An On-Air Funeral Service

Pop Goes The Revolution // 1200-1300 15.01.09

an on-air funeral

This week, join us as we lament the passing of our favourite band I Say Marvin, as well as also re-living the memories of other great unknown bands from recent times that have also hung up their guitars and gone home.

It will be a sad pop goes the revolution, so break out the black suits and veils, and get a hankerchief to dab away the tears and we say goodbye to some amazing acts we will miss dearly.

We are fully aware that you were all hoping to come back from the Winter Break to a world of fun and happiness, but in the current climate it is simply not possible. The Revolution has recieved a terrible blow.

Somewhere over the new year break, I Say Marvin split.

Many years ago in a tiny pub George caught a small glimpse of this band, and his life literally changed. A couple of years later and some excellent gigs in Glasgow the band also won over a woman called Nikki.

Another year later saw George and Nikki sit down in a room talking to two people called Ryan and Suse. They played a song called Gloria, and a long and interesting discussion about the glories of I Say Marvin began. A month or so later a radio show called Pop Goes The Revolution was born.

Now the musical glory has ended. Expect what can only be described as a sad beginning to the year.

Ecpect a long mourning process this week as we look back on the life and times of I Say Marvin and share are favourite stories of the band as well as playing as many of their tracks as we can legally get away with.

There will be no cliff list, there will only be a little of Nikki's news. There will be tears. There will be hyperbole.
