unsure if you're already aware or best place to post this (as it's clearly new album promotion) but there's a planned hour slot for the Chems a week today [next Thursday] on BBC 6music at 0930 hours GMT. Thought you'd appreciate a heads up 📻

Perhaps in Chems To The World? Or the FTBF section - maybe its own thread within that section?
Anyway, thanks for the heads up. Here's a link (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001q0fr) to the listing on the BBC website.
Confusingly it also says 6th September, but I think that's the date they uploaded this schedule to the website.
Here's the link to the show, available for re-listening for the next 29 days.

Yeah ❤️
This song forever.
Before We Are The Night dropped, us forum people got wind of the track listing and a fair number of us here had assumed this was going to be an album closing fist-pumping boot stomper of mind melting proportions, lol Talk about throwing us for a loop when we actually heard this! Come summer 2009, this song came fully into its own and took on an entirely new form personally, seeing my husband into rehab... every year since, The Pills Won't Help You Now is like a gift on his "birthday" sobriety date. It really holds a special place in my heart, all these years later.
Probably not worth starting a new thread for this.
Radio 1 is the "youth" station at the BBC, 6 Music is the "alternative" station, and Radio 2 is the pop station for um, slightly older folk.
I think this is the first time the Chems have been put in that bracket. I don't remember them doing any Radio 2 shows before this. Time marches on, eh?

That is going to set us on a hunt to find stories about Pills meaning to the forum.

Probably not worth starting a new thread for this (hmm, deja vu).
Tom doing another interview talking about FTBF on Double J, Australia. From 1hr,44m Here. (https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/doublej-mornings/mornings/102859080?fbclid=IwAR3sX-y1j3ZcjC2gYVFt81Wm8CUkkcDLgrP-HJoetOIUUucaEPuxgY7DYFg) Hit the listen button on Tom's face.
The presenter sounds like she's reading a script that someone else wrote for her in her intro.

I am glad you posted this! (And found a thread to post it in... there's a lot of press coming from all directions so maybe the thread could use a name change? Hmmm...) Anyway I had a listen. It seems the Chems are quite looking forward to their upcoming visit to Australia! :) I liked the commentary and insight about capturing joyfulness in music, the joy in the Beatles Here Comes The Sun, and the challenge in getting that emotion to hit just right in making music.
