In this week’s show we remembered when The Selector and Elvis Costello collectively thumbed their noses to the radio industry while averting a finger wagging from Ofcom by playing the ‘radio friendly’ version of Sucker by the excellent Midwich Cuckoos. We celebrated two classic Ska albums that were released on the same day back in 1979 and doffed our bucket hat to the best opening lyric in a song EVER from Shaun Ryder and when Slade were film stars. Plus we celebrated Spurs appointing their 4th manager for this year. COYI! All this while featuring two of the greatest covers of all time, getting in the mood for another Soul Weekender, and testing your musical knowledge on lyrics from The Dame and when Ken Boothe and The Police topped the charts?
So, if you missed it because an old friend came in from out of town. Or there was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN’T YOUR FAULT; YOU SWEAR TO GOD!!!!…. Then you can listen to the show by simply clicking on the link below.
