Chris Hawkins - Teach Your Children

Haven't heard the Hawk show before? Well, if you're an early riser you could help Chris, and his long-suffering producer Slev, pick a 5.15 track - the first request of the day on 6 Music - you can pick anything you like. There's also a BBC weather forecast from one of the forecasters off the telly - it really is a weather report like no other. And if you like useless bits of musical information then The Rockbook Files will fill you in on what happened on this day in history. However, we think the best part of the show has to be the ridiculous chat in between the great records, new and old. This morning Hawk played an old skool Prodigy track, some Arcade Fire, The Villagers, Joy Division, and Rufus Wainwright, amongst many others. The daft chat was all about your cool school teachers, and the music knowledge they passed on. Captain Beefheart seems to be a firm favourite of the leather elbow patch brigade!
