When The Sun Hits is now contributing to a weekly blog feature on the Strangeways Radio blog called Strange Week in Music. The full article can be found on the Strangeways blog; WTSH cross posts it only partially, with a link to the full article provided.
Strange Week in Music gives
each Strangeways DJ an opportunity to highlight one track that is
related to his/her show that week; the article will include information,
links, images, a video/stream of the tracks and where they can be
purchased. You can think of it as Strangeways' Week at a Glance.
If
you are new to Strangeways Radio, or are curious about other station
shows aside from WTSH, this weekly feature on the Strangeways blog will
be the perfect introduction. Below is WTSH's latest contribution.

from their forthcoming third album....
