SavioursOfRock.com recently caught up with THERAPY?'s Michael McKeegan. The following is a brief excerpt from the interview:

Q: Music Through A Cheap Transistor came out this year. Tell us a little bit about that.

Michael: "That was a collection of all our Radio 1 sessions we recorded from 1991-1998…it’s a bit of a UK institution where you spend 8-10 hours recording some exclusive versions of songs for a radio show. Ours is pretty cool as we have different versions (arrangements/lyrics), some covers and some unreleased stuff in there. Originally it was a ‘download only’ thing but the hard copy came out August 13th I think that’s a great thing as there also is a cool booklet with some funny anecdotes and old pictures from our archives."

Q: You've been busy, because you also have the Webgig thing. Tell us about that as well...

Michael: "That was an idea we had to do something ‘interactive’ with our fans. Originally we wanted to do it live with fans phoning or emailing requests in but when we looked into the logistics of it we decided to do something a little more straightforward. Basically, we posted a list of 100 or so songs and people voted to choose the setlist. Then we played the top 12 tunes, made good audio and video recordings and made them available for download…it seemed to be a big success and we even had special signed sleeves which were hand numbered and mailed to everyone who ordered. We just finished that on August 10th but look out for future ones….we have a whole list of ideas and concepts for one off web gigs!"
