The geezer, Miller, talked about taping the top 40. I think we can all empathize with that. I think my editor used to tape it, until the Sunday when 'Bigmouth Strikes Again' came in at #28 and she gave up in dismay. She resolved that one day she would make a record with all the rapid acoustix thrills of the intro of 'Bigmouth Strikes Again'. And the thing is - she did. The geezer, Miller, also talked about washing up and pop. I should have him know, Tigermilk used to be my washing-up music, before the magical day when I heard it oan ma wee headphones oan a wee bus. After that I quite liked B&S, sometimes. But before that TM was distant music over the bubbles. The plates. The window. The bubbles. Other washing-up music of our time has included The Beatles Live at the BBC. I don't know the Harrison thing that the geezer was on about. I see where MyMomSays talked about an interesting park. It sounds like an out-take from a Marshall Berman video. But did he ever make videos? Youn talked about what to do with her hands. Probably it's best not to think about them too hard. She also talked about a 'laundromat' in the South-West. I wouldn't know about that, I've never been in that region. I did read Foucault in a 'laundromat' once, mind, in October long ago. I am starting to prefer this word 'laundromat' to the more sordid 'laundrette'. You wouldn't find a place in a picture like, let's say, THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE, being called a 'laundrette'. I have just realized that this theme connects with 'Marx & Engels'. No-one has mentioned the Wallasey connection yet, so I'd better do it. (Have I done it yet?) I see where the Vicar was talking bollix about the Bible. Remember, for listeners as old as me - Desmond Carrington at 1pm. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
