Why hello there.

There's only two weeks of live programming left for this second 
semester, which is probably sadder than puppy road kill. However, that 
still means there is just under three hundred hours of shows to listen 
to, as well as a heartier than ever number of podcasts available to 
download. Not only that but we have more events coming to you shortly.

Do you remember when rock was young? And when Fresh Air used to hold 
their annual Twist and Shout night? If so then you'll be mighty pleased 
to hear that the 50s and 60s night phenomona will be returning for two 
more nights this year. The last Twist and Shout back in February went 
down so well that we're hosting it again this Thursday at Medina. Doors 
are at 10pm and entry is only £3, just like the old days.

Indie Club Together 2008 is less than two weeks away (Thursday 20th 
March), and /The FAN/ can now finally reveal the whole line up for the 
night. This years line up are, awesome. Specifically, there will be ; 
Fast, I Fly Spitfires, Dogtooth, The Egg, Clash! Jerk Alert! The Dance 
Disaster Collective, Black Tape, This is Music, and Sick Note. All that 
for £4 before midnight or £5/£4 students after midnight, as that's how 
the inflation cookie crumbles. For chin wagging, information and more 
add the Indie Club Together myspace 
<http://www.myspace.com/indieclubtogether>.

And finally here is Graham to tell us more. Well it's still just /The 
FAN/ talking but 'our Graham' and 'our Cilla' will be delighting us with 
their chat on Saturday 15th March at Teviot for our version of Blind 
Date. As a bit of fun this weekend Fresh Air will be putting on a Blind 
Date show, complete with amusing accents, corny decor and the sexiests 
of guests. Our tongues will be held firmly in our cheeks, but with such 
a romantic atmosohere will that be where they remain? Head down to 
Teviot on Saturday at 7pm to find out, entry is by donation.

If you have any comments, recommendations or suggestive remarks which 
you want /The/ /FAN /to know about drop us an e-mail at 
thefan at freshair.org.uk

Have a good week,

/The FAN/ x

This week's free track is a simple but beautiful greeting from the 
Futuristic Retro Champions; it's called 'Hi' and you can download it 
right here <http://www.freshair.org.uk/newsletter/retro_champs_-_hi.mp3>.

The FRC <http://www.myspace.com/retrochamps> are becoming a bit of a 
Fresh Air favourite having played at the Fresh Air Live gig during the 
epic Student Festival earlier this year, and nipping playfully at our 
ears last Monday when they were guests on the Sex, Drugs and Cotton 
Candy show.

According to their myspace:

"Futuristic Retro Champions formed in 2006 after the collision of two 
small stars caused a mass expulsion of electron particles. These 
particles collected in five human shaped lumps scattered across the 
globe. Over time their destiny to reunite and once again illuminate the 
sky with nuggets of electro pop bliss was fulfilled." The /FAN /thinks 
that just darn dandy, and a great reason to find out more about them.

They have four dates in Edinburgh coming up in the next few months, the 
first one being on the 5th April at This is Music at Henry's Cellar Bar, 
the rest being listed in orderly fashion on their myspace 
<http://www.myspace.com/retrochamps>.
