Hi Andy! I'm a fan of Beat the Geeks and have always enjoyed your comments, knowledage and sly sarcasm on the show. In a "where are they now moment", I Googled your name and came across your radio show website. I've listened to a few shows and enjoy them.

Back in university in Halifax, Nova Scotia (mid-80s), I had a radio show called "Surface Noise", named after a Trouser Press column. I enjoyed playing anything from PiL, Funkadelic, Nick Drake, Byrne/Eno, and Big Star to some Jim and Tammy Bakker and Ivor Cutler. Eclectic indeed, and fun.

If I may make a request, how about some Big Star? Your choice of albums, but I'm particular to #1 Record. Lots of stuff to talk about there, with all of the bands who have covered their songs. Of not, that's fine too.

All the best,

Paul

Alex: I don't have a copy of this, sorry.

Paul M: thanks for writing! I'll see what I can do about the Big Star...

(plus: you've inadvertently reminded me that I've never played any Ivor Cutler on the show; I'll have to do something about that immediately.)

Andy,

I have a request: "Stormy" by Scott Walker. (Actually, anything from the "Til the Band Comes In" would be great, since I can't find that album for an affordable price anywhere- but I'd really love to hear "Stormy.")

Also, of course, I'd love to hear some more stuff from Power Records.

I missed your last show due to work, so I'm looking forward to the podcast! Thanks!
