little journey through the Great American Songbook. Flourishes of ragtime and power pop, shades of Randy Newman and The Raspberries. A New York native friend of mine told me that “Queens English” was an early tongue spoken by her family! A fun album, and a fun conversation with Mark!<br/><br/>http://www.markbacino.com<br/><br/>And just when you thought that you were full—you`d better save room for an in-studio session with Sacramento-based singer/songwriters Adrian Bourgeois and Ricky Berger. These up and coming young artists have really garnered a lot of well-deserved good press around these parts, and you`re about to learn why. Both accomplished, talented musicians and songwriters, they chat with me in-studio about their recently-completed two month driving tour of the United States. You`ll hear them perform three of their songs live for you.<br/><br/>http://www.adrianbourgeois.com<br/>http://www.myspace.com/rickyberger<br/><br/>And one thing that isn`t on the menu, but ego requires me to mention it. My American radio show, Twirl Radio, was featured in a vlog (video blog to us newbies to the media) on YouTube. My longtime friend, video producer Rich Samuels, made it up to Sacramento from Los Angeles, and featured all of the above action in an episode of The World According To Rich.

What in the world is that crazy Chef Mike talking about now? Is it heat stroke? Nope—I`m staying hydrated. Old age? Naah—my age is still in the double-digits! Boredom? Well, it`s definitely not boredom—how could I be bored when I`m playing The Big I Am, Fake Teak, and Mad Tea Party on this week`s Tuesday Night Diner?<br/><br/>The Big I Am are an acoustic trio from Liverpool, led by Peter McPartland. I`ve been aware of them for over a year now, but they`ve sort of been under my radar for no good reason, except that Pete is a really nice guy, not very pushy at all. So long story slightly less long—I did this special radio program on the International Pop Overthrow Liverpool festival. Only after it was all in the can, and ready for airplay, did I realize that TBIA was one of the many great acts playing there. They did the requisite two sets at the Cavern Club, apparently did a great job, and were yet again under my radar. Tactical error on my part, which I have since corrected. Pete sent me a dozen songs—very melodic, acoustic folk gems, and we`ll hear one of them on this week`s show.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/bigiamrash<br/><br/>I`m kind of an electronics/computer/music/radio geek. Okay, you probably already knew that. And I`ve always wondered to myself, “is there a band out there that describes their music as `A planeload of seventies computers crashing into a Clash gig`?” Fortunately, such a band exists—Fake Teak! Andrew Wyld and company have this really cool, synth-driven electronic sound, and the few songs I`ve heard of theirs have a high tech sheen. They sing of such things as transistors and circuitry, so what`s not to love? I`m as rootsy as the next American, but these guys are just downright cool! This London band recorded some songs at Steve Honest`s studio, and you won`t want to miss this week`s pilgrimage to the Church of Steve Honest!<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/faketeak<br/><br/>Anybody who`s been listening to my radio shows for the past couple of years knows that Asheville, North Carolina`s Mad Tea Party are one of my favorite bands. They are a rootsy, upbeat duo who sound more like a trio or quartet. Ami Worthen writes incredibly witty songs, and plays a ukulele with flames painted on it. Jason Krekel is a multitasking guitarist/foot drummer, who`s even played both of those instruments AND harmonica at the same time! I know—I`ve seen it in person.

There is a lot to be happy for, but a couple of things stand out. New tracks to play this week from Raistalla, The Clutter Family, Rob Swanson, Shabby Rogue, as well as a brand new release from Mark Bacino.<br/><br/>Out of all my friends, only one can say they`ve toured with Madonna, Gwen Stefani, and Britney Spears, and that would be dancer Raistalla. But she`s also a musician, and she snuck me a sneak preview of her latest track.<br/><br/>http://www.last.fm/music/Raistalla<br/><br/>The Clutter Family is led by L.A. based comedy writer/comedian Jim Earl. We`ll hear the first track off of their novelty song laden debut.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/theclutterfamily<br/><br/>Rob Swanson is a rootsy, Americana singer-songwriter based in Colorado. We became friends a couple of years ago, and he occasionally sends some tracks down the mountain for this valley boy to play on the radio, and we`ll spin his latest.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/robswan99<br/><br/>Alex, our head of music, just sent me a track for consideration by Shabby Rogue. I hadn`t heard of them before. The track started out kind of slow, which often means “pass” for me. However, if Alex picked it, I knew there was a reason. You don`t question Alex`s taste. And good thing for me, because this smoker of a tune builds to a full head of steam, and you realize it ended up somewhere quite different from where it starts. We`ll give a listen on this week`s show.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/shabbyrogue<br/><br/>Vegas With Randolph has been around for a few years, based out the greater Washington, D.C. Area. They were kind of enough to discover me and send me their self-titled album. Mark Bacino`s Queens English album just came out a week or so ago, and it`s getting rave reviews. So what do Vegas With Randolph and Mark Bacino have in common? They each have a song called “Happy”, and you`ll hear them both on this week`s show.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/vegaswithrandolph<br/>http://www.markbacino.com<br/><br/>If you`d like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com.

This will be reported in true politician-speak because as all reporting systems go, it`s not 100% accurate but it`s as near as we can get it.<br/><br/>So, last month, we had roughly 6500 downloads of all Recharged Radio shows. However, this isn`t a precise total as there were some avenues of reporting that weren`t able to be counted due to a variety of reasons... but we didn`t think that was too shabby for a month`s work.<br/><br/>And now - a small appeal.<br/><br/>If you haven`t done so already, tell everyone you know about Recharged Radio. If you know us, you`ll know that we truly believe in the music (and various orbiting music related things) that we do promote. If you don`t know us, well get to know us. We`re quite friendly. Many of the bands that you hear on Recharged Radio CAN`T be heard with any great frequency in other places. We don`t state this enough. It`s true. Also, our bands aren`t `unsigned` - they`re independent. Since when does a piece of music need to be `signed` to move you?<br/><br/>Speaking of moving, I`m sure you`re going to be going to some other country at some point over the summer and there will be some form of travelling in something with seats and a wealth of the latest Disney films and/or Father Ted. Here`s a tip, stock your ipod or whatever up with Recharged Radio`s shows in podcast form. It should make the time... fly...<br/><br/>Finally, I`ve been doing an Alex lately and reading Jim Morrison`s biography (it was in the bookcase and I was curious... I don`t make too much of a habit of reading rock biographies, don`t worry!). Anyway, I was sitting on the train last night and came across this little thing he said in an interview in 1971. I think it stands as true today as it did back then...<br/><br/>"What the people want right now is a band that`s just totally casting aside the past and all the music business associations. They have to say `We`re doing this for a reason. It`s not cos we want to make bread off you people.` They [rock fans] want to feel that the group is a part of their community, rather than something laid on from somewhere<br/>else"<br/><br/>Think on...<br/><br/>Jord<br/><br/>Schedule:<br/>Tonight, 7-9pm - The Friday Forum - Oh!Gunquit have had to cancel due to illness, unfortunately!

The International Pop Overthrow (IPO) Liverpool festival is a yearly chance for music fans to hear over 120 bands in about a week`s time, all for free, at the world famous Cavern Club and Pub. You know, the place that launched the Beatles! The festival runs from May 25 through June 1, and you won`t want to miss it.<br/><br/>www.internationalpopoverthrow.com<br/><br/>To celebrate, we`ll do a radio show within a radio show! This 40+ minute program is jam packed with interviews with a few of the artists who will grace the stage of the world renowned Cavern Club. We’ll also hear their music, and a special interview with the IPO’s founder, David Bash. I chatted with folks in four different countries, and can’t wait for you to hear what it all sounds like!<br/> I`m especially excited about Maxi Dunn and Laurie Biagini performing on the same stage together, and Peter Hackett playing in Maxi`s band during her sets! I also had the chance to chat with Fabrizio and Andrea from the Italian band Soundserif. And lastly, one of our up and coming favorite bands, Buzz Radio, will also have their place on the main stage as well!<br/><br/>www.maxidunn.info<br/>www.myspace.com/lauriebiaginimusic<br/><br/>www.myspace.com/soundserif<br/>www.myspace.com/1buzzradio<br/><br/>I can`t be there, because I`m 5,000 miles away.

It`s a pretty big place—if you don`t believe me, just Google a map of the United States with state names on it. It takes up more than half of the West Coast. If you superimposed it on the East Coast, it would literally stretch from New York City to southern Georgia. Wow.<br/><br/>http://www.historymania.com/american_history/upload/thumb/a/a0/800px-Map_of_USA_showing_state_names.png<br/><br/>Okay, enough of the geography lesson for today. But since it`s such a big place, I thought I`d represent both halves of it in tonight`s show.<br/><br/>When I first met the Corner Laughers a few months ago, they surprised me and brought along the legendary KC Bowman. They just introduced him as “KC Bowman”, but as the interview progressed, they started referring to him as legendary, and it just kind of stuck in my head that way. I almost can`t think of his name without putting “legendary” in front of it!<br/><br/>KC is from the San Francisco Bay Area, and has made quirky, intellectual pop music his stock in trade. He`s in a band called the Preoccupied Pipers, he`s in a new project with various Corner Laughers called the Agony Aunts, and he`s made some brilliant, sunny pop records on his own. His clever lyrics are noteworthy. Sometimes the songs are short—about a minute or so—always leaving you wanting more. Well, for those who want more—just play it twice! He sent me his late 1990`s album Fresher Tin Villages, and we`ll feature one of the tracks on this week`s show.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/preoccupiedpipers<br/><br/>Also—check out this great review at: http://popfair.blogspot.com/2009/07/there-lot-of-people-who-havent-yet.html<br/><br/>Nashville, Tennessee. Music City. The world`s capital of country music. Nope, it`s not in California, and there`s a reason for that. Tennessee is wide where California is tall—and therefore, it simply won`t fit! But besides the geographic contrast in the shapes of the two states, there`s a difference in musical styles as well. Although some of the best-known classic country music was made in Nashville—and to their credit, is still the predominant musical style on the Grand OleOpry (broadcast every Saturday night)--at some point, things changed in Nashville. It wasn`t recent—it happened somewhere in the 1970s or 1980s. A good example is the legendary Dwight Yoakam. He couldn`t find musical success in Nashville—legend has it that he was told that his sound was “too country”. Pathetic. But obviously not debilitating. He simply moved to Los Angeles, and became a huge superstar. His biggest influences included Buck Owens and Merle Haggard (Bakersfield, California).<br/><br/>I told you that to tell you this. Skip Heller wrote and performed the single finest country song I`ve heard in the last decade. And he`s based in Los Angeles. So there! I was kind of surprised to read in one of his biographies online that he started in jazz, back in Philadelphia. And he mentioned to me once that he had the honor of playing in NRBQ for a short time, filling in for Johnny Spampinato. You need serious chops to keep up with those guys! Like Dwight—his music actually means something. It`s not that fluffy Southern pop that comes out of Nashville. It`s painstakingly-crafted songwriting that reaches into the inner depths of your soul, and makes you feel something. And it sounds good too. If you`re not a country fan—do me just this one favor. Listen to Skip Heller. It might change the way you think about this genre. Oh yeah—that great song I mentioned? I`ll be playing it on this week show for you!<br/><br/>http://www.skipheller.com/<br/><br/>If you`d like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com.

That is all.<br/><br/>ANYway.<br/><br/>The Great/Alternative Escape was...great... last week and a...great... time was has by all. Mentions in dispatches must go to Dan Isaac, who choreographed it all to perfection (as usual). He`s off to live in Philadelphia (the place, not the horrid cheese) this week so everyone drop him a bon voyage message! dan@rechargedradio.com. However, he`s not leaving us, merely relocating and doing stuff from the other side of the pond! Back to the GE however, a massive thank you must also go to The Self Help Group, JESPA, 50Ft Woman, The Little Philistines, The Scratch and Projekt...and also The Vaudeville,  who turned up due to a crap promoter double booking the night - so we let them play anyway! 7 bands... not bad for one night.<br/><br/>So, stuff to look forward to this week includes Robinson on Night Of The Artisans this week! Also in town are The Cutaways; I`m not usually in the habit of plugging gigs in this mailout but this band are only ever in London once in a blue moon (as they`re from Belfast) so if you can, do go see them at The Buffalo Bar tomorrow night.

Well I certainly missed you! You see, Tuesday Night Diner was preempted last week, and for a very good cause—a live event! It was a gig—several bands on the bill—to protest the BBC shutting down BBC6 radio. Although the politics of this escape me—a good radio station being shut down, and perhaps a lousy one being put up in its place—that sort of thing could never happen here in America (okay—attempting to pull tongue out of cheek now)--live, unadulterated radio, beaming across the globe is a beautiful thing. I was happy to make way for this Recharged Radio event.<br/><br/>But that was then, and this is now. Your very own personal Chef Mike is back to reclaim my spot on the air, and I`ve got a stellar lineup of music for you.<br/><br/>Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Beth Thornley put out a stunning album this year called Wash U Clean. Melodic, mostly piano-driven tunes that stay with you long after you turn off your music player—seriously, I`ve gone for long walks with Beth`s tunes playing in my head! The album was carefully crafted by producer Rob Cairns. But did you know that Beth is aspiring to be an etymologist? Well, perhaps not really—etymology is the study of words and their origins. But some etymologist is going to be studying a phrase that Beth coined in the track that we`ll be playing on this week`s show.<br/><br/>www.beththornley.com<br/><br/>Time for some hometown pride. Yes indeed, a couple of acts originally from Northern California are going to be performing live next Monday, May 17th, at our home base of Maple St. Studios in London. Former Sacramentan Anton Barbeau, who`s something of a legend around these parts, now lives in the UK. He`ll be bringing his quirky, good-natured brand of Robyn Hitchcock-influenced tunes to our flagship studios. (For an advance, check out the “Ant `N Al” edition of Tuesday Night Diner on the Listen Again player on the home page of www.rechargedradio.com.) We`ll hear one of the tracks off of his current album, Plastic Guitar.<br/><br/>www.antonbarbeau.com<br/><br/>Half of the San Francisco-based Corner Laughers—Karla Kane and Khoi Huynh, are touring the UK, and will also be at Maple St. that night. For those of you not yet in the know, their current album Ultraviolet Garden is a standout in the bumper crop of excellent albums I`ve received this year (sorry, everybody else!). Who else but the Laughers could create intellectual, quirky, bouncy and moody alternative pop tunes armed with nothing but guitar, bass, drums, and ukulele! Oh yeah, and their perfect girl-pop harmonies and gift for clever lyrics. We`ll hear a representative track off of Ultraviolet Garden.<br/><br/>www.cornerlaughers.com<br/><br/>If you`d like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com.

I remember it clearly. That was the night I saw a band for the first time. That band was called Revere. This eight piece band was one of numerous support acts for the latest singer to win a TV talent show (Tommy Reilly). The venue was packed to the rafters. We were waiting the winner of the show to appear, enjoying the support act and soon the last support act of the night arrived on stage - all eight of them! Along with the usual staple band diet came a violin, trumpet and a cello. I looked around and noticed people applauding them. They were being shown some respect and they seemed to have a decent following. The lead singer stood at the microphone wearing a waistcoat and my head said “a waistcoat? Let`s get out of here!” Luckily I never listened to that head of mine.<br/><br/>I highly recommend you check this band out especially if you are into bands such as Spiritualized or Radiohead; it was a pleasant surprise in listening to these guys and I will go and see them again. Their current single is The Escape Artist - which you can hear on youtube right now! <br/><br/>Mark - The Regular Music Fan"</span></p><h2><span>Slight change to tonight`s line up...</span></h2><h3><span>06/05/2010 09:14:09</span></h3><p><span>Due to next week`s Alternative (but still Great) Escape antics, tonight`s shows now run thus:<br/><br/>7-8pm - Night Of The Artisans<br/>8-9pm - Metal Mumin<br/><br/>that is all. <br/><br/>Out. </span></p><h2><span>Tonights Show!</span></h2><h3><span>04/05/2010 19:31:09</span></h3><p><span>We are live!!!<br/><br/>Much Love<br/><br/>Dave</span></p><h2><span>Tonights Show!</span></h2><h3><span>04/05/2010 19:25:04</span></h3><p><span>Is running a little late, never fear our minions are working overtime to bring you the show as soon as we can :D<br/><br/>Much Love<br/><br/>Dave</span></p><h2><span>No Tuesday Night Diner this week--but for a very good cause!</span></h2><h3><span>04/05/2010 05:11:47</span></h3><p><span>Yes, it`s true--I won`t be on the air here at Recharged Radio this week--but there`s a darn good reason.

Well and truly mental (in the vernacular).<br/><br/>However, I`m very glad that it is late as I can talk about something that happened on the Friday Forum last night. We had a world exclusive (and before you say it, it wasn`t that Alex brought biscuits rather than sweets). Jo Hamilton was live in session and brought along one of these babies - http://airpiano.de/ - it was a prototype (the second one ever made, apparently) and the first time it had ever been played on radio. Honestly, it was something special to watch, so if you didn`t catch the show last night make sure you get it on the listen again player. I do try to explain what it was like to watch Jo play the thing (the vids on the aforementioned link don`t do it justice) but I think it was Roland who muttered "It`s like Tai-Chi", so that`s a fairly good comparison. My comparison was `like watching the blue thing from the 5th Element`... which sort of give you an idea. Sort of.<br/><br/>Anyway, if you want to see Jo playing the thing live, check out her live dates here - http://johamilton.com/live.php<br/><br/>In other news, Monday sees Today Is Boring filling its monthly slot - we decided to give you something to look forward to at the end of Bank Holiday Monday!! Tree and Adam are joined by film director Jake West (director of Doghouse) and Hamish McApline (head honcho of Tartan Films) to have a chat about film, movies that they have seen lately and also, to pay tribute to Malcom Maclaren. Also, Adam has asked anyone who was affected by Maclaren in any way, shape or form, to head over to the Today Is Boring Facebook page and leave a small note there (http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=5005654460&ref=ts) which they will then read out on the next show.<br/><br/>And finally (in this short but informative mailout!), on Tuesday we`re doing a live broadcast from 93Ft East for the Save 6 Music gig. Whoo! We`re on from 7pm until the end (whenever that is) so if you can`t come down, tune in! Bands playing live include Redtrack and the superb We Rock Like Girls Don`t.<br/><br/>Here`s the schedule:<br/><br/>Sunday, 5-7pm - The Music Unleashed Top 40<br/>            7-8pm - 2020, with Rob One<br/>Monday, 8-9pm - Today Is Boring, with Tree and Adam Carr<br/>Tuesday, 7-..er.. - Live From 93Ft East!<br/>Wednesday, 8-10pm - The Justin Wayne Show<br/>                  10-11pm - I Land Music, with Rodrigo<br/>Thursday, 7-9pm - Night Of The Artisans Radio Programme, with Pete Robbins<br/>Friday, 7-9pm - The Friday Forum, with me and some assorted members of Recharged (but definitely Alex)<br/><br/>Have a good weekend!<br/><br/>Jord<br/><br/>PS - Minki and Andy off of The Scratch went to see Adam Ant last night... and they enjoyed themselves very very very very very much.<br/>PPS - If you want a copy of the Bands In The Basement CD, just send your address to studio@rechargedradio.com and we`ll stick one in the post to you, for free, wherever you are in the world!<br/><br/>Rechargedradio.com - Music Needs To Be Driven, Not Controlled (and don`t you forget it!)</span></p><h2><span>Player Updates!

