I was deeply saddened to learn that a distribution centre, housing thousands of records distributed by PIAS, was burnt down during the London riots last week.

I hadn’t realised just how many independent record labels PIAS distributed. Last Wednesday I dedicated my show to artists who are on record labels that PIAS distribute. I could easily have filled a a show 3 times as long, just with the stuff I had to hand.

I’m pleased to see there has been such a lot of support from music lovers for PIAS since Monday. A website has been set up and there is also the new Twitter account @_label_love_ and the hashtag #labellove.

Last Tuesday I read an article on The Guardian website saying Why the Specials’ Ghost Town is still the sound of a country in crisis.

I thought that was the best thing I’d read yet about the riots, so I finished my show last week with a cover of Ghost Town by Kode9 & The Spaceape. It was the only tune in the show not directly related to PIAS, but there could have been no more relevant song, or version, to play the show out with.

If you want, you can listen again to the whole show.

It’s just not cricket… well, not tonight anyway. Last week the opposite was true, as it was just cricket on BCB, so I had no show.  I made up for it tonight though, by cramming in as much amazing music as was humanly possible.  You can listen again if you so wish.
