Welcome to the weekend, everyone.Hey, I'm early this week, for a change, Gold Star for me, yes ?Changes continue to be made, (albeit at rather a slow pace due to other working commitments), to the Studio here at AZ Towers. Another couple of weeks, and we'll have it how we want it. Almost.This will be just in time for the return of one of our Presenters to nip back and do a Show for us - oh, exclusive news here ! - as the Punklicious Zoe will be here once again. We're all looking forward to that - more news when we know exact dates, transmission times, and the like..On to this weekend, and it's a Swedish / Scots production, of sorts, with Pixie here with us on Saturday evening, and Johnny Reece, on Sunday.At this point I usually publish both Playlists - but I will list just the one this time - and with good reason.It's all explained below.Whoever you are, and wherever you are, have a great weekend. And keep in touch !..----------------The Pixie ShowSaturday 28th July 200721.00 hours (UK time)www.rti.fm, and Sky 0195Also available now, on our Pod.Atomic Swing - SmileShout Out Louds - The ComebackThe Ronettes - Do I Love YouThe Hives - Find Another GirlTikkle Me - Butterflies In My TummyThe Specials - Little BitchWeezer - Island In The Sun1990s - SwitchThe Tough Alliance - Looking For GoldThe Littlans - The WayGraham Coxon - I Can't Look At Your SkinThe Killers - Read My MindMando Diao - Song For AberdeenPlacebo - Where Is My MindPerkele - WeekendBlur - Coffee And TVDropkick Murphys - Get UpHim - Wicked GameSuperheroes - What's Going OnShout Out Louds - Time Left For LoveThe View - Face For RadioBlonde Redhead - Signs Along The PathThe High Hats - I Took Too MuchBlondie - X OffenderEtta James - At LastThe Kinks - Wonder Where My Baby Is TonightThe Pipettes - Because It's Not LoveAlbert Hammond Jnr - ScaredSuburban Kids With Biblical Names - Loop Duplicate My HeartMarit Bergman - This Is The YearGentle Touch - FascinationBonnie And Clyde - Life Is A PeanutArcade Fire - Intervention,----------------------------The Johnny Reece ShowSunday 29th July 200720.00 hours (UK time)www.rti.fm and Sky 0195On the Pod from Midnight 29th July.Well, here's the deal. It's an A to Z on AZ. Johnny did this before, first song by an artist/group beginning with the letter A (band name, or solo artist surname) and worked right through the alphabet, in order.Previously, listeners wrote in and said they'd rather not know the playlist in advance, as they would attempt to guess what Artists are coming up next, whilst they listen. Impossible, surely ?However, a couple of listeners did get 5 correct out of 26 last time (hey, we have to trust you on this) and that really was very good - we're impressed ! Some may be obvious, and some certainly not.So, we will publish the Playlist - after the Show is aired. Good luck with your guessing !Want to guess upfront ? Hey, just mail us... we'll give special prizes if you do well !..Thanks, as ever, for your support..Steve Lloyd PR The Album Zone.Album Zone Official Blog : http://thealbumzone.blogspot.comAlbum Zone Official MySpace : http://www.myspace.com/albumzone

Hi midweek Zoneheads, all ok ? If you're in the UK, not flooded out I hope !It's been a week of technical mishaps, for sure. Once again the Saturday Album Zone via RTI was cut short, leading to, ermm, full and frank discussions, shall we say. Then, on Sunday, the Johnny Reece Show didn't appear until three quarters of an hour after it should have been in your ears.Fingers (and ears) crossed for no such mishaps this time around.All recent Shows are on our Pod, should you have missed anything..Those of you who tune into Radio Seagull for the AZ repeats will have already heard Barry De Foyle earlier this evening. This coming Friday, Gil Legine takes the chair, and on Saturday, Johnny Reece.Full Schedule details via their website, at http://www.radioseagull.com.Next week, the Seagull schedule changes once again, with AZ occupying 3 evening slots (Monday to Wednesday) and 3 overnight slots later in the week - perfect for our USA based listeners..Back to the here and now, and we're happy to announce the return of Pixie.Her brand new opus is being uploaded to our Pod this very evening, Wednesday.This will also be the programme which fills our Saturday evening slot this week via RTI (www.rti.fm) with the Johnny Reece Show being on Sunday evening.Oh, we get everywhere !.I'll be back with you this weekend, with the full weekend playlists...Steve Lloyd PR The Album Zone..

Hello Zoneheads, our quick usual short sharp midweek update, with details of our shows worldwide via Radio Seagull, taking place this week. The place to be ? www.radioseagull.com.Tonight, Tuesday, it's Johnny Reece, Wednesday it's Richard Bismarck, and on Friday it's Andy Miles.All of those shows, are broadcast at Midnight (UK time).Then, Saturday at 21.00 hours, it's Johnny Reece..Missed any Programmes ? Oh, catch up with any, either by download or by playing them straight to your PC, from our Pod. You'll find it at : http://www.4shared.com/dir/391612/be81ca22/sharing.html
.
