- Tuesday Night @ East Coast FM - cant believe its December. That time of year, when for the next 20 days Michael Buble comes out for his seasonal outing across the airwaves. Try as he might he is not going to appear on this show. In fact, for the next 2 hours I’m putting him back in the cupboard under lock and key because here @ the Sundown Sessions we only play the finest music to grace our turntables through the decades
- Revue by Squeeze, from their 1979 album Cool for Cats,
3. before I give out the text number I have a bit of an ask… followers will noticed that I put out a teaser, this week is no exception and with White China playing this weekend it seemed right to mark that with a White China special if you like… all but exhausted the material I have off them after tonight so drop me a text or add a comment on the page what youre most excited to hear. You might just mention a track I’m not aware of highlighting a gap in my record collection that needs filled.

8. John Duncan on lead vocals - i do remember reading an interview where, at the time, he was a bit
9. cynical of the release made just to capitalise on the fact that he had been working with Kurt Kobain
10. and Nirvana on a tour (he was Cobains guitar technician) that might have changed because they
