A special Doncast for you today gang - I got Marvin up in Don Studios playing songs from his album, Devil In The Distance (out NOW people!). ALSO! Some inspirational music, and some chat about the songs, his influences, and how fucked up being made to pay four bar for a tube ride really is.
We are taking it back! And by we I mean me! I am taking it back!
Yes, in honour of the mighty Back In The Day remix (cheers Adam Walton at Radio Wales, Jon Hillcock at XFM and Rob Da Bank at Radio 1for the spins!), this week’s show is comprised exclusively of OLD SKOOL FRESHNESS. It was also done live, which was an interesting experiment, and one I intend to keep up. Oh, and we’ve got Wade on the phone, just back from Tokyo, with tales to tell regarding Simon Le Bon’s Tongue!
Hey kids! Welcome one and all TO…. AkiraTheDon.com Version 5! The brand new website, from Akira The Don and The Wizard Of Zef!
Obviously (duh!), it is a work in progress. So your feedback and suggestions are most welcome.
To celebrate, I made you a new podcast. Check that shit out. Its got loads of awesome music on it, including that song from my second album that leaked, along with dope stuff from The Indelicates (who we’re playing with tonight in Cambridge, be there or be a goober), Prince, Pydos In Spydos, Warren Zevon, and MORE!
YO! Doncast 8 is live. It’s the brand new Akira The Don podcast! Whoo! Loads of new music and my ill deep voice. Awesome. Plus! A bunch of shoutouts. Unfortunately many of you were too slow. And too many. So better luck next time. I still think you rule.

Tracklist!
Well, I was gonna put a tracklist, then I thought, well, that might spoil it. You’d know what was going to happen. IS that fun? What do you mob think?
PS - did you see that awesome gay advert?! Where the fuck did that come from?