As some of you will know, AZ originally had 6 hours airtime per week, from Radio Seagull. This increased to 8 hours per week only for this month, July 2007, as an experiment.
However, we are happy to announce our increase in airtime via these frequencies, to 12 hours per week, at the very end of this month.
We'll have 3 evenings of 2 hour shows (UK time, 18.00 hours, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday), and we will be repeating those exact Programmes on the following 3 mornings, during the night in fact (UK time, 02.00 hours, on Thursday, Friday, Saturday) meaning our USA listeners will have the opportunity to hear the same Programmes in primetime evening slots, too.
That seems the best way to handle it. Full details at the end of the month though, as these will not swing into action until 30th July.
.
We're back at the weekend with another bulletin, with news and playlists for our forthcoming Saturday and Sunday evening shows via RTI (www.rti.fm), featuring Richard Bismarck, and Johnny Reece.
.
Have a great week !

The new Studio chair is here....Just thought I'd let that sink in, for a second. But - here's the thing. It never stops there, does it ? I wondered when our Scotsman would decide other things had to be changed, and sure enough, plans are afoot. What sounds like an easy task on paper, is certainly not in reality, as our leader has decided that the plinth that all the equipment sits on needs streamlined, reshaped, and most of all, moved to another location, albeit in the same room. Sounds easy ? Well... apart from having to dismantle and disconnect everything, do what is required and then put everything back together again, that's it. It could easily cut the most part of a week out of the ether.But, looking around, he's right. It will be more manageable once the job is done. First, we need to get a little more upfront with some AZ Programmes, if we know the Studio may be down for a few days. Just in case..To this weekend, and its the turn of Andy Miles to be in your ears, as is his want. That's tonight, Saturday, usual time and place, 21.00 hrs via www.rti.fm. Oh, and Sky 0195. I'm quoting UK time here.Tomorrow, it's Johnny Reece in the chair (the old chair, not the new chair !) at 20.00 hours, same locations.Here's the playlists !.--------------------------------------------Andy Miles Show, Saturday 14th July 2007www.rti.fm and Sky 019521.00 hours, UK time :.Cozy Powell - Na Na Na NaManfred Mann's Earthband - CaliforniaThe Jayhawks - Life Floats ByHoodoo Gurus - Like A Wipe-outThe Who - Little BillyBob Dylan - The Changing Of The GuardsVan Halen - Dance The Night AwayType O Negative - Dead AgainOzzy Osbourne - No Easy Way OutPearl Jam - Army ReserveVelvet Revolver - Fall To PiecesLed Zeppelin - In The LightSpinal Tap - StonehengeMelanie - Lay Lady LayBlack Label Society - The Last GoodbyeThe Firm - You've Lost That Lovin' FeelingChris Robinson - Like A Tumbleweed In EdenThe Rolling Stones - New FacesThe Steve Miller Band - Space CowboyGuns n' Roses - Rocket QueenThe Jackson Analogue - Come OnAlanis Morissette - Joining YouThe Answer - Come Follow Me.---------------------------------.Johnny Reece Show, Sunday 15th July 2007www.rti.fm, and Sky 019520.00 hours, UK time :.Status Quo - In My Chair (he couldn't resist, could he !!!)Ladytron - DiscotraxxIan Dury and The Blockheads - Wake Up And Make Love With MeMetric - Poster Of A GirlHawkwind - Silver MachineDeath Cab For Cutie - Your Heart Is An Empty RoomNancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood - Lady BirdPsychedelic Furs - Heartbreak BeatElsa Leroy - Mieux Vaut Tard Que JamaisRamones - The Job That Ate My BrainHelicopter Girl - Johni The DogRoxy Music - The Bogus ManThe Beatles - She Said, She SaidPink Floyd - Take It BackMott The Hoople - Honaloochie BoogieTricky - OvercomeThe Kinks - Do It AgainDavid Bowie - A New Career In A New TownJohn's Children - Not The Sort Of Girl You Take To BedKenny Everett and Mike Vickers - Captain KremmenSimon and Garfunkel - Mrs Robinson (Graduate Version)Charlotte and Serge Gainsbourg - Lemon IncestRolling Stones - Out Of TearsGary Shearston - I Get A Kick Out Of YouTodd Rundgren - I Saw The LightDuke Ellington - Prelude To A KissThe Zimmers - My Generation.---------------------------------Strange how some peoples opinions can change, with maybe a piece of music, a certain mood, or whatever.I remember the previous weeks Reecey Soiree, and the buzz that was here in the Studio during and after the show was done. Everyone enjoyed it.Fast forward one week. At the close of the last track, our Scotsman turns round and says 'you know, I wish I hadn't actually played any of those'. He wasn't happy !A strange bunch, Radio Presenters. But I guess we wouldn't have it any other way..Wishing you all a special weekend, and thanks, as ever, for your support.I'll return on Tuesday/Wednesday with details of next weeks AZ Shows, via Radio Seagull..Steve Lloyd PR The Album Zone.Official Blog : http://thealbumzone.blogspot.comOfficial MySpace : www.myspace.com/albumzoneEmail : az@rti.fm.

