This was written & recorded [in a rush] back in 1999, on the day of my last ever radio show on Crash.FM. 

I played this & Wire's Mr Suit as the last two songs for my final Saturday night show, I quit the week after.
It was a race against time to have something for the final show, so it's not a great piece of work, but it served it's purpose.
Around that time it was also played at the end of the night at the Fukdup Ravers Social Club event that took place in Liverpool at The Cosmopolitan Club [now The Kazimier]. Thanks to Robin Jackson for playing it [unheard] on the night.
That same night Crash.FM suits partied with Boy George next door in Cream .
Recorded by Frank Sparks at Sparks Studio.

Blacklist - Krashed Out [You Turned Out To Be Fake & Phoney] 1999

Back in the late 90's Janice Long had an idea for a brand new radio station for Liverpool/Merseyside and that station was Crash FM. 
Janice put together a group of people, some with experience in radio & some without & away we went. 
For a short while it was fantastic & quickly became a focal point for all that was good & groovy in Liverpool & Merseyside music making. 
All was good till the suits showed up, dirty dealings & backstabbing were slimed into the mix and the station was mugged for it's radio broadcasting licence. Same old same old probably, but a fantastic opportunity was squandered by people who like to claim they support artistic & cultural endeavour and go on to get gonged by her Maj for their seedy philistine 'philanthropy'. Now here's Tom with the weather...

I used to do a Saturday Night  Show 10pm til 1am. I mainly played Saturday night club music but I mixed it up a bit, this selection from show 3 features an interview with Colin Newman [Swim Records/Wire], in the interview Colin talks about Swim Records, Gez Varley's G Label & Wire. 

To finish, some music.

Here's a bit of show 8 on Crash FM, Silver Bullet came in to the studio with pal Johnny Breaks, we played some Silver/Silvah tracks old & new and Bullet & Breaks did some freestylin'. 
It seems I didn't have much to say about the in-studio antics, I think it was just a little unexpected, but let me tell you it was great fun being in the studio and having Silver Bullet do his thing.

Also a music mix  to finish.
