Knight of the Roundtable?
At 6am on Saturday morning (6pm UK time) I had the honour of being "Critic of the People" on BBC 6 Music's weekly Roundtable programme.
My contribution consisted of three phone-in segments throughout the show, giving marks out of ten and pithy comments about the latest tracks from the likes of Foo Fighters, Cardigans, and the Buzzcocks all-star John Peel tribute.
Panelists in the BBC studio included Jesus Jones mainman Mike Edwards, and former Q editor Andrew Collins.
The show is hosted by ex-NME scribe Steve Lamacq, who is a top bloke. As, it must be said, is Mr Collins, who gave me an unsolicited "10" for my contribution.
This little foray marked my first appearance on any kind of radio since RadioActive's 10th anniversary broadcasts in 1986 or thereabouts.
Great fun, and well worth getting up early for.
