So you'll hear Meshell Ndegeocello's version of Fantasy, plus another track will get a second airing - both taken from the album Interpretations.

* The House of Grooveline this week features the Richard and Judy of soulful house! Kenny Bobien and his wife Stephanie Cooke have finally teamed up for a touching, quality soulful house tune - Hold On To Me - and you'll hear it in full

* The Grooveline Threeplay this week features three tracks from a quality soul music album from a woman called Misa Malone. There's nothing stunning about the album, but it is one of those great sounding pieces of work - high quality production, great songwriting and a wonderful voice

Last week's streaming problems

Apologies to those who tried to tune into the first broadcast of Show 135 on Friday 4 May 2007. Due to a hardware fault, there was no audio stream between the Blast 1386 studios and the Live 365 server. Therefore, all of Hour 1 and part of Hour 2 of the show wasn't available online.

The AM service was unaffected and the Sunday night rebroadcast went out as normal.
