The Analogue Hour Show 1

During the summer, I sent a cheeky email to RTE asking could I have a show on their new digital alternative music station, 2XM. I was pretty surprised when two weeks later I got an email from none other than Mark ‘Maniac 2000′ McCabe saying I had a weekly show. At the moment, it’s an hour long but that could expand to two hours in the new year. The great thing about our show is that it’s not playlisted unlike many other radio stations, it’s brilliant I have complete freedom in what I pick to play. We recorded what we hope to be the first of many live 2XM sessions about two weeks ago. Porn On Vinyl recorded three really simple yet beautiful songs(think Elliot Smith meets Neutral Milk Hotel), they’ll be played on a show in the middle of January.
