As the six week holiday draw to a close, I can hear the crying of the kids, knowing school is almost in session, or is that the Teachers with dread, or the parents…..with Joy. Either way, it will soon be Christmas…..baa humbug I say.

I dug out a few pop and rock gems today, which got me raving nostalgically and here the video of one, from The Cars, who had more then just Drive intheir lexicon of great songs- check the 80 hit ‘HeartBeat City’

Twofers today was chirping at those brit pop wide boys BLUR, as we hear one member is forming a band with Naked chef, Jamie Oliver, so we played ‘There no other way’ and ‘Under the west way’…. no puns or Psychosomatic references intended.
