I arrived here, hoping to download the show, but the mediafire links are dead. I know it's a bit cheeky, but if you have time, please could you re-up them. xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15815883.post-14986924129377704712010-08-10T09:10:40.237-07:002010-08-10T09:10:40.237-07:00You are a lone voice Anon but I know a lot of the ...You are a lone voice Anon but I know a lot of the last few shows have been downloaded, even if there are not many comments. Feedback is always useful though to gauge what is popular and what is not. Charlie was more famous in his later years for championing "world music" and most people seem to forget his early radio shows about the alternative indie scene , punk and pub rock etc. which he was passionate about at the time and I think this shows in his interviews and record choices. Some may seem at odds with what he did later but just shows you I think what a wide range of music he was interested in.Wastedpapiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833050707322694789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15815883.post-64116910139538881562010-08-10T04:09:07.948-07:002010-08-10T04:09:07.948-07:00I realise that it probably is not
