Who can be bothered waiting until the traditional time of year when bloggers go gaga for lists? Not I, I tell you, not I! That's why I've used this week's show as an opportunity to run down the best albums of 2013 so far. Included are tracks from Adam Stafford, Rick Redbeard, Frightened Rabbit, Algernon Doll and more!
Before you even contemplate those delights though, there's the small matter of live session guests Fake Major. Joining me in the studio were Richard and Jarv, the self proclaimed four armed singer-songwriter, who embarked (unwittingly) on their first date live on air. There's a ton of great music too, plus three live session tracks, including two new songs. How's that for a treat?
