As for today's show, it will feature new music from the band from Liverpool I am madly in love with at the moment called The Wombats (their album, Girls, Boys, And Marsupials is available in Japan right now, but you can also buy it through Rough Trade in the UK), We All Have Hooks For Hands, Bikeride, White Hills (thanks Erika!), The Show Is The Rainbow, Aim Low Kid, Thee More Shallows, Music For Animals, The Winter Sounds, Panda Band, The Henry Clay People, The Shaky Hands, plus new Art Brut!

As for today's show, it will feature new music from Rose Kemp, Jarvis Cocker, Mando Diao (no longer sounding exactly like The Libertines -- who'd a thunk?), Magic Bullets, Other Men (yet another Rob Crow side project), Secretary Bird, & Grinderman (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds with a new name and updated sound including a couple of Morphine-like songs with added raucus psych-rock guitar squalls -- it's crazy good). I will also play a couple of songs off an album from last year that I totally missed, The Kooks' Inside In/Inside Out, plus lots of the bands I saw at SXSW.

Today's show will feature new music from Gruff Rhys (of Super Furry Animals), Wilco, Target Market, Foxtail Somersault, Sister Vanilla (Jesus & Mary Chain), Joakim, Cyann & Ben, Foreign Islands, Bright Eyes, and Son Volt, along with Arcade Fire, Dinosaur Jr., Blonde Redhead, Lemurs, !!!, The Wombats, Modest Mouse, Ted Leo and The Pharmacists, Minipop, Minmae, The Fall, and Wolf & Cub, to name but a dozen.
