Who Killed Rob?
July 2nd, 2009

Regular listeners to my radio show on WXYC are aware that in the not too distant past I regularly played songs (in fact, I still do) from the EP “46a Appleside Drive” from the band Foxes – for those of you who haven’t encountered them, they’re a band from Brighton (UK) featuring Adam and Kayla Bell and they peddle infectious melodies, irony and much more.

I first encountered Adam in my old studio in Brighton, with his then band, “Melvyn Bragg’s Stratocaster”. Having ignored all of the advice I gave him, he (and Foxes) are doing remarkably well for themselves.

Here’s the video to their latest single (out on Cat Cutter Records) “Who Killed Rob?” Watch it and then go along and buy their music from HERE

Onward and upward…
June 25th, 2009

So after months and months of procrastination, I once more have a portal on the World Wide Web. There’s a long story behind the demise of my last website, but, I’ve either already told you about it, or you’re not remotely interested in the minutiae of my HTML woes, so I’ll move on.

I’m presently doing a weekly 3 hour radio show on WXYC on 89.3FM between 12pm – 3pm EST every Friday, if you’re outside of Chapel Hil/Durham, you can stream it from here. Tomorrow [Friday 26th June 2009] I’ll be joined (at around 1pm) by Chris Stamey & Peter Holsapple for a chat about their new wares.
