22nd Show (or The Movie Show Plays For Laughs)

Hey Folks,
Schedules a bit different this week as the Studio is having a bit of a refurb on Thursday so we'll instead be going out live tonight Monday 25th March at 20:00 GMT. Never fear though faithful listeners as the show will be rebroadcast in its normal slot on Thursday.

As we were originally due to broadcast in our usual Thursday slot we thought we'd tie into April Fools days and have Comedy Movies as our theme this time, so we might be a bit ahead by going out on Monday but hey we thought we'd stick with it.

We triumphantly return to the world of cheese tonight as the Movies we've drawn tracks from have a large eighties bias (I can hear the cheering already). Jimmy D's a bit ill this week (again! I swear the man has no immune system) so I thought I'd be kind and leave off with the J-pop, although we do have a track lined up from a Japanese feature but its rather more stately than our usual picks.

As always Victorian Monkeys back with another classic, no idea what he's chosen yet but its sure to be a treat, and expect the usual previews, news and informative (ahem!) banter.

Hit the BSR Listen Live link to the left to tune in and we hope you enjoy.

Happy listening.

Twenty First Show (or The Movie Show will Drive You Insane)

Hey Folks,
the 21st show will being going out live tomorrow Thursday 14th March 2013 at 20:00 GMT.

For this weeks show we've decided to venture outside the world of film to draw inspiration for our musical theme. And so we'll be tying into the Geneva Motor Show which is currently running.

Therefore for this show we'll be pulling tunes from movies which heavily feature cars or prominent car-chases. Expect music from classics (Mad Max), not so classic (Days of Thunder) and downright awful (Talladega Nights). Somehow even with the automotive theme I've still managed to sneak a J-pop track in :) (Just hope the other two don't notice until its too late.)

As always usual rules apply for the rest of the show, previews and reviews of upcoming movies etc, and Victorian Monkeys got another all time classic lined up for the awesomeness that is Cult Corner.

Tune in through the BSR Listen Live link to the left and don't forget to get in touch. Happy listening.
