Lamacq Live the four hour Show on what going on live around the UK born out of the ashes of the Fame Evening Session which last almost 10 years and was must hear during the britpop days Is coming to a End. Ouch.

the Higher Up at the BBC is reworking the radio one schedule and i sad to say he loseing his monday Night Show (4 to 8 PM EDT) to Colin Murray at ten (or 5PM EDT)

His Last show will be on September 25, But hey look on the bright side he still host a cool show on the BBC 6 music(www,bbc.co.uk/6music) ever day from 11AM to 2 PM EDT so all hope is not lost.

So there is pleanty of News Outside the 313 let look and there is bad News if you a fan of the Broken Social Scene as the band will go on a long, Long extended Hiatus after there Fall Tour, BSS Lead singer Kevin Drew told Billborad.com "We've become that band that doesn't really rehearse anymore," "We just get together and go tour and play live. We've lost a bit of that thing we had at the beginning where we tried to challenge each other a lot more."

"The last few years have been hard," he continued, noting the dramatic uptick in media interest in Canadian rock bands. "Things kept getting bigger and changing. But we've had an incredible, incredible, incredible run. It's something that can't be taken for granted. If we kept going [without a break], we'd be taking it for granted. Next time, we'd be doing college tours for money. That sucks the music out of you. Next thing you know, you're trying to get teenagers to buy your albums."

Now uring this long Break the members of BSS Brendan Canning,Kevin Drew,Justin Peroff,Charles Spearin,Andrew Whiteman,Jason Collett,David Newfeld,Leslie Feist,Emily Haines,James Shaw,Evan Cranley,Amy Millan,Ohad Benchetrit,Martin Davis Kinack,Jo-ann Goldsmith,Torquil Campbell,John Crossingham will do there will release new alblum including Andrew Whiteman's Apostle Of Hustle, Feist and Dave Newfeld and Emily Haines solo debut.
