Sean Bean’s advert voice has infiltrated my neural pathways. My every thought and inner monologue now sound like he’s at the wheel... And I'm an Owl.

A highlight of Lemon Jelly's classic Breezeblock mix for @maryannehobbs.bsky.social - which I had burned onto CDr and never off the stereo in my first car.

Thanks! I heard some of this on R5 this morning - a very thoughtful interview and he made some interesting points, particularly around independent book shops. Look forward to the pod. It was worth avoiding the Ashes for.

Obligatory Motiv 8 remix and overplayed on the radio perhaps - I tend to skip it these days.

"Hoping one day a door will be ajar
At least so we can recompense
Our betrayal of our hard won friendship..."
I genuinely think Dr Buck's Letter is a masterpiece. The inventiveness of the lyrics matched by the music - which sounded like nothing else on Radio 1 at the time, when Peely rinsed it.

Quite partial to those 'Hell-oumi' fingers and the 'Spooky' chilli cheese tortillas.

We were truly in the golden age of the CD single remix weren't we? Underworld's 15 minute remix of 'Cool Kids Of Death' is jaw dropping.
