    Culture Cafe on RTE 2XM Show 60 Playlist: 12/09/2012

    I have to say I really enjoyed this week’s show and I was really delighted with how it turned out. I also had the chance to chat to two remarkably awesome gentlemen. Chris Helme, who has just released his album ‘The Rookery’ and was one time frontman of The Seahorses and Darren Hayes, solo artist and ex Savage Garden. It was also great to get so much feedback, thanks to everyone who contributed on Twitter and Facebook, there is absolutely no feeling like it when people are so up for getting involved in the show. Thank you.

    I’m not going to podcast this until after Sunday. Culture Cafe will be on RTE 2fm this Sunday night after 10pm as part of ‘2XM takes over’ so I’m thrilled to be able to give Chris and Darren some national FM exposure.

    Here’s the playlist for show 60:

    1. DJ Flip & Freezemaster Slick: Crossroads
    2. Eye Emma Jedi: Sin
    3. Citizens!: (I’m In Love With) Your Girlfriend

    Culture Cafe Podcast: Interview with Chris Burman from Spector

    I had the pleasure of speaking to Chris Burman from Spector a little while ago. I wrote all the words for Goldenplec and you can read them there. The interview was also partially broadcast on my radio show Culture Cafe, but I’ve decided to share the whole thing in one piece with you, the good people of the interwebs.

    So here it is in full, sit back with a cuppa and enjoy!
