Cactusk are a band that hail from Ann Arbour in Michigan and comprise of two members called Matt. Now this is not as usual as it seems as in 1871 the Senator of Michigan Matthew Matthewson passed a bill that demanded that all the men of the state should change their name to Matt and any new born male should be christened likewise. It is unsure why this happened but it was thought that the Senator was terrible with names and this was the best way to get around the problem. Of course none of this is true and it happens to be a coincidence but that would have just been a boring explanation now wouldn't it?

This week's interviewee is lead singer/guitarist Neb from the brilliant Glasgow band Playtone. The band were forced to change their original name of 'Plankton' as it was also the name of the local fishmonger's band made up of several shops from the West of Scotland (they played sole music he he). Neb changed the name after an agreement was struck that meant that they were entitled to free fish suppers after every gig in the Port Glasgow area (salt n' sauce not included).

The guys from punk rock band F451 came in for an interview recently. They are such a ball of energy those boys. Lead singer Jez was so fired up he could not sit still for 2 seconds. Unfortunately this proved to be very annoying and we had to knock him out with a BA Baracus style 'I ain't going on no plane fool' glass of milk. It was OK though he woke up later with a slight headache and a pair of shaved testicles.

Rob Manton lead singer of Manchester band Hey Bulldog took the interview questions from the Yahoo! Answers freakshow this week. Rob was at pains to say that he did not want to come out looking bad from the interview and he also didn't want me to make stuff up about him in the intro text like I usually do. This was a bit hurtful as I put in a lot of research before writing about an interviewee. It was OK though as we made up later, Rob is a centaur you see so I gave his back end a good grooming, fed him a sugar cube and patted him on the head and told him he was a good half horse half man.

Hey ho, another week, another interview. Graeme Duff is this week's subject and he fronts the Glasgow rock band Marshan . Marshan have taken their music to the four corners of the world; Japan, USA and Germany to name but a few. Unfortunately the guys are unlikely to be playing in Macedonia any time soon, since the fall of communism sales of Barry Manilow's 1983 album 'Manilow Magic' have risen 200% in the country and its hunger for middle of the road easy listening music knows no bounds. It is thought that this summer's fashion must have for the kids of Macedonia is a white suit and black waist coat combo.

Blimey O'Riley, you are gonna need a comfy seat and a nice cup of cocoa for this one. Scottish electronica activist Old Sarge has kindly answered the questions this time round and boy didn't he do a thorough job of it. After receiving his completed interview we had to employ the team of editors that worked on War and Peace to edit the thing down. Don't get me wrong I prefer this to one word answers or like David Blaine holding your hand up to the interviewer to show a crappy drawing of an eye every time he asks a question. No what I object to is that Old Sarge can spout more shite than me, this is my house Old Sarge and don't forget it.

If you are an avid reader of the TSM Radio interviews you will know that I put a lot of research into the artists prior to the interview process. So it was a big surprise that my latest interviewees Butler-Williams chose their name in honour of 70s bawdy British comedy. Chris Butler was obviously a fan of On The Buses and took his name from Blakey's nemesis Stan Butler and is apparent that Noel Williams is a massive fan of actor Kenneth Williams who as we all know was a stalwart of the Carry On films. Their new album 'Up the Back Passage and Down the Hole' is available in the summer. Of course non of this is true...oo'err missus.

The Neutrinos' Karen and Simon took some time out to do an interview for TSM Radio this week, they hail from Norwich which is famous for 'Sale of The Century' and Delia Smith. For those that don't know Sale of The Century was a quiz show from the seventies hosted by Nicholas Parsons. Now Nicholas Parsons once appeared on another game show called 'Shooting Stars', this was hosted by comedians Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer. Vic Reeves used to be a Pig Farmer and Karen for The Neutrinos was brought up on a pig farm, coincidence? Or some random facts cobbled together to look interesting? You decide. Oh also Delia Smith is a celebrity cook and has probably roasted a pig or two in her time, spooky no?

Welsh rockers Evil i are the participants in what is the Easter bank holiday TSM Radio interview. Being that it is a bank holiday like me you might be working and this usually means double pay. This became a bit of an issue for the Evil i boys especially Miff who is the self appointed shop steward for the band. Miff demanded that the boys got free pizza and a jumbo bottle of coke for coming in to do the interview, unfortunately our budget only stretched to a few packets of McCoy's crisps and five cartons of Um Bongo. The issue was finally sorted when I offered Miff and the guys a quick look through the January edition of Razzle I had ...ermm lying around in the office, Bass player Chris was a little traumatised by the whole affair.

Usually in this section I would give you some blurb about the interviewee based on loose facts I either made up or got off the back of a beer mat. But nothing I could ever write would match the band's own description of how they become to be the Drookit Dogs . So in their own words here it is...

"Born simultaneously at the bottom of a well Drookit Dogs very quickly learned how to put up with each other's dank and swampy stench. A lack of education meant they had to communicate in other ways, so as soon as Tom began tapping on the walls Matt began to make strange noises with his pondscum-coated vocal chords. Whitey collected the hair that fell from their drenched prune-like skin and combined it with an old piece of driftwood that had miraculously appeared. As a result he invented a device which made low bowel-rumbling notes when he plucked it.

The well acted like a speaker and very soon people travelled from miles around to hear this alien sound which erupted like a pus-filled boil from the darkness of the well. Eventually the king demanded that this sound be given a face, so a swat team was sent in to recover these three amorphous beings and place them on a bandstand. When they emerged it turned out they were not human but in fact canine (in a sense) and the lack of sunlight had inspired a new breed; they walked on their hind legs and had an inherent ability to play their very own brand of polk music. The king awarded them all with instruments and set them loose..."

There was something unusual the other day when entering the TSM Radio office, something not quite the norm. I looked around and saw that the men had combed their hair and looked like they had been near a wash basin, they smelt different, and there was a waft of Brut 33 in the air not the normal odour of stale beer and cigarettes. They were all wearing their best clothes too; it looks like they had made an effort. Then it hit me, sultry singer Bella Saona from The Fire and Reason was due in for an interview that day. I don't know they are like bees around the honey pot.

Stuart and Charlie from Super Cute Voices volunteered for the TSM Radio interview this week and I couldn't wait. If you are familiar with Super Cute Voices' songs you will know that they are influenced by Japanese culture and lo-fi music like the stuff you used to hear on Commodore 64 games. Well I was all excited to tell them all about my recent success on Kevin Toms Football Manager (ZX Spectrum 1984 version), I had recently purchased Kevin Keegan and Graham Rix and had just taken Ipswich Town to European Cup glory. Bizarrely the guys didn't seem impressed and just showed me a picture of some Japanese cartoon character called Domo Kun, it looked like a Weetabix with razor sharp teeth, those Japanese are mad.

The guys from Monster Eats The Pilot took the TSM Radio interview this week. Richard, Robert and Matt are based in California. Richard was born in France and sometimes incorporates french lyrics into his songs. It was evident that Richard had some french in him as when I explained that the band would not be paid for the interview he set up a demonstration and barricaded the office with bales of hay and sheep and started mocking me about my love making techniques and my lack of taste in food.

This of course is not true and I love the french...they make good cheese.

Well it has been a while since the last TSM Radio interview but we returned with a treat for you. Taking the interview this time round is Sophie B AKA A Girl and A Gun. Now you may notice in this interview tha Sophie only answers 9 questions and not the usual 10, this is due to a clerical error as we ran out of money before the last question could be drafted. Hopefully this will not spoil your enjoyment of reading the interview however we are starting a '10th question for Sophie' benefit if you are interested in donating to this worthy cause.
