The Gun Show

Rara // 1100-1200 24.02.09

may we have a word?

It has taken four months and the pressure of an FM broadcast for Rara to make good on our promise to bring THE WORD to The People: watch out as our brand new format takes over the shape of the show as we loosely mold proceedings around the flimsy backdrop of a crossword.

Sound intriguing?

Laura will try to untangle the closely knit chat and watch tangents explode all over the FM airwaves.

Wired for Sound
Cliff Richard EMI
Train
Uncle John and Whitelock GFM
"AM/FM I am so ecstatic now! It's music I've found and I'm Wired for Souuund" We let Sir Cliff do the talking for our entry onto the FM airwaves: it's just Laura for a bit in the studio attempting to explain the new crossword format whilst being distracted by studio goblins.
Hey Joe
Love Mira
die matrosen
LiLiPuT Rough Trade
14 down: weapon store: what do we keep in an Armoury? Well...weapons...that was part of the clue, but GUNS: Hey, Joe, where you going with that gun? A bit of a shout out to our friend Joseph, formerly of the Bottle Rocket show (Thursdays 2pm) who I worked with at Kaput, which is also the answer to 24 Across: a substance used for misty stage effects (3,3) DRY ICE anyone? Gosh, who knew learning could be so fun?
Long Snake Moan
PJ Harvey Island
Snake
Frightened Rabbit Fat Cat
A discussion ensues about how easy it definitely is to choose a song about a 'snake' that is not actually about a penis, cause we totally managed not to make any penis innuendos at all in those songs. Moving on, TARA arrives and chat turns to Jade Goody and the best songs for weddings and funerals, or both if you want to do it efficiently like Ms Goody/Mrs Tweedy.
Livin' Thing
ELO Jet
A bittersweet nod to ELO bassist Kelly Groucutt who died over the weekend: it's a terrible thing to lo-o-se! Rara are away to continue a book based dissertation led onslaught which will shove more facts and figures in your face next week.
You're Gonna make me Lonesome when you're gone
Bob Dylan Columbia
Dance me to the end of love
Leonard Cohen Columbia
