This week, the Yellow Brit Road goes live on Boxing Day! We had some festive releases to play from around the indie, post punk and alt rock scene, discussed some lesser-known Christmas traditions from Wales, had some poetry, and other good fun. This week's setlist features

This week on the Yellow Brit Road! Slight advantage was taken of the fact that radio is an audio medium (and thank goodness it is), and we had brand new music hot off the presses (or not, given the global vinyl shortage). As a manner of speaking, at least. On the setlist this week, find

It's album listening time of the month on the Yellow Brit Road!

This time, we dive into an incredible album that recently turned 20 years old, Rufus Wainwright's breathtaking second album, Poses that released in 2001. The album melds together rock, indie pop, touches of RnB, influences from opera, theatre and classical music, all over Rufus's rich, distinct vocal harmonies and piano playing, to create a sound that is a timeless pop classic.

Rufus also has a new release, a live version of Unfollow The Rules out now.

Bring your copy of Poses and listen along to this fantastic album!

What didn't happen on the Yellow Brit Road this week? Treading down this leaf-strewn path, we had word from an authority on the 80s, Trevor Horn, touched down in Wrexham for the incredible FOCUS Wales festival (fyi they had a tiny Canadian showcase week too. Showcase festivals are the best things in the world and they can have everything), had some great synthpop releases, talked about the rise of shoegaze and indie scenes in south eastern Asia, and had great submissions and music per usual! Our setlist for this week had
