Monday 10th March

Chris Bathgate of Edinburgh band Sans Trauma came into the studio to choose some tracks * and chatted about his time touring the US playing bass with Arab Strap. Our resident expert in obscure gems, Digital Plamf, chose a little known Fife band as his Unsung Heroes of the week, and on top of that we had Jonathan Richman trying to steal a girl from her stoner boyfriend and a terrifying stalker song from UK antifolk nutter Paul Hawkins. And perhaps pushing the boundaries of radio too far our comedy song of the week was a controversial but celebratory ode to gay sex from The Frogs!
