The Steve Show is the unofficial name for Steve's show on BBC 6 Music, which started in January 2007. He is joined by long-time friends Dan, Harry, and Rufus who are, in the best possible sense, nobodies. The show focuses on music more than banter but is not without its comedic and anecdotal elements. Steve brings some old Xfm features into his show, including Hip-Hop Hooray and Mr. Cover-Cover (formerly known as Cover Me Up). However, the show has also introduced many of its own unique features such as 'Songs to Seduce Women By','The Fiendishly Difficult Music Question', and 'Songs to Nurse a Broken Heart'.
Due to its formerly "laddish" nature, Steve and his mates conducted a search for a "She-J" in the spring of 2007, accepting tapes and mp3s from women wanting to join them regularly in the studio. Currently on air with the boys is She-J Sammy who has been quite well received by listeners.
Episodes
Episode 1
Introductions all round, as we are welcomed to Steve's mates. We get to see the return of a couple of old features and a new one where Dan and Harry's musical tastes are pitted against each other. Also, Steve's mate Dave calls, on his way to walk from Land's End to John O' Groats for no particular reason.
This weeks Mr Cover Cover is Love The One You're With by The Isley Brothers
Episode 2
This weeks Song To Seduce Women By is First Day Of My Life by Bright Eyes.
Episode 3
Steve is introduced to Super Furry Animals. This weeks Song To Seduce Women By is Northern Sky by Nick Drake. This weeks Mr Cover Cover is Crazy by Ray Lamontagne.
Episode 4
Steve is introduced to Maxïmo Park. This weeks Song To Seduce Women By is I'll Sing A Love Song To You by Candi Staton and this weeks Mr Cover Cover is Because The Night by Patti Smith.
Episode 5
This week's show was pre-recorded which Steve thinks takes some of the energy out of the show - and it's hard to disagree really. Comic Stewart Lee drops by to share his musical choices, and as usual we'll have four listener picks championed by Dan and Harry. This weeks Song To Seduce Women By is A Case of You by Joni Mitchell while this weeks Mr Cover Cover is One by Johnny Cash.
Episode 6
During this episode apparently some of the equipment started to smoke whilst playing a song and everyone had to change to a different station room. This weeks Song To Seduce Women By is The Sweetest Thing by U2 while this weeks Mr Cover Cover is Pleasant Valley Sunday by The Wedding Present.
