Drumtastic...
Hoping for a more relaxed show tonight although as the theme is the songs that you can't stop drumming along to it's unlikely I'll be sitting down for a breather.
Last night's show was manic. TV themes got one of our biggest responses in ages and I was completely overwhelmed by the amount of emails and texts. The problem we had is that many of the old TV themes were quite hard to track down (Not sure if the theme from Pipkins ever made the top twenty!) and then unlike pop songs they were all very, very short. There were several moments last night where the previous song finished and the next one hadn't yet downloaded. Ach - the joy of live broadcasting. Slightly stressful but great, great fun.
Good drumming songs lined up for tonight and the weirdest ever trail for MacAulay and Co. I am a bit freaked out by it and you'll hear why later on....

One of those nights we could've done with an extra hour....definitely one or two that we'll have to get on Saturday's show.
Producer Kirsten makes a welcome return tomorrow night with the theme WANT/DON'T WANT. Why not suggest one of each, to suit either mood?!
