Haven’t posted in months. The website had been under repair for quite some time and I have been occupied cataloging my archives, a vast storage space filled with the history of rock. Thousands of t-shirts, poster, flyers, paraphernalia, books and of course albums. Almost completed.
Stay tuned.

Can only imagine the stash you’ve collected. Thanks for all the good years at BCN. Learned a ton about music through your little evening fireside chats.
You are welcome. Currently organizing it all for auction for my Foundation. Will post here when available.
Mr. Oedipus,
I’m reaching out on behalf of an archival and preservation project dedicated to documenting and safeguarding Coldplay’s live and promotional recordings. Our mission is to collect, catalog, and preserve the band’s broadcast history for cultural and historical purposes.
One particular item we’ve been seeking is the “Coldplay – X&Y World Premiere Radio Special” produced by FMQB in 2005 (cf. https://www.discogs.com/release/14268146-Coldplay-XY-World-Premiere-Radio-Special) to coincide with the release of the X&Y album. We understand that this promotional CD featured album tracks interspersed with interview segments conducted by yourself, and included a special acoustic performance of “Swallowed in the Sea”.
Despite extensive efforts, we’ve been unable to locate a copy of this recording. Given your potential connection to FMQB and involvement in the radio promotion at the time, we wanted to kindly inquire: Is there any possibility that a copy of this radio special still exists in your archives or among your contacts?
Our interest is purely for archival purposes; we are not seeking to distribute or commercialize the recording. Any assistance or guidance you could provide would be immensely appreciated!
Thank you for considering our request. We would be happy to provide more details about our project upon request.
Warm regards,
