11.15 L.A. time, that's 19.15 here in the jolly old U.K., by my reckoning.

cheers Hesh, will see if i can pick it up

A link to the live stream here without too much faff:

Also easy to tune in via iTunes or your fave internet radio app if you're that way inclined.

Now on the air.

Garvey says that the band hopes to tour the US late this year.

First song is "Grounds for Divorce." Has a definite honky-tonk roadhouse-style flavor to it.

Second song is "Jesus is a Rochdale Girl." The "Rochdale Girl" is named Kath, she lives in Spain with her husband who looks like George Clooney, and they just had a baby.

Third song. "The River." Craig wrote it on the piano in Paris, the chords were recorded on Guy's mobile. Lyrics inspired by "Junebug." "A hymn not necessarily belonging to god," says Garvey.

you can watch too...

Fourth song. "Puncture Repair."

Fifth song, "Lippy Kids."

Last song. "One Day Like This." "This song has done us the most favors of all the one's we've written. This tune feels like an old friend now."

I love the DJ's words on Lippy Kids - 'it goes from the ear straight to the heart'....really struck a chord with me.

the dj is obviously a fan.

KCRW seems to love Elbow. They have an acoustic version of "Dear Friends" online.

Post a link! Not the best website to find things quickly.

Can't believe Guy namechecked my local social club in Whitefield, Ste Bernadettes - didn't know that the vid was based on that very club despite knowing that they used to/do, frequent it.

Am bloody chuffed !

Cheers hesh and MrsW for the link/heads up !