Hey look, we're not furniture experts. We like to be thought of as rather good on the musical side, though.But no one can deny, there's something wrong with the picture at the top of this page. Look closely.It's the AZ Chair, in front of the Studio here at AZ Towers. Ermm... it's at something of an angle, don't you think ? Yes, yesterday, saw the end of the line (in somewhat spectacular fashion) for the infamous AZ Studio Chair.Oh, we grew to love it you know. It had developed a few endearing squeaks and creaks, but we loved that.However, the left arm brackets, in something of a perilous state, finally gave way in a 'reaching across for CDs whilst putting entire body weight on the cracked chair arm' fashion, if you get my drift. Oops !Happily, no injuries ensued. But it was mighty close !!!Now, relaxing, leaning back, is only an option if you quickly wish to end up in a heap on the floor, with a bump.The second picture, you'll be glad to hear, is what's coming as a replacement, hopefully this afternoon or tomorrow. Same type, as we do want consistency.A memorial service for the AZ Chair will be held, in private, later today..Ah, now to our Programmes this week, at the new times, on Radio Seagull.Midnight is the witching hour (UK time), so, an hour later for you Europeans, or 5 hours earlier for you East Coast Stateside listeners... the rest of you will just have to work it out !Tonight, Wednesday, it's Pixie, and on Friday, it's Andy Miles. Saturday night, at the earlier slot of 21.00 hours, it's Johnny Reece. That's all via www.radioseagull.com.Have a great week, and we'll be back in a few days, with tales of new chairs, and weekend playlists....Steve Lloyd PR The Album Zone


Playlists and Custard.What on earth can this mean ?Well, you'll just have to tune in to the Johnny Reece Show to find out, won't you ?.Hope you've had a fine week, it's been a quiet one here, but we swing back into action with this weekends playlists. Shows via RTI, at www.rti.fm to come, Saturday night at 9pm (UK time) it's Barry De Foyle, and, at 8pm on Sunday night, it's Johnny Reece. I will return just after the weekend, to tell you of the programme line-up we have via Radio Seagull, 4 nights next week, around this funny little globe of ours..But now, to the weekend !.Barry De Foyle Show : Saturday 7th July 2007 :XTC The Mayor Of SimpletonKim Mitchell Lick Yer FingerGentle Giant In A Glass HousePilot CanadaJack Bruce Johnny B ‘77Split Enz MaybeOrange Deluxe Jelly Shoes And Liquid EtherBill Bailey Unisex Chip ShopGordon Giltrap Dance Of AlbionRoxy Music Out Of The BlueAmon Duul II MetropolisSenor Coconut y Los Conjuntos The RobotsPeter Bardens The AnswerRoger Glover No SolutionAdrian Belew This Is What I Believe InLighthouse Love Of A WomanNenes Mashunku BushiBillie Davis Living In The PastTom Lehrer I Hold Your Hand In MineGravy Train Climb Aboard The Gravy TrainCan Fly By NightTrickster Baby Get Over MeTangerine Dream Rising Runner Missed By Endless SenderSeth Lakeman The ColliersBabatunde Olatunji Jingo Lo BaMotorhead Stay CleanPatricia Kaas Il Me Dit Que Je Suis BelleRod Stewart Farewell--------------------------------------Now, the Scotsmans turn... :The Johnny Reece Show : Sunday 8th July 2007 :Marvin Pontiac - Arms And LegsNew Order - 60 Miles An HourThe Pogues - A Pair Of Brown EyesJimi Hendrix Experience - Are You ExperiencedWhite Stripes - Stop Breaking DownAnthony Phillips - Lucy WillTyrannosauraus Rex - Misty Coast Of AlbanyElvis Costello - I've Been Wrong BeforeCSS - Off The HookThe Fire - Father's Name Is DadThe Doors - Spanish CaravanBryan Ferry - HiroshimaShocking Blue - Hot SandFranz Ferdinand - Do You Want ToBurning Love Jumpsuit - Cheerleader (Album mix)Pink Floyd - Take Up Thy Stethoscope And WalkJonathan Richman - I Can't Find My Best FriendLes Roches Martin - Tu A Peur De BruitRolling Stones - Play With FireThe Cure - There Is No IfMorris Quinlan Experience - 2 Allen GinsbergREM - Worst Joke EverAlice Cooper - School's OutDeaf School - What A Way To End It AllMoody Blues - In The Beginning / Lovely To See YouQueen - Death On Two LegsThe Byrds - You Showed MeLambchop - The Daily Growl----------------------------------------Thanks, as ever, for your support.Steve Lloyd, PR, The Album ZoneOfficial Blog : http://thealbumzone.blogspot.comOfficial MySpace : www.myspace.com/albumzoneEmail : az@rti.fm


