Blast FM Intro and Oliver discussing his Our Condition CD

Back at the end of 2007 Worldview's Oliver Shaw had the good fortune to be Damian Brogden's first Special Guest on his new "Shifty Disco Show" on London station Blast FM. This was an act of pure nepotism as Oliver and Damian are buddies from back in 'Nam (Cheltenham). Oliver introduced tracks from his current friends-and-family promo CD "Our Condition", played two songs live'n'acoustic in the studio, aired favourite tracks from seminal influences Prince, World Party and New Order, and generally philosophised about life and music, while addressing head-on the inevitable questions about his historical connection with the biggest band on the planet. Some of this banter was deemed "very funny", and copies of the now legendary show are currently circulating among the Rock cognescenti, much as Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's "Derek & Clive" bootlegs were a fixture of the Led Zeppelin tour plane in the '70s (Coldplay have all requested copies). Here are some choice excerpts.
