10) No more George Lamb on 6Music! Fuck yes.
Not much more to say, really. I still don't find time to listen to it much, but the other afternoon I tuned in and heard Steve Lamacq playing Hefner. Hefner. On the radio. It was brilliant. Though I'll not manage to be a regular again until they put Phil Jupitus back on the breakfast slot, followed by Gideon Coe.

9) Finding that Patrick Wolf's still got it, live.
See my review of him at the Junction on 10th March 2009. The album was a bit pants, and I only listen to it selectively, but I stand by the Kate Bush comparison, and my longing to see him in a venue for the 18+ only... (not so he'll take his pants off, you see, so that I don't have to punch drunken 14-year-olds in the kidneys to get them off my feet). A great live performer, even if the corpus of his material is getting unwiedly and hard to combine into a single set.

8) A live Talking Heads album that blew my mind.
It's amazing what having your hard-drive wiped makes you do. …

With the Festive 50 now over, we get back to regular shows - plus a new DJ, Katherine Godfrey.

Andrew Morrison:
Andy's 2-hour February show offers much more than the sum of its parts. small crew are exclusive session guests, providing four excellent new tracks. Brand new music comes from The Race, Y Diwygiad, James Yuill, Joy formidable and Shortwave Fade as well as a storming new remix of a Bomb The Bass classic. There's striking sounds from Andy's unsigned new find Raw Milk, and further unsigned tracks from Galchen, The War Crimes and others. Add Scott's Funky Five Minutes and Teresa's Tasty Tips into the equation, and there really is no reason not to factor the show into your leisure time calculations this February!

Jeff Grainger:
Jeff croaks his way through his first show of 2009 with thankfully enough brilliant tunes to distract you, dear listener, from the fact he totally lost his voice, to tonsillitis, the day after he recorded this show.

I was reading Colin Harper's book "Dazzling Stranger: Bert Jansch and the British Folk and Blues Revival" (published by Bloomsbury in 2000) this weekend and I found myself following one of the book's many characters (a young Ian Anderson, later to be the editor of Folk Roots magazine) out of Les Cousins into an early morning Soho. The narrative had him bumping into Judith Piepe and her boyfriend Stephen Delft, the guitar maker. The shock of bumping into two people I had known and admired more than 30 years ago (and had almost forgotten), so unexpectedly, in a book, made me snap it shut.

I was immediately filled with vivid memories of sitting in their flat in the East End, more than 35 years ago, hearing the life history of a guitar that I was tinkering with, falling in love with, was about to buy. And which I still have. I remember walking down the road from the flat to the workshop, seeing half finished guitars and racks of maturing wood. I remember