Or, should that be, another 105 bite the dust... with the closure of Fopp, another highly regarded music chain. Music shops are very close to my heart, I grew up with them - and I owned a couple in my time, the last one having closed, exactly a year ago today, to be precise.I took the decision to get out, a decision I made, in retrospect, about 3 or 4 years too late. Trouble is, it was the most enjoyable job I had ever had. Good for the mind, great fun, but not good for the finances or stress level ! Now Fopp has gone, following all the others - Our Price, Tower, and the like. The writing was on the wall (in huge capital letters) many years ago, we all knew that - it's just that none of us 'Record Shop types' wanted to read it. It's the staff I feel for - told to go by email from the powers above, and also told there will be no wages for them either. This is where my sympathy stops dead for the likes of Fopp. Become corporate and separate from the people who build your business up from a market stall to a conglomerate, and then stamp on them when times get rough. I am quite sure the men at the top will not be short of wages, yes ?I know, it's not as simple as that, but it does make me angry.A good barometer, here in London, was Berwick Street in the Soho district, and it's environs.The largest concentration of Record/CD Shops in London, just a few years ago, and suddenly, 3 Shops remain, from around 15. And that, in 5 years.I understand the need, necessity, popularity for downloads, I really do - hey, I do it myself. What gets me, is the muscling in of supermarkets, and similar, to sell music. That is what I believe helped to destroy 'my industry' more than anything else. Maybe I should have started selling vegetables in my music store, ha ha ! Wouldn't have looked too good alongside the Album covers though, methinks.Oh, Amazon and Ebay too, but I see the need for them, and they are so good in many many ways, too. They have made the marketplace of this planet a much smaller place. Anywhere in this world, is now 'local'.But I am of the 'old school', I admit it, and am proud of it. I like Record Shops.I like the fact I still get a buzz from opening that Album cover of a particular fave, and still get a buzz from it. That's one thing they can never take away.A sad fact though, that my music knowledge, built up throughout my life, is, sadly, rather redundant now. Not required. Ouch, ouch, ouch. So, if you hear me on any of my shows spouting forth about some music trivia or other, forgive me. It's information that needs to get out, or my head will explode :).To the weekend here in drizzly old London town, and it's back to the business of radio shows. My own cold/flu/sore throat infested show, cough splutter, airs tonight, Sunday. I don't think you can catch flu through a radio, satellite tv, or via the net, so hey, you should be fine. Tune in, if you can. I'd love you to !It'll be on the Pod afterwards, for anyone wanting to tune in, any other time.The link to that will be on my page, and links to my colleagues too, as part of this thing we do, called The Album Zone..And wherever you are, please take care. My current town, London, and my dear hometown of Glasgow, have both been in the news in recent days, for all the wrong reasons. What a world this is..Here's tonights playlist, and have a safe weekend..Johnny x..-------------------------------------...Johnny Reece ShowSunday 1st July 200720.00 hrs (UK time)via www.rti.fm, and Sky channel 0195 :.Buck-O-Nine - Record StoreElvis Costello and The Attractions - High FidelityWhite Stripes - The Air Near My FingersAmbrose Slade - Knocking Nails Into My HouseThe Who - Heinz Baked Beans / Mary-Anne With The Shaky HandAlice Cooper - Lost In AmericaFleetwood Mac - Need Your Love So BadSuzanne Vega - Pornographers DreamGeorgie Fame - Get On The Right Track, BabyCounting Crows - ColourblindRoy Buchanan - Black AutumnBill Nelson - Do You Dream In Colour ?Simon and Garfunkel - Leaves That Are GreenT.Rex - Teenage DreamDeath Cab For Cutie - Your Heart Is An Empty RoomThe Dukes Of Stratosphear - Vanishing GirlAlton Ellis - MurielRoxy Music - Just Like YouSylvie Vartan - La MaritzaThe Enid - Golden EarringsSpencer Davis Group - I'm A ManNeil Finn - She Will Have Her WayFlash and The Pan - Down Among The Dead MenTom Waits - Jersey GirlStyle Council feat.