(21 episodes of age, that is.)<br/><br/>Here in the United States, 21 is the legal age for such adult-type activities as drinking and gambling. So how should we celebrate such an auspicious occasion? Are we going to take Tuesday Night Diner to Las Vegas, buy it a drink, take it to dinner and a show, and then help it squander all of its money away in a casino?<br/><br/>As intellectual and uplifting as all that sounds, I think we`d better just stick to what we know best—loading you up with some of the finest indie music available today.<br/><br/>Joey Oskys is a singer-songwriter from London. His firsthand human experiences come through in his songwriting. This week, however, he`s going to let the guitar do all the talking. We`ve got an incredibly expressive instrumental that really should be considered for placement in TV or the movies. I`m thinking specifically that the American television series House (featuring British actor Hugh Laurie, doing a perfect American accent) would be the perfect vehicle for this track. I`d love to see if you agree.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/joeyoskys<br/><br/>After a dry spell of several weeks, someone`s finally asked old Chef Mike for a request. This means that Waitress Shirley will finally get to say “Can I take your order, Hon”! My friend Rob in Colorado asked for a track by an amazing young vocalist, Katelyn Berreth, and there`s always room for her in the mix. She moves effortlessly between pop and jazz sounds, with a rich, seasoned voice that`s much more polished and mature than the 19 years of age she was when she recorded the track we`ll hear this week.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/katelynberreth<br/><br/>We`re going to hear the first of many live sessions recorded at the Church of Steve Honest! Legendary impresario Steve Honest has kindly agreed to record live sessions with all sorts of great musicians for us at Recharged Radio. The first one I`m going to play for you this week involved Fake Teak. Don`t miss it—it`s truly worth a listen. Can I get a witness?<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/stevehonest<br/>http://www.myspace.com/faketeak<br/>http://www.tourdates.co.uk/fake-teak<br/><br/>And finally—the moment you`ve been waiting for: Fiona Ledgard`s Anything Goes Evening Show—following immediately after Tuesday Night Diner. Last week, I got so excited about her show that I announced that she`d be on that night. Silly me—she`s on fortnightly. This is the week that she`s on, and her show`s well worth the wait. She has interviews with musicians, artists, and filmmakers. She plays great music. All in one hour—talk about efficiency—I`m not sure how she squeezes it all in—perhaps she uses some secret algorithm to mess with the space-time continuum!<br/><br/>If you`d like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com. If you`d like to become an honorary California citizen, drop me a line at the same address. And if you`d like to hear all this great music—simply tune in to the Tuesday Night Diner, Tuesday night, 8:00-10:00 p.m. (GMT), 12:00-2:00 p.m. Pacific, only at Recharged Radio—www.rechargedradio.com.<br/><br/>See you then!<br/><br/>Chef Mike<br/>mike(at)rechargedradio.com<br/>MN2BDNC<br/></span></p><h2><span>Recharged Radio`s Slightly Later Than Usual Mailout!</span></h2><h3><span>22/04/2010 20:47:24</span></h3><p><span>Ello,<br/><br/>How are you? Hope you are well and all that sort of thing. I just want to point out, before we get into the main part of this email, that is 10:16 and I`m eating Monster Munch. Don`t worry, I`ve had breakfast... just a tad peckish. However, it always seems a little weird to me to eat crisps before 11am. I`m not sure why. Anyone else have weird food routines? Answers on a postcard.<br/><br/>So the awards went well! Packed venue, empty bar - that`s what we like to see! A huge thank you to everyone who was involved with the night (there are many of you but if you know you were involved in any way, consider yourself thanked). I must single out two people for embarrassment, however - Minki and Dan - for holding the whole show together and making it fly. Everyone should write them a note and say `tar very much, like.` Also, a huge thank you to Sean at 93Ft East for making the magic (tm) happen.<br/><br/>Our next big, huge event is now The Great Escape Fest in Brighton on the 13th of May. Details are being finalised as we speak but the line ups run thus:<br/><br/>Afternoon, Northern Lights, with Pete Robbins` Night [Afternoon] Of The Artisans (2-4pm) - Tom Copson, Anna Neale and Nathan Watson <br/><br/>Evening, The Live Lounge, with the usual RR suspects (7-11pm) - The Little Philistines, JESPA, Projekt, The Self Help Group, 50Ft Woman and The Scratch.<br/><br/>Come one, come all!<br/><br/>Also, we have copies of The Bands In The Basement Vol. 1 to give away for FREE. Just send your address to studio@rechargedradio.com and we`ll stick one in the post to you. Don`t worry about us giving away your details to junk mail companies - our memories aren`t as good as to remember something that long.<br/><br/>Finally, as ever (I seem to be saying this alot these days!) keep an eye out for new shows starting on RR. We can pretty much guarantee we have something every night of the week now so just switch on at 7 and see what`s happening!<br/><br/>This week`s schedule<br/><br/>Tonight, 7-9pm - Night Of The Artisans Radio Programme, with Pete Robbins<br/>Tomorrow, 7-9pm - The Friday Forum, with Look, Stranger!<br/>Saturday, 8-9pm - Hits Of The Near Future, with Andy Quirk<br/>Sunday, 5-7pm - The Music Unleashed Top 40<br/>            7-8pm - 20-20, with Rob One<br/>Monday, 7-8pm - The Scene according to The Dash... with The Dash<br/>Tuesday, 8-10pm - Tuesday Night Diner, with Mike Lidskin<br/>            10-11pm - The Anything Goes Evening Show, with Fi Legard<br/><br/>And that`s that for the time being!<br/><br/>MN2BDNC<br/><br/>Jord<br/><br/>rechargedradio.com = good for your soul.</span></p><h2><span>20.04.10 Tuesday Night Diner Show #20: How can you have any pudding if you don`t eat your meat?!</span></h2><h3><span>20/04/2010 05:57:00</span></h3><p><span>Being a diner, albeit a musical one, I`m always interested in providing you with a well-balanced meal. And as the evil headmaster at the end of a certain Pink Floyd song once rhetorically asked, “how can you have any pudding if you don`t eat your meat?!” That was pretty traumatic for me, and I`m sure it stunted the growth of a generation or two.<br/><br/>But we are pretty much going to take it in that order this week. The appetizer is indeed meat: Uncle Meat and the Highway Children. They get my award for best band name I`ve heard in a long while, but don`t let the name scare you off. The track we`re going to play is a nice, folkie but driving tune.<br/><br/>http://www.tourdates.co.uk/uncle-meat-and-the-highway-children<br/>http://www.myspace.com/meatykids<br/><br/>Of course, we`re going to save room for dessert, and nothing finishes off a meal better than an ice cream sundae. However, we`re going to spell it “Sunday” this week, and I`ll just let you know that it`s sung by one of the finest vocalists to hit these shores in a long while: Field. And pick your shore—any shore will do—he`s just that good! (I normally don`t like to give away which tracks I`m playing, but it`s the only way to make this analogy work.)<br/><br/>http://www.tourdates.co.uk/field<br/>http://www.myspace.com/thefieldband<br/><br/>But what comes in between the appetizer and dessert? Well, some of the other tasty morsels on our plate this week include The Taters, from Richmond, Virginia. We`ve been playing a lot of tracks from their current release, Menagerie. But this week, we`ve rummaged through the back room of the Tuesday Night Diner to find a track off of one of their earlier albums. I`m sure Craig and Brad won`t mind me playing an older cut, at least just this once.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/tatermusic<br/><br/>Keeping the bands with food-related names theme going, we`ll also feature another track by Los Angeles-based Maple Mars, off their brand new album Galaxyland. Rick Hromadka`s really put together a psychedelic masterpiece, and I`m looking forward to serving a piece up for you!<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/maplemars<br/><br/>And finally, perhaps you`d rather have a slightly different dessert—perhaps a good old-fashioned banana split. Splitsville is a terrific power pop band from Baltimore, Maryland who`ve been around for about a decade, and put out a definitive compilation album called “Let`s Go: The Best of Splitsville”, which culls the best tracks from their five albums. Lots of gems clocking in at around 2:30 or under, which is how they`ve managed to stuff 25 tracks onto a single disc.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/splitsville<br/><br/>So that`s this week`s meal. High in calories, high in good taste!<br/><br/>If you`d like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com.

And I can`t go. Well, it`s not like I wasn`t invited. I`ve been invited to all the Recharged events. My good colleagues and mates at the station see to that. However, back in the day, there used to be a saying for people like me. I am G.U.--geographically undesirable! You see, I live in Northern California, over 5,000 miles away from 93ft East. Yes, yes, I know that air travel has been around since 1903. And yes, it has caught on here. But since I can`t make it, I`m gonna sit around and jealously sulk in my room.<br/><br/>Okay, not really. I`m gonna celebrate this really cool thing we`re doing by playing some great music, including three of the bands who were nominated as “Best International Act”. This award completely amuses me, because these three bands are American, which I guess makes me “international” too!. Here, I`m just a regular, boring kind of guy—I speak the same as everybody else around me. But in London—I`m some International Man of Mystery—or at least a Foreigner of  Curiosity.<br/><br/>So the three bands of which I speak are The Taters, from Richmond, Virginia—touring on the strength of their recent “Menagerie” release, Mad Tea Party, from Asheville, North Carolina, who put out the very fun “Found A Reason” a while back, and have since put out some Eps, and Field, aka Spencer Berger, who hails from Los Angeles, California, and is about to release his (sure to be) stunning debut, “Be Brave”. Good luck to all. I`d tell you the winner, but I can`t—it`s not even that I`m sworn to secrecy, but as of this writing, I literally don`t know! Exciting!<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/tatermusic<br/>http://www.myspace.com/themadteaparty<br/>http://www.myspace.com/thefieldband<br/><br/>Sometimes, unexpectedly good things happen to you. The one that happened to me most recently was the band Nushu! One day, at the end of March, I checked my inbox at the radio station, and found a copy of their brand new release “Hula”! I`d heard of Nushu for over a year, but didn`t really become a fan until that day. Lisa Mychols and Hillary Burton are the principals of the band, and if you like summery, upbeat pop, ala the Go-Go`s (after they learned to play their instruments), then you`re going to love the songs that these two talented ladies have crafted for you.<br/><br/>The album cover sets the tone. Several pictures of Lisa and Hillary wearing bright Hawaiian dresses, in a red convertible, with Waikiki Beach scenery whizzing by in most of the shots. There`s another shot of them racing by the Hollywood sign, and a shot of the car parked and a guitar, bass, and bongos lying on the back deck. Fun! And the music won me over on the very first listen. I listened to the entire disc in its entirety on the drive home that day, and I am a believer in Nushu. If there`s anything that`s going to make your spring and summer come alive, it`s this album. Play it at your pool parties, in your convertible, and especially at your desk at work, where you`ll probably need an occasional blast of fun! I`m now a hardcore fan, so I`ll be playing one of their tracks on this week`s show.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/nushumusic<br/><br/>Seriously, if you`re in London this Thursday, do try to attend the Recharged Radio Awards show. We`re giving away some great free stuff—goodie bags and whatever else we can think of. And live performances by The Scratch, Fearless Vampire Killers, and Fake Teak—I can`t think of a better way to spend an evening.<br/><br/>If you`d like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com.

(I`m avoiding typing `blues` as that would sound oh, so naff).<br/><br/>Something rather exciting happened today though! Looks like we have not one but TWO Great Escape Festival Stages! Pete Robbins will be running the other for Night Of The Artisans, which is all rather fine and dandy, from 2-4pm on the afternoon of the 13th of May. The venue is still TBC, as he couldn`t remember which one it was on the phone. Nevermind, keep an eye on myspace.com/nightoftheartisans!<br/><br/>As to our small stage at The Live Lounge (also on the 13th), the line up will be (if you missed the show last Friday!):<br/><br/>- The Self Help Group<br/>- JESPA<br/>- 50Ft Woman<br/>- The Scratch<br/>- The Little Philistines<br/>- Projekt.<br/><br/>The evening event starts at 7pm and runs until 11 (bands) and 2 (DJs). No door tax; come one, come all.<br/><br/>Of course, if you need something that`s a bit closer to you (chronologically), then there`s the Recharged Radio Awards at 93ft East next Thursday! All the votes are in and we have the results - but no amount of bribes will persuade us to say who`s won what. You`ll have to wait until the night. Sorry. Live line up for the night runs thus:<br/><br/>- Projekt<br/>- Fearless Vampire Killers<br/>- The Scratch<br/>- Fake Teak<br/><br/>and on the wheels of...silicon will be Hear We Dance, who do a few cool nights over East at The Horse and Groom and The Star of Bethnal Green.<br/><br/>Again, the night starts at 7pm, no door tax and there will be oodles of free things so come gorge yourself, including copies of Bands In The Basement Vol. 1!<br/><br/>Now to the schedule. Lots of things to listen to as ever, so running from today until next Tuesday:<br/><br/>Tonight, 8-10pm: The Justin Wayne Show!<br/><br/>Tomorrow, 7-8pm: Musings On A Thursday; a round up of RR news with any members of the RR staff who happen to be lurking<br/>          8-9pm: The Isabella Scarlet Show!<br/><br/>Friday, 7-9pm: The Friday Forum; This week, it`s New Subs for April with Steve Lowes (Backstreet Merch.), Paul Tipler (Producer of famous bands), Rob (off of Projekt) and Alicia Wolfe (off of Alicia Wolfe).<br/><br/>Saturday: Night off.<br/><br/>Sunday, 5-7pm: The Music Unleashed Top 40!<br/>        7-8pm: 20-20, with Rob One!<br/><br/>Monday, 7-8pm: The Scratch Take Over.

San Francisco Bay Area singer-songwriter Tom Alford was so amused by the concept, he said to me, “how about you give away some Tommy Alford CD`s?” Hey—this sounds to me like he`s doing us a huge favor, so here`s the deal.<br/><br/>Tom released a CD last year called Second Foundation. Unbelievably good pop gems—old school twang meets alternative, and spends the summer in Northern California outside splashing around in the pool! This sound, and fine collection of songs, earned Tom a Twirlie Award nomination for Album of the Year.<br/><br/>So if I were you, I`d listen to this week`s Tuesday Night Diner, because we`re giving away a copy of this disc—sent to you directly by Tom himself! Don`t worry, you don`t have to study anything. Just listen to the show, and when the time comes, I`ll tell you what to do, and one of you will score Second Foundation!<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/tomalford<br/><br/>Tuesday night has always been a pretty big deal to me. A decade ago, I used to frequent the Tuesday night open mike nights at the old Capitol Garage in downtown Sacramento, across the street from the California State Capitol building. I saw nearly everybody in the local music scene make music there—folks like Ben Morss (Onward Chariots), Kevin and Allyson Seconds (Go National), Warren Bishop (Onlymen), and even members of world-renowned bands Cake and Bourgeois-Tagg.<br/><br/>And now—Tuesday night is special because, well, I do this radio show called Tuesday Night Diner. This week, we`ve got a couple of Tuesday-related acts on tap for you.<br/><br/>Sarah Stanley is a Los Angeles based singer-songwriter who works mostly in the Americana vein. Her songs have been heard on several of the major U.S. television networks. She put out a fantastic album called Tuesday Girl last year, which producer Rich McCulley (a longtime favorite on my radio shows) sent my way. And I`m so glad he did. Sarah`s songs are passionate, smoky, intelligent, and sometimes fiery. She`s got a gritty voice that complements the tasteful and sometimes dramatic musicianship of this album. And we`ll hear a track off of Tuesday Girl on this show.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/sarahstanleyband<br/><br/>Thinking for Tuesday was recommended to my by our own Jordan Thomas, who said that their sound probably plays really well to American ears. I have no idea why that is, but this American loves this British band with the big American sound. Karen Conway is a vocalist who has the power, emotion, and vocal chops of Pat Benatar, but updated for the 21st century. Add some crunchy guitars, and an incredibly sinewy bass, and you`ve got a delectable concoction that we`re going to serve up at our Tuesday Night Diner.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/thinkingfortuesday<br/><br/>And finally, Tuesday nights just got bigger and better. Last week, we at Recharged Radio welcomed a new presenter to our ranks: Fiona, with the Anything Goes Evening Show. It airs on Tuesday nights, 10:00-11:00 p.m. (GMT), right after my show. Her debut was an unqualified success. She won`t be on this week, because we want to tease you a little. However, she will return to our airwaves starting next week, and will be doing this show weekly. I do say “stay tuned for Fiona” at the end of my show, but please disregard my incoherent little rambling. She won`t be in the house until next week—but I couldn`t wait. This should make your Tuesday nights complete!<br/><br/>If you`d like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com. If you`d like to become an honorary California citizen, drop me a line at the same address. And if you`d like to hear all this great music—simply tune in to the Tuesday Night Diner, Tuesday night, 8:00-10:00 p.m. (GMT), only at Recharged Radio—www.rechargedradio.com.<br/><br/>See you then!<br/><br/>Chef Mike<br/>mike(at)rechargedradio.com<br/>MN2BDNC<br/></span></p><h2><span>Recharged Radio`s Wet Tuesday in London Mailout!</span></h2><h3><span>02/04/2010 18:45:44</span></h3><p><span>Afternoon,<br/><br/>It`s wet, it`s Tuesday. It`s before Easter...and I`ve been stealing my girlfriend`s creme eggs. They`re so much better stolen. Yum, yum. Anyway, I don`t feel any guilt whatsoever, as she refused to share her chocolate Easter Bunny with me. SHE LEFT ME WITH NO CHOICE.<br/><br/>Anyway<br/><br/>I`ve been informed by Minki that I must remind you that voting for the first ever Recharged Radio awards (15th April, 93ft East!) ends tomorrow! Therefore, if you haven`t voted yet, get over to rechargedradio.com and do so. Right now. Go on. I can wait.<br/><br/>Also, entries for our best music photo competition will be running until the 5th (Monday) so if you reckon you have a great photo from a gig or whatever, then mail it over to minki@rechargedradio.com. You don`t have to be a pro to enter; just if you have a photo with a story behind it, or something you`re passionate about, send it in!<br/><br/>Other news (in brief, as I`ve been banging on about these things for the last few weeks!). The Live CD is almost done, The Live Room at Old St is almost finished - expect teaser sessions soon! - and the Great Escape (13th May, The Live Room, Brighton) line up is pending decision and will be announced this Friday on the Friday Forum. Whoo. Also, over the next couple of weeks or so, you`ll start hearing some new<br/>voices on RR as we expand our presenter line up. In fact, when you listen to Tuesday Night Diner this evening, stay listening after 10pm and you`ll have a sneak peak of what`s coming up...! `Nuff said.<br/><br/>So now, to the schedule for this week:<br/><br/>Tonight, 8-10pm - Tuesday Night Diner, with Mike Skinlid<br/>10-11pm - Something extra....<br/>Tomorrow, 8-10pm - The Justin "Thank God He`s Tame" Wayne show.<br/>Thursday, 7-8pm - Night Of The Artisans, with Pete "Rete-Petite" Robbins<br/>8-9pm - The Isabella Scarlett Show. (The Wit couldn`t<br/>think of anything here).<br/>Friday, 7-9:15pm - The Friday Forum, with a tame Justin Wayne, JESPA and a wild Rob Batley. Due to this being Good Friday, we pre-recorded this show last night and it ran over by about 15 mins. Hope you don`t mind!<br/>Saturday, 8-9pm - Today Is Boring, with Tree and Adam Carr<br/>*recommended listening*<br/>Sunday, 5-7pm - The Music Unleashed Top 40, provided by<br/>Tourdates.co.uk 7-8pm - 20-20, with Rob One (and only).<br/><br/>Get in touch (with all sorts of things) - studio@rechargedradio.com!<br/><br/>And that be that.<br/><br/>Jord - MN2BDNC!<br/><br/>Rechargedradio.com </span></p><h2><span>Technical Difficulties </span></h2><h3><span>01/04/2010 01:10:41</span></h3><p><span>We apologies for the delay in posting `The Friday Forum` and `Music Unleashed TOP40`. They shall be up as soon as possible.<br/><br/>:) <br/><br/>Dave</span></p><h2><span>30.03.10 Tuesday Night Diner Show #17: Groovy, Man!</span></h2><h3><span>30/03/2010 06:45:17</span></h3><p><span>Just as spring had arrived here in Northern California, and I got used to wearing shorts, old man winter (at least our suntanned, ponytailed, healthy-looking Californian version of him) returned this week with a vengeance. Wow, man what a head trip!<br/><br/>Speaking of head trips, and that old `60`s lingo, we`ve got some groovy late 1960`s-early 1970`s type vibes going on this week.<br/><br/>You know, the best beach music doesn`t always come from California. The Ventures, who did the old Hawaii 5-0 theme song, hailed from the Pacific Northwest—Washington State. I`ve heard bands from New York and North Carolina do some pretty good surf music. And so it goes—Laurie Biagini, a modern day Beach Girl, comes from Vancouver, Canada (where if memory serves, the Winter Olympics were held just a month or so ago).<br/><br/>Laurie`s honey-like voice and sunshiny songs always make me think of Karen Carpenter fronting the Beach Boys. And she recently released her second album, “A Far-Out Place”. We`ll hear a track from that album, which builds on her songwriting and arranging skills established in her 2008 debut, “Ridin` The Wave”.<br/>http://www.myspace.com/lauriebiaginimusic<br/><br/>There was another side to the `60`s. A deeper, mystical, enlightened side called psychedelia. And a couple of new CD`s came my way which explore this phenomena.<br/><br/>Todd Dillingham is a legendary musician, who is heavily influenced by the psychedelic side of the Beatles, as well as many other trippier artists. He himself goes deep into this freaky, magical world with his recent album “Whitebeard`s Trip”. On a couple of the stranger tracks, he connects psychedelia with industrial—an interesting, experimental marriage. But Todd never gets too far from glistening pop, and there are a few gems in this genre. And not only that, but he recruited the aforementioned Laurie Biagini to play brief harpsichord interludes between some of his tracks—sort of a palate cleanser, if you will. We`ll hear an example of each.<br/>http://www.myspace.com/todddillingham<br/><br/>Finally, the album we`ve all been waiting for. Rick Hromadka, the leader of the Los Angeles-based band Maple Mars, just released (and sent to me) Galaxyland. This one is so new to me, it`s barely been unwrapped. The songs I`ve heard so far remind me more of the early- to mid-1970`s solo John Lennon strain of psychedelia. Very accessible, and with something to say. We`ll debut a Maple Mars track on this week`s show.<br/>http://www.myspace.com/maplemars<br/>Well, that`s about all, except for a quick reminder that you need to get your votes in NOW for the Recharged Radio awards. Polls close on March 31st, and the show is on April 15th in London (a scary day for those of us in the U.S.). Just follow the link on the upper right-hand corner of the home page of www.rechargedradio.com, and vote for your favorites. Only takes a minute, and you`ll help decide who gets awards!<br/><br/>If you`d like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com. If you`d like to become an honorary California citizen, drop me a line at the same address. And if you`d like to hear all this great music—simply tune in to the Tuesday Night Diner, Tuesday night, 8:00-10:00 p.m. (GMT), only at Recharged Radio—www.rechargedradio.com.<br/><br/>See you then!<br/><br/>Chef Mike<br/>mike(at)rechargedradio.com<br/>MN2BDNC<br/></span></p><h2><span>The Recharged Radio`s Slightly Later In The Week Mailout!</span></h2><h3><span>25/03/2010 19:49:37</span></h3><p><span>Hello!<br/><br/>Sorry this is late - things had to be done, people had to be seen, coffee had to be drunk, Jordan had to be shouted at for coming home late, that sort of thing.<br/><br/>Anyway, hope you`re well n all that. I`m not going to make any references to Spring this week, as the amount of mailouts I`ve read over the last week that have done so is silly and I`m not a sheep (which makes me think lambs... argh. Hell).<br/><br/>First up - some exciting news! We now have an i-phone app! Well, technically we`ve had it for about two weeks but I keep on forgetting to talk about it (and the RR team were getting angry, so I thought I better had...). You can have a look at it on Regular Interweb over at http://www.rechargedradio.com/mobile/<br/><br/>Second up - There is still time to do some voting for our awards if you haven`t already done so. The ceremony takes place at 93Ft East on the 15th April from 7pm and despite me trying to get people to turn up in black tie, you don`t have to. Again, this is due to the RR team getting angry and Alex saying "Divvunt meke us wear ah suit, man - I look leek ah bank man-age-ah!" Oh well. Anyway, bands that will be<br/>lurking at 93Ft East will be inclusive of (but not limited to) The Fancy Toys, Karim Fanous, Kamp David, Projekt, Fake Teak, The Scratch, Fearless Vampire Killers, J*E*S*P*A and The Little Philistines. Come one, come all and share a drink with all of us. It`s free!<br/><br/>Third Up - The Great Escape. Now, I knew by mentioning this we`d be flooded with requests. The names are now all in and have gone into Dan`s beeney hat. We will be picking this week, so the line up will be announced next Friday.<br/><br/>Fourth Up - The Live Room @ Old St - Will be starting soon. That is all. We`ll be teasing you until then.<br/><br/>Fifth Up - The Live CD - is being pressed. Rock and Roll, acoustic style.<br/><br/>I think that`s the lot. Well, that`s all the stuff I can tell you anyway. If you want inside information, catch me in The Ship after the show on Friday.<br/><br/>So, the schedule:<br/><br/>Tuesday, 8-10pm - Tuesday Night Diner<br/>Wednesday, 8-10pm - The Justin Wayne Show<br/>Thursday, 7-8pm - This week, it`s Musings On A Thursday<br/>              8-9pm - The Isabella Scarlet Hour<br/>Friday, 7-9pm - The Friday Forum, this week with Lucius!<br/>Saturday, 8-9pm - Hits Of The Near Future, with Andy Quirk<br/>Sunday, 5-7pm - The Music Unleashed Top 40<br/>            7-8pm - 20-20, with Rob One<br/><br/>Get in touch with the shows - studio@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>And that be that.<br/><br/>Bye!<br/><br/>Jord<br/><br/><br/>Links (The Wit is off skiing with obnoxious people this week and will return next week)<br/><br/>rechargedradio.com<br/>tourdates.co.uk/rechargedradio<br/>myspace.com/rechargedradio<br/>twitter.com/rechargedradio<br/>maplestreetstudios.co.uk<br/>myspace.com/nightoftheartisans<br/>apocalypstick.co.uk</span></p><h2><span>23.03.10 Tuesday Night Diner Show #16: Spring Has Sprung!</span></h2><h3><span>23/03/2010 04:55:48</span></h3><p><span>Spring has officially arrived here in California. Actually, it`s arrived everywhere, according to the calendar. But here in the Sacramento Valley, spring has certain implications. Implication #1: Stock up on generic Claritin. Allergy season is here, and they say that if you`ve never had allergies before, you will here. Implication #2: The trees. They`re in bloom. One of our favorite local sayings here is that Sacramento has more trees per capita than Paris. Paris! That`s okay, but is Paris known for its trees? I mean, we probably also have more people calling each other “dude” per capita than Paris, but that doesn`t get much play around here. And Implication #3: Well, I don`t really have one. It`s just that when you write essays of this nature, you`re always supposed to make your points in threes.<br/><br/>But it is Spring, as of March 20th, and as I groused about last week, we are fully in the throes of Daylight Savings Time—which still hasn`t yet happened in the UK. So for one more show (this one), we`ll be on in the US from 1:00-3:00 p.m. Pacific. But enough about the spring. How about some great music?<br/><br/>Jimmy Catlett is one of those unsung heroes of American music. But I`m here to sing his praises. He hails from Richmond, Virginia, and he has a classic sound, without being classic rock. Heck, his influences range from Beethoven to Billie Holiday to Bill Monroe to Iggy Pop to Chrissie Hynde to Frank Sinatra to X. Wow! I`m not saying that every one of his songs sounds like Beethoven`s 9th meets the Pretenders. In fact, I`m not saying that even one of his songs sounds like that. But he`s such a great singer-songwriter-guitarist, and I`m pretty sure that his brand of indie-Americana is going to move you.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/jimmycatlett<br/><br/>Another noteworthy artist--Pete Hackett has a band called Cult of Wedge. Pete is known as the “Mad Genius of Rowley Regis” (Midlands, UK) for his inventive production skills. He`s responsible for a lot of the great sounds on Maxi Dunn`s “Welcome to Soonville” release. He`s a renowned guitarist in his own right—and he`ll be part of Maxi`s band at the IPO Liverpool (International Pop Overthrow festival) in May. Here, this rather talented, but unassuming man steps into the spotlight with a pretty infectious track. In his own words, C.O.W. sounds like: “A bit like a car crash involving members of - E.L.O, Genesis, Human League, Kraftwerk, Motorhead and Yes. With John Shaft and Starsky and Hutch being the first on the scene, with Beck and Air driving the ambulances!<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/cultofwedge<br/><br/>There`s going to be so much more great music on this week`s show—it`s jam packed with 32 great indie tracks!<br/><br/>If you`d like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com.

