BBC Radio 6 Music - Chris Hawkins, Geekathon

Hawk searches for the king and queen of 6 Music geeks.

Haven't heard the Hawk show before? Well, if you're an early riser you could help Chris, and his long-suffering producer Slev, pick a 5.15 track - the first request of the day on 6 Music - and this morning it was an excellent choice: Black Sands by Bonobo.There's also a BBC weather forecast from one of the forecasters off the telly - it really is a weather report like no other. This week it's John Hammond at the weather helm. And if you like useless bits of musical information then The Rockbook Files will fill you in on what happened on this day in history. The Yardbirds and Arcade Fire were under the spotlight this morning. However, we think the best part of the show has to be the ridiculous chat in between the great records, new and old. You've got to check out Slev's top 3 rundown of Hawk's geekiest moments to date!
