Montage 0
Friends of FOTS Rob Hyde is one of the good guys.
The other day, over on the Twitter, he asked for suggestions for a new mix he was making. Once we found out that the mix would consist entirely of songs used in the montage sections of shite films, we realised this was a round where we should be playing our joker and immediately threw in a few suggestions, some of which made the cut. Here’s Rob’s mix in all it’s glory. He considers it “perfect for doing cocaine in the gym to”, and who can argue with that.

This hour-long episode, entitled “Robson Man 2″, finds Cam and Craig in blistering form as they discuss the various merits of iPhones, Spotify and SKY Sports before moving on to give an insight into the working processes of a band lumbering towards the completion of it’s 2nd LP. It’s nowhere near as dull as it sounds, honest.

“Christmas Inside” by Barry Linnie & Friends of the Stars
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
