musomusofm on the radar playlist #41 - Temperature Falls, Luhan Si Hadin, Louis Cross, Late Hala and more....
It is 31st March and as I type, I am on a train to Bristol for a couple of days in the office.
I’m excited as I should be covering a gig tonight, at this moment in time, I’m unsure whether it is going to be IDLES at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff or Killing Joke at the O2 Academy in Bristol. As I haven’t yet been told, I am currently sleeping on the streets as I haven’t booked a room, this won’t be the first time but I’m sure I will receive an email sometime this morning so I can get something arranged. Knowing my luck, I’ll be shacked up with a bunch of Lithuanian backpackers in a hostel somewhere, sleeping with one eye open to keep an eye on my camera equipment.
Playlist #40 was VERY strong, I hope you will find #41 as good as there is again, a mixed bag of goodies for you to get involved with.
