Have you heard Teenage Kicks yet? Saturday mornings from 8-10am we dig deep into the alt vault to bring you a look back at our musical life before nirvana. Included in the show each week is a Featured Artist - that you will hear tracks from at 8:15, 8:45, 9:15, and 9:45. Last week we launched the show with the Clash as the featured artist, this week we'll shine a spotlight on The The.

As the band's wiki entry says, The The is a British musical and multimedia group that has been active in various forms since 1979, with singer/songwriter/frontman Matt Johnson being the only constant band member. Releases are fairly few and far between for the band, but over the years The The have sold several million albums internationally and achieved critical acclaim -- their 1983 album Soul Mining was voted the third best album of the year by British music magazine Melody Maker.

So here's the new weekly question for you - please leave a comment if have a The The request - or if you've got a memory of a live show or if The The meant something special to you in your life.

This is the Day (Saturday, that is) to hear some The The on Teenage Kicks -

Loved the show this past Saturday, but just happened to hear it because I was up that early on a Saturday. I couldn't find the show on your schedule on the Current website, doing a search on your site with various search strings didn't pull it up - finally I decided to check out the blog and found it here. How about some promotion for that show, people?!

Keep up the great work.