Welcome to it, etc., etc.,... Hope you`re all well and<br/>happy.<br/><br/>First up, I want to say well done to Rob One for doing an interesting<br/>label showcase on Monday night for YNR records. It was only 30<br/>minutes, so I suppose that makes it more of a feature... but anyway,<br/>it was a nice snapshot into the world of an underground Hip-hop label<br/>(and also, a nice relief for those of you that are getting sick of me<br/>and Alex wittering on about cool New York electro labels and labels<br/>owned by a member of The Big Pink... but in our defence, we wouldn`t<br/>know the first thing about Hip-hop, so we stick to what we know...).<br/><br/>Anyway.<br/><br/>Speaking of features and whatnot, listen out for Justin Wayne`s<br/>Scudley Sessions. This is a small look at what`s going on at Scudley<br/>Records down under and is definitely worth a listen, so make sure you<br/>catch it on The Justin Wayne Show this week.<br/><br/>Other news now - the Live CD is very much in the works at Ponyland<br/>Records (those of you in the know will recognise Ponyland as The<br/>Scratch`s label). Popped round to discuss artwork last week and found<br/>out that they have a very nice cat. Seems like a good place to do a<br/>release... Anyway, all the tracks have been mastered, quotes have been<br/>obtained and in a few weeks the CD will be available FOR FREE to<br/>anyone who wants one.<br/><br/>Talking about free stuff, we still have a couple of copies of Kyoto<br/>Drive`s new album up for grabs. All you have to do is answer the<br/>following question:<br/><br/>"What was the name of Kyoto Drive`s previous EP?"

A wonderful way to spend a July or August evening. But wait—it`s mid-March. What just happened?<br/><br/>Here in the U.S., politics is everything. It used to be that we`d switch over to Daylight Savings Time in mid-April, in an effort to save energy, and well, you know, daylight. But over the past few decades, to curry favor with voters, politicians kept lengthening the months of Daylight Savings Time, until the current configuration was reached—nearly 8 months of Daylight Savings, and only 4 months of what used to be known as “Standard Time”. (Note to people who name stuff: if it`s not the normal occurrence, then perhaps you shouldn`t call it “standard” anymore.) But who is this constituency of voters trying to be won over? Insomniacs? Politicians—beware. If you pander to one constituency, you`re probably alienating another. And in this case, the other group is us early risers. Yes, my 5:15 a.m. wake up call today felt more like 4:15 a.m. Ouch! However, I have to admit, I wasn`t complaining too much when I got home from work, and put on a T-shirt, shorts, and sneakers—looking very much like the picture of my feet on the Team page of the Recharged Radio website (http://www.rechargedradio.com/text/team.html).<br/><br/>The reason I`m ranting, is to tell you this—my good friends in the UK are wise enough to at least wait UNTIL SPRING before setting the clocks ahead. That means that for the next two weeks—if you`re a U.S. listener, my Tuesday Night Diner show will air at 1:00 p.m. Pacific rather than noon. The UK time remains the same, 8:00-10:00 p.m. GMT.<br/><br/>Okay, that`s more than enough about me. Here`s the fun part—the name dropping of worthy musicians.<br/><br/>What do you think of when you hear the term “Memphis Soul?” Stax Records? Check. Al Green? Check. The Memphis Horns? Check.<br/><br/>My friend Michael Allen, simply known as Allen, cut his teeth in that scene. He worked with Al Green, writing three of his hits. He`s arranged and recorded Albert King, Wilson Pickett, Anita Ward, and many other A-List musicians, while working for both Stax and Hi Records. He now lives in Italy, and is at the forefront of the Soul movement in Europe. We`ll hear a track of his that seamlessly blends the sounds of Memphis and Latin America. I can`t wait for you to hear this song—but he`s one of the nicest guys you`ll ever want to meet.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/perrymichaelallen<br/><br/>Great Americana music can come from anywhere, but surprisingly, one of its` strongholds has always been Los Angeles. Maybe that`s not so surprising—bands like The Blasters, Los Lobos, and Lone Justice were incubated here. And one of my favorite new bands is Hail The Size, featuring Matt North and Charles Ezell, and their friend Maria McKee—that`s right, the legendary vocalist of the aforementioned Lone Justice. These guys combine humor, both dark and light, along with some seriously meaty roots chops and catchy melodies. And just when you thought it couldn`t get any better, they deploy Maria as their secret weapon—her gritty vocals grace three tracks, including the one we`re going to hear on this show. She also stuck around to add piano parts to several tracks as well.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/hailthesize<br/><br/>The Corner Laughers, a San Francisco band I recently interviewed on the show, are now making the world of commerce safe for us music lovers. One of their tracks, “Inner Archaeologist”, was selected to be played daily in over 950 American Eagle Outfitters stores across America for an entire month, starting March 15th. So if you go clothes shopping in the mall and you hear a bright female voice fronting a ukulele-driven band, you`ve now entered the secret world of the Corner Laughers. Congratulations—you are now cooler than the kids shopping in those other stores! We`ll hear another track off of their Ultraviolet Garden release.<br/><br/>http://www.myspace.com/cornerlaughers<br/><br/>As you can see, it`s gonna be a pretty big show!<br/><br/>If you`d like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com.

And on this week`s Tuesday Night Diner, there will be an opportunity to win free stuff! Listen for the special promo, and do what the nice man says, and there could be a CD in your future!<br/><br/>Enough said about that. There`s also the usual selection of fine music—which incidentally, we also don`t charge for as well. Here`s a roundup of the highlights.<br/><br/>I`ve got a sneak preview off of NYC singer/songwriter Mark Bacino`s forthcoming release “Queens English”. Release date is set for May 18th—so you`ve got over two months to save up your allowance money for this one—and trust me, you`re gonna want it. Intelligent songwriting and upbeat, poppy arrangements. The Great American Songbook. Imagine Randy Newman meets the Raspberries in Queens, New York, and you`re close. There`s touches of ragtime, power pop, and grown up pop with actual strings. All in one album, and most of the perfect pop gems clock in at three minutes or less.<br/><br/>www.markbacino.com<br/><br/><br/>The world famous Whisky A Go Go. Sunset Strip, Hollywood, California. It`s on the short list of clubs around the world where rock careers are made. The only clubs that are arguably as recognizable by name would be the Cavern Club in Liverpool, CBGB in New York, and of course, Bob`s Country Bunker in the Blues Brothers Movie. (I kid, I kid!)<br/><br/>Laurie Larson, who`s been a great friend of my radio shows over the past few years, will be headlining at the Whisky A Go Go this Wednesday night. This is her second headlining stint in the last couple of months. She`s in pretty good company—other headliners at this renowned venue have included The Doors, Janis Joplin, and Led Zeppelin. And now Laurie. If you`re in Los Angeles Wednesday night, drop by—her show starts at 7:45 p.m. To celebrate, we`ll be playing my favorite song of hers on this week`s Tuesday Night Diner.<br/><br/>www.whiskyagogo.com<br/>www.laurielarson.com<br/><br/>Maxi Dunn has graced my radio shows for nearly a year now. Her Welcome To Soonville release was one of my Top 5 albums last year. There`s a magnificent song which caps off the album—in fact, it`s the title track. If you listen to this broad, sweeping piece, you`ll think of mysteries, James Bond, ocean waves crashing on a stormy day, and a lady who you`d better not mess around with. In fact, there`s a rule I`ve made up just for Welcome To Soonville: this dramatic song must always appear at the end of a set of music. Period. Nothing after it. Maxi and Pete Hackett collaborated on this masterpiece, and it deserves your attention.<br/><br/>www.maxidunn.info<br/><br/>Are you in the mood for Tuesday Night Diner? I hope so. I certainly am.<br/><br/>If you`d like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com.

Instead of starting with show news first, I`ll do a round up of events!<br/><br/>- The Recharged Radio Awards are now pretty much there and guess what - YOU CAN VOTE using this handy link http://www.rechargedradio.com/text/voting.html. Go on, clicky-clicky. The ceremony will be at 93Ft East on the 15th April and you`re all invited! In true RR fashion this is a free gig, though you will be required to wear a Recharged Radio badge for the whole evening. People caught not wearing badges will be eaten by Dave. It`ll be a black tie affair but no sensible shoes, please. Also, line up for the evening will comprise of Fake Teak, Fearless Vampire Killers, Projekt and The Scratch. Come one, come all!<br/><br/>- The Recharged Radio Live CD is now all tracked up and ready to be designed. Big thanks to Ponyland Records for helping out with this project!<br/><br/>- The Recharged Radio live room is almost finished, according to Mr. Steve Honest. Having just had an update from him, he`s just waiting on a certain energy company to remove a big f-off fan unit and then we`re almost ready to roll! I must thank Steve for offering us use of his studio - round of applause for Mr Honest everyone!<br/><br/>- Features within shows and such - you might notice an increase in features shortly. Justin Wayne is working with Scudley Records in Oz, who will be contributing to his show with regularity. Go check them out, they have alot of heart - scudleyrecords.com. Also, starting next week we`re giving away a copy of Kyoto Drive`s new CD, courtesy of the guys at Engineer Records (.com). Keep an ear out for the trails and<br/>the very simple competition question! We have 5 copies to give away and when they`re gone, they`re gone. Terms and conditions are non- existant and we won`t be ignoring right answers to drag out the competition. Why on Earth would we want to deprive people of getting a free CD, dammit?!<br/><br/>There is more... but you`ll have to wait a few weeks for that...<br/><br/>Moving on to shows...<br/><br/>Tonight, The Justin Wayne Show (pre-rec), 8-10pm - This week marks another solo-JW performance but he`s got loads of new tunes to play. Pacific northwest gem Hey Marsailles and Chicago-based Athens - along with some other great new submissions - pepper the playlistt!  He`s also gearing up for next week`s first installment of "The Scudley Sessions" with Pete Renzullo from Perth, Australia so we`ll hear more<br/>from the Scudley Records compillation, Folklore, Volume 1. justin@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Tomorrow - Night Of The Artisans (pre-rec) 7-8pm - Pete Robbins joins us again for another acoustic relaxation-fest and also has NoTA favourite Elizabeth Blair live in session.

We`ll also have a session with Andy J Gallagher and Rob from Projekt will be dropping in (to steal Minki`s coat no doubt). studio@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Saturday - Today is Boring, 8-8:45 - Excuse the funny time but this is more of a programme than a show, I would say! Hence it`s allowed. Tree and Adam have Hamish McAlpine in the studio, who has a chat about his career (Adam sent me this interesting article on Hamish, which you can read here http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2002/nov/17/features.review).<br/>Also Gary, one half of The Critics Of Everything gives his opinion on The Wolfmen, which he was sent to see recently! studio@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Sunday - The Music Unleashed Top 40, 5-7pm - Will Fake Teak hang on to No.1?

I know that some people are superstitious, but there`s no escaping #13. It`s not like some of those buildings whose elevators go from the 12th floor to the 14th floor. That doesn`t really get rid of the 13th floor. It just means that now the 14th floor is really the 13th, and so on.<br/><br/>Well, here on Tuesday Night Diner, we`re going to face it head on with some absolutely great music. In fact, we`re using a clever ploy to reverse our fortunes—we`re going to reverse the number 13 and give you 31 songs this week! That`s right—due to a fortuitous combination of some short songs, and me not running my mouth too much, we`re squeezing in a record number of songs. An excellent presenter to song ratio, for all you music fans!<br/><br/>We`re leading off the show with a bang—Tom Alford, or as we Northern California music fans like to call him, Tommy Alford! Here`s a guy who plays old school jangly music with the understanding that alternative music changed everything. Make sense? No? Well, better get here on time (8:00 p.m. GMT) to see what that means.<br/><br/>We`ll also hear some brand new music from Liverpool band Buzzradio—a real rockin` tune that just crackles out of your speakers. Some achingly beautiful music from June and the Exit Wounds—a seriously underrated band from Champaign, Illinois who didn`t get enough airplay a decade ago, so I`m working feverishly to correct that now. Think Brian Wilson meets 3:00 a.m. insomnia, and you`ve got the track I`ve picked out for you. And last week, a chatroom listener was kind enough to make a request for a song I`d never heard before by Life in Film. This track blew me away, and will be on the show.<br/><br/>If you`d like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com.

Coffee<br/><br/>2. Spell-check on Google Chrome. My spelling is appalling. However what I don`t get is why it doesn`t recognise `Google` (look, there`s that little red squiggly line again!) and `Mailout`. Mail-Out is NOT AN OPTION.

I`m going to listen anyway, tell me something else!", just scroll to the bottom. Justin will cry but hey...)<br/><br/>Tonight, 8-10pm - In Your Brain, with Justin Wayne (aka, The Justin Wayne Show) - This week, without a guest!  How did that happen?  All that means this week is MORE MUSIC! Also, David Couch, the JW Show resident journo has reviewed Giant Wow`s, Hey Girl EP so we`ll feature a track from there as well as picking up where we left off with the<br/>Recharged Tracks of the Week with Karim Fanous` masterpiece, Mad Masters.  We`ll also chat about The Justin Wayne Show and Jade`s House`s first gig together this past Friday (which was great) and we`ve got some great new submissions as well! justin@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Tomorrow, 7-8pm - Musings On A Thursday. Look, we had a spare hour on a Thursday that we needed to do something with so we`re giving you another show. There is NO PLAN for this slot. No plan AT ALL. We`ll take requests, we`ll talk about what`s cooking in the Recharged Kitchen and if anyone is hanging around, we`ll interview them. Laissez faire radio! Boum! studio@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>8-9pm - Isabella Scarlett - Izzy`s slot, where she plays what`s been going on at her nights at The Winehouse Tavern...er..The Hawley Arms. Expect some great tracks, along with some picks from the RR playlist. studio@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Friday - 7-9pm - The Forum O` Friday - Yeah, it`s the time of the week again where there will be sessions, music, chat and things like that. Lurking around the box will be John Drake (who is not as angry as the picture on his CD suggests), who will be doing a session for us, Matt from The Little Philistines and Kim, who runs the Never Enough Notes<br/>website! I think that`s a good spread, don`t you?<br/>studio@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>After Friday`s show, Recharged Radio will be DJing down at the ultra- cool and trendy Old Blue Last, so come down and hear us spin some discs on the wheels of steel from 9:30 until 11. Say hi and you`ll get a badge. Buy us a drink and you`ll get two.<br/><br/>Other things that are going on with us include (but are not limited to):<br/><br/>- The Recharged Radio Live Session CD. Yes, it`s about bloody time we did one. It`ll be free too. Thanks to all the guys who gave their consent for their track to be used (but not to Karim, who wanted to appear naked on the cover. Karim, no-one wants that).<br/><br/>- The Recharged Radio Live Room - The Wonderful Steve Honest has given us use of his live room over Old St direction. Expect a launch date for that soon.<br/><br/>- The Recharged Radio Awards - All nominations are in (whoo!) and voting will commence shortly! I`m warning you now, there will be an extra mailout once all is up and running with this..!<br/><br/>- The Recharged Radio EP Chart, with Tourdates.co.uk - Some of you said `do an EP chart`, so we agreed and are working on it.<br/><br/>- The Recharged Radio Cute Pets Competition. Yes, really. JW and myself will duel...with..er..pictures of our pets. Oh why did I agree to this...<br/><br/>I think that`s it... pretty sure I haven`t missed anything.<br/><br/>Keep an eye on the website for updates about the weekend`s<br/>programming!<br/><br/>Speak to ya soon<br/><br/>Jord<br/><br/>PS - Well done to Fake Teak for coming No.2 in this week`s Music Unleashed Top 40!!<br/><br/><br/>Links<br/><br/>rechargedradio.com - (no spelling suggestions)<br/>tourdates.co.uk - (still no spelling suggestions, even for UK but it has heard of `co`)<br/>myspace.com/rechargedradio - (No, spellcheck hasn`t heard of Myspace.<br/>Or "spellcheck" apparently)<br/>twitter.com/rechargedradio - (spellcheck has heard of Twitter)<br/>maplestreetstudios.co.uk - (Nothing witty comes to mind.

I mean, I`m the farthest outpost of Recharged Radio civilization that there is—all the way out in Sacramento, California—5,295 miles from the home office (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/distanceresult.html?p1=217&p2=136).<br/><br/>Well, recently, my fortunes have changed for the better. Two of Sacramento`s most well-known musicians visited me recently, and did a fun interview and great session: Allyson Seconds and Anton Barbeau. Allyson has been a fixture on the local scene in such bands as Go National, playing lead guitar and backing vocals. She`d been looking for the opportunity to try lead vocals, and anchored by a batch of songs penned by Anton, put together a project called Bag of Kittens. Anton`s roots are also in Sacramento, but he relocated to England some years back, where he`s been successfully making music from his Cambridge base. (Hmmm, a guy with connections in both Sacramento and the UK—sound familiar?)<br/><br/>Anyway, Anton made his annual visit to his hometown, and did a slew of shows, including the session in our studios. And we`ve got that for you on this week`s Tuesday Night Diner!<br/><br/>But that`s not all. How about a pre-release track from Suzanne Benorden`s Eugene, Oregon-based band Boomchick? It deals with imperialism, and pretty much blows the doors and windows out! And whaddya say we have a Mad Tea Party with some Handcuffs? Hey now, it`s not what you think. We`ll play a track from Asheville, North Carolina band Mad Tea Party, featuring Ami Worthen and Jason Krekel, and another track from Chicago, Illinois` own The Handcuffs, featuring Chloe F. Orwell and Brad Elvis.<br/><br/>I can`t wait for you to hear all this. It`ll happen on the Tuesday Night Diner, Tuesday night, 8:00-10:00 p.m. (GMT), only at Recharged Radio—www.rechargedradio.com.<br/><br/>Be sure to drop me a line and make a request for next week`s show—I`d love to take your orders, and mention your name on the show!<br/><br/>See you then!<br/><br/>Chef Mike<br/>mike(at)rechargedradio.com<br/>MN2BDNC</span></p><h2><span>The JW Show: Wed, 24th Feb...

I think what he really meant was `Jordan has no plan and structure in his life so things are a bit haphazard`. Hmm... go figure...<br/><br/>Thankfully, that doesn`t go for personal hygiene. Don`t know why I thought I needed to qualify that at this point. Maybe I`m feeling paranoid.<br/><br/>Nevermind, there`s radio things to be done. Some shows, in fact.<br/><br/>Tonight, 8-10pm - The Justin Wayne Show: This week we`re going to be launching our first joint gig with Jade`s House Music in Enfield at the Bar Form on Friday night at 9ish. Justin`s got Tom, lead singer from Those Handsome Animals on the show this week to chat about the gig (they`ll be playing... if you didn`t get the link here) and will be playing one of their tracks too. If that wasn`t enough, Trenton Birth of Trenton and Free Radical on the show, chatting about his upcoming record and the amazing team he`s got working with him. justin@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Tomorrow, 7-8pm - Night Of The Artisans, with Pete Robbins. Pete will be playing us who he rates from his nights and some people he just rates. Period. If you`re wondering what his last Night Of The Artisans looked like, here`s a youtube link to The Fancy Toys playing at HMS President. Pete is on The Box (otherwise known as The Cahjon). Thanks to Dawn for the video!<br/>http://www.youtube.com/watchv=2lI_ayoQQvA&feature=youtube_gdta studio@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>and from 8-9pm - We might just continue with more music. Then we`re off up Tommy Flynn`s to see our very own Minki perform with 50ft Woman after a long hiatus! Come if you want!<br/><br/>Friday, 7-9pm - The Friday Forum. This week, we have Rachel Kenedy down (hopefully with cakes!), plus her good friend Vicky from Ghosts You Echo. In addition to those guys (or more correctly, girls), we have our Samara along, which should make up for the lack of a female presence last week! After the show, we`re going up to Cirque De Creme Anglaise, which is hosted by The Furbelows up at The Cross Kings in Kings Cross. Come join us! studio@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Saturday - Day off. Might mow the lawn.<br/><br/>Sunday, 5-7pm - The Music Unleashed Top 40. More music, more chart things, more stuff. chartshow@tourdates.co.uk<br/><br/>7-8pm - 20-20 with Rob One. Over to Rob... "Exploration of the new Canibus record, Melatonin Magik. Rubbish title, horrendous artwork, but his best music in years. Good stuff. That plus some Crysis, some classic Raekwon and Rodney P, and we`ve got a fresh Australian emcee too. Oh yeah, and did we mention an interview with GIFT OF GAB" Thanks Rob. Rob@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/><br/>Other news now. If you missed Monday`s Merok Records Special, that will be up on the player within the next few days for your listening pleasure. Also, The Recharged Radio awards ceremony is taking shape nicely and full details will be announced shortly (like where to do the voting shizzle).<br/><br/>And the sun has come out and I am happy.

