Squeeze on talkSPORT radio - rescheduled

So there I was...

Sat at squeeze reader towers with my little radio listening to talkSPORT and waiting for the airwaves to be lit up with the delights of Messrs Difford & Tilbrook.

As I did my morning rounds of tidying the desks, watering the pop plants and topping up the water cooler with gin, I heard the presenter say "Squeeze" and ran to my radio.

Unfortunately my moment of happiness was short-lived as Jon Gaunt announced that he won't be playing the interview today as he wanted to carry on taking calls.

With a sigh, I walked over to the water cooler, filled up my mug and went back to my desk.

However every cloud has a silver lining, and some good did come out of this...
... while I browsed the talkSPORT website, I saw a "Listen Live" link which will enable overseas fans to hear the interview when it gets played out next week :0)

For now, I'll have a listen back to the show to make sure none of the session tracks were played when I nipped out for a Twix bar.

Squeeze on UK Radio- Nov 23

It's a wet, wet, wet day here at squeeze reader towers...

Frank, my faithful newshound is lying in his basket and dreaming of unearthing the world's biggest bone, while yours truly is playing solitaire on her computer.

All of a sudden Frank's ears pop up and he bounds over to my inbox.
Within seconds he has presented me with the soggy remnants of an email (and a pen which I've been searching for since last Tuesday!)

The lovely Jeanine from the Glenn_list alerts us to two, YES TWO!, Squeeze appearances on UK Radio tomorrow...

Squeeze are doing a session on the Mark Lamarr show at midnight on BBC
Radio 2 this Friday 23 November.
Glenn and Chris are doing an acoustic performance and interview which
will also transmit this Friday 23rd on Jon Gaunt's show on talkSPORT.
His show airs from 10am - 1 pm.

Luckily there is a listen again option on the Mark Lamarr show...page

Jeanine, you rock!

Gone bloggin'

After taking a nice cool shower from yesterday's hot Squeeze news, I stumbled across An Illustrated Guide To Squeeze from the Sweeping The Nation blog.

I'm looking forward to reading this once I've watered the pot plants at squeezereader towers, took out our faithful newshound, Frank for his run around the park and eaten that banana which was carelessly left by the cleaner...


... ooh, tempted by the fruit of another ;0)

NEW! SQUEEZE! LIVE! ALBUM!

Yesssss!


There are certain things that get you excited when looking through your inbox...

Now I'm not talking about young ladies offering to show you their 'creative' pictures, nor once in a lifetime offers that involve you giving your bank details to overseas businessmen.... nor am I talking about shirtless screengrabs of the swoonsome Dr Perry Cox from Scrubs...

... Actually the last one does make me beam like a Cheshire cat (and if anyone wants to send me shirless pictures of said doctor then you'll be making one Squeezefan very happy indeed)

Er, where was I?

Oh yes! Talking about excitement in my inbox!

So there I was, browsing through the Glenn_list when I see this from David (tour de force behind the groovy Packet Of Three website):

Well I squeaked in delight and punched the air like an extra from an eighties rock video.

Needless to say, I am beaming like the Cheshire cat who got all of the cream :0)

Oop! Nearly missed this one!

Sorry for the delay in posts, readers! Things have been busy at work, and as that pays slightly more than blogging about Squeeze (at least for the moment), I had to pay attention.

Anyway, Jonathan Ross promises "music from Squeeze" on his radio show in a few hours. It's on BBC Radio 2 from 1000 to 1300 hours (or 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.). I'm thinking that may mean live in the studio? But I could be wrong.
