So today was my day at XFM
It started bad, because i was soooo cold and they were sooooo late.
But when Paul (producer) arrived it started to get a lot better, we went upstairs and i started to research for the Idlewild interview (thats right i got to meet Idlewild, well just Roddy, but hes the only important one).
Lauren soon appeared, she was soo nice and we spent most of the time talking about Falkirk (her ex-lives here), Darius, Zane and music of course.
After she pre-recorded the Idlewild interview and it was soon time to do her show, the faded all the music carts from London, so she only had to do the links between them. We chatted more about Zane and she told me about him recording some new music(about time too) but hes to scared to release it in the UK. We chatted more about the Libertines and how we both feel really sorry for Carl and she knows the queens of noize, but it was really good.
So that was the day really, she did guestlist me for Dogs Die in Hot Cars and Eastern Lane on Monday night at the Garage, so if anyone wants to join me i have a free guestlist place.
On our way out i finally met Stuart (guy who works for Beat and produces the rock shows) so it was good to chat to him, the Lauren came and said goodbye and told me to keep in contact and whenever im in London to give her a buzz and i can go help her out. 2 mins later and her producer comes in to say goodbye and tells me to give him a phone whenever im in London.
This impressed Stuart cos apparently this doesnt happen often, so he wants me to sit in on the rock show on Beat too, so things are looking pretty good.
And to top of that, i bought the nme on the way home and the free cd had music from get this, The Futureheads, Babyshambles, THE OTHERS, Kasier Chefs, Selfish Cunt, Nine Black Alps then i get to the concert page of the NME to find out that Nine Black Alps are touring next year and so are The Others and Willy Mason is coming to Glasgow. So im pretty excited right now.
Off to finish my uk case study xxx