Up here in Enfield at the Bar Form - Friday night - we`ve got Those Handsome Animals, who have risen from the ashes of The Retro Crooks and are ready to thrash the London scene.  We`ve got Tom, lead singer on the show this week to chat about the gig.

I have received so much good new music, I feel that I`m not worthy! But you are, and that`s why I`m going to share it with you on this week`s Tuesday Night Diner.<br/><br/>Most of this week`s batch of new music comes from right here in California. The world has been waiting for a couple of years for the new Rich McCulley album, “Starting All Over Again”, and I`ve got a prerelease copy in my hot little hands. I`ll be playing a great track from this L.A. singer-songwriter—and this may well be its radio debut (and even if it isn`t, this baby doesn`t come out for another month, so it`s kind of like an exclusive!).<br/><br/>More goodness from the Corner Laughers—a song they thought might be too “weird” for radio—I think it`s too gorgeous to not play on radio!<br/><br/>A guy who used to be a big fixture on the Sacramento scene—he even played on one of Cake`s albums—Ben Morss, and his band Chariots of Tuna—absolutely rawk with a new track that he sent me from his New York City base of operations. He`s a brilliant keyboardist, but he added some electric guitar to this song and really upped his game a notch or two!<br/><br/>Speaking of expatriate Sacramentans—Anton Barbeau, who now lives in Cambridge, UK, graces us with another song this week. If you like Robyn Hitchcock, you`ll like Anton. And if you don`t—well, you still might like Anton anyway! I`ll be featuring an in-studio session with Anton and Allyson Seconds in the next week or so on Tuesday Night Diner, so stay tuned for that.<br/><br/>A couple of L.A.-based singer-songwriters with whom I`ve just become acquainted—Michael Miller and Beth Thornley—have both sent me their new CDs, and they are really good. They`re both in the folk/pop/Americana vein. They`ll be gigging up here in Sacramento in a few weeks, and with any luck, I`ll have them on the show, so this is a good chance to get to know them.<br/><br/>Finally, Allyson Seconds brings it all home with her loving tribute to Sacramento, off of her new Bag of Kittens release. In my opinion, there aren`t nearly enough songs which mention Sacramento (Cake and Robyn Hitchcock both did, and after that, the pickins are slim), so she ignites some hometown pride in this radio diner chef`s heart.<br/><br/>A big state with some big music. California. And I`m glad to share this musical goodness with you this week on Tuesday Night Diner, 8:00-10:00 p.m. only on Recharged Radio. See you there!<br/><br/>Chef Mike<br/>mike(at)rechargedradio.com<br/>MN2BDNC</span></p><h2><span>Recharged Radio`s Happy Happy Joy Joy Mailout.</span></h2><h3><span>10/02/2010 17:09:43</span></h3><p><span>Hello,<br/><br/>Right, I`ll keep the pre-amble short. We had a great week last week, with some great shows and loads of people loving the music. Go RR...and the bands... and the listeners...just GO everyone. Whoo. Rock n Roll (baby).<br/><br/>That was then, this is now. Let`s keep it up...<br/><br/>Tonight, 8-10pm - The Justin Wayne Show! Justin`s got some great stuff happening this week in the wake of his 2nd Anniversary awards show, The Birthday Best.  With Natasha Davies` "Giggle" as TOTW, he`s also got two fab guests: Peter Renzullo from Scudley Records in Perth, Australia and the band OK from South Wales.  Also, as we haven`t heard much new music lately ramping up to the Birthday Best, Justin`s going to be playing a bunch of new submissions.  justin@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Tomorrow, 7-8pm - The Engineer Records Special. All the guys over at Engineer are putting on a gig this Saturday (13th) at a Skate Park and because we thought this was A Good Thing, we`re doing a special show for them. We`ll be featuring The Startover in the studio, we`ll be having a look at who`s playing at the gig and Engineer`s back<br/>catalogue in general. Also, for one night only, we`ll be "Recharged Rock Radio"! (because this is what`s gone on all Engineer`s literature and we didn`t have the heart to correct their honest mistake so we`ll just roll with it...). studio@rechargedradio.com and engineerrecords.com<br/><br/>Then, after that..<br/><br/>8-9pm - Apocalypstick, with Isabella Scarlet. More from the one with the wonderful voice. May or may not include flotsam and jetsam from the previous show. studio@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Friday 7-9pm - The Friday Forum, with Mr. Clayton Hartley Esq from The Furbelows! Having just seen the playlist for this, we`re playing some new stuff, some old stuff and some very new stuff in the shape of the new single from The Little Philistines! Clayton will also be giving us a run down of what`s happening at the next Cirque De Creme Angalise at the Cross Kings venue... and we`ll probably run over two hours. Ooh and also, Jon from songsfromtheshed.com will be interviewed about his fun project and current RR flavour of the month track by The Holy City Rollers will be played. Enough radio for you?! Studio@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Saturday - A rare day off, unless something comes up. It might...<br/><br/>Sunday 5-7pm - The Music Unleashed Top 40 - It was all change at the top last week with Projekt dropping down and Fear No Fish becoming number one - so will it stay the same this week?! Fake Teak have also been placing high up lately, so make sure you tune in! chartshow@tourdates.co.uk<br/><br/>7-8pm - I`m always rubbish at writing up Rob One`s show, so this week he`s doing it. "This week, I`m doing a Pioneer Unit tripleplay. They`re a great hip-hop/dub label based in Cape Town, run by a British guy. Artists like Ben Sharpa, Konfab and Driemanskap." So there we go. Rob@rechargedradio.com. Word.<br/><br/>Finally (cos there has to be a finally), some of you might have noticed things ramp up recently. You`re not wrong. More shows, more music... more ways to fill the gap between your ears when you`re on your computer in the evening and are bored with reality TV.<br/><br/>Music needs to be driven, not controlled... remember?<br/><br/>Jord<br/><br/>Links:<br/><br/>rechargedradio.com - Cranking it out!<br/>tourdates.co.uk/rechargedradio - downloading it...down!<br/>myspace.com/rechargedradio - filling it up!<br/>twitter.com/rechargedradio - randoming it..uh..around<br/>maplestreetstudios.co.uk - Throwing it sideways<br/>songsfromtheshed.com - We`re on [in] a SHED.<br/>myspace.com/nightoftheartisans - We`re on at THE REGAL ROOMS and not a<br/>BOAT now.<br/>apocalypstick.com - `Ello Winehouse.</span></p><h2><span>09.02.2010 Tuesday Night Diner: The 2010 Twirlie Awards!</span></h2><h3><span>09/02/2010 07:23:46</span></h3><p><span>Everybody loves awards, and I`m no exception.

This is the first in a series of programmes which are looking at the music scene just outside of the concrete donut that is the M25. The first programme looks at what`s going on in St Albans and Hatfield. Worth a listen, as it features not only The Scratch but  one Mr. Clint Boon (XFM Manchester/Inspiral Carpets)<br/><br/>Secondly, if your band is looking for a festival date this year (I know one or two of you are and have said so yourself!!) go here:<br/><br/>www.robsfestival.com<br/><br/>It`s in aid of a good cause and should be a good weekend!

If you missed the show, you can catch it again on the `listen again` player (naturally).<br/><br/>Speaking of awards, it`s Mike Lidskin`s turn next week, so make sure you catch his show on Tuesday from 8-10 where he`ll be doing his `Electric Eleven` (he couldn`t decide on a `Top Ten` apparently so had to spread the love one place wider).<br/><br/>So, in the more immediate future, what`s occurring?<br/><br/>Thursday - 7-8pm - Night Of The Artisans Radio Hour, with Pete Robbins. After a successful launch at HMS President last week, Pete is all fired up to tell us about it. No, seriously, he is. What he doesn`t mention is how happy he looks playing The Box on stage with The Fancy Toys. He`s like a dog with two tails. Anyway, now that I`ve embarrassed him enough, he`s got some live tracks from last week`s gig plus a live session from Tom Copson which I can honestly say is captivating. studio@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>and then from 8-9pm, we have Apocalypstick, with Isabella Scarlett! Miss Scarlet returns with her armful of good tracks from around the London scene - some you might have heard before here on RR, some that might be new to you. Either/or, we`ve got two shows on one night so if you`re here for one then you might at as well hang about for the other! isabella@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Friday - 7-9pm - Yes, it`s the Friday Forum. Kakuzi in session, people in the box. Music being played and all of them New Subs as it`s that time of the month again...and also, the usual stuff and nonsense. Come on in; bring biscuits and opinions. studio@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>(Quick break: The Beautiful South - Don`t Marry Her (Have Me) has just started playing somewhere. Hmm.. anyone else have The Beautiful South down as a guilty pleasure band??)<br/><br/>Saturday, 8-9pm - Today Is Boring. Recommended listening for any film or music fan. Tree and Adam Carr from Today Is Boring speak to Steven Parsons about his long and varied career and also, take Avatar to bits, 3d piece by 3d piece.

Then, to follow, we have the amazing Ross and the Wrongens in the studio. They serenade us with some acoustic versions of their infectiously catchy songs as well as giving us an insight into the band. On top of that, as a special bonus, Karim Fanous joins us once again in the studio, to voice his opinions on the evening.<br/><br/><br/>So, not only do you get two great sessions and Karim Fanous, you also get a massive playlist, full of all the best tracks from January and even a few new additions.<br/><br/>Playlist is as follows!<br/><br/><br/>1.

Stomach flu. What do these (hopefully) unrelated conditions have in common? Well, they can both keep you at home.<br/><br/>What`s that crazy DJ from California talking about this time? Well, last Saturday, as I stayed home with the stomach flu, my friends in Virginia, decidedly in the southern part of the US, got socked in by 14” of snow. That`s the part of the country that`s not supposed to get winter weather. I was supposed to do an on air CD release party with my friends The Taters, but it got scrubbed due to both reasons, although the folks in Richmond are heartier than I am. They would have come out in the snow, but alas, I didn`t come to my radio studio here in California with my little flu thing.<br/><br/>How does that all affect you? Well, in this week`s Tuesday Night Diner, we`ll have a great track from The Taters. Picture ELO gone Americana, and you`ll get the idea. And I planned this playlist while in the throes of the flu. The ravings of a madman? Perhaps, but I think you`ll find some method here. A rockin` new track from Chariots of Tuna—this keyboard-driven band breaks out the guitar, and goes berserk on my show. Karim Fanous with our Track of the Week—as announced on the Friday Forum. And a spooky, lush track from Kat Jones that will absolutely send shivers up your already chilled spine—but makes you want more. Now that`s a song! And finally—a listener request from Colorado.<br/><br/>One more thing—if you want to find out who were some of my favorite artists, songs, and albums for the year 2009, before I joined Recharged Radio, you might want to check out my other radio show, Twirl Radio. This coming Saturday, February 6th is the annual Twirlie Awards—4-6pm Pacific, at www.twirlradio.com. And lots of that great music is featured on my Tuesday Night Diner show, including this week`s episode. See you there-8-10pm Tuesday!</span></p><h2><span>The Justin Wayne Show Birthday Best Awards</span></h2><h3><span>01/02/2010 21:46:43</span></h3><p><span>To Be Aired here on Recharged Radio, Wednesday, the 3rd of February 2010 at 8pm GMT<br/><br/>As a prequel to the Recharged Radio Awards coming up in April, the Justin Wayne Show holds it`s 2nd Annual Birthday Best Awards Show.<br/> <br/>To mark another fabulous year of independent music on The Justin Wayne Show we`ve nominated the top 55 songs of the year that have been submitted to our show to be played on our Birthday Best Anniversary Show (This is out of over 1000 submissions this year!)

Or your month will be off to an awful start and terrible things will happen*<br/><br/>Jord<br/><br/><br/>*probably not but it`s going to be a good show </span></p><h2><span>Midweek Mailout</span></h2><h3><span>29/01/2010 14:37:14</span></h3><p><span>Hello,<br/><br/>If you haven`t guessed by now (I might have said before), the hardest<br/>part of writing these mailouts is getting them started. This is why I<br/>usually witter about the weather or something.<br/><br/>Today, I can`t think of a thing to write. I have lots of things to<br/>write about (I have a list!) but no way of starting it off.<br/><br/>However, I am going now so that technique worked. Ha! You just read a<br/>few sentences about absolutely nothing at all! Insert your own analogy<br/>- who said these emails were a passive affair?<br/><br/>First up - Awards. I might have told you this last week but they`re<br/>going to be in April over at 93ft East (we`re so down with the cool<br/>kids). Before this happens, we need to have stuff nominated and where<br/>better to start than our own shows? Both Mike and Justin Wayne are<br/>doing their own mini-awards (though they`d argue they were HUGE awards<br/>I`m sure and come hunt me for using the term `mini`). First up in all<br/>of this is Justin - the full details of his nominations will be<br/>appearing on rechargedradio.com very shortly, so go have a read over<br/>it and see who you fancy backing. You are allowed to back more than<br/>one band/person if you feel like it. I mean, shee... you are allowed<br/>to like more than one act (unlike in some places..!).<br/><br/>Second up - Project LR. The enigmatic fun new show we`re planning took<br/>a bit of a step forward this week when some of us went to see how it`s<br/>all progressing. We left with smiles on our faces, so much so, we`ll<br/>be announcing a date and telling you all in the next few weeks.<br/>Oooh...<br/><br/>Now to the schedule.<br/><br/>Thursday - Nothing being broadcast but we will be going down to HMS<br/>President to attend Night Of The Artisans, our own Pete Robbin`s<br/>night. Yes, we`re ON A BOAT. This means we`ve made it (apparently -<br/>see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8F3UE9qFsg). Anyway, if you<br/>do see us lurking by the bar watching last week`s Band In The<br/>Basement, The Fancy Toys, come see us for a badge. Directions are here<br/>www.hmspresident.com and myspace.com/nightoftheartisans<br/><br/>Friday, 7-9pm - The Friday Forum. This week, Ross and The Wronguns are<br/>live in session PLUS Karl Culley. Ooh double whammy. We`ve also got<br/>music from The Microdance, Rachel Kenedy, The Little Philistines,<br/>Jointpop and Karim Fanous (who will also be in the box, looking<br/>debonair as usual). studio@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Saturday, 8-9pm - Hits Of The Near Future. Andy Quirk`s (Hot Beds)<br/>podcast version of his old live night. This show is stupidly popular.<br/>Basking in his success, Andy is now planning bigger ventures, like<br/>BUYING A BOAT. Anyway. studio@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Man, fingers getting tired now...<br/><br/>Sunday, 5-7pm - The Music Unleashed Top 40 - Fill in yer own chart-<br/>speak. Basically, this is the chart that you decided so you`d better<br/>tune in at 5pm on Sunday to see if you did any good.<br/>chartshow@tourdates.co.uk<br/><br/>Sunday, 7-8pm - The 20-20 Hip Hop Show with Rob One. He`s done the 100<br/>show celebrations so it`s back to business as usual. Expect songs<br/>about BOATS and some pretty good tuneage. Rob@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>And finally, on Monday we have a special show for Livezone! Promotions<br/>from 7 until 8pm. Check the website for more details.<br/><br/>Finally finally - we`ve got alot of special shows over the next few<br/>weeks. ALOT. Check the site as much as you can.

Honest, I didn`t plan this, but as I got into the show, I found out that I had several songs which had days of the week as their titles, the band`s name, or hidden somewhere in the lyrics themselves. Weird, and kinda nerdy...but good.<br/><br/>But not to worry—this week`s show has much more going for it than just that. Jordan flew Isaac`s Aircraft all the way here to Sacramento for a great Bands in the Basement session. He speaks with Martin and Zak about their recent tour to Germany, and in true Tuesday Night Diner fashion, they mention food at German weddings—yum! And we`ll hear one of their recent tracks, as well.<br/><br/>Speaking of California—and even if we weren`t, we are now—another lucky person gets an honorary California citizenship bestowed on them. Not only that, but she requested her own version of climate change, and I happily complied. Huh? Well, you`ll just have to tune in to find out.<br/><br/>Finally—more musical goodness coming out of Northern California. When it rains, it pours—both literally and figuratively. A couple of legendary Sacramento musicians—Anton Barbeau and Allyson Seconds—are making their Tuesday Night Diner debuts with songs off of their new albums. We Sacramentans can`t keep Anton all to ourselves—so he makes his home in the UK most of the year. We just request to have visitation rights with him once a year, and I got to meet with him and Allyson a few days ago. If you like Robyn Hitchcock, you`ll probably feel a kinship with Anton. Allyson just completed a great pop project called Bag of Kittens, and the Go National guitarist and background vocalist steps up to the microphone and takes the lead for the first time in her career. All I can say is, “it`s about time!”<br/><br/>So that`s about it. Stop reading, and set your clocks for 8-10 p.m. GMT on Tuesday (noon-2 p.m. Pacific), at www.rechargedradio.com. I hope you can join the fun!</span></p><h2><span>Listen Again To : Tourdates Chart and The Tuesday Night</span></h2><h3><span>22/01/2010 12:30:26</span></h3><p><span>Available now on the player.<br/><br/>Dave x</span></p><h2><span>Recharged Radio`s Mailout - The Underground Edition</span></h2><h3><span>22/01/2010 01:13:13</span></h3><p><span>Afternoon,<br/><br/>I`ve entitled this mailout rather literally. Yes, I am currently<br/>underground and feel like I have been for the last few days, only<br/>coming up after dark to feed (a bit like a mole.. or something else<br/>that lives down in the dark, dark depths). My only communication with<br/>the outside world has been through email.<br/><br/>However, there is a purpose to my hiding the confines of the studios<br/>here at Maple Street and that will become evident a little later.<br/><br/>Before I get into the `what`s coming up` bit of this email, a quick<br/>gig plug (well, two actually). Firstly, at The Monarch tonight<br/>(nearest Tube is Chalk Farm) Fearless Vampire Killers are playing and<br/>they`re onstage at 8:30. On Saturday, Hotbeds are playing at O2<br/>Academy 2 in Islington, again at 8pm so if you want to see a fun stage<br/>show plus some great electro music, head there.<br/><br/>Right, now to schedule things.<br/><br/>Tonight, 7-8pm - Night Of The Artisans, with Pete Robbins. The radio<br/>show version of the live night, Pete will be delving into who he`s<br/>been booking recently, so if you can`t make fit down to a live Night<br/>of The Artisan, catch it here on RR with a glass of port and some<br/>Stilton.

Also, Springbok Hip-Hop guru Rob<br/>One will be nipping down and also, an old member of the RR team will<br/>be making a rare appearance!

Tuesday from 8 to 10pm as not only will he have some great<br/>tracks from the other side of the pond but he`ll also be featuring<br/>Issac`s Aircraft in an interview we did with them about a week ago.<br/>This band have been going from strength to strength since they<br/>launched their last single in Fopp Records (they played in store too!)<br/>so it`s well worth a listen.<br/><br/>Also next week, on Wednesday, our very own Justin Wayne will be<br/>talking about his awards show which will be complimenting the RR<br/>awards which will be taking place in April (date TBC).

The first ever band interview here on Tuesday Night Diner. I went all the way out to beautiful California to meet the Corner Laughers. Oh wait—I live in California—so I guess the journey to the Golden State is not that impressive. But you want to talk impressive—let`s talk about the Corner Laughers.<br/><br/>I caught up with Karla, Angela, Khoi, Charlie, and the Fifth Laugher, KC Bowman, at a Starbucks in Midtown Sacramento on a recent Saturday night. I hadn`t met this upbeat pop-alternative band before, and where did I find them? In the corner, of course! We killed some time and some coffee in anticipation of their first ever Sacramento gig, opening for the legendary Sacramento/UK (sound familiar?) singer-songwriter Anton Barbeau.<br/><br/>We overcame such obstacles as loud baristas and their even louder coffee grinding machines, to bring you this one of a kind, hard-hitting, in the trenches look at life on the road for the Corner Laughers. Okay, truth be known, it`s only about a 90 minute drive from their hometown of San Francisco to Sacramento, and they all seemed to get along pretty well, so there`s really no controversy there. But it was really great to find out what makes them tick, and how they survived the transition from a shy studio recording act to a live, International Pop Overthrow sensation. We`ll also hear about how they signed to John Wesley Harding`s Popover Corps label. But don`t worry—the creamy filling of this conversation is held together by two crisp songs off of their recent release, Ultraviolet Garden.<br/><br/>This is also the show where we start bestowing honorary California citizenships on two lucky, or at least attentive, listeners. That`s right—you too can become an honorary California citizen. Just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com, and I can make it happen. You`ll receive a beautifully handcrafted PDF file certificate, delivered via express email, right to the inbox of your choosing. You`ll hear these two get their awards on the show—and you should join them too!<br/><br/>There will be tons of other great music as well. Join us for all the fun on Tuesday night, 8-10pm GMT (12-2 pm Pacific) at www.rechargedradio.com. We`ll be waiting for you in the chatroom, so don`t be late!</span></p><h2><span>Recharged Radio`s Syberian Winter Edition</span></h2><h3><span>17/01/2010 23:33:04</span></h3><p><span>Some days, starting these emails is the hardest thing in the world.<br/><br/>The first thing that ALWAYS comes to mind is the weather, then I think<br/>`no, that`s too British` but sadly, the weather has been unavoidable<br/>this week. Keeps on hitting you in the face. Like a *insert your own<br/>wit here*<br/><br/>Anyway, like I said last week, this means you won`t want to leave the<br/>house so sit in and listen to Recharged Radio instead.<br/><br/>A big thank you needs to go to Mike and Justin who both did fantastic<br/>first shows back. I rarely get chance to talk about them in this<br/>mailout as 9 times out of 10 it goes out after their shows have aired<br/>but you can catch them on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively, from<br/>8-10pm.<br/><br/>Speaking of shows, this is what this week`s schedule looks like...<br/><br/>Saturday - Nowt. Move along.<br/><br/>Sunday - 5-7pm - The Music Unleashed Top 40. Yes, another week,<br/>another chart. Will Projekt make it two weeks at the top with Ocean<br/>Passage? Tune in for this next thrilling instalment! Also with added<br/>Murray. chartshow@tourdates.co.uk<br/><br/>7-8pm - 20-20 Hip Hop Show. I must confess, I missed this last week...<br/>whoops. Sorry Rob. Come make amends with me and listen to a Springbok<br/>talk about (and play) HipHop. Rob@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Now to a few other bits and bobs. Rachel Kenedy`s session track is now<br/>on our myspace player so go have a listen when you have something<br/>boring to do and need it to be made more pleasurable! Also, she`s<br/>playing at The Bull and Gate in Kentish Town this evening, so go if<br/>you can! Also, the wonderful Engineer Records (wonderful because of<br/>their unfailing support of RR - they provided 100 CDs for our<br/>Christmas party!) are planning a big charity event at a skatepark in<br/>Rochester on Saturday the 13th of February. More information can be<br/>found over at engineerrecords.com and we`ll also be doing a small<br/>preview show for them a little closer to the event!<br/><br/>Finally, we have a VERY busy next few weeks here at RR. Bands that<br/>will be making a reappearance with us include J*e*s*p*a, Black Bikini<br/>Alpha and The Fancy Toys to name but a few!

