The Show : Careless Talk Costs Lives (Alt. Indie)
music icon Everett True takes us on a journey into his world extoling the virtues of the best alt. Indie around.

Presented by : Everett True
Editor of Careless Talk Costs Lives - a magazine he was inspired to help create after realising he was clearly no longer a target NME reader. "After all, I'm smart, opinionated, passionate about music and witty," he remarked.

Everett has edited several music publications, including Melody Maker and VOX, and written a couple of books - notably Live Through This (Virgin), detailing the rise and fall of grunge in the Nineties, and the biography Hey Ho Let's Go: The Story of The Ramones (Omnibus).

And : Stevie Chick
Journalist with the NME music paper and contributor to Careless talk Cost Lives magazine, he also DJ's with Everett True in London and Brighton.

The Show : Fat Cat (Alt. Indie)
Purr 'veyors of quality noise - the fatcat show tends to take in just about every musical style you can think of, depending on who's at the controls and how the mood takes them.

Presented by : Fat Cat Records
Starting life as a record shop supplying electronic based music, Fat Cat Records went on to start the label which has since brought us Sigur Ros, Black Dice, Set Fire To Flames, David Grubbs, Mum, Xinlisupreme, Mice Parade, Him, Crescent, Giddy Motors, and Stromba.
Fat Cat joined forces with totallyradio in 2001 shortly after moving to Brighton.

The Show : Gilded Palace (Alt. Country)
Country of maximum torch and tortured twang from down the decades; state-of-the-heart alt. country; winsome singer-songwriter sorts; plush power-pop, cajun chaos, zydeco zip, Southern rock and sad, sad songs by troubled types

Presented by : David Morrison
Slithered from a swamp at an advanced age, clutching a banjo and a sack of tins. Entered the music industry shortly after it's formation, and has done little (else) since. He writes a lot about it, stages shows and sells shiny discs in the day.

David is possessed of healthy cynicism and gallows humour; vital traits both in the appreciation of country music. Vintage reggae, punk rock and soul also have him aroused. Life highlights include dinner with a grumpy Kurt Wagner, spilling a drink on Ray Davies and crying in the presence of Mike Oldfield.

The Show :Totally Wired (Leftfield)

Shiny breakbeats, lo-fi ,psych, garage, leftfield indie, old school hip hop, hardcore, drum and bass and weird electronics.
