Zane First Spin For 'Tupenny Nudger'

Great start to the week last night with Zane Lowe spinning the first play of LaFaro's 'Tupenny Nudger' on R1. Big props from Zane about the whole label in fact, for which we are very grateful and we're also delighted with all the texts that were sent in about the tune. It's great when you all get behind on of our bands.

'Tupenny Nudger' will be released on a special TShirt/Download set - which we'll be announcing later this week - another new STA Store Exclusive!

Track comes in at [1:25:05] listen again and feel free to tweet the show showing your respect for the LaFaro boys http://bit.ly/964hNP

Be Awkward

Oh, poor little blog, how neglected you are... However, fear no more, because here is some VERY EXCITING NEWS!

Next week, on Wednesday April 23rd to be exact, STA will be taking over Radio 1! Sort of. Both Fighting With Wire and Alan MX have been invited to record live sessions for Huw Stephen's In New Music We Trust show.

This is, obviously Proper Cool.

As I've just posted over at the STA site, we've also got some spare guestlist places. Click on this if you want more details on that.

The best thing to remember is this, though: Radio 1 (like all of the BBC) are able to give labels such as us airtime like this because they're a public service broadcaster. This means that, essentially, they work for you. If they play something you like, you should tell them that you like it and that they should play it again. If they're not playing anything you like and you want them to, you should tell them this as well. As a great example - Let Our Enemies Beware (as seen on Public Service Broadcast 9) recently got a couple of plays from good old Zane Lowe, and all because someone who liked them emailed him and told him to play them.

That, dear readers, is the power of non-corporate public broadcasting. Treasure it, because, as anyone who's been subjected to North American radio will tell you, we're very lucky to have it.
