Huey Morgan plays an eclectic mix of the best music from the past six decades, plus he talks to new band Teenagers in Tokyo ahead of the release of their second single.

With his motto "if it's cool, I'll play it", Fun Lovin' Criminal Huey Morgan plays an eclectic mix of the best music from the past six decades, spanning rock, rap, reggae, blues, disco, soul and Latino. Inspired by his New York upbringing and his experiences as a musician, Huey accompanies his playlist with personal anecdotes and stories in his own inimitable laid-back style.

This week, Huey takes a break from his iconic rockers to invite a new band in to guest on the show. Signed to Back Yard Recordings (the home of The Gossip and Chromeo) Teenagers In Tokyo gained a solid live reputation in their home town of Sydney supporting the likes of !!!, CSS, The Slits and The Gossip. Darker and more brooding than the aforementioned artists Teenagers In Tokyo take their cues from punk, grunge and goth with a splash of more uplifting disco to lighten the mood occasionally. The band has recently relocated to London to record their debut longplayer with Bat For Lashes producer David Kosten due for release in early 2010. Huey talks to them following their release of double A-Side 'Isabella'/'Long Walk 成人快手' and ahead of the release of their second single. Consisting of the stylish Samantha Lim on lead vocals, Miska, Linda and Sophie on Keys, Bass and Guitar and lone male Rudy on drums, and coming hot on the heels of the similarly melancholic The XX, the band seem to have a promising 2010 in front of them.

Plus quirky folk singer-songwriter Emmy The Great trawls her record collection for an alternative gem in 'Sharing Is Caring' and listeners get to suggest their own Sunday chill-out jams in 'Slack Sabbath'.
