This has just been on. It was v. good. I thought they had forgotten it
because it didn't come on until ten minutes beofre the end, or thereabouts.
Stuart chose 'A New England' by Kirsty MacColl and 'Let The Sunshine In' by
Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger and Whatever They Were Called.

If you live in the colonies, or are at work, or can't listen for some other
reason, or even if you're the kind of person who just likes to spoil things
for him or herself, here is a list of Stuart's choices:

I'm particularly looking forward to Friday. It reminds me of the golden age
of Alton Towers, when the most exciting thing was the boating lake.

I am taping this for Mooro, but if anyone else wants to tape it, good idea.
I might miss it one day and then Mooro will strafe me with his Me 109.

Maconie also played Lloyd Cole and the Commotions' classic follow-up single,
'Lost Weekend'. This came at a time when Lloyd said he wanted to be both a
singles and an albums band, like The Beatles.

Girls! Here is a picture with Ken Chu enjoying a massive pint in the
background:

Incidentally, my mother says two pints is a quart.

Cheers,

Sister Disco
