Ok, this is a bit scary - I've just been told I have a radio show on Pure:FM, starting tomorrow evening.

So that gives me a mere 24 hours to prepare a house and chillout show. Should be interesting then... Eep!

You can listen online at purefm.com/interact - I'll be on from 7pm to 9pm, assuming nothing goes horribly wrong. I'll probably cheat for the first show by playing a mix I recorded last year for most of it as I have a ridiculously busy day tomorrow.

I'll set up a web page for the show shortly with track listings and other gumph shortly :o) 

So, who wants to place a bet on how badly I break the studio/radio station rules/law in the first ten minutes? ;o)

Peace out /al

I've been trying to track down a chillout tune that I managed to lose a couple of years ago. All I knew about it was the vocal "It ain't always umbrellas in the rain" and that it was a chillout tune.

Having given up searching for it, I still decided to drop "umbrellas" into the iTunes store's search toy today - result: up popped Helicopter Girl's "Umbrellas in the rain"! It's not the mix I remember but it's damned close, so in the basket it went. Result - one very happy greyhead.

The tune's in the iTunes store, and you might also want to check out Helicopter Girl's album - here on Amazon.co.uk - if you're into your chillout. You can read more about Helicopter Girl - aka Jackie Joyce - on Discogs dot com, or read Stylus Magazine's review of her from a couple of years ago.

If you're not into chillout, then what are you doing reading this post?

Much luv /munki

'Ello! I'm Alex, and I'm one of the mysterious and slightly-shady figures know as "Sabbatical Officers" - my job title is something like Media Whore, and I divide my time equally between upsetting students, annoying staff members, tweaking the UP ... (read more).
