It's election night in America, do you know where you votes are? Honestly, Simon and I have found ourselves suckered into bloviating political commentary before and I've somewhat concluded that it makes for our worst radio — who the fuck are we, anyway? And all the more during such a demonically awful time, in an election that could realistically only be a step forward, not a do-over, we kinda felt we'd keep that on the down-low. So, there're some songs, we're not ignoring it, and we...

A solo round from Ben, doubling down on mostly-new music this week, with a decadent diversion into the soundtrack works of Radiohead.

A nice show this week, full of great music, but somber as we note the passing of our friend and BFF.fm legend Ben Russo. Read the memorial to him here. Rest in peace, Ben, you're an inspiration and one of the most upright, kind-hearted people you could know. Truly a rock of our radio community, it's hard to imagine we'd recognise BFF.fm today without his influence and hard work in the early years. We also announced that at the end of November, Eclectic Kettle will be coming to an end. 😱...
