Hello!

Just a quick note to say that our guest DJ at the Phoenix this month is David Feck of Comet Gain. David was one of the first people I met when I moved to London in the late Eighties and started going to indie pop gigs - I remember very clearly him telling me about the TVPs at a party one time. We were even in a band together. For ten minutes or so. I was the singer. He was a go-go dancer. So it'll be great to have him as a guest at long last. I'm looking forward to it!

Indie song of the week: "Taste Of Cindy" by the Jesus And Mary Chain
Sixties song of the week: "Promised Land" by Johnnie Allan.

Edwyn Collins, April 2008: "I was doing a radio interview and I didn't feel well. I woke up in hospital and I was overwhelmed when I realised what had happened. It was eight weeks before I could bear to listen to music. [My wife] Grace brought me a CD compilation I'd made for the car. I listened to Johnnie Allan's 'Promised Land' and I broke down. I was relieved... I could remember it."

Hope to see you there!
