Last nights Smoking Behind The Bike Sheds live radio show from Blunt HQ was certainly entertaining! - All sorts of music from across the years and genres, reflecting our respectful youthful memories. DJs at the controls for this trip down memory lane were Blunt residents Marcus Hurley and Agent M, joined by Special Guest Oli Twizzle.

Big thanks go out this week to our special guest DJ Oli (Mr. Twizzle) for a superb mish-mash of quality beats, just for us. A very special thank you also goes to J for taking care of some technical issues of G Hurley’s, and effectively allowing the show to go ahead by the skin of it’s teeth. Ras Pizzler saves the day once more.

Anyway. A full tracklisting is below, and you can download the whole show for the next 7 days via our radio page. Nice.

It’s that time once more when we use our live radio show to delve back into our musical pasts. Cringeworthy in some places. Classic in others.

What I’m going on about is the fact that tomorrows radio show sees the return of “Smoking Behind The Bike Sheds“.

For those of you who aren’t in the know, this is where the Blunt residents, and our guests, take you on a long and winding journey through the tunes of our youth. Stuff we loved. Stuff we hated. Stuff that we just remember from that time. Stuff we went out and got ourselves. Stuff we were given. Stuff we were forced to listen to. Stuff we weren’t allowed to listen to. Whatever. It’s all there.

On this show, Marcus Hurley and Agent M will be joined by special guest (good to have you back at HQ amigo) Oli (of Oli Twizzle fame), who will be joining the gang in selecting personal, indulgent tunes, from a simpler time. Jumpers for goalposts, anyone?

We’ve been busying ourselves here at Blunt HQ, earning gold stars for all the ideas we come up with for musical treats for you lucky people. Admittedly, we’re lazy little buggers, so not all out ideas come to fruition.

However, our 10beat project is an exception. What we’re doing is getting 5 of the crew (or guests), to simply give us 2 tracks that they are listening to, with a little explanation as to why. Our thinking is that it’ll allow us to showcase some of the music that we don’t always get to play in our radio shows. Continue reading…