You`ve also probably noticed that you listen to Tuesday Night Diner here on Recharged Radio, mainly because I haven`t been able to fly you all out to Sacramento each week, where we could just listen to all this great music together in the same room. (It`s not that I don`t want to—the finances just don`t permit it—yet!)<br/><br/>So what`s the next best thing? How about if I grant you an honorary California citizenship? That`s a new thing I`m starting up on the show. Just drop me an email at mike(at)rechargedradio.com, and let me know your name—I`ll say it on the air, and put it on the beautiful, hand-engraved PDF file that I`ll email back to you. This certificate may not be valid in most places, but you`ll be an honorary California citizen as far as Tuesday Night Diner is concerned!<br/><br/>Music. Ah yes, the reason why Recharged Radio exists. What a great show we have to start off 2010 with. It`s the Night of the Ukuleles—featuring songs by three different bands led by female ukulele players. We`ll hear my new favorite band the Corner Laughers, from San Francisco. There`s Mad Tea Party from North Carolina. And finally, Tippy Canoe and the Paddlemen, from Oakland, California. Three different style of music—but all very cool.<br/><br/>More about those Corner Laughers. I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Karla, Angela, Khoi and Charlie, plus fifth Laugher KC, about a week ago when they came through Sacramento. These guys and gals are going to be big—and they`ll be regular fixtures on TND as long as they`ll let me play their music. What do they sound like? Picture alternative rock/pop (the good, early 90`s kind), with perfect female harmonies and zoomy guitars—throw in a tasteful, rockin` ukulele for good measure, and you`ve got it! We`ll talk more about them next week, because that`s when you`ll get to hear our conversation!<br/><br/>Who else? Joseph Swidenbank, The Taters, Dom Veron, Field, Karim Fanous, Terese Taylor. Did I just give too much away? Naaah. I`m just giving you reasons to listen to the show Tuesday night, 8:00-10:00 p.m. See you there!<br/></span></p><h2><span>The Friday Forum Podcast is Up</span></h2><h3><span>10/01/2010 18:35:52</span></h3><p><span>Hey guys!,<br/>Just finishing off uploading last Fridays show to itunes and the listen again player.<br/><br/>I thought for the new year Id go over the different ways you can get our podcast!<br/><br/>You can download both the enhanced and mp3 only flavours of the podcast through itunes<br/><br/>http://ax.search.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/search?media=all&restrict=false&submit=media&term=Recharged+Radio<br/><br/>Or you can subscribe by email to get podcasts as soon as their uploaded straight to your inbox!

Full-Stop.</span></h2><h3><span>10/01/2010 17:40:11</span></h3><p><span>That`s right, it`s friggin` "TWENTY-TEN".  I`ll have none of this "two-thousand and ten" business.  Not while I`m around and have a keyboard to tipiddy-tap on!<br/><br/>I hope you all had a great holiday!  I spent loads of time with my family, friends, and even got in some good face time with something called "Modern Warfare 2."<br/><br/>We had loads of snow!  Come visit me on Facebook to see some of our pictures, even one where it was so cold outside (nearly -20 Celsius) that we had to wear stocking hats in the hot tub!  (Someone asked why we were even in the hot tub at that temperature... I just laughed and walked away.)<br/><br/>The wife and I even got to kick it in Chi-town (that`s Chicago, Illinois for you UK peeps) with my newly engaged buddy Jason (also of JW Show web copyrighting fame) and even met the bride-to-be!  We were very impressed, and they took us for drinks atop the John Hancock tower.  95th Floor y`all!<br/><br/>However, I did next-to-nothing with the show during the holidays but over the past week since we`ve been back (got back on the 3rd of January to more snow here in London) I`ve been working my tail off.  Along with David Couch and the rest of us here at The JW Show we`re going to make sure you`ve got a brilliant anniversary show coming up the first week of February.  Can you believe that we`ve been around for two years now?<br/><br/>That`s right, our anniversary awards show The Justin Wayne Show Birthday Best is coming up on the 3rd of February and we`ve got loads of great  music to feature both in the nomination podcasts and in the big show on the 3rd.  We`ll be playing bits and pieces but also putting out two podcasts dedicated to the nominations.  Keep your eyes here for more.  They`re probably going to be the best music podcasts ever.  EVERRRRRRrrrrrr.<br/><br/>I suppose that`s it for me for the moment!  Back to producing those aforementioned best podcasts ever...<br/><br/>...oh, and see you LIVE back again on Wednesday!!<br/><br/>Cheers,<br/><br/>~JW</span></p><h2><span>Recharged Radio`s New Year Mailout</span></h2><h3><span>10/01/2010 00:41:38</span></h3><p><span>Hello!<br/><br/>Happy new year! This is the first mailout of the new year, so is<br/>therefore probably going to be on a budget (cos we`re all skint at the<br/>moment..!)<br/><br/>Oh it`s no good. I need coffee. Back in a sec.<br/><br/>(wanders off)<br/><br/>(comes back)<br/><br/>Right, that`s better. Where was I.. oh yes. New year things.<br/><br/>I`ll get straight down to business. Tonight`s show was going to be New<br/>Subs. WAS going to be, until the snow made the railways not want to<br/>play Trans-Siberian Railroad and really put the kibosh on our panel`s<br/>plans for getting home after The Trip To The Ship. So now we`re doing<br/>a small look forward to what 2010 will hold for RR (a preview, if you<br/>will). Andy from The Scratch will be joining us on the phone to talk<br/>about what he`s got up his sleeve. Rumour has it he`s put together a<br/>show for us that has a big name on it (as in famous person, not<br/>Arbuthnot Humperdink-Smythe). We`ll quiz him later. Finally (but by no<br/>means leastly) Rob Powell from Projekt will be joining us IN PERSON<br/>as:<br/><br/>1. It`s his birthday and he couldn`t think of anything better to do<br/>(Happy birthday Rob!)<br/>2. He`s from Up Nurth and a bi` o snurr wurnt stop `im.<br/><br/>(by the way, Minki is also from Up Nurth but snow has stopped her as<br/>she`s stuck in France. I suppose it was a combination of the weather<br/>and the Channel).<br/><br/>So if you`re stuck in this evening (entirely likely), then trot over<br/>to rechargedradio.com and hit Listen Now at 7pm. We`re braving the<br/>weather to bring you new music! Thanks to Alex for the playlist, it<br/>looks excellent as ever.<br/><br/>If you`re stuck in for the weekend (again, entirely likely), then you<br/>might like to listen to the following....<br/><br/>Saturday - 8-9pm - Hits Of The Near Future, with Andy Quirk. As the<br/>previous two shows were a roaring success (over 4,000 downloads for<br/>the podcast alone!), Andy thought he might as well do another one!<br/>This time, he`ll be featuring Black Poets, The Little Philistines, Vix<br/>and the Kix and of course Hot Beds. hitsofthenearfuture.com<br/><br/>Sunday - 5-7pm - The Music Unleashed Top 40. Must say, it`s well worth<br/>a listen this week. I have a sneaky suspicion that there will be some<br/>good, if not great tracks in there...and all available to download FOR<br/>FREE from tourdates.co.uk. Also, Murray will be doing his news and<br/>gigs (which is always entertaining!) chartshow@tourdates.co.uk<br/><br/>Sunday - 7-8pm - 20-20 - Rob One will be bringing us the best in<br/>underground, independent hiphop. If you haven`t listened to this yet,<br/>do so. Rob knows his shizzle. rob@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>As ever, keep checking the website for missed and upcoming shows.<br/>We`ve got alot starting this year. My god, do we have alot starting...<br/><br/>Before I let you go though, do us a favour.

If you want to make a pun on the word `recharged` (for example, "Give the recharged team time to recharge") then you may. It`s fine. <br/><br/>We`re back on the 8th of January at 7pm with the New Year Friday Forum, followed swiftly the next day by Hits Of The Near Future, at 8pm. Make sure you join us for that.<br/><br/>Until then, drink, eat and be merry!<br/><br/>We will!<br/><br/>Merry Christmas.<br/><br/>Jordan and The Recharged Team.</span></p><h2><span>Music Sucks.</span></h2><h3><span>18/12/2009 11:31:26</span></h3><p><span>Oh it does, it does. Well, mainstream music anyway. <br/><br/>Going to drift into a Bill Hicks-ism here. If you find yourself past 30, at an Enemy gig, wearing a polo shirt and punching the air...go out the back and shoot yourself. You`re making the rest of us depressed, you bloody clone!<br/><br/>But never fear, Recharged Radio is here! It`s the last Friday Forum of the year tonight, so if you`re snowed in at 7pm, come listen. We`ve got a round up of 2009 where we`re going to be playing all the stuff we reckon has been great from this year, plus a live session from Rachel `Superfan` Kenedy. We`re all looking forward to it, as it`s a rare chance to indulge ourselves in the name of promoting real new music!!<br/><br/>And finally, before I sign off, someone said the other day that the underground scene has been crap this year (I wonder if they were at an Enemy gig...), which we would sincerely dispute. It`s been great, no really, it has. If you disagree, listen at 7pm. Colours to the mast, etc.! <br/><br/>Speak to ya later<br/><br/>Jord </span></p><h2><span>Recharged Radio`s End Of Year Midweek Mailout</span></h2><h3><span>18/12/2009 10:09:51</span></h3><p><span>Hello and welcome to the final mailout for 2009.<br/><br/>I`ve given the entire RR staff Christmas off too, so we`ll be back on<br/>the 8th January for the Friday Forum. However, if you want to email<br/>anybody, I haven`t banned them from that so they might answer...<br/>though they might be drunk.<br/><br/>So, as this is the final mailout, I`m going to be serious for a change<br/>and put the irreverence and wit on hold for a bit. `Oh no,` you cry,<br/>`He`s going to get preachy...` Well, make yer own mind up on that...!<br/><br/>2009 has been a great year for Recharged Radio. We`ve had some great<br/>sessions, great interviews, great tracks and some really, really fun<br/>shows. If you`re a regular listener to what we do, yes, we really do<br/>have that much fun doing it. I thought about listing some of the<br/>people that have been really important to us over the year but (and<br/>yes, I`m aware of how this sounds) the people have been too numerous<br/>to mention. Just take it from me, however small your contribution to<br/>us, I`m saying thanks now. We couldn`t do this without you (cos<br/>otherwise it would be a bunch of saddos in one room wittering about<br/>bands you``ve never heard of - and we could do that down the pub!).<br/><br/>2009 saw us turn from a show into a small station and take on a few<br/>more presenters and build a foundation from where we can grow. We have<br/>some fun things lined up for 2010. Can`t say too much about them but<br/>we are currently looking at doing much larger sessions in the near<br/>future, plus expanding our schedule into more shows and also another<br/>fun thing which we can do involving people`s living rooms. Watch this<br/>space (and I`ll probably give it away on air anyway!).<br/><br/>Anyway, back to the present.<br/><br/>Tonight, 8-10pm - The Justin Wayne Show. I`ll let him explain what`s<br/>going on!<br/><br/>"We`ve got a CRACKIN` track of the week - brand new from a band never<br/>before played on the show. Yours Til Death`s leadoff track to their<br/>new EP "Delivered" is called "Cut and Paste", quite easily sneaking<br/>into the TOTW here on The JW Show. Also, a Chicago-ian who has just<br/>moved to London sent us her album, and so you`ll get a sampling of<br/>Elisabeth Blair (or hit http://elisabethblair.net) this week too!"<br/>justin@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Thanks JW...<br/><br/>Friday, 7-9pm - The Friday Forum - The last one of the year and we`re<br/>having a bit of a round up over what we thought was great from 2009.<br/>Arguments have already started, so we`ve had to have a look at the<br/>advent calendar again and decide from there! Also, we`ve got Recharged<br/>Superfan Rachel Kenedy live in session, so should be a great show to<br/>end the year. studio@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Sunday - 5-7pm - The Music Unleashed Top 40 - Ooh!

It seems like Christmas music is everywhere. Booooring...same old songs serve as the soundtrack for what is otherwise a really nice time of year.<br/><br/>Chef Mike to the rescue. What if I presented to you three Christmas songs that sound like none you`ve ever heard before? We`ve got Wayne Stateley and the Manor`s with a song about the exploitation of the season. Some say these guys invaded Pete Hackett`s Cult of Wedge West Midlands bunker studios and forced him to record this one. Too cynical? How about Kat Jones with a song about the reason for the season--one of the most beautiful and unexpected holiday songs I`ve ever heard. And lastly, how about a taste of sunshine from my favorite Canadian honorary Californian, Laurie Biagini? If you could spend Christmas at the beach, this is how you`d do it.<br/><br/>But don`t worry--that`s not all we`ve got. We also have our usual Tuesday night genre-hopping mix, which goes from hard rock to reggae, country, and alternative, and back again. Lots of debuts, which is kind of what you`d expect from a show that`s only 5 weeks old. Several bands took the initiative to send me some of their great music, and their efforts have been rewarded with airplay on the single best show that we air on Tuesday nights--and I can say that with full confidence!<br/><br/>There`s a new band called Thinking For Tuesday which Jordan sent my way, partly because I`m American, and he thought it would be a good fit for my tastes (whatever those might be), and partly, I think, because of the name--you simply must play a band like that on Tuesday. I`d like to know what you think--if you`re American, do you like their style of music? And if you`re British, do you also like it, or leave it to the Americans?<br/><br/>Drop me a note--mike(at)rechargedradio.com. I`d love to hear your take on this, and the other music we play. Make a request. Take a stand. But listen!<br/><br/>See you Tuesday nights, 8:00-10:00 p.m.</span></p><h2><span>ooh it`s Friday and that means The Forum</span></h2><h3><span>11/12/2009 13:55:04</span></h3><p><span>Mymy, doesn`t the week fly. One minute we`re waiting for Wyld Andrew and Fake Teak to perform, next we`re expecting Kitty and The Canopners to walk in the door. <br/><br/>So they`re on tonight, along with Laura Catlow, Tony and Denise from Manilla PR and Steve `Ste-Bo` Honest. Tune in at 7pm. Or else. <br/><br/>MN2bDNC!<br/><br/>Jord and the gang. </span></p><h2><span>08.12.09: Tuesday Night Diner: Freezing in Cali!</span></h2><h3><span>08/12/2009 06:38:37</span></h3><p><span>Wow--it`s snowing in Sacramento, California! Really--well, not where I live, but in certain parts of town. Unbelievable--that`s the first time in 33 years. Here where I live, it`s kind of a bummer to be this cold and NOT snow--all we got is really cold water.<br/><br/>Why am I telling you this? Hmmm...I guess this is the blog equivalent of making small talk.<br/><br/>So good evening! This week`s Tuesday Night Diner is chock full of musical goodness from all over the English-speaking world--and even parts of the Spanish-speaking world! We`ll be featuring bands from Argentina, California, and the UK. Domus hails from Argentina, and, well, they`re pretty cool--lots of lively, tasteful, Argentinian acoustic guitar licks. Terese Taylor hails from San Francisco, and sounds a little like early Liz Phair, but without all that "men are evil and they done me wrong" vibe. And Maxi Dunn sends some holiday sweetness our way--in her wistful way.<br/><br/>30 tracks, I tell you. 30 tracks! I`ve squeezed so much music into this show, it`s going to pop if you don`t listen to it. But don`t let that happen--join me on the Tuesday Night Diner--8:00-10:00 p.m. It`d be a shame to waste all this musical goodness!</span></p><h2><span>05.12.09 Friday Forum Playlist - `December`s New Subs Show`</span></h2><h3><span>05/12/2009 18:27:45</span></h3><p><span>As usual our first Friday show of the month is dedicated to the best new tracks that have been sent through to us!

Oh who cares, get the<br/>chocolate out of the back of your child`s advent calendar (if you<br/>can`t find a child to upset, borrow one).<br/><br/>Speaking of which, over at RechargedRadio.com, you`ll find our own<br/>take on the yuletide process. Yes, we have an advent calendar (and<br/>snow) with a band from the RR playlist behind each window! Check back<br/>every day to find out which band is behind the day`s window! A note to<br/>the selection process though, before we get accused of nepotism; we<br/>had 24 days and many more bands to pick from. So, we made it fair and<br/>each suggested five bands each, stuck them in a hat and made the<br/>process random. Don`t email back and say `oh, so who did you suggest<br/>Jord?` because I`m not saying...! So there. *sticks out tongue*. A big<br/>50ft hand goes to Minki for doing the legwork. Tar, Mink.<br/><br/>Now, because this email is early this week, I can write about a few<br/>things in small detail before rushing off to the week`s schedule. So,<br/>before you scroll down, read on...<br/><br/>- Projekt have released Ocean Passage today. Yey. More info soon to be<br/>found here! Tourdates.co.uk/projekt (where you can listen to the song<br/>in question in full - none of this 30 second sample crap...)<br/><br/>- The Scratch have just released a video for Teen Idol. Double Yey.<br/>Can be found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvuBlsPaVVs<br/><br/>- Fearless Vampire Killers played a blinder of a gig last night at<br/>their launch party for their new single `I am Gonna Leave You`. Also<br/>on the bill were Zebedy Rays and The Furbelows (who were blighted by<br/>terrible sound.. go cheer them up at tourdates.co.uk/the-furbelows).<br/>Anyway, FVK really made the night their own so well done to them!<br/>tourdates.co.uk/fearless-vampire-killers. Triple yey with cheese.<br/><br/>Now, the schedule:<br/><br/>Tonight 8-10pm - Tuesday Night Diner (aka, The Friday Forum for kids)<br/>with Mike and the...er..Waitress. It`s an American version of what we<br/>do but not like Justin Wayne (cos he says `mum` these days) but good<br/>nonetheless. Tune in. Or else. mike@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Tomorrow 8-10pm - The Justin Wayne Show, with Justin Wayne<br/>(predictably). Lord knows what he`ll be playing but expect someone to<br/>be loitering on Skype while he does it - there usually is. Again, an<br/>entertaining listen...!<br/>justinw@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Thursday, 7-9pm - TBC. The reason I say this is that it`s not<br/>confirmed yet. Check the website for service bulletins. Or something.<br/><br/>Friday, 7-9pm - The Friday Forum, with me and some RR staff (probably<br/>Dave, Al and Minki). Also joining us will be Wyld, Andrew from Fake<br/>Teak and...the other one from Fake Teak who I`ve met once and who<br/>looks a little like a smaller version of Tony from Jespa. Nice chap<br/>tho. Anyway, they`ll be along, along with Karim Fanous and a special<br/>guest. Find out who on Friday! Final note to this show, this will be<br/>the final new subs show for 2009 so tune in! Studio@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Saturday - Nowt.<br/><br/>Sunday, 5-7pm - The Music Unleashed Top 40. Unleashing music.<br/>Independent style. chartshow@tourdates.co.uk<br/>7-8pm - 20-20 with Rob One. I`ve heard a rumour somewhere in the mill<br/>that Rob will be hosting his own mini awards show soon - maybe this<br/>could be it? At least he`ll be talking about it, so if you`re into<br/>your Hip-Hop, listen in and find out how to nominate!<br/>rob@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>As ever, keep us up to date with your gigs and news!

The December 1st edition of Tuesday Night Diner, is by default, the very first program to air over Recharged Radio in December! Heavy responsibility there, and I hope to be up for the task.<br/><br/>Here`s the plan. Lots of debuts. Some hard rockin` music. Some country songs. A couple of humorous tunes. And a couple of requests taken right out of our chatroom during last week`s show. Our waitress Shirley will take your song orders, and I will serve them up, all hot and steamy and stuff.<br/><br/>Back to that country theme for a second. I`ll be debuting a track by Skip Heller--just to prove that good country music can be made in Los Angeles (a place better known for X, Los Lobos, Guns `N Roses, The Doors, Van Halen, etc.) But if you`re not a country fan, just wait three minutes, and I`ll change the format of the show again. And again. And again. We`re getting known on these Tuesday night airwaves for our rapid music mood swings. Not to worry--it`s all good. Tuesday Night Diner has something for everybody to love--and to hate! (Mostly love, I think.)<br/><br/>More big news--our brand new Advent calendar is on the upper right hand corner of the home page, under "It`s Christmas". Our own Miss Minki created this incredibly cool countdown calendar, and each day features one of our favorite artists here at Recharged Radio. We all had a say on who appears on this calendar, and I think you`ll be quite pleased. Just come back each day between now and Christmas Eve, for a brand new artist.<br/><br/>Well, that`s about all for now. Join me, Chef Mike, on Tuesday night from 8:00-10:00 p.m. for simply the best music on that night in that timeslot on this station. Guaranteed!</span></p><h2><span>Late start... </span></h2><h3><span>28/11/2009 21:04:46</span></h3><p><span>Hello,<br/><br/>Due to internet connectivity problems (or something...),  tonight`s Hits Of The Near Future will be starting a little later than scheduled at 9pm! <br/><br/>Apo-logies.<br/><br/>Team Recharged</span></p><h2><span>Recharged Radio`s `Good Lord, It`s Almost Christmas` Mailout</span></h2><h3><span>27/11/2009 20:07:44</span></h3><p><span>Hello,<br/><br/>Yes, Good Lord. It`s Almost Crimbo. Seems like only other day I was<br/>writing one of these, doesn`t time fly, seems to come earlier every<br/>year but everything is left to the last minute and we`re not doing<br/>presents this year as no-one wants anything really, oh no, you<br/>shouldn`t have - no, really, you shouldn`t. I didn`t. Bugger.<br/><br/>Right, now that all that malarkey is out of the way, time to talk<br/>Recharged!<br/><br/>The more observant of you might have noticed that we seem to have alot<br/>more shows here on RR of late and you`d have been right! Lots of new<br/>stuff happening here - as well as all the music - and will continue to<br/>happen right the way into the new year. Lots of new regular weekly and<br/>monthly shows, so make sure you`re keeping an eye on<br/>rechargedradio.com for what`s going on on which night of the week.<br/>There`s usually something fun going on - we have real live Americans<br/>broadcasting for us two days a week now!<br/><br/>But back to these shores, what be going on tomorrow, Saturday and<br/>Sunday? Pray, tell...<br/><br/>Friday, 7-9pm - The Friday Forum, Featuring Hotbeds and the Pick Of<br/>The Month thingy. We`ve got some Field, Serpentfly, Fearless Vampire<br/>Killers` new single, OK and Jarmean? (who we saw at the popular Cirque<br/>De Creme Anglaise last week after the show) to name but a few!<br/>Studio@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Saturday, 8-9pm  - Andy Quirk presents Hits Of The Near Future.<br/>Formerly at Catch-22 in Haggerston (not Shoreditch - I have proof!),<br/>this is the new radio version of the old live show. It`s quite fun.<br/>Also, he might feature Hotbeds. Maybe. studio@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Sunday, 5-7pm - The Music Unleashed Top 40 - More interesting than<br/>other slightly more predictable charts are these days. Murray also<br/>makes a return this week. Get in touch with the show -<br/>chartshow@tourdates.co.uk<br/><br/>Sunday, 7-8pm - The 20-20 Hip-Hop show, with Rob One (cos there only<br/>is one Rob One). Rob, as usual, finds the best underground music from<br/>the streets... something seems wrong with that sentence... not sure<br/>how. Anyway, tune in! rob@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>Finally, a mention needs to go to the Tourdates Musician`s Clinic,<br/>which takes place at The Hawley Arms once a month. The final clinic<br/>before Christmas was held on Monday this week and was a huge success,<br/>as it has been for all of 2009. If you were involved in any way (on<br/>the panel, or a band/artist who came along) then thank you very much<br/>for your support. Here`s to more good events in 2010 and to the people<br/>who gave me CDs on Monday (again, you know who you are!)

