And we're back...

Actually, in a way we've just arrived, as a blog anyway.

The Fog has been going strong on ShmuFM (Aberdeen's first and only full time community radio station) since October 2007, but it's taken me this long to set up this simple blog. Shameful I know, but it's done at last and now we can get on with the program.

If you haven't checked out the program, The Fog is a two hour weekly radio show dedicated to experimental music that airs on Sunday nights from 10pm to midnight (UK time) on 99.8FM. Not in Aberdeen? No problem, you can also catch the show via webcast here: www.shmu.org.uk/shmufm.m3u

It's presented by myself, Bill Thompson (I often play under the name Professor Lofi) and you can check out more about me on my site: www.billthompson.org. The show also regularly features visiting and local guests.

So, check here for playlists after each program (I rarely know in advance what will be played) and feel free to post your comments, positive or constructive, or any requests and I'll do my best to get back to you.

I'll also do my best to post links to 'listen agains' for each week as my schedule allows. Please be patient as this is a bit time consuming, but I'll do my best.

So there you have it, a blog for the Fog. Thanks for tuning in, and I'll catch this Sunday,

Bill
