In the glory days of the 90s I switched my Saturday allegiance to Soccer AM watching Tim Lovejoy before he decided that talking about food on a Sunday morning beat having a laugh with his mates about football.
What both these things had in common other than monopolising my time on the 6th day of each week, was they were enjoyable to watch and made me smile. Key ingredients for anyone's weekend don't you think?
Last Saturday I was invited to take part in a feature on Claire Hickson's Saturday Morning Social on Meridian FM. Having recently discovered the show, I was delighted to be asked to join her and share some of my favourite songs both past and present. What stands out about the show is that it's great fun to listen to and for all indie lovers, Claire plays 2 hours of classic tracks from 10am-12pm every Saturday morning.
Radio is often overlooked in the entertainment stakes but I've ditched the tv and found my new Saturday morning soundtrack. I'd encourage you all to give the show a listen and take part in the twitter conversation.
If you're interested, my song choices for the 'Something old, new, borrowed and blue' feature were:
Something old - The Charlatans - Just Lookin' (The song that kicked off my Britpop summer of 1995)
Something new - Hooton Tennis Club - Jasper (My favourite single of the year by my favourite new band of the year)
Something borrowed - Johnny Cash - Hurt (One of the most stunning songs reborn as a modern classic)
Something blue - Jeff Buckley - Lover you should've come over (Beautifully poetic and tinged with sadness and tragedy. From one of the best albums you could ever choose to listen to)
Why not tune in online from 10am today? You can join in on twitter by following @musicnostalgic