I realised last night that it was time for another show returning to the thing that matters most - the music.<br/><br/>One thing we`ll have to be thankful for is a track or two from Field`s album which has just arrived in the post.  Come along to the live show at 8pm and get your words in about it.  It`s absolutely delicious!<br/><br/>Tonight`s show will be PACKED with new and old tunes from the JW Show catalogue as well as many "thanks!" going out to loads of people as it`s Thanksgiving on Thursday and I`m American.  I`ve even got the dough ready for my Grandma`s special cinnamon rolls.  <br/><br/>Come along for music and a cinammon roll.  We`ll put the kettle on!<br/><br/>~JW</span></p><h2><span>24.11.09 Tuesday Night Diner: DJ`s Are People Too!</span></h2><h3><span>24/11/2009 04:54:44</span></h3><p><span>Well, it seemed like last week`s inaugural edition of Tuesday Night Diner was a huge success--or at least not a rousing failure, as evidenced by the fact that no one has kicked me out on my posterior!<br/><br/>So with that in mind, I get to keep going. And I`ve got a great selection of tuneage for you this week, ranging from rock to blues to ukebilly, and more. Ukebilly? Well, you`ll just have to tune in to find out more about this compelling musical genre, as practised (note the excellent British spelling--not bad for a lad from California, eh?) by Mad Tea Party. You`ll also hear Maxi Dunn, Chancellorpink, and brand new music from one of my very favorite (American spelling, to prove I`m bilingual) bands, The Taters, from Richmond, Virginia.<br/><br/>And just who do I think I am to be spending two hours of your valuable Tuesday night with you? Why, I`m Chef Mike, proprietor of the Tuesday Night Diner! And I hope you`ll join me, every Tuesday night, from 8:00-10:00 p.m., as I serve you tasty musical morsels. Hope to see you there!</span></p><h2><span>20.11.09 Friday Forum - `The Stages of Dan` - Playlist</span></h2><h3><span>23/11/2009 01:19:52</span></h3><p><span>With Guests Stages of Dan.<br/><br/>This weeks Friday Forum sees Stages of Dan in our studio.

His show is called Tuesday Night Diner, and strangely enough, it airs on, ahem, Tuesday nights from 8:00-10:00 p.m.<br/><br/>Chef Mike comes to us all the way from Sacramento, California, USA, and serves up two hours of some of the finest indie music from both sides of the Atlantic! A longtime Sacramento radio personality, he was invited to join the staff at Recharged after flattering the right person!<br/><br/>Also--feel free to email requests, and he`ll see if he can cook them up for you next week (if it`s something like what you hear on the show). Just drop a line to: mike at rechargedradio dot com. Feedback--all kinds--is appreciated!<br/><br/>Thanks so much, and we hope you`ll check it out!<br/><br/>There, I`ve done it. I wrote this whole thing in the third person. Whew, that`s pretty tiring, pretending to be someone else. All that fake objectivity. I just hope you like the show!</span></p><h2><span>Music Unleashed top 40 - Sunday 15th November</span></h2><h3><span>16/11/2009 12:58:15</span></h3><p><span>oioi,<br/><br/>Here`s this week`s chart for your viewing pleasure.

Further update to follow shortly...<br/>Jord </span></p><h2><span>JW Show BRIEF update...</span></h2><h3><span>09/11/2009 21:14:21</span></h3><p><span>...as to not have the piss taken out for writing too much I`ll just do a quick but AWESOME update for this week`s show.<br/><br/>We`ve got Zalinski (http://zalinski.co.uk) on the show this week on interview about their new EP called Actions, Reactions, and Misunderstandings that`s out on November 10th.  It`s really good, so we`ll play a few tracks from it too!  Woot!  Yeah, I just wooted.<br/><br/>As another favorite to Recharged, Uncle Meat and the Highway Children are on the road (or on the highway?) I`ll be reading a passage, verse, or excerpt from their action-packed and interesting travel journal.<br/><br/>Brief, right.  So that`s me done for this week.  Come listen live Wednesday at 8pm GMT.  (I say GMT for my US mates, but you UKers can come, and should come, too.)<br/><br/>Cheers, ~JW</span></p><h2><span>No show tonight...</span></h2><h3><span>05/11/2009 17:19:57</span></h3><p><span>Bad news, I`m afraid - in a change to tonight`s billing Isabella Scarlet has a fever so won`t be doing her show this evening. <br/><br/>She blames this on doing too much and being flat out since she came back from Africa, to which we say have a break woman!!<br/><br/>However, she will be back next Thursday to do all the stuff she planned for this Thursday... just a week late. <br/><br/>In the meantime, you can go to her next night at the Hawley Arms this coming Monday. Martha Wainwright is going to be playing and with luck, you might spot a Winehouse... <br/><br/>RR will be back tomorrow night at 7pm with new subs, missdavinalee and Andy off of The Scratch (and his shoes). <br/><br/>However, if you do desperately want something to listen to in the meantime, have a browse through the listen again files above - I`m sure there`s something in there you haven`t heard!<br/><br/>Music Needs To Be Driven Not Controlled...!<br/><br/>Jord </span></p><h2><span>JW Show Preview - Cliches, EPs and Bikinis</span></h2><h3><span>02/11/2009 20:20:57</span></h3><p><span>No, I didn`t go on holiday to Hawaii.  Should do, though!<br/><br/>Phil from the Modern Cliches joins us this week to enlighten us on how a band wins an Oxford Battle of the Bands and then somehow ends up in Camden on a balcony doing a internet TV program.  We also spin the new single, Your Lucky Numbers.<br/><br/>As a special treat and in response to getting their track played at Track of the Week (on the JW Show) Zalinski have sent us the new tracks off their upcoming EP.  We`ll spin one of those and enlighten you on when and where you can learn more and get this rockin` EP.<br/><br/>We`ll also be highlighting the latest David Couch review as he`s just done the album Replace, Rewire by Wellness out of New York. <br/><br/>Our second Track of the Week here at The Justin Wayne Show is a special one as it was handed to be at the Trenton and Free Radical single launch (which was off the hook, btw) by Phil of Futureproof Records: "Nightmare" by Black Bikini Alpha.  Definitely something to look forward to.<br/><br/>I might also go on about the weekly shop, how Jordan can`t REALLY grow a beard, and all that other kind of silly stuff that happens LIVE again this week 8pm GMT (because the US and the UK are back to proper time... I did enjoy that nice lie in last Sunday.)<br/><br/>Ta for now, see you Wednesday (or sometime Thursday for the podcast.)<br/><br/>~JW</span></p><h2><span>29.10.09 Sinjitos Records Showcase Playlist</span></h2><h3><span>29/10/2009 20:02:20</span></h3><p><span>Playlist for tonights Sinjitos Records Showcase<br/><br/>1.

Now for you non-Star Trekkies...<br/><br/>Show this week`s got LOADS!  So much I`ve barely been able to get away to promote it.  Lemme give you a quick rundown.<br/><br/>   1. Interview with Brett Leboff - CEO of Monumental Music Group - including stuff about his single releases this week, the music biz, etc...<br/>   2. My first Track of the Week as I finally get on the Recharged Radio bandwagon with my own TOTW - it`s "Honesty Policy" from a new band to the show, Zalinski.  I knew my first TOTW was going to have to be good and this one certainly is.<br/>   3. A video feature (on radio?) along with the great song that`s behind it (Oooooh.)  Vitriol, by Bluejuice.<br/>   4. And David`s just done a review of Ever the Optimist by Lights Out Dancing so we`ll spin another from there.<br/><br/>Lots more too!  There`s two hours to fill, come join us tomorrow on the Justin Wayne Show website or over at Recharged Radio.com.  See you then.<br/><br/>~JW</span></p><h2><span>Recharged Radio`s Tuesday Mailout of Joy and Fun Things</span></h2><h3><span>27/10/2009 18:29:29</span></h3><p><span>Hey!<br/><br/>Having waved Alex off, as he slowly chugged out of the station back to<br/>the land of playlist duties, I returned to my usual seat on the<br/>mailout writing desk.<br/><br/>Must say though, well done to Alex for his spooky premonition that<br/>Cheryl Cole would be number one this week. Coming up to Halloween I<br/>would expect nothing less than spooky goings on... but speaking of<br/>number ones, well done to The Scratch for getting `Teen Idol` to<br/>number one in the Music Unleashed Top 40 this week. If you haven`t got<br/>yourself a copy yet (for shame!) then you can download it buckshee<br/>over at tourdates.co.uk/the-scratch.<br/><br/>Now for more spooky goings on... The Lovely Eggs will be joining us<br/>this Friday! "Hooray!" I hear you cry, as they wander in through the<br/>door on their Lovely Eggs` legs (reminds me of an eggcup I had when I<br/>was a child). We`ll be doing an end of the month special show this<br/>week, which will be a round up of all the things we think/thought rock<br/>(ed) this month. 7-9pm, rechargedradio.com. Samara Kain is coming<br/>along and the Recharged Team might dress up. I`m not.<br/><br/>So that`s Friday - what`s going on Wednesday on the Justin Wayne show?<br/>Let me check the website... Nope, he hasn`t decided what he`s doing<br/>from 8-10pm this week yet. I can imagine it might feature Field,<br/>Sierra Alpha and some American bands he likes. There may be murder, Go<br/>prove me wrong/right at rechargedradio.com on Wednesday.<br/><br/>And Thursday? Well, Alex is doing a special, never to be repeated* one<br/>hour show showcasing the Far Eastern talent we seem to have stumbled<br/>upon. Come listen from 7-8pm (at reachargedradio.com... yawn) on<br/>Thursday as interesting it will be. Alex has promised. We`re going up<br/>the Wilmington Arms after this, so if anyone fancies coming along too,<br/>you`re more than welcome. Full line up here - feedyourheadmusic.com<br/>(while you`re there, say hi to Chris).<br/><br/>For all updates, full schedule and Dave (who`s just gone to work in<br/>the Apple Store on Regent St, so ask him if you can`t figure out your<br/>mac that you bought just `cos it was shiny) keep an eye on<br/>rechargedradio.com`s news postings.<br/><br/>Finally, I can`t do my witty links descriptions any more `cos that`s<br/>all pre-set by Justin.<br/><br/>Waaaaaayyyynnnneeeee!!!!!!! (Think `Khhaaaaaannnnnnn!!!` - those of<br/>you who are nerdy enough will get that joke).<br/><br/>MN2BDNC<br/><br/>Jord<br/><br/>PS - MUT40 and 20-20 will be discussed on the website later this week!<br/>I`m not being forgetful, just... strategic.<br/><br/>*It`ll be repeated on the listen again player if you do miss it...</span></p><h2><span>Music Monday</span></h2><h3><span>26/10/2009 20:44:32</span></h3><p><span>So I have been scouring myspace for a newbies this week and have stumbled on a lovely piano ballard by Rachel Kenedy which I absolutely love!

(that’s “how’s it going” if you ain’t down with the<br/>cool people, like us). Slight change to this week’s mailout:<br/><br/>a) it’s written by me (Alex) and <br/>b) I’ll try not to complain about the weather, or make it weather related!<br/><br/>So, this week I’ve had thousands upon thousands of emails asking me “Alex, what’s new with Recharged Radio?”, so to answer all your<br/>questions, here’s what’s going on...<br/><br/>Well for a start if you are a fan of 50ft Woman on the old bookface<br/>you will now know that the long awaited EP “Tall Stories” is now<br/>available from itoons and to make your life easier here is a link:<br/><br/>http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=335163286&s=14344450ft<br/><br/>Also a band you may have heard played on the Friday shows many a time<br/>is the Kabeedies. I saw them play on Monday and literally by the<br/>sounds of it their debut album “Rumpus” is also definitely worth<br/>purchasing!<br/><br/>Talking of gigs, if you’re in Landan tonight and fancy going to a gig<br/>then head to The Legion for Lord Auch’s (them off of “Maredo” fame) EP<br/>release gig! Kick off is at 8pm, and it’s free so no excuses!<br/><br/>The Tourdates Sessions is tomorrow night at 8pm! It’s now at The Black<br/>Heart, Camden (previously The Tup).<br/><br/>The night is presented by Turning Worm, and The Tourdates Sessions<br/>give you a chance to check out some of the best bands to be found from<br/>the within the Tourdates community.<br/><br/>This month there is Shiva, with support from Catherine Tran (go to the<br/>RR myspace page to hear a track Catherine performed for us a few weeks<br/>back) and Rosi Croom.<br/><br/>Anyway to keep you clued up with the best in new music, here are this<br/>week’s shows:<br/><br/>Tonight at 8pm – The Justin Wayne Show! In the words of Justin<br/>himself: “It`s packed with great tunes, my Field exclusive which is<br/>still a JW Show exclusive as well as some Sierra Alpha for reasons<br/>you`ll hear on the night, and marking an important revival. The Spot<br/>with Bobby Scotch is back and if you don`t know what that is - just<br/>head to my website and you`ll find it under the "segments" tab. It`s<br/>awesome and I`m very excited to welcome Bobby Scotch back to his<br/>rightful place among the airwaves.”<br/><br/>Moving on to…<br/><br/>Friday at 7pm – The Friday Forum! Special guests will be Karim Fanous<br/>and Lana! There will also be some rad choons and sick beats, plus<br/>polite and informative conversation!<br/><br/>And then…<br/><br/>Sunday at 5pm – Music Unleashed Top 40! We all know Cheryl’s gonna be<br/>this week’s number 1, so check this out instead! Go on, we dare you!<br/><br/>And after…<br/><br/>At 8pm – 20/20 Hip-Hop Show!

"Sandpaper"</span></h2><h3><span>20/10/2009 18:52:20</span></h3><p><span>Yes, I did call this show, episode 65 "Sandpaper" after Jordan`s self-admitted that his face was never clean shaven, but hit 5 o`clock shadow as soon as he sets the razor down.<br/><br/>The show this week?  Oh yeah... right!  It`s packed with great tunes, my Field exclusive which is still a JW Show exclusive as well as some Sierra Alpha for reasons you`ll hear on the night, and marking an important revival.  The Spot with Bobby Scotch is back and if you don`t know what that is - just head to my website and you`ll find it under the "segments" tab.  It`s awesome and I`m very excited to welcome Bobby Scotch back to his rightful place among the airwaves.<br/><br/>Cheers to Projekt for mentioning me on their blog this week.

I would also like it to be known that I haven`t had enough coffee today. One pot is never enough.<br/> <br/>First up, our very own pet 50ft Woman has put her track Glycerine Machine up for download. You can get it over at tourdates.co.uk/50ft-woman. Yes, you too can own a little bit of Recharged Radio and display it on your i-pod for all to see. Download now! There`s also free downloading all week plus a great somethingorother for the kids... etc etc.<br/> <br/>Secondly, 8pm tonight is Justin "Murderer From The Klondike" Wayne time. He`ll be sharing his beard with you, along with a new track (exclusive! Ooh!) from Field (who celebrated his birthday this week) and some band called Lights Out Dancing who I`ve never heard or heard of but he`s cock-a-hoop about them so they must be good (probably). Make your own minds up, tonight at 8, only on Rechargedradio(.com).<br/> <br/>Thirdly, there`s sod all happening tomorrow. Moving on...<br/> <br/>Fourthly, The Friday Forum this week features Projekt North in session, along with the return of Roland Monger, who liked being my studio bitch so much last time, he`s volunteered to do it again. Alex gets another week in his beloved Newcastle and Minki gets her sentences cut short by me, much to her annoyance. All of this takes place this Friday at 7, only on rechargedradio(.com).<br/> <br/>Fifthly - nothing happening Saturday. I might have a lie in though.<br/> <br/>Sixthly - On Sunday at 5pm we have the Murray-less Music Unleashed Top 40 and then after that at 8, we have The Rob One Hip-Hop Hour of Haddock Filleting and Hip-Hop. Oh and Rob can actually rap. We found this out in The Ship last week after the Forum.<br/> <br/>And sevethly, in future news, The Lovely Eggs have released some slightly mad (in a nice way, not a Justin "Murderer From The Klondike" Wayne way) haloween tracks. They`ll be nipping in to visit on the 30th of this month, before they go and play The Buffalo Bar.<br/> <br/>Finally (or probably eighthly), J*e*s*p*a need a mahoosive pat on the back for getting a whole plug for us onto Balcony TV the other week. It`s such a shame that Dan didn`t when he went on there with We The Faceless (and he bloody works for us!!). Nevermind though, he`ll redeem himself with sweets from New York I`m sure... but yes, tourdates.co.uk/jespa for them.<br/> <br/>I`m done.<br/> <br/>Jord<br/> <br/>Polecats!</span></p><h2><span>Midweek Music Picks</span></h2><h3><span>15/10/2009 19:57:18</span></h3><p><span>Soo I`ve only just got around to blogging up my Music Monday picks from twitter, but as promised here a few of my selections for the week!<br/><br/>1.

Fact)<br/>- Rob "One" Boffard (as if there could be another)<br/>and Minki - all 50ft of her<br/><br/>And rock n`roll fun will be had, oh yes it will.<br/><br/>Get involed on the chat room, or by emailing studio@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>MN2BDNC!<br/><br/>J </span></p><h2><span>Recharged Radio`s Stuffed Mushroom Mailout</span></h2><h3><span>07/10/2009 16:34:42</span></h3><p><span>Good Afternoon,<br/> <br/>Settle yourself with a coffee and I shall tell you wondrous things about rock n`roll goings on that are happening within our annals this week.<br/> <br/>But first, I must give praise (or big up, if you`re down with the kids) to our very own Alex Watson for putting together an outstanding new subs show last week. If you missed it, catch it again on Rechargedradio.com. Also, many thanks to Rowland Monger for playing pundit (he will be back again as he knew his stuff) and to The Fancy Toys for doing a very entertaining session!<br/> <br/>Now, to this week... let`s start with...<br/> <br/>Tonight, 8-10pm - It`s The Justin Wayne show! I have no idea what he`s going to be featuring but if it`s anything like his show last week, it`s probably pretty good! I`ve heard rumours of interviews and the like... but I`ve been wrong before (and still frequently am). Check out the main page of rechargedradio.com, as information from the fingers of Jutsin will be popping up there. justinw@rechargedradio.com<br/> <br/>Thursday, 7-9pm - The Isabella Scarlet Session. This is the radio version of two nights before at the Hawley Arms. Isabella will be doing interviews, music, chat plus a live session, so tune in (or click on... whatever) for it! isabella@rechargedradio.com<br/> <br/>Friday, 7-9pm - The Friday Forum. Yup, my lookout here. This week, we have Sam Kain back from the wilderness, Rob "One" Boffard hanging around looking Hip-Hoppy (?!) and Clayton "JR" Hartley (off of The Furbelows), who will be popping in for a cup of tea, a small cucumber sandwich and a chat about his latest musical adventure (which has a link to the Dali Lama...apparently) plus maybe Dave and possibly Minki. studio@rechargedradio.com<br/> <br/>Sunday 5-7pm - The Music Unleashed Top 40 - Tune in. That`s all I`m saying. chartshow@tourdates.co.uk<br/> <br/>7-8pm - 20-20 - With Rob "One" Boffard. Shake yo` booty and get down with tha` phat dirty beatz. And some clean ones too. rob@rechargedradio.com <br/> <br/>Phew! All of that and not an ounce of Keane/Coldplay and Kings of Leon in sight.  <br/> <br/>Now, before I finish and wander off back to what I was doing I must mention the best unknown gig in London (so good, I`ve put it in bold).  On the first Saturday of the month, at The Slaughtered Lamb (theslaughteredlambpub.com) over Clerkenwell direction, Chris Turner (feedyourheadmusic.com) puts on The Basement Tapes. If you`re not in to noisy gigs but are into low lighting, a personal bar, overstuffed sofas with very cool carpet and wallpaper to match, this is the place that will make your life better (no, really, it will). I also know how hard it is to convince you to go to a gig that comes as a recommendation but believe me, if you go to one a month, make sure this is it. There`s a free shot of JD in it for you. Go on. Ah go on. Go on. Go on, go on, go on, go on... find out who`s on next time, over at feedyourheadmusic.com<br/> <br/>Finally, in this week`s Forum, we have some bad and some good news about Andy Quirk`s Hits Of The Near Future nights.

