Sad news to report 2017:
Friend of the show, Nigel has passed June 2017 at his home in Santa Monica, CA. I have known Nigel for over twenty years and he was my first special guest at INDIE1031. This was his second appearance on the show where he helped pick the playlist and related stories of signing The Boomtown Rats and meeting Phil Spector. He had simply had one of the best EARS in the business and will be sadly missed for his opinion and knowledge and laughter. Also check out the second hour where we chose the best tracks of 2011. (additional show links below). Farewell Friend.
