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.

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.

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.

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.

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..."
