Lincoln takes reign...
Sunday 10pm-late - Harry Johns (Eustacia Vye, Stabbed
in Autumn) hosts The Pillars of Justice, playing the best
obscure and epic sounds imaginable, from Mogwai to 65daysofstatic.
(Does Harry ever have a minute spare, two bands on the go,
a new zine and this radio show)
Thursday 9pm-late - Koch (drummer-McFly) hosts The
Logic Session, broadcasting a more electro-ambient feel, with
live sessions and mad-as-eggs D&B and Electro insanity.
