Anyone that’s listened to previous shows but not got around too this one yet won’t be surprised to know that it’s absolutely superb . If you’ve yet to listen to any of MWWS then you really should get with it . Just saying !

The Woman In The Dunes by Kōbō Abe, first published in 1964 sits on top of Keith Cameron’s 168 Songs of Hatred and Failure. Great book but wish had index as can’t now remember which song entry included the book mention.

35 years of Manics devotion and the only music they’ve ever turned me onto is McCarthy. Books though, lost count. This is the latest. Quite enjoyed it but boy, there’s a lot of sand…

Such a complex issue but in this case RD only has some viewpoints I don’t subscribe to - doesn’t negate the all the positive things.

That’s fine, I understand that viewpoint and in no way agree with his views on those things. But I doubt there’s anyone I agree with on everything.

Maybe, I don’t know, but his efforts in helping teenagers with cancer is more than I’ll ever achieve.

Roger with his knighthood

Yeah, well, all things considered, I’m actually pleased for Sir Roger Daltrey. Can’t say he doesn’t deserve it - and look at his wee lil face.

Mentioned this album the other day and loved seeing them live but this review properly explains what SML are about in ways I never could. πŸ™ŒπŸ½

I finally listened to my first πŸ’ Show. I really wanted it to be good as πŸ’ Mark, the selector, is an old school friend of mine. Friends - its BLOODY EXCELLENT! Every tune was new to my ears and a great listen. I also love how πŸ’ mixes up the genres and eras but keeps a vibe. That's how I try to DJ.

Can’t ask for a better review than that - thank you! I’m delighted (and a touch relieved). Glad you gave it a shot.
