Some stories covered on the show:
Ian Hislop attends the Leveson Inquiry and says that no new press laws need to be implemented (Hurray for a free press!)
Wikipedia protest against SOPA (Harray for free information!.. although I didn’t know too much about that story because Wikipedia was down…)
MP’s urge us to take 2 nights off booze a week (Hurray for free livers! But for many surely this is an increase?!)
So it was a freedom filled week all round and here are the songs I thought would help celebrate this freedom:
Arctic Monkeys – I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor
Beatles – Help! [a reflection on my broadcasting prowess]
Stornoway – Zorbing
The Cure – Lovecats
The Subways – Rock ‘n’ Roll Queen
Starsailor – Alcoholic [allegedly the state of our nation]
Blur – Song 2
The Jam – Going Underground
Bob Marley – Could You Be Loved
Queen – Flash
Rolling Stones – Sympathy for the Devil
Coral – In the Morning
Kanye West (feat. Chris Martin) – Homecoming
Seeing this list makes me realise there is no rhyme nor rhythm to my song-selection process… although admittedly all of the songs do contain both rhyme and rhythm. They’re all great songs though!
