OMG! It's OMD!

Simon Mayo|07:43 UK time, Monday, 6 September 2010

Three weekend highlights chez Mayo to mention:some friends' 25th wedding anniversary do in a marquee;a gig in a pub from Ahab; and a visit to a stationers. I only mention the last item because I love stationers and stationery at this time of year. I don't know why, it's probably just a back to school thing. Go on, you know want a small pile of A4.

And Ahab played Cropredy and Bob Harris said they were good, so I went to see a free gig they did in a pub last night. And surprise surprise, they are top notch. They pay UK Americana with tight 4 piece harmonies. It's foot stomping Mumford and Sons style country really. There's a few videos of them online but barely anything else. But they sounded the real deal to me.

And we'll be welcoming Andy McCluskey to talk Orchestral Manoevres In The Dark. Yes they're back (well, him and Paul Humphreys) with a new album and single. It's been 18 years, so there must be a few tunes and ideas ready to go. OMD from 6 tonight.

And for oldies, let's do eavesdropping. Hearing conversations you're not supposed to hear. Who knows who has been listening to whom, there are many stories around today. But we just want your bugging tunes please in the usual drop off point below.

That'll be Drivetime then from 5.05. Have a great Monday.
