E Day 2009

Last Wednesday’s show was punctuated by me giving snippets of information about E-Day which takes place on 6th October.  Last year E-Day fell on a Wednesday so I gave you numerous bits of energy saving advice, stopping short of suggesting you actually turn the radio off.  This year the main focus of E-Day is a social experiment on the Isles Of Scilly.  There is lots of info about it on the E-Day website, including real-time energy meters for a school on the isles, the islands themselves, and even the whole country.

The songs I played this week, which I’m afraid had no direct linkage to E-Day, were:

J. Tilman – Crosswinds
The Heavy – Short Change Heroe
Lou Barlow – The Right
Juliana Hatfield – We’re Not In Charleston Anymore (from Ciao My Shining Star – the songs of Mark Mulcahy)
A Place To Bury Strangers – Exploding Head
Nick Cave & Warren Ellis – Zanstra
Micah P Hinson – You Didn’t have to be so nice
Grizzly Bear – Two Weeks
Autechre – EP7/Envane (Bogdan Raczynski remix)
Tender Trap – Fireworks
BLK JKS – Lakeside
Stardeath And White Dwarfs – Those who are from the sun return to the sun
The Twilight Sad – Seven Years Of Letters
Girls – Laura
