I see that we did eleven shows in a row .... eleven ... That's why we were so skinny, obviously.

I heard this last night on Mickey's show and immediately fell in love with it. A murder ballad from Luvcat and...John Cooper Clarke.
It's brilliant.

We (my musical chums and I) have just played 21 songs at a pretty cool festival in.... Benidorm.
We were well received. And met other (much cooler than us)pop group people.
And we were done and dusted by half past eight.
I mean... they know what makes a bass guitar player happy.

I can categorically confirm that the Brian Bilston attending the Derry gig is one of the 23 officially approved Brian Bilstons currently operating on the circuit. He will see you there.

It's just Dr John and Luvcat cruising the strip and tuning in their car radio to hear their single 'He's My Man' being played on the Late Show wMB. That's all.

This is the new collection from Alex E.T.
As well as the wonderful Summer For Now, it also has Little Wars. Which sums up modern life, in a way. Or, they're just two good reasons to listen to the LP.

He didn't always look this good, but he always dressd this good.
The brilliant Bert Berns song, Cry To Me, is a fitting way to mark his anniversary.

Pretty amazing graphics, as you'd expect from the people who invented our technological future. Or something.
Trans Europe Express now on the Late Show. Obvious, I know. But obvious is the radio presenter's friend, to paraphrase my pal Paul. Who's a Kraftwerk fan.
