Over the summer I covered the late show on @absoluteradio, on my first show some guy got abusive requesting Milli Vanilli. So for the entirety of my summer run I made the same joke every night....because I’m petty and think humour is best when it’s passive aggressive.

And he wrote Murder On The Dancefloor and Life Is A Rollercoaster. Decent publishing cash on those
Ladytron Fan Account@Lady_FanAccount

"You Get What You Give" is basically a solo project disguised as a band. Gregg Alexander (vocalist, songwriter and producer) recorded almost the entire album Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too (1998) alone, playing most of the instruments and doing all the lead vocals. The track became the band's only major hit. The famous ending of the track ("Beck, Hanson, Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson / You're all fakes...") It caused controversy at the time, because several artists mentioned were pissed off, but Gregg said it was only to criticize the fame industry and materialism. After the success, he dissolved the New Radicals and disappeared from the stage forever, becoming a backstage composer (he wrote tracks for Ronan Keating, Danielle Brisebois...).

@absoluteradio @RealDysonator @benburrell Are you going to attempt a ‘No repeat week’ rather than just a day? So much music in each decade and I bet the deeper dive would go down well with the listeners. Just a thought?

@BeckyOnTheRadio Haha! Yes, I was there too, I think the host even joked ‘I wonder what they’ll play’… then they didn’t play it. Incredible.

@benburrell hilariously my worst “gig” was also The Fratellies! I attended the ARIAS at uni and they teased Chelsea Dagger in the intro video and then never played it. Half the room was very gutted uni students chanting the riff! Can’t believe they never played it!

Thrilled that my audio drama Shorts has been nominated for best drama at the ARIAS. We're up against some proper ALPHAS, so taking the time to celebrate while we can!

@DadGamingworld Hey! Cheers for listening! I find myself with Modern Times A LOT - not that it’s an underrated album, but I listen to it as much as the classics, it just has a nice bit of cohesion to it, especially the ballads. What’s the album for you?

@benburrell Ben, longtime no pester. Just watched your fantastic interview with Bob on YouTube. IMPORTANT Q though, - Did your daughter make the bracelet your wearing? Because my niece made one for me almost identical, and if so, they should go into business together.

Ooooh @absoluteradio and @benburrell I don't think Whamming people with no warning is going to go down well. Absolutely savage behaviour on a Friday afternoon!
