From the arctic tundra of the overly air-conditioned Totally Wired studio, over the airwaves to you dear listener! If you’re having trouble keeping track of all of Dionne’s comings and go-ings, then join the club… is this her glorious return, or are we now bored of the sound of her voice? Either way, she is all present and correct this week, and serving up some crispy waffles and syrupy tunes of the highest order, along with her hunchback sidekick Matt.
Hot n fresh out the kitchen this week are new tracks from the delectable Janelle Monae, a Tanlines remix of Bombay Bicycle Club, a Bjork cover by the Dirty Projectors, some Holy Ghost, Au Revoir Simone, Glass Candy, Fang Island, Wild Nothing and, of course, the all conquering CasioKids in celebration of their amazing win at the A-Ha Music Awards in Norway. (I don’t think that’s what the award is called, but they did win a wicked prize, and it was given to them by A-Ha, and it was in Norway). Gratulerer!!
