It's spring again, I'll bring again, tunage from London town.

Here in London, the city has gone Bill & Kate crazy. I wish them all the best as I would any other young couple setting out on a life together. If I was their wedding DJ, they wouldn't be getting too many genre classics like "The Birdie Song", "Come On Eileen" or the ubiquitous "Stars on 45" medleys. Instead, they'd probably get a set something like this month's podcast, music that's been filling my ears for the last couple of months.

After a quite barren - as is usual - January and February, March and April have kicked up a whole load of good stuff as well as some that have less than impressed me.I was rather disappointed; after the return to form that was "In Rainbows"; with the new Radiohead album, but have been extremely impressed with albums by Erland & The Carnival, Shilpa Ray & Her Happy Hookers, The Kills and Younger Brother. I've just got hold of an album by Colourmusic which will no doubt feature in the next episode. It's brilliantly bonkers and puts a big old smile on my face. Really looking forward to the new Pete & The Pirates album coming out next month. Could be a contender for album of the year? The first couple of singles off it have shown promise, see what you think. And there's a new Fleet Foxes record out soon, and what I've heard of that sees a continuation of the brilliance of the first one.

So, I'm off to find some more. I like long bank holiday weekends, me.

Happy wedding day Bill & Kate. I hope you're as happy in the future as you seem to be at the moment.

Finally, I'd like to dedicated this one to Anna and LP, my better half and our baby due at the end of September. Anna makes me the happiest man in the universe on a regular basis, but having the guts to love me and all the baggage I come with and now to be carrying our child takes my love to the power of infinity. Thank you sweet thing, I love you dearly. I just hope LP likes music, really :)

Until the next time....

Thanks for listening.
It's good to listen.