I`ll be putting a link to the live feed on my webpage along with the usual `red button` at http://rechargedradio.com.<br/><br/>Consider this the "soft opening" of Justin Wayne live on RR as I haven`t done a big shout from the mountaintops.  I wanna make sure it goes well tomorrow night.  If you tune in, please send along comments, questions, critiques, and words of encouragement to justin@rechargedradio.com.<br/><br/>A special treat this week as The Justin Wayne Show`s new writer, David Couch posted his first album review this week on The Lonely H`s `Concrete Class` album.  We`ll (obviously) play some tracks from that album.<br/><br/>Along with being live, you`ll also hear some great stuff from the likes of The Little Philistines along with a few other RR Bands in the Basement groups (seemed to be a theme in the playlist this week).  I`ve also got that ominous O Children tune and some new stuff from a band formerly known as Kill Your Ex - now Icarus the Owl.  Debate is open for the better name!<br/><br/>Listen live to chat with me in the chatroom, as I`ll be juggling as many things as I can!  Should be interesting!<br/><br/>See you there (or in the podcast on Thursday afternoon- head to http://thejustinwayneshow.com to subscribe or listen afterward.)<br/><br/>Cheers,<br/><br/>~JW</span></p><h2><span>Music Monday on Tuesday!</span></h2><h3><span>06/10/2009 16:51:12</span></h3><p><span>Posted some of my picks for the week on twitter so thought Id relay them here!<br/><br/>Story I Heard - Blind Pilot : www.myspace.com/goblindpilot<br/>Dead Disco Dancer - O Children : http://www.myspace.com/ochildren<br/>Wired Ok - Paw Paw : http://www.myspace.com/pawpawmusic<br/>I`m The Enforcer - Field : http://www.tourdates.co.uk/field<br/>Were All In This Together - Gabby Young And… : www.myspace.com/gabbyyoung<br/>Young Coconut Water - Serpentfly : http://www.myspace.com/serpentfly<br/>Girl Number One - Tim Ten Yen : http://www.tourdates.co.uk/timtenyen<br/><br/><br/><br/>Dave</span></p><h2><span>Merry monday</span></h2><h3><span>05/10/2009 10:25:15</span></h3><p><span>London is wet, I`m pissed off and need some music and coffee. <br/><br/>In other news, Apocalypstick.co.uk, or just go to The Hawley Arms tonight! Our very own Isabella Scarlet is sticking a night on there and if you`re down with the cool kids then it would be daft not to go. <br/><br/>Starts at 7:30pm, bring a friend (or two, if you`re fat).<br/><br/>In show type news, next up is Justin Wayne at 8pm on Wednesday. I`m sure he`ll be posting up here pretty quickly! <br/><br/>That`s it for now... more later, no doubt!<br/><br/>Jord </span></p><h2><span>Justin Wayne on Recharged with a Surface Unsigned Postmortem</span></h2><h3><span>30/09/2009 09:52:37</span></h3><p><span>Hey y`all,<br/><br/>As you may or may not be aware, (you are now!) tonight is the beginning of a new era of the Justin Wayne Show as we`ll be streaming for our first time up on the illustrious Recharged Radio (http://rechargedradio.com).  Do come over and visit (8pm GMT) as we`ve got more tunes from the Surface Unsigned National Showcase including the announcement of the winner (if you`re not already in the know) as well loads of other great tracks including one of my favs from Sierra Alpha, who were third place in the Surface Unsigned National Showcase last year.<br/><br/>This is to say to the bands that didn`t get through: don`t quit.  These competitions are decided on the day, and your careers will be decided over the span of LOTS longer than that.  Stick with it, make friends, grow your community and you`ll be bigger than the winners of any competition.  <br/><br/>There were bands at this show with better music but less fans which seemed to be the deal breaker.  This is a lesson to be learned - your community is the most important thing to your band.  Even if you have absolutely GREAT songs, it`s not going to mean much if there`s no one turning up at your gigs - especially if you can`t get your core audience out to a National Showcase that you`ve worked so hard to get to.<br/><br/>Ok, down off the soapbox.  I won`t go on like that tonight too much, I promise.<br/><br/>You`ll also see a "Listen Now" button on my website this afternoon so if you click on that during the 8pm - 10pm GMT time you`ll be listening to the stream.  Enjoy!  This is the same button you`ll find on http://rechargedradio.com Comments to the chatroom or email me at justin@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>(Yes, thejustinwayneshow@gmail.com still works, it all goes to the same place.

No `ifs`, or `buts`; no more. <br/><br/>Submissions must be made on MP3s or wavs only and sent to alexw@rechargedradio.com, along with a nice email. He`s from Newcastle, so is liable to take offence at most things. Don`t joke about football either.  <br/><br/>Other reasons for doing this include:<br/><br/>1. Saves postage<br/>2. We now have a small sideline in selling on jiffy bags, that the taxman is playing merry hell with...<br/>3. They`re going to be turned into MP3s anyway<br/>4.

I`m sure we don`t have to many of them left, so down tools for the afternoon and go bugger about in a park or something. Maybe feed some ducks...<br/> <br/>Not an option? Shame...  Ok, down tools for five to seven minutes and read this instead.<br/> <br/>We have a weekend of programming ahead for you. Yes, a whole bloody weekend... well, if you define `weekend` as 7-9pm Friday, 8-10pm Saturday and 5-8pm on Sunday.<br/> <br/>Line up runs like this and is full of music you should be filling your life with...<br/> <br/>7-9pm Friday - The Friday Forum - In this thrilling episode, former Track of the Week holders Black Circles descend into the Basement to be The Band In It. Minki regales us with tales of Monza and Caravans, Dave sits there very quietly working The Interactive, 360 Degree Approach nonsense and I balls up my links. Also, we have a bit of good news about Field, who had something pretty cool happen to him/them this week! And yes, we will play Sunday... studio@rechargedradio.com<br/> <br/>8-10pm Saturday - The Only Lovers Left Alive Mother`s Meeting - This month, in the words of Mr Bully..."We welcome Mitzi Lorenz & Jamie Morgan who are two of the founder members of Buffalo, one of the most influential fashion movements to ever come out of England.

I was considering trying to write this bit in Street but I can`t. Rob will come get me. He`s hard. Anyway, listen to his show. Even if you`re not into Hip-Hop, you`ll enjoy it (I promise you!!) rob@rechargedradio.com<br/> <br/>Other news from the bunker runs in the form of website updates.

Written with Love</span></h2><h3><span>18/09/2009 19:14:16</span></h3><p><span>Morning,<br/> <br/>I love sunrises. They`re really great. I also love lie-ins but they don`t come around too often so I have learnt to love sunrises instead.<br/> <br/>Anyway, the reason for my early start today is because we have such a stuffed show this evening. I kid you not, there is more stuff in it than in an average charity shop`s back room so preparation is needed! So, in point form and hopefully chronological order...<br/> <br/>- The Return of Samara Kain and exclusive first play of her new band Catfight! ("oooh!")<br/>- Interview and session by Catherine Tran (cos I cocked up the diary last week - but listen to this... the session is bloody excellent!!)<br/>- Interview with Don from Brigada Mercy (them of Roto Chico).<br/>- Andy from The Scratch talking about the launch of "Whatever happened to Friday night?"...our paper-thin excuse to play Teen Idol off of it this week...<br/>- And finally... a live session by The (quite frankly excellent) Little Philistines!<br/> <br/>And then when that`s all done, it should be about 9pm. Hell, if you can`t find one reason to listen this evening (or at some point during the week on the listen again player) then... well, I don`t know what you`ll have to do. Drink at an All Bar One probably.<br/> <br/>Don`t forget, on Sunday we have The Music Unleashed Top 40, where we go all commercial radioish on your behinds. If you can catch it from 5-7pm on Sunday, please do as there are some good tracks in there! Curiosity never killed any humans!<br/> <br/>I think that`s about it. Apart from to formally apologise to Dan from Black Circles for not going to see them at The Enterprise last night. Tourdates.co.uk/black-circles - go download a copy of  their track `Little Girl`.<br/> <br/>Speak to ya later...!<br/> <br/>MN2BDNC<br/> <br/>Jord</span></p><h2><span>It`s wet in London</span></h2><h3><span>15/09/2009 15:26:44</span></h3><p><span>It`s turned to autumn today...<br/><br/>But never fear, as RR can cheer you up! Look what it did for this chappy!<br/><br/>"Field and Fake Teak had just become Myspace friends when we were both broadcast on Recharged Radio in adjacent slots.  We congratulated each other, got talking, and in consequence are fast becoming firm friends.  In particular, we`ve exchanged some works in progress and I`m finding Field`s new songs really exciting and inspiring." - Andrew Wyld, Fake Teak (them of The Halting Problem). <br/><br/>So that`s nice.

More information is here - http://www.clubfandango.co.uk/fistful.php.<br/>Herman Dune is/are playing, as are The Chapman Family (no relation to our own Dave "Silent" Chapman) and the whole thing runs until Saturday so go along if you can.

There will be music and chat and chat and music and we hope it will meet your musical tastes. If not, well, come argue at us.

Will HotBeds stay at number one for another week? Tune in to find out... and things like that. There are other songs in there too... so find out if they`re still in the chart...and stuff. Oh, I need someone who works in commercial radio to write that bit... Anyway, onwards!<br/> <br/>Sunday, 7-8pm - Rob Boffard presents `Rob One`, where he plays Hip-Hop. Well, someone had to. This is the first of our new shows, so tune in while your eating your Sunday dinner. Not sure how songs about gun crime and da hood will compliment your meat, roasties and Yorkshire pudding, though. Ah well, call it art.<br/> <br/>I think that`s it, bar telling you that if you want to go and get some interesting video interviews from Jamstand 2009 and The Slaughtered Lamb, go to tourdates.co.uk/rechargedradio/videos.

I think I should leave that there.<br/> <br/>"Anyway"<br/> <br/>I said last week there would be some news for this week. So, true to my word, here is some news. Tesco`s sells duck eggs, That might be news, however, it`s not the news.<br/> <br/>Coming in November, we have a whole raft of extra shows starting.

There`ll be some new faces appearing at rechargedradio.com shortly, including three Yanks in addition to us mixed bag of Brits, plus description of their shows, so there`ll be more content on every night of the week. If you`re sick of hearing me on RR, then this will come as a much needed relief!<br/> <br/>The other piece of news is that we`re currently planning a Recharged Radio awards. Yes, we`re getting ideas above our station again but since the OB we planned the other week fell flat on its arse, we had to do something to take our mind off it. Also, we`re not going in for the whole internet voting nonsense, as some person will only try and rig it. Instead, we`re going to be keeping our ears to the ground and seeing which bands are worthy, outside of a clickrate! Nominations will be accepted from anyone who feels like dropping an email this direction, containing a few lines about why said band should be eligible. Keep an eye on the site for more stuff on this.<br/> <br/>Now, back to the present. This week is The New Subs Show: The Earth, Wind and Fire edition (September - Geddit?! Look Just be thankful I can only make that joke once a year...) and we`re rather stuffed, musically. Also, we have Ameil Morris (formerly of Capitol Records) in the box, along with a live session from Blabbermouth (him of the banjo).<br/> <br/>So that`s tomorrow, at 7pm, over at rechargedradio.com. On Sunday, from 5-7pm, it`s the Music Unleashed Top 40 where Murray returns! Hooray! He can do all the work for it and I`ll just unleash some music (i.e., press play and talk).<br/> <br/>Finally - if you`re following us on Twitter (I mean, really, who wouldn`t...?) you might have noticed me banging on about a song by The Scratch called "Teen Idol". Not one to get overly excited about this sort of thing, it really is heffin` AMAZING and if you don`t go get a copy of their album (when it`s launched later this month) and skip through to track 10, you really will have a piece missing from your life. If, of course, you need this point proving (I mean, don`t take my word for it) then just catch the show this Friday. It`ll be played within the first half an hour. If you miss it, ask us nicely and we might stick it on again. We`re good like that.<br/> <br/>Send your gig listings in to the show (don`t forget!)<br/> <br/>And I`m done<br/> <br/>MN2BDNC!<br/> <br/>Jord</span></p><h2><span>Recharged Radio Late Mailout</span></h2><h3><span>28/08/2009 18:16:25</span></h3><p><span>Ooh my, this is late this week...<br/> <br/>I think I`m going to have to get someone to ghostwrite this for me. I suppose the brief would be `look, just write the first bit of rubbish that comes into your head and continue until you get bored. Sometimes takes all day.` Any takers, out of interest?<br/> <br/>Anyway<br/> <br/>Tonight is The Only Lovers Left Alive Mother`s Meeting, which will see Sam, Marco, et al, playing lots of music which has a theme to it. Sam did tell me but I can`t remember exactly... so rather than get it wrong, prepare to be amazed and bedazzled with what they will play you this evening, starting at 7pm. Also, if you want to keep up with them on facebook, just search for `Only Lovers Left Alive` and you may join and discuss things (and stuff).<br/> <br/>Sunday is The Music Unleashed Top 40 (or, as it has become known in RR shorthand - the MUT40, which sounds like a dog from some low-budget sci-fi), which starts at 5pm. Murray is in Canada this week, so I`m un me urn (as Alex would say). There will therefore be less gay stuff. Not none... just less. So, in a cliched statement... will Hot Beds make it two weeks at the top slot? Tune in to find out! (Oh, bloody hell...)<br/> <br/>Other things that are happening?<br/> <br/>Tell yer next week. In the meantime, go get a copy of Teen Idol by The Scratch. It rocked my socks so far off my feet I failed to come up with anything witty to complete this sentence.<br/> <br/>Jord<br/> <br/>MN2BDNC<br/> </span></p><h2><span>A better way to start a Friday ...</span></h2><h3><span>21/08/2009 11:17:04</span></h3><p><span>Well, better than a kick in the teeth certainly.<br/> <br/>In fact, alot of things are better than a kick in the teeth. Seems like an odd comparison. Ho hum.<br/> <br/>So, Recharged, Recharged... what are we up to currently? I think we should begin by talking about tonight`s Friday Forum.<br/> <br/>Last week, you might remember we did an experiment to see if we could get Electric Contradiction (synths galore, plus vocoders etc., etc.) live in session and a million wires and working out just what plugged into what later, it worked (hooray!).<br/> <br/>This week, we`re attempting (drum roll please!) to do an outside broadcast from the Cirque de Creme Anglaise at Cross Kings in Kings Cross with a seamless handover from the studio! In theory it should work - but don`t hold us to it. Still, don`t know until we try! If it works, we`ll have to try and top it next week... and god knows what we`ll do for that! Ideas?<br/> <br/>In the first hour of the show though, before we start being too clever for our own good, we have Bleech in the studio for a chat as they`ve just released `The Worthing Song` as a single (available from the internet. Go Google it if you want a copy - I have a feeling there`s vinyl too...). In addition to that, we`ve also got an interview plus session from Jespa for you.to have a listen to (and yes, it includes a live version of `Orla`). <br/> <br/>In other news this week, Recharged Radio has been on the pies again and has grown fatter. We`ll be introducing some new presenters to our fold. No formal annoucement just yet but all will be revealed in its true glory in a few weeks (we`ve had to make a team page now - shoe fetishists take note). Also, there will be changes to the schedule and time. Keep an eye out for...er... the changes.<br/> <br/>And lastly (in a change from `finally`), we have exclusive new tracks from The Scratch and The Little Philistines coming in the next few weeks. Rockin`.<br/> <br/>Whoever said we weren`t busy..?<br/> <br/>Anyway, back to the present - 7pm tonight, until probably about 11pm - rechargedradio.com! We`ll also chuck in some live tracks too, if you (we) are lucky!</span></p><h2><span>Podcast Player</span></h2><h3><span>15/08/2009 15:50:29</span></h3><p><span>...Is temporarily not working on the website.

I apologise for spelling errors (there`ll be more of them than usual..)<br/> <br/>So then, Jamstand 09 was last weekend! Minki and I got very suntanned and sunburnt hanging around in Ross-On-Wye interviewing bands and comparing the acts as they went on. The interviews will be up on Tourdates shortly and I have just seen the pics of the weekend (literally, about ten minutes ago). As soon as I weed out the ones where I`m not gurning, they`ll be going into the blog. Bands of note from the weekend were Jive Stick (google them), Zebedyrays (myspace.com/zebedyrays) and, of course, The Dandelion Killers who played an immense set on Friday night to hordes of screaming teenagers. You had to be there. It was something to behold... Expect a full report on the show this week!<br/> <br/>Feed21 took place at The Wilmington Arms last night (all organised by CT - Feed Your Head Promotions.com) and The Little Phillistines played. I can honestly say that I don`t think I have ever seen a band play the most complex songs so well... and still look like they`re having a blast while doing it. If you get the chance, you must go and see them - tourdates.co.uk/the-little-philistines. <br/> <br/>Speaking of bands wot does things good, like - The Scratch will be releasing a new album this autumn (or Fall, for our chums over the pond). We should hopefully (if Andy stays in a good mood) have a few pre-release tracks to play from this so Scratch fans, take note (please! Or else Andy will come round and do bad things... again).<br/> <br/>Other things that are happening in the world of Recharged currently run thus. New shows, new presenters, new parts of the world. I`ll say no more for the time being. Just know that it rocks socks, ok?<br/> <br/>As to the show this week, we have Electric Contradiction down to play in session for us. This stands a very good chance of not working (it`s bloody complex!) so if it all falls flat on its arse, don`t blame me. However, we`re Recharged - we`ll try anything once! Also present in the box will be the aforementioned CT of Feedyourhead and this show will also see the return of Dave to Maple St Studios (now that`s worth tuning in for on its own!). We`ve also got an interview with The Furbelows and a complete round up of last weekend`s Jamstand. Want to get involved? Get into the chatroom or email studio@rechargedradio.com.<br/> <br/>I think that`s everything.<br/> <br/>Ok, you can go back to work now!<br/> <br/>Love ya<br/> <br/>Jord<br/> <br/>Oh look!

Also, less conjunctions, verbs and adjectives.<br/> <br/>You may or may not be aware that tomorrow`s show is already in the can. This is because Minki and I are jetting off down the M42 and then the M5 to Jamstand, in Ross. Rocking will be done and may be found here - tourdates.co.uk/TV. <br/>Anyway<br/> <br/>Tomorrow`s show will be New Subs so it`s all new and fresh and clean and unsullied etc., etc., music - come get involved (at 7pm - rechargedradio.com) and talk in the chat room (amongst yourselves). You may, of course, email to disagree with us - studio@rechargedradio.com and we will read them out next week. There`s also a session and interview with the all new Hotbeds (which, thankfully, are nothing like The New Seekers).<br/> <br/>And...um... I suppose that`s about it.<br/> <br/>Oh, actually, one more thing - The Music Unleashed Top 40 is on Sunday, from 5-7pm.

Now you know why the end doesn`t bear much relation to the beginning... and I don`t have any coffee here on my desk at the moment, so I might have to nip round to Tescos to get some mid email. <br/>  <br/>So, the world of Recharged this week. What has been happening? <br/>  <br/>Aside from weddings in Cornwall (congrats to Mark and Sarah, who you probably won`t know... but congrats anyway!) we`ve been busy small dam building creatures from Canada of late. So, in bullet point form... <br/>  <br/>- We welcome Dan Isaac to the Recharged team. As you might know, Dan used to play geetar for We The Faceless and has contributed to the Recharged debates and programmes on numerous occasions. The fool liked it so much, he decided to join us. The minute he got his @recharged account, we dumped work on him. Now he regrets the decision immensely. Nevermind, he`s here to stay and will be popping up all over the place. <br/>  <br/>- New shows - over the next few weeks, we`ll be having some new shows starting with us! This will lead to other opinions on air, so you can find at least one person to agree with regarding the underground scene in the UK. Then again, you might not agree with anyone at all, in which case, enjoy the arguing. Keep checking rechargedradio.com for updates. <br/>  <br/>- The Music Unleashed Top 40 - Whoo. We have a chart show! This is provided by Tourdates.co.uk and airs on Sundays, from 5-7pm. Want in? Get your profile up on Tourdates, stick your tracks up for download and then tell the world. Murray (of Kamp David fame) will be co-hosting and getting all the information wrong but being rather amusing. <br/>  <br/>- We want contributors! If you think you know of something we should know about, or are actually quite annoyed that you`re not involved (well, you might be...) then just get in touch. If you have a band we should know about, email alexw@rechargedradio.com, or anything else, email me. We like ideas and stuff, we work on the premise that more brains are better than a few (but then again, so do zombies...). <br/>  <br/>And turning now to this week`s Friday show. Yes, it`s The Only Lovers Left Alive Mother`s Meeting. I`ll let Sam take over from this point... <br/>  <br/>"we are going to host an OLLAMM `BNP: you have got to be taking the piss..?` special. Guests will include Dee Murren who works with `Love Music Hate Racism`. We are also going to welcome DJ Femi Fem back to the studios with dj a-side (if we can find him...?) to host an `only lovers left alive mother`s meeting people`s instinctive travels and the paths of rhythm tribe called quest special` because we believe you don`t have to die for everyone to celebrate how brilliant you are! We will all be there, join us..." <br/>  <br/>Well, you heard the man! That`s this Friday from 7-9pm at rechargedradio.com. Also, Sam and Marco are available to contact at onlyloversleftalive@rechargedradio.com and they also have a Facebook group for their show too, so go search for it on the Book o` Face. <br/>  <br/>Finally, list your gigs over at tourdates.co.uk and we`ll read them on the show (unless you want to mail them this way and we can have a chat about stuff when you do). <br/>  <br/>See you Friday <br/>  <br/>Jord <br/>  <br/>MN2BDNC </span></p><h2><span>Damp Tuesday Mailout</span></h2><h3><span>21/07/2009 11:31:21</span></h3><p><span>Morning,<br/> <br/>As I just wrote on the Recharged Radio "Down With The Kids" update thing Twitter, I`m very damp. However, weather conditions aside I must send you off to a few places on t`interweb to increase your procrastination score this morning (yes, I`m giving you an excuse to do this, therefore it`s legitimate).<br/> <br/>So, in no order of preference, here they are:<br/> <br/>1. thescratch.co.uk - Rock n` Roll n` Samba Dancers (Their gig on Friday night was rather good).<br/>2. myspace.com/karlculley - The Fastest Guitar Picker this side of Hull.<br/>3.the1234shoreditch.com/ - The 1234 Shoreditch Music Festival, which Alex (and maybe Dave) is/are going along to shortly.<br/> <br/>So after you`ve looked at all of them, some more information regarding them all in relation to us:<br/> <br/>Breaking - For a sneak peak at the session tracks head over to www.myspace.com/rechargedradio. Karl Culley and the Scratch are available from the myspace player.<br/><br/>1. The Scratch`s session tracks plus interview will be up on the website when Dave gets back from France. <br/>2. Ditto to the above, `cept with Karl Culley instead. His session will also be aired on this Friday`s show, which I shall come to in a second<br/>3. Sean Mclusky, the promoter and organiser of the 1234 fest, will be on the phone for a chat on the show this week about what the hell is going on, way over East.<br/> <br/>Now, to this Friday`s show. I am off down Cornwall way attending a wedding, so unusually for us, this week`s show won`t be live! As we`re doing a pre-record, we`re open to demands for tracks to be played right now so send them in if you have them! Also, Karl Culley`s session will be featured, Spencer Berger from Field will be Interviewed, Karim "The Man From Del Monte" Fanous will be popping along (to be cooler than the rest of us) and see point 3 above.<br/> <br/>Even though we`re not about, the chat room will still be open for business so hop in and talk amongst yourselves (may or may not feature a guest appearance by Dave).<br/> <br/>Of course, if you miss anything, it`s all available from the links at the end of this e-mail. Courtesy of Dave.<br/> <br/>Finally, in forthcoming weeks, we are going to be featuring sessions and interviews with The Furbelows, Electric Contradiction, Bleech and the new line up of Hot Beds. The diary is getting full again!!<br/> <br/>So, Music Needs To Be Driven Not Controlled and all of that - speak to ya later (or from 7-9pm on Friday!)<br/> <br/>Jord<br/> <br/>oh! PS! The Lovely Eggs (Digital Accordion) are playing the Dublin Castle in Camden tonight! Go along and see them if you can!

