George Lenton

Sometimes its just too much. You sit down at the computer, open up Word, open up Firefox, facebook tab, close Firefox, close Word, Start > Shutdown.

Start again, Pen out, Paper out, book open, desks full, cup of coffee falls off the table. fuck it
Pick up paper, rip it. fuck it

Its time to relax, leave the coffee to stain the floor, and put on San Angel by George Lenton. With reggae samples, paper ripping and heartbeat of blue whale this song transforms you into the ideal of tranquility. A self-help specialist would say "Imagine writing down all your problems; aches and pains, and listen as you rip them in half". Thanks for that, i need that...

Rock and Roll Circus

After an evening with Fakeblood, and some dubious mixing by Bowski today was purely set for R&R. Things were looking up after Englands victory, and the hair of the dog took effect. The best was yet to come, popping into the Brudenell Social Club for a game of pool I found this little gem.

A presentation of local bands, it makes you proud to be living in Leeds! We've got a Beep-off from Tim Hardy and he's chosen a track from the CD so tune in tomorrow at 11am on LSRfm.com to listen.

A Brief Introduction to the Morning Fader:

A little taster for those who have not managed to listen to the show yet. To listen to the show, make sure you have iTunes loaded on your computer, and go to LSRfm.com and click listen.

Unlikely End

Wednesday night Fav is a standard. Ending with these two songs made the night, the definition of a mix bag, especially when it was followed by The Drums, a little bizarre, but never mind!

Pharoahe Monch - Simon Says

and then, I swear this track had been selected just for me, the only thing that there was left to do was to thank the DJ, grab my coat and face the cold.

Joy Orbison - Hyph Mngo

We Do Requests: Stornoway

The mode is not anti-folk, new-folk, electro-folk.. its 'Wholesome music'. Adverts for wholegrain brown bread have had an effect on this generation of musicians, as they write their chords to the crunch of pumpkin seeds. We played Stornoway on our show on Sunday, and I have had so many requests about it from listeners that it'd be rude not to make an extra point about it!

Made by a singer who can sing, a guitarist who doesn't worry about the odd sustaining note, and a drummer who owns a snare. Introducing Stornoway with 'Zorbing' (Define: the art of rolling down a hill in a human-sized hamster ball)

Morning Fader Recommended

So we thought we'd make things easy for you, so we put together a quick collection of songs that we've used on the show in the past couple of weeks. Might be good music to listen to while you read the article in the blog too.. maybe!
