On this show I was joined in the studio by my friend Kathleen and over the course of two hours we had songs about gay pirates and a club for villains, a chat with David about an innovative new use for Guitar Hero controllers, silly news stories and the stupidity of Manchester City player Mario Balotelli, a brand new song from Jane's Addiction's upcoming album, and Kathleen's repeated mentions of Cherry Lube.

Also, I captured the moment I gave Kathleen her birthday present for your viewing pleasure:


There were mentions of a few community projects being championed by Radio LaB and its presenters. Firstly, Radio LaB itself have been inviting local poets to record audio versions of their work. If you would like to listen, or are a poet in the Luton area and would like your work featured, please go to the Radio LaB website.

And secondly, one woman has seemed to have heard our collective cries that there is no real representation for local bands and artists in the Luton area. Natalie Mason has set up a project called The Luton Scene which champions new, unsigned acts from and around Luton. Please take the time to check out its Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Soundcloud or Blog, this is a great concept and is helping to promote many great up and coming acts.

Also featured: an example of Radio LaB's new Poetry From The Community Project and highlights from the first (and hopefully last!) Radio LaB Rap-Off between host of The Lunchbox Tor and one of our managers (and host of Monday's edition of The Guest List) Connor Hughes.

I hope you like it, I think its the best one yet! Just as a side note, there will not be a show next Saturday as I will be attending this, but I will be back the following Saturday on April 16th.

See you all in two weeks!
