How do I work this?
It's been 19 weeks since I last appeared on 6 Music. I'm back filling in for George Lamb again all this week, 10pm-1am, which can be a punishing shift, but it's also quite cool being on in the night time. So here I am, back in the old studio, and the machinery has already foxed me! I thought it'd be like hopping back up on a bike, but I've fluffed the pre-fade! This picture shows me asking producer Neil, "What have I done wrong with the pre-fade? Why won't it go back? Why can I still hear the beginning of the Mark Ronson track?" I'm sure it'll all come back to me before the night is out.
So much has changed round here since I last trod these carpets in May - they've got a new logo; many desks and offices stand vacant; competition prizes are piled high in every available space since we are no longer allowed to give them away; oh, and my pigeonhole has been sealed up. I don't know what happens to any residual mail that comes for me now. Perhaps it just goes in the bin. Bear that in mind if you've sent me a CD in the last four months.
Nice to hear from a handful of old listeners from the old days emailing and texting in: Chris Spurgeon, Justin, Loretta, Martin Shipperley ... in many ways it's like I haven't been away.
And I played I Believe In Miracles by the Jackson Sisters at 10.35.

Making nice radio again AC, I like it.
Your sense of humour comes over best of all on the radio, or perhaps today you are in a very good mood, being back on an that.
Andrew, I have to chicken out of staying up late tonight but I'll be listening tomorrow during the day on listen again and you'll at least have me until In Rainbows arrives in my e-mail box tomorrow. I've not booked Wednesday off work or anything...
I thought the Radiohead album was coming on Wednesday, not tomorrow? (Actually, it's after midnight on Monday, that means it's Tuesday, so Wednesday is tomorrow!) Exciting.
"Voodoo Ray" by A Guy Called Gerald - almost Proustian in it's ability to evoke a time and place in the opening bars.
Loved that Lily
Allen/Common track!
10.35 will've sounded bloomin marvelous then...
past my bedtime though
You back on 6Music, brilliant. Will listen again as we had to be up at 5.20am this morning!
You sounded on top form, Andrew! Best snigger-inducing quote: "...and I went to Worthing. I didn't stay long, though."
I enjoyed the Cinerama track, too!
10am tomorrow for Radiohead for anyone that's not seen the info
I stayed in Worthing 19 years!!! Was it that bad Andrew?
Recording last nights show to become tomorrows breakfast show as we speak.

Well I've never listened to 6 music before - but I shall give both you and it a spin later this evening. Anybody that plays I Believe In Miracles surely has the most marvellous taste. All the best, IanTB
Back in the big comfy seat again at 6? Lovely, just sorry I didn't know last night, you could've kept me company as Im allowing insomnia to rule my life these days. I shall be listening later.
Have a good time.
ooh, just remembered, does this means Total Shambles might reform, even temporarily? Not forgotten you know!
Let's just leave the Shambles as a beautiful one-off.
Be sure to email in tonight, if you're listening.
aw, that's a shame, never mind, I'll be listening
Who is "George Lamb", exactly? I don't mean that in a nasty way, but he seems to have appeared from nowhere and seems to have plans to conquer the Universe, or 6 Music, at least.
