When Gentlemen's Gold burst through my speakers for the first time, I think the first word that popped into my head was "blimey"; that is, the good sort of blimey.  For really there is not any other possible reaction to a track that so stridently leaps into motion before you even get a chance to turn up the volume.

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.

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.

Ka-ting! Perhaps the title of this track is itself alone a wonderful way to describe the shiny new sound of Super Cute Voices. Fresh, innovative and totally electric, this Welsh new-waving duo have created something that can only really be described as a fabulous lo-fi frenzy. With a sprinkling of synth on a totally high voltage, for only two people Super Cute Voices manage to make an awful lot of solid sound.

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.

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.
