Hello
Just to remind you - and me - that Yo La Tengo will be on the show tonight between 9 and 10.
They will be playing some of their favourite records and fielding my finely honed (ahem) questions. And some of yours if you wish.
Leave them here... or email or text the show while we're on.

Some thoughts, Just how worried does Ira's guitar tech look during a set? Has Ira learned where to come in on 'Tears are in Your Eyes' yet?
Baseball/rounders - just for girls?
Danny Baker on bass, sweet.
They must get asked a lot about their name (I looked up the Hispanic/baseball connection myself).
I had thought it was either Archimedes ("Eureka!") or Professor Higgins remixed ("By Jove, I think she's got it!).
What other names did they consider?

Just to let you know, I really enjoyed the show last night. I had some friends over for the evening. We listened to the show whilst playing scrabble and sipping a few ciders. Great stuff!
Thanks, they were great and dealt well with being taken up a number of cul de sacs by me.
And they chose some great records. I've met them a few times and think they are responsible for some of the best records of the last 15/20 years or so but I would never say that to their faces because I wouldn't want to embarrass them. Or indeed me.
Amazing musicians. All three of them.
it was great to hear. who'd have though that they'd get an hour of quality air-time some ten years (and less) ago when they struggled to even get airplay.
i had so many things i wanted to ask that i just oscillated wildly and couldn't get it together to email.
top work, mister

Great stuff. Skirted around the all revealing and incisive rounders question though Gid. Glad Ira found the TIYE comment in good humour - I can put 'Made Yo La Tengo chuckle' on the CV now... hee hee.
Just listened, I enjoyed it a lot. Now why didn't I go and see them live on the last tour? I know why, but still, I should have gone. :|
