The reason "unusual" songs end up on film soundtracks is because some joey at the film company thinks to themselves wouldn't it be good if their favourite group were on the telly or in the cinema. That is the only possible explanation I can find for the inclusion of so many 70s WHO songs on the soundtrack to "Quadrophenia", which is clearly set in the 60s. I like proper film soundtracks done by proper composers, such as Quincy Jones, Burt Bacarach, Don Bradman or Henley Regatta. But what I like most of all is not knowing who did the music because it's written in funny Iranian squiggley writing, like the film I went to see yesterday, "Don". I also like a bloke on a Wurlitzer coming up out of the stage, but you hardly ever get that nowadays, worse luck. Well done to Chris Leonard and new listee Mick Cooke for their excellent new websites. I don't think it would be going too far to say that they both have the potential to eventually become essential. The Stuart Murdoch Fan Site is fantastic, and will be even better once every single one of you has gone and made a little contribution. What do you like best about Stuart Murdoch? And who does he look like? Go on, run along and do it now. MIck's site not only boasts Keith's fascinating and provocative 70s WHO top ten, it also has a whole section entitled "WHO", which shows great devotion to the cause. This section houses a very nice autobigraphical piece by Stuart Lee Murdosch, which every self-respecting B&S fan will want to read and learn by heart. It's really very nice, I hope it's the first installment of a full length autobiography. I tried to send in my local politicians top ten, but I could only think of 4, and I don't think they were of much interest to anybody, so I binned that idea. But you can send in your top ten anything you like, so come on, get stuck in! I've visited the DROOLZ site as well, but I haven't recovered enough to comment yet. I've wonn tickets to the South Pyrenees music festival, where I shall see, God willing, touch wood, Ernest Ranglin, the Jamaican guitar legend who arranged and played on "My Boy Lollipop", as well as lots of other fantastic records, such as "The Heart of the Congos" and some Jackie Mittoo records. It is half way up a bloody big mountain. You can stick your T in the Park up your arse, mate. Hands up who's jealous?
