So here it is again, another def jam. Today’s Music Time features Cilla Black’s version of the Public Enemy classic ‘Don’t Believe The Hype’. Disgusted reactions from Eldon & Cornwell & Once In A Lifetime dance moves from Serafinowicz. You can't say I don't spoil you.
The 3rd & final part of ‘Down The Line: Behind the Microphone ‘- a series celebrating 20 years since the Whitehouse & Higson Radio 4 show - is now available on the Oxide Ghosts YouTube channel. Here is a very brief taster of some of the fascinating documentary material shot in 2006. I have also uncovered footage of some full length phone calls that didn’t make these cuts - so there will be more from DTL in due course.
Happy 80th Birthday to the great Robert Fripp. I made this set of prints - “Heroes” - in March, 2013 after Toyah & Robert’s appearance on the ITV game show All Star Mr & Mrs.
No Pussyfooting, today’s the day to rejoice in the Cheerful Insanity of Exposure, Discipline, Sacred Songs & Crimson Kings, Matching Moles, Roaches, Scary Monsters & Super Creeps.
Today’s Music Time is from the Toast Of London Series 2 episode - Desperate Measures. Matt Berry as Toast, Harry Peacock as Ray Purchase & Geoffrey McGivern as Noris Flipjack all giving it full voice down in the woods. Toast side fact - the wonderful singing voices of Flipjack & Purchace are provided by Neil Hannon (Divine Comedy) & Thomas Walsh (Pugwash).
