The Full English

Hello lovely FleetFm listeners. I was a tad preoccupied on this week’s show, as my dog has been a bit ill. I love that hound, so I’ve been a bit distressed. Listen to the show to find out more.

As an update, he’s been to the vets and he’s ok. Probably just a sprain. He’s still crying a bit now and then though. A crying dog is not a happy sound.

Anywah, on today’s show, we have a great new favourite band - Young Rival. Check them right out.

Also, I played some tracks from the past, to discover whether they stood the test of time. Seeing those three song titles together in the playlist below, it really hit home how important each song was to me in my college years. I must have listened to each one countless times - they are part of my musical fibre. Thankfully, The Doughboys still sound exciting and cool. The other two tunes aren’t half bad either.

There’s also an Auction based tune to advertise The FleetFM Art Auction - happening this Saturday at Kevin Shield’s Arcade on K Road in Auckland. Come on down and bag yourself an arty treat.

Finally - I’m working on launching a new music website. It’s going to be pant shittingly amazing, even though I say so myself. The brains behind it - Django Beatty - is some pretty big brains let me tell you. We’re after quality bloggers and writers - head over to noiseloop.com and register your interest if you want to get involved.

And finally finally - I want to plug the speed dating night at the DOC. It’s on Thursday this week - and apparently, it’s a complete babe fest at the moment. Single guys who want to push up their dating average and meet some hot ladies should head down there for 7pm.

Cheers ears!
