I had to put the heater on for the first time last night. Nonsense. If you're one of those people who claim to "prefer winter over summer" then I inherently don't trust you, but regardless, here is an hour of new music to listen to whilst snuggled up by the fire wearing six layers of clothes and already dreading the thought of 'Dry January'.

It's September. Kids are back at school, no more Out Of Office replies ​and, just like the past two years, I've forgotten that my house insurance is up for renewal so that's £200 I've not budgeted for again FFS.

We're half way through 2015 and what have you achieved so far? Worrying isn't it. At least you can take solace in the fact you're about to listen to June's Sentric podcast and potentially discover your new favourite band. That counts as an achievement, right? This month featuring...
