We All Fall Down, June 10th, 2010

I was really excited about this week’s show. Last Friday I did the interview with Thomas Barnett (the lead singer for Strike Anywhere) and this Thursday I played clips of this interview on air. Thomas is a really nice person! For me it was an honor to talk to a member of the band which I really like. I was really impressed with our conversation. Outside the interview we talked about different topics and the things Thomas was saying made me confident that he really believes in what he sings about. That sounds obvious, isn’t it? But sometimes when I listen to some hardcore bands, it sounds to me that they sing about political topics, just because being a part of hardcore scene they “need” to have lyrics with political context. Thomas really believes in the words he says and I respect that.

In the interview, Thomas was talking about the song “Indian Summer” by Canadian band One Blood. I really wanted to play this song on the show and it took me 5 days to find this song, and thanks to all the people who helped me, I was able to play this amazing song on the show. Luca, xitooo, Stephe, thank you so much for all you help!