I put their Myspace address on this email incorrectly so it`s really...<br/> <br/>http://www.myspace.com/thefieldband<br/> <br/>Go browse... and tell them to be on Tourdates. It`ll make my life simpler (cos I`m really lazy...)<br/> <br/>Now then, this week`s show will see The Scratch rocking up to rock (in accoustic fashion, none of this electric shizzle). Get yerself involved in the chat room (and as I keep on banging on about, sign up to Tourdates and get yourself a username. Otherwise, you`ll be Anonymous_Coward for ever and ever and ever) and if you`re really well behaved and eat all your broccoli, I`ll let you ask The Scratch a question.<br/> <br/>Just a note as to last week`s show and its respective podcat (lovingly nurtured and given life by Dave) - it`s half an hour longer than usual. This is because (if you weren`t aware) people demanded more. So we gave them more. A whole half hour more. Then we went to the pub as it was getting perilously close to kicking out time. Anyway, we played some more of the great tunes we`ve been playing recently and much fun it was too. Go search for it on itunes, or it`s available to stream on rechargedradio.com<br/> <br/>And finally, a nod to our new blog (http://rechargedradio.com/text/blog.html). Come argue and debate with us.

Just wanted to get you in a good frame of mind.<br/> <br/>Well, Michael Jackson has been dead for about two weeks now and slowly his songs are going off the radio. I used to really like Billie Jean but after the millionth time of hearing it...<br/> <br/>But I`m not going to winge about it because something far, far more exciting happened this week. The following will be in capitals for emphasis.<br/> <br/>BRIAN BLESSED CAME TO MAPLE STREET STUDIOS.<br/> <br/>Need I say any more? The man is a god and I know just what chair he sat in in the box and which microphone he used. These will now be used only on special occasions, lest they get touched by mere mortal hands.<br/> <br/>Anyway, speaking of the box and stuff, tomorrow`s show will be featuring the dulcet tones of Chris Turner (Feed Your Head Promotions.com) and he`ll be talking about what he`s up to at the moment, who`s cool and what plans he has for his outfit. There will also be new music from The Fancy Toys and by way of an apology, music from Your New Favourite White Trash (who I forgot to play last week..!).<br/> <br/>So, that`s tomorrow, 7-9pm at rechargedradio.com. If you do miss the show, it`s available in podcat (mee-ow) form and listen again form from rechargedradio.com (along with other fun things like our quite ranty blog. Come argue with us).<br/> <br/>Now, after a brief hiatus while we got things sorted (names changed, etc etc), we are now booking in bands and sessions again. If you fancy getting involved (more than happy for you to!) then just hit reply and stick `session: or else` in the subject line.<br/> <br/>Finally, on the subject of sessions - next week we have The Scratch in to play live for us. I`ve told Andy that he has to get the energy of his band`s live set into an acoustic session. The gauntlet went down, so it did.

I never want to see another box/bag/suitcase/hammer/screwdriver/pile o` stuff to sort in the whole of my life... and moving it all about during the heat of the day (not often you can say that in this country!). <br/> <br/>So, now that that`s all done (but needs dusting), back on with the rock n` roll!

We`ve talked it up enough. Also, no animals were harmed in the production of the Podcat... apart from the Podcat. Poor Podcat. He`ll be back in one piece by next week, once he learns to sew. Dave will be sitting down with him, taking him through the proper techniques, I`m sure.<br/> <br/>So tonight, from 7 til 9, it`s the New Subs edition of the Friday Forum with (and I promise you this!) loads of music.

If you missed it, the last ever VS Re:Charged show is slap bang in the middle of the page. The Lovely Eggs are in there, as well as Murray from Kamp David and, of course, Team Recharged hanging it all together. Barely.  <br/> <br/>So that was last week, on now to this week. This week we`ve got the ever cheerful and bright Moonshot in, playing some of their happy and sunny tunes about how really, really great the world is. Joining them will be the best dressed man in Camden, Clayton from The Furbelows. It`s such a shame this is radio... though if Dave gets a picture of him, it`ll be going straight up on Twitpic. Now that I`ve said all that, he`s going to turn up in a tracksuit.<br/> <br/>At some point next week expect another split interview show, this time featuring Mason from A`Tris having a chat about how they do things in Boston, US of A and the boys from The Dash, talking about The Dash, Mick from Babyshambles and vinyl. All very cool indeed.<br/> <br/>Finally (because there always is a finally), you may or may not be wondering what we`re going to be doing with such a big name (radio = lots of time to fill). Well, along with Tourdates, we`re going to fill it. With Rock n` Roll. And coffee. Seriously though, we do have some plans afoot so expect things soon - and they be FUN.<br/> <br/>Ok, I`m done.<br/> <br/>Music continues to be driven, not controlled!<br/> <br/>Jord<br/> <br/>rechargedradio.com - Everything you could ever want. And Dave.<br/> <br/>Disclaimer - Unless your name is Paul Brown, you may leave.  <br/> <br/> <br/> </span></p><h2><span>A New Era Begins</span></h2><h3><span>17/06/2009 19:06:40</span></h3><p><span>Today we launched our portal into the online world.

Feel free to listen again.<br/><br/>Dave</span></p><h2><span>Introducing Recharged Radio</span></h2><h3><span>11/06/2009 19:29:12</span></h3><p><span>Why hello,<br/> <br/>Yes, we`re changing everything here. All the minions are beavering away and swopping addresses, changing URLs, writing code and drinking gallons of tea while buring the midnight oil (currently on offer at Tescos, 2 for 1). <br/> <br/>As of this week, you can forget VS Re:Charged - for it is but a memory. While we had some fun times with the old name, we`ve decided to change it because it was merely show and we now have alot more than we can fit within a few short hours per week. Much love to Tourdates.co.uk for taking us into their fold and allowing us to come play with them.<br/> <br/>(Also, a tenner says that you probably didn`t have a clue what the `VS` part stood for. It actually stood for `Volts Show`, which is where we came from many moons ago and was weirdly featured in a book called `how to get on in music`, or so I`m told. Probably listed under `places to avoid like the plague`).<br/> <br/>So next week (and Minki will hate me for saying this) our brand new website will be launched! Hooray! rechargedradio.com - bookmark it... There`ll be everything that we do on there, including the grimmer details of our little lives, like what Alex does first thing in the morning.<br/> <br/>As for the remaining few days of this week, we`re going to be bizy beez but keep on sending through your gig listings for our gig list for this Friday`s show and speaking of which, The Lovely Eggs (yes, them of Digital Accordian) will be popping in for a quick chat and hopefully Murray from Kamp David will be hanging around provided his flight lands on time (how rock n` roll).<br/> <br/>And where can you listen this week? Yes, tourdates.co.uk/TV.<br/> <br/>Finally, keep an eye on the podcasts. We`ve done a great split one featuring an interview with Maleficent and live session with OK recorded at Maple Street Studios - available from tourdates.co.uk/rechargedradio<br/> <br/>Music needs to be driven, not controlled!<br/> <br/>Jord<br/> </span></p><h2><span>Today Podcasts and Podbytes</span></h2><h3><span>08/06/2009 19:29:38</span></h3><p><span>The new podcast from last fridays Recharged show will be up shortly. This features all of our newest submissions to the show. On top of this producer Paul Tipler is down for a chat about his career and Alex`s friend Ollie is in the studio to help us sift through our new tracks!<br/><br/>Also today will be a brand new podbyte! Two even that from Kamp David and Potraits! These are not up anywhere else yet and have not been aired anywhere! <br/><br/>Jordans mailout will be arrive shortly this week with all the latest news on how our show is evolving and what it all means to you guys!<br/><br/>Enjoy your evening<br/><br/>Dave</span></p><h2><span>The Other Mailout</span></h2><h3><span>07/06/2009 16:21:13</span></h3><p><span>Ok, as promised this is the `other mailout`. <br/><br/>As you might have guessed by the title of this mailout, we`re morphing<br/>into Recharged Radio. We`ve got a few weeks yet before everything `vs`<br/>disappears from what we do but while we deal with the removal men, this is<br/>what you need to know. So pay attention at the back. <br/><br/>- For the next few weeks, we will only be doing Friday Forums (in all<br/>their various guises!). Bands who have sessions booked, check with me that<br/>everything is still on for your dates. Most are fine but there may be one<br/>or two cancellations. <br/><br/>- You will be able to listen to the show ONLY on tourdates.co.uk/TV until<br/>we tell you otherwise (very important point, that..). If you can`t listen<br/>live, get yourself signed up to the podcast over at<br/>myspace.com/vsrecharged or stream it at tourdates.co.uk/vsrecharged <br/><br/>- A new website will be launched - rechargedradio.com. <br/><br/>- There will also be a new show. ooh. <br/><br/>We`ve also divvyed up the jobs between us all. Goes like this... <br/><br/>Alex - The Music Picking (alex@vsrecharged.com and will soon be<br/>alexw@rechargedradio.com)<br/>Dave - The Tech stuff (dave@vsrecharged.com and will soon be<br/>davec@rechargedradio.com)<br/>Minki - The Website Designing (minki@50ftwoman.com and... lala...<br/>minki@rechargedradio.com)<br/>Jarrod - Mr Tourdates (jarrod@tourdates.co.uk and will probably stay<br/>the same)<br/>Samara - The person what gets people saying stuff about us<br/>(samarakain@gmail.com and, yup.. samarak@rechargedradio.com) <br/><br/>and of course, if you just can`t decide where to direct your<br/>questions/abuse... <br/><br/>jordan@vsrecharged.com becoming (!!) jordant@rechargedradio.com<br/><br/>As this is an ongoing thing, we`ll be keeping you up to date with our<br/>movements (apart from the really boring ones, like reading on the train on<br/>the way home). Keep an eye on our twitter feed too -<br/>twitter.com/rechargedradio <br/><br/>Finally, Kamp David came into our basement here at Maple St Studios this<br/>week and did us a lively live session and interview. This will be sent out<br/>as a podcast next week, so be prepared for amusement. <br/><br/>Thanking you <br/><br/>Jord <br/><br/>Music needs to be driven, not controlled. <br/><br/>Tourdates.co.uk/TV - Listen here!<br/>tourdates.co.uk/vsrechcharged - Old stuff here<br/>myspace.com/vsrecharged - the hub. <br/><br/>Disclaimer - we love you.

Yes,<br/>I am whingeing but what would you rather? Being surrounded by buildings or<br/>beaches? The Thames really doesn`t cut it. <br/><br/>But on the good side (and there always is one), I can walk out of the<br/>studio after the shows into some form of daylight. Therefore.... yey. <br/><br/>So what`s going on in the VS:RE world? Well, this week we`re sitting down<br/>and having our playlist meeting for this Friday`s show. This is where we<br/>meet and discuss what goes in and what goes out. If you are one of the<br/>chosen ones, you`ll be on the show this Friday. If not, well, we`re not<br/>utter bastards so don`t be discouraged. Keep throwing music at us. <br/><br/>For those of you that caught the Only Lovers Left Alive Mother`s Meeting<br/>version of The Friday Forum, the podcast of this is on the Myspace and<br/>will be on our Tourdates profile very shortly. Thank you to Marco, Sam,<br/>Shaun and Barnsley for coming along and also a big thank you to Shaun on<br/>his own for bringing along the excellent `I Shot You Babe` by DJ<br/>Foundation. If you missed the track, you can get it here...<br/>myspace.com/ishotyoubabe.

I have to admit, I was a<br/>tad nervous about having someone of Joe Corré`s caliber on the show but I<br/>was quite happily proved wrong as Mr. Corré proved a rather fantastic<br/>guest.<br/>A big thank you to Sam who did most of the talking, as my voice gave up the<br/>ghost about halfway through the show. If you missed the show, the podcast<br/>version will be up on the myspace later on today. Please give it a listen,<br/>there are some great moments in it! myspace.com/vsrecharged. <br/><br/>Now how on earth do we follow that?!

We interviewed Nell last week (when<br/>she was somewhere on the M6 around Brum. We, of course, we`re tucked up<br/>warm in our London studio) and all is going rather well for her. Keep an<br/>eye on TOURDATES.CO.UK/VS-RECHARGED for this interview and others from us.<br/>Dai is uploading them as we speak.  <br/><br/>Also, before we get to this week`s shows, VS Re:Charged is changing (not<br/>by much but we thought we`d let you know anyway). Due to being inundated<br/>on a weekly basis with submissions to the playlist, as from next month<br/>we`re only going to be doing one new submissions show per month, where the<br/>whole two hours are devoted to submissions we have received. This should<br/>hopefully give hard-working bands and artists already on the playlist the<br/>airtime they deserve! Don`t worry though, we`re not closing our doors<br/>completely. Knock hard enough and we`ll come and see what the hell you<br/>want (even if it is with a baseball bat in hand..). <br/><br/>Schedule-wise, this will then leave us with one free Friday show per month<br/>and yes, we will be doing something interesting with it. Watch this space. <br/><br/>And finally, in addition to broadcasting with Reach On Air, as of last<br/>Friday we are also now officially broadcasting from Tourdates.co.uk too.<br/>Look out for Tourdates special programmes in the near future. <br/><br/>Now, back to the present and this week looks like this... <br/><br/>Tomorrow - Clockwatch Tuesday - This week, featuring Reiser who are<br/>dropping by for a chat and to eat the biscuits. <br/><br/>Wednesday - Clockwatch Wednesday - This week, Featuring Karim Fanous who<br/>will be dropping by for a chat, a jam and to eat the biscuits. <br/><br/>Friday - The Friday Forum - The Gig Edition, which I`m hosting since Alex<br/>has buggered off somewhere (a gig, no less) and Robert Batley will be<br/>dropping by too, to have a chat, a jam and eat the biscuits. <br/><br/>Don`t forget the usual info drop - just email it over to<br/>jordan@vsrecharged.com and I`ll slip it into one show, somewhere. <br/><br/>And to finish - if you want to help us out down here at VS Re:C, scroll<br/>down to the bit after the credits on this email. <br/><br/>Music Needs To Be Driven, Not Controlled! <br/><br/>Jord </span></p><h2><span>Vs Re:Horrible Self Congratulation - The Scratch	 </span></h2><h3><span>15/02/2009 13:50:41</span></h3><p><span>See, you know what I said about flattery will get you everywhere..? <br/><br/><br/>"VS Re:Charged ... the interview ..<br/><br/><br/>Dear Scratchers,<br/><br/>As you know, the secret of our ‘success’ is never giving up and taking our chances when they come up… so there was no way, a few flakes of the wrong type of snow were going to keep The Scratch from their appointment with VS Recharged radio !<br/><br/>A mildly surprised Jordan the shows producer/compare and ‘guru’ greeted John, Andy and Sam (Scratch fashionista and PR Tzar) Vince... “Grim is already here, I was only expecting one of you… but the record label* who you were sharing the show with haven’t turned up, so we’ll get you all in around the table if that’s cool” “Yeah cool”… lucky eh… (*I wonder when their bound and gagged bodies will be found in that Wheely Bin behind Radio 1?!?)<br/><br/>The first thing that hits you is what a really modern and clean studio Jordan and co-host Alex are broadcasting from… it knocked the squash and squeeze of XFM Manchester’s broom or should I say ‘Boon’ cupboard into a cocked hat! Although we did get alcohol there my dear Scratchery readers!!!… VS Recharged has only been going for a couple of years now but is already building a dedicated fan base which is no surprise when they can list the likes of Marco Pirroni, Andy Weatherall (Primal Screams producer) and Steve Jones and Paul Cook of the Sex Pistols among it’s superstar music heroes and legends wo have already (dis)graced the show!?… Tonight it was The Scratch’s turn!<br/><br/>Sat in the airtight studio were Jordan’s co-host Alex, John, Andy, Grim and looking on Sam who declined the offer of a microphone (this time)… while Jordan played ‘puppet master’ from the control room. <br/><br/>What followed for the duration of the two show was a VS Recharged version of Jukebox Jury as the ‘panel’ listened and then discussed the latest submissions by this weeks batch of unsigned hopefuls, interspersed with general and more importantly for the assemblage all things The Scratch. The show also included a play of Against the grain, which was greeted by a rather charming email from listener Jackie… who reckoned ATG was the best song of the night and that the band had come across as very interesting… (the tricks of radio huh!)… but you were right of course about the music!… Having written this up the day after the night before, without any notes and in possession of an extremely fuzzy head… the only other band name I can remember is that of Foxtrot Bravo a band Jordan had praised, plugged and played who are due to be produced by Oasis’s producer… (Check out Salad’s two albums from the mid/early 90’s and you won’t be very far away at all from FB’s sound).<br/><br/>A few further plugs for the Horn gig, the Dublin Castle, the Tour dates single giveaway, Grim struggling to remember ANY band names and a message from Manilla PR’s Tony later and Team Scratch and Jordan’s crew were soon supping assorted beverages in the Tavern around the corner, while reflecting on a thoroughly enjoyable and worthwhile evenings entertainment!<br/><br/>Conversations veered this way and that on many subjects, but try as he might Jordan was unable to crack the ‘Age Question!’… (he’ll never believe the reason we took Sam along was to make our collective age just 2 years under 200!!)…eh Sam… lightening reactions… lightening… (xx)….<br/><br/>Thanks a lot to the guys for a great evening, hope to catch you on 17th at the Dublin Castle." <br/><br/>We do like The Scratch. We will be attending their gig.  Proper blog to follow later... <br/><br/>Jord</span></p><h2><span>VS Weekly blog thing from the desk of Jord</span></h2><h3><span>17/11/2008 18:21:55</span></h3><p><span><br/>Hello, <br/><br/>This week I`d like to start by chatting about our new myspace (/vsrecharged) - and not being vaguely irreverent as I would be usually. Alex dragged VS Re:Charged kicking and screaming over to the Spaces o` My and has started to add things there. I will be doing the same. I`d also like to point out that we also have a similar thing on tourdates.co.uk (just search `vs recharged`). Content will no doubt get duplicated over the two BUT I would like to say that Tourdates is the only place where we get our gigs from for our list so go check<br/><br/>there if you want up to date gig listings! <br/><br/>Now for a brief round up of this week`s show activities... <br/><br/>Clockwatch Tuesday 4-5pm:<br/><br/>Music, music and a chat with Suzy Wheeler from The Dorset Music Forum (dorsetmusic.com). <br/><br/><br/>Clockwatch Wednesday, 4-5pm:<br/><br/>Music, music and the extended gig list, from Tourdates.co.uk <br/><br/>The Friday Forum, er... Fridays! 7-9pm!<br/><br/>The monthly Gig Show: A round up of the best gigs of the month.<br/><br/>Mainly hosted by myself but I`ve heard Alex J Watson wants a piece of the action too.. seeing as he actually went to most of the gigs in question. Also, this time round we`ve got a co-host! Nell Bryden (/nellbryden for a full bio), who`s been making waves over on Radio 2 and 6Music, will be joining us and adding a female element to balance us blokes out! <br/><br/>Don`t forget, next week sees the monthly return of The Only Lover`s Left Alive Mother`s Meeting with Marco and Sam, plus guests Andrew Weatherall and Paul Cook. They`ll be doing the usual - reviewing new music, playing undergound music of their choice and other stuff.<br/><br/>Listen to find out what. <br/><br/>And I`m done. <br/><br/>Speak to ya tomorrow from the warm Maple Street Studios <br/><br/>Jord <br/><br/>Music Needs To Be Driven Not Controlled! <br/><br/>STOP PRESS - Well, stop e-mail... shall we try again? <br/><br/>STOP BLOG - Nephu Huzzaband (them of the 1:35 single, Nurse!<br/><br/>Nurse!) have had a documentary made about them. You can catch it on<br/><br/>Channel 195 next Sunday (23rd) at 9:30pm. <br/><br/>Can I press send submit, sir? <br/></span></p><h2><span>VS RE:Charged New Shows</span></h2><h3><span>04/11/2008 16:31:26</span></h3><p><span>Well, it`s the start of November and we`ve just launched our midweek clockwatching shows. Now I`m going to blatantly plug them.<br/>4-5pm, on Tuesdays and Wednesday over at vsrecharged.com<br/><br/>Now that bit of unpleasantness is out of the way, some news. <br/><br/>The person that will be updating the blogs on this site will be Alex Watson, or resident gig-person. He`ll be writing about all the gigs he`s been to, the bands he`s seen and what he`s discovered out there in the world of the underground. Hopefully it won`t be Hobbits (can you get sued for saying Hobbits? Don`t know. Is it a trademark?)<br/><br/>So over to you Alex... I`ll be popping by from time to time and ranting though.<br/><br/>Speak soon<br/><br/>Jord<br/><br/>Music Needs To Be Driven Not Controlled!</span></p><h2><span>VS RE:Charged Blog No.1</span></h2><h3><span>20/10/2008 11:55:37</span></h3><p><span>Hello. We`ve been requested by them wot does control Tourdates to stick our mailouts up here. So here is the latest one. <br/><br/>However, we`ll be a bit more creative with these so watch this space. <br/><br/>Thanking you :)<br/><br/>Jord<br/><br/>"Wotcha,<br/><br/>Midweek at VS HQ, deep in the heart of London`s West End, something<br/>was stirring...<br/><br/>If you know what it is, can you come catch it. We don`t like the<br/>look of it. It`s all slimy and none of us are brave.<br/><br/> Anyway, randomness aside, it`s time for the weekly round up of<br/>events. Nothing much to report back on though we do have details of<br/>last week`s competition that the charming Stephen Dale Petit came in<br/>to chat about. Trot off here and have a look<br/>http://www.guitararama.co.uk/comp. All the information about<br/>what to do is there and the closing date is the 1st of December.<br/>Of course we`re not responsible for external sites (or their content)<br/>because...well, we don`t edit them. Hence why we`re nor responsible.<br/><br/><br/> Over to this week now - the FIRST EVER VS RE:Charged gig show with<br/>his grace, AJ Watson. He`ll be bringing along a selection of gigs<br/>he`s been to and discussing them at length on the show. Having spoken<br/>to him on the phone not 24 hours ago, he was (and I quote) "very<br/>excited."  Also, we`ll be having a chat with Ryan from Cutaways (who<br/>are from Northern Ireland) who gives a small insight in what I feel<br/>might actually be one of the most neglected music scenes within the<br/>UK!<br/><br/> And to the future - we now have a definate date for the two midweek<br/>shows. We`re starting them on the 4th and 5th of November from 4-5pm<br/>in the afternoon. If you`re bored at that point of the afternoon and<br/>can think of nothing better to do than wait to go home, why not<br/>listen to some good music instead? Also, we`ll be throwing in a gig<br/>list too so you can do something with your evening (just in case you<br/>had `going home and watching tv` in the diary).<br/><br/> But back to the present... and the final words...<br/><br/> - This Friday. 7-9pm<br/> - Over at vsrecharged.com and reachonair.com<br/> - with Maple Street Studios (maplestreetstudios.co.uk)<br/> and<br/> - Tourdates.co.uk<br/> Speak friday,<br/><br/> Jord"<br/><br/> Music Needs To Be Driven Not Controlled<br/><br/></span></p>';    Widget.innerHTML = s;}
