Andy's Recommendation of the week :

24 Hour Party People

We talk this week about the sad and early passing of one of the country's (if not the world's) top musical trailblazers. Tony Wilson invented the Madchester music scene, discovering bands like Joy Division, New Order and The Happy Mondays.

In this movie Steve Coogan plays Wilson, the film also starring Ralf Little and John Simm (Life on Mars) as New Order's Bernard Sumner, shows the early life of Wilson and demonstrates his less than orthodox business practices.

This film is a must for all British music fans, plus its got Alan Partridge!

Len's Recommendation of the week :

THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM

This is the latest in the series of films based on the classic Robert Ludlum series.
"The Bourne Ultimatum" is the sequel to "The Bourne Supremacy ". Matt Damon reprises his role as amnesic former CIA assassin Jason Bourne. This kinetic action-thriller follows Bourne as he jets across the globe battling through Paris, London and New York in a struggle to find out who he really is and avoid being killed by the CIA in the process.

Directed by Paul Greengrass
Opens in UK and ROI cinemas Thursday 16th August 2007

Music Played on tonight's show

All the artists played on tonights show can be found on music.podshow.com, full terms and conditions are available at http://music.podshow.com:80/music/producerTerms.htm.

100 Year Picnic - Hot Balloon

We make fun and eclectic pop music--a swirly concoction of midwestern power pop, brit-pop, americana, alternative country, and experimental folk. Basically, we do whatever cracks us up, and we tend to like nice, big melodies with smart words, fun orchestration, and lotsa vocals.

Geoff Smith - If this geek ruled the world

Geoff's catchy piano driven pop is quite contagious these days. Geoff is also the madman behind such DSC jingles as Roger Smalls, Metrosexual Moment, and Trinity. Buy Geoff's CD at cdbaby.com/cd/geoffsmith and NOW ON ITUNES!!!!

Lockdown - Cry Baby

LOCKDOWN hail from North West England and are made up of members Rob, Jo, Estelle, Chris and Nicola. Most of the group met at Preston College of Dance where they were studying professional dance.

In 2002 Chris and Rob were invited to join a new boyband which toured with the likes of Westlife, Liberty X

Adama - Take Me Home

Describing Adama's style creates interesting thoughts within those who try to do so. Adama's rich, velvet voice brings to mind visions of Sade, Seal and Dido. The music, electronica by nature, is strong with pop-appeal, inviting the word-of-mouth genre/term, electro-pop, for company.
