Hey early risers! The mornings are lovely and light, so come and join 6 Music's secret society of cool music and daft chat with Hawk, and his long-suffering producer Slev. From Yazoo to Grinny Grandad, Chris plays a wide variety of new, and vintage, alternative tracks. The 5.15 Request was a remix of a huge track by U2; BBC weatherman Jay Wynne brought us sunshine and delivered another Funky Forecast; Lee Marvin's 'Wandrin' Star' got a play, and Faith No More featured in The Rockbook Files. Plus there was more talk of tarts, Slev shared her story of when she interviewed the rather elusive Aphex Twin, listeners suggested a futuristic track to end the show with, and Chris was almost reduced to tears. Business as usual then.
