Could this be our finest show to date? The proof’s in the pudding, so step in a take a listen!

On this week’s show, our dynamic (*ahem*) duo, high on cups of tea and possibly a sly biscuit or two, roll out tracks covering the glossy, not-remotely-ironic 80s production of Tigercity, the dubstep-meets-ska of Jazz Steppers, arguably the all-time gay anthem of Man 2 Man feat. Man Parrish and the unassailable genius of the KLF’s awesome (and frankly bloody hilarious) “Whitney Joins The JAMs”.

Now, as some may be aware we record these shows in pairs, and this was the second one of our last session, done on the 27th January. So, it was with some sad irony that Trick opted to air the mighty John Martyn’s “Devil Get My Woman”, singing the man’s praises… only to get news from Tom 24hrs later that the big man himself had passed away at the age of 60. A sad loss indeed – but hey, let’s celebrate the man’s music as it rightly deserves.

As if all that isn’t enough, we also have the ragga-meets-Quo stylings of Elephant Man (no, seriously), the b-more stylings of KZ & Bullfro… er… Bulldog, and the minimalist brilliance of Plastikman’s “Consumed” LP.

Factor in chatter covering gay disco, pretending to be the KLF, the days when headless guitars were fashionable, Tom’s guilty infatuation with Lacey Turner, the campness of early 80s hip hop and much, much more… Get stuck in!

Welcome then to the all-new Mr Trick and Wrongtom site, where all of our shows are now residing and where all new ones will also be posted. Currently sporting an “under construction” theme in the vain of the Lando Calrissian-era Death Star (thanks for that one Tom!), we will be developing this into something marvellous as and when we 1) find the time and 2) find the talent for the job.

The keen-eyed among you will also have spotted that we now have Facebook integration on the site. In short, this means that if you have a Facebook account, you can log in over there on the right and comment using your Facebook ID. So, no registration required anymore, though if you’d rather not use your real name, you can also create a regular account as per usual and use that. Facebook comments can also be posted back to your news feed on your Facebook page; just check the box below your comment, or uncheck if you’d rather it didn’t appear there.

In addition, if you want to invite your Facebook friends to come listen to a show or whatever, you can do so just by clicking the button over on the right.

Facebook snazziness aside, we hope you like the new site and its extra elements like our Featured Video slot and hopefully (time allowing!) some reviews and other bits of interest.

Now – onto our other BIG news…

Yes, after being annexed to the world of podcasting for some 6 months or more, we are finally returning to the FM airwaves in a weekly slot. Make a note people: Wednesdays, 10-11pm GMT, Resonance 104.4FM. Or, if you’re not in London, you can listen online via Resonance’s spiffy 128k MP3 streams over at www.resonancefm.com.

But that’s not all. Ohhh no. Given as how we’re LIVE on-air again, we’re bringing back a bit more audience interaction. So, if you want to text us while we’re on air, fire an SMS to us on 07948 428963. If for some reason you’re not in the UK, you might want to change that number to +447948 428963.

In addition, we’re ramping up the web interaction by opening our show’s Twitter account for business. From this we will be posting pics during the show (most likely of album artwork, but probably also of us arsing about/drinking tea/looking moody* too) but also checking for messages from you lovely listeners.

When does this all start? Only this coming Wednesday, the 11th! Make a note in your diary and tune in – trust us, hearing it live is so much better than the playback…

Speaking of which: for those of you concerned about downloading the shows, fear not – we will also be podcasting shows as usual, so if you cannot tune in for any reason, you can still download the show some 24 hours later, with the only difference being that you cannot interact and tell us what you’re thinking.

See you on air on Wednesday!

At last – back on air! Yes, this week’s podcast was originally aired on Resonance 104.4FM last night, and if you missed it, boy you missed out. Having booted The Pogues’ Jem Finer out of the studio for over-running, the fustered duo took to the airwaves like rally drivers to…er… a canoe.

Music comes courtesy of Al Green, Mountain, St Etienne, Viv Stanshall, Yo Gabba Gabba, Dee Nasty and more. Along the way, we took in contributions from listeners including the revelation that we were on the stereo in a Jersey curryhouse (surely a career peak), suggestions for our studio email address and ohhhh so much more.

As you may also know, we had a live Twitter feed running during the show, with photos being posted and various other ramblings. To see it, click here, as there’s LP covers posted and more… (and if you’re checking this 3 months later, peel back to posts made 11th February).

I decided to have a week of dub uploads this week, so head over to mrtrick.net to grab my own one-take versions of some roots classics such as Linval Thompson’s “Tell Me” (as aired on last week’s show), Knowledge’s “Sentry” and more…

Go check the action.
